sigh...so much fun, so versatile. jack of all trades, master of ALL haha probably my favorite build in any mmo, ever

think of it this way...in most other games you buy an expansion there are 5-10 new level, a half dozen zones to level in ()RIFT being an exception that tripled ther games landmass, although it is only for lvl 50+ players), a couple of new abilities and MAYBE a new class. there is new top level dungeons/raid to start, with. you generally pay $50+. here, its 5 levels, one ability with some other changes, a new zone to level in (hopefully with enough content so we dont have to rely on repeating new Makeb dailies to level), a new raid, and some rehashed dungeons as HM's, for $10 dollars. (i sub to any game i play if the option is there, it relieves me of any potential hassles) what you're getting per dollar spent isnt that far off a normal expansion. whether you think what they are giving is any good - or is 'worthy' of being called an exapnsion - is your own affair.

some guy leveled to cap in Champions Online, without ever leaving the tutorial zone. just kept doing the same repeatable event. people do crazy things.

havent read that it doesnt still stack, so i assume it does. also after checking out the new gear on PTS, alacrity on everything, even dps gear.... early ideas? stack it for? ignore it, just 'let it happen' if its there? avoid it in favor of other stats, as the decreased gcd may cause heat issues?

most fun spec? carolina parakeet (RIP)

bad idea. too many people that will abuse it just for 'lulz', and knowing BW customer service speed you could have people unfairly banned from chat for hours, maybe the full 12, before something is done.

this is great. im all for players controlling/influencing the game environment as much as possible. too bad the space game is such nonsense, we could blockade whole planets. a REAL war.

could be the lack of buffs on you, and debuffs on the boss, which dont exist when attacking the training dummy.

NO Rail Shots Ever is better imho call it the NORSEman spec, in honor of this great film

nice

so basically up until a day ago ranked wz's were a go. there is no way they didnt know well in advance, or at least a week or two, that this aspect wouldnt be ready for the patch. yes, they left it in the notes to make players think they were still in. as a customer, use that information however you see fit.

im only slightly less durable in dps pve gear than tank specced and pvp gear (that is, when blowing cooldowns) fact is without blowing cooldowns and/or someone spamming heals on you, you'll drop nearly as fast as anyone else if focused. one on one might last longer. if you want to guard and stand next to your healer all the time though, its great.

once you start adding fair amounts of new content, no longer a new release.1.2 is the first major patch imo, so once that hits. definitely no longer than 6 months in any event

server went from 130+ on fleet to 80-90 the last week, roughly coinciding to when 3 month subs ran out. it seems unlikely that near a third of the server decide to reroll all at once. idk about only 10 servers, but transfers/mergers will be here soon, that is if this arrogant group can admit its needed.

no, an apology is not needed just quit the dismissive attitude

wonder how much each stack will add to shields. gonna be hot hot hot spamming FB for aoe tanking.

does make you wonder how they didnt forsee the possibility during the years of development time. as always, players are far more creative than devs

looks like the improvement to AP is to make a railshot crit as close to guaranteed as possible (it SHOULD proc if it becomes available at any time, and you just have to wait for the 6 sec cooldown to use), by making the proc work off of dots. so 21 AP, 18 pyro, will be the new 'parakeet', while using CGC because they apparently really dont want tank/dps hybrids. the 6 sec cooldown on the proc is an attempt to balance it. but yeah on tis own AP still doesnt have a lot going for it.

leveled exclusively as ST with mako. no issues ever. of course many combinations are viable. the supreme guard healers, i had her cc one, and burned/interrupted the other myself. very easy. of course the first 2 attempts i just tried to bull my way through it and got frustrated. quell, the dart stun, back up a few steps and jet charge, etc.

thats very odd, ive respecced numerous times when the cost was 99k, and never had it go beyond that number. in fact im pretty sure thats the cap.

i agree with your general sentiment, but you are off base at the end. 'WoWers' would love nothing more than sink hours on end into a game. its the anti WoW, anti raid, anti "hardcore", tiered gear, etc., that are averse to any sort of time commitment. now, many people have come from wow and want a break from the 'hardcore' play, but thats a bit of a different discussion.

not the point, really. if he wants to put vendor trash on th GTN thats his business. and its actually easy to get beyond 50 items, if you try to sell single consumables, craft materials, mods that you buy from commendations, etc.

its not like you have to try...

gmt -8 is correct. reset 12 noon gmt

im gonna assume it shares the 4.5 second limit with other items that have 4.5 second limts, i.e. you will never get the effect more than once every 4.5 seconds, no matter how many of these items you equip. now perhaps you up the chances of it happening every 4.5 seconds, and whther thats worth it is another matetr.
