Everyone know the Tank Archetype get the most drops of all the types. This is because of their "Death Dealing" powers. I call it the front line bonus...but you'll never read this in the wiki

There is 100% no way that you have to be the one dealing the "killing blow" to get a purple [even as a trick].
On incarnate trials i get a ton of purples and most of the time its on my ill/rad when im either shouting out the tactics [thus not killing anything since i put away pets when i do that] or in heal mode [when the AVs are at 10% hp]. So the whole argument of dealing a killing blow is mute to be honest.
The teaming aspect is your best bet though and you can go months without a purple or you can get about 10 in a week [know a friend on Union Chat had something like that, lucky *****]. There never has been a trick to getting purples, never has and never will.
Turn on the herostats and post them for your trial runs, ok? I'm just curious. Some of my comments have been based on statistical analysis of herostat files. -

I was talking about regular TFs not incarnate trials. Those are different. -

You're looking for the Beta server, not the Test server.

My controller is "Punchy", but even respeccing my Emp/Psi, I don't think I could give her more ooomph even if I tried. My Snipe is really my damage "Winning Ticket" but my other ranged attacks are a solid chain.
She does have spiritual teir three, which compliments her very well, and the recharge means more attacks, but again...yeilding nothing. -
Quote:Back to my point before I was rudely interupted. I have a similar situation to yours. I have a Dom, Controller, and MM. The MM no problems, the Dom not problems. The Controller who was my first character get nothing. I have to do welfare from my other characters to help keep her current. I have finally decided to respec her with more of the other powers to give her more punch. This is the only solution after playing weeks at a time with no minimum results.Originally Posted by Nyx
Agreed. But, being in prox is all I can do. Im very PBAoE centric with both my mains based on the nature of their powers. Also, because of the fact that I tend to be somewhat Squishy, I really do rely on the aggro management of tanks and such.
Heck, my troller herself, although a bubbler and grav is extremely agressive in melee, and in most ITF's she gets nothing, and with most of those missions being cave based it's safe to say that proximity is not the issue. Although, as mentioned she does get at least some nice things. -

Residentx10: Please don't spread misinformation. Drops do not work that way. You do not have to get the kill shot to get a drop, and proximity to your teammates has no effect on what kinds of drops you get. See this: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Recipe...nemy_Defeat.29 "If a team defeats an enemy that drops a recipe, it goes to a random team member."
Nyx: Sounds like a case of bad luck. I rarely see purples myself while everyone else around me gets them every run, and I play everything BUT support characters most of the time. It happens.
The wiki is not the source of my information. The wiki is wrong about a lot of things because they don't take into account the software bugs in the game. I read the wiki but I don't consider it the final authority. The wiki is the young, inexperienced players hangout. They want to comment with authority but they have minimum actual game playing time so they quote from there to try to have their comments sound stronger. -
Quote:I forgot to add this but reading your comments, you must be in close proximity and make the killing shot for the purple. I say proximity because I play a lot too(freedom) and I've had loose teams where they break off and fight and teams where they stay together and fight. In the herostats, the stay together team always get more overall drops.Originally Posted by Nyx
I'm on Virtue, but I am a member of a very very large SG that so active it's super active. I am never alone, always in a full group and due to the nature of how I build my Emp/Psi she is litterally always in close prox of the group for aura healing, aura buffing, and providing PBAoE defenses through leadership pools.
I tested the same issue on my Grav/FF, and although she at least has the ability to generate damage, she does spend a lot of time rebubbling or toggling force bubble when needed or generally holding everything on the map, and while her damage is respectable (Actually pretty Awesome) Im not going to compete on the same level as others for the amount of mobs I kill. She too is also very much in the thick of battle because of the nature of dispursion bubble being also PBAoE.
But she also get nothing purple. Although she does seem to get better rares than my emp.
Seriously. Did the Statesman 2 times this week with my Empath. We steam rolled it. I left with a Hami-O (Cuz the end of the mission allowed me to pick it) a Louisville Slammer, three normal recipes for SO's and a Zephyr.
My alternate runs provided similar results....or worse. -
I'll see GL but probably not till it hits the dollar theatre. The review said that CGI was everywhere but the live scenes was just so bad.
Also, from the scenes, GL was uninspiring about applying his mind to the ring. -
I went in the test server this morning and could not access the 20.5 Stuff. How or where do I join the Keyes Trial. It's in the LFG Queue, right? I access the LFG and it only showed the two trials.
-
I read the paper and they are horrible. In the Baltimore Sun, they said the GL makes Thor look like a Masterpiece...that is just sad.

There is a trick to getting purples. You have to be on teams and they have to fight in close proximity for the right drops. What server do you play on? I'm on Freedom. Also, with the next version/20.5 the purples become purchaseble from a vendor.

Post a date here and start a signup sheet. I can do Sunday night or any evening next week. Are you on the Hero or Villain side?
-
Hero or Villain? What times do you play and what days?
-
How are they gonna fix it?
In just this post, we have shown that every experience is diffferent in the game. There's nothing to fix because it's not the game...it's the network.
This game will always be dodgy for people outside of the US. I have a 150MB FTTH connection(all light/wavelength to the NCSOFT and I still have problems. -
I went back online this evening and had the same problem again. I was on track with 24 for a perfect run with my new MM and I got disconnected. Today was worse, I got those stupid "tell what your were doing" windows.

Quote:That's great include me on all returns to freedom.Originally Posted by BackFire
It's great to see this much early excitement for the event! We usually run from 12noon to 3pm Eastern. We get in 3 arcs on average, per run...depending on if they're long or short arcs and how well-rounded the teams come out.
This is our first round of Ænvasions and, at 1 server per week, it's taken 2 months to finally hit Freedom! We're currently discussing a schedule for returning to each server, but we don't know when yet.
Of course, if someone from Freedom wanted to start up a monthly AE group, we'd be more than supportive and I'm sure a couple of our members have alts here that'd join in
I look forward to seeing ya'll on Sunday! -

Who is your telecom provider in Jordan?
Orange Jordan(french), http://www.orange.jo/en/index.php
Jordan Telecom,(merged with Orange)
Mada Telecommunication(portable wireless), http://www.mada.jo/
Kulacom Jordan(wimax), http://www.kulacom.jo/

Do you have a starbucks in your country? If you do then AT&T is there.

Quote:No, I didn't misunderstand you. Verizon/Worldcom/MCI is the backbone of the internet. Verizon may not be in your local country but to get to outside of Jordan I'm sure they connect to AT&T or Verizon or Global Crossing.Originally Posted by Wanted_NA
About the bolded part...we don't have Verizon in the Middle East, at least not in my country. I think you might be mistaking my country (Jordan) to the Jordan suburb in the US (forgot which states is that though).

Other providers all share the same problem as well. The infrastructure around here is what needs working.
Freedom, and recently, Union.
According to that link, download speed is 0.88 MB/Sec and upload is 0.17. But I have my browser, Skype, and Xfire online ATM. -
