I got 3 sets (and switch my build to get a 5th Purple set) pretty much purely because of the exemping.

In my eyes they are purple-lites, but with the added plus of being much more varied in where you can slot them, and the ability to slot multiples.

I would like to swap Doctored wounds in Dull Pain and Reconstruction for Panaceas, which would be a next 5% gloabl recharge, but even the crazy kitty that I can be looks at the cost/benefit right now and shaesk my head.

6 months time will be a different story, I'll have far more inf and the prices will be down from what they are now.

I'm guessing this kidna goes as one supportign the Bently Syndrome idea.

The GVE pack is affected by +recharge.

So hasten, set bonuses and the like bring it back faster and increase the %uptime.

Which one was that?

The Gladiators armour TP protection/Def


I think some Panacea +regen+recovery have come close to the billion mark as well

In order.
I dont know and a heck no from me.

I refer the OP to the microtransactsions for IO thread for prior discussions.
Selling merits is basically selling IOs

Yeah ignore me. I dropped in 7.8 instead of 12 (the end cost instead of the recharge).

Teach me to be reading this stuff whilst on the phone.

The arcanatime of the other 3 in the chain is 4.224, and base recharge of FU is 7.8 seconds

Strike and focus 1.17 -> arcanatime 1.320.
Slash 1.33 -> 1.584

7.8/(1+0.847)= 4.223

84.7% recharge is the right figure for that 4 attack chain

<edit>
Unless arcanatime is needed in the accounting at the recharge side as well

To get FU (59.09 ticks) down 31 ticks would be 90% recharge (I think)

<edit 2>

Silly Cat was using the wrong number

Activate the GVE jump pack

Serious answer:

Comic Con is July 23-26. I would expect information to be released around that time.

[/seriousness]


I hear that you have to do the name three times, like that famous incantation 'Hickman Hickman Hickman'.

By this very incantation however, I have doomed this thread to be anything but serious from now until the trousers of time are threadbare.

Im a Fan of
FU -Focus - Slash - Strike

Which can be achieved in a gapless manner realtively easily
Using the arcanatime values

Strike needs zero additonal recharge
Slash need 48.5%
Follow-up is the hardest with 84.7%
Focus needs 71.7%


Then
FU Melee damage proc (I use the Neg En from Touch of Death)
Focus has Apocalypse Proc and Explosive Strike
Slash has Heactomb and Lady Grey
Strike has another ToD Proc

2*15% chance for 71.75 (21.525 on average)
2*20% chance for 71.75 (28.7 on average)
2*33% chance for 107 (71.26 on average)

121.49 bonus damage

5.28 Total Arcanatime in the chain, which means FU is typically double stacked.

Just using a single stacked buff its 161 and change for average DPS before allowing for Crits
Add in the double stacked FU and crits, and you break 200 DPS

The general limit on travel powers is the time it takes a packet to get from the server to your screen.

The super speed cap is basically close the the physical limit for a remotely accessed game can achieve.

One piece of feedback, which I already shared with Shard, is that the placement of the AE building makes KR a less than ideal Kronos Spawn point now.

I have an idea which I need to test out a bit before making public.

This requires me running WWR again durnit!

Seriously, this is a nice accolade. Craft enhancements anywhere? Nice! But the requirements are INSANE. It requires something like 40 invention badges, and at minimum 1000 crafts, not to mention a substantial investment of inf. And of those 40-something badges, 36 of them have esoteric requirements that the game doesn't show you progress on properly, so unless you're keeping track by hand you're flying blind. Hardly anyone has this accolade - only the hardcore badgers do.

The requirements need to be scaled back, and HARD. It should be something like 10 Invention badges - any 10. The badges for crafting certain categories of common IOs should no longer require both levels ending in 0 and 5 for credit; either should count, and the needs for those actual badges should be reduced. Furthermore, Uncommon, Rare, and Ultra-Rare IOs should count for the categorical badges. A level 29 Acc/Dam/Rech enhancement should count towards the badge for each the Accuracy, Damage, and Recharge badges for level 20-29.

Failing that, make all the invention badges and the progress tracking account-wide.

If getting field crafter COSTS you inf, you are basically doing it wrong. (or doing it purely for getting it quickly in which case you have chosen the most costly route)
My last field crafter was about 200 million plus when she got it.

based on your faulty premise, I dont see the need for any of your suggestions.

and don't forget that the 25-30 teir badges come with their very own nifty bonus.

Levelling pacts from the NCsoft knowledge base

Levelling pact on the wiki

Both places have it clear that an account going inactive breaks the pact.

I wish the op luck with support, but doubt there is anything they can do.

Does he self-publish? What academic journal even looks at his "research"?


[/ QUOTE ]

The three 'papers' I have seen, are 2 conference proceedings (which in my field are usually non-peer reviewed) and a self-published internet one.

Smoke Grenade: It's okay, but with cloaking device in the set already, the -perception isn't really needed that much, and the to-hit debuff is very minor.

Cloaking Device: Another okay power. The stealth makes it easier to set up trip mines and the like, and to stealth missions, but it doesn't do much in combat.

these two combined however give you full invisibility if there is a spawn just where you dont want them to be

INTERESTING FACT: The whole using an oil slick to rez with howling twilight was made popular when BABs was observing testing of the revised hamidon and the raid TPed all the corpses behind a rocked and used the combo to rez the entire raid in one go. BABs was so shocked that he crapped himself so hard that he ripped the space time continuum opening a portal back to the Rikti world and causing Ouroboros to exist.

I remember that.
Its a perfect (non-exploitative) example of how players can push limits and find things far faster than the Dev team can.

While I may tend to agree it is still only anecdotal and speculation with no way of verification.

It goes directly against the request up thread, as it can easily be seen as a personal attack.

Being part of a single mission that involved five characters hitting the level cap. Remember that one, Cat?

How can I forget ?

/rad whilst thematic is certianly a little overkill on defense defbuffing, but any of the three are pretty fun combinations.

Do you mean the Ship raid event held in the RWZ, or do you mean the Rikti raids where they bomb city zones then port their troops in ?

I hinted to an SG mate who is interested in bidding that Doc Q should be done.

FYI, when I need to find something in the patch notes, I search it on ParagonWiki.

same here.

GMs depending upon the time of day could be based in any of the main NC locations aroudn the world. (US, Europe, Korea).

All the GMs can be called into any of the NCsoft games.

You may just have gotten for example a predominantly Lineage GM from the Seoul office.

Even as recently as the last couple of weeks I had non-urgent issues (basically bug reports) dealt with 'out of game' by names I was familiar with (there was one new-one I hadn't seen before).

On the one occasion thye both died, TricklLaid down an Oil Slick to ignite a burn the corpses for good, but Dark used it to rez them both.

It was stunning
