Best post in this whole thread. Couple this with the silly lock boxes and I'm done buying most of your stuff: Costumes and travel powers are all you have left as worthwhile buys. And those will only come from my stipend. Your bait & nerf tactics are disheartening.

Roomsweeper, Force Snap, Force Detonation; Ping Pong. Against flying enemies: Uppercut, attack with NTTG, let them hit the ground then force snap them back up, then lunge them back into the ground. Lunge, Uppercut, Chain; Looks like you slam them into the ground with the chain, quite nifty.

I can think of two more Canned Responses

Great for any melee character from a min/max perspective as well outside of PVP. I just wish I could figure out the aiming of the dang things. It seems to land behind most mobs when thrown at point blank range and requires some wrangling. I wish they were ground target like Strafing Run.
-
I like this list. Especially number 2. I kinda feel like they may be 'bleeding' it now with the advent of lock boxes. This post has been edited to remove content which violates the Cryptic Studios Community Rules and Policies -Smackwell

1 - Foundry with Nemesis capabilities. 2 - New power sets. 3 - New environs available for Foundry. If you won't give us new content, let us give it to everyone. Build the zone models and let us work'em.

With a well spec'd GGun, there won't be many left alive after a full maintain. MV's and up will be obviously, but they'll be hurting. GG is strong enough to make it a staple with enough dex piled on to keep it crit'ing. The character I've had since beta has been munitions, and when I didn't have aggro I used it more than…

@ Pugdaddy: Using Killer Instict with a SSS in Rec with Dex as PSS with Gatling Gun will give you full energy almost every time you fire unless you end up with bad luck in the RNG. In this build however, KI wouldn't work very well since it is the 'splash' rather than the total package. I'd go Overdrive if you are…

Leave your @handle or email me @aeolwind and I'll send you a bowtie, gratis.
-
Pulsewave has a build you could base off of, Ms Infinity. Good stuff and lots of fun to play except against Nem Alerts lol.

Dumbest Idea Ever

In this case, there isn't a gaming commission to reduce the rate of cheating. Main reason I won't buy keys is that I can't trust PWE enough. The 1st place rates are less than 1 percent. How do I even know they are actually there?
-
This is what drives me. They got 30$ from me when they had the Q sales going on travel powers. I have a couple diff lairs before I figured out the penthouse was pimp. Costume parts and travel powers are my weakness. I also dropped 15$ on the DPS vehicle. I do not however buy grab bags, catalysts, xp boosts, revives or…
-
I've read some things in bios that cannot be unread. So I'm VERY PICKY NOW about which I read. Some of my characters hit me the right way, I'll give them a bio, otherwise I start with concept, costume and powers and just let it ride.
-
Use MSA, and load the f' up on anything with a cooldown. Unleashed Rage is a good one too. Couple active offenses maybe. This might be a build I'd recommend ranking the EB on lol.
-
'What does THIS button do?' would be a good one as well!
-
Trust in the Turtle. Don't honestly care either way what their decision is or the 'early adopter reward' is. Just tell us something when a decision is made.
-
I got 2 backup devices from Mega D's, so I can't complain. I don't get to play more than 2-3 hours a week now, but back in the first bloodmoon I was on nearly 2 days straight cycling zones, zombies, anything just trying to get something and nada. I just pretend they don't exist and enjoy killing zombies now; Implosion…

Name: PsycheBlade - Telekinetic Assassin - Disciple AT - There is a great TK Blade build down a few posts if you can gear for it, 100% crit build Name: Rouge - Unarmed Thief - Master AT - I stink at unarmed builds, they never feel right to me, so I won't waste your time Name: Bionic Bullet - Armed Assassin - Specialist AT…

None. None of the greedy soandso's will cough up a device for me. Almost 3 years of running them and not 1 single device. 0! Zip! Zilch! Nada! Nunca! None! -_- I has a sad.

