Channel became "private", if u want in, contact in-game @Duos, @amartia, @Arturo, @Dark Mutan or @Nightcacther

I don't think i would like total freedom to choose from all the archetypes, cause the now-clear roles of every toon (and i mean each toon, not archetype) in the team will dissapear, and along with it, will dissapear the way good teaming that we have.
what i would like to see is a freedom to take whatever power within each archetype, but on the same tier (example : a blaster could choose any tier 9/nova, but only one.) -
If you are Greek or raised in Greece and you speak greek, and you haven't found us yet, join "Greek Channel", εχουμε καλη παρεα και σας περιμενουμε.
Greek players from Union and Defiant are trying to keep close the COX Greek Community, and help each other.
we also created a SG in Defiant with toons with Greek names and we team a lot.
so..... just search the channel and join, or contact ingame @Duos or @amartia -
Quote:I love playing my 50's so much, that i have a hard time leveling my lower toons.Sweet, I'm not in a rush to get to 50 but thought if it's as boring as some claim it is once you get there I need to go even slower lol.
I beleive that if u love a toon when u are leveling between lvls 1-49, then u will not stop loving it in 50, and u will always find things to do with it -
it seems that i cannot open the list, to add my toons
here are my 50's
amartia - AR/DEV technology blaster
Heroin Complex - MA/SR natural scrapper
amartia II - dark - DM/Regen magic scrapper
amartia corrupted - AR/Traps natural corruptor
Fonissa - Nin/Nin natural stalker -
AR/DEV, my favorite toon
i recently rolled a Fire/Energy, wich i like a lot.
.... and i'm thinking for DP/mental when GR comes out -
grind, grind, grind..... and then grind some more (but not in AE). Most fun way imo is tf/sf, also teaming with good friends, exemp a alot.
Also u can combine it with the hunt for the ouroboros badges.
I had some great boost in my progress bar, during DXP weekends. -
fake nemesis : rotating route of PI, if u do it with 2 ppl, one starts from the north , one start from the south, you will finish in half an hour. Good spawnin points are the docks and the area around arena and hospital
PP: i think noone metioned it, but EDEN, at the borders of Serpentine and Utopia, way good spot, also manti tf and a praetorian mission (i can't recall the contact), that there are only PP mobs (minions, lt, bosses and all kills count for the badge)
Lost : as others said, down to the sewers
wolves and vampyriis: citadel, hess and moonfire tf, and in the centre of striga isle (though it must be night for the vamps to come out)
monkeys : cutlass isles, PI
for the rest, the best place is Croatoa, or the baby new year mission for red caps and tuatha -
Well, i have in my build aid other/aid self. it comes way handy. When i loose a lot of health in teams, i click Personal Force Field (epic) and i heal myself (one of the small number of things that u can do while u r on PFF).
On the other hand, i don't have beanbug or ignite.
One more thing that i find important in AR/DEV is recharge. With good IO set bonuses and hasten, u can have Full auto available in every mob, and this combined with your flamethrower, means great AOE spam without knockback, -
this is my way of palying my beloved AR/DEV (though u will need Full auto too)
1) Solo
throw caltrops between u and the mob, throw a smoke grenade, start your chain attack : flamethrower+full auto+slug +burst+grenade+buckshot (the first two are a must, and u must take good position. the last two are in the end so u can repell the ones that passed the caltrops. some slow procs for the caltrops r great). If u pop up a red insp before, noone will stay alive to pass the caltrops. If there is a boss in the mob spread some trip mines before.
2)Team
be patient, let the mellees take some agrro, position urself and when the mob group is tight spread ur chain attack as above. if mobs surround u, throw caltrops, or have a trip mine in ur feet.
i don't use ignite, though some praise it (especially corruptors).
Super speed is way handy, because combined with cloakin device , gives u great PVE stealth
(soory for my english, not my primary language) -
Sorry, i live in Greece, and i thought that BST means 2 h before our stantard time....., let's say 18:00 British time, and i'll look up what time i should be on.
-
things seem that i won't be online on saturday 17th.... sorry
-
It was the 1st Double XP that i enjoyed and really acomplished something.
My initials plans were to lvl a bit all my low level deffos who sit in 1-3 lvl range.... but thursday night i logged with my lvl 36 Nin/Nin stalker, and on Monday night after 3 itf (last one failed), 1 binder of the beast sf, 1 leviathan sf, some team misions and soloin my patron misiions in +2 lvl difficulty, i managed to get him to lvl 48...... and the most important of all, i had a lot of fun.
A thing that made me happy also, is that redside in defiant was quite active. -
Saturday 17th october, 20:00 BST, PI.
I'll try to contact those who posted, and i will try to add some more from the searches.
Any blaster lvl +35 is welcome. -
The idea is definitely still going on, next weekend (16 oct-18 oct) i'll start to make it happen.
First i'll look up for those of u that showed interest and then start recruitin with tells.
I'm really glad that there was positive responce -
I love my lvl 50 AR/DEV blaster, wich i can't stop play (is my main)
I also love my lvl 50 AR/traps corruptor
... and finally i'm having a great time with my new cold/AR defo
If i could make an AR scrapper, i would make one.
People in general don't like AR, cause they consider it an underdog (no nova, redraw, only lethal/smashing damage.....blah,blah,blah). Personally i think that the underdog powersets and combos are great challenge and a lot of fun to play and make them work.
