Quote:No, stopping the exploiters is what caused the problem. The exploiters were not harming anyone in this particular case.Originally Posted by Sailboat
Sounds likely. Yet we still hear people saying "My using an exploit doesn't affect your play." Well, those of you unhappy about this change: the exploit-users ruined it for you. -
I have a dark/regen brute and it feels like cheating. In my mid 20s and I don't even have end reduction in my attacks yet because I don't need it. Brutes have the advantage with regen given the higher HP base, but I don't think scrapper would be that much worse.

They really need to work on some tech to suppress instead of de-toggle. I'd buy this and the carpet on that day.

Quote:Given the number of times she's fought a group to a knockback standstill while I wobbled around stunned for no good reason, I'm not even sure her inability to succeed has much to do with her ability instead of just a mean streak in the writers. Flammy can't even remain on her feet with 3 guys helping her while I solo the other half of the evil tutorial crew.Originally Posted by SerialBeggar
My bet is on Fusionette.
Fusionette has more of a "can-do" attitude even when she can't really, so I expect that she'd put more gusto into the fight. -
Are you sure they are both HOs and not a HO and a SHO with the same stats?

Quote:That post pretty much sums it up for me - with extra emphasis on simplicity. Almost all costumes could be put on in a hurry without needing assistance.Originally Posted by Xzero45
I make a costume that not only fits the character's theme, but something I could actually see the character choosing to wear themselves. That and I'm a huge fan of simplicity.

Quote:The problem with this solution is that you only become useful when you're past the point of needing to run them. Sure, you get in a couple of runs at +2 when trying to fill the last one up to t3, but after that, there's little reason left to run the trials.Originally Posted by Thor's Assassin
When you go into trials for the first time like it seems you have, everything is wayyy above your level (+4 I believe) and this is the reason you do not feel useful as you normally would on an iTrial. Once you get the Alpha slotted up and get the other incarnate slots unlocked it will all come together.
I have 3 trollers at T4 and they all seem to do great on trials. -
Quote:That would take a 35 to make a SO that doesn't decay.Originally Posted by Hyperstrike
This is just my wild *** guess, but here goes.
Level 10: A TO that doesn't decay
Level 15: An DO that doesn't decay
Level 25: An SO that doesn't decay
Personally, I assume they skip 20, as that is the only level before 40 that you can get an IO that is superior to the normal TO/DO/SO available at that level. They wouldn't want to give you anything that was too good. -

Quote:That depends entirely on how much time you dedicate to the game. If you play little and use the same missions for getting merits as for leveling up, you get the choice of playing your level 30 villain and getting good rewards and good XP or playing your level 30 rogue and getting half of that. Pretty soon the choice is between a level 30 and a level 45.Originally Posted by Lothic
It's really not -that- much of a disadvantage as long as you have dedicated alts who'll stay true to being a hero or villain and can then email the results of their hero/villain merit farming to other alts. I play many rogues and vigilantes for RP purposes but I have several other heroes and villains I could use for merits if desired.

Quote:There are different people who don't all share the same opinion in existence.Originally Posted by Agent White
I still completely don't understand where this attitude of "WHY AREN'T YOU WOW'ING ME TO GET MY MONEY EVERY SINGLE WEEK" comes from. Before it was 'stuff is coming out too fast, I don't have enough money, stoooooop" and now when we get the quiet lulls it's this.
Their weeks of "wowing" me have been few and far between. Basically LotG week and nothing before or since. That lowered my point balance and nothing since has been the slightest encouragement to buy more. Some of the costume weeks have warranted a "woo" maybe. -
So, nothing new this week?

Quote:Even if it does, why would you care. It's a circle at the end of the range, not a cone, so you're not increasing the AoE as you do with a cone.Originally Posted by DarkSideLeague
Perhaps, but the range enhancement in the T'AoE sets WILL affect Spinning Strike's Range - my Crab threw 3 Centrioles into Arm Lash to make it a 16' cone.

