Ironblade

To be fair, that cutscene has awesome dialog. Frostfire: "I used to be like you. I thought things were simple." Lackey: "Yeah, simple." Frostfire: "Shut up, you moron!"

As I recall, the only thing that has sound is the tutorial in the wreckage of Galaxy City. Everything else is text.

Which is weird, because that also seems to be what you complain about the most on the forums. 😛

Honestly, I see this exact comment a lot in the Valheim reddit. The game has amazing reviews, people rave about it, but plenty of people simply don't enjoy it. No game ever has had universal appeal. Having said that, yeah, the game kind of sucks at really low level. Which is why I get past that as quickly as possible. I buy the double XP buff from the Pay2Win vendor in Atlas Park and do the Death From Below trial with random people a few times to get to somewhere in the 12-15 range. Then I delete the double XP buff and start playing the game 'for real'. On a side note, the 'DFB' trial (that's what everyone calls it in chat) is fun. It's much more recent content. Another piece of good content at low level is the Shooting Stars mission arcs. The initial contact is Twinshot and you can start the arcs at level 5. It actually has a story and interesting characters unlike some of the original content which is "Go to the warehouse and defeat the random boss."

Only if you bork bork bork in chat.

This is a fine place, as this is of broad interest. But you might want to ALSO post in the Indomitable section. Scroll about 2/3 of the way down on the main forum page.

Okay, I took every tank armor set to level 50 back on live and it was never NEVER like you're describing it. As for the tanks herding the entire zone, the fix for that was adjusting the aggro cap and nothing more. Now tanks can only have 16 enemies 'mad' at them. There was no damage nerf to stop tanks from herding entire zones. Either your memory is playing horrible tricks on you or you had no idea how to play back then. Either way, you should be pleasantly surprised by the current state of the game.

Well, howdy. Just a heads up: Reunion and Indomitable currently have double XP to try to drive new people to the less crowded shards. Everlasting and Torchbearer have 1-1/2X, for the same reason. Excelsior is the most crowded shard by a wide margin. Also, the Reunion shard is located in Germany (to reduce latency for players in Europe), while all the others are in Canada.

On their behalf, I'll point out that the thread title right next to yours is "Wow... so happy to have found this place." I guess not everyone is a bitter sourpuss.

I'll admit it. Ironblade is on Torchbearer - and every other shard. All of them are level 50 and two of them are all tier 4 incarnate.

ALL purple sets can ONLY be slotted at level 50. They most certainly do get the set bonuses below 50. They get them right down to level 1.

Yeah, but he's not looking for Manticore the task force contact.

First - I did not know the kiosks tracked that information. Second - Those are some massive numbers. I decided to check my stats. I figured I might have decent enhancement numbers since I'll buy converters 3,000 at a time to craft trash, convert and sell. Once that character is fully incarnate (and not played as often), I move to a new one and repeat. I track on a spreadsheet where I have a lot of cash so I just checked for those characters. It turns out I only needed to sell 700 - 1200 enhancements to hit the inf cap, dump extra cash into email, and move on to a new character. And I've sold about 2% as many enhancements as you have. That suggests you have way more than 50x as much inf as me and that's A LOT.

Sheer size of the . . . Oh, you're talking about gaming with miniatures. My brother's family does that. I was only talking about computer games. There's a ton where you're controlling an entire army on the screen. I don't care for those. I play the shooters like Space Hulk:Death Wing and Warhammer:Vermintide 2.

So you're saying it's not "the official server", it is merely *A* official server, of which there currently is ONLY ONE. So it's the only official server, but it's not "the official server". Do I have that right?

I'm guessing you do this on multiple characters, hence the need for a document. I only do this on my ONE badge hunter, so I did it once back on live and once on Homecoming.

Make sure to slot a jump enhancement in Hurdle and Combat Jumping. With a running start, you can leap an astonishing distance. You're one of those, eh? "Everyone has to have Hasten!" blargh.

The Warhammer universe is an odd tale in IP licensing. Games Workshop decided, "Hey, let's give a license to any software developer who asks. If they do a good job, we'll let them do more." As a result, there are about a bajillion games set in the Warhammer universe. Many of them suck, but there are also a shocking number of really good games. I've only played a handful because the IP focuses on controlling armies while I prefer first person shooters.

If you could say why you don't like it, we might be able to make suggestions about what class or powers you might like better. Cool. I have a fire/kinetics corruptor. Pretty devastating. I went with kinetics mainly because he was for a 'no IO's or pay to win items' team. I figured people would have endurance issues so I picked kinetics.

It seems the OP created their account this week and only has the one post ever. I would therefore suggest that their problem in running the game stems from some issue at their end, rather than a problem with the servers. In the absence of any further feedback - or rather, USEFUL feedback - I think we're done here.

That's good. You won't be coming in with preconceived notions like "Every team has to have ONE tank, ONE healer and some DPS." There are FIFTEEN 'archetypes' (commonly referred to as 'classes' in other games). Each character has a primary powerset and a secondary one. In each category you will have at least seven options and as many as two dozen. So, a blaster could use Archery, Assault Rifle, Beam Rifle, Dark Blast, Dual Pistols, Electrical Blast, Energy Blast, Fire Blast or seven other choices. Each has a different combination of damage type, animations, secondary effects (knockback, slow, damage over time, etc). My point is that there is an INSANE number of options. You might start with a scrapper and decide melee damage stinks and then do an ice blaster and feel it's amazing. Offhand, I would say to start with a relatively durable character so you aren't frustrated by dying a lot while you learn the game. I started with a broadsword/regeneration scrapper. Other good options would be a brute, stalker, tank or sentinel. What these all have in common is that one of their powersets is a defensive set (i.e. designed to keep you alive). With a tank, the defensive set is primary so they are very tough but lower damage. A scrapper reverses that. A blaster has the highest damage but they are 'squishy' (easy to kill).

Basically, 'yes'. But it's not entirely that simple. A blaster does more range damage than a sentinel since the sentinel gets a defense powerset. All other things being equal, a blaster does the most damage and Beam Rifle is the highest set for single target damage. Offhand, I think I've soloed every AT in the game. I've probably soloed a scrapper the most since my main (and badge hunter) is a scrapper.

I don't have any preference that is independent of the character concept. That's what determines my travel power. And sometimes the character makes the most sense with no travel power other than Athletic Run and a purchased jet pack for when you need it. Offhand, I think the single largest category of my characters would be those with no travel power. I think the second largest group would be those with Flight since it is SUCH a classic superhero power and fits a lot of concepts.

I've been playing a new character on Indomitable for the bonus XP and doing iTrials on Everlasting. I have not seen any issues at all. Are you playing on Excelsior? That's the busiest shard and I have avoided it for that reason.

Or just play EVERYTHING. Back on live, I took every archetype to level 50. Then I did tanks and took every armor set to 50. I've also taken most of the control sets to 50.
