Quote:No, what I want is people to stop promulgating rumors. If you've got a source, I'd like to see it.Originally Posted by Lothic
You're the one who seems to want to prove this Issue -won't- go live as close to September 1st as possible to offer us Power Customization around the same time Champions Online goes live.
All I said on the direct matter is that I'd be surprised if Issue 16 went into Open Beta this week or next week. I'd be very pleased, but still surprised.
Now... if you think that sort of thing is me "want[ing] to prove this Issue -won't- go live as close to September 1st" then you're completely wrong.
EDIT: And yes, I know I did the whole rumor schtick in an earlier post, but I at least had the decency to say so. -

Posi twittered that this Issue would have a relatively short beta cycle.

Quote:Correct. I believe it depends whether or not NCsoft has an established business/branch in those locations.Originally Posted by PeerlessGirl
Actually,
it depends where you live
NC charges tax in California, Texas, and Washington, also I know that a friend of mine in Arizona has tax as well, so YMMV I suppose. -
My sig says why. And don't you doubt it, BAB.

Quote:Didn't it just go into Closed Beta last week?Originally Posted by Dr_Graviton
I would not be surprised if we get an announcement very soon about it going into open beta either this week or next.
Going into Open Beta this week, or even next, would be very surprising.
EDIT: Or maybe you meant we'd get announcement this/next week. That I can believe. -
Quote:No. Blasters will NEVER get the Radiation Emission set as a Secondary. Or Primary. Or Epic/Ancillary.Originally Posted by SkyRocker
And will blasters also be getting the radiation emission secondary?
As for a prospective Radiation Manipulation Secondary...? Doubtful. No mention of that has been made at all in the announcements. IF (and that's a big if) it does come to fruition, it'll be a huge surprise. -
Rumor has it*, the Test Server exploded. They're frantically trying to get a replacement server put in ASAP.
So yeah, that probably sucks for the Beta Testers.

Just to make it clear for everything else:
For Holds, Sleeps, Stuns, Immobs, and Confuses (y'know, powers whose Mag value is of greater importance), there is no such thing as +Mag.
There is no power that can increase those Mags.
Everything you think is +Mag is actually a form of technical trickery.
For example: Dominator's Domination Inherent Power. It does not do +Mag. What it really does is set the flag which allows the Hold/Sleep/Stun/Immob/Confuse/etc to actually cast another version of itself on top of itself.
It's the same mechanic as a Critical Hit. -

Now can we fix Oil Slick so it works correctly in AE content?
HAHAHAHAHAHAno.

Personally, I go:
1-16: Drops. Buy Nothing.
17-26: Buy DOs.
22-50: Craft Dropped IOs (25+)
27-50: Buy SOs
32-50: Buy IOs
Holding off until 17 gives me more leeway in slotting out with DOs. Same goes with waiting until 27 for SOs. Usually though i've got enough 25 IOs in me that I don't have to buy too many SOs by then. -

Procs in Flash Arrow, when triggered, will cause aggro and will break the -Perception Flash has. Unless you really want that Dark Watcher in there, I suggest removing it. Unless you don't mind random aggro when you use it, that is.
The -Rech proc in Glue is somewhat useless. -Rech is only really good when applied in high levels. Glue has some (as does Ice and Entangling, but you didn't take either one), but not enough to pile up with the proc. Suggest replacing with Impeded Swiftness Chance for Smashing Damage proc.
Blazing Arrow taken WAY too late. That's your heavy hitter. Get it ASAP.
Rain of Arrows underslotted for Rech. That's your main AoE attack later on. Give it the love it deserves.
Assault and Tactics both overslotted for EndRed. You've got Stam slotted out fully along with the +End proc. You don't need 2 EndReds in them. Suggest removing and reallocating slots.
Other than that, it looks fine-ish. I don't think I would play it, but if you like it, then that's what counts. Have fun! -

Are you suggesting that there is yet another? -
Quote:That depends on your definition of "much of anything."Originally Posted by Seraphael
But to be brutally honest with you, energy just doesn't pack enough punch to destroy much of anything in a single alpha strike.
Agreed. Which is why I'm usually the first one to hit at a new spawn.Quote:And if a great portion of a spawn is knocked all over the place, even severely wounded - chances are you will detract from the damage potential of a team rather than adding to it (especially if you have a RoA archer onboard).
Good points. But sitting back and Hoverblasting is limiting as well. You've got melee attacks. Use 'em!Quote:If you pick up Hover and make sure you angle your attacks slanting downwards, KB can actually be turned into something beneficial in a team situation as the spawn is generally knocked down or just a little distance back. Furthermore, hover blasting in its present form, especially if coupled with strong ranged defense from IO sets, will increase blaster survivability significantly.
When I say I move around and alpha, I mean I pop BU and Aim as I'm running in and following up with Burst and Bonesmash on the closest thing still living. -
I've yet to get any comment on my rampant KB when on my Eng/Eng.
Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm constantly moving around to knock things into walls and other obstacles so they don't fly around too far. Or that my alpha tends to destroy 80% of any would-be foes. -
Quote:"Cant [use] Oil Slick Arrow with Blazing Arrow"?Originally Posted by NovaThunder
I got question, did they fix that where you can't us Oil Slick Arrow with the Blazing Arrow anymore?
AFAIK, there was never a problem like that.
If you mean the bug where OSA spawns as a friendly target inside the Mission Architect, I can't say one way or the other. I just don't know.
If you mean something else, uh... elaborate? -
Poo. I would've wanted to go on this but it's on Freedumb () and I'm going out of town in a bit.
Have fun! -
