HEY U GUYSSSSSSS CAPTAIN CHUNK!

[/ QUOTE ]

Heeh, isnt it "Chuck"?

Nice video, I'm fascinated how the room placement and overall look is very similar to Goonies base

Not having claws myself high enough I don't really qualify to be trustworthy in this, but our lvl 50 claws/regen scrapper said he was kicking himself for not choosing followup earlier when he finally tried it. I understand its like build-up for claws..As far as I know. Focus is great as well - afaik all 3 last attacks are ok. When I was playing my claws alt at very low lvl, i was happy getting a PbAoE attack earlier than most

Edit: errr.... Claws/SR. The only type of character I have deleted for being too weak - couldnt solo own heroic mission was the last straw at lvl 18..

Targeting Drone used to stay visible, now it disappears after a few seconds because some people considered it annoying. The effect you get from it is on until you turn the toggle off.

You only 'have' to toggle targeting drone on and off if you insist on having the annoying graphics there.

[/ QUOTE ]

Holy hoop, one more actual improvement on the game. No more annoying Jedi training device.

[ QUOTE ]
Right...my question; is temp. invulreability power;
a) like sprint power; once you turn it on, it stays on and grants you it's benefits as long as it's on...or
b) like blaster's targeting drone; once you turn it on, it stays active for a short whille, then although it is still on in the power trey, it's not really active..meaning you have to toggle it on and off?

[/ QUOTE ]

I dont understand the question as both a.) and b.) are equal in my eyes.. But temp inv should be like sprint. You switch it on, it stays on and working until you turn it off or you run out of endurance. When it is switched off, theres a small delay before you can switch it on again. As far as I know, targeting drone works in similar way so I really dont understand the question.

I've just deleted my TP room, 'cause I wanted to move it to another location. I had a Basic Telepad, but when I builded my TP room again it was gone!!!
Where the !bleeep! did my telepad go?!?!

[/ QUOTE ]

If you sold/deleted it, it went back to being prestige you paid for it. The salvage and the item itself is lost forever. Blame Cryptic.

If you didnt get back the prestige you paid for it, thats something new actually.

[ QUOTE ]
think its either a character or random bug, cause the other day I showed another SG member the same badges I got (and he didnt have them so we could check if he got em) and HE unlocked the beacon(s). And yes, I HAVE been in SG mode, never left SG mode since lvl 1.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yesterday i went badge hunting, with my toon which has not many exploration badges. So as i would get notifiaction of badge earned. I was in SG Mode all the time

First port of call - Dark Astoria, flew around hunted out all the exploration badges, got badge earned message for all pick ups. On last one got the SG beacon. so far so good

Second port of Call - Terra Volta. Flew to top of reactor , got badge, got message, flew to the west collected another badge, message appears. Went to get nervous Dreak, perfect collect badge + message.
Now i was expecting to get 2 messages here one saying badge earned adn other saying SG beacon unlocked, as far as im aware is only 3 expo badges in TV.But got nothing
I was using the same char as i did in DA so dont understand why never got acknowledgement of SG beacon for TV.

Tonight i will try hollows beacon and try to get to other hazard zones. Do all hazard zones have a beacon ?

And do PvP zones have beacons from the hero side ??

So maybe it is a bug the beacons not opening when you visit all the exploration badges of an area ?

[/ QUOTE ]

Iirc Terra Volta doesnt have a beacon badge. The confirmed zones that have you can check from vidiotmaps. Off the top of my head, they are hollows,perez,striga,faultline,boomtown, crey's folly, dark Astoria.. Im not sure if I forgot something.

More time online spent levelling, crafting or PvP'ing = more money for NCSoft.

[/ QUOTE ]

An odd statement, if only because leveling is faster than it was at launch! Less debt in missions, a lower debt cap, increased mob XP - even with I5 and ED leveling is faster than it was up to I4.

[/ QUOTE ]

Gaining xp may be faster, but increased chance of debt after lvl 10 due to weakened characters offsets this so I'd say the effect is close to +-0.

Besides "less debt" does not apply. If you have permamently one death worth of debt the fact that the debt cap is smaller has no bearing whatsoever. Debt is still debt.

I dont understand the originally quoted statement though, don't care much.

