it's just a density issue.

I was under the impression it was mostly about girth... and how you swing it around.

Ya, between people away in RL land and multiple accounts, that roster breaks down to about 16 people.

If that.

Thank goodness for the meldash fan club.
That attracts an extra 3-5 people to our vent on a nightly basis.
An additional treat... if they listen really hard, they can hear the soft musings of barrier screaming profanities into his mic.



soooo good.

Teams have to wait (up to 1 min) for all players to zone into match. If one team is still short after the 9 min mark, then they are fair game and have to play down a player.

-You can request 1 reset per match due to disconnects or not having all players in by the 9 min mark.


[/ QUOTE ]

Those 2 statements could be a bit more clear, but I think I understand what you're saying.
I'm assuming if a player DCs more than a minute into the match, that the team has to play a man down as well even if they haven't yet used their 1 reset option?

This game CAN tell the difference between someone thats logged off and someone thats QUIT the tf.

Therefore a better solution to softloading is to set spawn size to team size including logged off.

If someone quits the TF spawn sizes should adjust because they are not coming back.

[/ QUOTE ]
Possibly a good compromise. But only if the ability to kick logged out players is also added.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nope, posi said he wants you to complete the TF as a team, or not at all. Read his justification for this change, he's clear about that much.

I actually Keep one of my toons parked in the ice mistral TF now. Its good money.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm and good drops too I bet.
Which mission? the last one? I should try that out on my dom.

It's helpful when reasons for adjustments are explained. We're all assuming that this change came about due to the CapSF (and I think correctly so), but it really limits the "discussion" when changes aren't explained fully.

Just recently I soloed every single TF heroside for the accolade, on 2 accounts. Is this an exploit?
I'm not at all into the story-line, and I've played for over 2yrs now and have done about all the content I really feel like going through. At this point, I'm just doing it for the accolade. Should I not be allowed to do this? Should I be doing it for the camaraderie instead?

Most TFs, solo, were still really tough, and I had to get shivans on a couple of occasions to help kill the AV. Soloing the TFs was, arguably, tougher than getting a team together. Jurassic was the only AV I had 2 friends help me with, and he went down the fastest thanks to that.
Personally, I think you should get bigger rewards for soloing TFs, but hey, what do I know.

This change will make it impossible for me to get TF Commander on future toons, on my own. Which means I'll have to wait for friends to be able to do this at the same time as me, or take my chances with a pug, which might take an exceeding amount of time to setup.
This is time waiting, organizing, instead of playing.

This particular TF/SF nerf relates directly to capSF (IMO)... so why not specifically change the capSF, just like you specifically changed quickKaties?
I recall the quickKatie nerf was much more widely accepted by the playerbase. OTOH, this is turned out to be 65pages of hate.



just sayin.

Do I really need to wait its been my account for years but i mainly have heroes on it.

Per league rules, yea... but no UJLer would contest it if you came with a toon on that account (perhaps a new /EA stalker? )

Don't sweat it bring what you want, see ya sunday.

Yep so I'm not reading 17pages of this thread, but here's my feedback:

1- Server Status over the weekend:
- freedom - at peak hours, greyed out for 40% of the weekend, red all other times.
- virtue - never greyed out, red almost the whole weekend at peak hours.
- protector/victory - green most of the weekend, yellow at peak hours.
- all others - consistently yellow.

2- Suggestion
Stating the obvious: Freedom needs an upgrade. It's by far the most populated server, so that server needs to be bigger to allow for it to never EVER be greyed out.
Virtue could also use this.

Overall though, the servers were much more stable than last year (do we remember when 1 server was actually completely OFFLINE for several hours, and when freedom kept kicking people off and it would take 1-2hrs to log back on?) The subscribers were not happy.

GJ devs... great improvements so far, less lag overall and better server stability.
Just increase freedom's capacity and we'll be good to go for next year.

Do you mean to say 'DAM' instead of 'ACC' in the parts I've bolded above?
Other than that, thanks for the clarifications.

Obviously this will turn out to be a much more complicated evaluation process when factoring in full set bonuses, but this is a good start on straight up %s and ED.

Thanks for the binds/macros.

Quick question, have you tested these poses with the raptor pack, goldbricker rocket pack, sky raider flight pack, etc...?

i.e. is this possible and does it work:
/bind F "$$e flypose4$$e flypose3$$e flypose2$$e flypose1$$autorun 1$$powexectoggleON Raptor Pack"

Just a scenario that actually happened to me today: I was playing on a team of three. I had absolutely no toggles running except for Sprint and I was showing the team leader a hidden glowy. It was on a platform thingy close to the ceiling and he had a hard time finding it. Well, the room we were in was rather larger but we had emptied it and there was a spawn in the next room that our third was waiting near to attack.

[/ QUOTE ]

Back to the OP, in some missions, the glowie is the 'focal' point of the mission. Once the glowie is 'clicked', any mobs nearby (as well as potential ambushes) will swarm to that location, or to whomever clicked on it.

Not saying this is what necessarily happened, but something you may well want to consider for that particular example.

I can only comment on the elec/ice powerset for a blaster... and in that particular case, I completely disagree with the OP.

My lvl 50 elec/ice blaster is unbelievable.... I still marvel at how good he is. He deals sooo much damage and controls sooo well. The only problem I ever have is against CoT and carnies, but I think thats the same of any AT.

I wouldnt want the devs to change anything of those primaries or secondaries.

My elec/ice blaster uses mostly these:
- 2 holds which stack (Tesla Cage and Freezing Touch)... both are 2-slotted for accuracy. I hold bosses with them... very rarely miss either attack.
- A long-range attack (zapp) which I use to very effectively pull for my team... or to finish of +1/+2 lieutenants who have about 1/3 hp left.
- A great soft control (Ice patch) enables me to solo, or if on a team, enables me to act as controller on small mobs. Almost nothing will resist Ice patch, except those golden robotic arachnids and Elite Bosses/AVs.
- 1 great melee attack (Ice sword)
- 2 great ranged attacks (Charged bold/ Lightning bolt)
- A pet (voltaic sentinel)... a pain to maintain, but still a nice assistant with great dam:end cost ratio.
- Another soft hold (shiver) which is, I feel, overpowered, as the slow effect is crippling to large mobs.

Round all that off with the Force mastery for added toughness to your squishee blaster, and you'll be quite a formidable opponent.

The only ATs that outlive me on missions are Tanks.
But lets be fair... I would expect those to outlive all ATs.
The fact that I'm second in line sounds pretty good to me.

Things elec blasters are advised to do is get BU, Aim, and AoEs for extra damage and endurance drain.
I ignored ALL that... and went more for the damage/controller aspects... My first build had all the AoEs and I died A LOT.
This build controls small groups and kills quickly... but safely and one at a time. I can 2-shot even-lvled lieutenants, and one-shot minions.
And if you still run into a lot of aggro, pop Force Of Nature and you're a tank (well almost: 55% resist to all but psionics) for 2 minutes.
Or PFF (if you have time to pull it off) and run like heck.

The only 'fix' I would recommend, if the devs really wanted to do something, is change defiance.

I think the universal opinion on this is that it's worthless.
I've ignored it for 50 lvls, and Im happy to ignore it until I retire him.
Just not sure what you could replace it with, and to be honest, I've never needed anything to replace it.

But I wouldnt got through the trouble of changing anything for just that.
I say leave well enough alone.

But thats just my personal experience with my one blaster.
