I've been wanting the ninja pack for a long time now, hopefully it will be on sale
-
I have a Cold/Sonic Defender who will be 50 very soon. I rolled this guy for one reason, I want to beat up Giant Monsters and AVs solo. I even named him Gamebreak, because he'll be so powerful he effectively "breaks the game"
To me, the pinnacle of power in this game has to be defeating something that was designed for full teams or even multiple teams to defeat by yourself. While its in-game rewards might be pitiful, it's just freakin' epic.
Not looking for a specific build just yet, but I am completely new to the idea of building to solo AVs and GMs. What specific attributes should I be building for? Right now I'm thinking soft-capped S/L Defense and as much Recharge as possible.
Anyone have any experience with Cold Domination for this task? I know Sonic Blast is the go to set for most AV/GM soloers, but I haven't found a lot to read about Cold in that regard. Benumb seems like the key power with it's -Regen.
And finally, what epic set helps out the most? Right now I'm leaning towards Mace Mastery so I can get Scorpion Shield, all that S/L Defense will give my build a lot of room to work with.
Thanks, and any advice on general AV/GM soloing is much appreciate. -
Quote:Are they saying no power pool customization now, or is it just plain not happening? The current pool power graphics really get on my nerves now that all my regular powers are perfect for my concepts. I sincerely hope they're working on it.Originally Posted by Angelxman81
I though it was going to be a costume discussion too.
Me sad.
No power pool customization. (Give us a non FX option for the speed pool!)
No martial ars secondary.
No animated faces, hands and hair.
Btw, I need I19 NAO. So many builds to revamp, so little time! -
Quote:Wanted to reiterate this problem because Virtue invasions are still not working properly. Waited around for an hour and a half last night, no invasions. I logged on this morning to see the "Rikti are retreating..." announcements from two zones, waited around for an hour and no Invasions were announced.Originally Posted by Lightslinger
Two times today I've logged on for the Rikti raids, I have 2 scrappers who need their rikti swords. Earlier today I was able to participate in one raid, then my team and I waited around for 30 minutes hearing no other raids. Team fell apart and I hung around another half hour, heard nothing.
Tonight I've been logged in for an hour now and no raids. There has been a Zombie Attack, Halloween Banner, and a Fire in Steel but no Rikti. This is on Virtue by the way.
...this seriously sucks.
I sincerely hope this is not working as intended because if it is I will likely not be able to get the accolade on the two characters I want it for. -
Virtue still appears to be having the same issue today.
-
We're apparently doing too good of a job beating up Rikti because the Rikti invasions this weekend are...sporadic at best so far.
What I'm seeing on Virtue is lots of invasions, 2 or 3 zones being invaded simultaneously then nothing at all for hours.
The first time I played today I was able to participate in one raid. I waited around for the next one, and waited, and waited and nothing. Probably about an hour total I saw with no invasions.
Logged in tonight at 8:15 to get some Rikti stabbin' on, it is now 9:37 and I have yet to see a single Rikti raid happening. There has been a Zombie attack, a Halloween Banner and a fire in Steel, but no Rikti.
I remember that during invasion weekends past you could pretty much maintain an Invasion team, hopping from zone to zone fighting off new invasions. There might've been quick downtimes here and there with no invading, but nothing like this.
This all happened on Virtue, are any other servers experiencing this? I've got a few alts that need that Watchman accolade for weapons, so lets get this fixed ASAP please. -

Planning a Sonic/EM Blapper right now, anyone have experience with this combination?

Thanks, I didn't realize the emote was supposed to reworded like that, I kept typing in herostance2. I appreciate the help.

Hi, I've got a character that I want to put in Hero Stance 2 whenever they're just standing (Hovering actually) still. Is there a way I could make a Macro button so I could just hit that instead of having to type it out or choose it from the menu all the time?
Please forgive my incredibly newbness to macros and binding and thanks in advance. -
Woohoo, thanks for this! I'll be getting my Katana and Broadsword scrappers ready to grab those Rikti Swords.

Quote:It's definitely bad business. And I'm not advocating that NCSoft stop using them for events, conventions and contests, just give those of us who don't have access to those avenues a better way to get them.Originally Posted by Lothic
One would think NCsoft could probably make a good deal of money if they sold these things directly instead of letting people generate an eBay market for them. But for whatever reason they still want to keep these things "exclusive" to events, conventions and contest prizes.
-
I just got the PPD Hardsuit while Trick or Treating. Hovering around with those jets firing while blasting away is just too cool to lose in a couple of weeks when the Halloween event is over.
The costume code contests were a great way to get some codes out to the players, alas I was always at work when the codes were released. I don't have the spare money to make it to a convention to get the codes they typically give out.
My proposal is simple, NCSoft, add costume codes to the store. Sell them for $4.99. Yes, that seems steep, but right now I'd have to either travel to a convention (and still not get the specific code I want) or pay extortionist prices for the codes on eBay. $4.99 is a steal compared to those options.
NCSoft, you're missing out on my sweet, sweet American dollars. Sell at least some of the more popular codes on the store and watch the money roll in. -
More capes and auras available at character creation means I'll be getting this post haste. I hope this is early November.

