I guess throwing a fit and ragequitting game is the only option left to you then.

If you're THIS pissed about it, why waste your time on it anymore?

You clearly feel the devs have destroyed the entire game in one issue. The only logical course of action left for you is to stop giving them your money.

Or you can keep paying for something you seem to hate now and make a donkey of yourself on the forums.

Or, you can wait until after the first freaking day of the new stuff when people might have figured out how this thing works and try it again.

Guess we found the game killer here. Make something that is difficult enough that people can't blindly button mash through it, and you'll have droves of people rage-quitting because their easy mode got taken away.

That's old hat now.

This is the NEW too hard/badly designed/impossible to beat thing that everyone is going to rage against.

Just like Apex and Tin Mage were the too hard/badly designed/impossible to beat thing from LAST issue.

Keep up with the times man! You can't go bringing up things from the past that seem absurd now just to point out how everyone is jumping to conclusions, because they are RIGHT, dammit! And they will throw every argument in the book at you to prove it, whether that argument makes any sense or not.

It's going to be highly amusing 6 months to a year from now when I dig up some of these threads to point out how hard everyone thought these things were. And everyone's going to tell me how easy the trials are and how hard the NEW thing is compared to it.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.

Never mind. Clearly this is different than all the other things that were declared impossible, too hard, or badly designed. Never mind that when all those things were released they were different than the previous too hard/badly designed thing too.

Carry on with the doomrage. Don't try and figure out the new tactics that will work with the new stuff, because we should be able to use the exact same tactics for everything. Anything else is bad design.

Silly me for not seeing how incredibly logical that is.

Since when are AE farms "The game"?

AE farms are an aberration that was never intended to exist in the game, it is not even CLOSE to being "the game".

Play your Controller like a Controller and not like a mobile damage aura and maybe you'll have better luck.

It falls to you to adapt to how the game changes over the years. Expecting the game to adapt to your preferred way of playing is (for lack of a better description) bat guano stupid.

Good luck.

You can't buy one for any less than 2 billion influence, and since there are so many bids placed and so few that actually hit the market you will be waiting for a LONG time even after you build up the influence.

You have 2 options to get one within the next couple months:

A) Find one OFF the market you can buy from someone (this will cost you MORE than 2 billion, in all likelyhood). Your odds of finding one you can afford are probably pretty slim if you haven't already been farming influence or playing the market.

B) Run Tip missions and hoard your Alignment merits. You can buy one direct from the A merit box in Fort Trident/The Crucible. It will cost you a crap ton (30 or more A merits) but it's guaranteed to get you what you want.

In my opinion, 3% additional defense is not worth going through all that crap to get, but if it's worth it to you there are ways you can get it. That particular IO is kind of like having a solid gold toilet in your house, doesn't really do much but give you bragging rights for having it.

Can you imagine the fallout if they did a double XP weekend with zero warning whatsoever?

Thousands of people who don't normally play on the weekends for whatever reason would be raging up a storm that they missed out on a double XP weekend because there was no advance warning to tell them about it.

You thought people were annoyed about the Halloween event? Make them miss double XP and see what happens on the forums. There's a reason they announce double XP weekends at least 3-4 weeks in advance: to prevent the raging of customers who missed it because they didn't receive enough advance warning about it.

It's the original animation for Swipe, and it's STILL the animation for Barb Swipe in the Spines set.

And I'd really rather that not end up back in the set. It is one of the most bat guano stupid looking animations in the game and I breathed a sigh of relief when Claws saw the end of it.

I disagree.

Rad has no real means of keeping things within range of that -tohit toggle. If somethig runs out of range and fires a mez at you, there go all your toggles. Sure, defense will help, but there's always a chance to be hit, which always seems to happen at the worst possible time.

Siren's Song is basically just another layer of mitigation. If they're sleeping, they aren't attacking, if they aren't attacking the chance of being mezzed is 0%, if the chance of being mezzed is 0% your chances of survival increases.

Siren's Song on top of everything Rad is already good at is just icing on the cake.

Not saying anyone is wrong for not finding something fun.

I'm just saying, the devs screwed up and acknowledged it, so they did something they thought would be nice as a form of apology.

And people got bent out of shape that they had the audacity to apologize for something.

If they hadn't fixed it, or left the extra long downtime unaddressed, people would have been pissed about that too.

I guess they just can't win.

It works beautifully. I've been doing that with my Sonic/Devices blaster for several years now.

That's the only server status page I've ever seen. I assumed they were the same for both NA and EU servers.

They should be the same for both, and I imagine they probably will be after the server list merge.

As per Castle's response when I PMed him with a somewhat similar idea:

It's possible to do, but it eats up so many CPU cycles that it would make everyone around you lag while the CPU resolves what's happening while you're being attacked. And thus is not something they would allow a player character to have.

Not semantics so much as we use different words for the same thing.

What some here have termed "respect", I call "common courtesy". Which is the general behavior of treating people with courtesy, politeness and consideration.

Respect, to me, is something different. Respect, to me, entails something else. It's a little harder to explain, but Memphis Bill came pretty close on it.

I will ask Werner, Iggy Kamakaze, or a few other people for advice on building a scrapper, because they have proven over the years that they are knowledgeable about such things, and have thus earned my respect.

However, I will not ask some random player in the game for advice on building said scrapper, because I have no way of knowing if they have any clue about what they are talking about. Thus they have NOT earned my respect.

That make more sense?

Large scale zombie invasions are part of the Halloween event.