Quote:I had to hold my tongue when a friend said he didn't use the rest powers in that game. It is such a joy to win a battle and then know you will quickly be ready for the next fight - and that in a game that is worlds away from this one in the likelihood of having a close call battle as opposed to player domination.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
I agree with Sam. Most of these powers should be modified to fit the new game reality. Especially Devices which is by far the weakest Blaster secondary. I would even go farther and say that Rest should have its recharge, debuff and activation time removed entirely. Leave the interrupt. Having spent the last couple of weeks in a galaxy far, far way, I have really come to an even stronger belief that balancing around downtime is a dumb mechanic.
It shows that a game can be harder without relying on slow, do-nothing-for-a-while powers. -
Quote:So, you credit card information is no big deal, but if someone gets your hecatombs - oh no!Originally Posted by Celestial_Lord
As you can see by the bolded part, I already answered that.
They don't have it because the extra hassle is not worth the minimum security added to something that is ultimately unimportant. -
Quote:So you don't prefer it when things work correctly? What an odd life you must lead.Originally Posted by Shred_Monkey
If not getting your rare/very rare on one run makes you leave the game... then you need to find a new hobby. If running an end game trial and getting a common is that upsetting to you, then those "other" games will probably make you suicidal.

Quote:Very true. I had intended to put the word "free" in sarcastic quotes, but I forgot.Originally Posted by GPBunny
For $15 you can get 1320 points or 1 month of service + 400 points. Nothing is free.

Quote:I can see thinking that because they use the same limited enemies as the street presents.Originally Posted by Ironblade
I think people were simply puzzled why you would even MENTION the possibility. These are standard door missions with standard enemies. There is no reason to think they operate differently from any other mission in the game (obviously excluding AE).

Quote:They aren't considered IOs. If you buy them, you can use them.Originally Posted by Minotaur
Thanks for this, just one other question: (for non VIPs)
2 principles, you can't use IOs unless you've got tier 7 complete or buy an IO licence.
You can use anything you've bought.
Does this mean you can use attuned IOs bought with points if you're F2P and haven't bought an IO licence ? -
Quote:Yes, they are probably insulated from any legal ramifications. But that doesn't change the fact that they are engaging in a business practice that the state of California has deemed harmful enough to institute laws against.Originally Posted by Emberly
This is not relevant. The only thing being sold for money is points, and there isn't any shenanigans going on related to selling points. Using points to trade for ingame items insulates them from this sort of legislation.
The conspiracy theory side of my brain is working overtime now and I'm wondering if the free points for VIPs might exist primarily to break the direct link between points and money in order to avoid laws like this and have very little to do with rewarding VIPs. -
Quote:No everyone plays on fully outfitted 50+3s.Originally Posted by Lothic
I think the point MrCaptainMan was making is that while the LAM was a hard trial to finish when it first came out it can now be pretty easily completed by fully outfitted 50+3 Incarnates without worrying about the portals. I've been on a few LAMs in the last few months that didn't take more than a couple of minutes to pound Marauder into the ground regardless of the portals. *shrugs*

Quote:I could make up random equations as well. That doesn't make the numbers spit out by those equations into something meaningful.Originally Posted by Lazarillo
Presumably, they have some sort of equation for calculating the prices of enhancements, relative to their rarity in the game. The same problem applies for the Uncommons that are in the store normally. So for the limited time rares, they apply that equation, then cut the total in half.
Yes, it's sort of a goofy approach, but I can at least see where the idea comes from.
I suppose they could simply share that equation, but I suspect they don't want to because it would give too close of in-game market<->real money value conversion idea.
(X+2/max level/.367)*Z where Z is the number of attributes enhanced by the enhancement
There. Wheee. I made up an equation too. And mine has about as much to do with the actual price of the things as whatever equation they are using does.
The price is what it sells for. Anything else is there to manipulate gullible people. -
Quote:And then it returns to the higher price. That didn't happen here.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
I don't suppose you've ever heard of retailers introducing a new product at a introductory sales price then? Because it happens all the time in retail. And it's called.... a sale.
Walmart must love you guys when they up the prices by 25% just before their 20% off sales. -
Quote:I would quit a LAM that didn't close the portals. I don't enjoy starting at an inert body lying on the screen for 10 minutes and pretending I'm playing a game.Originally Posted by MrCaptainMan
People are still bothering to close the portals? Every LAM I'm on these days is a sLAM, adn the portals and the acids are just ignored.
