Apparently it wouldn't let my other account sign into the server because i had the installed version of discord open and signed in? I don't know. Code is hard.

That would do it; doesn't know which account to sign in with I imagine.

I'd remove your discord link so nobody gets confused which to join.

Of course it doesn't expire. Discord is loving awful and you are dumb to not give the rights to invite to channel out to anyone but yourself.

Good god I was just trying to talk to the people in the lair group Platbeard went and invited me to. Apparently asking goons to join CTS mumble is too much and I need to get into what all the cool kids are using nowadays which is IRC+Voice chat with horrible audio and extremely buggy interface. Gone are the days when I could just join a server, that was too loving convenient. Its gotta be invites with cross platform logins where the thing can't decide if it wants a client or to run in the browser.

Discord is garbage.

With mumble you just join the loving server. Its too loving easy. And you can understand everyone's voice because the goddam codec isn't poo poo. Goon CTS Mumble was made for this exact poo poo. 200 slots that someone else pays for to talk about trash games we play.

Discord is fairly easy to use, consolidates alot of functions and doesn't take up that many resources. Aside from Telegram/WhatsApp, it's the only thing in use between alot of my contacts.

It doesn't matter what people use except when they lock it down to the point of worthlessness out of some kind of paranoia.

Mumble was vastly superior, I agree. And more entertaining in a sense that goons werent shy to voice chat in general channel. Discord feels like a step backwards.

Discord has a jillion channels you never use plus two or three you use like say an IRC channel 15 or so years ago. It's loving garbage is what I'm saying.

Has anyone else had the issue of the login rewards windows not popping up? I rebooted, did the reloadui command and I'm still not getting the Event rewards window or the daily login rewards window showing up. Anyone have any ideas on what else I could try since if I have to file a petition, it's likely not going to get handled in time for the event box to the end of the event.

Discord is overwhelmingly the most popular choice among the people I game with. It's nice to have all of my chat across all games consolidated into one program. The players I game with who insist on some other program are split between Mumble, Ventrilo, and TeamSpeak and constantly bitch at each other and their other teammates trying to gain converts.

I had the daily reward not show up one day (I think I had started playing before the "new day" officially started), and I had to click the gift-box icon to get the reward. It worked for me.

I sure don't. It was one of my initial weapon picks for tanking but I found it way easier to use shotgun or hammer so I dropped it. I think it could use a boost.

Magus is the elemental/chaos one, right? They're not bad. I think I got all the way to 50 like that, and enjoyed it a lot more than an elementalism-based build in TSW.

Combat is pretty much the same except now you may have an annoying weapon gimmick to deal with. Ele is one of the less annoying ones though and can do a fuckton of damage if done right.

Clicked that and the login rewards in the menu first, even checked the delivered items thing too just in case before I did the reboot and reloadui. Not sure what happened but I ended up knocking out some Windows updates while browsing to see what others tried that had the same problem and after my reboot from the updates, everything popped up fine. :iiam:

I am using chaos but yes, I don't know how to use it. I just spam Distortion and Pandemonium when its off cooldown. The main upside of Chaos is that you don't have to pay attention to your GUI, it happens when it happens. There are engmas I guess but IDGAF. There are AOE attacks but they all feel so weak against everything that I only use the hate generating one on very rare occasions when I happen to be tanking in dungeons.

Pistol question: When using Unload+Holdout you have a 33% chance to not spin your chambers if you already have a match BUT the glowing color of the match still falls off the UI when the timer is up even if it does not spin the match away. You're still getting the damage bonus by keeping the chambers frozen that way, right?

Maybe this is obvious but I don't want to take it for granted. It's a little confusing with how it stops glowing.

So long as you pressed the button to use the pistol power before the chambers were no longer matched you're good and still get the damage bonus.

That's what some guy from funcom said somewhere (I forget where) and my experience (no parser) seems to generally support it.

Okay, good. Using Unload+Holdout I've seen chambers stay matched for a pretty drat long time. Had it go for 4 uses of Unload beyond the original match timer a bunch of times but not having it glow was troubling me.

I've actually taken to pistol quite well myself, though I do the goofy thing of using only the AoE powers and no roulette rigging skills because I like the randomness and I remembered hearing that AoE powers get some sort of inherent crit bonus.

Apparently it works like that for unload (skill damage calculated once and then just applied multiple times over) but not for things like All In (where different stages of the skill have different damage amounts and therefore different calculations)

Ah. I pretty much just use unload and the group heal + cleanse as support for my chaos focused build so I never took note of the pistol ultimates.

That makes All In significantly less compelling for a build trying to maximize matches if I understand correctly. I guess Trick Shot's guaranteed Expose probably makes up for the lost ability damage anyway.
