  1. I play on 3 PC's the 20" monitor I play in window mode. I like window mode because I can switch between apps (Slayerman's data, My favorite galaxy map and Team Speak). When I'm building or looking for something to kill I like leaving Slayerman's open so I can easyly check my comps or mobs. When starting a new char its too easy just to move the cursor off the game to my needed Map to find out where my nearest NAV, asteroid or moon is or if free Warpping becomes necessary. When I'm on TS (although I have not been in a while as Evermore stated ) Its nice to see who just entered or who is talking. I am somewhat of a solo player tester if you will. Multiple clients ? Are you saying on one PC ? Or On one LAN ? I have played on 3 PC's at the same time and experienced the chopping action. For some reason although I can't conferm now it seems to happen more when I free warp and / or when we're close to the sector edge. I noticed that some of the Moons and planets are not registering the distance to warp to correctly. At 46.00k I have not been able to warp to some planets to get the explore XP. (error to close to warp) My connection info Gigabit LAN on very fast cable ISP. Ooops, forgot One of the PC's is wireless G low signal. Phorlaug...
  2. In live we had a full group hunting in ROC hunting for the Bully's. We got into a little trouble luckly we had a JE with max cloak, instantly we were all invisble to the Bully's. All due to the group cloak and the proper equipment. Untill you fully utilize and they get ALL the skills working as they should you'll never appreciate the Jenquai. I'd love to see a couple of new Jenquai friendly / only Projectile launchers especially for the Jseekers. (Boost PL range, PL skill, energy conservation, Recharge shields skill, Warp charge etc etc ) Jab jab hint. Back on the Conversation of weapons damage having Impact, plasma and chemical on the JSeekers damage scale would be great ! A New Line of PL geared toward the JS's skills would make playing the class more fun and give them a better range. PL for the JE and the sometimes small stacks would SK though. sorry off topic? Phorlaug..
  3. This is a good topic with lots of info to follow. I havn't used the jobs terminal in the EMU yet wasn't quite sure if they worked or was worth it. I remember dumping garbage, killing animals around navs and Beacons and launching communication satellites. I seem to vaguely remember something of a Jenquai Cloak mission / job (Cloak and observe). Where there Class specific jobs also, memory's not what it use to be? It could of been something to do with finding Ben Joseph thing ? Some of the Explore jobs (dumping garbage and launching satellites) had a bit of danger in them. I always thought they should have some combat xp thrown in with it maybe they did its been a long time. I'll have to hit a jobs terminal now Phorlaug..
  4. Yea, I use a few weapons that have 50 per stack ammo I wouldn't mind having larger stacks. It would be easy to say use beams But Character interaction and The base registration now comes into play in reguards to running out of ammo. Now your saying Whaaaa?? Currently, base registration happens when you dock or click Base Registar. IMO this needs to change. Why ? Character interaction (All classes all races) Use A JE or a JD (return to base) in your Group to WH you or Summon you and A JD to the nearest station weft now dock at the station get your ammo, use the JE's or JD's talent to get you back to your hunting grounds nearest Registered station or Weft. Registration should only happen when you want to register not when you dock. In real life your not going to go to a bordello and have it be called home. (Well some of you might) Use the talent of all the races decide what station or hunting grounds your going to use and Your done problem solved. Have you hugged a Jenquai today ? They do shower you know, its not a myth. Progens taste just as good as a good Jenpy does with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti. I know I know too much work, too much love and too much thought Lol Phorlaug...(JD)
  5. Lol Yuritau can I borrow your stapler?
  6. yes some can be. But the low level stuff would become un-noticed and not reported unless we had low level chars (us) from a wipe testing it. An example of this in ST2 or was it ST3 was The 1st 2 levels of the Jenquai JD cloak was missed labeled and the ability was better at its lower level and theres other things that wouldn't be seen unless there was low level chars doing the missions or skills. Sometimes things don't always get pushed to the play server as intended. The .zip is a report I gave to Kenu when I was a Beta, just a couple of other examples that wouldn't be known otherwise.

