Not to be rude really but what!!! The Tada-O gate raid was never removed. If you got 1 shot with a lvl 9 shield then what is the point of a TT when there would be nothing to recharge. you would be dead. JD's did pull for buffs and to help save anyone who was about to die. but also some did fight i know because i had a JD and did manage to hang in. How you would take damage was from many mobs hitting at once not a solo 61 1 shotting you. FB raid could be done with about 5 groups 6 was better but it could be done with 5 Tada-O could be done with 3 groups. Was a pain but could be done. Static did this many time before there was a public uprising and we had to share the gate. No matter how it was in live though fact is that the number really are not there for this raid to be full scale. lets do some math 250 avg for the server about what 50 to 60 of those are max out of those lets say 55 about 30 are dual boxing witch leave maybe 2 or 3 groups non-dual boxing now add in time zones for them to be on and want to take damage on there uber accounts witch mean to me at least raid need to be scaled down to were say 110ish or higher account can help out in some way so you can get numbers to them. i'm in no way saying my number are right just guessing. to me having a chance at uber gear at this stage keeps the game and testing fun. once the wipes are gone then it can be scaled up as needed. plus the amount of damage you take to items really needs to be tweaked 6% loss from one death to any item is nuts. in live i died a ton learning how to take down the controler. i think i may have lost about 6% between all items added together and that was over mayber 50+ deaths.

true i know this was patched i was using this as a refrance to how hard the mobs hit and could be kited out.. also yes again about the FB but even a JE could take a few hits before death. as it is now it is a 1 shot deal. All i'm saying is with the amount of people on uping the boss mobs to this lvl of damage is too much they never hit this hard in live. the best way to solve this would be to make it more like live and group a good amount of minion around the boss and give it summon from like 5k and give the minions speed so the can no be kitted. lower the damange down and let the 7 or so minions do there job of ganging up like they us to. to kill would not take to much like 3 full groups of 150's but you would not be able to do it solo. also on a side note Deasha the plauge never had shield recharge and was always able to be soloed even at lower lvl. infact i even remember there were 3 spawn points for him. PB was not that rare of a drop same with reaver. Just wondering why this boss was edited to be harder. Dev's really not bashing anyone here just asking questions and trying to give insite to what i can remember so far thanks for the info you have given. As i always say you will never know anything is wrong if no one says anything.

Static could and had done tado gate with about 3 groups easy and i rarely died doing this with JD PW or Te class. but that was also with a 100k players on the server.

Yes i go into talking about the harvey event but that is only because all mobs for both harvy and FB are currently grouped in together and should be split but that is somthing that can happen down the road. As for me currently being 122 and going in. There were lots of people that helped with the gate lvl 100+ in live. I had done it many times and i had never been 1 shot killed. The gate was not hard to do and the mobs were not that hard. The big thing was that you had soo many spawn at once that they would overwelm you if you did not kill the spawns fast enough. 1 v 1 they were no harder then any other mob other then the bosses had more shield. Had they all been able to 1 shot lvl 8 shields and hull then there would be no way to take it down. I do not beleave 150 would be that much differnt after talking to lots of others that were 150 and killed. JD's JE's, JT's would not have a shot in heck to live seeing as how at 122 i already have more hall and shields then them plus damage control. As for my question i don't think that it is really possable to take down mobs in the FB. Raids in live were my life. Static was the best raiding guild out there. we were the 1st to take down pretty much everthing and at the current state of things the FB is nothing more then a death trap. The item damage rates are so muffed up that even if you did manage to kill a few mobs here and there your items would loose half there %. I too would love to see it how it was in live but as it is it's no were close. I feel that yes there needed to be some changes but to force grouping and make the mobs so hard you don't stand a chance is too much. lower drop rates or group up bosses with minions to mak it harder. just my 2 cent ps yes in live you could solo mobs from the gate by kiting them.

not true well at least the stuf about live. You could solo the gate. if you had a TE or TT that had a low sig and could get in range to pull the mob. I know because i did this many times before people found they could tank the gate with enough people. Heck if you had a low enough sig a te could sit and kill without kiting the mob why a JD would looted.

