1 DB/Inv: hoping to see if this will work as a combo

[/ QUOTE ]I have a DB/Inv Brute, who is now slowly creeping towards lvl 22. End has been a problem, but then a lot of ATs have end issues pre-stamina. Stick with it, as will reap rewards later (thats what I'm hoping for anyway).

[ QUOTE ]
I'd have thought £2.99 would be a more appropriate price though, really... £5.99 is a bit steep. Not that I'll ever use it. My chars have respecs coming out the wazoo!

[/ QUOTE ]£2.99 would lead to the death of the TV trial as we no it. Most people would be more than happy paying a miniscule amount, than spending 90 mins waiting for waves in the reactor.

Like many before me I too have plenty of vet and free respecs, so the £5.99 respec will not be used, but it sounds like a good option for anyone that is willing to pay this amount for an instant respec.

However, paying for a cash respec seems strange to me, when you could play 1-2 hours on a lvl 50 character and receive 20m+ (from selling recipes etc). Then transfer the inf to the character that needs the respec, and buy the recipe from the AH/BM.

Alternatively, you could download the test server, and try out various different powers etc before going live, or use mids designer.

- Controller : farmer toon + Fire/Kin Syndrom
- Defender : too squishy + slow
- Scrapper : easy mode + scraplock
- Stalker : easy mode + easy mode in PvP
- Blaster : too squishy + don't know how to play
- Brute : see scrapper
- MM : only one good set, rest is gimp
- Dom : overpowered
- Corr : too slow

[/ QUOTE ]From reading that post Xavier, it appears that you have made the following conclusions:

1) You only play Scrappers/Stalkers as they are easy?
2) You don't like debuff ATs
3) You have no opinions on the other ATs eg. Tankers, EATs
4) You're pretty disillusioned with the game?

And I don't think Stalkers in PvP is easy mode. Yes I agree that AS+Build up+Acc+Dam means pretty good 1 hit damage, But no stalker (unhidden) could ever go toe to toe with a Scrapper/Tanker or Brute, They'd own your as.s pretty much every time, that is if you haven't used SS to run and hide.

Stalkers in PvP to me is a hit and run toon only. 1 vs 1 shows just how much of a chicken [censored] build they are, but they work well as an assasin in team PvP.

Don't get me wrong, I have a Stalker too, but I don't think they're the best AT in PvP by a country mile. A Flying Blaster against a SS Stalker, will win every time.

I think they just delete one, maybe the first one it comes across. I've got no idea, It could delete them all and then you'd need to send for help to get it back, this would be the worse case scenario

[/ QUOTE ]As you pointed out. If the AI deleted the first one, then you'd have all your chance for buildup IOs deleted, and a whole bunch of not happy people to boot. I would imagine that the highest lvl one would be left untouched, and the remainders deleted. But like you, I am speculating!

P.S. Sorry about amending your previous post (the quote above), but it read badly.

It's not live yet - they're still working on some security issues, I think.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is not delayed due to security reasons. It's delayed because it simply isn't ready yet and is a complex feature to put together. At this stage, all I can say is that it will be released when it's ready and not before.

[/ QUOTE ]That's told us, hehe

[ QUOTE ]
Pick the powers you want to and hang the rest. If it is fatm or the silliest build possible, the choice is yours. Don't let others dictate to you the "proper" way to play this game. As long as you are having fun then nothing else matters.

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly that.... fun first, then dynamics.

I personally (now) try to roll characters that I know I'll be able to solo, if there aren't any teams available, especially in CoV. Learnt this from trying to solo an Ill/kin pre lvl 20, was far too slow!

I purposedly went for an ice/kin troll rather than a fire/, as didn't want to be labelled as a farmer. The opposite to that on CoV is my dark/kin corr (which is proving very enjoyable atm).

DB/SR and MA/WP scrappers are also my current fotm.

[ QUOTE ]
Very strange, I only ever slot 1 Acc in my attacks (the exceptions are mezzes and buffs & debuffs with tohit rolls) and I hardly ever miss, even fighting +2s. Go figure...

[/ QUOTE ]Yep, my experience is pretty similar. Especially on my 50 claws with FA, who misses 1 in every 50 (seems like it anyway)

[ QUOTE ]
Nowhere I recall did I use the term "calendar year" either.

[/ QUOTE ]You didn't actually use the term, but you implied it.

[ QUOTE ]
My point is that whenever you choose to start your 12 month window from, once you've picked a date you've got to stick with it.

[/ QUOTE ] Why???

If you work (and I'm sure you do), you'll know that goals and objectives sometimes cannot be achieved. As long as progress can be seen, then that's good enough for me!

If someone (NCNC) in this case kept promising something then not delivering, then Id understand people getting frustrated, and voting with their feet.

I'd personally wait 6 months per issue (2 a year, 3 if your were as stringent as Standoff), if the content worked on many levels, and was virtually bug free.

Because on the Menu, there's a little button called Costume which shows you all your costumes. Click one, and you get it on. But you might press the wrong one which usually happens with me. So I find it a bit annoying.

[/ QUOTE ]In which case, you're a numpty! Although I admit, I've done it myself
Still, it's hardly a problem if you just take a few seconds more to check, as I have to do when I type. These 'ere fingers have minds of their own, I tell thee!

