its the waste of ep rather then the 6%, it was bad enough when it was changed from 2%

just need to work out who to bet on tbh, with the draw now done, it could see some interested quater finals to mess up predicitons... also im low od nic and really really want to buy a gropho mk2 seeing as no nice person will buy build for me and let me buy it

as nice as it woud be to have this resolved and everyone be happy its not going to happen. I have come to accept that i dont like the shield bonus with my playstyle and i will build around it instead. [having a 5.xs cycle time on launchers and 5 on shield is stupid mircomanagement imo] But this isnt going to get changed.

If ALF really thought it needed changing or our input he would of said something by now as its been forever people have complained about this. and the only time things changed weas when the waspish shield bonus became a accumulator recharge bonus instead.

Doesnt that really say something about how useless this who discussion is. we know we dont like it but we are going to have to live with it basically.

i want pictures of destoryers, hehe

i believe it, im at 536,640 + 35,509 EP

Well tbh i think AC should start a bi-annual tourny, Make it a big thing. As much as i dont like the thought that this is unbalanced in favor of big corps,  dont see why it should be abandoned just because of that [or nerfed in some way]. Its a chance for the PvP'er to really show there skills and expo one of Perpetuums greatest strengths as a game the freedom of builds and pvp, teamwork.

Obviously I hope that the PVE event match up in "fun" and "interest" to these as not everyone is going to be able to take part or want to to be involved in PvP [anothre great thing about the game].

But also 2nd and 3rd prize ned to be switched around to stop the sandbaging to win 3rd over 2nd.. i mean 2 prize is great an all but 10 mk2 is nothing to the value of 10 p4t's with 10 lv 10 decoders, 1 good p4t and a lv10 decoder could buy all of 2nd prize lol

lol what ep count??

basically team 1 vs team 2, and whoever wins goes to the next round the losers are out. No second chance, no scoring on rematches just eliminated from the tournament

this has been talked about long long long ago back in the beta. Because a purely pvp bonus mixed in with cycle time mismatching because of extensions/tunings means shield is stupid/impractical in most setups on it was ignored.

This is because as a gropho is basically a larger waspish its natural bonus should be a range bonus. This is seen as OP on the gropho and any other bonus would equally be pretty much useless so it was just left alone.

Still i feel its a uttter waste of bonus space and would prefer a nerfed 2-3% to missile range on it instead of the 5%/ext.lvl

Either way i dont think anything is going to be done about it, atleast anytime soon ALF has his spreadsheets of numbers that he won't adjust unless he has to and thats what we have to accept.

23 wood elf, archer/sneak/alchmey/smith/enchanter though im sure something is broken in my game with lvling.

My random ocd nature means i havent done much main story as i try to complete everything i find in one area at a time, so i have some 26 words from 14 shouts, and 30 dragons killed in my adventuring.

Being an acher/alchemist tho dragons are a bit of a let down as using a decent enchanted elven bow with my 80+ archery + one of the very nasty posions i can make means a shot to the face on a Blood dragon means can take it down in 1[shot'd 1 so far] to 5 arrows. its sad that the dragon priests are tougher.


Still great game tho.

Just out of intrest with increase in Shader model coming in, I just wondering how many people would be interested in having a Hi-Res client.

Not saying anything is wrong with current textures but with systems as they are the potential to boost graphics with a re-sampling of the current textures I think would be nice. At least as an option with improved:

- Bot
- Landscape
- Water
- Vegetation
- Structions

I know its not just a straight forward thing to re-sample some of the textures but would be nice by 2nd aniversary to have a HD Client.

*cries*  Wheres my loot, im missing out all the fun, also smokey send me some kernel soup greens please ^_^ you know you want to.

Yes go us Founding Agents and our 570K~ ep lol. Just sad i missed alot of game time due to illness been a crap year for me ...[notes going back to hospital on the 24th] so i havent had the chance to unlock all the t4's i  should of by now >_<... guess i should join a real corp now and leave my solo corp lol.

Edit : Also I hope ALF will be ready to let those destoryers and the hybrid bot system out of balance testing sometime soon, Also just as a side note a HD texture client would be epic still lol.

i did it with geoscanner, on my combat and indy. found that it was just faster to run about doing those for rep [ignoring cash flow] then anything else because of the speed of a bones scanner fit

ok so its decided then then that haulers are fine as they are.

o so basically the resources arent released fast enough is all then

hmm i feel the storyline thing might be a half truth. The way I have seen things after reading the site like a year ago or whenever it was, We are here to get a foothold and secure the inital area ready for the tech to be put in place for us to get ready for the next phase, the transfer of energy.

As such i dont see how any storyline can be put in that wouldnt then need features to go along with that. something i see as more of a annual/6-month update feature with leaps in the plotline and feature associated with it being put in place.

tbh i think its just something that could be specific to that guys system. As i run 2 clients, and the only problems i have ever run into was a deployment issue way back at LIVE launch day, but CRM and I sorted that out in some unconventional way and it hasnt reoccured.

This is why i asked about the anti-virus, there may also be another thing causing it, otherwise i would of expected many more posts on this from people.;

The total ep counts would be nice, i think that right now only those of use using perpplanner have good idea on this. But Sure some breakdowns ingame would be nice.

As im a numbers person i like all that sort of info. Like how much i have in X Extension tree, % of my total ep, total ep and this can lead to other things like charts and what not.

Oh and is it me or is the infographic site down did someone forget to feed gargaj and his wheel stopped.

Well all things being equally i shoould have all my work finally sorted tomorrow and can get back in game and test all this out, rather then just seeing the fallout on the forums like i have for the past 2 weeks. Seems that people are a bit all over theplace when it comes to how this should be handled but for one thing i know i wouldnt want free accounts being able to horde up light bots to trade/sell into the main economy. But also that i dont feel its fair to gimp peoples starting postion in a way that the first thing they experience is a horrible rep grind, putting them off doing anything else or completing there trial for that matter.

But its hard to find some sort of balance without a few more changes like :
- keep the training missions as they were but make the modules nonsellable, along with the lightbots that you get.  This would mean you are still handing out 5-600k in stuff but it has on NIC value it is only good for generating more NIC/rep/gameplay. This keeps training mission rewards out of the economy and production cycle, without nerfing the use of the rewards to real players, only those that would want to profiteer[farms/multi-accounts]

-Will try to think of more later lol

Sorry to unearth this old thread but several things written here are pretty interesting.

Our game have now two haulers : the old Sequer (assault, 80u cargo) and its big brother Lithus (heavy mech, 240u).

You need to save your EP during more than one month to be able to drive a Lithus, assuming that you are already driving a Sequer. It's pretty long !

Perhaps an hauler of mech size is missing between Sequer and Lithus ?

so a mech hauler with 160U capacity seems to fit in there.
