Hyperstrike

Okay. Sorry to hear how aggravating it has been for you.

Oddly enough, had an aggravating incident on my Fire/Fire blaster as well. Most of the runs I've taken through the Trapdoor mission, I've been able to get him into the lava and keep him there.

With my blaster, for some reason, he'd stand there for a couple seconds, take some damage, then turn and run like a jackrabbit. Pulling him to the hall was no help because I was a squishy blaster and even with 4 purples he'd two-shot me. Was the damnedest thing. After over a dozen runs into the mission, I was spitting and cursing like a sailor.

Finally fed up, I had a friend come in-mish with me and we spanked him in about a minute.

Now this is not saying teaming is required. It isn't. Just that, sometimes, teaming just makes it easier or more straightforward.

No. That's me. But only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every odd Sunday of every other month beginning with the letter A.

Or was that libido...hmmm. I'll be in my bunk.

Opening your Incarnate slot grants you a third build.

Willing to bet that it's due to the quantity of bombs being laid and the fact that the game interface quite simply couldn't take that much simultaneous input.

If it was the other way around, some jack*** would sell his soul to Mephisto and we'd get Issue 666 (Stupid Retcon!)

Depends on how shallow and easily (and quickly) fixed the bug is.

A patch was coming out Tuesday, period. So the crammed all the stuff they could fix before them into this patch. The more serious stuff that takes longer will come out on a subsequent Patch Tuesday.

Moreover, you have multiple groups of people contributing to the patches.

Note that you don't put your storyline people to work writing code to fix toggle-drop bugs and the like.

First off. Take your Ritalin Garth!

Seriously, relax a bit.

You're approximately 8 days out from the drop of the Issue.

You have people with 3, 4, 5, and 6 years worth of play time and SERVERS FULL OF 50's with something new to do.

And you're one of them. So you're pounding hard on these new things to do. Because you want the nice stuff too.

It's not wrong, or bad or ab(bie?)normal. But it's not "forced" either.

Also note you're only dealing with the first HALF of a new 10-tier system.


Take it GRADUALLY. Trying to cram all your 50's into Incarnate in a 1-2 week period is GOING to lead to burnout. Start with the ones you actually play regularly. Then get the other ones when you have a few "slow" moments with the game.

As such, it'll be less job-ish.

Again, the TFs are NOT forced. You can mish along on L50 toons and still pick up everything you need to craft Incarnate boosts.


See above.


Again, take ye olde chill pill. Flipping out about this accomplishes nothing but getting froth all over everyone.

That's essentially what a TF is. An arc. Moreover, you get random shard drops for killing L50 enemies. Both in TFs and in regular play. You even get them during Rikti and Zombie raids.

That'd be a neat trick for a 50.

Again, this is level-gated content. You HAVE to be 50 to start the arc.

Shards do drop randomly when you kill L50+ enemies.

Fairly certain you can get drops against GM's, as they're non-level enemies like Invasion Rikti and Zombies. Again, all RNG-influenced of course.

As for Posi and non-50 TFs. The point of the Incarnate system was to push you to the harder content in the game.


Then don't do it. Slow down a bit and alt again for a while.

Come back to it when you're ready.




All I can say is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*PANT*PANT*PANT*OOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOM!

Because "That *BLEEP!*BLEEP!*BLEEP!*BLEEP!*BLEEP!*BLEEP!*BLEEP!* BLEEP!* Hell Hole" just doesn't have quite the same je ne sais quoi.

That and it makes printing placenames on travel brochures cheaper...

This is a known issue. You have two options.

1: You can use the Snipping Tool (Start/All Programs Accessories)
2: You can fish a working screenshot out of the Screenshots folder in your City of Heroes folder. CoH still snags the screenshot properly when you hit Print Screen. It's just that Win7 doesn't save it to the clipboard properly anymore.

Your wish is my command master!

SIM SIM SALLAH BIM!































Are you satisfied my master?

HO HO HO HO!

*Turns into a puff of smoke and returns to the bottle*

So we'll see a South Park episode "Trapped in a Cookie Jar" and think of Ulli?

Just...please...no Tom Cruise.

Nah. That came down a few years ago, Ellen Muth caught it.

No, you didn't come off as rant-ish.

Okay, please keep in mind that we're approximately a week out from the Issue drop. Give all the people with umpty-jillion 50's a little time to incarnate them all appropriately. Once the shiny new-ish smell wears off, and everyone's got the nice stuff, we'll see a lot more alting on lowbies again.


Again, give it time. I wouldn't make any calls about this until after the new year.

Only if she asks me to.

Who cares?

The term is nebulous and completely subjective.

Great. Now I know how Einstein, Oppenheimer and the rest felt.

What have I wrought!

You may want to transfer this to a HOWTO post in the live forums before the beta forums goes byebye.

What part about "mission bugged, devs fixed" was unclear?

As for "skill" at play, exactly how hard is it to take an IO'ed-to-a-fare-thee-well toon through most stuff? If you call that "skill" great, fine and wonderful. I'll just proceed to laugh at you.

This was about a mission that was dropping multiple spawns of Malta, with each spawn containing a sapper, nearly simultaneously. While it's not a guaranteed death sentence, for a toon with lower damage outputs and few defenses, it essentially is the same thing.

Most of the content in the game, barring stuff specifically labeled as "team content" or "Incarnate" should be reasonably able to be completed by an SO'ed toon with a few well chosen inspies at default difficulty.

Having three or four sappers spawn on top of an SO'ed defender is not "reasonable".

Yes, you can drop the mission.
Yes, you can snag a team to do the mish.

Not.
The.
Point.

As for why "skilled" players must up the diff?

Seriously?

Howsabout we just chuck you, naked, into EVE or something similar.

Nah, the right one's just as huge.

You've heard the term "working my *** off"?

Unfortunately for me, I still got a LOT of *** left back there. So I should be employed for at least a couple millennia.
