midnightclimax posted:BTW, if a passive for AR talks about "every time you hit, you gain XY", does this also apply to every other weapon? IE can I use passives from weapons I haven't equipped, because they seem cool? You can use passives from any weapon tree, mix and match at will. Just make sure the tooltip matches your build. If it specifies that it triggers on Strikes, make sure you have a Strike active that will proc the passive.

Thanks to Killsion, Orcane, HughGRect, and Platbeard for doing a run of 18/18 Master Planner with two healers. Pulling 20-30 mobs at a time in Darkness Wars was hilarious.

Frankenstein Dad posted:Blood healing is what's really in need of attention. It can't stand up to fist or assault rifle at all. Outside of Slaughterhouse or abusing Cold Blooded to pull aggro, it's well below par for anything other than supplementing a poorly geared fist healer. And pistol does a better job of that, anyway. I agree completely. I've tried to set up a nice blood build on several occasions and I just prefer to use Pistol (or Shotgun, if it's needed for a dungeon) along with Fist. Also, a couple of leeches in Pistol would be nice. I like leech healing now that I've started doing it, but you are locked into a couple of set AR abilities.

Cheston posted:Okay, the Elite Solo difficulty is downright pleasant in 10.4.4+ gear. I had 12/12 survivors and completed a bonus objective, got 5 Aurei from looting bosses and 15 from getting Platinum on the scoreboard. So, for anyone who's been doing Nightmares, you literally do only have to do four scenarios to get the Tokyo certification. I think you have the magic touch, Cheston. I'm not a good DPS by any means, but I keep going from 10 or so survivors by wave 3 to 0 when twenty mobs and/or a boss converge on two points at once and wipe the map. I think Orcane and Rasheed have had some of the same issues.

orcane posted:There's some randomness to the scenarios, you don't always get the same types of mobs and bosses. Some of the combinations are just way harder, eg. when you get the especially hard hitting mobs, or if a filth bomb disables your fastest way between defensive camps. Mines could help but Rasheed and me were underwhelmed by them in castle/elite/duo. Yeah, mines haven't done poo poo for me either, and they can damage friendlies, I believe.

Cleretic posted:I've only done one so far, but I think the main issue with scenarios right now is that nothing is really clear or explained. Can't really heal the survivors, and you're wasting your time by trying, but that's never said! It's very AoE focused, but nothing indicates that, either! That's pretty much my take on it trying solo. Also I have 6 green augments (2 each of 3 different types) and I'm still not sure how the hell to use them. EDIT: 80 Oreos for some Pax and a phone call.

Cleretic posted:Except the thing is they don't. Maybe harder ones, sure, but so far I've been having fun. It requires some very different strategies to the rest of the game, but that's not a bad thing. If new content requires you to stretch into those weird esoteric corners of character building to excel, then it hasn't failed on one front; it's succeeded on two. I really don't mind the groups. The solos are irritating me, though.

I'm up for chumping nightmare solos if we've figured out how to make it work. The grouping seemed buggy last time. EDIT: Does everyone have to give themselves the quest and then go into the room as a group?

Cheston posted:This is not true. Since I'm apparently the only person who's actually tried Nightmare Solo... solo, having more than one person in Nightmare Solo mode completely messes up the scaling. With two people, there were twice as many mobs. I expect it gets more and more exaggerated. The only time I noticed a surplus of mobs was when we were using the method to draw aggro in the hotel. The mobs were flat out ridiculous. In the mansion and castle? Not really. Some 'spawns' were one or two guys at most.

"Due to a previous issue with nightmare scenarios, all [Solo Nightmare] achievements awarded before November 14th have been removed from all players." gently caress you, Funcom. Achievements are gone, flame gloves are gone, etc. EDIT: -Scenario wave 1 and wave 2 bosses will no longer have a chance to drop epic or heroic unattuned augments, they will instead drop more often from wave 3 bosses. -Group scenario monsters have a bit more health. And supposedly they fixed the issue of monsters ignoring aggro, but who wants to bet on that. Zhaan fucked around with this message at 22:52 on Nov 21, 2013 |

So I reinstalled my client (again) in the new directory Funcom support told me to. Game works instead of blackscreening again, but I went to do a pubbie 18 and couldn't see the purple drops from the bosses until I reloaded my ui. So uh, I guess I'm only doing elite groups with goons if I want any shot with augments. Lost rolls on a purple and four greens yesterday in a pub group.

The doubled AP on the other hand, gave me about 350 AP from an elite group scenario run with the milkshake on, so that was amusing.

I got over 700 AP from doing three scenarios. Just the weekend AP boost and the accelerator got me 400+. I attuned like five whole augments. It's pretty silly.

It also would have been nice to hear from Tech Support that they expected this issue might be fixed in the next patch instead of keeping me on the edge of my seat for four days trying out their solutions. I also ran TSW in a bunch of resolutions and the issue still continued. I just run it normally in a smaller window since I'm multitasking. But it's fixed now. Presumably.

I was hoping that they would have fixed it since they mentioned nixxing several crash bugs (like the sandstorm one which seemed to have got a lot of people). I drop to two frames per second regularly on Castle and have no idea why. The others don't do it, with the exception of the sandstorm on Hotel Nightmare which is atrocious anyway.

But I'm not guaranteed bullion running around with pubbies when a 'fast/exp group' fucks up on the first boss of Polaris.

I'm confused by pubbies giving me 'expert' healing advice when they haven't died once with me leeching on an 18s run. It's not even a get a better build rhetoric, which is confusing. They want me to overheal them more and draw more aggro? Maybe sometime I'll put a ton of aggro-drawing passives on and see how long it takes them to quit.
