  1. I crashed right in the middle of M Biso...I mean Reichsman and Requiem ranting at each other while trying to save Gyrfalcon.

    I just hope the IOs I had crafted earlier are still there, or heads will roll.
  2. The beta forums can't stop going on about how awful Beast mastery is balance wise. So I hope it's Staff fighting.
  3. I say add some more variety for facial options all over add some more glasses, goggles, breathers, etc., not just masks. Make it into a whole 'Detail' Pack. Add some more chest details, more backpacks. Heck more detail options for the full and half helmets while we're at it! None of those things will produce gender specific issues, except chest details.

    Yeah, this.

    I'm enjoying the DA arcs so far, i've done the first two. of course being a +3 incarnate makes them easy to run a 0x2, but the point of a game is to be fun. And saving kadabra Kill and Sigil by face-punching the Knives bosses around them alongside my giant robot is fun, i don't care what anyone says.
  5. I'd like to be able to trade in the crap i never claim from Reward Tokens for something I'd actually use. Not the same, but still, I never claim the prestige sprints or the minipets, except by accident.

    First of all the raids aren't Hard. They have some gimmicks that if you have run the Apex trial you have seen before. Glowing spots on the ground - check - unresisted damage DoTing you to death - check.

    The BaF I ran last night and the prisoner escape sequence is flatout silly. I found within 20 seconds they ran a pre-determined path. I stood at the end of the path where they turned - with Chilling Embrace on and using Shiver and Shockwave and not a single prisoner escaped.

    It wasn't even close. Then the hard part take down 2 AV's at the same time. Well since we herded them together and we were spamming them with AoE's it wasn't until they had 25% health left we even had to worry about it. Then it was figure out which one we were killing easier and kill the other one first.

    Bingo - done in less than 15 minutes.


    Then a nice stroll on a Lam - in which the only threat was lag - I died once due to a lag death otherwise we had zero problems - except due to not enough debuffs we had to use a couple grenades. So no badge since we used 3.

    If you can read - the trials are easy. It says in big letters - this is now happening - then it happens. I was actually interested in seeing what everyone found so hard, I don't see it. They were not even in the same realm as trying to solo a Purple level Proton. He is far harder and requires some planning.

    Color me not impressed. I would prefer a larger critter with a few effects that make the fight interesting to power spamming.
    You're doing the easy trials. i don't think anyone is saying that BAF or Lambda are hard. Keyes is more complex, but not necessarily harder, it's difficulty comes from getting people to coordinate.

    Underground and MoM are the real 'hard' trials out there. TPN is mostly tedious, but not difficult once you know what to do.

    I mentioned this earlier. Give it a couple months and turn them into rare drops that unlock for the whole account. Assuming they can even do that, i should assume so. It probably should be done with Maelstrom's Pistols if they aren't already that way. The old wings and boots are fine on a by-character basis.

    I haven't had a chance to buy any super packs yet, though I was planning to. I don't like that there's the costume parts in them, and I barely use all the random crap I've gotten from reward tokens. But I might drop a few bucks every couple weeks on them after an initial splurge to try for the new costume bits, then I might actually get some use out of Windfalls and XP Boosters.
  8. Perhaps the devs should consider adding the Elemental Order pieces as rare or very rare recipe drops after a few months, that unlock the pieces on your whole account when crafted.
  9. The real question is why they don't sell it in the Store. Because I would pay points to never have to run the hero side Midnighter arc ever again.
  10. I don't like combining sets with clickies with sets with redraw very much. One of my first characters was a Katana/Reflexes scrapper, she's fun, but every time the Mez Resist goes off, it seems like I'm in the middle of combat, so I get stuck with redraw. It's not as annoying on my MA/nin Stalker.

    I doubt I'll make another MM. I have Bots/FF and I agree that it's just kinda boring watching them shoot everything for me.

    I'll likely never play /Regen, I tried it and didn't like it. I have an AR/Devices blaster and I likely won't do either of those again.

    I keep meaning to try /Invuln but the way Dull Pain works messes with my head.

    Power we need

    If I had a pic of Nekki Basara to post I would.

    But wouldn't Music Control basically be Sonic Control? I know the sound effects on Sonic are more of the screeching variety, but it could be fluffed as Music.

    I'd love to see Energy Aura Blueside...I just don't get into brutes.

    But yeah, steampunk = BUY. Soooo amazing.
  13. I totally want Energy Aura for scrappers, so I can make a Kinetic Melee/Energy Aura scrapper for GR.
  14. I just want their jetpack, and to have it take up the back slot. Backpacks and the like in general for the back slot would be lovely in fact.
  15. I just wish I could have the option to skip the rewards I don't want. I'm never going to use the greek letters for example. Even if you only get one or two 'skips' I'd be happy.

    And this is going to anger the same people that got angry about Epic ATs at 20, if it happened.
  16. In the custom group creator, you can right click on on the custom character after it's been added to your group and select the "Don't Auto Spawn" option, which should get you the result you're looking for.

    Are we talking Variable Formation or Gattai? Either is fine, just want to clarify?
  18. My first 50 was my Archery/Trick Arrow Corruptor. Now I did a lot of teaming, so some of the problems Eric noticed might not be absent, but I've had fun with it, and no real problem areas except that fighting anything that has good resistance to lethal becomes a pain.

    - When I arrived, I could not see any Dropships in the sky. Some people reported that Dropships had different routes in other zones, but in Nerva I saw none.

    - There was Bombs on the ground, and Rikti were teleporting. It was the 2 waves at the same time with still no Dropships but there was the shaking screen from the bombings.

    - People reported patrol of Rikti moving around although I saw none. Everyone rapidly gathered together near the Trainers.

    - Then it was as usual as Rikti were teleporting. Heavy Assault Suits started to spawn when enough villains were present.

    - Then at some point after 5-10 minutes of fighting, ambushes started to arrive from all sides. Big Ambushes of Rikti Priests and Heavy Assault Suits. There was no "wipe" in Nerva, and everyone was safe unless you started to wander alone.

    - At some point, a Master-at-Arms attacked us with troops. He got dispatched quickly. More Ambushes, then another Master-at-Arms.

    - Everyone attacking a Master-at-Arms got a golden title (Rogue Isles' Defender).

    - And toward the end, everyone spotted an orange name in our midst; Qugin. Selecting him showed he was a Stalker. Everyone screaming Rikti Spy and started to chase him. He was eventually defeated but it turned out it was a bug of some sort (that was confirmed by Niviene).

    - Eventually, we got the event message that Rikti left Nerva.
    I can confirm all of the above. I managed to make it to Nerva while dropships were still in the sky, and here is what I observed about them-

    - More dropships than usual. I followed the first one I could see, it roughly followed established bombing routes, but the 'damaged' bombs that they usually drop were more rare.

    - While trying to take down a bomb, I noticed that the bombing waves kept coming. Previously you could spend quite a while on a bomb before more explosions occurred, but this time it was maybe 30 seconds between them. Lots more bombs and lots more dropships.
