Quote:The Chnage to Numina references was the final mission being a a wide 'troll' style cave rather than a blue cave, and this went in a few issues ago, not as part of I16.Originally Posted by BackAlleyBrawler
Bit busy today, so no time to read through the whole thread right now, but I saw mention of changes to Numina? Are there other missions/maps in I16 that seem to have changed without a patch note? If so, could you guys put together a list and I'll make sure it gets into the hands of the right people.
Hess TF is being fixed, and the issue with Amy in the KH TF has been logged as a bug.
To me it seemed logical, deliberate and planned. Soemthing the size of Jurassik in a blue cave was always an oddity. -

You still need to meet the minimum number required.

Quote:Issue 10 New content was 4 coop story arcs, 1 TF and the RWZ raidOriginally Posted by MasterJediJared
Unfortunately I am pretty unimpressed. All this effort on what was essentially features is pretty weak. Don't get me wrong, these are still cool features but this game really needs more content more regularly. The last major content infusion was issue 10.
TL;DR: Issue 16 is meh and way too little. Wish we'd get more REAL content Soon (tm).
I11 (4 arc/TFs for each side the Oro-contacts, 3 very similar red/blue and 1 unique to each side)
I12 Had 3 new story arcs (2 Red 1 Blue) and a similar but different mini-arc (Origin of Power) for each side, plus the ITF
Issue 13 had 5 Heroic arcs (3 Mercedes Sheldon 2 Daedalus) and 3 Villanous ones (1 Mercedes Sheldon and 2 Sister Arlia)
Issue 13 was certainly comparable to Issue 10 in Story based content addition.
I14 15 and 16 were certainly a low point in new Dev created Story arcs and TFs, but that drought doesn't go as far back as I10 without really stretching the content definition. -

As an aside Nem, I should have enough merits stashed on my brute by the weekend to pick one up for you.

Quote:This but with one additional point. It also leaves the door open for additional higher tier enhancements which dont lose the set bonuses.Originally Posted by Sailboat
Choice.
If 50 gave the best enhancement value (which it does) AND you kept all your set bonuses when exemplared, 50 would be the best IO level hands-down and everything else would be second-best.
But if you have to CHOOSE between top-flight enhancement percentages and utility when exemplared, well, for some people who want to exemplar a lot, those lower-level IOs start to look a lot better. They canchoose a slight;y lower percentage in some areas to get more flexibility. That makes these IOs viable options.
More options for a variety of different interests = a better game.
So far Purples and the PVP IOs have this. Maybe in the future there will be an additional class of PVE IOs that does. -
Quote:Check the crafting table. Common recipe are available at a fixed rateOriginally Posted by Donna_
Have a vendor that sells all the IO's at a fixed rate,
Ta-da
Sets however should remain earnable through player actions IMHO.
If the Devs wanted a store they would have put one in up front, they want a time/inf-sink and mini-game related to the market and non-level character progression. -
Given that the main reason stated for this was the problem with server stability/lost packets on the East Coast.
That 'fix' (by a 3rd party host) worked for a while, broke again, then is working again as of this weekend.
I would hope that the folks in charge are being doubly sure that the issue will not raise its ugly head again before scheduling it. -
Quote:In terms of absolute +regen, no way.Originally Posted by cold_scare
I heard at one point that with proper IO slotting, you can get regen to work almost as good as it did prior to the regen nerf. One person event went so far as to say you can get regen rates almost as good as they were in i2. Can anyone confirm if this is in fact true though?
In terms of overall survivability, then yes you can do some crazy things with regen by getting up soft capped defence, or massive +recharge -

So, say you have a badge mission since you brought him up we'll use Frostfire as an example. The team is halfway through the mission when suddenly a transformer blows, your power goes out, and you are unable to log back in for hours. The team goes on to finish your mission they get the badge and you don't. That doesn't seem fair either does it? There has to be some common ground that we can meet on. Maybe there is a way to implement this in some form and maybe there isn't. I don't know. One thing I do know is that in the case that I was involved in if those guys had just used some common courtesy we wouldn't be discussing this now.
Except that the mission owner ALWAYS gets the badge.
A trick somepoeple used pre-flashback. Create a character get the fortune teller mission. Invite a fried and have the step in the mission. Log off, log on highbie who missed the badge. Run mission
Both the highbie and the logged off misson owner (plus the friend(s)) get the badge. -
A squeeze of lemon with that ebiltea ?