Costume Code Booster you say?
(hey, makes more sense than an emote pack ) -

Power Customization feels like an incomplete addition to the game without all power pools being customizeable. PC is a big deal and a huge addition to the game, it doesn't deserve to be left unfinished. -
Praetor Tillman...er, I mean, the Community Reps are surely aware of this evil topic which will inevitably cause civil unrest amongst the population. We can't have citizens discussing other games, are you people mad? ::guzzles Enriche::

These forums have never acted right for me. Now I just click Last Page of a thread and read back until I find where I stopped, because trying to go to first unread never works

Just for the record, what we've said publically is that the team has refocused and redoubled efforts on taking npc groups and creating commensurate player costume parts whenever technically possible (See: Resistance, Clockwork, and PPD). You'll see more of this in the future as well.
Converting older parts is certainly POSSIBLE, but it's not something we've commited to. -
Quote:No problem, I appreciate the clarification, thanks.Originally Posted by theOcho
Sorry about the confusion, but yes they have been removed for everyone not already using them.
It's always hard walking the balance between being unduly verbose and expressing things in a manner that adequately conveys the intended meaning. Definitely a challenging part of the job, and I'll work on it! -

You didn't even read my post, did you?
MAKE THEM LIKE THE RULARUU WEAPONS
In other words, any one of the options I listed, not all of them.
Yes, two of the options would be limited to level 45+ characters. The option for raids would still exist. And "one or two other options" because I couldn't think of any other appropriate badges, except maybe the monkey badge. And as others have said, that's probably too easy. All you'd need is a level 50 friend and 20 minutes in PI while the friend AOEs monkeys, and you could have it at level 1.
Can most of us agree that MORE OPTIONS for earning the Rikti Unlockables is the way to go?
My proposal:
The following will unlock Rikti Weapons
-Watchman Accolade (3 Invasion Based badges)
-Any of the Mothership Raid Badges
-Finishing LGTF
-then globally unlock them (jk, know its not going to happen but its worth a shot)
Not going to include it with my official proposal, but I'd also like to see Rikti Invasions happening more often. Not full blown Invasion weekends all the time, just some random invasions here and there. Have these invasions happen in mostly lower traffic zones and you will avoid bothering those who don't want to participate.
Edit: I also support Zookeeper unlocking Rikti Weapons, how could you not kill a thousand monkeys and NOT find something cool in there? -
I concede to Shadow as I hadn't considered that they could remove the option from the game without removing it from those who were already using it.
Terminal Velocity, excellent use of large font, allow me to large font the part that had me confused.

Quote:Zombie, you must have missed this announcement by Ocho earlier in the thread:Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Because the Firefly and Snow Auras were not intended for Issue 18. They will be available as part of Issue 19.
When parts of the database show up where they should not be showing up, it can cause much bigger problems (like a character's DB becoming corrupted and unavailable).
Also, the auras were missing for the female model and the snow aura looked bad. It was unfinished work.
And, as the Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning previews have shown, that when something gets released early, people stop counting it as belonging to the Release it belongs to. You don't know the number of times people claimed GR was too light in content and those same people almost always forgot to include Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning as being part of GR.
Which linked to this announcement. I took that to mean that the auras, for those that have them, would be left in. The patch notes seem to indicate different.Quote:Originally Posted by theOcho
Regarding the issue of "pre-releasing" content, I completely agree. The early release of Dual Pistols and Demon Summoning probably hurt Going Rogue more than helped. Bad marketing department, bad! -
Ocho, quick question...
Why do the patch notes for tomorrow's patch say:
Quote:Removed Firefly and Snow Auras which were not intended for Issue 18. They will be available as part of Issue 19.

Quote:I think most people (and I know I am) are saying they should be tied to other things along with the Invasions. Get the invasion accolade? RIKTI WEAPONS! Kill 1,000 Rikti Monkeys? RIKTI WEAPONS! Complete the LGTF? RIKTI WEAPONS! Something like that.Originally Posted by Feycat
I would rather see it left tied to the invasions than tied to a TF or raid. At least the invasions aren't level gated.
