  1. I'm enjoying an Ice/Storm Corrupter at the moment.

    No it's not. AoE (be that targeted, PBAoE, etc) attacks are one of the best places to put it as it has a chance of firing from each mob hit. Worst place to put that proc is a slow firing single target attack or a knockback toggle eg Repel.

    And if I had just won the lottery a world wide cruise round the world would seem pretty cheap to me. It's not cheap it's expensive. The more characters you have available the better return you get for your investment, but it is by no means cheap.

    Not so much they aren't cheap, more that the cheap ones are piles of crap... (Having tried that option...)

    Character Slots?

    I have a 3rd account which I created over a year ago for triple boxing with. My understanding of the number of slots available for Premium players was that you got 2 for a free account and an additional 2 for a purchased copy of the game. Is there a list I can refer to that details what confers extra character slots?

    Currently my 3rd account is showing as 2 slots only. Has 4 months played time (though only 3 reward tokens) and was created with a trial + retail code (probably bought through the NCsoft store rather than a boxed copy).
  6. It would be nice if you could trade them in directly for respecs and renames, both of which cost the same in points, and 1 a month/account I doubt will break anyone's bank.

    Or better yet make them worth their point total (800) which can be spent as normal but only on things that cost 800 or more, excluding power sets (make power sets 799pts). So you can offset to truly outlandish prices of some items (enhancement trays @ 1600pts WTF?).

    Servers down?

    Seriously, I get it... Just a bit narked that EU seem to bear the brunt of the downtimes. Lost out out yesterday, lost out today.

    And I get that scheduled downtime and publishes aren't the same thing, but in view of the fact that there have been so many prime time down times :/ in the last few weeks might be an idea to try and reduce them... or take them out of prime time times...

    Oh yeah and I know nobody is listening... but at least if I don't like how the devs run the game I can stop paying for it, politicians demand taxes even if they don't know their **** from their elbow...

    I have no idea tbh, I know it slots in there, but not if it works...

    Chance to Stun?

    One of the low level End Mod sets has a chance to stun which I use to great effect in several powers... however if it is slotted into Stamina (et al) does it stun the player?

    Servers down?

    Didn't they just eat 4 hours (or more) of Wednesday? Why on earth do they need another 2(4?) today?

    I thought the whole point of all the downtime prior to i21 release was to stop all these downtimes.

    <- Unhappy camper.

    Servers down?

    Not seen an announcement regarding this (and I've looked) is this a planned downtime or has something died?
  12. Tried all four t5s during beta.

    Afterburner: Great choice means I don't lag behind SS/SJ owning mates, plus I get an additional slot for a LotG +Recharge.

    Burnout: Depends on character but basically means (for me anyway) I can get up after dying and use all my self buffs immediatly.

    Long Distance Teleport: Haven't found a character that can fit this into their build yet. With no sets it can Mule, and lacking for me hero side so many zones, it'd just not worth the slot.

    Spring Attack: Looks good, but really isn't worth it on the majority of my characters, needs slotting to be of use and the characters that would use it don't have the spare slots to spend. Those that do (Looking at my defenders) don't want it. Only plus not for me is the fact I can slot a chance for +recharge from the knock back set. I have it on a farming brute (SS/FA) as an addition recharge proc and it's great for moving back into the centre of a mob, but really it isn't that great in any other respect.

    Cheap renames?

    I have a level 50 Controller who I don't (well hardly ever) play, who has a name that I want to reuse on a new character, but the price of a character rename is a bit steep (IMO). If I create a place-holder on a server without that name, transfer the 50 there. Will I get a free rename? I have two free transfers and I'm unlikely to use them for their intended use.

    Also is there a cool down for server transfers? If the above method works I'll use it to rename a main on my main account, but if I need to wait 30days (or something) before transferring back I'll wait until I know I won't be playing for a while.
  15. Ah missed that, I searched for Signature Story Arcs, not SSA. :/
  16. Is it possible to get .dat files for i21?

    Really want to export builds so I can work out updates.

