nobody can enter kanes mansion before performing the steps you mentioned, if anyone enters the house bored guy and bored gal do nothing and thus prevent the easter egg boss from spawning

from the notes most of those things got moved to respective server forums
for the sg recruitment that makes sense, for player events it can depend on if the event was going to happen on many servers over course of several days or on single server -
the ember demons aoe heal can hit up to 7 targets and ANY target is applicable including you, living hellfires, or other players
and i also agree that the seeker drones will help a lot to absorb the alphas, i usually always open with seeker drones then speed in and use a poison trap which in my build also has a lockdown proc and unbreakable constraint proc (its 5 slotted with purp hold set and 1 slot for the lockdown proc) -
the ember demon gets a aoe heal he auto spams with the lvl 32 upgrade
and yes you can have multiple triage beacons out (my demon/trap/mace mm has enough rech to have almost 3 acid morters out without burnout)
if your wondering hes lvl 50 with tier 4 alpha and some tier 1-3 non alpha powers and is about 75% done being IOd and can solo GMs (scrappys running can be problematic though)
im not at my home computer atm or i would show you my build -
you have to be a full villain or rogue to actually be awarded that badge (there are a few others like that as well)
-
i think its more likely that stalkers will get this since i noticed one of synapses comments about titan weapons not being on stalkers and hewas saying that they would try to make sets available to all the ATs and that titan weapons might show up on stalkers in the future
so i wouldnt count them out just yet, i think they were just trying some new things this issue (like with the BAF rewards and emp locked new incarnate trees both of which were pulled already) -
Quote:sentinel is out of date with the current game version so it wont detect that your running the game, i noticed this when i tried to pull a build off live with it and i even made sure i had the most recent versionOriginally Posted by Zombie Man
Also, what are the level of your Run enhancements in Mids' v. in-game?
Also, you can use Sentinel to grab an exact in-game build an port it into Mids'. Then compare the ported build v. the hand-built build.
i think they are preparing a version of 1.0 which could be the delay for the update -

The chance for a drop is not dependent on how recently you got a drop.... While the probability of getting 2 or more drops within a small amount of kills, each chance is calculated separately.ah i was going by secondhand information since i dont really do a lot of pvping myselfQuote:Originally Posted by Daknah
I can confirm this, I have received 2 pvp ios in a 5 minute span. A kill for rep Io a kill without rep then a kill for rep Io
i did know about the rep valid kill portion but was not sure on that part -
Quote:currently no way to get it yetOriginally Posted by Werewolf1
But how do you get it!?

the only way i would change it is to make it a cone like sands of mu, of course its dmg is already sub par so making it a cone wouldnt hurt anything

