Aha, so I have to be in the guild a week before it counts? All the guilds I was in hit their guild target, but I wasn't aware of the one week limit.

I started playing again last week after a 2 year absence. Got back into the guilds I had been in previously and did my 50K conquest points for each character (12 characters). As I achieved my 50K points I received my personal conquest rewards. I was expecting to get my guild rewards when I logged in this morning and did get it on one character, but not on any others. Is this how it works? I thought I would get the reward for every character in a guild and was looking forward to getting 500 tech fragments times 12 characters.

I decided to resubscribe for one month to check out the changes. I have a bunch of level 70s. My mains were MM GS, Concealment Operative, Arsenal Merc, Infiltration Shadow, and Balance Sage. I am planning to focus on one character for the next month to learn the new system. I generally do dailys and some unranked PVP. Any suggestion on the easiest class to move through the new gearing system?

City of Heroes at 9 and DCUO at 8 is ridiculous. CoH to me personally is #1, SWTOR #2, ESO #3, FFXIV #4, and WOW #5. Even without my bias I would think CoH is in the top 5. I wouldn't have DCUO in the top 10. SWTOR is the closest to CoH to me, but is missing many basic features that CoH had. To be fair, SWTOR has features that CoH did not have (example: PVP is much better).

City of Heroes had community managers that engaged with the Community. They actually listened and reacted to the feedback. Shocking, I know!

Is it possible to get up there without cheating?

I agree with all your points. I am starting to see a slow down on pops for Ossus content. They need to spread the crystals to other content.

True, I am looking for the mask part of the set.

On the loading screen there is a group of pubs on the left and imps on the right. On the pub side (left) at the far right of the group is what looks like a Jedi wearing a bandit mask covering the bottom half of his face. Does anyone know if that armor is in game and, if so, what set?

We know why... Extend the grind...

I'm not hyperventilating over it. It is much easier to get my characters to 252 than it was to get them to 248, since I don't do Ops. As a matter of fact, I had 2 characters in full 248 previously (through GC and PVP UC) and I have about 15 in 252. I just think that is poor design to continually change the gearing system. It makes more sense to me to expand on existing systems. Maybe have Ops drop a Masterwork crystal. Maybe expand GC to 400 or 500 and have random drops of 252 (400) or 258 (500). It just seems switching it to Ossus weekly missions is poor design.

Now that BIS gear is based on Ossus weekly missions and the Hive boss, what is the point of the other Ops? The gear you get from the other Ops cannot be upgraded, right?

Do you have build recommendations for these ships?

In my scenario of using Expertise as an innate stat the gear would provide no value in WZs. You could go in with no gear on and your strength would be based on the innate stat.

I would suggest that Expertise should be an innate stat like Presence. Maybe make it a 1 to 100 based on Valor rank, so it is capped. Or use some other measurement that can be earned by PVP.

When is the determination made for what gear you get? If I have a Madness Sage and I get the loot box for the Ossus weekly, is the gear determined when I complete the mission, select the type of crate, or when I open the actual crate? I was thinking I would just start storing these crates in my inventory for awhile and when I have several I can switch to Seer and get Healing gear for when I swap specs.

Completely agree! Each currency should be able to be converted to another (example copper to silver to gold to platinum).

On another note, when is the determination made for what gear you get? If I have a Madness Sage and I get the loot box for the weekly, is the gear determined when I complete the mission or when I open the crate? I was thinking I would just start storing these crates in my inventory for awhile and when I have several I can switch to Seer and get Healing gear for when I swap specs.

Glad you like it! I also like it, but for me City of Heroes was the best MMO ever.

How about just get rid of ranked completely? Have new items on the PVP vendor every 3 to 6 months and let players buy those things with UCs. The ranked player base is small and toxic. No need to cater to them at all.

One time only is my understanding.

I like the new crystal system because you are not completely dependent on RNG. That being said, I would like to see the ability to gain crystals through the various Weekly content as opposed to just Ossus. You might have to increase the cost of equipment, but you would be able to gain crystals doing what you like.

I would suggest just removing the ability to hit PCs or Companions altogether. Let people playing the Life Day Event target NPCs.

I agree. I have some unguilded characters that I do the Ossus daileys on and I don't want them getting Conquest points I need for other characters in guilds. Let m choose, please.

Just fixing this issue and let them use blaster rifles for all abilities would be a huge step forward...
