I mean I know it's more of a warrior gimmick but it makes more sense for medic innate to reset certain CDs, especially healing ones for general triage purposes.

Which I guess it does, in a way, with full actuators.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays Carbine just does short, one hour livestreams. I forget what each one is called. They're on around 10AM Pacific time. They're not crazy exciting or anything, they just played Strain content on this one and made bad jokes and then an ops guy came on and was like "yeah we hope to have a patch out tonight and we're working on getting the notes up prior to deploying it" or something. Seemed like it might be a big patch, and they could still get the no go from QA so we will see.

EDIT: I think they're not rolling it out proper until early Friday morning though, I don't think they'd disrupt primetime, but then again who knows.

Use two factor authentication

Don't cheat. (we've already kicked people for botting)

Don't do something Carbine would ban you for is a pretty good rule to live by in general.

If he honestly got banned and he did nothing wrong talking to support never hurts.

Complaining on SA about how you (or your friend) totally didn't do it and then revealing a day later "oh, i was hacked and my character was sending spam mails" isn't going to do you any good.

That's what he'll be doing. Sucks when the innocents get hit and its his only day off to play and now he has to wait for support. And if he was cheating pretty sure he wouldn't buy a credd for plat or be a higher level then 16 botting. But I gave no context so I don't blame the others for assuming.

Having enough plat to buy credd at level 16 is a bit suspicious. Not saying its impossible if he took advantage of the old Architect vendor prices or heavily played the AH but for reference on each character I got to 16 I was at around 10 gold total on each of them, barely enough for a mount.

Used RL money to buy it to sell for gold. (To dismiss the people accusing of gold buying). I wonder if they just blanket banned anyone without two factor auth. Anyone else in here without that get banned or are still around?

Ahh gotcha, misread it as he bought the Credd with plat. I put two factor auth on my account day one but I know of a couple other people that were hacked and banned before this round of bans and its because they didn't have 2 factor and someone was using their account to send gold selling spam. So it is possible he got hit with that as well.

Carbine isn't banning everyone who doesnt have two factor auth, holy poo poo. But the only people getting compromised are those without two factor.

Nope he gets an email every time he logs in and didn't get key logged (if you have half a brain about computers its not hard to not get keylogged). Just lazy about putting on two factor auth.

Edit: Do you think they will be quicker about unbanning the innocents versus getting a guild name changed?

Okay, so as a leveling Engineer (currently 15), what should I be... doing? I started the game thinking I was a dps class so I've accumulated mostly Brutality/Finesse/Moxie, but now I see most guides are for tank Engineers.

Does anyone have any good links for guides/videos/posts on Engineer strategy/combos/most effective builds? I'm mostly focused on PvE until I'm max level, if that makes a difference. I've tried Googling a few times now but the guides I find are generally pretty hard to understand or just bad.

The only class that can "easily" remove 4-5 stacks without seriously hamstringing their dps is Warrior which is getting looked at, though. Interrupts were supposed to be group syncing up one interrupt, not all dps being able to do it on their own.

Engineers can do 4 without too much trouble. Blind, T4 Zap, and Bruiser Bot active.

also, just opened up a boom box and got a level 50 epic gun :stare:

Brutality doesn't do a lot for Engineers, focus on Finesse then Moxie. Also Engineer reaches a slump around 15 where you feel you're doing no damage at all. It gets better again around 20 and takes off when you get your T4 Bio Shell at 25. Put your AMP points in Crit and AP, get Volatility Rising, then go down into Utility and pick up Reckless Dash so you can start a fight by dashing twice towards the enemy and fire off an instant Bio Shell to start the fight with 70 Volatility.

Granok eyebrow clipping issues aside, the Sawbones is kind of the best class in this game, thematically.



This guy knows what's up.

Also as fun as all the hyperbole is (I THINK CHALLENGES ARE DUMB - no, *I* think they are dumb!) Challenges are, most of the time, manageable and in many cases, fun. And the rewards after level 15 start to loving rock, Most of them will offer an appropriate level blue, and for those that don't pay attention, next time you do a challenge, notice the chat log when you complete it. You get cash for your completion - While questing in WhiteVale, when you get to the Terraformer? The race to get to the top of it can be completed in roughly 50 seconds, and rewards close to 1g 50s. Then the blue weapon (Which owns for its level) vendors for almost 1g 50s as well. So that is a gold level reward, for 50 seconds work, with 1.5gold guaranteed and another possible 1.5g from the weapon vendor. That you can do every 30 mins, and is a stones throw from most questing hubs. Sure you might scoff at the gold, but as a casual playing level 28 dude, that's mad bank for very little effort.

Honestly Challenges are just ye olde 'Daily Quest' distilled down to it's base components, and though some of them are a bit uninspired (CHALLENGE BEGINS! SLAP 200 BEAR ASSES!) I definitely love having them around.

For reference: The timer STARTS at 20 minutes.

Think they've said that anything addons do is okay, and they'll disable the function of addons being able to do that if it's a problem. The ZONE was basically a maphack to find other players, so... :v:

Anything that can be done with in-game addons is fine. They have confirmed this multiple times. If you are running something outside of the game, that is not fine.

To point you in a future direction, this is my soloing build at 50. Bruiser Bot gets dumped for Obstruct Vision when doing group DPS. Any more AMP or Ability points spent requires Elder Gems.

This bar has basically not changed since level 13, only point allocations have (I'm experimenting with T8 Electrocute in lieu of T8 Bio Shell now, in lieu of previous analysis post). Prioritize Electrocute, Artillery Bot, and Bio Shell T4s, then go from there as you level. At 21, you get access to Volatile Injection, which you can swap in for Zap (or Bruiser Bot when grouping) when you don't need it. At 30, you get your 8th slot open, so you can keep it on your bar always from that point onwards. It's amazing. Also, I would highly advise getting Cooldown Reduction 3 from AMPs on early Engineers (and most other classes). Your bots will not benefit from it, but it's worth it for 10s out of every 17s up time for Volatile Injection alone.

Also, it costs 50 loving gold to respec AMPs, so I've not been experimenting with AMPs at all. Rotations get a lot better when you can get Bio Shell to T4. Prior to T4, I would lead off fights with Bio Shell->Energy Auger->Electrocute. After T4, it's Energy Auger->instant Bio Shell->Electrocute.
