Quote:i dont think the issue was that they were gamebreaking, but they were too much in line with the current insp to make them not worth bothering with at all since you can get insp for free or at a very very cheap inf costOriginally Posted by LadyGrimrose
This is not a game breaker. I have never used them nor will I ever. They are there in case people wish to be a little more teamcentric. Are they overpriced, yes. However, not game breaking if you don't want to use them. -
when dropping to premium all incarnate stuff should stay on the character but all the incarnate powers will be greyed out and unusable until they return to VIP
in essence should not lose anything, just greyed out -
Quote:yes, but so far we havent seen it do anything elseOriginally Posted by _Klaw_
Have you seen this?
also all current shapshifting powers (kheld forms and granite armor) dont really shapeshift you, they just change your characters avatar
being able to pull off an elastic man is something that this game engine cant handle at this time -
Quote:IIRC ramiels arc was added to the ouro flashback list within the last 2 issues, he might be able to rerun the arc that way to be awarded the badgeOriginally Posted by DumpleBerry
Ramiel broke recently. He's supposed to be fixed, but it screwed up a lot of arcs. Did you just start his arc? Or have you been working on it over the last patch or two? The fix basically auto-completes the arc for you, and you have to earn your alpha slot some other way. The easiest way, IMO, is just to buy the "Alpha Unlock" on another character and account-mail it to yourself.
if that doesnt work then can always unlock through trials by buying the alpha unlock or just plain incarnate xp -
the main reason we dont have any shapeshifting type of powerset right now is due to limitations of the game engine, with the current system stuff like this isnt very likely to happen if at all

Quote:/this, one example in the last month of a minor item added to the market for the week was the fireman hat, that week that was the only new item which was only 80 ptsOriginally Posted by Oliin
Let's assume a month that has 4 Tuesdays in it, so only 4 big releases to the market. So far we've seen something like this:
- 1 powerset (800 points)
- 2 costume sets (400 points each, 800 total)
- 1 signature story arc (free for VIPs, 400 points otherwise).
That's about $20 worth of points ($25 for a non-subscriber) and I would only have to pay $15 if I wanted all of. That's much better than 1/10th.
To be fair though, there could be months that have more expensive stuff go to the market and others that have less.
Speaking as a very long time subscriber I'm relatively happy with the state of things at the moment. I like costume items and they're giving me more new options than they ever have before (I haven't picked up all of them though since I don't need all of them). I like options power set wise and they've added in some new good ones so far. On top of that they've still given me free costume sets, a power set and new story content just like they always have in the past.
I don't really see what the issue is here. Why in the world should I be entitled for more than I ever got before for no extra charge? Especially since I've been having to buy extras for a long time now, now they're just putting out more of those extras. -
now that i think about it the kb on umbral torrent can get slightly annoying if you have no walls to blast into
i think i would have prefered a merge of dark pit + night fall instead of torrent + night fall (since torrent was a very skipped power on every dark blast corr i had) -
Quote:more specifically it changes ALL +movement speed powers (sb being the most common but including other such as inertial reduction and the extremely small +speed in enforced morale)Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
The Gull only affects SB, Group Fly and [I think] Inertial Reduction. He can't make it so shields are not cast on you, which is a pity .
group fly and mystic fortune are the other 2 options -
i used to do about 6 trials a day for 3-4 weeks after they were relased then i slowed up to maybe 1-2 trials a day then down to 1-2 trials per week, right now im almost at 1-3 trials per month
i got sick of the trials because of the crappy reward system, i need VRs on like 3 toons but whenever i do a trial with them i get bloody common or uncommon and crafting a VR outside of trials is extremely expensive, and the amount of emp merits for a single very rare is highway robbery and would be more worthwhile to just save another 20 emp merits for a freaking purple
the trials themselves also get extremely repetitive but since i slowed down on doing them they are bit more enjoyable although the reward system as mentioned above is definitely a reason i dont run them as much -
i have to agree that selling inspirations on the store is a easy pitfall for the new player to get into
more veteran players already know that they are pointless to buy from the store and im with you in the fact of asking whats the point of dual or team inspirations since they arent worth their points to buy
with how inspirations are i dont see them being worth more than maybe 10 pts a piece if not 1 pt a piece -
WP or regen are the best for minimal end issues, especially regen since you can get quick recovery at like lvl 4
-
the main reason i dont like playing stalkers is due to the lack of aoe in their attack sets
martial arts for example has 0 aoes in the primary making it an extreme pain to fight larger than x3 mobs
the only stalker combo ive really enjoyed so far is elec/energy aura stalker which actually has some decent AoE and plays similar to a scrapper but with hide and stuff -

You have to do it all before anyone enters the house.

Quote:ive tried doing that but after you make both the bored guy and bored gal eat candy then devil girl wont talk to you and nothing seems to spawnOriginally Posted by Teenage_Kid
Before going into the house as you go up the stairs go Left into the grave yard and talk to Devil Girl and make a pact with her. Once you do that go talk to Bored Guy on the right and left side pavilions and make them eat candy. Then go back to Devil Girl and Fight Black Whip.

personally i think its fine as is, free players cannot spam tells, they can only reply to tells, which is what ive seen in at least a dozen threads between a 1-2 weeks pre freedom and some post freedom requesting that free players at least have the ability to reply to tells

i with they made null the gulls settings account wide first lol

Quote:according to the default keymapping backspace should be mapped to reply functionOriginally Posted by Oneirohero
Oh this is wonderful news, and I'm being incredibly non-sarcastic about this. I will be sure to spread the news about /r. I'll send tells and at the end write (To reply, type /r <message)", should be much more simple in syntax than t/ name(COMMA) message.
Not sure why the backspace button just automatically uses /t when you could just /r and do the same thing. Or maybe it's for when you've got two people sending you tells and you don't want a mistell because someone else messaged you before pressing send.
So there we have it, free players can reply to tells after all and it didn't cost the devs any work time to do it. It would've been nice if you could send tells to server and global friends but eh, I can deal for now.
if its not working you could always just rebind backspace for /r -
im personally gonna wait until the next half issue to see what additional trees of incarnate slots we will have to chooe (we will be getting new alpha, destiny, judgement, and interface options so im waiting for now to see what comes of it)

Quote:for me im mostly in it for the badge, the temp power is just extra lol, my only problem is finding one of these for under $25Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
As far as price increases go compared to other games CE's that isn't too bad an increase. I've seen CE's going for $250, $400, and even $2,500.
Still I don't expect anyone except the crazy to pay $100 bucks for an old temp power. -
according to Spad_EU in another thread using /r can be used by free players to reply to tells, for the correct syntax see the quote below
Quote:this should drastically help improve the communication between free and premium/VIP players, but we need to spread the word about itOriginally Posted by The_Spad_EU
It's "/r <message>" similar to any other chat channel, except that it is directly to whomever last sent you a tell. -

being thermal secondary your prolly capping all his resistanced just with the shields
however just for the record, the pet +res IOs grant you an aura (like supremacy for mm) that add +res to all of your pets within said aura
personally i would try to get the pet +def IOs since you would already be capping all his resists anyway -
on a side note there are actually 3 badges associated with this trial
one for completion
one for completion with 99 zombies killed
one for completion while wearing a ToT costume temp (im assuming it has to be for entire trial) -
back when i21 was still in beta, i was running a lowbie toon through some of the new arcs while queued for the LFG and encountered an odd bug where you could enter a "board train" mish while still in the queue
however if your queued trial started while you were in the mish, it would kick you out of your mish (and reset it) and it wouldnt let you rejoin the queued trial that you just tried to load into.
this might be one reason why we dont have LFG in mishs yet