On the other hand, in my server (defiant), i see a lot of AR blasters, but no corrs till now exept me -
Quote:I have the exactly same problem, i'm getting bored in lvl 40-50, (though after slotting my 50's, i can't stop playing them).So, I've managed to get quite a few toons into the 30's. I even managed to get up to 45 on one way back when, but I just can't seem to summon the willpower to push it all the way. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why. I thought I just simply got bored or found something else that caught my interested, and while that is part of the truth I think I've found out the missing piece to this puzzle...
Once you've gotten to 32+ you're pretty much "over the hill" when it comes to your powers. You've gotten the last power of your primary and probably have at least one or two more you're looking to grab from your secondary, so by 35-38 you're done with your primary/secondary powers. I think my problem is once I reach this stage there's nothing else I'm really looking forward to in the last 10 or so levels. Sure, I get my ancillary powers but they only seem to help round out my character and not really give it that "umph" that those last couple of powers in the primary/secondary sets give you. That's not to say that they're suppose to or that I wish they did, my only point is after 35-38 or so there's nothing really left that makes me go "oooh shiny, I can't wait for that".
Does anyone else share this problem or a similar one, or have any tips on how to overcome it? The toon I got to 45 I lvled with my brother and some other friends so that gave me the incentive to make it that far, but when I'm on my own I just tend to get burnt out by the time I get to the 30s.
The solution that works for me, is this : IO your lvl 40ish, with good sets (preferably in lvl 42), after that play with him every 10 days (wich means u have a full lvl of patrol XP). If ur difficulty set is +3-4 lvl (wich u will be able to handle with the good IO sets), u will ding in the next lvl very quick, even if u solo. The above works great especially in scrappers, but i've tested it in other AT's too. -
first of all i want to say that AR is great fun.
i suggest traps (i have a corr lvl 50 that i enjoy a lot, she is the evil alter ego of my main AR/DEV blaster)
when i16 launched, i rolled a cold/AR defo, and till now (lvl 10) i enjoy playing him a lot (i have a feeling that i would be able to solo with him too) -
, good to have at least 1 positive respond, let's see how many more are interestend, and when the first impact of i16 start to wear out, i'll try in-game invitations.
btw, my global : @amartia -
is there any interest to form a high lvl all blaster team in defiant, who would try some challenges from time to time? we could start from PI radio missions and see how it goes.....
why should we do it?.... cause it would be a challenge to acomplish things and trying to stay alive without aggro takers and buffers/debuffers, trying to figure the way to work things out, something like COV teaming.
Before AE, we had a regular team for a week, with only blasters and 1-2 defenders and we totally rocked.
i'll be gone till monday, but when i will return, i'll check if there is any interest.
sorry for some possible grammar mistakes, but english is not my primary language. -
Traps, traps, traps...... (good for thematic purposes too).
build ur castle, and then start spreading AoE damage, hehe, way cool...... also good shield protection from FFG -
Quote:
In a change of pace for me, he's made the majority of his inf off selling crafted IO drops. There is some absolutely silly profit to be made for a relatively minor investment of time and inf.
That's how i earn my inf too (and i mean a lotta inf), in the last 6 months, i think ppl r a ltitle lazy to spend time, buying and crafting -
My main is AR/DEV, fully killted with purple IO sets, and let me tell u, she is a mean lean killing machine.
She is efiicient in any pug team (if there is a tank, after he draws agrro, she just AoE damage everything---- sometimes if there is a healer stuck on her, she can tank/kill everything better than a dark/regen scrapper), great to solo (with a ltl help of inspirations and ocasionally personal force field and importantly strategic use of devices), and very good at farming (especially the cimerora walls ----caltrops in front of u, pop a red insp, flamethrower and full auto chain attack and a whole mob is killed very fast before they can touch u)
PRIMARY -Devastation IO sets in ranged and Positron's blast IO sets in AoE's (apocalypse in slug and ragnarok in full auto) + mantnticore's sting in snipe . i have a rule in the above, 5 slots for the IO set and sixth slot endurance reduction, wich leads in no endurance problem at all. She don't have ignite and beanbag. The above works great, even without the purples.
SECONDARY - I'm not a vet player, so i don't have experience from the before ED glory days, but here it is how i work it : pace of turtle in caltrops (4-set with chance of slow), luck of gumblers in cloakin device (6-set), adjusted targeting (4-set) in targeting drone plus gaussian and rectified rectile procs, hit debuf normal IO's in smoke grenade, scirooco;s dervish in trip mine, and 4-set devastation in gun drone (mostly for the bonuses)
POOLS- ss and sj for travel with bleesin of Zephyr KB protecrion (plus karma KB protection procs in combat jumping and personal force field), stamina with 6-set Efficacy adaptor IO set, and numina;s and miracle procs in health. ALSO important move : Temp Inv from epic, it gives an edge in protection. ahh , almost forgot , hasten.
I spend a lot of inf in the above build, but it is worth it. Also a lot of bonuses from the above sets (damage, recovery, regeneration and 1536 HP).
Hope i helped, and sorry for my english (not primary lingua). -
I'd like to do this marathon, though i've never done those before.
i have an AR/DEV blaster, fully upgraded in my opinion.
i'm not a vet player (only 8 months), but in a team i try to help all i can, and i'll stick to the end.
kendai recently met me in a early morning sewers trial