  7. Lets change the phrase "Kiting" to "Offensive Retreat" Kiting is an all class all race combat tactic (group or solo) especially if your a missile user. Kiting is also used I real life combat, Tanks, jeeps (uurr Humv's) with 60 cal. machine guns mounted moving at good speeds makes them a harder target to hit and at the same time trying to inflict damage. No one should be punished for using a well planned combat retreat If Kiting shouldn't be or isn't a legitimate combat tactic all engines should have the same combat / thrust speed and they should also do away with the Cat's Paw's devices. And hell we all know some times it's hard to find someone to group with and with someone that doesn't have the same loot item in mind. With all the people rushing to get to 150 there are not many casual low/mid level peep's that one could group with. BUT, There was one instance where kiting was a exploit put I can't remember what it was. (edit) In reply to Riia's post. (a friendly) IMO a player should always be able to have the ability to out run an NPC forward or backwards if a player can't they can and should upgrade their engine or device to be able to do so. If a player wants to use or waste a few skill points to do this so be it. Not sure if thats what changes are being considered or what your stating. Phorlaug..
  8. Hello all. Server wipe IMO. Cons. 1) Smaller player base. (some players are leaving and not returning) 2) Lower / lack of donations. (see donation goal) (no point to donate because they can't acquire their level or item) 3) Fustraited players. (an exploit would be a welcome thing to keep quite) 4) Less likely that a person would join a group(s) untill raids make it necessary. (more multiple accounts players are grouping with their alts for risks of not getting that item or level before the wipe) 5) Server over run with heavy armor heavy shielded characters. (this takes away from the true play nature that E&B was intended to be character interaction) 6) Erratic NPC spawn / drop locations from ST to ST. (Some of the NPC spawn that I have seen in ST2 are no longer there. What was good is now not so good. ) Pros. 1) Perfectly working Missions, jobs and NPC target spawns. (If the missions, jobs and skill advancements are done over and over again. they will get to the point of fixed and being done smoothly) 2) NPC Damage to Hit ratios fixed per NPC level. (No more 1 hit level 20's) 3) What should be rare drops will not drop as frequently as E&B was intended. (Blackbox m22 won't drop like common body parts or debris) 4) Grammer errors, talk trees and mission logs will be fixed. (Talk trees will make sense and mission logs will contain the critical necessary mission information so you can pick up where you left off with no issues !) 5) Black hold characters will be a more rare problem. (I don't know if some of you have noticed but, in ST 1-2 your BH char would require a GM to get your char back now they mysteriously land up in Net-7. Much better than waiting 2-3 to days to get your char back) 6) Item and skill buffs will work as they should. ( I can't wait to Have my Corona Borealis buffs working and my energy drain skill working properly) These are some of my concerns and those of the players that have voiced theirs but have not yet or are willing to post their opinions or fears. IMO if there needs to be a wipe let the players keep their build list, this would certainly take the sting out of a wipe while still having content tested. Yes Getting the PS Call forward working would be a big thing for us to use, I would love to do one or two during my chars advancement. But truthfully The ST3 wipe has taken some of the excitement of playing E&B again, and i'm sure it has for some of you's although you won't admit it. Its like reliving that infamous September day over and over again. When the anouncement of live (Permanent stable server) all of this will change. Phorlaug...
  9. I wouldn't write off the Jenquai in a Race War if I were you. We have nothing to lose in a race war most of you think we have already lost the battle. But I would pity the Progen or Terran Group if they lost to an all Jenquai group. They would never live it down. If the Leader of the Jenquai Group had his head on straight and ALL the Jenquai skills worked like they should and the Entire group would follow the plan of attack of divide and conquer the Jenqaui group could win the fight. I do know this the level of excitment would raise exponentially I'd want to be in that all Jenquai group. Its no secret about my PVP desires one PVP sector. There would have to be gate turrets to stop the "gateing kills" and "Flagged For PVP" (your option for PVP)would have to be implemented. In the original live version this would of never been possible the new races have now made it feasible. Jenqaui and always Jenquai. Phorlaug....
