  • The thing is, for gaming you don't need the 4670k at all. Did you know that the "k" model has it's multiplication unlocked? It's basically a model for enthusiasts who overclock (I know because that's what I do as). For all intents and purposes you spend too much money on the CPU and too little on the GPU. A 650 is not…
  • :eek: 1280x1024 ..... lol at that resolution you don't even need a dedicated GFX.. AND YES whoever sold you the 4670k was taking advantage of you. BRING IT BACK ASAP if you can!!! I guess you are not into overclocking so you don't need that model. In fact the 4570 might be too much as well. At this point I don't really…
  • To answer your question: yes, you probably can run CO on max but that also depends on what resolution you intend to play at. Side Note: Out of curiosity why would you go with a 4670k? I suppose you intend to overclock it. If the components listed are your max budget then I would suggest you get a 4570 and use the rest of…
  • Look, the moment they add a drop worth getting people will farm it and thus there will be something to do. In itself, that should not affect you in any way since you play for fun. As such, adding things won't impact you negatively in any way or form, or am I mistaken here?
  • Lol there is no RL card. I'm guessing you are one of those who have nothing else to do except play CO that's why that comment hit a nerve.:rolleyes: What do you mean "opinion as fact" ? How about you make sense when you post ?
  • First of all nobody does something for nothing. You and a couple others might be an exception but the general rule you are not. You made a couple of baseless assumptions which you only made so that you could rant on them and nothing else. Let's see....yeah, I don't like a challenge right? That is what you said not me.…
  • What are you talking about? I never said that. Still not all content is without challenge, Gravitar or Forum Malvanum for example.
  • LOL then what are you looking for? You realize that the only way Cryptic knows to "increase challenge" is to buff dmg or HP which in itself is so much BS I'm not going to bother going into it again. This game has no challenge because it has no rewards. Everything you want to get (devices/gear/costume pieces) are all…
  • Wrong, Defensive passives do "scale" and I already explained what I mean by that which you obviously did not read or you would understand. Of course you could intentionally not get it. If odds are good you faceplant as a Defensive toon on a 100k hit then what are the odds again for an Offensive toon? Eh? Though…
  • Actually even those "effective" Offensive builds will run out of steam if the current idea of "challenge" is higher and higher HP/DMG or gimmick mechanics. Furthermore, Defensive Passives allow for more flexibility in terms of build than an offensive one. Take for example the lack of Defensive Forms. A Defensive Passive…
  • Well thing is, to me that is quite obvious so it's not really easy to know what to point out. That's why I just explained everything. But in all honesty, it's not something new or groundbreaking it's simply an obvious but somehow omitted issue when it comes to Offensive vs Defensive Passives. I could further add the fact…
  • No I said I duel, it's different than joining BASH or any other PvP thing out there. Duno if 1 duel every couple of month counts. It's like saying you drink because you have a beer once every half a year. Anyways, not like it matters anymore.
  • The fact that you don't get what I'm saying does not invalidate anything I say. Spare me your condescending nonsense will you, I'm not saying that Defense gives protection and Offense gives damage OK. I'll try to point it out again, if you don't get it then I would suggest to stop replying because it's YOU who does not get…
  • You were the one who accused me of being a PvPer and dismissed my statement on such basis so yeah:rolleyes:
  • Oh did your crystal ball tell you all that? And no I don't PvP except for the occasional duel. The bias towards Defensive Passives is obvious but you must not be good with numbers that's why you don't see it. Let me break it down for you: - defense scales with incoming damage - offense does not scale based on the type of…
  • The problem is that if you buff offense too much you have people crying because of duels. In PvE you would need a lot more %dmg to be able to mitigate as much dmg (by sheer kill power) as a Defensive Passive user can. The issues become more evident when facing extreme dmg content like Gravitar. Think about it: 20% base dmg…
  • Quoted for reiteration that this is completely opinion. Yeah I can do this to you know. How about you stop getting all flustered and get it through your skull that I was not talking about PFF. I did not mention it because I did not feel like mentioning something that was obvious. It's not obvious to YOU? Well too…
  • That is a generalization, what I did was to mention that there is a skew/bias towards Defense which holds even for PFF. While it might not be on par with the other Defensive Passives it still provides defense. Seriously, you are just being pedantic about something which is completely besides the point. I was not arguing…
  • Give me a break, what am I supposed to do write paragraphs explaining every single thing just because the likes of you lack common sense to understand what I'm saying. PFF is the exception, but the rule still stands. Defense is more valuable than Offense in this game and this bias has always existed.
  • Because somehow you think I was talking about PFF or because somehow you think I have to list every damned Defensive Passive. PFF is an exception, not the rule here.
  • NO to that, COMPLETELY and UTTERLY NO. Buffing up damage only does 1 thing and that is make toons that don't take a Defensive Passive strugle. We allready have an extreme bias towards Defensive Passives in that they provide more bang for your buck than Offensive Passives. I this happens nobody will run a Passive Offense…
  • You probably did not get the MEMO. It's the new EndGame - ruin the game for all. Why are people so petty and ask for nerfs instead of buffs. How is asking for nerfs easier than for buffs? Logically speaking, asking for buffs would have a positive impact on anyone using the power while asking for nerfs will have a negative…
  • What the heck are people smoking here? Godlike power? Are you serious, hyperbole much? Just leave the power be. How does it affect you anyways? Unless we talk about PvP in which case I will politely tell you to gtfo :tongue:.
