I actually crash/lag terribly from SS characters being in my group or in the enemy group. I don't know if it's related to the power effect sounds, massive group knockbacks, or the animation itself. My .pigg files are not corrupted, because I've redownloaded them seperately multiple times to test the theory.

Global Recharge affects Secondary Mutation, unless that icon just likes to fill and get clicked, removing my old effect minutes before the previous goes away on its own.

Quote:Quite true, the closest I can reach is 176-180% on my Night Widow with Elude, no Weave, and no PvP +3% defense. Perhaps stacking more defense IOs and the introduction of an alpha slot would increase it to near hard-cap limits (200%? or is it 210%?), but it's not obtainable without a direct focus on defense and a lack of recharge and damage.Originally Posted by Come Undone
2. Well there is a hard limit for each AT, but it is far, far past the softcap and impossible to reach without external buffs/purples inps.
But to your implies question, yeah, it makes def more important for some ATs over others
Having all VEAT SF/TFs always made this fun, because you would be well over the hardcap with 220% or more at ALL times.
I'd have to agree that Resistance is much less effective than Defense from an RNG point of view even. When I would hard-cap S/L resitance and fight, say, Battle Maiden warriors, I would die much faster than my character with perma-60(ish)%defense. That is, when I fight the map completely solo on the same difficulty. -

Weird...you might want to bug that b/c when Thunderhead leaked on the live servers my Bane was able to access it.
Irritates me a little though, since I have the Origins pack from Twitter code, and I can't access the special auras with just that costume. -
Quote:I'd suggest going to the NCSoft support page. The developers here can't help you, especially since a few have PMs turned off.Originally Posted by Polypro Ninja
So it's been about 2 weeks now and I'm still experiencing problems with the NCsoft store. I can't buy anything at all. Do they plan on fixing this any time soon or leave it as is?
I've sent private messages to two different admins and have gotten no response in the week spent since I've sent them and apparently the thread made for this issue has been completely abandoned.
P.S. - If NCsoft doesn't want my money, they can kindly let me know and I'll spend it elsewhere. I mean, I'm pretty sure I would LIKE to spend it on something I want and would like to have... -
Is the pack not supposed to affect VEAT costumes? On the live servers, all my VEATs' other costumes and new characters can access the aura, but the Arachnos costume has no such luck. I was really hoping to get my pink Tarot Card aura from my main costume onto my Night Widow outfit.

Quote:I can't because of the Arcanatime and lag on my Widow. It's very annoying.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
my dark melee brute if he times his attack chain right, will be able to kill the fake nem either before they hit PFF or shortly after with DoT from gloom
I need to change my attack chain and reslot somewhat anyways, since I can't seem to take down the Pylons in the scrapper challenge, only tank them. -
Quote:It's also explained through the VEAT arcs that your trick the system to become a "Destined One", which is why you become a Patron's apprentice in the first place.Originally Posted by Tidbit Jr.
The thing is, the Patron powers are explained during the Patron arc itself. You gained the power to summon sharks by taking the power of the Leviathan.
The heroside pools assume you are mastering powers you already have.
EDIT: I'm not against the idea of VEATs having access to the ancillary pools, especially the awesome mini-Health-Stamina that is Body/Energy Mastery, but the others in this thread have already supplied the reason that the VEATs do not have it. -
I should make an Ill/Rad to start playing on Infinity again. My Ill/Emp grew stale, and I transferred all my fun characters over to Freedom.
I used to do Hami runs a lot pre-i9 on my Storm/Dark Defender, Shadow of Spawn.
As for the OP, just hit up the SG recruitment and Infinity forums. They're around here somewhere. -
Assuming Illusion Army wouldn't affect the heal, if you can pull Rom around the corner slightly with the Army tanking fluffies, you would be fine.
Another option is to have the Army tanking fluffies, and instead of focusing on Rom, you kill them first. It's entirely possible and was the previous method to fighting Romulus with a group. -
I still have a Elec/WP Brute made for running the Cap SF. I'm not entirely sure it'd be viable against an AV that won't fight another AV though.

