  1. Similar problems to what we're having. We've tried using Mr. Robot to upload our stuff to but it seems there are discrepancies between what live looks like and the uploaded logs? It's confusing...but I love this addon and I think real time tracking is of upmost importance, hoping the online logs just get better with this program.
  2. Still running into not all attempts archived and the real time numbers for dmg done seem to be much different from the uploaded ones?
  3. It seems that boss attempts that are not "Kills" are not recorded? Is this intended or? Meters seem to work great Live, but in going back to analyze data on failed attempts...there is no data?
  4. I don't think you quite get it. I love the story in this game, in fact I wanted Raiding with Story Driven incentives. Your hard-work and striving in raids should produce an epic climax that is well-written, aka Bioware quality. If, 60% of you guys aren't raiding then I fail to see why any of you would care if the raiding population had the ability to meter its performance. We enjoy playing the game a certain way, let us play that way. We enjoy pushing ourselves to the limits, seeing what our capabilities with the mechanics/abilities can produce...You don't deserve to tell us how to have fun nor limit our endeavors. If you want to play your way nobody is asking you to join our guilds or use our tools. Our epeening as you want to call it can be limited to our group. I would call it proud of performance, and there are certain political ways of purporting it, that others could take a lead on. But the only time we typical attack back is on this sort of bs and the unqualified statements coming from the gallery. It's like a C student telling a Straight A Student how things really are in the A students field of expertise. You only have so much patience for the BS. The difference here is the A student loves to pull out his qualifications where the C wants to find a bunch of ways to ignore it. Perhaps why Plato abhorred a democracy, the whole mob thinks their right on whims. Again it simply comes down to motivation, a runner in a race with a stop watch, a boxer going for the gold, etc etc. Or did you grow up where everyone got a trophy for showing up? Perhaps people should go read some Nietzsche, or read up on some Ancient Greece the founding of our whole Western Cultural tradition, they seemed to thrive on the idea of Arete. Competition drives us and without transparency there is no outlet for competition. True competitors want an equal opponent. True Guilds will compete with each other friendly and within the ranks its a friendly competition to better themselves. I've played MuDs, EQ, EQ 2, DAOC, AoC, WoW etc. After you've lvled there is nothing to do but raid, MMO's are about group activity and completing tasks together. Forming quality teams is what min/maxers do... Those of us in between hardcore raid less, but find players that Min/Max and play their class to its highest potentials. Casual Hardcore consists of players with lifes/jobs playing and employing the same competitive tools/skills the Hardcores do...and there's plenty of us. As the rise of 10 man raiding in WoW saw. Bioware's job is supposed to fill the gap with compelling stories and reasons for raiding in the background. With your model apparently everyone should just go roll alts and wait for story content...If thats the case why are we paying 15 bucks a month... should just wait for the Dragon Ages and Mass Effects... Lastly, the 3 tiered system should allow for all mindsets to get along. Story for the Casuals Heroic for the Casual Hardcores Nightmare for the Hardcore small population. The Casual Hardcores would want meters and such to compare themselves to that top 3%. We'll never invest that much time/energy for stated reasons but if we're within 10% of their performance we're quite happy with ourselves. This is the mindset of normal people trying to be competitive...I fail to see why the game can't accommodate everyone. As to WoW and why switch...it comes down to yes its just raiding and having some awesome story would be great...and Star Wars is a great IP as well.
  5. You deserve an award OP. Couldn't agree more, I've always been in that class of gamers that aren't hardcore but play with the same mentality with the time given and are always right in that competitive atmosphere. The guilds that take a bit longer to get to the content but when they do they go after the same achievements and goals. They want the challenge and want to push themselves but perhaps don't have as much time to devote. With that said the issues of Meters and such doesn't make the game easier it makes people's performance transparent. I tell you as DPS its more about motivation...When you don't know what your numbers are and you don't know how well your playing you have no motivation to really push yourself or excel. Your playing in the dark...it isn't fun. Min/Maxers enjoy pushing themselves and they need to see the results. It's like a runner and a race without a time he doesn't know what to push for next. This mentality of no meters is so care-bear its ridiculous. If your playing story mode nobody is going to care about meters. Casual's go have fun...if your decide to raid heroic/nightmare you have already signed up that you want to be competitive, so your performance should be checked/qualified to go. If you don't like this then too bad your basically wanting a system in which people will carry the bads without knowing who the bads are....and no competitive gamer is going to do that crap...We'll be back off to WoW next expansion, and you casuals will have a dead game...no money...no content...you gave us the finger and then your game died guess too bad now you got nothing.
