It is rather annoying having to hold onto everything once you've claimed it from the email. Especially if you obtain large quantities of these attuned enhancements (which is guaranteed to happen over time), you'll eventually have to spread them out over multiple characters.

What the previous gents said.
As a powerset that gets 3 PBAoEs by level 10, if you're playing it at a range for anything but maybe AV fights you're doing it wrong.
More diverse defense will definitely help you out more.

Quote:Which global channels were you trying? Protectors main channels are Protector Vigilance and Protector TFs. It also depends on what time you try it at, of course, but the server is anything but dead.Originally Posted by TwilightPhoenix
But anyway, I took a more serious shot in-game. Maybe it's just Tuesday, but my server, Protector, was weirdly silent. Either nobody was on or they all went to new global channels. Sure, it's not the biggest server, but the global channels were usually chatty during evenings.

Choking Cloud and World of Confusion can fit in a few procs.

I'll second the plant control--you'll be able to slot just about all of the damage procs (and many of the non-damage ones) with just plant alone. For the rest, you'll be able to get some of them if you go Dominator.
It sounds like an entertaining idea. -
....obvious joke thread is obvious?

There is quite a difference between queuing to fire automatically over time vs auto-activating when X happens to your character.
-
I probably would have used a kheld ATO set in place of one of the posi sets on Nova form (and taken a slot from inner light so as to keep the posi's proc), but you seem to have met all the standard benchmarks.

Quote:Hmm, I suppose it's because it's a generic "new power tray" instead of a specific "horizontal" one. I could lose the space, I just never think about it.Originally Posted by Zaloopa
I always mean to ask, why does your tray #5 have that empty space under it?

The question is: If this was available in some fashion, would you want it?

Lady Grey didn't pan out due to people not showing up, so we fell back on the good old fashioned ITF. And afterwards, we talked about the past on a Respec #2. Good times.

Quote:Don't be silly. Everyone does. The thing is, as you get better at the game, you learn how to manage and prevent them. Without having the game hold your hand. And usually, if you do die at that point, it's because you knowingly did something dumb, or were faced with insurmountable spike damage.Originally Posted by Graeve_Digger
You guys don't faceplant anymore?

So I got those slots my characters are now locked till I spend those slots.
If I spend those slots are my characters unlocked .
Or do I have to spend those slots to unlock my character .
To answer your question, though: Yes, freebie players only get a certain amount of characters that they can play. You must choose which ones you can play, and then you'll be stuck with those until you...
- Buy more slots
- Pay a subscription
You can skip all that, yes, but only so long as you continue paying the subscription and/or earn a vet award level high enough so as to unlock more slots.Quote:Originally Posted by Lonelyshade
Or can I skip all that rubbishe by just buying VIP (so subcribing for 1 month+)
Well, before, you couldn't play for free at all. Now you can, but you are limited.Quote:Originally Posted by Lonelyshade
Can somebody explain why things are so complicated suddenly ? -

----- Concerns about Automation ---
The only really automated ones are ones that use an Insp when it drops in the tray, and the Oh Crap. All the others would work once, and then the Inspiration would have to be replaced via the game interface. -
Quote:I'm going to ignore this part, because it sounds like you're suggesting additional coding be added to change how inspirations would be used in this case. And nobody here is qualified to speak on that. Moving on...Originally Posted by Graeve_Digger
As noted the Inspiration ones require a lull to allow the insp to be used. That is an acceptable tradeoff between automation and normal play.
Don't you think that maybe suffering defeats helps teach people how to play? As you just said, you're a barely returning player, relearning the game. If the game saved you from the death that was caused from you not paying attention, what cause would you have to learn to play smarter?Quote:Originally Posted by Graeve_Digger
I am a returning play (was away for 1.5 years) so perhaps my face plants are me just getting reaquainted with the game, but I have noticed that my face plants seem to happen fast, and I am unsure why. Was I debuffed and didnt notice? That sort of stuff.
The objective is to help people use tools that they have available.
Do not forget that the people making replies have likely played quite a bit, so this is not necessarily directed to helping out people who play in a more controlled manner with full IOed out sets.
Also, you can keep track of debuffs and stuff by monitoring your combat attributes, which can be found and displayed on screen via your power tray. -
Rule of thumb: If you think it might get you in trouble, you probably shouldn't do it.

Also, OP, you'll want to pitch your idea in the Suggestions and Ideas section of the forum, not here. This forum is for player questions.

Before Abe asks...
I was thinking Lady Grey TF for tonight, as we haven't done it in a while. -
This sounds sort of like automated macros that the developers don't like, because it encourages bots and afk farmers.

I have calendar access too!
I just...don't remember it much. -
Quote:You're surprised that a level 44 troller that relied on nothing but defense failed to survive the continuous onslaught from a Pylon?Originally Posted by Doctor_Embers
So I have a level 44 grav/ff controller that has hit the soft-cap. I have read a lot about blasters that have hit the soft-cap and have done the Rikti pylon test. I am not expecting to be able to take down a pylon. However, I was very interested in seeing how survivable I was against it while trying. After a few face-plants, I leave the zone with my tail between my legs, very disappointed. Were the posts I read lies?

Quote:Yeah, pre-Extracted Essences and corpse nuke, it can be somehwat slow. Dark Detonation also helps with AoE, it just depends on how soon you take certain powers. It gets much better, just give it time.Originally Posted by Mordheim
In other news, I've gotten my shade into the 20s and respecced after getting dwarf. I find that I can pretty handily swap to dwarf when i need to tank something I've pulled agro on or just heal myself from taking random damage. Since I use it with some regularity, I've slotted some dwarf attacks (they are already muling kinetics) but I have also slotted my human attacks (in lieu of defensive powers). I find, however, that i just feel like i don't do much damage. I love orbiting death, but the long animation means I dont generally put it back up if I've had to swap to dwarf mid fight. Is feeling damage-weak at these levels normal? Hopefully it feels better at 50? I am really loving the look of the warshade attacks and such so sticking with it, I just kind of feel bad for the groups that get stuck with me so far :P

As compared to what amounts to a fancy, long duration inspiration.
