    learn to test much?...nope i guess not.
  2. i wasnt able to soft cap mine and i pretty much at the time had unlimited funds to do it..i think i was at 33% melee at best..mine now is built for recovery ,recharge and acc

    fire aura has no regen abilities so i didnt bother with that.

    3 - FULL Debt began at level 10, not level 20.
    4 - The amount of debt earned was much higher
    5 - The debt cap was many times larger than it currently is. (Level 35 blasters with debts in the hundreds of millions anyone?)
    1.yes but we had what back then tons more people in the game which was hopping mad at that point with all the servers full winterlords massive p.ling xp,everyone used frostfire to p.l. early with and then you really only had to play to lvl 36 back then cause why?..kraken farming and we all did it. then went back and got it again and farmed it once more.

    so here what it was back in 04/05

    yell out sewer team then come out at 5.
    go to hollows and find frost fire farm
    then go to steel for alittle why?..cause its winterlord time baby woo hoo!!
    then when your done p.ling off the winerlods lusca came out and we all farmed lusca all night cause he was mad xp too.
    then head to bricks and get to 36 and farm krakens in the sewers until 41 beucase then your a filler on teams in p.i.
    then get to 42 in one mish and get a wolf farm and doorsit/sidekick till your 50


    yeah it was real hard back then wasnt it and dont tell me you didnt do it cause everyone did it!! regardless of the xp curve which was in the 30s and thats cause they nerfed the abandoned sewer trial so now it wasnt worth going to.

True, after that combination and the pain the rest of the team dishes out there's not much left so you move on to the next group and rinse/repeat Combustion/FSC until SC is up again.

    .

    ahhh see your talking one mob with a team..im talking one mob by yourself as your team makeup may differ..the issue is what happens when/if that mob is still going?.remember most will have bosses and sure you killed all the minions and almost all the lt's but then what?..this is where fire/fire benefits.see relying on aao for 2 bosses and maybe a lt wont get you hardly anything where fe is most likely still running after both drop bu off.and now you have to do it with just combustion and fsc cause the recharge on sc is silly.but not on a fire tank where i still have fireball still up again and can continue my chain with no issues and you cant with shields.

    and being that fe and bu are up every mob and i have consume to help with aoe goodniess and end recovery where shield doesnt.plus my blazing aura still ticking off( means after a hub mob if you dont have any cabs you need to stop for a sec.which relying on cabs isnt best for anyone) the grander sceme is to fire.i have tried farming with most of my tanks including my ice tank. its mostly the small stuff that counts in the end between fire and shields but its damn close and trust me my shields is pimped out every bit as my fire tank so its a good comparision.

  11. did you fix your puter yet?


    jo0 ow meh ah p.l.!!!
  12. really is about how you slot a tank onto how tough it will be.its also what your doing that effects you as well. some primaries just play better against npcs/factions.

    did you know you can almost s/l cap resistance and still almost soft cap a elec tank that can rival a soft capped invul?..sure elec needs to pay out more but it can be done

    same be be said about stone vs invul. i can 6 slot common i.o's in granite and invuls would have to pay way more in sets and rely heavy in bonus's to "contend"

    when it comes to fire say against an invul my fire tank can beast out the shard and ive seen invuls and ice fall so quick it aint even funny.so theres really isnt any one good answer. alot of things have to be taken in to see what you would like to play and then see how good you can play it.


    p.s. i think someone ran the numbers of fire vs shields and fire won however it was close. i have a shield/fire purpled out and a fire/fire purpled/pvp i.o'd out and my fire/fire still outdamages thanks to a big chuck of recharge in my bonus's .aao is nice but only in HUGE mobs.one or two aint squat where fe and bu are huge no matter the number.there lies in the issue in why it might not be more damaging then a fire tank is or could be. and if they get ppp's and can grab the aoe immob .burn becomes a huge factor again in gr thanks to both fe and bu buffing burn.

    What the devs ARE cracking down on is exploitive farming in the AE that give far greater reward than what they should according to the risk they pose. And they should. Yes, things with the AE rewards balance have been messy as a result but leaving exploits in a game will do far more damage than fixing them.

    Also the idea that people who farmer are the 'many' and the rest are the 'few' is absurd. Yes, it is.
    if they didnt we wouldnt have changed sidekicking 3 times to try and stop it.if your old enough here to remember 41 being the minimum lvl to go into a lvl 50 mish and get xp.then to combat that it was 46. now everyone gets to be 49. all to stop or fix farming high lvl xp

    Well, if you're looking to do AE missions only for the XP, that may be the issue. In my opinion, the main purpose was to let players share their own ideas and content with other players. It's basically officially sanctioned fan fiction.

    i did only cause after 6 years here do i really needed to get off the same arcs that we've been doing since the beginning of the game.

    however now im back to it cause i still need a balance of xp .the rewards of the ae dont match the risk anymore. the devs took care of that.hence why its dead on most servers.heres hoping they find a way to fix it in closed gr beta.at least they admit the problem unlike the markets issues

    ground breaking maybe..but it comes with too big a price tag in the xp nerfing.which is why i wont touch the thing.

