Yeah, my first IO builds on my Inv/SS also focused on closing the Psi hole, but I don't think it's worth it. Most Psi damage has something else attached to it that you can use for Psi mitigation instead. And for the times that it doesn't, there's Dull Pain. I used several respecs and now have him chasing the Def Softcap AND "killing them before they kill you is the best mitigation" (ie, lots of recharge) with a little bit of "needz moer regen". Definitely more survivable.

What I wonder about is, how does Marvel get away with trademarking (or copywriting, whichever) people like Thor and Hercules?
If I made a */mace tank named Thor and who really was an incarnation of the mythological Thor, like the Marvel character, but had red hair instead of blond (the "real" mythological Thor has red hair, not blond), a horned helmet instead of winged, would it get generic'd? I'm sure it would, but I can't figure out why...
And how does NCSoft get away with using Valkyrie? The Marvel Valkyrie isn't exactly a D-list character. Is it because the Marvel Valkyrie really IS a valkyrie, whereas Paragon Valkyrie is just a normal person who found a technologically advanced spear? -
I'll be there. If GATE-keeper (Inv/SS tank) hasn't run this already by then, I'll bring him. Otherwise, I'll bring Turbolt (Elec/SR scrapper); this is the last one he needs for TFC.

Don't forget your attacks. Two Pounding Slugfests give 8%.
I usually slot my melee attacks with 4 Kin Combats (for the S/L Def) and two Pounding Slugfests.
Edit: Two Pounding Slugs are only 8%. -

When is this rewarded? At the Rare or Very Rare level? -
I'm like IB; regardless of what's planned, I'll plan on being there.

Quote:In order to do the TF, you need to have unlocked your alpha slot. However, if you have you slot unlocked, but have nothing in it, you will be level-shifted down by 4 levels. (Emperor Cole's got some ray gun thingy that does that. Somehow.) You'll still have powers, hitpoints, etc as a level 50, but your combat level will only be 46.Originally Posted by Ad Astra
Can someone clarify just how "alpha" you need to be for this TF? I thought the slot just had to be opened (and if you have it filled, that's great, even if only with a common).

Quote:Im not sure about shard mechanics, but theres a rumor going aroundOriginally Posted by Ukaserex
I'm not sure if it's a misunderstanding or what, but the number of shards this person told you is more than the number of mitos. Perhaps they are including monsters that they have to take down to spawn Hamidon? Even so, I am left wondering about the accuracy of 70 to 80 shards.
When a shard-dropping mob is defeated, it does a drop check on everyone on the team. Supposedly, its possible for one defeated mob to give everyone on the team a shard. However, if a person is awarded a shard, but isnt capable of equipping shards (ie, hasnt unlocked the alpha slot) then that awarded shard is passed to a randomly determined shard-capable player on the team. Some people are swearing that they are receiving multiple shards from the same defeated mob.
Not sure if I believe that, but its just as believable as a single player getting 70 to 80 shards during a single Hami Raid. By comparison, I usually get 4-6 shards on a Mother Ship Raid. I dont know why the numbers for a Hami Raid would be any different . -

Ive been hearing that Hami will drop tons of shards.
Last one I remember on Infinity was Nov or Oct, i think Hopper ran it. She started trying to do them after the Sunday Mother ship raid, but has recently switched to doing the CoP instead. -
I've also noticed that if you scroll the "zoom in - zoom out" slider all the way down (ie, zoom all the way in), the map starts drifting. I just noticed this about a month or so ago and seems to happen on every map.

Quote:I think you've got a good compromise there: focusing on the WST's now, while planning on returning to the lower level TF's later.Originally Posted by mscats
I understand what you are saying.. you want tf's for your lowbie toons. That will happen. I was really doing this to give everyone, including myself, the opportunity to get the incarnate components for their current level 50 toons.
I can't play the game much, if at all, during the week, so Friday nights and Saturdays are the only time I can get those components on one toon. If folks want to run the low-level tf's rather than the WST, that's fine with me. I am not a dictator... I run these events for you guys.
Especially, b/c the devs have hinted that - in the future - shards will drop for 50's even while exemped down. So someone who wants to get shards will be able to run a lowbie TF to get them. But right now, the WST is the best way to kit out your alpha-enabled toons.
And while we're on the subject, I really want to express my appreciation to you MsCats, for putting these thing together every Saturday. It makes planning a toon's progression much easier when you know in advance that you'll be able to run a particular TF. -
A year's worth of suds? Are we talking the cheap, college-boy stuff like Pabst Blue Ribbon or the good stuff like Toohey's Extra Dry Platinum?
-
Yeah, same thing happened to me recently as well. I noticed you have the Vidiotmaps overly, as do I. Wonder if that's related.
(btw, although you get the mission in KR, that's actually the Atlas Park Safeguard...

I'll be there with GATE-keeper, Inv/SS tank.

Oh, if he doesn't bring a tank, then maybe I will. I have several that need to earn a Notice of the Well.

/Fire brutes dying on LGTF are doing it wrong. I did several of them last week with my SS/Fire brute and only had to use my heal when fighting Hami. I also cleared the last mission solo after the team had left for shards. /Fire is only weak before IO investment, but so is /SD and we all know how that turns out.I'm guessing he means that after the rest of the team left (ie, after defeating Honoree, the Rikti AV and the Pylons) he stayed behind to clear the rest of the map so HE could get shards.Quote:Originally Posted by Klaatu
If the team wanted shards why did they leave? Or is shards the name of the place the team was leaving for?
I do that a lot, too. -
Not sure who I'll bring. I've only got one alpha-enabled 50 (GATE-keeper). If he has already run this by next Saturday ... well, there's no reason for a 50 to run a SisPsy WTF more than once, right? No shards, no components, right?
If GATE-keeper (Inv/SS tank) hasn't already run it, I'll bring him. Else, I'll bring Statesdude (NRG/WP brute), who needs this TF for the accolade. -
OK, so whenever I use Quick Links->Mark Forums Read, I get:
"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.
If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."
Just started after the forum maint. Anyone else? -

Quote:Since Lady Grey is the WTF and so many people will be in RWZ running that - in addition to the raid, i'll bet we can spawn RWZ4 during the ship raid!Originally Posted by HercuIes
This coming Sunday, 2/20/11, PERC will be hosting a little Vanguard themed CC after the first round of ship raiding (in RWZ1). The CC will be held in Pocket D, since the raids typically spawn RWZ2 these days, and I'd like as many people as possible to be able to participate. Prizes will be 500 mil 1st, 300 mil 2nd, 200 mil 3rd. Winning costumes must contain at least ONE item of Vanguard equipment.

We usually call you "Doc"; I guess now we'll call you "Sleepy"? -

Ummm, OK, so when did Thor start talking normal? Or is this supposed to be Ultimate Thor?

Does the hospital inside the Longbow ship have an Insp seller?
(I almost always start this mish with a tray full and email full. But by the time we get done with the junior league, I rarely have enough left for LR. Either we don't have enough Immob to lock GW down - which leads to me munching purples while taunting in front of her and telling everyone else to hit her from behind. Or not enough dps to take her down quickly. Or the blaster's "single pull" causes a few of GW's friends to decide to join the fun.)
So anyway, if there is an insp seller in the hospital on the Longbow ship, I thought I would just let myself die, rez on the ship, re-stock on insps and be able to quickly re-join. -
Well, since this TF seems to be designed to let Invuln's shine, I'll bring GATE-keeper, my Inv/SS tank.