[ QUOTE ]
I'll need to check when I go back in, but I think floor and ceiling trims are optional in rooms.
Thanks for the replies guys

[/ QUOTE ]
They arent, unfortunately. I think the base starts off without trims, but once you have added them theres no way to get rid of them other than placing deco objects on them.

EDIT: and eviltimmatt , great avatar!

[ QUOTE ]

NB: I do mean forced, the IoP's are clearly giving PvE bonuses, thus are part of the PvE game. While technically noone is actually forcing them to get an IoP, no one is forcing them to use enhancments either.

[/ QUOTE ]
I don't really agree on this.. The bonus is too small to have a real effect. When I told one friend about 1% extra damage she laughed at my face

[ QUOTE ]
As the SG leader can I move stuff people have placed in our base? I mean if someone stuck a salvage based item somewhere really silly or just somewhere I don't like it, will I be able to shift it about like normal items or is it a case of lump it or sell it? :s

[/ QUOTE ]
(Not just SG leader, but ranks who have the base editing rights - normally leaders thou). Yes, you can move the items around in the base editing mode. Unfortunately I dont see a way to move the items between rooms (even if they'd be suitable rooms). Couple of times some bug has allowed me to do this with deco items but normally i dont think its supposed to work. The bases are bugged as an ant's nest.

So if theres 2 transport rooms next to each other, I dont think we could move a telepad between them. Yesterday I downsized our transport room when I realized I couldnt fit raid teleporter in the same room as our 2 telepads, cause the bloomin room has a cap of 2 teleporters. In order to do the downsizing, I sold the telepads and had to reconstruct them from salvage.

Yes, thats what Im afraid as well. "Who cares about PvP as long as we trash their base".

Theoretically just taking down the generator should reduce any functionality of the base to 0, but Im not so sure it can be destroyed. I for one cant target it or get its HP bar, same for mainframe. All add-on's,workshop,infirmary reclaimator and telepads are targetable however. Is this working as intended? Maybe the most needed pieces cant be destroyed?

[ QUOTE ]
Hmmmmm ok from raids you do not lose any items,salvage,prestige,influence equipment. You only lose the IoP. The base can be totally wrecked and anything clickable can be destroyed but everything is restored automatically from system uppon raid end

[/ QUOTE ]
I was under impression that this is true for instant raids, but for IoP raids it involves the possibility of some items unrepairable, ie. permanently destroyed. The Robo-fabricator or similar salvage item should lower the possiblity of such thing happening, but it should still be possible to permanently lose some item. This is just what I have gathered from available info so far, might be wrong, and we certainly havent tested. Most items are automatically repaired at end of raid yes, but not all of them in case of IoP raids.

[ QUOTE ]


1 beacon per person is definitely NOT true, I can confirm that at least for COH. The Goonies have all the beacons mentioned in vidiotmaps collected and working.

[/ QUOTE ]
Except the fact that hollows beacon is bugged and tps you high in air above grendels gulch and lets you fall to the ground.. At least last time I checked it.

[ QUOTE ]
I believe that the Rangers now have a fully raidable base (Apart from the IoP of course ) And fully look forward to annihilating anyone who comes in

[/ QUOTE ]
The Goonies could have a fully raidable base right now, but we don't cause we (or at least I) dont want one. Let others have IoPs. I prefer to have those 2 normal telepads right now instead of raid teleporter.

Maybe when there is more info about the propability of losing items(prestige/salvage) to raiding we might pay more attention.

[ QUOTE ]
no need request anything mate just add in friends list my controller or Obot warshade and any of the usual pvpers and next time i online (which is tomorrow) send us a tell to invite tomorrow afternoon if u feel like is a good time for some fun

[/ QUOTE ]
Cant make it tomorrow, sunday maybe.

TG, I humbly request some training in PvP then, preferably in a team so I could know what I am supposed to do there. I havent got on many PvP teams as my evenings are usually spent playing PvE with alts. Certainly not in any good teams. I'd like to experience this fun of PVP, but havent had any luck so far.

As for 1-on-1, I know my tank cant beat another tank or a scrapper. Thats not even a theoretical possiblity unless their build is really weak and they dont know how to play. There are numerous other AT builds I also cant beat, but for scrappers and tanks its regardless of their build or powersets.