    but like the pvp changes they think they know whats best and never listen .even now they have to go into gr closed beta to try and figure out where they went wrong with it . cool as it may be they need to let people play it their way. farming is part of any mmo.stop trying to please the few and let the many quit.
  16. Between the ae nerf( multiple times) and the pvp nerf (again multiple times) then add in no content for the year and yes i know iss 17 came out..really there was nothing in there that interests me either.i dont wanna do a new posi tf nor am i a badge *****.so besides ds which i had to preorder gr to get .i wouldnt be here at all.even still im really only still here for new inventions and high lvl stuff like incarnates.which is the only reason im geting gr in the first place.

    then including myself where i was only one month this year so far and with 2 accounts.ill be 50 on my ds mm by saturday so ill be cancelling both accounts again and back for gr.there simply isnt any other reason to stay active here.

    if they would fix the lousy drop rates for pvp recipes and purples i might stick around more. but their too busy to worry about a dead market. how odd that the economy is bad and so is the economy in the game.yet they refuse to fix it.

    oh well..i guess thats just more money to spend somewhere else. *shrugs*
  17. what you need in gr closed beta is the smart ones who know how to get past theses "issues" to see if they can.

    the normal players you have arent the ones that come up with ways to get past it all to use to their advanatage.send in the farmers to fix the farming or else you ll get nothing accomplished..im just telling you now so i can tell you i said it later.your current roster of beta players arent gonna get it done.

    as a farmer/pler myself i can tell you i dont even use that ae .so id be happy to exploit it till im blue in the face.
  18. my my my!..such hate from people telling me to stop hating.heed your own warnings much?


    thought not. theres an ignore button if you dont like me or my posts . but i wont sugarcoat anything when it comes down to my money and wasting it. thats the best part about working for a living. i want certain things with my money and if it doesnt happen then guess what. i have every right to make sure it gets known until its fixed or i get my money back. ahh the american way rocks even if its getting over a bad patch job by the devs

    thankfully you guys and your hate make my posts stick out more.for that i thank you.i know the devs wont answer me and between most of your dribble i might have even gotten thrown under the rug. but with your constant hate spam toward my posts you made them even better.

    sorry to tell you though but um people dont always have the same opinions that you all do and infact a few here actually agree with me. so your basically just directing your little school girl crushes toward me and frankly i got big shoulders so bring it on baby!
  19. yeah really wont matter which way you go.i had doc wounds in my firetank and actually took out the end/recharge one and placed in a heal common i.o..i was healing at 940 hp's and missed just a few seconds thanks to slotting up some global recharges


    i dont use dw's now thouggh as i have the 5 panaceas in my healing flames and placed the 6th one( the + hp/end) in health..i do get 925 hp's with it. every 14 or 15 seconds but with hasten im about 140% recharge so hes built that way

    odd that you would for scrappers and not tanks..oh wait..no its not.
  21. says you..

    keeping quiet doesnt solve nor help. something im sure your aware of or at least i hope you can understand

    and i unlike you would have rathered waited then to rush anything.so as your opinion is to rush it out to make a deadline that clearly it wasnt ready for mine isnt.this is a clear result on not trying hard enough to fix the things by a certain date.which they clearly have said is why they dont like to do in the first place then did anyways.

    if you are a closed beta tester i see why this game is the way it is.thanks it does explain alot.so unless you can actually be helpful in getting my 45 dollars back your wasting your time and mine and i really could care aless about your opinions. stop harrassing me for the sake of listening to yourself.

    oh and tow im not trying to be a dick either...but dont tell me i dont have a right to complain nor ***** when i just paid 45 dollars this week for a non working game. so if you and gg wanna harrass me then maybe you do need to step back and heed your own advice.


    and gg it was nice when you wenrnt here tellnig everyone how wrong they were and you so right..i see by your posts it wont be much longer till you go back on it..happy banning to ya!
  22. lemme explain it for you tow.

    this has nothing to do with new emotes,costumes or standing in atlas with a 50 or loving the devs for everything they do.this is about pushing a huge bugged out issue before it was ready and using beta players who dont do enough testing.

    now that they are working overtime and new patches like todays to fix the garbage they put out i think it shows you exactly why i have a right to be upset and angry in paying for 2 subs and a preorder and not being able to play without crashing every hour.

    im also upset about the "techs" telling me to play in safe mode as a solution.im more upset about the hotfix,lag,ati,nividia,crashes and bugs. not to mention that the market is down. server tokens are down and basically this game is running at only half strength. now you might not have any issues but that doesnt mean i dont have a right to complain or "whine" about it.

    as one of the ones WITH crashing im not happy with the work the devs are doing and as a paid costumer i have EVERY right to complain. so stop harrassing me..thank you

    get it now or you still confused?
  23. live server tokens dont work atm either..their also broke...


    and dont complain the fanbois will hear you and call you whiny for wanting a working game.

    funny coming from a fanbois about it ..guess it means nothing coming from you.i mean after all who should be complaining about a product they pay for when it doesnt work..


    maybe you should tell toyota that as well...screw those people and their sticky gas pedals too!

    i have no right to play a game i pay for ya screw me!! stupid whiny people.

    yeah you make sense ...oh and gg stay off me ..i dont think your comments are funny nor cute and have no issue helping you get back to the ban list.

    yes the last 16 issues before that.then the half issue nerfs as well

    if you dont know or remember half issues then you really shouldnt be quoting people
