  1. In the days before the FEMA mission was a walkout I ran it under 60 mins once.

    Since then I tend to hit about 1:30, on a highbie damage dealer when it is set for 2 mainly because the character I tend to you has fly not super speed and travel time adds up.
  2. There was a domain renewal issue a little while back which caused a glitch.

    make sure you are using the faces.cohtitan.com address, which I literally just checked and got there.

    If you still can't I'd suggest a DNS cache flush.
  3. There has never been a Dev comment about this to my knowledge.

    Outside of offensive and/or IP issues I have not known of a change occurring.
  4. Example
    Acc/Dam Level 5O IO (the 53s do not exist) thats 26.5% to each
    Acc/Dam Level 50 HO that is a straight 33.3% to each
    Acc/Dam level 50++ 36.67% to each
    Acc/Dam level 53 HO (they do exist but are very rare) is 38.33 % to each

    Outside of that simple answer may I refer you to this thread for examples and discussion

    City Scoop?

    "Eventually", once they adopt the formats to the new boards was the word.

  7. Well, the servers did just go down so...

    You can go through the support site and send an out of game petition.

    I recently did that when my 60 month badge didn't award

    Sounds like a bug.

    The level slider should not affect the level of a TF right now.

    Make sure to petition with a date, time server and character details.

    Each person on the team will have to open their own tickets about it, but it may be better if they wait unttil the first person hears back from support to avoid clogging up the system.
  10. The fact that hoarding goes on, and yes I do it as well, makes the market worse for all than it would be otherwise, encouraging further hoarding.

    The viscious cycle then continues.

    At 50 the Black market is slow, but usually there is enough supply that you can get what you want.

    Sub 50 the Black market is a barren wasteland, that I generally have given up on for anything but salvage trading and selling my crafted common IOs.

    As for the population discussion:
    The reason the markets are cross server is that its pretty clear some servers wouldn't have a viable population. (Especially the EU ones)

    Right now the level has no effect on any TFs.

    Going forward I would be expecting that they have a +0 minimum.
  12. I have one character with purples slotted - Catwhoorg (claws/regen).

    The +recharge was my main build aim with them, though the procs really help up his DPS due to the fast animation and recharge of the claws powers.

    He also has quite a few PVP IO sets which also stay active when exemping, in fact once I finish out his build (Im about a billion inf from doing so) every set bonus he has will be active from 1 to 50. Making him a very powerful character when exemped.

    And I exemp a lot, on TFs and Flashbacks.
  13. Using dropstats and just running since the last patch, I am seeing normal drops in terms of percentage per mobs.

    The expected 32:8:1 (Common:uncommon:rare) is close to what I have seen for common/uncommon ratio and I'm above the expectation in rares.

    I know, right!
    Can you say 'Negotiator'? I knew you could.
    Just like 'breaking knives', it really was just out of whack for whatever datamined reason.

    It didn't need a spotlight on it, and if you ask me they should never have gone live with the wards they had.

    Before adjustments are locked in a critical look at the arc should be happening. Maybe it does happen now, but it clearly didn't initially.

    The same can be held true for a single side at different times.

    I don't know for if the patient to BUY IT NAO fluctuation on any item is smaller or larger than the difference between 'on average' red and blue.
    Alternatively examine the differential between recipe + ingredients and crafted IO. There is a huge markup within a side for laziness.

    My suspicion is that on many items it is larger.

    Check your SO venders, the invention tables, the contacts.

    1 Influence = 1 Infamy at all of those places.

    1 Inf (either) today doesn't necessarily equal 1 inf tomorrow on the markets.

    Besides the 'natural' daily and weekly variations, the shake out from the Halloween event will take at least 1-2 weeks before the market is again 'stable', just in time for the Winter event to shake it up again.
  17. Yes Posi lets you you the power taken at 20

    Performace shifter is a proc, so if you have the power available it will work, barring some odd bug.

    Animations

    It is possible by sending them a PM.

    It is unlikely you will get anything but player (uninformed) thoughts and responses here.
  19. Or play with any* controller/Dom with their AOE immobilise power.
    Problem goes *poof* into the winds

    Your 1 thing?

    Offline SG invites and promotion/demotion.
  21. Concur with the 'Speed' Posi for merits, especially if you have a 2nd account thatsis the logged off person.

    I dotn even necessarily try to really speed them, but they go fast set for 2 even with a character in the 20s. I tend to do them over the course of a couple of nights, before the time teaming picks up in my coalition.

    In terms of flashbacks, I really just pick one and run it, I haven't found a huge outlier since the rebalancing.

    'To save a thousand worlds' probably close to the best merit/time due to the large number of glowie missions, but it has its share of defeat alls on large maps as well, no its not one for a non-damage dealer and speed.

    The one I most often is probably Wincott, all in one zone, lowbie friendly and decent retrun for a quick hunt and 2 defeat alls.
  22. Teamsize 3*
    Bosses- yes (obviously)
    level -1

    The hard part here is that different groups have different spawn rules. I have been running a lot of preatorian missions recent, and team size 3 gets me bosses about every 3rd group. Team size 4-5 doesn't boost that rate much

    Lost/Rikti will spawn bosses, with a teamsize of 2.
    Council will rarely spawn bosses even at a team size of 6.

    I have no experience with the new slider and igneous speciifcally, so try 3 and see whats happens.
  23. My Cold/Psi is going to be running an ITF soon, which will be her first.

    I know that benumb is especially useful in the final fight.

    I think that I would hit Rommy with it, as the -heal affects heals on him, or should I hit the healing nictus with it ?

    Thanks