[/ QUOTE ]Definitely a numpty if you keep making the same mistake! Most people learn from their mistakes.
To continually make the same mistake, must use the full capacity of your one brain cell...

[ QUOTE ]
While a I13 release this November-ish would technically give them 3 releases in a suitably chosen 12 month slot, that's not really 3 issues/year as most people would interpret it

[/ QUOTE ]Nowhere that I have seen does it state that there would be 3 issues per calendar year (Jan 1 - Dec 31st), just that they are trying to achieve 3 issues per 12 (rolling) months.

Did someone link LR's screens to YouTube? Lol

[/ QUOTE ]Obviously, the creator of said video clip, has no love for Astley?

He was a great icon of the 80's!
Well, in terms of popularity within Stock, Aitken and Waterman's world, anyhow.

Astley for Prime Minister?
He'd do a much better job than Brown, and he'll have us "together forever" and never to part.

Let's completely destroy a perfectly good thread, by insane amounts of innuendo.

That was sarcasm unless anyone missed the point!

You just HAD to do it, didn't you? And she'd actually been carping on about it LESS lately! Now you'll just set her off again!

[/ QUOTE ]And she hasn't turned up with a post yet. Quick GR, lock the thread...!

Edit: Oh and it is pages 28-29. I got worried when I opened it to page 27 to see a summation box with the verdict 4/13 (a review for Requiem: Bloodymare)

[/ QUOTE ]It depends what you are looking at. It states pages 28-29 at the bottom, when you use the auto page turner. But the article is actually written on pages 27-28. Go figure (the logic behind it anyway)....???

The first page was more informative than the second. Drunken gamer, should stick to drink and games.... as he isn't no journo.

Calystix is a real pain for villains at low levels, just like Frostfire can be on heroes. The amount of deaths I've taken (solo) at the hands of Calystix is too great to count, usually succeed by outleveling the mission, then come back and kick butt at +1 or +2.

However, the OP thinks infernal is hard for an MM. Try soloing Baracuda and Metal Shift as a Dark/Kin Corr. With the help of the friendly freak beginning with O, I just about managed to defeat Baracuda. However, Metal Shift was a much harder proposition, especially when he unleashes his slag pile. Gave up after 3 failed attempts (using countless insps), and will return to kick both their butts soon, as my corr is now +1 on them.

[ QUOTE ]
Masterminds - Get those lobotomised, door blocking, corridor jamming pets OUT OF MY WAY! RARGH!

[/ QUOTE ]This is why I've struggled to get a MM over 30. Yes they're easy to solo, but they take ages to set up, (even the best) controlled pets go heywire too often, and getting round a cave is a complete nightmare (when teamed).

[ QUOTE ]
Is it possible to move a character from one server to another and in doing so have one less created slot on the left server and one more created slot on the new server for £5,99?

[/ QUOTE ]Look at your own question? You want to transfer a character from one server to another server. This doesn't mean that the slot will automatically be transferred too, only the character.

As of yet, there is no slot exchange feature in the game... it may get added in the future, but probably not. (I have no evidence to either back this up or not though)

[ QUOTE ]
Or do I first need to create a slot on the server I want to transfer to, then transfer and have a unwanted available slot on an old server costing £11,98?

[/ QUOTE ]Yes, unless you wait until you get given a free veteran slot.

The £11.98 stated above isn't correct, according to paragonwiki. This extra slot (if only 1 was purchased) would only cost $5.99 (£3.49).

..... so moving a character from one server onto another server (with a new slot) will cost you £9.48, and you'll have a free slot left on the original server to boot.

As T says.... still plenty to do...

I have noticed this as well I might wait for a tank, when s/he) is not available I will consider my scrapper as the tank. After the Tanks goes I go, no matter what else is in the team and I do go after the biggest baddie of the mob be it AV, EB, boss or less. If all are equal level I will focus on one and got to the other when he is defeated.

[/ QUOTE ]Standard scrapper tactics dictate, Tank tankes Alpha, Scrapper rushes in and tries to wipe the mob before the Blaster nukes them... we get angry if the Blaster doesn't tell us when he is nuking...!

[ QUOTE ]
4) when you accidentaly change your costume you must wait and suffer a full 30 seconds of humiliation before you can cover up your mistake.

[/ QUOTE ]How do you accidentally change costume? as you have to type /cc*, unless you have a costume change bind/macro set to a prime key! which then beggars the question .... why?

You all make 30 seconds sound like such a hardship! I would imagine most people's average gametime (per session) to be 1-2 hours at least, so what's 30 seconds hardship of wearing your skimpy speedos.

Simple way to get around the "accident" is to set key binds or macros to numpad keys, as these generally aren't hit by accident.

But to go against the flow, I would say /unsigned.

No, there isn't; but you COULD try stopping the download, exiting the updater, and restarting. It will continue where it left off and might pick up a faster connection.

[/ QUOTE ]Why bother posting once, when twice gets the message over better.

For the record, it appears to happen as a result of the Consignment House being busy, and repeated messages being sent to let you, as a player, know this. Helpful in some respects, but not ideal when you hit "Get All Influence" while it's busy.

[/ QUOTE ]Simple Solution. Just get the influence per item individually, it's only a maximum of 20 clicks anyhow, at least until the bug has been fixed.