  10. At log in i'm getting: Phorlaug "You have been Temporarily banned" This may be due to my Beta Tag i'm guessing? Some more information, This is the Third account I have set up, on a Different Third E-mail address. The other two accounts I got onto the EMU just fine. (They DO NOT have Beta tags) All three accounts are on different PC's, on a Giga bit, Cable network no issues before. If the Beta Tag is the Issue remove the tag or GM contact me for my info to restore the Beta tag, I have run out of E-mail address. I would really like / need to keep the name "Phorlaug" Some help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you for your help. Phorlaug....
  11. No complaints here I'm actually looking forward to the wipe and testing it all again. I would like to make a few suggestions though. https://enb-emulator.com/index.php?/topic/773-end-of-st3/page__view__findpost__p__4640 To the players and EnB Community, I have spent the last few days organizing my infomation and account planning. This includes item drops, Maps, Mobs (personal logs), Skill point usage between characters and what Characters to make for 3 accounts. If you do this now or as soon as possible your leveling will go much more smoothly and far more quickly. I wouldn't think or complain much about who logs on first or how quickly to ST4, At some point those quick to level people are going to find that company of another player at their same level does not exist. Someone will suffer XP lose, and quite frankly wheres the Challenge in it. Kill Steal, don't do it! Your reputation and that of your guild's is at stake. If you see another player at a spot ask them for a group, or if they mind sharing. I have sometimes told a player in a PM when I arrived "I'll move on", Only to be invited to stay and share or group, and you'll be surprised that there are some very honorable players say to you, "No stay! its time I moved camp" Or hell ask "if you mind if I cleaned up" a lot of times theres something they don't want or can't loot (Unique) To the DEV's, Beta +, and Betas (to which I am one). ST2 (Yes ST2) was a very exciting time to play the EMU, it seemed to me that the placement and Mob(s) numbers were much more plentiful. This while making it Difficult also made it fun and forced a More player interaction (groups), it also alleviated the desire or need to Camp a single NAV. At that time there was a Mob / NAV combat progression, What I mean by this is:(example only) Glenn Nav 1 (CL 12-15 Mob), Glenn NAV 2 (CL 17-20) etc etc...The sector Menorb comes to mind. This was indeed very fun and made it a challenge I'll never forget. Watch how or where kite I would like to see or have (in ALL fairness) no one other than a HGM, GM or DEV able to create an item, and never ever create one for themselves that their obtained level didn't make the testing and use possible. There's something very satisfying knowing and seeing a DEV, GM or BETA+ looking for a group One last thing OPEN ALL THE SECTORS to everyone (Unless the sectors are not ready!).. If its too dangerous for anyone don't go there. In Closing. Get ready be prepaired and plan for ST4. Don't worry about the person that has the opportunity to play sooner or longer, its not all that. Don't Kill steal, word and reputation gets around on a small server MMORPG. 5%-10% More mobs, at first exploration will be difficult. No more slash commands for items, credits, levels, skills for anyone other than HGM, GM or DEV's. Open all sectors, stations and vendors for them (If they're ready, Including the DEV sectors). Thats just my view, opinion and suggestions Phorlaug........ a Player, and Long time community member . And for God sake if you need another gun or a heal(s) just ask. I have my Jseeker with me 80% of the time and I'm always looking for another friend and player.
  12. Well, I seem to remember something said about "DRONES". If you look at the Terminal builds - Devices you'll see a Drones Icon I believe as one of the builds. Now, with that being said can you imagine the Possibilities?! Levels accordingly 1) Make a Drone to pull aggro. 2) Or Make a Drone with Shield recharge. 3) Or make a Drone with a weapon of choice (There by being the JSeekers 5th weapon slot) 4) Or make a Drone with Reactor Optimazation. 5) Or Psionic Shield. etc etc etc. You can have only ONE Drone active (Device Slot) with ONLY ONE skill inherant of the JSeeker's skills at any one time. If a Drone is Destroyed its gone for good, untill you build another one or activate another one. GEEssH, I'd hate to code that ! Phorlaug...
