Justice Blues

The idea is, you didn't want to spend $10 for the Martial Arts booster because you only wanted Ninja Run and that was too much for one power and a bunch of costume and emotes that didn't appeal to you. Now you can buy just Ninja Run for 500 points and skip all the other stuff you don't want. Bingo, you spent less money.

Now if you actually wanted everything in the booster and didn't buy it before the end of August? You are SOL. But they told everyone here on the Forum that the parts in the booster would be more expensive in the Market before they stopped selling them. And they had sales on all of them this last summer. (Which started the week after I picked up the packs I was missing. ) So unless you started playing in the last 3 or 4 weeks, you had plenty of opportunity to pick up the boosters before the prices went up.

I though it was just my old system. If you can't see the obelisk on a more modern one, then yes it needs to be changed. Especially since the entrance pop up says you can see it.

Wait? What? What vision? In one of the missions? Or did I miss something in one of the clues?

Zwillinger has said the later arcs are higher level and will get longer. I would guess that they set a standard price for the arcs and that is what they cost, no matter the length. So 400 for 3 missions is not that great, but when it is level 50 and 10 missions, it will still be 400 points.

First, your powers are still slotted. You don't lose any enhancements. A 50 exemped down to 20 is far better off than a level 20 with the same powers. You have more slots in the powers, the enhancements still work (Not as well, but they do work), and the level 50 also has his powers from level 22 and 24 to use.

I managed it on a fire/fire blaster at level 11, so it is not like it is impossible to do. I didn't even have to fight any ambushes, just ran and hit the glowies as fast as possible. And that was without using any purples, stealth or any kind of defenses.

You realize, they still won't be able to have as many badges as you. They can get all of the Reward Token badges, but there are still badges associated with how long you have been subscribed. And they only count time passed, not pre-paid subscriptions. So as along as you keep paying your subscription, they can't catch you.

Actually, they do not unlock the character, they unlock the slot. So they can unlock an empty slot and create a new character or they can unlock a slot that has an existing character in it. They can then play the character or delete it and create a new one. This means they can use a global unlock on a controller, MM, Praetorian, EAT or locked powerset, despite not being able to play them. They would then have to either delete the character or purchase the required license to play it.

What she said. I am not anywhere near 45% on my 50 and I am regularly soft capped on defense, plus at 90% on resistances, which I am also not close to normally.

I have it already also. And it still shows up on the in-game console where you exchange Vanguard merits as something I need to buy. I think that one is just messed up in the database somewhere.

Actually, I don't think it does for the original idea. Posi's last statement from the UStream said they had looked at powerset respecs and it would be possible but take huge amounts of time/manpower, so highly unlikely, but that AT and origin changes were flat out impossible. The impression I got was they would have to basically rewrite the game from scratch. So Origin changes, not happening.

I would think most (No not all, some people seem to be driven to be jerks.) farmers were like the idea. The biggest complaint most folks have is the farms drowning out the real story arcs. If the farms are in their own section, that complaint would be taken care of and the farmers have the chance to find the best farming arcs, without accidentally getting some stupid story arc. IOW, their own self interest would push them toward using the system correctly.

The problem of course is first, getting the programming/graphics time for the changes to the UI. Then the decision about what to do with the current arcs. Wipe out all except for the Dev's Choice or try sorting them into categories as it. The first has the advantage of being easy, but there would be some cost of loss of arcs where the author has left the game. Probably not many, since older arcs are likely to have become broken over time, but still some. The second would avoid that, but at the cost of a horrendous workload trying to go through all of the arcs and determining what goes where. Actually, I doubt it would even be possible. Even doing a search on Farm would result in inaccuracies, with some farms not having that in the title or description and some story arcs using it.

This is the way to do it. I don't pick the powers exactly the same way I did the first time I went from 1 to 50 (It has been 7+ years. And I know more about the powers now then I did the fist time through. ) but they are picked at the appropriate level, so they are readily available when I exemp down.

