I don't finsih work until 8pm that day, by the time I get in at 830, I expect Hammi to have already fallen to your power.
If not, and there is space I will gladly join in. -
Quote:Careful Dante, you may have to dance again.
We had one player meet last year and that was a player organised event (with the very much appreciated support of Avatea and White Sands). The EU used to have official meets but not any longer since the disbanding of the EU Community Support staff. They would also attend Comic Cons and Movie/Game conventions, all useful for interacting with the players and getting support for the game. Since the EU offices were whittled down, there's been nothing of that kind since. All that's left is the forums and player organised events (and the occasional EU only competition).
Ultimately, the sole reason I play this game is because I attended the London Film and Comic Con of 2006, got a trail disc and had a play with the character creator there, and it was awesome. Seeing others there the next year, I think I spoke to Rockjaw for a bit was icing.
The best friend I have in this game I earned when I filled the last slot of a team going to Omega Sector, I had so much fun, I was supposed ot be wriing my dissertation that weekend :S
So for me, seeing a decline in prescence at these things, or even them just not happening, I remember Omega Sector was gonna be like an uber annual thing, is kind of sad. Not altogether unforgivable mind, we'd do well to remember that both our countries are coming out of recession, superfluous spending wouldn't exactly have been sensible.
But things are changing, maybe this or next london film and comic con you could get another stall, send that guy that made Dante dance in his underpants? Give out some freebies, hell, I'm sure you could staff the desk mostly on player volunteers so we have some more people to play with. -
Quote:I don't think it is unreasonable for us to want a Developer (as opposed to just a community rep - I know you guys are great but sometimes we want someone who can share a bit more info directly) to attend events set up for EU.Knowing those kind of restraints, and that we're working with a 8-9 hour difference, what kind of things do you, as players, feel are reasonable expectations from the developers?
I'm not expecting or asking for War Witch or Positron to take hours out of the middle of their working day, but someone could maybe spend an hour with us maybe "leaking" a lil bit additional info than what is "leaked" during NA-Dev interactions, so the community as a whole is encouraged to piece together the hints on new content etc etc.
Generally though I don't expect anything from the Dev team, as I've mentioned before, coming from Guild Wars who had Gail then Alex sent to fan forums to provide tdbits and a bit of interaction, the ready amount of interaction here is quite enjoyable, and while when the old forums was in place I would be singing "Devs to post on our side of the atlantic too!" thats not really a concern, and I definately thing the forum thing was a step in the right direction for making us feel like one community.
The trouble is, not every EU player would read the NA boards, so maybe we didn't know when we were missing out, by doing this, there may have been the player imagined obligation to do these events for us too! -
Quote:Yeah its tough being soft capped to smashing lethal running round in bodyguard mode barely ever tanking damage much less tasting floor while my demons dismantle even +4 enemies encountered in the new content with relative ease and safety.That isn't even close to what I would use. Doesn't even make sense.
if you want a build, as others have said, say how you want it to be optimised, you asked for a build, I gave you the build fo rwhat happens to be one of my most fun/powerful/destructive characters.
To Gimix: Its so easy doing almost anything I tend to get bored! Its hard to find a challenge, maybe Malta Sappers annoy me a bit, but other than that, I play this girl to unwind, shes basically easy mode. -
My build from live pretty much.
I find it very efficient and fun. I tank, I live when others do not and my pets have a hard time dieing.

I read the forums at all times of day generally, since I have an unusual work pattern day to day, week to week is entirely different, so generally I accept that forum communication with us wouldn't be that great... except it fairly is, we win at this a bit more than our American counterparts imo.
At the start of your normal office hours is when we (generally) start getting home from work, so thats when you guys will start posting, some players like myself on the outside of normality (i'm just getting ready to go to work now) won't hit that, but forum communicaiton isn't supposed to be instant.
When we had Bridger, All his posting would be done by the time we are starting to pick up. Having a community rep to be around for us 9am to 5pm would probably increase your costs, and I dont think anybody wants someone to have to work unsociable hours just to post for us...
I think the main problem that some of us have been quite vocal about is the lack of events like the Special Baf preview being aimed at us, it would be nice from time to time if we got things first (talking about bridger, when I read both forums, it was clear that sometimes we recieved some info first, which was, I admit, nice)
Also the Character Copy Tool never (ok rarely) working is kind of annoying when some of us would love to test things. Generally looking at the forum the "high end masterminds who are willing to test" are few and far between, myself and Master Zap i'm sure would love to make the tests for making new stuff include MMs easier. I know thats only 2 people, but still its one of my concerns.
If theres one thing to take from this thread on my opinion on things (which I think echoes to voice of the EU community) Server List Merge. There we go. Its what I want, its what I think most of us want. I know its hard to sort out, maybe impossible but it would go a long way for us all.
Anyway, thanks for creating this thread to get us chatting -
Having them slotted grants you a roughly supremacy sized aura which affects the pets, regardless of whether you have used the power with it slotted recently.
My Demons dark as all 4 slotted, and a thugs could do the same, Necro could achieve it to I think.
Theres no visual clue in the active powers of yourself or your pets, however each pet gets a ring of little purple or orange triangles circling them if they are within range.
However since the range is the same as supremacy, just make sure they are all in range of that. -
Yes.
-dmg being more potent than -tohit.
Lets say you have soft-capped defence...any -tohit is gonna be useless for the most part. Softcapping leaves enemies with 5% to hit you, the lowest it is allowed to be, so any -tohit is gonna be innefective.
If you have hardcap resistance then -dmg will still be effective, but I don't think very. I can't be bothered to try maths, but I think that the -dmg would be applied as the attack goes out, and then resistances applied when it comes in. So atleast small amount of -dmg compared to the potency of large amounts of resistance would probably only remove a further point or 2 of damage of big attacks.
How actually potent that is, I have no idea. -
Testing on Shards is gonna require a lot more than 10 missions, the RNG seems to do doolally with those things.
After logging in a few days ago I got 3 in the first mission, and then didn't see any for the rest of my play session until I joined a TF, and even then it was the last AV that was so kind to share. -
If i'm commited to being solo that session, ill look at my rewards tab, which doesn't get PMs.
I'll keep my global channels open and only switch back to seeing PMs if I PM someone out of the global channel.
Also, with the cahnges to how easy it is to communicate with people and figure out wahts going on, i'll ignore "invite me to your team now!" or anything on similar lines to that. -
Norse tends to be my pantheon of choice when it comes to looking at names. Thanks for inspiring altitis by giving me a few more!