Just wondering. I went into the fishbowl today and wow found that it was crazy hard I had heard the talk about it, but never went in to see how bad. I have a lvl 122 PW lvl 8 shields full damage control, Ivory ward. In other words i should be able to hang in some shiz. Anyway i found that i was 1 shot from a lvl 61 from like 6 k away. this is nuts. This would mean any Jennie would be 1 shot easy everytime. I would like to know if this is going to be changed anytime soon. I can see making some changes to make it a little more hard but come on. Change the drop rates. leave the range on but lower the damage back to what it was so they can't be kited. Give them more shields. anything but this. Also i would like to point out that what made the gate somewhat hard was not the damage or range the fish had but was the fact they spawned in like 6 to 8 mobs and 1 boss all at the same time. if you did not kill off the 1st wave the next wave spawned anyway. if you were unable to do it you would see 50 fish floating around. To fix this raid should not be hard and should make for a good stress test in itself. Kill harvey triggers fish to spawn in waves if the waves of mobs are not cleared in X amount of time the gate despawns. Rant off Now my question. Has anyone been able to kill a mob in the fishbowl????? my guess is no. If my pw can be 1 shot then that tells me even with lvl 9 shields 1 shot will get into my hull 2 will kill and other classes not made to tank will get 1 shot. This is based on a 61 not even a 66.

i do have to ask this question. If the point was to make rare items mean more (witch i Totaly agree with. why not change drop rates instead of closing of the fishbowl to lvl 150 chars and making drops like PB reaver a boos that takes a group to kill when in live was easy to solo even then. 150 to the fishbowl seems a little much. i could have lvl 9 weapons as early as 110 120 ish now i can gear up till 150. besides that the server is avg about 200 people on i would say a good amount of those 200 are dual boxing. witch would put us at about 125 or less. out of those how many are 150 maybe 50 now how many are on at the same time 25ish. for this kind of content the numbers just are not there. Plus the point is to stress test well how can you test when there are not enough people to take on what you are wanting tested. it just will not work. i'm not ranting really just stating facts a good fix to the rare item issue is to lower drop rates. sry for the bad grammer i'm at work and rushing to post this lol

correct ty

lol you keep fixing it and will keep breaking it.

Note the topic SERVER STATUS This is LOGIN SERVER these are 2 differt things. they both can be up or down one can be up and one down like now. When i posted this the server had just been up for 5 min so i did not want this to be misteaken for the last down seeing as how the Game server was up and login was down. Hope i cleared this up. FYI sorry if i sound harsh just having a bad day and i'm sick. not pun intended

title says it all. and yes i do know what i'm doing before anyone tells me things like " check local cert" lol

OMG PLEASE "No ROLLBACKS OR WIPES" I have been here from the start yes the start. I was her the day this was started with Razor and helped build the dev teams crack packet keys and much more. We just had a wipe not that long ago and i'm still tring to build up my char again. He is only 105. I love this game and i love testing but i also love to play. Between life and testing i do not have the time to keep grinding up char's and in fact it gets fustrating. I know this is all part of getting to were they need to be, but i for one would like to have a chance to get my char to max and get the items that count "lvl 9". if this does result in a wipe i think there are alot of people out there that might call it quits till we get to a more soild state and are not having wpes every month. It was not so back on ST3 because of the xp boost but now it is a pain.

WOW did not know they changed this. this needs to go back to the way it was. this is why you have the register button. as for self destuct. you should take xp debt and a posable loss of % on items.

i had you reinstall windows since my windows 7 was going to run out and after i got everything installed server said it is off line i am wondering if it is just me or is it really down. it is now 4:57 est please let me know.

not true do trade runs till 50 then do combat till 50 then keep doing trade runs or combat to level explore up. I did it on my TE and it took me about 3 to 4 weeks. also you can get to eplore 25 just from finding all navs so it's not that hard.

I don't know about you but i hate the placement of the 5th weapon mount. I would love to see this changed to maybe the bottom middle or even top middle just not hanging of the right side of the frontwindow . just does not seem balanced

Turn the Server back on or the duck gets it

ah no harm no foul it's a game were all grown up now lol (god it seems like were all old lol) hope to see you in space Stoop =)

Just wondering if there are any plains on getting any mordana into ST4. seems so dead in that area of space. plus it would be nice to get some new loot in the game. just checking ty

Great Post. i'm sorry but this is not a "The Carebears" game your not playing hello "Kitty Island Adventure" I'm not one to warp in and say get off the nav and start taking it all but on a boss??? It's all fair game. Infact to me people that KS made the game fun for me in live and this is why. You get peeved the fight back. That does not work you call in guild. They call theres you warp to the mobs asap and it leaves you with a since of exietment. It's just a game. Heck i Remember battling over navs in live just to group with that person a few min later to take on someone tring to out do us both. The gate wars were the best. everyone around hitting the gate and crossing your figures you got the kill. somtimes you did otheres you did not. but it made it that much better when you did. In closing. it's a game not real life play it don't live it.

OMFG that is some funny stuff. I started losing it at work +1

50+

I have nothing that pops up for reg with EA that i have to cancel out off for reg. I go strait to login screen. Also i have not edited anything to make this happen. can you post a SS of this reg screen?

Were still looking and were gaining numbers fast Good grouping and Mob boss ganking. lol. Just ask any static member to join. or PST me on Sydokun.

VERY WELL SAID.