1. Nothing definite has ever been stated one way or the other
2. In my mind success. With people 'farming arenas' for this and the large transaction costs they tackle inflation in a dual amanner by reducing the inf inflow and taking a decent cut out at the end.
Or if you mean in terms of creating viable rewards for active PvP, failure. The drop rates are so low as to strongly encourage 'farming' over real PvP. Like the drop rates on Purples encouraged one sort of behaviour, this did the exact same. -
Quote:This exactly. A combination of pay for and occasional resetsOriginally Posted by Kitsune Knight
I think that'd be a good idea, along with occasionally resetting everyone's flag to show them as having a global name change available (once a year should be often enough).

The effect of I16 has been to give me far more purples drops.
4 now since the issue dropped, and I have been actively fighting mobs capable of such things for only a fraction of my playing time.
Random numbers are random and I'm liking this streak. -
Quote:I presume its the vowels you are having difficulty with ?Originally Posted by EU_Damz
49 level 50s . . . . all those purples . . . . . . REALLY think you needed to leave the game for a bit just to see what the sun looks like!

Quote:No it doesn't. I have a shield tank at 50, who is purely common IOs (level 25-35) which is is eqivalent to SO slotting. (but cheaper over the levelling career)Originally Posted by McCharraigin
Case in point....real life example here, I would love to make a Shield scrapper...I happily went to the scrapper boards to do some homework on the subject, and found out Shields demands IOs...it will not perform well without them
My wife has a shield scrapper at 50, with the same. As an aside these were our irst two level pacted characters that we took from 1 to 50.
Shield performs perfectly fine in any setting with just SO slotting.
If you want an SO only shield build ask for that, and people will oblige. The reason most builds on the forums are IOs are because that is what people ask for advice on.
Really these days who needs to be told that SO slotting for typical attacks is 1-2 acc, 3 damage 0-1 endrec 0-1 recharge ?
Resist toggles 1 endrec 3 damres
Defence toggles 1 endrec 3 defbuff
I mean really who needs to ask that ? -

Quote:Rewards
Characters must be level 35 or greater to earn Vanguard Merits.
Merit Rewards Merits awarded per task are receiving another update. The formula used to calculate the number of merits for Story Arcs has been changed from granting 40% of normal merits to 60% of normal merits. In short, many story arc tasks received a significant boost in merits awarded. Another notable item is that Villain Patron arcs now give 10 merits per arc instead of 5. Below is a list of story arcs that had their values changed. Arcs not listed didn't have their merits change:

Quote:*digs out my economy worksheet*Originally Posted by Vestulance
As for gameplay,with the market at its current standing..you could spend a whole toons lvling to 50 and still not afford the basic sets (oranges or travel i/o's and some of the nice bonus sets that are yellow).Standard i/o's are great..but quite a few need updating severly
Please note the numbers that follow DO NOT account for the I16 low level buff to XP earning.
Level from 1 to 50 solo and versus even cons.
You would expect 1321 recipe drops
OF which 258 would be uncommon Sets and 32 rare
During which you earn 27.4 million inf from mob defeats
Taking into the 30-50 levelling only
966 recipe drops
189 uncommon
24 rare
and earn 26.6 million inf from mob defeats
This is more than enough to fit out a character in general terms, if only there was a way, that maybe you could sell the set IOs you dont want, and using the inf generated buy set IOs that you want, but dropped for someone else.
Obviously teaming and fighitng higher cons boosts the XP/drop ratio and reduces these numbers.
How standard (common) IOs are in need updating, you have lost me there. -

They did indeed bump up the low level rewards again in I16.
If you want to know why a auto bump to 20 vet award is a bad idea, do a search on how the Devs of DAOC view that in hindisght for their game. -

It seems a lot of people have trouble listening to their own voice in recordings.
I hated the sound of my voice, and the really broad Geordie accent. These days the accent is somewhat less broad, but I still dont like hearing my voice recorded. Its just so different to how I hear it.
