Quote:My gut feeling is that alot of future content will be designed around the new "level cap" as it is in all MMO's. Further making soloers and small teamers feel worthless.Originally Posted by EU_Damz
Because +4 for a level 50 has now become a +3 for incarnates basically.
Im personally hoping that the crash issues are solved tonight because there are a few "tests" i wish to test out before friday. -
Quote:I've no desire to lead teams and would rather just not play when faced with that. Some people simply dislike or are not good at team leading. Aside from that I have no idea what all the new colors for names are. Purple, orange, blue, aquamarine.Originally Posted by Kiana Wolf
Really? 'Cause a quick search usually pulls up a half dozen available people for me, at least.
Maybe it's just the time of day. I generally play during the middle of the day or late at night. I rarely have trouble finding someone to play with, probably because everyone else is bored out of their minds and has nothing to do. My bet is that when the server is packed, everyone is off on teams already... Except us stragglers. -

Double XP doesn't count. You know people will be playing then.

I've been one a couple STF's and LRSF's in the day. Many of which ended in failure and a waste of my time. I don't generally do them because A. I don't like leading a TF that requires specific strategies and knowing of the in's and outs of it and B. Most of my characters are not support and it's VERY rare I see a STF or LRSF forming that'll take a 7th scrapper or 5th tanker or what have you. They want support and even then they want very specific support. Seems even worse lately since I'm seeing some people requesting everyone be IO'd out or that everyone have an alpha slotted, etc etc.

Maybe you could both team up then? Find 6 more people who think the same way, and run the STF

I, on the other hand, feel even more strongly about what I said.

So my DP/NRG blaster is 43 now and he's one of my favorite characters. I actually like the set so much that I might roll another DP character once I hut 50. He doesn't have any sets and I don't plan to IO him up more then bare bones (never cared for number crunching and spread sheets) and he still gets the job done.
Went munitions mastery. -
I stuck close to the source with mine.

Well I'm considering once again trying an MM. I've never made it past 28 on one and wanted to try out mercs (mainly for concept).
My question is should I bother? I've basically heard they're one of the worst sets out there but are they just the worst compared to other MM sets or are they so bad I won't even be able to do my own missions?
I'm not too concerned about being "the best" or knowing that if I ran some spread sheets I'd be aware I'm 0.05% more powerful than the guy next to me. I just want to be able to feel decent, solo my mishes, and have fun. Adequacy is all I really require.
I was considering pairing it with /pain, possibly. Traps could also be possible but I'm not a big fan of traps. -
Quote:So you're taking into account PS3 game sales as well, console sales (I.E. consoles sold because of that game)? How many people are on each server matters not, only the total number really matters in advertising and to the shareholders.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
If the numbers I've been seeing are remotely accurate, you must be talking about some MMO being developed on another planet. Keeping in mind PC and console play essentially two different segregated games (on different server farms) the PC version of the newer and far more appealing to new players MMO appears to currently have significantly less players than we do.
This is not an easy business to succeed in, because there are never any easy decisions. The ones that seem most obvious are the ones that cause the most casualties.
I'm afraid Batman is far more appealing to me than generic Captain America/Superman love baby Mary Sueman.
Also could you link me to the sub numbers for both these games? -
Since I can't find a single guide anywhere and just going by peoples builds isn't too helpful, I have some questions about the combo.
1. Should I focus more on sapping more so than my holds and such?
2. Which powers should I avoid? (both sets)
3. Would bothering with some resistance like tough help? It seems I get beat on quite abit since I stay in melee alot.
Just some questions. I did some searching, didn't find anything. And I don't want to blow through 900 respecs. -
Quote:Untill I20? Until atleast I21. If you think I20's trials and raid content on the BAF will somehow be soloable, well, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you.Originally Posted by Nalrok_AthZim
Look, I've since realized I've been on the wrong frequency about the whole solo thing, so I'm well aware of what's coming and what's not. I'd appreciate if you didn't assume things about what I say just to bolster your own point.
My argument remains, regardless of what you think I "implied":
Until I20, the only way to get the upper Alpha tiers is to do the WST, something that not all of us have time for/want to do (I fall in the former). When I20 drops, there will be more options. Being told to forget it or wait is, quite honestly, a real dick move. -

You don't really need endgame content either

Just because I'm the one who brought it up doesn't make it about me.

Quote:It would of been better to just make these things as new travel powers or as alternate animations to the horrid animation SS has but I guess making us pay for stuff is good too.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Honestly, what a perfect pack to add in another Ninja Run clone. I am very happy they thought so too! Wewt!

Quote:What about small teams and duos?Originally Posted by Venture
Since solo content does not and evidently will never require Incarnate-level abilities, it is no loss and in fact probably for the best if solo content does not give Incarnate-level rewards.

Quote:Or I30.Originally Posted by Arilou
True, and I'd expect it would get here at some point.
However, that does NOT mean it will be done by I20. -
Look at all the awesome stuff you can't have, people with time constraints! Mwahahaha

Quote:That's unlikely. If that's true then it implies Black Scorpion is unaware of what the trial contains. He said they were "invesitgating options for solo players". If an option existed in I20 already then they wouldn't be investigating.Originally Posted by Benchpresser
I wish I could find the quote now but I remember when the Devs first said that the "raid on Mother Mayhem's hospital" would be the 1st Incarnate trial type event, they said you could play either side (loyal or resistance). That leads me to believe that the "trial" will work exactly like the Praetorian zone events- that can be done solo, evenb in solo groups.

Quote:Which is fine. Not everyones suited for every AT. Some defenders can solo GM's. I personally can't and don't want to try and force myself to do it. I'm a melee player at heart.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
That was long ago before my guide.
I've seen you post about not being able to handle the lowest difficulty on your shade. That's not a problem with the AT, it's you not doing something right. -
Quote:This isn't new. We've had AV's before that required us to run away from them/get out of melee. There just aren't a ton of them.Originally Posted by dougnukem
The answer is obvious: Adapt
They are finally giving us content that requires a little more strategy than mindless button mashing like people are used to....its not that difficult.
