The only booster I truly regret purchasing was the Party Pack. Maybe the devs can kick everyone who bought that pile of a crap 50% of our money back on Cyber Monday.

I feel used and abused.

Dammit... I missed the new Praetorian arc!
Work kept me from Isos yet again, but my steady cheating grinding A-merits and running Ham TFs has me ahead of the target.

Looks like the Kheld and Dom bugs forced a delay till after Thanksgiving.
The good news is I can PL my Iso to 50 by then! w00t w00t!

Quote:I thought Shards weren't tradeable. Which will at least mean people will have to work on all the different 50s they want to craft boosts for, rather than farming with one toon.Originally Posted by Desmodos
When I left CoH, 800 million influence was plenty. Now, 6 months later, most of the folks I team with need to move Influence on to their alts because their capped out. Shards will be no different.

Quote:Look at it this way: if everyone is busy Alphaing out their 50s and running the new TFs, who's going to be left to team with in the sub-50 game? Will groups like Isolators have a place in the New World Order? Attica Attica!!Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
And if you aren't interested in Incarnates and do want to still make new alts like there is no tomorrow, nothing has changed there.

Eh, anyhow, just starting to look more chore like to me. The journey to 50 is what the game is about, but with hints of End Game coming, the journey doesn't look as fun any more.
Where were you when I needed you in the Cosmic Power thread?!
Flux, get this woman luxury accommodations in Doomopolis immediately!
Welcome to the club!

Quote:The problem is what if they release it and there's something seriously wrong with the launch? They don't want to have the devs do crunch patching work over Thanksgiving.Originally Posted by Knightfox
Most people don't take the whole week off, or business would shut down the whole week. I know where I work we're limited to how many can take vacation in a specific department at one time so we don't compromise our productivity. I'd say most (exempting retail, emergency and food service) get off the four day weekend.

Quote:They definitely aren't all released on Tuesdays, but they rarely if ever are released on Thursdays or Fridays.Originally Posted by CatAstrophy
Don't think that all Issues were released on Tuesday (can someone check that, saw post couple of issues ago when were which release), so Thursday is also possibility. Still hoping for this week so I can start respecing.
-
Quote:I saw that this morning. It looks like the issue was fixed in a recent patch, but we may not be getting I19 today.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
I thought you mentioned respeccing, but hopefully you've kept up with the patch note discussions regarding Khelds and respecs (and from how I'm reading it, just overall issues with Khelds and powers overall). I was thinking of you.
Don't think there is an issue with incarnate slots however.
-
Yeah, Khelds not being able to re-spec is a huge issue... especially since my all-human Warshade is going to be my first Alpha toon.
-
I had the impression that I19 was going Live today, but I don't see any announcements about timing, so I guess it's not?

This thread went to 11 while I wasn't looking.

Could be worse. He could have thought it was a seven.

Quote:I always thought that was the question mark.Originally Posted by MedievalPower
Question. Why did you choose the thumbs down icon for the thread?
Now that I notice the blue circle with the question mark, I can't change it. -
I'm pretty sure I want to Alpha my all-human Warshade first, although I'm not exactly sure which boost to go for. I might do the recharge one.
I also want to Alpha my DP/Psy Blaster; I don't think anything can help with his squishiness, but at least he'll do more damage.
Finally, once my Hero Stalker Isolator hits 50 I'm going to Alpha her, either with damage or with something that gives +Def at the higher boost levels. -
Quote:I'm not thinking of myself, GP... I'm thinking of all the poor people who don't have time to devote to a TF, or just don't like playing in a group. I assume they're out there somewhere, and they're hurting.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
What? You run TFs all the time. Just run any of the level 50 ones and you're golden.
-
Quote:Okay, well assuming you don't want to/can't run Task Forces? I'm curious of the time it takes to do this purely with Shard drops... soloing... on a Defender.Originally Posted by Chyll
Task Forces are the key, though. You get a component at the end, and an increased drop rate team while you go through the missions.

I remember the good ole days where you would back up the Devs no matter what, using any rationale whatsoever to try to lash back at any dissension.

Quote:That's good to hear! 32 sounds like a lot, but if the drop rate is reasonable enough, then it's not so bad.Originally Posted by Chyll
Ridiculous? hardly. one weekend of average play (a few hours saturday and sunday) got me enough.
-
Quote:Yeah, I saw this developing in the Beta forums. On the one hand I feel it's a little bit of a gyp, but on the other I won't have to grind 4,892 shards to build Rares or Very Rares.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
To go along with that, Ocho posted that not all the Alpha boosts will be in I19
-
A four day Open Beta?
Anyone want to help me out with mission 3 of the Ramiel arc tonight?

Quote:It all depends on the drop rate. If shard drops are in the purple range (fairly certain they are not, but it illustrates a point), then it is in no way casual friendly, as you'd need to log 50 (hypothetical) hours to get enough shards to do anything. If they were that rare, then people would definitely stick to the TF method to get their salvage.Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
Mental, from what I have read, the regular salvage can drop from any mob in the 50 range. So this really is casual friendly and you don't have to worry about this being "grindy."
Even at a more reasonable drop rate, you need 32 shards to make an Uncommon boost. Let's say it's 64 for a Rare, and 98 for a Very Rare. You don't see the problem? -
It's less of a cry of "Fix it!" and more of an expression of disappointment of how things are turning out. They have 9 more slots to knock our socks off with, however, so let's hope they have something amazing brewing for I20.

Out of the blue, books are a tough call. You don't know the child's reading level, or their interests.
Electronics would be good for the older girl, but again, you don't know how her parents might feel about it or what they think is appropriate.
Honestly, I would go with a gift card, or with what Masque said.
