Quote:Well, you have 4 passives. Firstly, I don't think Tough Hide was ever considered one of the skippable ones. It was the 3 passive resists. Secondly, smashing/lethal damage is so common, that most took Resist Physical Damage.Originally Posted by Neg_rogue
So I know these were always considered pretty skippable powers, but I was wondering if that's changed. My brother has a lvl 50 Inv tanker and he told me I want to take every single power in Inv,
All of them got boosted from 7.5% to 10% resist, in addition to the debuff resistances.
As for the remaining two, it's a judgment call and you should consider your plans for the tank. Some people plan to solo their tanks and really don't need them. My invuln is built to handle the nastiest stuff in the game and I never even considered skipping ANY of the primary powers. How tough do you NEED to be, keeping in mind that you could be taking other useful powers? -
Currently, no. He's too low.
(If I recall correctly, he's 38 and it's a 35-40 arc.) -

Quote:Small correction: first vet reward respec is at 9 months, then every 12 months following that (21, 33, 45, etc).Originally Posted by Diggis
Finally, There are respecs as veteran rewards. Not sure how many, or how often, but I just got one at 12 months.

I just want to be able to land on top of the blimp and trucks and hitch a ride.

I take my melee tactic from the Ti Kwan Leep / Boot to the Head bit: Get in the first shot.

You and you damnable logic.
If I won the lottery, first I would buy a HUGE gold necklace that read, "I'M RICH, B****!". So everyone would know that I was The Man.
Then I would hire 2 bodyguards to protect me and the necklace, since I am The Man.
Then I would get a huge car to carry me and my bodyguards to where I wanted to go, GOLD plated, so they could see I am The Man, from a distance.

Quote:No, because that's not PvP.Originally Posted by magnus1
is there no chance of getting a pvp recipe by killing spawns or taking down a bunker? in pvp zones i mean.
-
Unless I'm badly misunderstanding the OP's post, he's saying it DID let him start the respec, it DID let him pick the powers, it DID let him assign slots and it only failed when he tried to finish.

Quote:Correct me if I'm wrong, but most badges and accolades give ZERO reward. They're pretty similar to costume pieces except people have to take specific steps to see them.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
In the entire history of the game is there one example of players flocking to content that under-rewarded?

Quote:Intentional. AE content counts toward AE badges ONLY. It does not count to any other badges under any conditions - not even in Dev's Choice where you can get normal rewards. This includes badges for defeats/damage/held/healing/influence/etc.Originally Posted by panthera
I checked a few characters of mine, and got a clue.
It looks like that prestige earned within AE missions don't count.
Whether intentional or not I can't say. -
Quote:Absolutely. There are tons of us. However, broadcast is really not an efficient way to find teammates. Most of the action is within supergroups and on global channels.Originally Posted by Divine Lord Thundros EC
I guess my main question is, is there anyone that still plays the real missions in the Infinity server and if there is how come i never see them looking for teams because i only see people in the broadcast looking fo AE mishs.

Quote:Actually, having damage-dealers active made the farming that much more effective. Having enemies dealing damage came to a stop when there was an unannounced change to the gladiator AI. Previously, they could be set to just sit there and take the beating without counter-attacking (and killing off the opposing team). That was changed and having damage-dealers became impractical.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
* A large amount of testing went into various means to get the best possible return for the least effort. This testing revealed an aberrant pattern, namely arena targets at full health counted for the badge. At this point the previous method was dropped as being too difficult (having mesons was popular at one point).
On a related note, as we all know, Empath was reduced from 1 billion healed to 100 million, and Issue 16 will further reduce it to 10 million. This is a hundredfold reduction in the requirement. Who (besides me) thinks that this means they finally fixed the gladiators/arena so that healing undamaged targets is no longer counted? (Or healing in the arena is not counted at all, or perhaps gladiator healing no longer counts.) -
Quote:Please note that the Vanguard base has TWO different kinds of crafting tables: the regular invention tables and the Vanguard ones for buying items with Vanguard Merits.Originally Posted by Prof_Backfire
There's also Invention Tables, the thing required to make inventions, in the Vanguard base, and you can place them in your own supergroup base.

Quote:Every server has global channels specific to that server for teams, task forces, etc. Infinity, for example, has a channel called AE ANONYMOUS which is specifically for forming non-AE teams. I can tell you lots of other helpful channels on Infinity but that won't help if you're on another server.Originally Posted by Yikomaka
What is the best way to find teams to do missions and not AE farming?
Each server has a forum section dedicated to it, with all kinds of useful information. You could try asking in there what channels are recommended for your server. -
Okay, maybe I'm stating the obvious, but did another contact INTRODUCE you to him? If you just walk up to him without being sent to him by another contact, he'll basically tell you to go talk to someone else.

Quote:The point I THINK they were making, and I'm definitely stating, is this: just because it happened once is meaningless. Okay, so you can provide ironclad evidence about this one SG. Who cares? If one schmoe thinks he bought the Brooklyn Bridge, do we need to take precautions to ensure that never happens again?Originally Posted by Airman_America
Are you and the other guy above calling me a liar? Send me a private tell and I will give you the names. YOU can find the facts are very true.
Their point stands. GENERALLY SPEAKING, people don't buy influence to convert to prestige to buff their SG standing. It doesn't matter if one SG did exactly that. Generally speaking, people don't buy a car to see how many people they can run over before the police stop them. One outlying case does not allow us to draw conclusions and is not a reason to change the way we do things. -

Quote:How it 'looks' to any individual or statistically insignificant group is irrelevant. We have been told the numbers are up, by the only ones who actually know. Personally, I don't believe the devs are a pack of liars so I believe the numbers are up. Believe what you will.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
The argument here is really: are sub numbers up or down? It looks to many of us like they are down significantly.

Quote:Fixed that for you. The fact that there are a lot of threads means people find it an interesting topic of discussion. It may be good, bad or simply.... interesting.Originally Posted by DarkGob
Regardless, the system is clearly causing thrills and excitement, given how many threads people are starting over it.
Personally, I've gotten a lot of amusement from it. As an example:
Someone gave me -rep in a thread with the comment: aaaaaa
I thought that was funny and posted in the thread about it.
Minutes later, I had a +rep with the comment: bbbbbb

Personally, I don't do flashbacks for the merits because task forces are 'calibrated' by the devs for a higher rate of merit earning. The Positron task force is easily soloable (I've done it with a defender, controller, scrapper and tanker).
You need 3 on the team to start it, then one should quit the TF. The other person can then log out or shop in Wentworths or whatever. The TF will spawn for a team of two whether your 'anchor' is logged in or not. If the 2nd person quits, the TF will disband.
If you don't have to rest too much (I generally use a /regen scrapper), you can easily do it in under 3 hours. If you have any stealth ability, faster than that. If the other person helps, rather than just anchoring, even faster yet since it's spawning for two anyway (plus they get the merits).
As a final comment: once Issue 16 hits, you will have access to powers up to level 20 (i.e. STAMINA). -
To give a point of reference: I have an E6600 Core2 Duo, 2GB of RAM (WinXP) and a 7950GT graphics card. I often run two instances side by side in windowed mode on a widescreen monitor. I have AA and AF turned on, bloom turned off (it's ugly), world detail around 110% and character detail around 150%.
I would not want to try this in any raid or mass combat situation, but I can run missions this way with no problem. -
Quote:I was going to mention that. It's also worth mentioning that, if you get a mission that is truly onerous, you can drop it. You can drop one mission every 3 days (per character).Originally Posted by SwellGuy
You cannot hate it yet. Wait till you have to defeat X where X is 45 or higher Carnies in PI.