Want to make these things fly off the shelf, make money at the same time, more money than you will this way PW? Make the pricing per bag 10/20/30z, 1 legacy item, 1 Drifter salvage per bag. Then, put the individual items up for 20/40/60 drifter salvage. At 100z, you won't get any of my money or Z, none of it. At the…
-
You don't need 2 nailed to the ground powers. I'd also swap out throwing blades for masterful dodge, swap your Str secondary for Dex, & remove the points spent in FotT and move to WotW (ranking forms isn't worth it, ranking passive is).
-
I'm curious why they can't just tie it to the targeting reticule. Problem solved.
-
Once you hit 35 and respec, you can slot the 'Ultimate' abilities just about anywhere but the first 2 power choices.
-
As an LTS holder, I'm perfectly Ok with those that gain it late gain the LTS full benefits of subscription time. Large injection of cash is well worth it to PWE/Cryptic to offer it.
-
They really can't tell us what to test because of various reasons/excuses I've heard in testing before. Best advice I can give is, do one, record result, rinse repeat. Let them review the data and decide what the outlier is.
-
I got some REALLY bad advice when this event first came out; 'Knock'em off, they die'. I was playing a force/might tank with roomsweeper. Needless to say, I soon discovered this was really BAD advice.
-
Yep, and according to the PTS notes they are working hard on smashing bugs that affect stuff like whiteout and resistance. Not sure what changed on the Mother Ship, but I gotta say I'm diggin' it!
-
That is a rough resemblance of what I've been using. I suppose the problem isn't the set it is the energy unlock I chose. Anyone had good success with one vs another in earth?
-
Trailturtle is definitely a step in the right direction, this is a recent development. And G-Crush is fairly persistent down in the PTS forums. I have no problem with player suggestions being ignored however by any development company. It is their game. Sure, sometimes suggestions will coincide with development direction.…
-
Well, going on theme if he is a dragon then a flight would be fiine thematically. Basically, you are overloading on subpar powers and crossloading on similar powers. Having multiple maintains like Lightning Arc (Which i added) and Assault Rifle is very redundant. This stays on theme, adds survivability, reduces the…
-
I considered Quarry, but I've never built it without Int and Ego so I wasn't sure how it would fly. I concur with your guardian & vindicator suggestion.
-
You don't need 2 teleports, way redundant. You need an energy unlock (Overdrive), Force Shield is way better than electric shield and won't shatter the theme, Chain Lightning is weak imo, Assault rifle way better. You need concentration as there is no reason not to have it. Gotta run, More later.
-
I can completely respect that.
-
Unfortunately for us, Crush has a boss that has a great deal more weight on how Crush spends his time at work than we do. Based on the code errors we've been seeing make it to live however, I'm pretty sure this stuff is in the works for at least the AP & lairs.
-
1) Beta, on and off 2) B, simply because I've seen the face of terrible game companies, and Cryptic isn't anywhere near the worst. 3) The game is flat out fun. Yes it is buggy at times, all games in an online environment are. I've worked on the development side of them before and I'm pretty sure the recent rash of bugs…
-
Get some sleep! Having it scale with current HP makes it pretty not useful. That is the only bit in the change that keeps it from being good. A possible better solution would be to have it scale off of either Con or Pre in terms of crit and severity? Base 10% at 10 stat and increasing to 30% at 300 stat? Nice touch. I like…
-
Just checked, the PTS Char Copy page and it is working correctly in Firefox.
-
Doesn't show using IE, does show using Firefox. You should stop using IE :wink:
-
Nemesis gear is roughly the same, but has a resource bonus set effect and the Vanguard/Nemesis primary slot rewards have 9% bonus XP. And yes, the are most awesome. I generally shy away from buying a set for a character till they hit 40 though.
-
Reason the link doesn't work is there is a 'bogus' power choice in the 3rd slot. Try this PowerHouse (Link to this build) I reversed supernatural power and howl.
-
Ball Lightning for the 2nd build, fo sho.
-
I totally agree, I use my stipend for the questionite to spend on secondaries. I don't farm much of anything but XP anymore lol. Coupled with what I find each month just leveling it is plenty to afford them. Worried isn't the term I'd use for it, trying to avoid the 'WHAAAAAAA' from the PVP crowd because they keep getting…
-
Thanks for not calling me out by name :frown:
-
Beldin makes a good point though. Making them mutually exclusive would resolve the issue of feeling like I have to PVP to keep up with the Jones'. Mainly because the PVP daily would have to be based on wins, otherwise you'd have pikers just along for the ride trying to cause a loss as quickly as possible to 'hurry up' and…
-
I made a FOTM build back in the day with a extra retcon I had laying around and lost 12 straight matches with 0 kills. I highly doubt anyone is as inept as I am at PVP*. *The 'at PVP' portion of the previous sentence is completely optional.
-
I've had to solo Ripper before due to Terak getting bored or bugging out. But MI crisis is totally soloable. Just gotta be quick on the block button on the big dinosaur and have a self heal or be able to escape combat to heal.
-
I'm Ok if they stop doing Vet Rewards at 1000 days. It would be a nice 'Thanks for Hanging in' bonus if they simplified the system beyond 1000 days to give a retcon for all characters on an account and every 500 days something like a rename token. That way no extra effort is spent on lifers or hard core golds than needs be.
-
I got to tinkering with this, my first 40 back at release was Munitions. Back when mini-mines were thermonuclear devices. Build currently has all kinds of garbage in it and this thread opened my eyes on a few things it was missing. PowerHouse (Link to this build) Name:Doc Holliday Archetype: Freeform Super Stats: Level 6:…

They do a way better job than other companies. I'm not saying they should make it live, but another game I play, caves and lizards (snicker), allow cash making exploits to live virtually every patch. Not only that, certain bugs have languished there for years.
