Would a 58 archon/18 pyro give the utility of archon with the dps boosts of pyro? That seems to be the happy medium between the 51 Archon and 58 Archon DPS-wise and while I was playing I never really found Dom to be too useful except for some trash pull CC.

It depends but I really can't think of much encounter-wise in the current tier that leans on an Archon for DPS, maybe if it makes the difference for some break points on Crucia or if you're struggling to meet Kain or Matriarch's enrage I guess. As for points in dominator, never underestimate the power of reflects (I have no idea what can and cannot be reflected aside from Abhorrent Grudge).

The "Currently in development" line makes me think it was the final nail for End of Nations. The f2p patch has a lot of stuff still in development, so I doubt very many were involved with Rift. If I had to guess, it's a combo of EoN, post launch layoffs for Defiance, and some warface/rift peeps.

Is there a point to keeping Inscribed Sourcestones past 50 now that I'm in SL? I just dumped some for Planarite so I could finally get Quantum Sight, but I've still got hundreds languishing.

So this is probably a dumb question but if im not subbed and want to get the expansion through raptr how do i do it?
I make a new account for a free trial and just play that for x hours then I can use the SL code on my unsubbed account?

Oh my glob. What the stuff are you doing?

I love Trion! I received the codes for a Toxic Hellbug mount and Phero hellbug companion pet. Apparently a day ago, Elrar sent me codes from a twitch.tv lottery back in April, and they had lost my name in the shortlist. The fact he personally followed up with me is awesome.

Thank you for this. I just started playing and this build has been way more fun than the random purpose I selected. The soul system is a bit overwhelming at first and leveling guides that start at 1 have been hard to find. Most of the guides on the official forums seem to be endgame builds or start at level 50.

You'll also have to download the Raptr client. I found it unintuitive to get the client to record the times I played RIFT because it didn't recognize it at first. Luckily, once you do get them both to work the Raptr client is good about telling you how long you've been playing the game and once you close the game it'll give you a report about how long you've been playing. You can also let the game time out and it'll still record your time so you can leave it running while you sleep or go out with friends. And you get a costume helm and shoulders as Raptr rewards in addition to the game and free time (if it's a new account).

I'm going to do some testing on Sunday to see what the DPS difference is. The CB proc from 51/20 gives a pretty big DPS boost, but the bullwark from 58 could offset it a bit.

lsp posted:

Archon or Trash dom should probably be doing this while the chloro uses charge for entropic veil--

Generally speaking, yeah. But in those trash pulls you're more worried about silencing than heals. I haven't put Dom into my archon spec for a while, but it would be nice to have a utility archon spec with it around. 2.3 realllly needs to come out so I can buy all the slots.

edit: Alternatively, I could just replace my Chloro and HarbiChloro roles with more archon specs... hmmm...

The layoffs are probably just standard "post launch" layoffs for defiance, even if the game does well you don't need as many people working on it after it's launched as before.

Yeah, Hartsman was on twitter being upset about how games are developed these days and offering help to those sacked. That would fit in with defiance, and not even necessarily Defiance's sales numbers. Someone said that she got 2 months full pay+severance package, which they wouldn't do if it was due to a disaster.

I downloaded this game along with raptr, but they're gonna run out of codes before I qualify. If anyone has a spare key I'd really appreciate it. My e-mail is dezlenaway(at)gmail(dot)com.

So is Planar Sentry any good? How about duelist?

Are those callings? don't pay attention to those, they are templates aimed to help out noobs. Tell us what class you are or just ask guild chat for specs.

They have before... many, many times. It's basically a way for early access to F2P.

With the f2p change, has the population risen enough to be able to support eurogoons again?

I quit last year because all European time friendly raids(US raids start at 3am for me) were cancelled after finals week because "nobody ever shows up for them anyway" despite having full groups every week except during finals and that kind of killed off the population.

So my moronic wife unlocked the game + expansion deal through raptr, and for whatever reason decided to simply not claim the reward... and.. oh look, now the rewards are gone, and she can't get a code... so... on the off chance someone happens to have spare codes that they aren't intending to use, let me know?

I can't get messages on here but if you wanna shoot me an email if you have a code to spare, email me here: phaon at citcmedia dot com

It's a minotaur race...

So I posted a thing about faction changes keeping your race on the official forums and a dev responded. Apparently they are adding new dialogue to at least one of the Chronicles (the Attunement one) that will be different if you are a convert from the opposite faction!

quote:

For what it is worth, the graduation chronicles will support the cross-faction races now, though all 3 will share new dialog per side. Or to be more clear - the intro and presentation speech that are tailored to each race - previously 3 paths - now have a 4th path, that of the cross-faction convert.

*edit* I should also note that the new lines do not have VO as of 2.3. VO requires a decent amount of lead time to set up in coordinating the voice actors time.

I said come in!

I decided to give this a shot again, since I've got an old account and decided I should use my free Storm Legion from buying Defiance before that is not a thing anymore. Going to try a mage this time, named Phallomancer, and I'll be begging for an invite soon!
