Multiple crashes daily after the "rush" due to opportunistic online media blowing up the servers and still no update after close to a year.
Devs, ermm "Volunteers", what say you on this?
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.

Yeah yeah I made some toons on Torchbearer too... everyone does, but they never admits to it much.
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.

There are Purple sets that can't be slotted below level 50. In that case, they don't get the set bonuses below level 50.
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.

You can Lock your current group size and Q up for whatever TF you want to do and it will transport you to the contact straight away. Nice little cheat code.
Yeah, but he's not looking for Manticore the task force contact.

I have sold on the /AH a total of 478,203 enhancements, 2,131 inspirations, 6,221 recipes, and 1,155,880 pieces of salvage.
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.

yeah i never played 1) it was an investment (pay 2 win) but more than that....2) the sheer size of the game room required and time involved seemed daunting.
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.

Well no it's not "the official server", it just has permission via NCSoft now via a "license." As I understand based on the official license thread, HC is the only server at the moment to have a "license".
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.

With all this in mind, I think I'll settle on Superspeed and Combat Jumping instead of my original plan of picking up Flight.
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.

So Youtube has decided i love warhammer 40k.
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.

alright i got to lvl 11 Dark/Dark. I just don't like it.
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.
10 hours ago, smnolimits42 said:Alright, i think i found my next alt, Fire/Rad Corruptor, so far i'm lvl 13. Tons of fun.
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.

(P.S. This is my first time playing an MMORPG)
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).

Do ranged characters really do more damage. If so which one does more single target damage ??
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.

So it's either "play something that relies on someone ELSE being the superman tank that can't die...... or be it yourself" ?
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.

EA is a multi-billion dollar company, it could've afforded the best programmers and designers in the world... and it puts out a launcher that looks and functions like it was created by a 9 year old using a WYSIWYG program to piece it together. Practically unlimited funds, and they shit that thing out.
Sounds about like Ubisoft's networking. They have some really amazing co-op shooters (The Division 1 & 2, the Ghost Recon series, etc). The games are amazing when you can get their crap back end to allow you to play with your friends. We tried to play Ghost Recon: Wildlands over the holiday and it kept dropping people off the team. In the past couple days, it has settled back down to working REASONABLY well.

Feel free to e-mail as many Hero merits as you want to @PLVRIZR or @PLVRIZR2 😆

Do you even hoard, bro?
My precious merits are MINE! ALL MINE!

I do not understand the "quieter experience" part.
Reasonable. But you don't have to understand it to acknowledge that some people feel very differently from you. They WANT the 'quieter experience', regardless of whether you understand their motivation or not.
On 12/29/2023 at 8:13 PM, kelika2 said:As for the "toxic" thing id probably just dismiss it due to how broad the accusations are.
I see. It's a widespread issue, but you would "just dismiss it".
On 12/29/2023 at 8:13 PM, kelika2 said:And to answer your question, all MMOs from live servers to private servers being on a smaller pop server was never attractive because of limited access to dungeons, instances and whatever other group content is there.
Wow! Totally wrong! Just flat-out factually incorrect. Some MMOs (notably The Secret World, in my experience) DELIBERATELY spread people out across many smaller shards in order to create an atmosphere of desertion and isolation. This is a key design choice of the game. Accordingly, there is no content that requires more than five people - no Hami or Mothership raids or 8, 12, 16, 24-person trials. So, 'not all MMOs'.

1,000 merits (give or take). What should I do with them?
If you find a good answer, let me know. I have over 50,000 across my accounts/characters.
I used 2004 on my badger for the Mini Statesman vanity pet, 2012 for Mini Tyrant, 2005 for Mini Lord Recluse.

So, what kind of an advantage does a player receive by slotting +Recharge into a Defense Power?
And also...how do +Recharge set-bonuses and LoTG procs help...(if any)?
What kind of benefits are we talking.... miniscule or big deal?
Slotting recharge gives the same effect it would in any other click power. Personally, I have serious recharge slotted in Fortitude on my empathy defender. I can keep Fortitude up on three teammates continuously. Recharge in, say, Force Fields is not needed because the power recharges very quickly and it hits all teammates in range when you use it.
+recharge bonuses and LotG can be HUGE. I have an earth/radiation controller who, with Accelerate Metabolism and Hasten, has 'perma Hasten'. He can spam his powers and stack controls fast and the Accelerate Metabolism gives him the endurance to do it. It's even more dramatic on a Dominator with perma-Hasten and perma-domination. You just need to plan around that endurance usage.

Yes. All badges that are from arcs can be gotten via flashbacks.
Have they changed it so that you can get Pither's badge in flashback?
As far as I know, you can only get the missions directly from Pither.
Wow... so happy to have found this place.

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.
