Vigilance is hated.

[/ QUOTE ]

Says you.

After 3 lvl50 def's (emp, dark, kin) and a 4th coming up (cold), I don't hate it and am fine with it as is. I have seen players indicate it could be tweaked but definitely not saying "hated".
So /unsigned to the OP.

Happy b-day Work Ethic!

And great post up there!

2. Get rid of range slotting...everywhere! Now put down the pitch forks and hear me out. From a conceptual point of view, it makes no sense that an energy beam, bullet, or ball of fire won't travel it's maximum distance every time. ...

[/ QUOTE ]

For the first, sure, that would be nice.

Now for the second, I don't view it as travelling at a range, but being more effective at a range. Using imagination, if you fire off an energy beam, it is very coherent at close range. But at it moves away, the beam becomes less coherent and thus less effective until has no effect. A bullet would curve downwards due to gravity. A ball of fire would consume its fuel source and burn out. And I am sure other examples could be give. These "range" enhancements allow for a longer distance before that happens.

But this could be just me.

Honestly, the BB exit is a poorly designed death trap that badly needs a revamp. Good PvP ideas shouldn't be snuffed because of other design choices that foster bad play.

[/ QUOTE ]

Sooooo, I can't slot for range and damage and attack a player that made the choice to enter a PvP and was warned they could be attacked by players at any time...

Maybe some thing like a 30 second timer should be added so players can't be attacked or they team or learn how to get in and out safely or not enter the zone unprepared or like look up when they enter and zone out if heroes are there or like go at off times or whatever...

Ummm, yeah, it's poorly designed.

Fun run. But I can't believe my scrapper was dying to Council! Voo is right OMG!!! I am a squishy.

Arggggghhhh!!

Can't you do both?

I still have nightmares of trying to walk and chew gum at the same time...

Arggggghhhh!!

I forgot about this. I wanted to do a LGTF or (more hopefully) a BSF tonight for Friday TF's. I guess people will be working on the badges tonight.

Tried it out last night. The new costume animations are alright - I still prefer the other ones. I liked being able to "fix" the height of a couple of toons that I made oh-so-long ago and didn't want to re-roll. The rest I wasn't really interested in.

Unless you really want to change some parameters of some of your toons or got cash laying around, there will be other packs. (Not very resounding if at all...)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

Currently this thread. Seeing how it got started off with a mis-read from the get-go.

I still blame Voodoo.

Geesh, all the drama I miss going on vacation.

/sad missed 2 weeks in a row now. Curse that great summer weather and family/friend time!!!

[ QUOTE ]

That could be what BI is seeing, or she's just not realizing that the Tanker or whoever doesn't have the aggro on a mob, then targets them with a large debuff/heal (Twilight Grasp is one of the largest value Debuff Mods out there, in regards to the threat formula. Howling Twilight is another one. In short: Dark Miasma is a threat fiend, but not because of the heal, but because of the crap ton of debuffs) and gets the aggro.

It has nothing to do with the heal, but with the debuffs.

[/ QUOTE ]

And toss in if D/D def, then cone attacks like FS, TT and NF could hit mobs outside the tank's (or equivalent) aggro range.

[ QUOTE ]

Be on a team. Be a Defender, Corruptor or Controller with access to a heal. Targeted or untargeted, but especially targeted.

Watch which person on the team draws a ton of aggro; those NPCs want the healer dead and they want the healer dead now. The most striking example of this I have ever seen was on a blueside respec trial.

[/ QUOTE ]
Completely untrue.

My 50 emp def, 50 /therm corr, 50 controller with med pool, and 50 blaster with aid self do NOT generate aggro like you are saying. I could toss in my 50 kin def and 50 /kin corr as well as my 50 D3 def do NOT generate "a ton of aggro" when teamed.

[ QUOTE ]
They don't like targeted rezzes either, come to think of it. Anyone who thinks Howling Twilight or Twilight Grasp is an aggro-free power is free to go test what I'm saying; HT in particular will draw the wrath of every last NPC in the area pronto. TG draws aggro from the target. Please do not waste your time telling me it doesnt.

[/ QUOTE ]

Untrue again. My 50 D3 def does NOT "draw the wrath of every last NPC in the area".

[ QUOTE ]
If you can keep players alive, NPCs don't like you. I've played enough Dark/darks to know. And my Blasters respecced out of Medicine because they got tired of dying. As soon as that pool was gone, problem solved!

[/ QUOTE ]

My blaster died because I was generating too much DAMAGE. My D3 def from using DN...

Amazing.

Before things get busy around here, looking more like less than 50/50 as to being on. So, if I am not on by 930ish, I am in the midst of some pre-4th of July cheers!

Maybe I should PM a dev finally.

[/ QUOTE ]
By all means. Though the LGTF is now just 45+, so not sure if having these available at 40 makes sense

Also, toss in why we STILL can't have offline invites/promotion/demotion for SGs.

[/ QUOTE ]

Promotion/demotion I can agree with, but offline invites... I can imagine all the spam invites players will get.

[/ QUOTE ]
One single option to decline sg invites would take care of that IMO. We already have 3 - 4 chat options that seem redunant as it is

And once you're in an SG, you wouldn't get them anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, will try to do tomorrow. Castle I think would be the best to try.

I wish too for offline invites. I don't consider spamming invites a problem. I guess if you level to 50 and are never in a SG, it could be annoying. But for me, if I create a new toon at lvl1 in the tutorial and then log off immediately so I can go to toon in SG to invite the newly offline lvl1, I just can't see how much you can get spammed in that short amount of time. Again, this is just my experience with the game and spamming SG invites may be problematic to a lot of players.

I would be up for Sis P or really anything. Problem is not 100% I will be on Friday night. Some kind of holiday event is going on this 3 day weekend.

Will confirm Friday.

I got a few thousand lying around doing nothing. Why can't I sell/trade/give these away again?

I need to suggest Rikti-O's again lol! Some time ago, someone was suggesting what to do with excess VG merits and I tossed in Rikti Origin Enhancements (RO's). The post has long been purged.
In short they would be like HO's or sHO's. Maybe could add a twist to the mixing of attributes they enhance. Plus they could start to be available at 40, 45, and 50 (thus can be out leveled).
With things like the rewards from the Titan, there would be prior precedence to add them.
And the story of their origin would be from the LGTF and the fact that the Rikti attack Hamidon, and stole enough information to create RO’s (to combat the sHO’s that heroes and villains can get).
The prices would be around 1500 to 2000 merits, which I think would be enough raids/mission work to equal a STF or LRSF and be something we could spend our merits on. Maybe I should PM a dev finally.

Well, with arena, you and a couple of friends (or multiboxing) could just set the parameters needed and get the badges without risk - like you just standing their looking around while your friends beat you up. I am always a bit concerned with PvP badges certain personal rewards since people can control the risk and make it zero.

However, I do like the kiosk idea a lot!

Go Canada! Hey, my mom was a Newfie. It is beautiful up there.

Would like to hear too!

Yesterday was quite hectic and couldn't get any play time in. Just logged on one toon for the patch and to see what badges were gone from MA. Surprised I got certain badges also (thx MP and Masque for those Monday Night Fights! - which I had to miss last night ).

Just because of my personality, I would like to see the 2 new TFs since they are new. Hopefully people will still be running them later this week when I get a chance to sign up for them.
Still need to check the dom changes since I have one at 41 and is my current project.
And will finally get back to reviewing some arcs since reading about the upcoming changes and deciding to wait before reviewing.

I16 and Rogue are too early for me to judge.