    ((As for posting on titan forums... can't even get the page to load.))
  17. For cooldowns that last longer than a day (20 hours) or so.

    Either change them so that the reset at the same time each week. Or add a window I can see the length that remains before I can do something again.

    Mainly looking at the Signature Story Arcs but I don't doubt if there isn't anything else now there will be eventually. Have them reset the reward picks every Tuesday rather than after seven days. Or add some sort of visible timer so I can see at a glance who can do the arc for a decent reward without having to do the arc first. :/
  18. VIP account (t7), what sort of chance should I have for any inspiration drop?

    Reason I ask is on many of my lowbie characters insps drop as you'd expect. On many of my 20+s I either get virtually no t1 Insps or none at all. I do get some t2 and a few t3. Sorry not explaining this well.

    That is on characters under level ~20 insps (seem to) drop as normal. Once I get them above that it's almost like t1 insps almost stop dropping. I noticed this last night. Hit 25 got the new storage (five extra slots) and over the course of two more levels I got 1 drop (t2 red). On my fifties I now buy insps with every contact as I know I'll not get enough insps in missions to do anything useful.

    Ran hero stats during an UG trial, started with a tray of break frees (and bought more in mission) had 3 t3 insps drop, 8 t2 and 2 t1. Character was a level 50 +1 controller.

    This is since the launch of i21. And apart from the UG trial I have not been running hero stats so this is I suppose anecdotal evidence. I might just be unlucky but it does appear to be a change somehow. Other I spoken to in game don't seem to be noticing it. :/

    Not a great solution TBH, making it a toggle would be better. If you have a high mag placate you'd still be hitting them with AoEs if they're in the middle of a group.

    Make it a toggle and or make the visual change very different and easily obvious. Because that is still the biggest issue IMO that people cannot easily see that something is phased.
  20. Kinetic Melee - Animations feel far too long. It's like having a set with 9 shadow mauls in it, if they miss you spend all that time wiffing at the air.

    In fact any power that has a long animation but no better accuracy/damage than a short animation power. And by animation I mean the length of time you are performing one power that prevents you from doing anything else. Kinetic Melee is IMO particularly bad for this.

    Dark Regeneration - It's fine leave it alone best heal pretty much of any self heal in the game, fires fast, can be slotted with useful procs (+end for example). And if you have issues with the fear aura drop that. On my Dark/Dark brute my regen and Siphon Life (or whatever) more than make up for the damage done by the stun aura.
  21. Not sure if that answered q:2 but if not.

    Code:
    bind 1 "powexec_slot 1"
    bind 2 "powexec_slot 2"
    bind 3 "powexec_slot 3"
    bind 4 "powexec_slot 4"
    bind 5 "powexec_slot 5"
    bind 6 "powexec_slot 6"
    bind 7 "powexec_slot 7"
    bind 8 "powexec_slot 8"
    bind 9 "powexec_slot 9"
    bind 0 "powexec_slot 10"
    bind alt+1 "powexec_altslot 1"
    bind alt+2 "powexec_altslot 2"
    bind alt+3 "powexec_altslot 3"
    bind alt+4 "powexec_altslot 4"
    bind alt+5 "powexec_altslot 5"
    bind alt+6 "powexec_altslot 6"
    bind alt+7 "powexec_altslot 7"
    bind alt+8 "powexec_altslot 8"
    bind alt+9 "powexec_altslot 9"
    bind alt+0 "powexec_altslot 10"
    Copy/paste and save that as a text file in your root directory (eg C:\ or D:\), then in game do /bind_load_file c:\<name of file>
  22. 1)15 total I think. You get 12 per server plus by the sound of it three slots from other sources. Those three can be used on any server but only three slots in total. So two on Defiant and one on Pinnacle, Not three on Defiant 3 on Pinnacle.
    2)Think he is a generic Clockwork Warworks.
    Bonus: Go into the launcher and look under file -> settings -> advanced.
  23. I'd like to go back to Legendary dislike Renowned.
  24. Anyone got either a screenshot of her (as she is prior to being a contact) or better yet a good idea of what her various costume parts are? Or both.
