When your loading your 2nd account, if the proxy says "TCP Listener port unable to bind to XXXX" And you hit "i accept" in the TOS window anyways, the toon you log in on will spam the login. Tested and Proven.

The last change to faction as i remember it was. You only got a faction change if you did dmg to a mob, or you healed/buffed the person killing the mob. In the intance of healing/buffed, it only affected the mobs attacking while the healing/debuffing was going on. The mobs had to see you heal/buff someone while they were activly attacking it. Cia

In live, ten-gu all had area grav-link. I remember this because if even one person in your group didnt reist the grav link, the whole group could not warp untill that person died, or the effect wore off, or they break form sacrificing themselfs so the rest of the group could get away Cia

Yes patch notes are wonderful, i made the suggestion about the grav well in lagarto having missing ore fields with manes still guarding empty space. When i first seen the lagarto update i went out and mined out 90% of the scorpian tail!! Was great xp, thanks for the update Cia

Skeletor, Makes perfect sence now, thanks for that. hehe Great logs Very vaulable info, to make hunting those ten-gu more fun. Thanks, Cia

Everything looked good in your logs Skele... but stacks of weapons? the logs of the skills the ten-gu look neat. Lets bring back some of those skills for sure. Thanks Skele

True but they have other damage types to choose from, so thats an easy thing to work around. hehe

What i remember from live... All Ten-gu had Grav Link Almost all had Rally Only boss minions and bosses had menace ALL ten-gu were immune to impact. If you made all ten-gu immune to impact, these current versions of ten-gu would be very close to live. Thanks, Cia

(devs post your feedback on my method, you may need to make it a little harder) Hello and thanks for reading my post. I have been taking a number of people to the FB (unknown galaxy) and showing them how its done. Now im getting alot of /t's from people asking me how their guilds can do them sucessfully. So here is a write up, on how to do the fishbowl for small guilds. This method is called the "Kite/DPS" method. Basicly you use one person (or one group) to kite and hold aggro while the other group/person, just dps the mob your fighting. For this Method you'll need atleast one person who can kite. TE/TT Perfered. Other race/classes can kite as well, but you'll need gear for that. To Kite in the FB you need atleast a 7km range with your weapons. Kiter's Setups: (this is assuming you have no ubers and are trying to get some) TE; 4x Zet ML/Bile ML (Plasma/Explosive) 1x Spite (Plasma/Explosive) Supernova 8 (boost missile range) or Lvl9 Model Z (boost missile range) TT; 3x Zet ML/Bile ML (Plasma/Explosive) 1x Spite (Plasma/Explosive) Supernova 8 (boost missile range) or Lvl 9 Model Z (boost missile range) DPS setup. Whatever they can fit. (if i run a multiple group, i take all the terrans into one group and put all the others into a group) The critical part of this method of running the fishbowl is staging. (quick run thru on how to use the map to help setup your engage points) -Open Map, Turn on the X/Y/Z Axis - The Z Axis is the one you want to pay attention too as, that tells you your altitude on the map. Most mobs are at Zero (0.00) on the Z Axis, so if your on +11 on the Z axis, and your directly over a mob, the mob should be 12-10km under you. Steps: 1) Prep Everyone - make sure they know what they are doing, and have the right gear set for the job. 2) Sort out the Loot Details. The Bosses have a short respawn timer, just a little longer than the life of the corpse. Have the loot details taken care of, so you can loot, and move out of range of the next spawn. 3) Locate the bosses you want to kill, and setup a pattern to follow. (i personally do it in this order (Master, Dark One, Xiamz-Ti, Master, Dark One, Xiamz-ti, Master, ect ect ect) For my pattern/route its, south of the gate (master), west of the gate (dark one), south west of the gate (xiamz-ti), than i fly east, and hit master again (south of the gate) 4) Park your DPS group 10-12km above the boss you want to kill. 5) Have your kiting group fly down and engage the boss. begin kiting the boss in a circle around him, and in a slightly elevating angle(the Z axis should move slowly upwards). Do not reverse kite. (Kite Group Leader, have your map Open, and watch the Z Axis. Pull the boss up to about 13-15 on the Z Axis (13-15km off 0) 6) Have your DPS group engage the Boss, once the boss hits 85% Health. This will ensure that the kiters have the aggro, and will be able to hold it for the duration of the kill. (IMPORTANT) 6a) If you have high DPS players in your DPS group, they will have to "PULSE" their weapons in order to not gain aggro from the mob your fighting. Example: PW's shoot for 5 seconds, stop shooting for 3 seconds, shoot for 5 seconds, stop shooting for 3 seconds. If you out dps the kiting group, the boss will turn around and unload on you. The reason behind all this staging, is because of the tons of cl 61 destroyers that float around inside the fishbowl. Rather than risk having them add while your fighting the boss, you can pull the boss up out of their scan range, and have a controlled fight. Using this method no one in your raid should die. I've done it hundreds of times now, without any complications. If you have any questions or anything post here i'll try to respond. I may or maynot respond to your /t in-game about this. Goodluck to everyone!! I'll still be in there farming master/dark one for the DG, but i am happy to take a sit and let you try them Hope this guide helps, Cia p.s. wtb: looted dg

