    You are reading this wrong. I quite enjoy playing at x8. I do not enjoy the Council wiping out my pets with a barrage of AoEs in every spawn. This isn't about x8 difficulty. This is about the Council specifically. It may not be easy to notice in spawns that are largely Darkwolves and Vampyri, though. It appears to be related to the Vortex and Galaxy updates.


    I would understand if they were causing you issues at the default difficulty, but you are purposefully buffing them and then having trouble with them are you not?

    Our characters can start with auras. So if an aura is missing from the costume creator that is part of a character's concept, it helps to get that aura in the costume creator so the character can have it at start rather than having to wait until they get the requisite number of rare random drop Prismatic Aethers or build up the millions of inf' required to buy them from the AH to complete the character's look.


    Yes hun that is why I started by saying you can have it under as a normal costume aura ❤️ That you can get from level 1 on any toon, the aether one was just a suggestion for if you wanted a different costume aura as well 🙂 

  3. I mean with all due respect, if you are still levelling your toon and setting what equates to the difficulty (x8) it is going to get harder? The game I believe is intended to be played at +0/x1 as that is default, the option to raise both the team size number and level modifier is there for when the game feels too easy and you want a harder fight, either against tougher mobs (Level increase) or more mobs (Team size).

    Sorry if I am reading this wrong but it sounds like you have the difficulty boosted to something you are both not enjoying and struggling with, the game is not meant to be played so easily at +4/x8 that has just sadly become the norm ❤️

  4. So the all Kheldian MotherShip Raid is happening this Monday just after the normal daily Mothership Raid, we will be forming in Pocket D and going to the instanced version from there! Any level can join us but it would help if you bring your highest level Kheldian to the fight!
     

    The MSR will be at: 9pm UK time ❤️ 
     

    Some things that will help if you want to go above and beyond:

    Hybrid - Support
    Destiny - Rebirth
    Lore - Cimeroran Radial

    Amy's Ward


    Hope to see plenty of you there and can't wait to prove once and for all who the superior aliens truly are!

    I will also be recording it and hopefully posting it once I figure out how video editing software goes 😄

  5. If it was added as an optional thing you can tick I am all for it ❤️ Though as a few people said you can do that with binds/macros (Though a lot of players get confused by them so I understand the desire for an option instead). And it would help me a ton know who I am talking to at times without always having to check notes, as sometimes people go for a completely different name and I don't want to treat them like a stranger, but at the same time I can't check my notes of every player that joins an event I run 😄 

    Also you can 100% be stalked online unless you want the victim to log off and never back online, I have someone who will stalk every open world event I run and unless I decide "Everyone the event is cancelled because I am going to have to leave." I can't keep them away, only on ignore.

    Yea, that's quite a bit of difference. But on the positive side, pretty sure PBs and WS have never had any hard changes or tweaks, just the toggle thing, so maybe they will be next to be looked at?

     

    I believe Masterminds are next but hopefully after that! I know the Devs are going to rework Kheldians in the hopefully near future, I just pray I'll enjoy them after still 😄

    I'm not sure if we really need a thread for contacts, but it seemed better than posting ideas for contacts in separate threads where they might get scattered and lost.

     

    I just finished with Kong Bao (Skyway) as a contact.  He stopped talking to me at level 21, but didn't offer any more contacts. I didn't complete his arc, it was just a bit over half when he stopped giving me missions.  It might be good to add for all contacts when they become inactive, check for other contacts in the player's level range and offer those.  I can find new contacts and I have some already, but it would be a convenience for players just to automatically toss some contacts at them.

     


    There is a find contact button is there not on the contacts tab? That gives you all the contacts in your level range and even teleports you to them ❤️ 

  8. There is a possible bug with it atm where instead of each person having a 10% chance to get a pet, the entire group of people who hit it have a SHARED 10% chance for a SINGLE person to get it. So if you have 10 people who hit it, you would have a 1% chance of getting it instead of 10%

    It's not really a question of complexity, I actually enjoy complex ATs and builds, different ways to engage a group, and thinking outside the box. As an example, sometimes I 3 box masterminds and even farm with them because I find brute and tanker farming to be so mind-numbingly dull. I just dislike the whole "turn into something else, attack, and change back" aspect. If there was a way to disable the model change so you look the same, I might be able to get into it. But if shifting is optimal for PB/WS then I will likely dislike it. 


