Quote:I haven't been doing any set teams or specific kinds of TF runs. It's all the level 50 TFs we do and the teams vary from pick-up-group where I might know one person or none at all to the night-owl crew that likes to play way too late. I've done speed runs, I've done shard runs, I've done in-between.Originally Posted by Werner
Do you get anything special for drops from task forces, or is it just that you and your buddies slam through a lot of content quickly and efficiently, and you're putting in the hours?
I don't have nearly as much as you, but Alexei has been "boss farming" the Storm Palace for his, and Turiel has simply been running alignment and other missions on +0x8 with bosses and AVs duoed with a Tanker. Rikti invasions seem to be particularly good for shard drops, and I suspect the drop rate is very high for elite bosses. I suspect it's even higher for archvillains, and Silver Mantis kindly dropped a shard for me. I don't know actual drop rates, though.
Just plain playing TFs with folks that want to, and having a blast punching stuff in the face.
Issue 19 has seriously put some spring in my step when playing this game and it's brought a lot more interest for doing TFs on my server Pinnacle, the only one I play on. I'm hoping for wild success on I20 once again.

Ok, screw pride. I have to ask. What in the world are you fighting or am I just doing something wrong? You have more common components than I have had shards drop across running three 50s daily.
Honestly, I haven't been playing as much as I could have. I'm over 200 Incarnate Shards now, but I suspect if I was really going for it that I would have been at the 300 mark by now.

Quote:I wish the servers had a list merger. Maybe put some highlight to differentiate EU and NA servers but they could be freely accessed by either.Originally Posted by Dante
True you can't and fair play, that list only mentions the higher populated NA servers.
But this and getting to test the Winter Event? I'm not the kind to keep score but the term 'neglected' springs to mind. However, this is pretty much what players on the EU servers have come to expect.
An EU visit would be nice but I'm not going to hold my breath. It wouldn't be good for my longevity.

Quote:I know that Endurance is my weakness in that build but I'm perfectly fine with it. It's one that I can deal without any hardships if I simply remember to look at my Endurance bar every once in a while. My normal gameplay is usually spent (whether on full team or solo) jumping from piles of enemies one after the other. Normally on single target combat Dark Consumption would be inadequate with its current slotting, but with the way I play it's perfectly fine with keeping me afloat.Originally Posted by BrandX
This build looks awesome. Makes me want to roll a DM/INV.
My only thoughts are, going spawn to spawn, your END should be fine enough, I would think you could do without the ENDRED in Fire Ball and possibly move it to Smite for either an ACC/END/RCH IO to buff it's enhancement in those areas OR put in a proc in Smite OR put a -Resist Proc in Soul Drain, since you will be using Soul Drain on the single targets.
Also, I'd still replace the lvl 50 Generic IO in Siphon Life with a Gogli Hami-O, for added ENDRED.
Given the advances in I20 with the Rare and Very Rare Alpha boosts, and Judgment - Succubus Kali should have near or perma-Hasten, perma-Soul Drain, perma-Dull Pain (and thus perma-HP cap), almost hardcapped S/L Resist, softcapped S/L/F/C/E/N Defense, and even more AoE. That makes me all giddy.

Quote:I really do hope there is more communication with the players. I remember a time where you could at least expect a post a day or more on the weekdays. Sometimes even on the weekends. Some of them were for just chatting up, others gave us insight into how something worked and why it worked that way.Originally Posted by Rikis
When I was beginning to fear a lack of communication from the devs due to the BaBs and Castle's departures.
With that said, I don't mind a lack of developer communication. ...that much. -
I tried to keep the price range the same-ish for that build. It definitely could get significantly better with a higher price tag.

Here is a build that trades some global Recharge and net Endurance Recovery for better Defense and slightly better Smashing/Lethal Resist. Might be worth it to switch out Maneuvers for Air Superiority and slot that up as part of a single target attack chain with added mitigation. Would give you another spot to place a Kinetic Combat, which could open up better opportunities in the build.

I predict a statement about how the game is better than ever and will only continue to get better, and general sentiments that they are excited for what's coming up and it's going well so far in implementation.
Also, I predict it will be delivered by a dev of some sort.
To really make a risky prediction, I believe there will be promises of cake. -
