A team in Talos is your best bet. You will spawn lots and the team will take them down quickly. Now that the Accolade is more accessible, it shouldn't be too hard to find others to knock it out quickly.
Or, go to Bloody Bay, they spawn constantly there. -

Quote:There is *definitely* something random about it. Multiple zombapocalypses can be spawned in one in-game day cycle, and even during the day... but not always. Sometimes turning in the Halloween salvage doesn't trigger an event.Originally Posted by UberGuy
That doesn't jive with testing I was involved in. At that time, you could always create an invasion as long as you didn't turn in salvage before the next in-game midnight after another invasion had been created.
Is it known to have changed to a random chance?
However, that doesn't preclude that there is a *definite* way to trigger the event by waiting a full day cycle.
So, it's *possible* that there is a 10-20% chance of triggering an event, except if it's been a full day cycle since the last event, in which case, there is a 100% of triggering it.
We need a larger sample with logs and rigorous testing of theories of triggers. Or, a dev can tell us. -

I find this kinda hard to believe because for almost the year I've been playing I have never seen any type of threads like this on the forums and have never happened to me before. Now there is like 50 different threads all of people complaining cause they don't have access to something they paid for.
Sorry if this is wai I've never seen or heard about it the whole time I've been playing and I have also seen the store go down plenty in the past and not once lost a character slot because of it.
It has happened before, but as a testament to just how stable the NCSoft store is, previous outages were so short, that you and others never noticed the disappearance of empty slots (past the 12 original). But it has happened. And that's they way extra slots always worked from the time they were Beta Tested. I was there, trust me.
That there are "50 people complaining about it" because, for the first time I've seen in 5 1/2 years, the store's been down for more than a day. -

This thread peaked my interest quite a bit so I decided to roll a claws/elec scrapper and see what i could do. So far he's lvl 13 and pretty fun to play but here's the build I put together which won't be to expensive and has a run speed of 51.3 mph also has 26.3 melee def
here it is if ya wanna take a look.
Here is your build with Aegis put in as an alternate slotting...

Quote:Ah, Mental Training gives you that extra ~10 mph.Originally Posted by Luminara
Depends entirely on the individual character. I have a planned build for a Crab which can run at slightly above 55 mph.
Although, if you take the third Run enhancment out of Mental Training and move it to Crab Spider Armor and make it Steadfast Protection Knockback Protection, then that would give you 7 mag KB protection instead of 3, and it would give you an extra 1.5% Recovery and you'd only lose .9 mph.
You can't run fast if you're knocked on your rear.

Quote:Yeah, that's not sledgehammery at all!Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
A lot of the SFs I'm in people actually ASK for the mobs to be set to CL3 (which is +1 level now).
Why can't they just let things be, find a real fix, then delete the master badges from the people that did it since i16?

Give it a try, everyone. Some if the textures at that level are absolutely amazing. It looks like a totally different game vs the lower settings.

I'm guessing this won't be resolved until Monday, now. I'm going to be so ticked off if my character's name is lost. -
Quote:On both my XP and Vista machines I see the same things you're seeing at high shader settings. And those things disappear at lower shader settings.Originally Posted by Stardrive
I went with the default settings in both cases
Maybe in your XP box, there was something blocking your graphics card from displaying the bells and whistles available from the higher shader settings.
But you don't have to be in Win7 to see those things. -
Quote:Actually, I'm pleased. I don't mind doing a Strask Force at a higher difficulty level IF I'M FOREWARNED. But the overwhelming majority of S/TF leaders recruit without mentioning they're turning up the difficulty, and that's just rude.Originally Posted by The_Coming_Storm
None of you are mad that they decided to take away the ability to fight +2/+3s in SFs and in Ouro?
And I'm with Kit on this: It's obvious that this is a stop-gap measure to keep people from using the new difficulty sliders from doing S/TFs at -1. It's much easier to code a shut-off for the sliders in S/TFs than to fiddle around with the slider coding itself which runs a huge risk of introducing a bug for *all* missions.
I'd like to see level and size difficulty sliders added to the S/TF interface, but, that will take time to code. -
Quote:IO Set speed bonuses are based off of base speed which is 14.3 mph. If you slotted 5 sets with 5% Runspeed each for a total of 25% RunSpeed bonus, that's only an extra 3.6 mph.Originally Posted by Ardrea
Very nice!
Which powers do you have the IO sets you list slotted into, and do you feel you had to compromise on other parts of your build to get that much run speed? For example, did you have to forgo soft-capping your defenses? -
Quote:I believe it's actually *extra* influence. Not exactly *double* influence.Originally Posted by Dreaming_Shadow
I decided to join a sewer team on my Lv.48 character and see how this Double Influence, 0 XP thing works. However it doesn't seem to do what it says it does.

Quote:When they suggested the lessening of the speed penalties, did they balance that by suggesting the lessening of the defense granted by the power?Originally Posted by Gitch
Thanks for the replies, I guess this means that I will continue to look for +run io's and skip the slow resist. What really sucks is that I was hoping to avoid getting tp but it looks like i'll end up there eventually. Someone wrote a great post on the beta forum about changes to the stone tanker set that proposed a lessening of the speed penalties. I really hope some dev takes it up soon because I am enjoying this toon other than the severe lack of combat mobility.

Just FYI, the following command will flush unused memory while in game and helps versus leaks:
/unloadgfx
Use it occasionally to drop the RAM usage. -

Sometimes, the Datastream in the AE building is the door. And sometimes the mission is pointing to a door that used to be there before the AE building took it over. In the latter case, you'll need to auto-complete the mission or get a GM to complete it for you.

That happens when the NCSoft Store is down, which it is right now. The store keeps tracks of your empty, extra slots so it knows what you're eligible to purchase. Until the store comes back online you have no access to any empty, extra slot past the original twelve. When the store comes back online, the extra, empty slots will reappear.

Quote:That's a shader quality difference. I'm guessing you have/had the game set to different shader qualities from the XP to the Win7 versions.Originally Posted by Stardrive
Shields and Arachnos helmets & shoulder armor have a great lookeing highly polished metal look to them.
The Rikti and Positron have lighted effects on their power armor.
The Arachnos flyers have large sections illuminated with strobing red lights -
Aggravating? Yes.
But I'm pretty sure Paragon/NCSoft would like the store to be up as much as any player so as to make money through sales... -
I'm stumped. Unless you have Windows Blinds running, I don't see anything wrong.
It may be time to open up a support ticket with customer service; they have other diagnostic tools.
Or wait a few weeks and upgrade to Win7 and try it then. -

I suppose it all comes down to how extensively broken something is before it is labeled 'game-breaking.'
A bug that keeps one from completing a TF is game-breaking in the sense that that TF is uncompletable, and thus, broken. But it's not game-breaking in the sense that you have lots of other things to do and can level up to 50 without ever doing that TF, and thus, not game-breaking.
A bug where you can't stay logged in for five minutes, now *that* would be universally regarded as game-breaking. -
