Crimson Theater makes me miss the old days of multi-hit proc/affliction builds. CT, in addition to hitting for tons of damage, also used to proc procs, on every hit, so did every shot of a multi-hit attack. Queue insanity.

My favourite thing about CT was all the clamouring that tanking with blade would be all but impossible if it got nerfed. Some people flat out refused to believe that it was broken.

Frankenstein Dad posted:My favourite thing about CT was all the clamouring that tanking with blade would be all but impossible if it got nerfed. Part of that is probably the fact that back then (maybe still) hate had no actual numerical value for players to track. People were probably assuming that they needed the extra damage from CT in order to actually generate aggro.

The devs ignored the CT move in beta for a long time after holding the pvp Stonehenge matches with us nailing them to the wall with one thors hammer. They submitted to the chaos that was there is just too many loving abilities. Go figure out how to gently caress up Agartha like the pros.

revenance posted:Cartwheels and infinite RnS were my favorite bugs still. Gimme details. In probably-unrelated news, is there another game that uses emotes and decorative character clothing as actual game-affecting things? In one of the Tyler Freeborn missions, you have to put on a gas mask, and you have to do this in the dressing room -- right-clicking on the quest item doesn't do anything. And in the bank heist mission, you have to emote your way past a few obstacles.

prefect posted:Gimme details. You used to be able to cartwheel though the lockout invisible wall when you die in a boss battle. It allowed you to cartwheel back into the fight after releasing. It was the only way you could clear one of the Hell Dungeon's for awhile due to the boss being impossibly tuned. Funcom later said the boss fight was fine because people were clearing it and not knowing we were all cartwheeling back into the fight to kill it. They fixed that poo poo later on. I forgot which boss it was called but it was the one where you drop into the room and there is two hell tyrants that are linked or something.

Is the smile emote still fuckered up? http://youtu.be/fLue6h3RI9U Reap and sew was bugged and the effect would never wear off the team. Good times, just like the days of dynamite! There was also hell fallens horrible scenery which allowed entire boss fights to be skipped. Can you still flush yourself down the toilet in Ankh?

Luckily, even the shitlordiest of shitlords are in 10.4/5.4/5 nowadays and you can outgear the encounter by vaporizing the djinn. Not that you would want to, because HF nets you 10 BB. Infinite RnS was also pretty much the only way Ankh (which is also only a 10 BB dungeon, wtf) could be cleared when it was launched, because you could run 4 DPS. I think a total of 2 goon permas cleared it legit before the mass exodus for GW2.

Good thing we played TSW and are prepared. The Filth has spread from the Tokyo subway to the Chicago one.KetTarma posted:Would it make me terrible if I filled the inner skill circle to try out all of the weapons before I start specializing in the ones I like? No, this is a solid idea. It's cheap and you'll want passives from all over anyway, and it makes it smoother to transition to a new weapon when you decide to.

MonsieurChoc posted:Just got this during the Steam sale. Having a lot fo fun so far. Any tips on a solo blade build? What's broken? If you grab a shotgun for your secondary weapon (can make a weapon of your choice in the "intro to crafting" mission available next to the biker dude standing off in the corner right of the ramp into the sheriff's office), you can make a pretty spiffy low-AP soloing build that will carry you through Kingsmouth and Savage Coast with little difficulty. Pull with Shotgun's Buckshot. Build weapon resources with 1-5x Blade Torrent. Unload resources with Blade's Balanced Blade and Shotgun's Out for a Kill. Use Breaching Shot to increase your damage and Martial Discipline to save your butt. Save Stunning Swirl (e) as your interrupt or to give breathing room in case of adds. Passives: Fists: Lick Your Wounds Shotguns: Hit & Run, Dead on Target Blades: Immortal Spirit, Sharp Blades, Regeneration, Fluid Defense (e) Total AP needed: 52 When fighting multiple enemies, try to have an unused Shotgun resource on your opponents when they die and kill the weakest enemies first, Shotgun has a passive that's really useful for those first two zones that triggers an AoE blast when something dies with 1+ SG resources on it. If you're fighting, for example, a pack of zombies and a lobsterman, you can deal a lot of damage to the lobster by knocking down the zombies like dominos. Also remember that while Blade's resources build on you, Shotgun's resources build on the target(s). If you're hitting packs with Blade Torrent, they're all getting SG resources on them. You can use Out for a Kill and Balanced Blade on your primary target, switch to a secondary target, and use Out for a Kill again once its 4 sec cooldown is up.

Shotguns are pretty ridiculous early-game. I went AR/shotgun on an alt and it's turned into shotgun/AR. Later, Elemental gets ridiculous, my solo build shits lightning and critical hits everywhere.

Do enemies generally just take forever to kill? I'm doing AOE Blade/AR right now in Savage Coast and, though I rarely die, it takes forever to kill most things.

Have you finished inner wheel Chaos Magic yet? Do that, then spend the extra 9 AP to get Breakdown. Anytime you (non-glancing) hit something with a blade attack, it'll get a stacking +3% debuff to damage taken.

Also, check your gear. Don't just grab all the high-HP stuff, you need some DPS gear mixed in. Also, make sure you've spent as many SP on the attack line of both of your weapons as you have. Ignore the other line until this one is maxed.
