Locking necro thread

Michiyo runs and maintains the wiki, so you can always send them a DM on discord if you think something needs editing or fixing.

Hardly secret, the devs mentioned it at the time

closing necro thread

You know how when you read something and know something they don't know, then laugh?

I am also in awe of our development and admin team. I've seen them knock together a hot fix for a game breaking bug in minutes, then act as if they just made coffee. What makes it even more incredible is I know how busy most of them are in real life. I swear they have Nemesis duplicates running round doing the mundane stuff so they have time to fit everything in 🙂

It's the new Kheldian shard

It's all down to personal preference and play style. And inf. A lot of inf. While it's not ridiculous like it is on live, it can still cost you anything up to a billion inf to fully slot out a character. For me I work on around half a billion, and don't do badly at all. Purple sets are affordable and make a huge difference. I totally get why someone would say beasts are mid tier. They are mostly melee, have little in the way of range attacks, and can be quite squishy at times. The secondary really helps, as buffing any pet (not just beasts) makes a massive difference. I find Demons a bit meh, but other people love them and think they are awesome. Mercs are great since the rework, but for me they come below beasts. And no, I'm as in the dark as you about future reworks 🙂

Have you tried it with the new launcher and whitelisted the launcher? Tequila is old and cranky and can be annoying. Part of the reason for having the launcher is Tequila has zero security and it's theoretically possible for a bad actor to supply a corrupted manifest. The launcher has some back end features that prevent that plus some useful little tools that solve a lot of the most common launching problems.

Yeah, sorry Necromancy. I kind of forget new players aren't familiar with power sets so swapping the names isn't helpful when someone new is trying to find it 🙂

Hey 🙂 I love Masterminds. Top tier are Beasts, Bots and Undead. Mercs got good, and the others are in the process of being reworked to make them better. They aren't bad, but from my own perspective (other people may disagree) they don't pop like the others. The secondary is what can make a massive difference. Empathy is OK but a bit old school, people have change the way they play and enhancements are more potent now. Something like Pain or Time or Thermal are really good and electric is surprisingly effective. It's all about you though and what you enjoy. There aren't really bad choices, just choices that don't work for you.

You mean there is more to the game than AE farming?? Why did nobody tell me this before??

You know we don't get paid, right?

Tell me about it. I'm still trying to get my head round all the discord and forum changes. I'm mildly Aspergers so change is very uncomfortable. If it makes sense in my mind it's fine, but at the moment it's kind of "aaaaaaargh!!" for me 🙂 "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should!!" 😛 Edit: The opinions of GM Crumpet don't always reflect the opinions of the rest of the team, and any issues GM Crumpet has is his own problem and he needs to deal with it 😛

Yeah that's definitely not working as intended. Hopefully the devs will take a look.

To be fair, I always tell players to take heals and rez over leadership pool.

maybe hover over browse not activity?

The Tolkien estate isn't going to be happy now his works are heading for public domain. In 20 years it will be in the public domain in every country except the US. They better milk that series hard as soon they won't be able to sue anyone.

I was under the impression it auto ended on the 1st. It might be the scripts for the zones end but the event has to be turned off manually. It's a bit confusing as some things stop and others don't.

The first rule of NDA is you never mention the NDA 😛

The event ended last night, so you were probably just that few minutes too late

Probably for the best. No policy against it, but if someone wants to remain quiet and under the radar then that's their right. And yeah, we lock threads that get out of hand. Sometimes the anonymity of the internet can be a curse as well as a blessing. As my mother always said when I was a child, "just because you can say something doesn't mean you should" 😛

As far as I'm aware there are no live devs about. There certainly aren't any involved on the HC team in any capacity. There may be one or two with player accounts, but we'll never know. A lot of them are still covered by their NDA they signed originally and I know a few of them have gone on to work for other studios and other projects. I vaguely remember ages ago when one of the original devs was asked if they knew about us they seemed not to know as their reaction was along the lines of "Really? That's nice" and they changed the topic.

I work security and do night shifts and day shifts so my play time is all over the place. I'm lucky, my job is such that I have a lot of downtime so can play when I am at work. I have alts on Excel for those tines I want a team or Hami or MSR and I have alts on Reunion for those times I just want a bit of peace and quiet and solo play. I'll have a day off and log onto Excel at 9am my time and find it's 4am EST and still have people running Tinpex. That's the joy of being international, dead on Excel? Reunion is probably humming. Dead on Reunion? Check the live numbers on discord and see where the cool kids are hanging out.

Because I like to annoy the undead