Quote:Ehh, I usually take down a Warhulk and Gunslinger in 4 hits, so I hardly notice them. Fake Nems on the other hand take about 5-6, because I always manage to fail the chain as it hits PFF. The DoT takes 'em down a little though.Originally Posted by Tyger42
Not as much as I hate the gunslinger's ability to auto-hit.
And the Warhulk's generally more severe damage output. -
My badge hunter is my Arachnos Widow. I refer to it by the AT name, because when I face EBs, AVs, and etc. solo, I can finish them pretty quickly with a chain of Placates and Slashes. On the other hand, if I'm in a group for MoSTF or some such, I can play Night Widow, but I'd prefer Fortunata, since I can stay out of PBAoE range.
Only thing is, you'll have to wait for i19 for Praetoria to open up for those extra badges. -
Quote:As a blaster, you should be surviveable as is, if you know how to play a ranged class.Originally Posted by Master_Martial
I miscalculated the first set of numbers, base average dpm is 23k. not accounting for resists and such, forgot that cooldowns follow cast times, not cast initiation.
slotting for defense would make the character more sturdy but doing so removes alot of recharge, so I can slot for either perma hasten, and fastest dps.. or slower, and more survivablity -
Quote:Depends on how much you hate PFF and an enemy with defensive powers, compared to the other two's lack of non-inherent defensive abilities.Originally Posted by Tyger42
Which is kinda odd because the Warhulks and Gunslingers are more of a pain than the fake Nemmies...
Plus, it's all a Nemisis Plot. -
Quote:Back in the day, i8 or so (not during Halloween), I would get an error message stating that I could not get anymore more temporary powers. That may have however, been linked to the specific power, or a previous cap. That has since then lead me to be too paranoid to keep more than a tray of temporary powers.Originally Posted by Ironblade
How do you know your temporary power list was full? Was there some sort of error message? Last year, I had at least 60 temp powers and then got every costume, of which I think there were 35. This year, I have over 80 temps to start, but have only done a little ToT'ing and have only received 10 or 11 costumes so far.

Quote:It's true. I was just being an ***, because PvP isn't what I'd like it to be on this game, and I'm hoping the Developers actually read these forums, since the PvP forum is obviously a asylum for players who have sick thoughts about hurting each other.Originally Posted by macskull

Quote:Isn't there a limit on temporary powers? I'm inclined to think that most of you have passed that cap, because the only time I didn't recieve the costume, but got credit was when I had a full temporary power list. From one hour of ToT'n, I got at least 18 costumes in PI.Originally Posted by rsclark
The costumes never showed up on the power trays for me. I had to click on the word "power" and scroll down the list and drag them to the power bars.
The guy I was teamed with got nothing - I don't know if that was because of the horrible lag he was getting, or because I was doing all the knocking and he was standing back and blasting. It may just be that the knocker gets the treats (although he was getting the statesman masks and things.)
If that is the case, just right click the costume and delete the power.
Also, the Comic-Con Freakshow Boss Costume counts towards Clothes Horse apparently. -
Quote:Not be be completely rude, but if you haven't noticed, most Widow powers for both subclasses, will put your near the Widow hard-cap resist of 85% Psi without any real slotting (In PvE), in addition to the PvP resist buff, you'll have around 50-60% with just an Aegis, if I remember correctly.Originally Posted by Artic_Chill_44
Does any1 have a good pvp build for a fort?
something with over 1500HP, and good def and some good resist to psionic would be nice
if any1 has something like this pls post it in this thread for me 2 look @ ty.
As for the HP, slotting my single-targets + Wail build with purples and etc. has me at 1337.3 HP with accolades. Although I'm only lacking a few of the sets I need, I'll figure my HP will be only 1360. There's no real reason to go for HP in current PvP with all the Phase Shifting Hibernoobing Regins, because your just going to have to pick up the FoTM too. -
Quote:Dark Obliteration + Gloom on a Widow is perfect for soloing TFs. Still working on my build, but with a little under half my necessary purples and non of my LoTGs, this Fort build is working...Originally Posted by UberGuy
Uhh. You do realize they buffed the hell out of most of the pools when they gave them a 5th power, right? I haven't seen people griping about PPPs since then. There are way better powers than the Mu Guardian nowadays.
As for my Night Widow build, no PPPs. Just say no, when you have 60%+ defense at all times and a full attack chain to boot. -

