Feign

These are referred to as MAN builds. I'm pretty sure you can dig some threads on it out of the Controller boards. I dunno if the term lasted past the release of CoV, since it was in place before Controllers had Containment.

The intent was to level the absolutely hardest build possible, All Power pools, no enhancements... There are legends of one or two of these getting to 50 (Well, at the time, 40, but still, the max level).

I've found the snipe is pretty good for when enemies are incapable of attacking, but my powers still need time to recharge. Because I've got no recharge slotting in anything and no Hasten...

Of course, that's also a sign that the build sucks, and you shouldn't listen to my advice...

Good times.

These ought to be fairly easy:

1) What is Lady Grey's first name?
2) Does she have a praetorian double that will be involved in G_R?


(and the fact that my main villain is Praetorian Grey has noooothing to do with this... Honest. )

And here I just got back from my lunch break, where I didn't check for the patch...

I'm gonna be thinking about this all through my date tonight, too. *sigh*

If ranged sets are getting Pistols and MMs are getting Demons, there's a need for something in the melee and control categories...

For the former, Psi Melee.

For Control, something Tech based, a bit of Traps, a bit of Devices, and a bit of new.

After pulling out a Vanguard Heavy for (essentially) the first time, I'm kind of amazed how much its energy attacks look like sprays of luminescent water...

Just something to think on.

Hrmm...does it have to be a villian?

[/ QUOTE ]According to the subject and the OP... Yes.

How do people type without reading?

According to a post by Avatea over on the Euro boards, today is supposed to be the day when the devs decide whether or not I15 is ready to push to the Training room. So maybe we'll be hearing something relatively soon.

[/ QUOTE ]And by 'soon', you seem to insinuate some time sooner than Soon but later than now?

seriously, can we stop with the labeling and at least try to be civil?
Even with my disquiet about the past couple of weeks, I am looking forewards to both the new tf's and going rogue.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why, so you can find new exploits to exploit, Mr. Exploiter!?

[/ QUOTE ]

and we know all rpers are just looking for hot cat girl erp. I dont exploit get that through your thick head. It is easy to label people that we absolutely no knowledge of. Everytime you accuse some one of being a exploiter, you help the terrorists win.

Issue 15: Revenge of the Fifth.

[/ QUOTE ]It works! Ship it!

Actually, I'm curious to see what the official word is on the Praetorian Lady Grey...

If she died ages ago and was though to never have gotten her powers (or if she's just never seen or heard from at all), that would mean my character's backstory still stands!

Otherwise, it's Retcon time.

[ QUOTE ]
.....and yes, you can have my stuff.

[/ QUOTE ][censored]-YEAH!

C'mon with the boring bugfixes, i15, I hear JDouble has some good stuff, and I wants it.

(I'm paid ahead for the next year, so nyah. )

[ QUOTE ]
Going Rogue is not i16. Issues (i numbers) are free expansions; Going Rogue is a commercial expansion like CoV. If the rumoured powersets (dual pistols and "demon summoning", whatever that is) are "real" and part of GR, they may not appear in the rest of the game (w/o the expansion, of course) until much later.

[/ QUOTE ]Might I interject, that we don't know that the new powersets will be part of GR. We only know they will very likely be in the game when GR goes live, as the signiture chars of it are showcasing those powers.

My guess is that Demon Summoning and Dual Pistols will be part of the issue that corresponds with GR, and not require the paid expansion to play.

Does anybody remember what they were testing the last time they copied a server to one of the Training Rooms? I can't recall.

[/ QUOTE ]I do believe it was for the Manticore+Sister Psyche wedding.

Maybe this transfer is for an event as well?

Hmm... I hope this doesn't stomp on Praetorian Grey's backstory too much... If she can still live up to her name, she's not going soft or going rogue... She's going home, with a vengeance...

Fifth Feign is probably gonna get redeemed, and both of my Kheldians will fall (yes, the Peacebringer too, there's a reason).

[ QUOTE ]
Does Energy Melee get a RED power bolt? Or is it the stupid blue that doesn't match and will force me to redo my custom group?

[/ QUOTE ]This, I made an all-red-energy group as well, and having a blue bolt thrown in would make me an angry panda.

(by the way, if an enemy uses a self-rez, do you get the XP for killing him a second time?)

[/ QUOTE ]
Sure do.

[/ QUOTE ]O_O Okay, now there's an actual incentive to try this challenge. Muahaha!

Add me to the Group Fly fanclub. Have a friend who's got Team Teleport, and we take folks on the Grand Tour of the Shard pretty regularly... But yeah, 99% of the time, it's a "kick me from the team" power.

Once I hit it right as a blaster was firing his snipe for a pull, and he missed. Stream of consciousness misspelled curses erupted forth, quickly followed by my getting booted. A pretty extreme reaction, but in a way it's typical. Group flight diserves to be on the list.

[ QUOTE ]
A minion-level ally set to aggressive with a secondary that grants +perception would be pretty much guaranteed to get themselves killed, especially if you use enemies with AoEs.

Just in case though, you could have the captive animation indicate the ally is wounded, and even if they survive the mission they later die of their wounds? That could break immersion for a player with an ally heal though.

[/ QUOTE ]Hmm, is this really possible? All I can think of that has +Perception reliably is Devices, but is Targeting Drone available to minions?

Note, this also worked great on a team with controls, we broke through his mez protection before he started running, but all that stacked mez was gone when he popped Resurgence. Even with five controllers, we couldn't keep him in the mission after he rezzed. It was huge fun, and quite hardcore, but at the same time, not too much danger to solo with my Stalker.

[/ QUOTE ]

WHat about slows though? Perhaps siphon speed, tar patch, catrops snowstorm, would get him slowed enough to get him locked up. just a thought, im kinda having teh same problem, but my mission is for lowbies soo i really have to becarefull with the power of the enemy

[/ QUOTE ]The rest of the mission is filled with Knives of Artemis allies, so I guess slows would stack a bit better. but yeah, he's almost always pretty close to the exit when he falls, and all of those status effects drop off when he pops Resurgence, too. Granted, it's not so tough to kill him the first time, but you need a very specialized team and strategy to get that second kill.

(by the way, if an enemy uses a self-rez, do you get the XP for killing him a second time?)

Like i said before, Small map+run at 10% HP+Regen, Dark Armor, or Willpower on Extreme (granted, ouch...) means the boss WILL get away, even if they're defeated, without failing the mission (you only have to defeat the boss the first time to get the objective).

Yes, when a bodd uses a self-res, they automatically keep running, even if they're at full health.