I want to possible make one of those obnoxious comments about not having any doom while simultaniously nodding to the fact that I hate doom posts.
But isntead I'll try a rather arrogant commentary on that fact, as I just did, and then say, Yes its a fun game, and in general, the Devs are top notch in my book too!
Since all I played before this was Guild Wars where there was very little developer-community interaction, the nearest we got was a comunity rep sent to lurk the popular fan forums, its very nice the levels of communication we get on whats going on, and although the Beast Pack is about as high in my list of priorities as -something that would normally be low on a list of priorities- its nice that even a fringe area of enjoyment is being included because there was enough feedback for it. -
We could pretend we are underperforming and see what we get?
-
in the Incarnate Salvage area is the best place to look.
You've said first "TF of any kind" this week, so just want to double check, does that include SFs, if not, has that character ran a Barracuda this week? -
When new content is introduced there will always be a delay before the majority of the playerbase is able to complete it in a PuG environment.
Its all well and good saying "teams give up on the Apex and Tin Mage" but do you know waht their compliment was? How the team was arranged and whether they were even alpha'd.
Now if I look at the STF when it came out, it took me like 3 months to get a successful team through, that was with some of the more experienced unionite players, and my SG who were all very compotent players, but it just took a while to get down.
Flashback to last week, and I ran the thing so many times I lost count including on my then previous only level 50, and not a problem, even thew quickest arranged PuGs where I recognised few global names.
The same when Khan was put out, my first attempt was an utter failure.
It will be the same as this, people will fail alot, probably more because theres so many involved. But eventually the critical mass of experience vs new will pass, and people will start passing it.
Taking steps to prepare for the higher level enemies is a good thing, but in general, its just gonna be a time thing. -
With Magic not being covered by the current EATs and Praetoria havine a good Lore background of all the Magic going away recently, it would strike me as a brilliant place for story telling to introduce a Magic based EAT for Praetoria.
Some long lost (mu?) race returning having taken the magic, or some experiment by Cole who stole all the magic and placed it within some mad creation. -
Never Tried a CoP Trial.
Never got a blaster above level 25.
Never finished leveling a few 47 characters I really should just push the rest of the way.
Never had a problem with Trapdoor, even since his changes.
Never done that long Shadow Shard TF, and don't hope to!
Never got a "main" badger character -moLGTF on one, moApex on another etc etc.
Never got a Soldier of Arachnos up to level 20.
Never got around to organsing an All MM STF. -
We just got a New set.
But as regards to proliferation, anything is possible. /Rad would be a killer however, so i could see it being dulled down a bit.
No actual hints as far as I can tell, except for the latest Producer letter which said we will be gien reasons to keep making new characters. -
Its one of those things where it might not fit neatly into the normal defender niche, but if people understood that they wouldn't have any secondary debuffs when taking it, I don't see a problem.
-
Quote:Quick to judge, slow to forget...I reserve 1-Stars for repeat offenders. A 2-Star person can redeem themselves, but I'm always cautious of putting them in a position where they can repeat their actions (like making him the only debuffer on a long TF, for example).
To clarify, I don't count it as griefing, just poor behavior.
in otherwords, i'm mean! -

Quote:snip snip.We are committed to creating more and more reasons for you to both create new characters as well as...
Good, I'm very glad at that.
My deepest fear with the incarnate system and the excelent coverage of the new end game, and lets face it, I NEVER play(ed) my 50s, was that 50s would be all we would play. Even with the WST covering access to lower level TFs I was pretty afraid.
If this is a gentle hint towards new power sets and more proliferation, which with ourbourousousosulos, is all there is for there to be new characters, then I salute this idea, and it is my favourite part of the whole post.
Illusion for Doms!!
also, I think Incarnancy should be used as much as possible.