Quote:it would be nice to earn more prestige at higher lvlsOriginally Posted by Level
Yeah, I got that. I was just thinking that at level 50 you earn something like 10,000 influence for a boss kill (I'm totally guessing) out of SG mode, but you'd only earn 500 prestige for the same kill in SG mode. It'd be great if you earned prestige at the same rate as influence once the influence earning disappears (I think at level 35).
and some quick numbers:
lvl 50 boss not in sg mode would give 0 prestige and ~37516 inf
lvl 50 boss in sg mode gives 172 prestige and 18,758 inf
just running in sg mode all the time from the moment you join the sg is still prolly the best way ive found on earning prestige, most of the toons i have in my sg have between 550,000 and 5 mil prestige earned just because i always leave them in sg mode -
Quote:if you read the page again at lvl 29+ your earning 100% prestige and 50% inf, so you will never stop earning infOriginally Posted by Level
It looks like that getting to level 25 is a priority so that a toon earns 100% prestige. I'd be cool that as influence wanes the prestige surges, so by the time you're 50 you'd earn an insane amount of prestige and no influence.
it looks like the most optimal lvl to earn prestige and inf is lvl 24 which is 98% prestige and 100% inf -
Quote:/this and if you happen to be lucky enough to get a drop your then invalidated from any more pvp IO drops for 10 minutes, so if you get a cruddy drop might as well bow out for a few matches since you wont even have a chance to get another drop for 10 minutes (it would depend on how long the match is for how many you have to sit out)Originally Posted by hemmingway3
Fewer kills and a kill must be rep valid to yield a drop, which restricts it by 5 minutes. For example, if team WARE scores 85 kills in an 8v8, only 16 of those kills may possibly be rep valid within a 10 minute match. This means only ~19% of an extremely high scoring offense's kills had a chance to drop a PvP IO (this low percentage is then multiplied by the actual drop rate to yield the effective rate). Considering it is common practice to cycle the same select enemies more often than evenly killing all 8 enemies on a team, this percentage is very likely to be even lower. However, if a team of 8 PvErs were to defeat 85 enemies (a trivial task), 100% of those kills would have a chance to drop a purple. Now, it does not appear that the PvP IO drop rate is similar to the purple drop rate. It appears that it has been adjusted to reflect the noted restrictions on IO drops; however, it has not been adjusted enough to make the rate comparable to the purple drop rate. The PvP IO drop rate was adjusted downward to decrease the yield of a PvP farm, but this had the consequence of ruining the drop rate for normal (read: actual) PvP. Since the actual rates have not been released, I can't really say much more than that.
This is totally on topic. -
i have a street justice/regen brute at 34 right now and i honestly have a lot of fun playing him, yes hes a tad more squishy but not as squishy as i felt as a regen scrapper
the higher base and cap on hp is a really big difference IMO -
i agree that the global friend list needs to be expanded (as well as supergroup membership limit but thats a different thread)
ive been full on my global friend list for coming up 3 years now and i just been removing poeple that i dont know very well and can only guess how long they been offline
if size increase is not possible then add on a tab to show last day online so i can remove poeple who havent been on in 3+ years -
Quote:i have a lot of investment in the incarnates just trials get extremely boring/repetitive very fast so i basically run them for badges on my main then sparsely on other toonsOriginally Posted by Samuel_Tow
And so the endless battle to prevent people from pre-purchasing new powers without having played through new content continues. I'm just glad I'm not invested in the system for a whole host of other reasons, but for the people who are - you have my genuine sympathies.
majority of my toons get their tier 1 non alpha powers through shard to thread conversions and apex/tin mage
i do agree though that making us buy the trees is epic stupid because we got 12 new lore trees for free in i20.5 -
Quote:costs astral merits at the astral merit vendor in ouroOriginally Posted by DJ_Blackrock
I have no outstanding missions, I haven't switched alignments, I started it a while back, and it let me track down trapdoor recently, but nothing else.
I heard something about buying the unlock? How do I do that? -
Quote:you can change that in user CP -> group membershipsOriginally Posted by Cobaltix
Also, my forum handle doesn't show as VIP, which is odd, as I've never interrupted my subscription to the game.
Would love a comment on that as well. -
i dont really see much issue with it, the current spine melee set can have multiple types of spines for the animations (although adds lot of redraw)
the easiest way to make it compatible with spine melee would be to just have different animations on the powers than the spine melee set -
cones how they are in game require a target to fire off and aim at said target
your asking for the option to fire them off at will like a PBAOE, which i could see is ok in some circumstances, but i personally like having a target to aim at, i know i may not get it perfect everytime but at least it still hit something instead of firing it off and then everything just happens to move out of where you were throwing it which has happened to me while using PBAOEs -
Quote:technically a market license only costs $2 a month, it would take $105 to get a permanent market license, but thats not really necessaryOriginally Posted by Teeto_K
The odd person here or there will probably dump enough money in the game to unlock trading, but it's not likely they'll get far enough progressed to unlock the auction house, which requires 105 dollars spent on the game.
Perhaps at a later date, when we see more Premiums who've invested more heavily, there may be a market for those premiums trapped between Tier 4 and Tier 7, but for now, I'd say it looks bleak.
same can be said for the IO license, $2 a month or they could just dump out like $400 to have it permanently -
one question would strength of stone and earthen fortification be stackable? or will they be mutually exclusive? would any of them be mutually exclusive with travel powers? i dont believe either of those points were mentioned
depending on above answers i may or may not ever take those powers since -speed is not something you want on a squishy (-jump i could live with -speed i could not) -
Quote:it may require the character to be unlocked to transferOriginally Posted by Wichita
I have let my account go free, and it reports I have 1 transfer available. However, I can't use it on my character on Freedom.
Is there some rule I don't know about for restrictions on server transfers?
it also may require that you have an available slot on the server you want to transfer too
aside from that im not sure why the transfer would not work if you have the token available -
Quote:no idea although that does look very similar to the CO character creatorOriginally Posted by Kitai
I've found this old gameplay video from coh here, and I've noticed the shapeshift was an available powerset at that period of time.
Anyone here has an idea how it used to work?

Quote:/this in terms of pvp drop rate its actually more rare than purples and there are a LOT of restrictions on actually getting themOriginally Posted by hemmingway3
The "honest way" of getting PvP IOs will take you years of constant PvPing to actually slot a toon. The drop rate is that bad. I have gotten maybe 6 or 7 drops since I started actively going into RV on Freedom several months ago.
if you want to get things for drops then you have to set up an afk pvp farm and you *might* get 0-3 per night assuming nobody interrupts you
if you still dont want to pay 200 mil to 3 bil per IO i would suggest A) saving alignment merits or B) saving empyrean merits or C) both A and B
