Right now most toons are monsters with incarnate powers.
With these upcoming slots will things just go over the edge to "unbalanced/overpowered"? -
Quote:Just because you drop a ton of money on something instantly does not mean you are dedicated. I know plenty of people who drop a ton of money into hobbies that last a few months and then drop them like a hot potato. Dedication means you've wholly and earnestly set yourself aside for a task or for a person. Where money comes into that has no bearing on being dedicated toward a game.Originally Posted by Obsidius
Let me ask this question: who's the more dedicated customer, the one who spends $15 over several years to equal $x, or the one who spends $x up front? Both are giving NCSoft the same amount of $x.
Have I been against players being able to buy Vet Rewards in the past? Yes. But that was before the entire game switched to a F2P model. Arguably, with a F2P model, being able to purchase Vet Rewards with money makes sense. We're already monetizing everything else, after all, including access to things like /tells to Invention Licenses and purchasing entire IO sets outright. By all means, if someone wants to drop a few hundred dollars / euros in the Paragon Market to earn more Paragon Reward tokens, more power to them, IMPO.
What I am getting at that in their pursuit of chasing the dollar they've devalued the idea of what it means to be a dedicated player. No longer is there anything to set anyone apart. Now you can just buy your way toward vet rewards rather then having to work for it. -
Quote:Says who? You? How many people did it take to develop Vet Rew? How long did it take for each badge? What percentage of their work week was designated to designing them? What percentage of pay roll did they take up designing the entire system from start to finish? I can guarantee you that VR didn't take up much resources that it was the straw that would break accounting's back. Yes every little bit counts but its a catch 22 you make more money by making all of these rewards available at the cost of pissing off your large existing player base that spent the time it took to obtain these rewards.Originally Posted by rsclark
Yes, that's called being intelligent at business.
Having a series of rewards that most people will never have access to does not act as an incentive. It's just a waste of development time and effort. -
Some of those names were pure comedic genius.

Quote:That's exactly what I mean. Rather than working for something the developers are giving impatient players a means to obtain something a lot of people have worked for. Instead of saying STFU and work for it they're enabling a generation of "instant gratification-ers."Originally Posted by Oliin
Are you suggesting that I'm getting 'the shaft' because other players can get what I now have faster than I managed to get it?

Its a great set, does good single and aoe damage. I'd say a strong middle packer. It makes funny noises though.

I was doing some reading and read that Brutes have High damage and High defense, while Scrappers not so much as a brute. With that being said why would you make a scrapper over a brute, what advantage do you gain?
What can a scrapper do or do better than a brute? -
Not to mention most old timers are getting the shaft when it comes to their vet rewards.

"Free" doesn't = "includes everything"

Steet Justice/SD.
Combo level 3+Crushing Uppercut = Easily the highest base damage ST attack in the game. If you pop Combat Readiness(StJ's version of BU) and jump into a mob which fully saturates your AAO, you're looking at about 950 damage(crit chance included), which could be enhanced further with IO's and Musculature. -
If you're on Virtue I'll play with Murcielago
-
I wish I could reroll my fire/regen. He is good at PvP but without some form of primary mitigation he sucks compared to a sword or dark.

Everything

By adding a 3rd slot to Hasten you decrease its recharge time by 7 seconds. That's pretty significant.
-
Add a third slot to hasten, slot in two miracles to True grit and that is all I have for now. I'll look at it more a little later.

Quote:That's because everything else isOriginally Posted by Pureshadow2
Everything else seems weaker
and by weaker I mean put out less damage and have the same survivability in i trials.
Yes yes yes I know there are exceptions, jeeze guys
-
I haven't seen a dark/regen in about a year on Virtue. I'd imagine with some defense, and a ton of recharge they'd be tough.
-
I'd suggest Dark/Shield. I rarely die in any Incarnate trials and I am never at the iSoft Cap
-
OMG I hate Augurs!
-
I'm going StJ/Shield
-
I think we're getting off subject rather than discussing this and that why not come up with some recommendations of better buffs to regeneration?
-
With the advent of a lot of features that were once unthinkable before Freedom are now coming to fruition I'd like the developers to reconsider allowing players to change their arch type.
I would bet that a lot of people would pay a lot for this, I know I would like to have at least two of my characters change primary and secondary power sets. -
I don't want to be a frozen scrapsical!
-
One with the Shield is going to be great for this. I will love it!

I've played scrappers for a while but never got use to playing a Katana scrapper.
What is a good secondary that pairs great with Katana?
