  1. Im just not getting the feeling that an all powerful gull would be available at the players whim.  He sits on the truck in Pocket D because he chooses to.

     

    He does offer some great functionality and shortcuts in alignment changes but he didnt exist on the retail servers.  We used to be happy walking but then they gave us a bicycle and now we want a car instead.

  2. The thread to ticket rate is terrible even if i dont plan to use it.  

     

    The ticket cap i believe was in place to deter farming them back on the retail servers,  in addidion to many of the other anti-farming things that the original game devs did.  AE wasnt even supposed to give any xp.

     

    Many of those actions are behind us now and im not sure the ticket cap per mission was ever considered.  If its still in place for some reason then i guess thats fine.  But if its a relic of the past that has been overlooked and negatively imbalanced then perhaps its time to consider its adjustment or removal.

  3. When you dont finish an in progress arc the contact stays active even if you are between missions.  The active arc even counts towards your mission total when you are between missions.  Occasionally in help chat someone will ask why wont their contact give missions and the first thing i ask is 'do you have a bunch (7 i think) of uncompleted story arcs from old contacts?'  The answer tends to be yes and completing a -15 arc gets the missions flowing from new contacts.

     

    @Erinyx it may be worth checking if that character has 1 less mission slot after you finish praetoria

  4. Without consideration that the costume pieces and many animations would all need rework.  

     

    -overweight people

    -dwarf people (actual short arms/legs/torso,  not a tiny character model)

    -average build people.  Not all my heroes hit the gym or buffet for 12 hours a day.

    -4 arms.  I need a gun, a sword, a wand, and a fist all hitting the enemy at the same time.

    @TheZag You can't say that you haven't run it by now.

     

    I like to run this one for fun and to farm for the Volcanic badge for folks. Before you'd have to run it at least 4 times to get them all so I am more than happy with everyone being able to get the badge on one run.

     

    Not sure if or when this alteration to the mob spawns changed but when I did a few runs on Monday we did eventually exhaust the spawns at some point. And then the last kill gave most folks that last one for the badge. 

     

    And yeah, I know, I'm terrible at reading patch notes. I like it to be a surprise, like the weather. But I LUV the mini map now being available. Did Zag tell ya? I told him to. 😁

     

    The spawn was changed this last patch and i hadnt ran it this page till that run with you 2 days ago.  And i got the badge about 2/3 through the run.  There were plenty of bosses.

    It might have been in one of Avernal's excellent bind guides that were published early this year. I think this guide is where it is discussed the most. It's not the exact same implementation, but pretty close.

     

    Thats the one.  I knew i read someone actually mentioning the functionality.

     

    Still all props to those that found it on their own.  Binds and macros would be better served if there was an ingame list of all the valid commands.  Then useful commands like this wouldnt go relatively unknown for such a long period of time.

  7. I wanted to bring some visualization to the interior layout so i made a minimap of what it could possibly look like.  this layout is actually meant to work with mostly existing rooms that would get their objects swapped out but mostly be in the correct layout.  the profile is intended to roughly follow the shape of the actual mothership in game.  please forgive my artistic skills,  i didnt have time to build it to scale or to paint it. (i made a nicer one,  its still not to scale or painted 😄)

     

    room 1 is recycled from the reactor room from the terra volta power plant.  the circle around room 1 is the hallway that leads to the reactor room but continued to make a full circle

    room 1 is meant to be the command room and the entrances are locked until several security terminals are overridden,  possibly in each of room 2

    room 2 is the entrance room from the terra volta power plant.  the majority of the map is 3 terra volta respec maps rotated to make the circle hallway continuous with a single reactor room in the center.

    room 3 is a custom room that i couldnt find a good substitute for in game part of the curved tunnel section from the praetorian undergroundthere are 6 of them so its really only 1 new room that is mirrored for each side. these are the rooms where each of the objectives would be.  hallways could be blocked and added to connect them together for a larger objective or deny access from a particular 'room 2'.

    and that you crater your reward potential.

     

    In the instanced version you get vanguard merits no matter your distance or team so you dont miss out on merits while you are away pulling.

    I am throwing hand grenades and folding space!

    But seriously, pulling can be fun.

     

    I just wish someone would do a clarion on the last pylon as I am tried of seeing people in the raid dying when setting the bombs.

     

    @Apparition says wait after pylon 1 is down for buffs and 1/2 of the raid flies off anyway

    All of you who think an MSR is just clicking heals and AoE's need to roll a tanker/brute and come do some pulling.