    One of the biggest asks for Kheldians has been a "minimal fx" option for the forms but sadly you will be at a big disadvantage playing just human (Though about the same as a normal Tri Form without the extra utility)

    Human only average DPS: 319.25

    Tri Form average DPS: 280.2

    Changeling average DPS: 711.79

  10. The bind put simply is: activate form - power - deactivate form 🙂 the speed in the video is from someone who has played a PB for 2 years straight remember 🙂

     

    Its not how the AT is intended to play, but sadly until the rework it is the only way we can compete on damage. I've tested both human only and tri form and sadly the numbers are true, hence why there is still the stigma of Kheldians doing no damage and unable to tank, since most people know of them pre changeling.

  11. Allow me to introduce myself ❤️ probably the biggest advocate for Kheldians out there after Widower 😄

     

    1 - current state we are in a good place, my PB can do all content in the game well, however it comes with experience not just a level 50.

     

    2 - for a lot of content no, but you will be 1/3 as effective as a quick changing Kheldian (Changeling/Shifter) thankfully on my guide it has the binds down to only requiring a single button press, so its not as daunting as it looks ❤️

     

    3 - I will have to test solo but i believe we could, we have good dps and good resists, plus with lores and daggers we have -regen

     

    4 - Honestly PB can solo with ease once you know how to play, from level 1 to +4/x8 missions, WS you will probably die more.

     

    If you have any questions let me know and I will HAPPILY answer them ❤️

    I dont have the time or dedication to get multiple characters to the pinnacle.  Its so time consuming.  Id like to at least get ONE fully leveled and kitted out though, but every time I think ive found "The One".. i get disappointed by some aspect of them.  So lemme ask the community:

     

    Can you think of an Archetype and powerset that has:

     

    1) Solid protection from crowd control

    2) Clickable defenses that can be perma'd OR some form of sapper protection that keeps them from becoming a wet noodle when sapped

    3) Adequate damage that would allow for soloing AVs, or at least duoing effectively.

    4) Isnt a mastermind (I just dont enjoy pet management)

    5) Durable.  Either through high defense/resist or through healing, or through great crowd control, or whatever.  Just not flimsy.

     

    Any suggestions?

     

    My experience has been that no combo can meet these 5 requirements.


    Peacebringer, they are an absolute experience to play and tick every box and more, I have been playing mine for 2 years straight now without ever alting and doing all the content in the game on her ❤️
     

    Rough Stats
    Resists - capped in all but Psi

    Defense - 12.7% in all
    Max HP - 1910.29
    DPS - 1,137
     

    Other pros:
    Fold Space
    A mini nuke every 6 seconds
    Phase shift on a 30 second cooldown
    2 actual nukes
     

    Content ran with build (Both tanking and DPSing):
    All of the 4* content
    All Incarnate Trials
    Hamidon/MotherShip Raids
    Solo Fire farming
    Solo +4/x8 missions
     

    Cons:
    Arachnos are the only mob type that cause issues due to their psi damage, -end, holds and blinds. So when encountering them take it a bit slower and nuke em faster then they can recover ❤️ 

    I can safely say a lot of people who have put time into learning their kheldian enjoy them 😄

  13. To get this back on topic of ALL the reasons why an instanced would help rather then people tunnel visioning on 1 single reason:

    MAIN - Excessive arrival times to attend your own event.
    At the moment I am having to arrive an hour early to make sure I can get in before others, this isn't to organize or to set it up, this is just to secure my position in the zone. There is the chance I could form in Abyss 2 if Abyss 1 is full, but then I will have to deal with a ton of people sending tells saying they are in the zone when they are still in Abyss 1, a lot of added stress to the event just in that.

    Instanced would allow me to arrive in Echo Plaza where there is a 200 player cap, 5-10 mins before starting, getting the teams set up, and going from there. This also adds the benefit of if there are enough people there someone from the first hami league can run a second overflow one much easier (This is already being done most days when we have a second league leader).


    Leechers/Griefers
    When everyone is in the league, it is easy to see how many are afk, how many are hiding buds, how many are doing x/y. If you are outside of the league in the open world, you could be doing it perfectly and better then the rest, but I as a league lead have zero idea of that, and so I can not adjust how it is ran based on that to make sure the event succeeds.

    Instanced would allow me to know that everyone in the "zone" is on my little map so I can see when Jimmy runs off to log off early and takes a bud with him, unintentionally hiding it behind some rocks, it would also allow me to see people who are AFK since they either have the afk above their head after incan or don't accept incan, in which case we can wait a little bit for them to get back ❤️

     

     

    To address concerns that people have kindly shown:

    Blacklisting
    I can not speak for all league leaders, but all the ones I speak to have a very select set of people they will exclude for their own personal reasons, not because we have a secret list we share about. I for one have a single person who has been an issue for over a year for creeping on myself and multiple girls, alongside comments I would not want to repeat.


