Quote:There's a quick answer to this problem: don't play tank, it's not aimed at the playstyle you enjoy.Originally Posted by Johnny_Butane
And it helped ever so much. I can just shrug off those Battle Maiden blue patches and fight on through. It's completely worth the low damage. /sarcasm
It's nice that I'm now expected slot and spam an attack that still does terrible damage for the "privilege" of buffing the damage of the Scrapper/Brute next to me who gets to laugh behind my back at the damage I do, in addition to protecting them and making sure they don't even have to feel their lower defenses and experience any kind of drawback or trade off for their damage. /extra sarcasm -

You mean like kiting Ghost Widow in the STF using taunt and any ranged attacks you might have? If you do that she basically never fires off her PBAoE heal as long as the Tanker maintains aggro and distance.

Quote:heck, the easiest way to beat Ghost Widow is to have a tank lead her in a game of ring around the rosy without getting closer than taunt range so that she never triggers her heal and everybody else pounds on herOriginally Posted by Inazuma
This improved mentality isn't that new. I think the Protean fight brought this about earlier in the year. He's not an EB you can stand next to and just beat down. You have to stay on your toes and move around in order to fight him, else he just heals off you.
run and gun is possible in this game...you just need to practice it
if I understand right, the patch is just that he doesn't leave the room anymore...so, he'll be just as hard for me as he was the first time, when I beat him without dying and without leading him out of the room, solo...without really even being in danger the whole fight...it was a long fight, and required a specific strategy that it gave you a lot of clues for, but it wasn't impossible or even really hard once you figured it out
first time I did that mission as a team, we charged into the room, I put myself on clone hunting and, twenty seconds later the battle was over with me only ever finding one clone -
I got caught up in looking for part-time work as well as my finishing some writing contract projects and was so far only able to get my fire-blaster to 11, as such, might bow out myself...sorry

hmm, maybe I can update Smaugdottir's look and get her over level 8 by then...
I'd almost consider rerolling her as either a dom or a corruptor if that wouldn't make it almost impossible to have her involved by friday...without a LOT of powerleveling and plowing through content -
Quote:hmmm, haven't noted the Sleeper, and yeah, I'm surprised I didn't think of the KheldsOriginally Posted by rian_frostdrake
actually, if i recall, the mi-go were described as looking like winged horeshoe crabs. but yeah, the coralax and particularly their goddess merluna seemed very lovecraftian.
actually one people tend to not think about is "a shadow out of time" where te time and space traversing entities that inhabit the yithian "rugose cones" of prehistoric earth seemed a lot like kheldians. they are formless space beings that take over the bodies of host entities (like the creatures that were the novas and dwarves) kelds are a bit better about asking first. also, the sleeper of dark astoria reminded me of "the shunned house"
I did recognize the Zerg-Protoss parallels between the DE and the Rikti as well. -

Quote:huh, my love/hate relationship is with the sudden endurance burning when you're suddenly clicking through powers faster than you need to.Originally Posted by Hot_Head_Mike
Hasten, great power makes many builds so much better but the flaming fists... I HATE THEM
No but seriously have the devs ever discussed adding a minimal FX to hasten?
I considered getting hasten for my BS/SR, but she's already at an inherent 45% recharge boost and that's more than enough for her to always have an attack on hand, in fact, she rarely uses all her attacks anymore...
Hasten would improve her build up and elude recharge times, but that's it...not really worth the endurance burn.... -
I love making characters and its a way for me to keep in contact with family and friends in other cities...

Quote:Oh, I don't dislike the auras...I just felt it was an odd departure from the to-date party line on what natural is.Originally Posted by Feycat
I for one am THRILLED they're finally giving something for the rest of us. Not ALL characters are about martial arts and guns, and there's at least three powersets that rely heavily on the whole "power of nature" theme.
Personally, I prefer Natural for my sorcerers and magicians because the end enhancement set for magic involves gathering power directly from various entities, which is a rather specific variety of magic myself. I prefer the Dresden approach where it is your own force of will, not the favor of Hermes or something. -
Sooooo
Natural isn't about martial arts, guns and training anymore?
It's about the fury of nature? -
Quote:Crossroads was all but abandoned for a while, recently has new management and they're trying to build it up again starting with a moderately ridiculous new name.Originally Posted by Shatterghost
I thought there was a decent store in Rivercenter mall, but if i go to San Antonio, its usually for the Central Market or La Cantera. (Corpus Christi here)
Is Crossroads really that big?
Ooples is pretty awesome though...lots of cool shirts. -

For anybody in the San Antonio area or going to be in the San Antonio area this weekend, the manga/anime/memorabilia store "Ooples" is celebrating its recent expansion with a grand opening this weekend.
http://ooples.com/
Ooples is located at the "Wonderland of the Americas" Mall, which most of us locals know as the Crossroads mall at Loop410 and I10. They're in the Marketplace portion of the mall near the center of the area, by some green and pink columns, I think.
They're having games, tournaments in various card and video games.
And I'm going to be there to sell and sign my books as well. -
I tend to wonder sometimes if imagination is simply a glimpse at an alternate reality. In which case, I'm not really responsible for their suffering, I'm just witnessing it.

I played out of Korea from third-wave beta through to launch and then until 2005 when I came back to the States...I had no problem doing that at all.
In addition, if latency is what causes command lag and rubberbanding, I get that frequently here in San Antonio, Tx -
Quote:YesOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
So here is my question to you, and those of you who skipped to the end, start reading now: Do you need your games to provide a fun experience with trivia, background, secrets and lore, or are you more interested in playing a fun game and following an engaging, but not necessarily plot-heavy story? -

Quote:they even named said reset button SCARLET WitchOriginally Posted by Hyperstrike
I mean, don't get me wrong. Occasional retcons can be done. Great, fine and wonderful. But Marvel just has a penchant for pulling out the Big Red RESET button way, WAY, WAY too often.
I mean seriously, Spider-Man is what? Three? FOUR levels of total, universal retcon deep at the moment?
The only two things more overused than retcon in the universe are Deadpool and Wolverine.
though I haven't seen too much of Wolverine lately, so I'm thinking his overuse has become more assumed than actual
