It's so strange to me. I have always found leveling a widow to level 24 to be a blast. yet so many people say it's a pain. That said I am on the other side of leveling SoA. OOOOMG leveling a SoA is SO PAINFUL to me! You get all these attacks/powers that you would think, "SWEET I am about to run though this map so hard" only for me to be resting after the second group 5mins later wondering why my attack feel like an AoE and cone of wet noodles while my End is giving me the cold shoulder and talking about how it's time we start see other people, and me begging my end that I can change...it never works out....wait what were we talking abut again???....stupid Stamina...I had a ring with +Endurance in my back pocket....why couldn't you simply wait till you were 21?! I haven't done the Peacebringer and Warshade in a long time. All I remember is people being mad at me because 99% of stuff with flying on my PB no matter what I did (was before IOs) and I remember my Warshade being stupid crazy powerful and fun, but it was such PAINFUL getting there that I am pretty much a "never again" thing to this day. Just feels like way more work than I am willing to put in just to get back to that point. I am also stuck now days wondering if I was a fool back on live servers when it comes to the Night Widow and the Fort. I simply remember trying the Fort and thinking, "Wow this sucks!" only to now be like, "I AM HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE!!!!"

I find when people say to "play the market" to be the biggest joke of all times and nine out of ten said person IS playing the market...the whole market. I get most of my IOs from Merits be it the whole IO itself of the recipes, then using any recipe I do get in a drop and upgrading it later if I can. You can make some money here and there dropping 100 merits on an ATO or two and selling it in the market. You may our may not get the price you want and might have to let it sit for a while on sale but you will get something. I made a farm character once and it was nice for drop and all that, but I can't really keep a farm character because it burns me out on the game overall fast. I have to tip my hat to those who can run a farming character or two and still jump into the game with the same gusto, like REALLY I tip my hat to you guys, 🤣 It's why I had to stop playing Warframe! I can only run the same map over and over in one gaming session let long the next two gaming sessions in a row so many times before I am throwing up my hands going "OH SCREW THIS!" and the CC is flying out the wallet 🤣 a few TF and Trails, specially, for a weekly work great for some Merits here and there, but the real way I make it is joining a Hami Raid once or two a week and a MSR. level 45 being the sweet spot when you can join almost anything outside of level 50 plus stuff. If you can hang in there with SOs or a few crafted SOs (is that what they are called, can't remember?) till you get the stuff you need with Merits and lucky drops, you will be good to go, and anything you don't need and can save, slap into your SG base storage (make one or two if you don't have a base!) for another character who doesn't have to worry so much about the grind or getting passed a lot of inf. just be the right level to use everything! All this works for me but I am on like Torch. I plan on making a new character from scratch one day on one of the other two big servers and seeing if I can make it without sending stuff to said new character. A new server, a new Base, a hope and a dream and see what happens. Tho I do feel bad leaving Torch, how do you guys play on more than one server that do? Anyways, again this all works for me, and this forum is full of people with a lot of way better working ideas, plans, etc.

Ah, I forgot lore wise the RIP is independent from Arachnos. I really was thinking Arachnos Agent or Official. Oh well, still love the place! 😁👍

Funny enough had the game stayed the way it used to be where we didn't have IOs, set bonuses and maybe even incarnate powers but keep all the changes of mobs and stuff up to now, THEN (and only then) I could see have powers that puts groups of mobs in a timeout. The reality of the game is that we have at best almost always had stuff long the lines of, "Burn this group down...HEY Second wave is coming now, burn both groups down and don't let anyone get away......AWWW one got away, we failed getting this badge this run!" At best why hang on to what seems like an old game play/design and philosophy that was kinda outdated even back then? I am not gonna pretend to know what it's like balancing and coding stuff, but we have so many powers that are in a way useless and not in the Mid/Max type of way you see on the forums. There are a lot of powers that are "fun" solo and maybe make ya giggle, but trying them on a team only makes you wanna cry and sorry that you did. Some are a fast way to end up on a blacklist 🤣. The very fact some of these powers now days are only useable/useful because of IOs should speak volumes of a lot of the old way things here and there. Again I am kind of a nobody and don't often speak on the forums, so like I normally say... I could be 100% wrong and only leading to what might indeed be a Greek tragedy in the making.

Okay but how did you slot it??? <.< I am asking for a friend and totally NOT taking notes.....

Imagine my complete and utter disappointment....I do NOT see a large cup of coffee. The rest of my day is ruined....

Finally got to check it out today. First of all the look at feel? Nailed it! Feels like it's not only a part of Mercy but like it's been missing this whole time and now it's at home. The look and art style a dead on for the area and the music? LOVING IT! The interior is just as beautiful as the outside giving the the perfect Rogue Isles Arachnos feel. Having both a quartermaster and SG registry there? VERY NICE! A little sad we have the ability to fix our settings for team size, mob level, etc, would be a nice spot to put a Fateweaver. Would having it be a logout spot for a day job in the future be out of the question?

This x10! For years even on live I have never understood why this power acts the way it does when it should 100% act like the Singularity pet from gravity control in that it pulls everything in and should hurt while doing so, but more of dropping it on the ground like say Tar Pit, matter of fact should be one heck of a one, two punch set up with the two powers. But that is 100% my own opinion and I could be totally wrong and begging for a Greek tragedy in the making.

I started a Grav/FF not to long ago and this is VERY helpful. That said I have a question or two. 1: Does Wormhole need a KB to KD? or am I wasting a slot for that that could be used for something else or a proc? (what are some good Procs If even a thing?) 2: Same for Singularity, am I wasting a slot or is this so needed before mobs start flying everywhere? So far I am just level 25 and LOVING wormhole, kinda amazed at how fast it recharges so far without a lot of recharge. After reading this I am so picking up Teleport Target. I had simply played on Warmhole'ing groups into my pet, but learning I can do the reverse? YES PLEASE!

So it isn't just me, also on a Mac

I am having the same Problem only the bind is not working for me (that or I am totally doing it wrong) It was working fine till I updated everything a day or two ago then I notice the freebies menu was gone

Do we know what Praetorian Hamidon looks like fully?

Wow I am not gonna lie the idea of focusing one straight up DPS kinda sounds like not only a breath of fresh air but feels like something blasters should have always been doing. Thank you all, It seems I got some work to do on the test sever (big grin)

Thanks, Def it is! That said, Regen really? I was not expecting that to be honest, but it totally makes sense.

So I have been playing around with 2 of my blasters, one Firex3 and the other BR/Dev/Mace. Both are great, I have zero problems when it comes to damage and I say alive pretty well. What I have notice between the two of them is that while my Fire blaster has almost full on Res with about 36-40% Def, they can take a hit and pretty well when attacks get past the Def that and with knockdowns, hold, etc, they door very good for survival. My BR/Dev/Mace blaster on the other hand does VERY well at not getting hit with soft cap Def you know....until they DO get hit with a small padding of Res. I have only tried a few 2 star TF/SF and none of the new content that just came out, if I wanna try harder content which works better? A very strong Def with back up for getting hit with -Def, a strong Res with back up for getting hit with -Res or a mix of both with a solid attack chain? I want to pull this off with my next blaster which will be Seismic/Earth, sadly I am on a Mac so none of the joys of Mids, that said the guys and post here have been a MAJOR help with countless hours on the test sever. Should I go full Def, full Res, a mix of both or pick a different powers other than Seismic/Earth if I am really trying this?