Quote:But we, in the real world, are neither capable of "total" control of our bodies to reform our shapes nor capable of making kinetic energy to create a fire without an external tool. Though I'm not discussing some of the psychic "tests", which have possibly inconclusive evidence that we are capable of causing or removing the kinetic energy of a molecule. (Quantum mechanics) The idea of a Firestarter is pretty cool though, and although I'm not usually an RPer, that would be a good backstory behind a Fire/Psi Blaster or the likes.Originally Posted by Gilia
All that aside, there's nothing to suggest that Kheldians or any other AT have more control over the energy they produce than they already do. Here in the real world, people produce a lot of heat energy that's just released into the air. It's not like we could decide to redirect that heat in a new way to voluntarily set fire to objects. There's no reason to think Kheldians could reform the energy they produce now in a different manner.
Quote:Originally Posted by Jade_Dragon
The CoH terminology categorizes Energy and Negative Energy as energy effects, while Fire and Cold are elemental effects. You do not heat something up with Fire, you cause it to begin combusting, which is why Fire does DoT. A chemical reaction starts which is independent of the energy put into it.
I'd have to agree with both of you though, if I were to consider the game mechanics my point would be nulled. While I don't always agree with the developers changes in real world scenarios, I also understand that players don't want to suffocate or drown, because of real world mechanics. -
Quote:Soloing and playing 2-3 hours a day, you could be getting about a level or two every 1-3 days.Originally Posted by Angelxman81
I got rush because I will have less time to play due to work in next year.
Im also a 40 month vet player and I came back with GR. I know the game and I also have 5 50s but I got bored of them.
So I want the brute and the scrapper to be 50 because I enjoy more melee characters.
Is just I only catch short running teams, very casual or not team at all.
Normally I wouldn't advocate AE, but you can solo farm missions with your Brute and probably your Scrapper. -
Quote:Peacebringers should get APPs and not the Patrons, so they can be the opposite of VEATs.Originally Posted by Gilia
That's kind of an interesting theory... Physical Perfection would be boss on a VEAT, and Fireball with their ranged modifier might be over kill. However, Ball Lightning is almost as good and that pool has two other AoEs, so perhaps not.
There's also a heavily implied "source" of power for all the EATs. This is why their origins are forced. For HEATs, the bonding with a Kheldian is the source of power. Since the Kheldian can't shoot fire, make ice storms, etc, they can't access epics. For VEATS the source is Arachnos training, so it makes sense that they can be trained/empowered by Arachnos officials. Again, they can't shoot fire, etc.
It would be neat if the game at some point employed a wider array of possibilities. Like a Kheldian bonding with an already super being, or Arachnos putting a mutant whose latent powers haven't manifested yet into the Widow program. This would probably result in inspired powersets for other ATs though, rather than a change to the EATs. Of course, as it is you could make a Radiation Blaster and color the powers white and call it a special sort of Peace Bringer.
The 10 original ATs are all completely open ended. You can mix and match primaries and secondaries to your heart's content, with or without explanation. Your origin is not enforced, and so on. Since there's no restriction on "where your power come from," the epics are wide open.
Remember that VEATs have the largest base of powers to choose from as it is. That's the price you pay (i.e. balance) for restricted power sets.
Saying "For HEATs, the bonding with a Kheldian is the source of power. Since the Kheldian can't shoot fire, make ice storms, etc, they can't access epics." answered exactly WHY you should be able to.
Kheldians are pure ENERGY beings. Kinetic energy being the force behind Hot and Cold, since molecules need energy to move or a lack there of to freeze. Energy is the driving force behind Electricity due to Electrons. You see what I'm getting at?
Cold is essentially the lack of energy, which is why I could consider just that being unaccessible to the HEATs.
