A good PvP build can be very different from a good PvE build. Allow players to toggle between builds so they can use the same toon to be good at both PvE and PvP.



One thing we've talked about doing on and off again since before COV launch was to enable "secondary builds" of a character for PVP. Essentially, you would have a second power list, with separate slotting, which you would use for PVP encounters. This idea is still something we want to investigate.

PLEASE do this. I have wanted dual builds for a long time as I hate having to sacrifice pve for pvp. This would bring a lot of casual pvp'ers back into pvp zones.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes DO EET

Great Job Posi.....great job to those that assisted on this too. Kudos

Is it just me, or are there NOT enough melee powers for a Mental Manipulation?

Hence BAB's post about giving a new power. I guess we wait and see

Now here is the thing when it comes to stalkers. What power do you foresee being removed from elec armor to place in hide Lightning Field or Power Sink, hmmmmm? As we all know stalkers never had access to an end draining/restoration power nor a damage aura (which that would make since). Will stalkers finally have the chance to drain/restore end?

Energy Aura Stalkers have *always* been able to do this.

Then again, lol EA Stalkers

OH I missed that >.>......Though i am no fan of the EA set. It lacks something imo and I can't figure out what it is. Its nice on the eyes, but I can not keep one past lvl 12

Rofl I called some of them I guess someone is gonna go punch something on the dark/dark tanker.

and here they are

from http://www.totalvideogames.com/artic...e_12_12989.htm

Blaster
New Primary - Psychic Blast
New Secondary - Mental Manipulation

Corruptor
New Primary - Electrical Blast
New Secondary - Storm Summoning

Controller
New Primary - Plant Control
New Secondary - Thermal Radiation

Dominator
New Primary - Earth Control
New Secondary - Electricity Manipulation

Defender
New Primary - Cold Domination
New Secondary - Ice Blast

Mastermind
New Secondary - Storm Summoning

Brute
New Primary - Battle Axe
New Primary - War Mace
New Secondary - Super Reflexes

Stalker
New Primary - Electric Melee
New Secondary - Electric Armor

Tank
New Primary - Dark Armor
New Secondary - Dark Melee

Scrapper

Anyone want to take a stab at what they think we might get?

Here is my thought.

Tanker: Electric/Electric
Scrapper: Electric/Eletric
Controller: Plant/Thermal
Defender: Cold/Ice
Blaster: Psi/Psi Manipulation (port from Dominator Psi assault)

Brute: Axe & Mace/Ice Armor I really want to say Regen for some reason :/
Stalker: BS/Electric
Dominator: Illusion/Electric Assault
Corruptor: Psi/Storm
Mastermind: Nothing/Sonic or empathy

Remember this is my stab at what I think to come. So hold your flames and/or explainations for reasons why you think this should or should not be. Not to mention this is something will make time go by.

Dark/Dark Tanker, heh. I just had to do it

Actually the blaster secondary is new. Might be a combo of some other powers, but as a set, new.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's not at all the way I read BaB's post.
The blaster secondary is getting a new power in their secondary... not a new set of powers.
That's 1 (one) new power from an [u]existing set[u] (is how I read it anyways.)
This is going to be the same for other ATs, like the stalker primary, since no other sets have AS or placate, and no other set has hide.
Some sets will clearly have to be somewhat tweaked.

You can interpret it for yourselves here:

We'll all find out later today anyway.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the most bizarre interpretation I've read yet...

Did you read his post in context?

"most powersets ended up being straight ports. [...] the Blaster secondary ended up with a completely new power."

"the" blaster secondary kinda suggests that there's going to be one secondary, as in singular, which further implies that it's going to be a new powerset fitted with powers from existing powersets, with one new power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, I see that BAB said "a completely new power" not a "completely new powerset" for the secondary. However people interpret things in their on way. I get this info as well from the post. now you could not argue if he said "completely new powerset"

They've made some sort of deal with gamezone.
It's not up to them, it's now up to gamezone to decide what time they update their site.
The longer they wait, the more hits they generate from people refreshing for updates. Don't hold your breath, it'll be late afternoon at the earliest.

Marketing wants you to check that site over and over again to generate hits (and therefore income.)
NCsoft gets no money from people frantically refreshing these boards.

Gamezone does on their site.
It's called 'selling-out 101'.



I think Florida State teaches that class freshman year

heh, which is why I will wait until later to check that page. I will log in and prolly do a TF or something which will take about 3 hours or so just to pass time. Then I will check the page after I eat lunch and run some errands. That should take 4+ hours.

*gasps* more goodies, he says? Is it the Muffin Man? I have a thank you present for LH for this generous information.

Warning: For Lighthouse eyes only

I have not but it would a good idea

Danke

I thought I misread it I was too busy looking for the name/word "Igneous" as that was an obvious issue or encoutering their content in the mid to higher levels that I know of.

So is there anywhere else to encounter Igneous since my last post was pretty much burried by the next 4/5 pages right after I refreshed the page when I submitted my post? >.>

The changes I see sound pretty good with one exception. I did not see anything about Igneous. Unless I missed that in the article. Will Igneous (since they are hard to come by other than Hollows) still be in Hollows? I ask this for badge reasons.

I was just thinking this myself.

well hell since I can't quote atm (not sure why). I will say that I was thinking of MM's getting 2 secondaries to make up for the no new primary.

I'm a card-carrying Patron Pool hater, but I still think the VEATs look cool. My final judgment will depend on the powers they get.

Agreed with Gothika

Though I could agree with the rename cost, but the server transfer is resonable....also the wedding expansion is optional if ya want it, buy it you don't...well don't buy it

Why is it that women can wear shoulder capes with the Tux (Buttler & Deluxe) and men cannot?

First off, mobs DON'T have infinite range, it's often quite long, but never infinite. Even Hami and Rikti Pylons have limits to their range.

Second, you listed some ways that NPCs outshine players, but did you think about the ways players outshine NPCs?

We have waaay more powers, generally we have better accuracy, our Intelligence is way beyond theirs (well, usually), etc.

[/ QUOTE ]

Tell ya what....

Kick back and relax, perhaps read the thread in its entirety before doing your 1, 2, 3's . And also some of it is exaggeration (like infinite range).

Well this is true and not true at the same time.

I tested this myself and with a few friends. It seems that PvP mishes only increase in xp for the first mish you do in a PvP zone. every mish after unless you exit and re-enter the zone will be normal xp.

that would be interesting....bet DB/WP is FotM most common because of the unique system.

I have a TA/Sonic defender and I get "what an odd combo" everytime I play her