  • Obviously you just QQ because that's all you seem to be able to do. There is no such thing as immortal, simply claiming that is borderline ludicrous. Massive Multiplayer means that a lot of people play at the same time which does not mean that they HAVE to team up. You just don't get it through that skull of your do you?…
  • I have a very good idea how you can build tanks thank you very much. It is you who claimed "immortal toons" that I called you up on it. There is no such thing as invincible. Now you go back on it and say "I was talking about durable...bla bla bla". That's not the same thing. If you base your argument on a hyperbole and the…
  • To need a team there has to be content that requires a team. By that I don't mean gimmick mechanics and astronomical HP for bosses. The AI of everything is CO is basically on the level of "DUH!". There is no "strategy" if the only thing you need to do is survive and pawn on the boss. There is no feeling of achievement if…
  • " I actually had the most fun I have had in PvE in while when we did that purely because it wasn't exactly 'easy' on some parts where we had 50 mobs all condensed into one area all on elite we had to use the behemoth tanking while I try to debuff / buff / heal everyone and foxi bursts out massive aoe damage. If we were on…
  • The way he said it reminded me of the kind of people who DO QQ about it. But he clarified that. I don't care for what he does =/= what he says on the forum. I replied towards a statement he made you don't get that?
  • Well if you are not on the "I play X and DEMAND TO BE NEEDED/WANTED" QQ bandwagon then I'm cool with that. I don't mind/care/want to limit anyone's playstyle but when people come along that make a build or create a role (tank, healer, dps) and they feel they are not needed then it should NOT be OTHERS that should CHANGE…
  • They are if people QQ about being a healer and not "feeling needed". There is no way to make someone who intentionally plays a healer be "needed" all the time without making EVERYONE else change the way the play. I don't know of his toons so your sarcasm might as well not be there. There no point in you telling me what he…
  • This is completely and utterly wrong. There is not such thing as "immortal FF" and I dare you to prove me that ALL FF are immortal. What you can have, at best, is an extremely durable toon BUT you have to build for it. You are just making absurd and hyperbole like claims with nothing but air to back them up. Show me those…
  • I call BS on that. You are basically labeling all FF as "no theme" which is absurd. Based on what you wrote it is evident that your gripes are with FF and that you enjoy the trinity system where everyone has a "role". CO is about FF and the content should be made around that not ATs or "roles". If you want roles go play…
  • Why are ppl asking for NERFs and never for BUFFs. I'm just going to ignore the nerf-herders. The only thing those people do is pick a power and complain until it's nerfed, then pick another. + this is a 100% PvP requested nerf and NOTHING else. People should give PvP a rest. It has no support from the Devs and there is no…
  • Could you look into some of the tech mouth options being available for Full Helmets as well?
  • Well the last email I got was on Nov 29 regarding the 15% bonus zen on all charge ups. So... you might want to look into that. Because the email you speak of was not sent, at least not to me.
  • As I mentioned in the post, I usually get them so if I did not that means: 1. They did not send it 2. They messed up sending it And no it's not in my spam.
  • You guys should have sent an email about this. It does not matter to me (LTS) but boy will some not be happy if they miss out on this. SO HURRY and send an email about this. (In case you sent it, I did not get it so there might be an issue....just so you know)
  • Even if you could farm a lot of Q each day most people can only refine 8k a day (unless you are a vet or LTS). So yeah, for 200k a Silver would need 25 days and an LTS/Vet about ~13. This is for ONE aura though so if you want more it would become a months long grind. I'm not doing this for any aura, it's borderline insane.
  • Wait, what can I purchase to make up for it ? :confused: AFAIK there is nothing I can purchase to make up for the loss in survivability.
  • Considering that EACH aura costs 200k I sincerely question how "accessible" they are. I wonder what is the point in investing development time into something that would take forever to get (exaggerated but still). Just to put it into perspective at a 1 Zen to 250 Q conversion rate an aura would cost 800 Zen. This is…
  • Actually, back in the day there was a device dropped from White Rhino that if you clicked on it you would do a "bull" charge towards an opponent and knock it down. Thus, they have the animation (could have been made into a power) but as with many things in the game, it's not used. :rolleyes:
  • Not only are you rude but ignorant as well. The Millennium Flight TP is not like a normal flight at all. Millennium Flight has an additional step that Flight does not have so you get to the same speed as Jet Boots. The TP is nice if it would not be for that Obnoxious Disco Ball effect.
  • How about taking the aura off from Millennium Flight and give it as an Aura option instead? Oh an how about the aura preview?
  • Something like a preview window where it would temporarily show our toon with the aura picked equipped. This way we could tell if we like how it looks. This is a MUST IMO and should have been done for the Q- Travel powers as well.
  • First of all, I'm not just a coder. I do requirements elicitation, design, analysis etc... and then I code or give it to someone to do it. Here's a pro tip from me: Not being able to identify an issue => in being fired. You need to know where the problem is and if you can't figure it out because the environment you set up…
  • How much of that is attributed to the powers/build he used. There is no proof of how he engaged the fight nor what powers he had. It proves nothing more than that his build + play style allowed him to clear the test. It says nothing about how much dodge was affected. I do testing and debug code for a living (among other…
  • No I said "feelings" are not a testing benchmark since they are entirely biased towards the individual. (read the context) "Pass/Fail" is not a testing type, it's a conclusion you come to based on a series of criteria which are evaluated.
  • Since there is no tag towards whom he was referring to anyone who is of a different opinion was targeted by that "joke" :rolleyes: Oh and you stop being patronizing.
  • I could say the same to you. Since when is something like that humor?:rolleyes:
