I think that's your problem right there to begin with. Don't think of it as a job.
Think of it as get in there and hit those control AND attack powers!
Simply outputting random damage on random mobs is less than optimal use of a controller.
Sticking them on a door and having them lock down and kill everything that comes out is a better use, but gives crappier reward? -
This week went quite well, even with the low turnout.
First mish of Ramiel was +0x4 due to miscommunication. We ripped through it AND Trapdoor. Literally, 30 seconds from full HP to begging for his life.
Next one we bumped to +2x8 (was still being conservative) with AVs.
While it took a little bit to whittle the Honoree down, we were simultaneously cooking Holtz. My comment at the end? "Shoulda gone +4"
Went +4 for the final mish and just ate it up.
First of the alignment mission. Just killed and killed and killed.
The next mish was the one with all the Arachnos in the ship. It bugged somehow and came out +0x8. Not sure what happened. We tore through it.
Final one was that freaking Longbow mish. And the fact that they were giving such paltry XP doesn't surprise me, having played villain-side and become sick-to-death of Longbow.
For those who aren't aware. The Rikti mission was averaging 135K XP a sec for Post. The Longbow mission? 55K a sec. -

This is this evening guys.

If you guys want to run the Incarnate unlock arc, I'm all for that. Unfortunately I don't have any heroes on Freedom who aren't unlocked. So if we're going to run it, one of you guys needs to be locked from it still.

1. Would you buy Base Expansion Packs?
If it's just a couple pieces, maybe $5-7.Quote:2. How much would you pay?
If it's sizeable, $10.
If it's absolutely massive and scope-changing for bases? $50.
Well, expansions for Arcane and Tech of couse.Quote:3. What themed Base Expansion Packs would you like to see?
Maybe an Organic pack (grow your base).
Steampunk.
Caves pack.
Again, it depends on price.Quote:4. How many items should a Base Expansion Pack contain?
Honestly though, I don't think we're going to see something like this. Bases are just too niche. Plus what? One person can buy them and apply to multiple bases. How do people who didn't buy the pack interact with items placed by someone with the pack? How does someone else edit or replace the stuff?
A lot of nasty little cases in there that'd probably preclude something like this. As much as I want this, I don't really see a way for them to do it as a viable product with an honest-to-god return on investment. -

Actually found someone in BaseBuildersInc. awake tonight and got a HOWTO. Thanks.

Hey guys. Just trying to get an idea of how to do this. Stacking stuff up off the floor is something I'm quite familiar with. But stacking stuff down from the ceiling...not so much.
Also, just an FYI, a good 75-80% of the links in the consolidated base guide are now lost to purges. -
Quote:Well the lead Restructurist IS called Me't H'ed.Originally Posted by BlueBattler
So one of the things that strike me as being interesting about the Rikti is that the Traditionalists-- the "good" Rikti-- do not accept converted Lost as full Rikti without years of preparation. (That's why the Restructists have so many more formerly human converts than the Traditionalists.)
So does that mean one of their leaders should be Ar'chi Bnk'r?

Okay turned into a BAF today during which I could apparently do nothing right.

Were your fees refunded or not?
Either way, /bug it in-game. Talking about it here won't put eyes on it. -

Had an 18-minute speed run of the ITF on Monday.
We actually only killed Romulus twice, but since we simultaneously annihilated the Nictus AVs too...
All in all we were killing stuff so fast it wasn't even funny. -
I know a bunch of you don't want to hear this but give the devs a bit of time. A week is a ridiculously short amount of time for turning out major game-crashing bugfixes.
-
It's possible one of the ports that are unused have some dust in there that's causing a short and making it think something's plugged in. Can of compressed air and a few gentle, short spritzes.
Another possibility is that one of the ports (or the device used on that port) is going bad.
Still another is that your on-board USB controller is going bad.
Still another is that one of the latest Win7 patches you've acquired has something wrong with it that's causing the false detection. -

Quote:AFAIK, you don't have to qualify for all the badges in the same run.Originally Posted by Kult666
have not attempted a Mo for either finally got on a BAF and they were decidedly not Mo (keep em separated seems like a badge that is going to be hard to get)
The big stinker for GKES is those damn wall guns.
If everyone forgoes qualification for the badge for NOT clicking the glowies that are shutting them down, GKES becomes more doable. You still need timing though. It'd REALLY suck to get one of the AVs rezzing at full HP because you didn't keep the HP beating coordinated. -
As others have said, right now people are filling teams on their own.
This renders the queue system more or less useless.
In fact it's worse than that.
While in queue, you're unable to enter missions as well. So if you queue up, you basically get to stand around for the duration, ostensibly picking your nose and not much else. -
Well, this was the first week with truly extensive penetration of Incarnate abilities into the player base. I will that that this week's RtR was AWESOME!
An average week yields something in the neighborhood of 3-500 Vanguard merits. Tonight? 650+.
Even Rikti Magi don't stand up to massed Judgement blasts all that well.
While I have a few serious quibbles about some of the mechanics (or the deprecation of said mechanics) in the game, I'll say this. I'm having fun. -

The Devs reputation is in the cellar, NCSofts "we apologise for any inconvenience caused / thank you for your patience" shows how much they care.
[quote]As suggested in an earlier post by broomhilda, maybe some of the Devs/Quality team should listen in to the chat channels.[/qipte]
I'd rather they didn't waste time with that and spent some time finding and killing the bugs with extreme prejudice.
And because you're having this problem and hundreds (or thousands) aren't, the problem MUST be the dev's code.Quote:I've tried playing in Pretoria (for which I pre-paid before it was issued), and cant even go 5 minutes without hard crashing on a constant basis.
Uh huh.
Contrary to popular belief, fixes in complex programs and data structures do NOT automatically happen by themselves, nor overnight.Quote:Something has gone horribly wrong and its time to repair the damage both program-wise, and more importantly, customer (player) - wise.

<NewbieHero1> Thanks man! You saved our bacon!
<Incarnate 1> No problem! Not sure how we GOT here, but glad it helped!
<NewbieHero2> But we didn't get any XP for that!
<Incarnate 2> Oi! Always with the complaints!
<NewbieHero1>*Hissed* Shut UP! Do you want to make the MAD?
<Incarnate 3> Okay! I think we've got this fixed. Let's zone and go do that to Nightstar and Siege!
<24 Incarnates> HURRAH!
