Widow butt capes where in that last patch.

I favor to hit buffs in nova. And a Stealth IO.

It finding the clue is simply down to luck, that's bad. If you can find the clue by pure intellegence, that's good.

Mystery: Mystery is a bad thing, as it means the player doesn't know what to do. An example of a bad, "mysterious" quest would be, "Something’s wrong in the forest, go figure it out." When players aren't clear on what to do, they become confused, and that provides for a bad game experience.

Don't agree with this. I would love to see more open, smarts based quests in MMOs, indstead of the go here do that quests that treat the player like a moron. This kind of stuff is a staple of games like Baldur's Gate and Mass Effect.

Chill out, it was only a suggestion.

valkyrie completion, where is the shield?


[/ QUOTE ]

That's not a suggestion, it's a demand.

[ QUOTE ]
surely there would have been time to design some more weapons?

[/ QUOTE ]

Sure, if you took your staff off the other projects they had moved on to.

[ QUOTE ]
the sword couldn't have been all that unplanned as it appeared in the promotional shots for the set.

[/ QUOTE ]

The set was completed several months before the promotional screenshots appeared.

b) the cyborg pack is done in a very similar fashion to the tech weapon skins already in game

[/ QUOTE ]

The Valkerie set is very similar to stuff already in game too. Valkirie Shield? Stick the Wings detail on a standard one.

Hit 10 mobs with it, add up all the damage, then compare it to your other attacks.

I think NCNC have learned their lesson with Valkyrie costume set.

If they have extra time, they should not add a single weapon. Cause players are apparently happier getting nothing than a little.

*rolls eyes*

Exactly. We didn't hear any whining about the lack of weapons in the Cyborg pack, even though custom weapons where in the game at the time.

So it has been effectively guarenteed that the Magic Booster will not include a wizard staff mace, because of all there complaints there would be about the lack of a wizard sword, wizard shield, and wizard assault rifle.

Shield charge is also has the largest area of any scrapper AOE.

Try using Soul Drain then Shield Charge in the middle of a large spawn. Almost as good as a Blaster nuke (It'l take out all the minions anyway), and without the risk.

You don't pay extra for it. It comes free with a specific version of the game. You only pay extra if you already have the game, and then you get a months subs thrown in.

I'm sure they are very much regretting putting that broadsword in now, because there will be much whining when the Magic Booster pack has no custom weapons in it.

Well, next time, they are sure not to include any custom weapon options, since if the broadsword hadn't been in there wouldn't have been any of this whining.

I have a DM/Shield scrapper, and it is the first scrapper I have every realy been able to get into. performance is very impressive, with pretty much all the holes covered.

It exists, and it is a bug.

It arose because the hero version of Monster Island was copy-pasted in a hurry, when it was realised that during a Hamidon fight villains would have no way to replenish the special inspirations.

Given its overpoweredness, it might be better as an epic/patron pool.

Do you have "random minion" in your custom DE group?


An easier way to set the level range might be to find a single mob with the correct range, from anywhere, and spawn them as a boss fight or ally.

A 1-51 civvie shouldn't be a problem, you must have something 24- or 47+ in there.

Ah, yes, I see. I'm being dim.

force the main D.E. to appear

[/ QUOTE ]

If a mob type doesn't exist within a level range, there is nothing you can do to make them appear in that range. You can never get level 40+ herders, because they don't exist in the game. There is a trick that can make them appear as outleveled mobs though.

[ QUOTE ]
how would that aid the game or plug a hole stalkers?

[/ QUOTE ]

Stalkers have fewer defense sets than any other AT that gets them. And of those only one or two are actually any good, and 2 are completly gimped. And they fell behind even further in issue 13 when they where the only melee AT not to get a new set.

[ QUOTE ]
stalkers already have 3 sets that rely primarily on defence SR

[/ QUOTE ]

That's because on stalkers, defense based sets are far superior to resistance based sets, for two reasons.

1) Resistance based defence relies on the gradual chipping away of hp being replaced by regen/healing. With low max hp, res doesn't keep you alive for long enough for this tactic to be effective. It is much better to not be hit in the first place.

2) +def makes it easier to use hit and run tactics, since if you are hit it will prevent you rehiding, and can break Placate.


More importantly, Ice Armor pairs with Ice Melee, and Ice Melee would be an excellent stalker set, since the soft control greatly increases stalker suvivability, hit and run ability, and what they are able to contribute to a team.



And answer me this, why Brutes and not scrappers? There are no concerns about the performance of an Ice/Ice scrapper. meaning it could be implemented with much less effort, yet no one seems to suggest it.

It's like Electric tankers: "lets suggest porting a set to the AT on which it would perform worst!".

I think you mean you "are" going to ignore the criticisms.


The criticisms are not for your benefit. In the off chance that the devs look at this, I don't want them to look at this thread and be tempted to push Ice for brutes higher up thier To Do list, ahead of those things that would actually add to the game and plug a gap where options are limited (i.e. Ice for stalkers).

[ QUOTE ]
and considering this is a suggestion forum i recon I'm entitled to post a suggestion regardless of whether or not its eventually going to happen

[/ QUOTE ]

Indeed. And other people are equally entitled to critise the suggestion because they think there are other things that would add more to the game and should be done first.

[ QUOTE ]
Now, how on earth do I get it to spawn an ambush of just one AV??

[/ QUOTE ]

You can't, at least not at the moment, but we are promised some improvements to ambushes.

You can spawn your AV as a Boss Fight, but it will be in a static location.