  6. Is there anyway to unbind Ctrl-A from the Ambience On/Off function? I have a lot of my abilities modified by Ctrl+ something and its pretty annoying to have to keep returning this option on because there's nowhere in the UI to unbind it...This happens due to movement keys being bound to WASD and still having ctrl pushed down in the heat of combat..
  7. How about just a diff color, green emerald lightning ftw, LS Sorcs only!
  8. I would just like to suggest the addition of an execute ability perhaps channeled at below 25% or so. Granted, I use to come from WoW and played an Affliction Lock, 3 dots, 2 fillers, execute phase with Drain Soul. Also of course Demo had its own execute. For ranged it just adds more fun/complexity to have that special phase of the fight where you try to stay rooted to do the most dmg...especially since our class is so mobile with instants and wrath procs. I feel like the Madness Sorc is definitely like an aff lock...3 dots 1 channel. And being that I'm currently Chain Light/Madness Hybrid it sort of does have an execute in that you can't chain lightning all day or you'll go oom. Assuming that they break this build it would add something to the rotation to have an extra ability that isn't just a dot and requires some setup. For a lock having 3 dots plus drain soul doing more dmg per dots and the haunt buff made locks very fun and complex...especially combined with trinkets to buff your dots and the demon soul cooldown. This really separated the bad locks from the good ones...the ability to maximize buffs to dots. I'm certainly glad we're not tracer missle spammers...but I'd love to see just 1 more step up in complexity...anyone else? Edit: I don't think sorc are underpowered or need this, I would expect some balancing would have to be done...this is purely a fun factor suggestion...I find the Chain Hybrid build in pvp etc pretty powerful and useful...again just a fun factor thing.
  9. Is this issue also related: When I use my right click on mouse to steer my character or look behind me and then use an ability, randomly my camera will start spinning and will not stop. Or make my character run and will not stop! Any fix for this? It's making competitive play unbearable.
  10. Not just you lol, I kept using Vette for the longest time because I really like her story more than I like Quinns...but bite the proverbial RPG bullet and just use Quinn...put some good gear on him. Go back to pwning!
  11. Fixed my typo...yes I meant Annihilate. I don't necessarily think that we are broken because we "rely" on a healer. A sorc pretty much relies on a tank to fill in it's missing ability. Although I do think we could use an actually CC that's worth a damn. But for a Sorc to really use it's heals & cc it needs a tank. I think when we use a healer, that fills in the biggest gap for us and let's us really shine. I can pretty much mow through mobs without pause...which was exactly what I was able to do with the OP Sorc at this lvl. Also, I'm more of a PvEr than a PvPer' this video below does a good job of saying how well we do in PVP at 50. I just happy to say that there is defiantly a rough lvling curve but even if we do need some minor tweaks we really really change pace at 40+ and if we had a recount I bet we'd be topping it a lot.
  12. Just have to say that I have defiantly experienced that up and down roller coaster of feeling like Marauders were really underpowered lvling up. I leveled, in Beta, a Sorcerer all the way to lvl 48 and completed his class story. Sorcerer's defiantly had an easy time past lvl 15 and kept getting stronger. The Marauder was defiantly a rough class to lvl, but after lvl 40 I'm starting to feel like a powerhouse. If, you use your healer soloing along with your fleshed out talent tree things pick up greatly. I'm currently Annihilation and Deadly Saber and Annihilate hit like Trucks...I already see some great guides up and I thought I would just post some good news in lite of all the QQing going on. If, you haven't got past 40 just hold your breath...Awesome story and a late shiner for sure. In WoW, I always maintained excellent dps on my Affliction Lock as well as my Mut Rogue and I must say I'm looking forward to playing a Annihilation Marauder, great mix of Dots and MDps just have to hold out for the higher lvls !
  13. Is there a separate link for "Server Status" just to see what that says? Or are way too many people flooding the login and just breaking that server or something?
  14. Yeah I came to the forum from the links on the launcher and thats the only sticky up...which says the servers are up...so yeah confused hah.
  15. So, I believe from the sticky it says that all servers are now up? Any idea why I'm getting login service not available?
  16. It's supposed to be in your inventory, if its there you can't miss it, on the header line of your inventory.
  17. I also checked keybinds and there doesn't seem to be a way to keybind the ability to a button as a workaround sadly...
  18. Yes as soon as I got to Balmorra the button disappeared.
  19. I was having no problems using Reverse Engineer through the first 2 planets, now on Balmora all of a sudden the button is just gone? Has anyone had this happen or know how to get it back?
