you are right they are global, once you slot them they start working
-
MA is extremely good on surviveability for tanks since storm kick (tier 2 attack) adds +10% def to all but psi for 10 sec when it hits (this def buff cannot be enhanced and does not stack but is perma out of the box)
eagles claw for tanks adds 33% dmg bonus for 5 sec after it hits
the big thing though is storm kicks defense buff, which can very easily softcap shield -
im assuming it will either A) not let you apply the one till the other expires or B) will overwrite the current code you have basically extending it the difference in start dates
-
herostats is a 3rd party program that makes it very easy to track thing such as xp/min inf/min ect as well as buff timers. it can also track what drops you had during the play session
more info can be found at their site here -

FYI, Frilled Ascot is currently broken. At least it is on Live. It's showing up under Head->Detail 2 and not under Upper Body->Chest Detail as advertised. Because of that, it's not doing anything graphically. -
herostats can keep track of buff timers
and i hate the blinking and turned it off but i think its approx 15 sec before the power expires (herostats still does a better job at keeping track of timers lol) -
i wouldnt bother for it anyway since its only the stupid temp jetpack lol
-
there is a fix in the works but we dont know when it will be live, current workarounds are not really there since almost everyones toons have a slightly different workaround if their costumes are locked
-
i think ive bought pretty much everything they offered regardless lol, i just like having the options, if its not working 100% wont bother me because i would have to find a use for the piece first, and currently the only piece im interested in is the brain in a jar, i could almost see myself replacing my mains head with the brain in a jar lol
-
the good things ive heard about psi blast blasters is the ability to do lot of burst dmg since they have several attacks that when executed in the right order can all land on the target at the same time (on my psi blast corr the combo that i use is will domination -> telekinetic blast and most instanced both powers hit at same time doing a large chunk of dmg even 1 shotting minions)
-
if they scaled the weapons down to be more inline with other ones then yes i could see it happening
-
for interface i refuse to take anything other than reactive radial because of the debuffs being resistable
all interface debuffs are resistable and can only stack up to 4x from all sources, the dmg can stack up to 8 times though and expires faster which drastically increases your dmg output -
Quote:thats only if you pick the merits though, but that is a good pointOriginally Posted by EvilGeko
They award two merits and the reward table which gives 5 merits minimum.
-
im pretty sure both sig arcs only award 2 merits right now (unless you pick the x4 then you get 22), which is 4 total, i do agree they take about avg to longer to kill than running a sig arc
-
scrapyard is on a timer spawn, his respawn is around 20 minutes (this is mentioned on the giant monster overview page that the website had)
i wish we could have 3 deathsurges again though -
i dont even bother buying points in game i always buy them from the account management page, its much smoother that way for me
-
i think that GMs do need to have more rewad for them, right now they are barely worth the time to fight and being essentially impossible to solo aside from a few powerset combinations, the risk/reward ratio is completely out the window
time to kill 1 GM for avg team of non incarnates and minimal debuff: 15+ minutes
reward for previous: maybe 1 boss worth of xp/inf
in the same amount of time i could run through a mish solo and get 5x the reward of the GM
the ONLY GM thats even rare nowadays is caleb, but due to the lackluster rewards (and with how quirky caleb is) still remains largely ignored (i personally dont kill GMs unless im looking for merits on my ill/cold or if a friend needs help) -
you will not lose any slots that you bought or earned
so if you got 2 from being 2 year vet, bought 5, and had GR before freedom release (another 2 slots) you would keep all of those in addition to the 2 free slots which are given to all players (free players start with 2 total character slots)
so as a returning player with (my example) you would have the 2 global slots, then 2+5+2 for a total of 11 slots (note: this is based off of the example i gave and i have no idea how many slots you would actually have)
you wont have as many slots as a VIP but you can still have a good number of slots as a returning player -
another reason its a good idea to buy $50 at once too is that it will give you enough tokens to have access to all the chat functions as well (since it takes an estimated $45 to get to end of tier 3)
personally i think the main focus should be opening up the chat options, they can use the points for darned near whatever they want (sure recommending character slots is a good way to go too), but the main thing they need access to is chat options -
Quote:the ambushs were pretty awful till i realized they were A) easy to avoid and B) your given a bunch of invincible allies that also help fight with you, so if you avoid the ambush you can let them do most of the workOriginally Posted by Hyperstrike
The graveyard mission from Blind Makwa is a an example of this one. Basically the ambushes keep coming and coming and coming.
These are people in their low to mid 20's here guys! While most will now have Stamina slotted well and decent use of EndRed in attacks, some of these missions have ZERO time to rest. -
my opinion on granite is i would be fine for a change of the graphic of the power but i do not want the actual numbers to be changed
the DE avatar is not too bad since it looks thematic and graphically makes sense to the power, but theres like 6 different kinds of rock DE and we only get to look like one of them. if we lose the DE look over customization i would prolly be fine with that
the only thing that i would hate the most about granite changes if the numbers were messed with, if granite was nerfed per say then i would have to completely revamp my stone brutes build and i really like him the way he is now -
you are right that if you did it on noon one sunday then you have to wait till next week
i think the reward table itself is on the timer, not each individual item, but im not 100% sure -
reasons ive seen poeple get hit is due to long animating powers and or not paying attention
-
it appears that its 1 week, but the timer is per toon basis and it doesnt physically show you anywhere how much longer on it

Quote:i wait because shards can be gotten through all normal non trial gameplay, the alpha can be earned on trials, but why bother working on alpha running trials when the other 4 slots we have atm require trials and essentially cannot be earned outside unless you do shard to thread conversions.Originally Posted by Wing_Leader
So you wait until you have tier 4 Alpha slotted out before doing the Incarnate Trials or "working on" the other slots? I'm curious about the reasoning behind this strategy.
also IMO shards are MUCH easier to get too, ITF or barracuda sf gives you around 6-20 shards on avg plus a component if you need it, if you do the tfs to get the components then you can get a tier 1 alpha in 1 tf
since i also have 20 lvl 50s (only about 5 of them have tier 4 alphas atm) it gives me something else to work on instead of grind out 500 more trials
thats about the closest reasoning i can give for why i wait till i have tier 4 alpha to start doing trials lol, the other half of the reasoning is just cause i feel like doing that lol
