I'm getting this same "Certification or Voucher buy failed, current request is still being processed." darned thing again and again while trying to purchase an emote. Every now and again I get "Please wait a moment." or "Your account inventory is being loaded. Try again in a few moments." but in the end nothing happens at all.
*edit* logged out then back in on another character with same result, logged out and back in onto first character, zoned out of oro and then back in, tried again, and was successful. Go figure. -
Quote:You sir, have pushed my button!Defenders and Tankers are obsolete ATs. There's no real point to them now. Everything they can do, a Corruptor and Brute can do just as well while pumping out more damage.
Like I tell anyone that considers rolling a Tanker... "Make a Brute. They're like Tankers... but fun!" -
On behalf of the Guardian server, as well as my fellow French Canadians...
Bienvenue! Voici un cadeau d'avatar pour vous.

No, did not see Cole at all in AP around City Hall - heard he had spawned in Steel, but has not been confirmed.

Tanking all 8 GM's was a hoot! Anti-Matter, Bobcat, Dominatrix, Diabolique, Marauder, Chimera, Black Swan, and Battle Maiden all fell to the formidable forces of Primal Earth! Well done!

As a tanker, I prefer diamagnetic and keep it slotted as my main interface power, but I also have paralytic and gravitic for special occassions. Have not gone for reactive at all yet.

Quote:Amen!Tinker with Blasters Devices so some powers are on par with the other sets in terms of usefulness and desire.
I played my AR/dev blaster to lvl 38 then deleted him because I couldn't bring myself to invest anymore time with such an unsatisfying powerset. A couple of good gimmicks, but the rest needs a serious overhaul. -
Quote:Hehe, makes you feel guilty? LOL It makes me feel guilty if I leave someone behind. One of my jobs as a Tank is to protect my friends and leaguemates as best I can, and sometimes that means giving up my spot.I'd just like to say that Wei Jun has twice left team/leagues that I've been on, in order to let someone else play.
....He makes me feel guilty.
Tanks for the memories! \o/I have several good friends on Guardian who've also done the same, and as often as I have, and given up their spot for others to play. Just happy to be a part of the great Guardian spirit.

Hell Guardian!
Since we have such a great community here on Guardian, I thought it might be cool to see what kind of suggestions we can come up with for future game content. So feel free to bring up anything you think would be cool to have in-game. New archetypes, new power sets, more of something we already have just a taste of...the world's our oyster!
*****************
Here's my 0.025 cents worth.
#1 - I've made this suggestion every couple of years here at the forums (last time was 2007), and I will continue to do so until my dream comes true! LOL I want a Radiation Tanker!
Primary: Radiation Aura
1 - Choking Cloud
1 - Radiation Shield
2 - Radiant Aura
6 - Enervating Shield
8 - Metabolic Shield
12 - Meltdown
18 - Uranium Armor
26 - Plutonium Armor
32 - Mutation
Secondary: Radiation Melee
1 - Reactor
2 - Fission
4 - Fusion
10 - Taunt
16 - Breach
20 - Haze
28 - Build Up
35 - Atomic Bomb
38 - Ground Zero
#2 - would love to see more chaining attack combos brought into the game like Dual Blades has.
#3 - lvl 54 Incarnate only zone in Praetoria where we can get Tipz mishz, street hunt, and introduce new story arcs.
#4 - open up all lvl 54 content to give thread drops and Incarnate salvage rewards. So hunting lvl 54 Rikti in RWZ, or Rularuu, or fighting Hami, or a Mothership Raid, or any TF that can be scaled up to 54.
"nuff said from WEI. -

Thanks all - I've slotted 2 KB IOs for an additional 8 points. Hopefully that'll help out.
-
4-7pm Pacific is a bummer - I work until 630pm -not gonna get to experience much, if any.
-
OK, is it just me or does the Electric Armor "Grounded" power not provide as good knockback resistance as other Tanker KB res powers? I'm being slammed on my a$$ all over the place during the Lambda trial and it's freakin' me out! LOL
Also, "Static Shield" is supposed to give resistance to holds, but I keep getting Terrorized during Lambda as well. Anyone know what's up with this?
And more importantly - how/what do I need to slot to compensate for these and eliminate them?
Thanks -

The majority of times that I was sequestered, I never lost aggro. The few times I did, there was another tank there that pulled the aggro off me. And NEVER, I repeat, NEVER has there been a team wipe when I was sequestered in AV melee. And I always told the league ahead of time that I was ignoring the sequestration warnings. But since I've changed my style/technique due to thread opinion/request, it's now a moot point.
-
Thanks Krag, great post. I whole-heartedly agree that ideas/suggestions aka constructive criticisms make all the difference in the world. I've changed my BAF playstyle quite a bit since I started that thread, and while I am still not always completely satisfied with the process of off-tanking due to sequestration (I usually die at least once per BAF now due to being sequestered out of the AoE zone for buffs, yet having kept AV aggro so they pwnz my shaggy hide) the end result of league victory is all that really matters. Over the years I've called several other servers home (Infinity, Champion, Liberty, Freedom, Justice) but Guardian has always called me back. Great peeps, great fun! Tank you all!

