If you guys go with a global channel, I'd love an invite to it. My two accounts' Globals are "ericnelson" and "ericnelson2" (I know, very imaginative
). I've really been enjoying following the MLC-related chatter in TheMarket.
I haven't had a chance yet to transfer over my 33 Dark/Dark Scrapper yet and get producing, but I will soon hopefully. -

Quote:I'd have to agree with Chad and Mylia about this -- thematically/canon-wise, those suggestions don't make a lot of sense. And as far as access to Rularuu goes, you might as well just request the Shadow Shard be made co-op, because as unlikely as it is, it makes a lot more sense doing THAT than adding them outdoors in a "normal" zone.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
There is no reason to put them, Trolls, Warriors or especially Rularuu in any of the existing Rogue Isles zones. In fact, the Trolls probably shouldn't even be featured in paper missions, given that they're not in the zones themselves and have no reason whatsoever to be in the Rogue Isles in the first place.
"Because I want it" has never been a valid argument. -
Congrats, Spatch!

And hey, did someone say there was a tailor in the Vanguard base? I didn't know that!
And don't forget Trina the Body Sculptress nestled within the Tiki Room of PD as well. I've run into a ton of long-time players who weren't aware that she was hidden all the way back up there.Quote:Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
Another thing (sorry if I'm dragging this OT again), WarWitch in Pocket D is a trainer as well, since i13. Even long-time vets I've played with recently were stunned to learn this.

Welcome to the game and forums, Maniaxe!
I'll also add that this is intentional by the devs, and not an oversight (at least going by what they've said). Their philosophy is that we are meant to use or trade/sell our items and to not hoard them; hence the relatively limited space for recipe storage.
Oh, and by the way, another way to store them is to craft some of them into enhancements -- then you will have 10 more slots to hold them (locally on your toon) as well as any possible base enhancement storage you might have access to (although be aware that anything you deposit into base enhancement storage then belongs to the BASE, and can be removed with anyone in that SG/VG with sufficient authority to access that storage container). -
Quote:I'm confused as to why people keep bringing this fact up -- I hope it's not to somehow support the idea of Praetoria being "one big zone" (I'm pretty sure you don't think that, konshu, based on your post, but I see this point come up quite often).Originally Posted by konshu
Praetoria, I believe, won't have war walls, because they have not been attacked by the Rikti.
Just because there aren't War Walls doesn't mean there won't be zones. There will be, this we know for sure (pretty sure it was stated as such in one of the Hero Con presentations). The question, of course, is how many/how large/what levels/how much content/etc. -
Guys, that's why I was careful to say "As far as I'm concerned" in my post. Sure, as far as you're concerned there are many reasons to take Maneuvers, nothing wrong with that. Just not as far as *I* am concerned.

Quote:Nope, it's entirely true.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
This is not entirely true.
The trick is starting the first mission. Once you are in the first mission, the other members can quit/be kicked and the TF is still able to be completed. As M-B and Ironblade also pointed out, when it happens is immaterial; at any time that the entire team (including logged out toons) contains only one member, then that TF/SF is immediately disbanded (with the aforementioned Ouroboros TF/SF exception).

Quote:Don't think that Maneuvers is the only power I take from the set. Since Ironblade was referring specifically to that power, it's the only one I commented on.Originally Posted by Dispari
For the 1-2 toons I've taken throw-away powers for (Doms) for the purpose of throwing an IO in, I took stealth instead. Stealth and Grant Invis could at least feasibly be used in some situations, while I'd never use unslotted Maneuvers. Plus that pool has 3 powers you could put DEF stuff into.
When I choose the Leadership pool, I take Maneuvers, Tactics and (one of my favorite powers of all time) Vengeance. Both Maneuvers and Vengeance can hold a LotG +Recharge IO, and between that and the incredible usefulness of Vengeance, I'm never dissatisfied.
-
Quote:Oh yeah, I commonly do this with nearly all my toons. As far as I'm concerned, it's the only valid reason to take a weak power like Maneuvers (I don't even put the icon in my powertray).Originally Posted by Ironblade
I have a fire/kin farmer who took Maneuvers with the intention of never turning it on. It's just there to hold an extra Luck of the Gambler +recharge.

Quote:No, M-B, this took place well before the current difficulty settings, IIRC.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Was that under the "-1" difficulty? If so, I'm not sure I would count that.
I'm not saying it's not a great accomplishment, but since you can't "-1" a TF anymore, you can't really use those as evidence of it still being possible. -
In the interest of completeness, too, I just wanted to point out to anyone who doesn't know, that (aside from the Ouroboros "TFs" [which aren't truly TFs]) technically there AREN'T any TFs that can be soloed -- as soon as only one character is in a TF, it auto-disbands. So "soloing" a TF is actually doing it alone, spawned for at least two (one logged out).
Just wanted to point that technicality out.

Also, in the pursuit of maximum efficiency, I tried *ONCE* to earn every challenge badge for a level range at the same time. Enemies buffed, player debuffed, no enhancements, no inspirations, no temp powers, no travel powers. Not fun.

Quote:I agree completely. I think they're trying to knock everyone's socks off with GR, and if they get near what they want to, they damn near may do that.Originally Posted by CaptainMoodswing
I wouldn't.
The last time they went silent like this, it was because architect was too big and had to split an issue into 2. They probably won't do that.
We wanted custom bosses in missions, and we got entire groups we could customize. However you feel about the exploitation, you can not argue that we didn't get a much better product than we asked for.
I have a feeling they are aiming very high.
Of course, if anyone's already decided to be disappointed with it no matter what, there's just nothing much that can be said. I'm going to hope for the best and remain positive.

Yes, Mids' is correct in this.
The "Law of Fives" is governed by the set's bonus NAME (not strictly the amount). So the name of the LotG +7.5% recharge bonus is different than the "normal" +7.5% recharge bonus.
From the above-linked paragonwiki article: "That's because the first bonus is named "Luck of the Gambler: Recharge Speed" while the second is "Huge Recharge Bonus". One can find the names of the bonuses listed in the Combat Attributes window."
Now get to spendin'!

Quote:I don't know how accurate it is, but I've heard that Away Teams ("teams") are limited to only 5 total members. Coming from an environment like CoX where 8 is the maximum (and many of us would love to see that somehow expanded, I think), that's going to be an interesting experience.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
Looking at other games, STO's set up for missions sounds interesting, but I still don't think the gameplay itself looks strong enough. I think I'd always be left wanting more tactical ability from the game, when it's set up more like an MMO than a strategy game.
-
Quote:My feeling on that: they can turn bosses off, then. Easy fix. They can also start a team too (but many are too lazy or selfish to do so).Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
Some players are complaining about how some of the new difficulty settings seem to be spawning more bosses than before, and how that's not too much fun while soloing.
Someone will complain about any/all changes made to the game, no matter how universally well-received or regarded; nothing's ever going to change that sad fact...

How deep do you track?
Not sure what you mean by "online" and "offline" tracking. "Online" meaning websites such as Badge-Hunter/"offline" meaning local applications such as Excel and such?
In any event, like I said, personally I track only badges using Badge-Hunter, and nothing else. I know there are many people who like to hone their playtime to a fine point by using many resources, and more power to you guys. I'm far too scattered and disorganized for something like that.

Open up a Support ticket via the PlayNC website -- this is a known issue from time to time with peoples' Vet rewards, and many people have reported prompt correction to the issue. Best of luck.
