Can I just say, I think hoarding up on temporary powers like Shivans, Nukes, HVACs really goes against the spirit of the game. CoX is the only game I know of that would accept such rampent misuse of powers in order to bypass the tactics/strategies needed to kill an encounter; where tactics/strats are even necessary and its not just a mountain of regen to climb over. Seriously I would have expected these powers to have been shot down years ago.
So should the devs balance encounters with these powers in mind (i.e, making them required), or should they disable them and balance them without them? Personally, I think it should be the latter, but I guess people love farming their shivans.
Because that is the bigger picture which people seem to miss as they rant about "OH NO MY NUKES ARE GONE!"
Having said all that, the devs are also doing it wrong here. Make a decision based on the principle and stick to it. If you think that in principle Nukes and Shivans shouldn't be used as a cheap work around for difficult trials and TF's, then surely the devs should disabled across the board; not single out individual fights. This is just a ridiculous situation where it seems the devs are too afraid to make the right call and balance accordingly and so we are left with these silly exceptions.
You haven't gone against the storm AV yet have you ? Nukes, shivans, pets don't make it easy they make it possible. They also let ATs that aren't the best choice get on teams.
Just a prediction from my very cracked crystal ball here. The only data this change gives the devs will be, If teams get the storm AV they will reset the trial. -

That made me think of the irony of the fact that by the devs not saying we're wrong about it being an exploit because they can't say it IS one, pretty much would mean it is.
I can't say this too often, even if there is an exploit, that lets you finish the trial in one minute from the timer start, you will still come out behind every other thing you can do in the game.
Its just that grueling. -
Yes we did it
Thanks everyone. -
I will be there and will be well equipped. I really want to get the badges before they get around to fixing this again.

It seems to me that if I wanted to test out the difficulty of an encounter like this and datamine how the players handled it, I might want to eliminate a huge balance shifter, such as the warburg nukes, especially if I saw them being used enough that it was affecting my ability to judge how much trouble the players may have against the encounter.
Do angry villagers,carrying torches, frequently storm your home ? -
The same ill bring all the nukes allready have them and all the pets from warwolves and shivans, to longbow and vanguard mechs and everything in between.
Character will be Megaera Fey Archery/Ment/Elec Blaster. -
Quote:This, I really appreciate the freespecs, and transfers but it just takes me a little planning to get good use from them. It seems when I have been able to try and use them something is happening with the servers that stops me.Originally Posted by FallenValkyrja
TWent to use the freespec before losing it again and cannot login at all. DServer or DBServer error. Any chance of just making the recent one stacking so it can actually be used?
Edit: my logging attempts were to Virtue and Freedom -
We tried a run on Protector last night.
The resonators were no problem at all. Having all of their health status displayed meant coordination wasn't a big deal, everyone just had to know the plan.
Rularuu was what stopped us. We were unable to keep him unphased long enough to do any real damage. Our group tried several strategies for dealing with spawns, pulling behind the pillars, pulling to the entrance, rushing them, none got the job done. The best we were able to do is knock a few percent off his health before he went unaffected again. Does anyone have any idea what triggers his unaffected state ? -
What can I say, SOLDIERS ROCK !!!
Thanks to everyone that showed last night for a great run that was incredible fun. -
Happy Birthday !!

Are the events for any VEAT, or just soldiers BLA? The in game MoTD on the protector TF global says "all Soldier ITF". If you mean to include widows, you should change that to all VEAT ITF.
Thank you.
Its all VEAT and the message is updated. -
Happy Birthday and may you enjoy many more

Quote:I think that is either or.Originally Posted by Fulmens
Here are the two things that give me quiet joy:
1) First mission: you get an Alignment Merit and NEGATIVE 20 million inf. It's an inf sink with every new character. If the inf-burning turns out to be a regular thing, which I expect it will, even better!
You can either burn 50 regurlar merits and 20 million for one Alignment merit or you can get one alignment merit through the missions.
You can still be happy, inf will still be burned like never before. -

Mark your calendars and bring out your soldiers
Saturday August 14 8:00 PM EDT is the start of VEAT MADNESS
Protector TFs has scheduled our first all VEAT ITF, and if there is interest we will follow up with strike forces and task forces until no one is left standing.
Meeting place will be by Imperious in Cimerora, first come first served. -
I have too much stored in the markets and not enough places to put it.
What I will do is take screenshots of everything just in case. -

This is why these are only provided to new characters and cannot be sold/traded/stacked. First, you cant have enough of them to 6-slot out any power. Secondly, for a L1 character, that 16% damage/recharge boost is nice, but once you hit L20+, IOs start getting a lot more competitive. The proc rate is low to begin with, and at L21 they wont even kick in anymore. A L50 character could use these enhancements if they chose to, of course.
Thanks Tymers Realm, I had been trying to make up my mind about how to buy the GR expansion, the information about these enhances is the clincher. I'll take the trouble to buy from Gamestop. 16% Rech/16 % damage + Damage proc, is very good and being able to slot it at level 1 is even better. -

So, did anyone buy this and did it go well?
Just did. The code applied to my account and the booster registered after a login/logout. First time I used steam so a little trouble finding the serial code.