Quote:One of the problems with posting on public forums is that the things that are written are left open to reader interpretation, which often also implies a personal bias when reading said posts. In other words, interpretation is relative to experience.Not trying to start a flame war. I just object to that kind of line because a) its obvious this is a game and shouldn't be taken seriously and b) it carries the implication that whoever the person is discussing with takes the game too seriously. Passive aggressive ad hominem, if you will.
So, when I said "sometimes I think people take this game far too seriously" it was not only a personal statement, but it was also biased by my own experience based on the following:
1) I feel there's nothing wrong or contradictory with being a serious gamer and there's nothing wrong or contradictory in saying that I tank "seriously" aka with genuine, earnest intent. I play my role seriously because I find it's fun to do so, and in so doing I hopefully assist someone/everyone else (aka teammates/leaguemates) to have an enjoyable time playing the game.
2) I don't take the game "too seriously" - as in I don't, for example, roleplay (though there's nothing wrong with that, it's just not my thing), nor do I PvP (again, not my thing) - to me, these things are "too serious"
3) I don't take the game "far too seriously" - as in I don't lose my mind and/or start cursing out/demeaning/insulting/belittling other players because they:
a) play incompetently,
b) are no.Obs who make errors,
c) are experienced gamers who play like no.Obs,
d) are the in-game a$$holes that grief whatever they grief,
e) etc.
While reading my statement, I'm quite certain that you had your own interpretation of what "seriously", "too seriously", and "far too seriously" were. -
Interesting, I hadn't noticed that, but I definitely noticed that this doesn't apply to the turrets in BAF:
Warworks Radial Superior Ally:
Draws forth the essences of a vanquished WarWorks Mk-VI "Victoria" and Battle Orb from the Well of the Furies to serve you temporarily. The Battle Orb is untargetable by foes, but has no offensive powers at all.
I watched my battle orb get destroyed by those guns enough times that I didn't take it at tier 4. -
No idea - I'm pretty sure I've seen pets get sequestered. But decoys are unaffected no?

First off I would like to say thank you to everyone who has replied. This is exactly the sort of conversation/discussion I was hoping to engage here. I really wanted to hear peoples honest opinions about this - especially in regards to how big of a deal this sequestration seems to be. So, keeping that in mind, last night I had the opportunity to join a pug and have two successful BAFs with them. I was the only tank, but thankfully there were 3 or 4 brutes. There was no designated group to deal with the reinforcement spawns either.
So I followed everyone's advice (from this thread) and off-tanked. I stayed in melee with the AVs, taunted the incoming spawns, until the second seq. warning, at which time I shield charged into the adds and stayed there to hold their aggro, and the additional reinforcements as they came. League-mates were quick to support and deal out the dmg to take the adds down. All the while I kept an eye on the Seige/Nightstar battle just in case, but there were no issues whatsoever, the brutes and other melee types held/shared the AVs aggro very well, and the league took them down without incident.
I actually quite enjoyed this "good tactic"or "better tactic" or whatever you want/prefer to call it. I'm tank enough to admit when I'm wrong...and I still don't think I am. LOL
It's a game. It's all fun. And ultimately, if the majority consensus of my league-mates is that they want me to get out of AV aggro to avoid sequestration, so be it. I just want everyone to have a good time. Sometimes I think people take this game far too seriously.
PS - have to admit being called a bad/poor tank no less than 2 dozen times in the same thread has me feeling pretty ticked off, so don't be surprised to find a big, grumpy-as-hell white tiger knocking on your door looking for a little one-on-one button mashing.It's a joke people! *sheesh* lighten up. LOL

Quote:Curse your villainous hide!As an almost exclusively ranged player, I simply watch the screen and see things like "2nd warning WEI". Then I make sure I'm nowhere near him when the 3rd one goes off, and then I switch to heal mode (if capable) or just keep up DPS.
It's nice to have a tank/scrapper/brute looking out for my well being and getting out of there before I get held, but it is ultimately MY RESPONSIBILITY to pay attention to what is going on and keeping myself safe.
It doesn't hurt that I am a sole-less villain and expect to have to look for myself.j/k my friend. And there's no doubt in my mind that by now, you've become very used to seeing that warning on me. LOL