It does not completely ignore the difficulty settings. I have ran it twice on my 50. First time was at 0+4 and I had huge spawns, all the way through all the missions. (And I missed the fact I was getting hit with ambushes the first time. I haven't aggroed that many mobs since the aggro cap was put in. Was a good time. ) Second time, I lowered it to O+1 and had 3 mob spawns all the way through. Much faster that way.

Thanks for the correction, I must have misunderstood the posts I read.

I don't know of any other store to buy IOs in.

You are right. I just made it up, I came here and lied on the forum about something that everyone with an account can easily check for themselves. Cause that is just the way I roll.

Looks more like they are progressing the story along in levels. And using the Minions of Igneous meant they could not go to a higher level. The Minions cap out at level 20. And since the Lost change to Rikti at level 30, even without the Minons they could not have gone higher than 25 or 26.

Your enhancements are not harmed at all by exemping. They are not as powerful, but the proportions are the same. And their values will not be hitting the ED cap, meaning that you would actually be getting the full benefit of everything they do, which you aren't getting at 50.

I could swear I actually got hit while interacting with the rocks, and they kept on working.

Or just do Lost missions at regular difficulty, since missions have a variable level for mobs. But the fact that the Rikti take over from the Lost and go up to 50 does not help in this arc, since the story is about the Lost obeying their Masters. It is not a story about the Rikti, it is a story about the Lost before they make the change.

On new accounts the Cutscene channel is automatically included on the tabs. It is us old-timers that don't have it. What you can do is set up a character with all the chat channels the way you want them, then go into Options>General, all the way at the bottom. Save your Chat channels to the default file. I always make sure that the results show up in the System channel twice to be sure it is there. On new characters, the channels should load automatically from now on, although sometimes I have to specifically load them. On old characters, go in and load them manually.

It also doesn't work on the store bought IOs.

My attacks are going to be 5 slotted, not 6. Going from 6 slotting Crushing Impact to 4 slotting Kinetic Combat +1 Mako makes a difference in everything. Only 5% - 10% in damage & recharge, with a big bite out of Accuracy (Which Rage will handle, so no big deal), but I hate giving up DPS. Which is why I will have a separate Trial build. It isn't like my damage output is needed on those.

Solo, it is sub-optimal defenses, 6 slotted attacks and a T3 Musculature Alpha. Until I finish the second T3 anyway.

You will get Global Slot tokens, you may already have some look at the top of the character selection screen on any server, that you can use to unlock any character of your choice or an empty slot to create a new character in.

But if you want to play a Controller, MM, VEAT, or HEAT, you have to have those unlocked as well. So if you want to play your Arachnos Soldier, you need to unlock the slot and have the Villain EATs unlock from the Paragon Market.

A new 6th tier power for the Flight Pool?

I am slowly putting together a Trial build that will have Tough and Weave in it and capping my defenses. What I don't like about it is the way it hurts my attacks. But on Trials I am lucky to get in 2 or 3 hits on spawns before everything is melted anyway, so I am willing to lower my damage a bit for that.

I don't believe it is necessary to have everything maxed to contribute to anything in the game, and I enjoy my supposedly underpar regular build, so I am not in any hurry to finish the Trial build. And if I put it off long enough, maybe Synapse can get the other 3 slots in the game. That would make things a lot easier.

Yes, "scream and leap" at first contact would certainly have been a different reaction than humanity got from the Vulcans. Especially since it would have been repeated at 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and later encounters, until the Puppeteers finally got their "reasonable" Kziniti. Might have made humanity a bit less trusting of Vulcans, Andorians, etc.

I don't have the Fighting pool and only Aid Others from the Medicine pool. I can only cap my resistance by hitting Unstoppable and my defense popping purples. So I am forced to do missions at only 2x4 rather than x8 and I die occasionally on trials. (Mostly Keyes ) Obviously not nearly as tough as I could be, but still feel powerful powering through missions.

Yeah, Inv gets better.