    Solo players
    Sadly this will affect solo players who are helping, however similar to when or if you join an I-Trial, sometimes you need to join a league for the events that require a league to complete it.


    EoE drops
    They could up the drop rate of EoEs if that is possible, or people are normally more then happy to share the ones they have spare (I highly doubt this will affect the market since they sell for around 100 inf)



    I believe those are all the issues but please remind me of any I have missed, I want to help clear this up for as many people in a way that isn't us vs them ❤️

    DRAFT.......DRAFT......DRAFT.....(categorizations only a draft for discussion's sake).
    issues:  (some if not all happening on single shard only). (DRAFT).
    ⦁    overcrowding
    ⦁    excessive showing up early times
    ⦁    leechers/griefers
    ⦁    lost seeds
    ⦁    potential raid failures
    ⦁    no ability to 'kick' leechers/griefers
    ⦁    no ability to 'lead' non-leaguers

    fixed by "instanced raid":  (DRAFT)
    ⦁    ability to 'kick'
    ⦁    ability to 'lead' since everyone is in league

    not fixed by "instance raid":  (DRAFT)
    ⦁    overcrowding
    ⦁    excessive showing up early times
    ⦁    leechers/griefers
    ⦁    lost seeds
    ⦁    potential raid failures


    I know this is a draft (clearly 😄 ) But overcrowding is not an issue but the cause of an issue (Being showing up early) and the only thing the instanced does not fix in that list is potential raid failures, but that is always going to be an issue hun

    Without getting into the pro's and cons that people have mentioned, and speaking as a player rather than a GM, I like the idea of the option of an instanced version. These things go in cycles. The MSR instance languished unused for a long time, but has started to pick up in popularity on Excelsior. Now it's at least 50/50 which version the league leader runs.

     

    Each shard has their own way of running these two events, and it's up to the league leaders how they decide to run them. An instanced version would be one more tool for the league leaders to use if they wish. 

     

    Saying that, I don't know how hard or easy it would be for the devs to make an instanced version. They also have a lot to do so it's a matter of someone having the time to actually create an instanced version. It also might be an absolute nightmare to create. 

     

    Hami is the only one where multi boxing is forbidden. We relaxed the rule on MSR a long time ago, but Hami is a special case.


    Yeah I wouldn't want a huge amount of focus on this from the devs as I imagine they are already overworked as it is, but if it is something feasible I would like it to be made ❤️ Because I know soon the day will come where the zone fills without me and I can not get on any earlier, and I do not want to deal with the headache of a dozen tells saying their there but are in abyss 1, then people asking why we are not in abyss 1, it's a lot of added stress onto an already taxing task 😄 But it will lead to me being kicked out of my own event which is crazy to think about in any other context imo.

    If you read all my comments, then you would see that on the rare occasion I go to a Hami raid, I join the league. There are others that choose not to though, and none of them that I was there to see were trolling the raid. So let me ask you your question in reverse. What is any solo person doing that is of significance to the raid? The only argument I saw that holds any real weight is people not staying in the bowl for when the buds spawn, so the buds may spawn out of view. And that can be remedied by making the buds always marked on the map. If they are marked on the map, then who cares where they spawn? That takes away others' ability to troll. Without taking away the ability for people that don't make it in time to actually be on the league despite getting in the zone or those that prefer to not be on the league for whatever reason to contribute to the raid. There is a means of neutralizing trolls' ability to troll without punishing everyone else.

     


    I feel like we may all be going slightly off topic here and going on about solo players vs league players which whilst slightly relevant is not the point of the suggestion. The suggestion is to give league leads better control over the content they run, be it from not having to arrive an hour early, or from choosing not to invite bad apples to the event 🙂 There's no point going in circles so can we agree to disagree about that part of the suggestion and move onto more productive conversations about the suggestion ❤️

    No one is asking for changes to league events to cater to solo play. The request is to not implement changes to league events to cut out solo play.


    The suggestion would benefit leagues and their leaders in a league event ran by the league leader, in the process cutting out solo play, in a league event...

    Sounds like more hami raids are needed then.  This happened on Torch.  During peak time, the Hive was filling early so they started doing an "earlybird" Hami raid before the regular one.  And then there was a 3rd one - the "afterhours" raid.  And all 3 were done every night of the week.  Different leaders for the different raids.  Now, we're down to 2 per night, but it will go back up eventually.  


    We currently have the one I run, the early hami ran by @Oklahoman on a lot of the days, one ran in the hive at a bit later time, then sometimes even a overflow raid led by Okie again at the same time as mine, it doesn't make sense to have even more people having to lead these events then allowing the people leading them to start on time, without them having to take an extra hour out of their day to sit in a zone twiddling their thumbs
