    2) Am I being stupid for farming at +4/x8/bosses? I ticket cap before killing all the initial ambushes and clicking the glowie, I don't even get a Rage crash most times (it's a cheapish and secondary build, but with 100% rech plus t3 on everything you have). Or is it significantly better for influence than say, +3/x8 or +2/x8 with bosses? Maybe faster too since I ticket cap so fast?

    3) Is it worth to put a dmg proc in Burn?

    4) I want to level lock a farmer at 33 to get 33 recipes since they sell well. So what'd you suggest? I don't think Claws/Elec (25 now) is that great especially since you die easily on TopDoc's lowbie farm if you're not careful (ok not that I die a lot, but I have to pay way more attention than my SS/Fire/Mu where I just have to eat 2 purps and the rest damage). I was thinking about elec/fire or claws/fire, since I won't be able to get insane rech unless I put purps I might do it on +1/x8 or even less.

    The idea in elec/fire would be to use Burn, CI, TS and LRod (with BU since I can only put 4 dam/rech on LR). But maybe a Claws/fire is better? Fu to boost everything's damage, Spin, Burn, maybe Eviscerate.

    Thanks in advance.
    1) Ion is literally better in every way, it does the same damage but hits more mobs by a very significant amount. It is also auto hit so it cannot miss like the other judgements.

    2) It doesn't really make a lot of differenec if you are just going for the ticket cap. If you notice a difference you are very perceptive - the difference is literally in the 1-2s range.

    3) Most definitely.

    4) Definitely Claws/Fire, you get everything awesome from fire and you have enough aoes for a full attack chain at 33. Nothing else even comes close.
  2. My Crab is my favourite slacker character.
    It can solo anything and all I have to do is turn on toggles and use a couple of attacks. It alsohas a bunch of pets I just let do all the work when I really feel like slacking off and not even attacking.
  3. So tell me again why farming Death from Below four times is any different to farming AE four times?
    Other than the time taken of course.

    Your next vet badge should show up on schedule. Of course, the only 'vet' badges now are the yearly ones. The 'every 3 month' badges are now based on Paragon Rewards level so they can be bought.
    Well that is kind of my problem, in the past it used to go by veteran time which was tracked on my accounts page, now that is no longer displayed. Which leads to my paranoia about the much lower paid time statistic which they show proudly.

    Well either way, I guess you are right - the wait and see approach is the way to go. I know I should have my 3 year badge by December at the latest so I'll either be happy or ready to renew my complaint then.
  5. Didn't get any paragon rewards though.
    What should I have got? 0,1 or 2?
  6. Nevermind.
    In what I consider a weird turn of events, they gave me enough global unlocks to unlock the characters myself instead of actually unlocking them...
  7. So my sub lapsed to Premium, I logged in to check it out.
    Premium sucked.
    So I used a 2 month timecard to go back to VIP status.
    My account page updated to VIP.
    After logging in, I still only have two characters unlocked but both have full access to everything in game including incarnates.

    Considering that having extra character unlocks is one of the major perks of subscribing, this is a pretty serious bug.
  8. My Token Badge is "Genuine" but I also bought $100 worth of points.
  9. I am at the 2 year badge but that was expected, what I am unsure of is how long I will have to wait for the 3 year badge.
  10. Prior to Freedom going live, I was at my 33 month badge.
    Now looking at my account page, the only mention of my vet time is 2 years and 4 months paid time.
    The difference is due to referring friends and free months offered in game packs.

    So how long exactly would I be waiting for my 36 month badge under the new system? Is it the less than 3 months I would have normally been waiting, or have I been "rolled back" by Freedom?

You just are not in a position to be guessing at peoples nature, let alone projecting idiotic statements of outdated racial leanings. If you have experienced the OP's suggested (but inexperienced) findings then I would advise the global ignore and reporting lines of action.
    Maybe I misspoke when I used the term "a lot" but regardless of of your "guessing" as long as people retain free-will, the people I described undeniably exist. Even if there are only 20 of them, that is more than enough to completely ruin the help channel.

    BTW please try to refrain from pulling out any "race" cards in future posts, it really made responding to you a genuine challenge. I know it is irrational but as soon as I see terms like that thrown out there, it pretty much dominates my mind and overrules everything else you add with it.
  12. The server is VIP only.
    A lot of people moved there because of that fact.
    Tthe sort of people that change servers because they are pro-segregation, are the height of arrogance. The things you mention are just consequences of that arrogance.

    If anyone has a lick of sense in their head then they will realize that with all the huge changes this game has undergone downtime is a neccesity to get everything right and implement said changes. Doom and gloom folks you ppl are the best form of entertainment.

    I prefer this approach, if I do not understand something or have a question about something I have no knowledge of, then I learn as much as I can or ask questions. That way I have a better sense of things and how they function. I prefer to be sensible and take a logical approach to it all.

    But, that's me and I guess it's easier to make an *** out of yourself with doom posts and internet threats. Downtime=ppl quitting..whatever..
    I know of almost two dozen people who have quit due to this.
    The downtime might not seem a big deal to those of you in America, but it is very significant in Australia.
    The OP's statement about the server being down more than it is up may be hyperbole but not so much down under. When it comes to Australian Prime Time, the game is down more than it is up.
    The subs lost might not seem very significant but trying to downplay their loss as non-existent isn't sensible nor logical at all.
  14. I'm sorry OP but with a title like that, it is going to be extremely difficult for anyone to take you seriously.
    I saw the title and assumed this thread was going to be a parody of all the other threads with the same complaint.

    To read that you were serious and chose to have that title anyway, was shocking to say the least.

    Even if you are not in the first 20, you still have a chance to win one of 20 mystery prizes (valued at 25 mill + )
    Yeah I was more curious as to whether or not 20 correct answers had been given as of yet.
    I can see why you wouldn't want to answer that question though.
  16. In adition to Streetlight's changes, you are better off ditching Cardiac and Taking Spiritual. With Spiritual's recharge, you are only 0.4s off your optimal single target chain of: Scorch -> Incinerate -> Scorch -> GFS.
    The endurance issue is easily mitigated by ageless and ageless also provides an average of +20% recharge, which is exactly enough to remove than 0.4s delay off the attack chain I mentioned.
  17. Sonic/Pain is pretty awesome. You can get some really high regen and turn them into a ranged Scrapper with buffs.

  19. Have the 100m prizes for the first 20 all gone yet?
  20. 2.5 bil.
    Will trade for two Glad Javelin Procs or one Glad Javelin + 1.25 bil.

    PM me your global if interested.
  21. I remember when people used to consider this community to be "good"
  22. Isn't the Alignment Merits argument a little bit obsolete now?
    It is far more efficient to make your pruchases with Astral/Emp merits now than Alignment.
    There really isn't any reason to be a hero/villain over vig/rogue now...

    Even before the incarnate merits, the decision to be a pure alignment was rather dubious. Being able to get eight Hamis in four days is more profitable than being able to get four Hamis and one lotg.
  23. Number 5 gave me the most challenge and now after figuring it out, I feel rather stupid. It is one of those ones that are so simple you really need to tone down your brain to get it.