[ QUOTE ]
Khelds don't really need status protection. I have CJ and acrobatics for some status protection. Health now offers slight protection from sleep. We get some from Controllers and then there is also light form. And if thats not enough, we get dwarf.

[/ QUOTE ]
You say they don't need it but you still got status protection on your kheldian? huh?

And my PB doesnt feel Epic at all. Couple of months and he hasnt advanced past lv 14 cause playing him is annoying.

[ QUOTE ]

hammer, mate tank+taunt=nightmare trust me, u spam the taunts and you will help yoiur team massively, if you grabbed provoke too, 3 duration in each is a bonus, in S4 a taunting tank would go down cos we had so many ppl with fear and 2 elec drainers, rest of the time it a lot harder with no insane end debuffs or blappers/detogglers. taunt ftw, definately (and ppl lke me and greek no its not dangerous to taunt an empath or somesuch as it ruins their buffs, Blankers ftw )

[/ QUOTE ]

Too bad that ED ruined this aspect like all the other aspects of my tank. All I have now is taunt with the one slot. Don't have provoke anymore cause couldn't squeeze it in. Besides it would've needed at least 2 acc slots in it anyway to be of any use.

Plight, you don't seem to grasp the concept how crap tanks are right now. Nothing remotely resembling the S4 days..

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
A character should be able to contribute either to team survival(like debuffs) or damage output(like blasters/scrappers). Tank contributes neither and is just ballast imo.


[/ QUOTE ] and this is where i will disagree Ham for simple reasons... a tanker is far more ubah and can certainly change the tide of a battle in many ways...first of all and most important by taunting the primary damage dealers of opposite team. Keep a blaster taunted and that saves from attacking the squishies in team with range...in a really good team that the players are tight together this will automatically signal the blaster as a target once taunted and will lead to the blaster being taken down... Tankers are as much essential in PvP just as any other AT is just that their role is much less direct and tactical than other AT's

[/ QUOTE ]

Doesnt seem like it.. Maybe I have just teamed in bad teams that dont work well together, but despite repeated taunting I dont seem to have any effect. The taunt seems to wear off in fractions of a second and did you know for instance that mastermind pets are immune to taunt?
In addition, if the enemy would realize how easily I go down they shouldnt have any trouble with me. The only real defense my tank seems to have is being chocked full of defense insps.

Ganking is fun.

[/ QUOTE ]

Apparently so.

[/ QUOTE ]

(talking in general)
What about those poor PvE mobs, there must be one ganked every 10 seconds.. nobody cares for them .. *sniff*

Seriously, I really cant understand why ganking is complained about so much. If people would actually sit down and think, everybody would realize that its unavoidable part of PvP when there is more than 2 persons present. (if I even understand the term correctly) People always go for the enemy that is in disadvantage. I see nothing wrong in that. I have gotten ganked enough many times. I have no big problem with it.

Much bigger problem is the imbalance in AT's and sets.

Personally when I am in PvP, I go for anybody I see once, then I let them be the second time I see them unless they attack me or my team. I haven't been much on Greek's ownage nights.. They make me just sad for the state of tanks when I go down in seconds or am incapable of landing even a brawl on those hurricanists..

I also can't understand why people emphasize the team PvP so much either. in my opinion a character should have a chance one-on-one as well, otherwise in a team it would just mean that the other players are responsible for the kills and the poor guy contributes nothing. A character should be able to contribute either to team survival(like debuffs) or damage output(like blasters/scrappers). Tank contributes neither and is just ballast imo.


EDIT: Ok, repeatedly picking on a weaker victim is not nice..

But not for any "crafted" items, or rather, you won't receive the Salvage back

[/ QUOTE ]But, if you delete the item itself, i think it returns to your inventory and you can place it again.

[/ QUOTE ]
No it doesnt. All you can do with crafted items is move them around. Ive deleted one telepad so far.

But, they seem relatively easy to get back. Our SG keeps donating the salvage to one person who will build items (in this case, me) and there isnt really a problem getting the items rebuilt inasmuch as getting the prestige in the first place.

[ QUOTE ]
will i get prestige back for deleting room?

[/ QUOTE ]
yes.