Hey there! After they nerf'd the fishbowl mobs again, it is now possible to solo/small group kill the bosses again. I have been spending a great number of hours inside the fb farmimg them. I have been showing smaller guilds the tatics needed to kill the fb bosses. I took 3 members from your guild the other day to the FB and show'd them how to do the FB raids with just a small ammount of people. Not sure if you were one of them, but it was deffiantly some people from your guild. Your guild should be able to get it done. Please ask the other members of your guild to take you there, they should be able to do it. Lately i have been spaming market / new player chat with: "Looking for 1 or 2 people from small/inactive/noguild over lvl 100 - pst (not a recruitment)" Than the people who respond i take them to the FB and show them how to do it. My hopes in this is to get the poeple from smaller/no guilds the abilty to team up with other small/noguild poeple and run sucessfull raids. While im sorry you missed out on the fb i did for your guild, im sure they rememebr enuf for you to go out and do it sucessfully as a guild. Thanks, Cia

hey Giam, last night we all saw your "test" messages, you just gotta wait a little bit, and the game will come back. If that were in live, there'd be a little red telephone, and it would go away after a few moments. Usually the game comes right back and everything updates. The sync thing has gotten me killed more than once lol. Cia

Re-read what trapt posted Im pretty sure that stands for "thanks for adding your two cents to the conversation that you wernt part of"

Im all for it! but i dont have ml's that shoot more than 1 missile anymore lol

Yeah yeah, i know i know *looks at caster and nos* yup everything but the manuverbility *looks at lvl 8 bastion* ok its a pointless device.... but its an awesome device... if you dont have access to bbw gear, nos, and fb stuff its better than a lvl 8 cats paw

wtt: tac8 pst w/ your offer ... *doh* thanks aly lol

Confirmed; doritos may help explorers get you back into battle faster

Thanks for the info. As these 2 fields are well known (atleast i think they would be) i think its ok to let everyone know about them. Its the ones in the other systems that are going to be fun for them when they find them Cia

I was out and about today, and i seen some more ore fields. I'll list a few here to help you guys get started: (these are those astriod navs i spoke about in my OP) Xipe Topec: If you warp north West of the station, you will find 4 astriod navs with lvl 3-6 Rocks in abundance! Atleast 6 fields here. (clusters of rocks) Also to the east of these is a one lvl higher field. 4-6 (big ring of rocks) Glenn: lvl 5-9 Rocks, to find these warp from Saturn Gate -> Gate to Slayton, and Gate to Carp -> Gate to Swooping Eagle. Also if you warp north west from the station, you'll find a few more fields. (north east of the gate to saturn) -So that right there pretty much sums it up for easy to enjoy fields to mine in, for all lvl explorers. (there might be some job mobs floating around in glenn, but they are easy to avoid) Hope this helps some of you out! Cia

adding note about trade xp to my OP thanks

Lars, I dont care how you mine, or anyone else for that matter. Thats personal opinion. I just stated how i mine, and why i like the mining aspect of the game as it is. Too many negative threads about why people cant enjoy mining. I ENJOY MINING. And i do an awesome job at it. Thank you drive thru, Cia

Starting: should be fine <3 Tienbau

' mistergreen hit me up ingame, as you seem to be trying, i'll show you a palce where theres 3 lvl 7-9 fields, that overlap, no badies, and you can get 3 clear bonuses and a ton of ores

TS = progen reactor with shunt, sculptor/miner, power of the elements for you. no mobs, no need for defences....

Ok after reviewing alot of people's posts and replys to the many different ore whine/rant/cry/concern threads... i thought i'd post a positive one. Im not sure we are all playing the same game. I know alot of people are concerned with mobs in ore fields. There are plenty of ore fields of all levels that have no protection in them. If your a miner, im guessing lvl 50-100 this should would be be your equipment setup: (my miner is lvl 83 el36)(not enuf skillpoints to bump devices to 6) draco 6 / sculptor 5 / power of the elements 5 / antila 5 With this setup, i can either take my time (let my reactor recharge on its own) or i can shunt it with my antila. (instant full reactor at the expence of some shield energy) (have lvl 3 shield equiped cuz i never mine where theres anything to attack me, plus with shunting i have 0 shields the whole time im mining) With my setup i can pull 6 units of raw lvl 9 ores from a rock in 1 pull. than i can "antila" myself and have a full reactor to make another pull. Theres almsot no stop in the mining time. With this setup i make a wild roaming spree to the different ore fields. my je is only cl 20, has 1 lvl 2 beam equiped atm (never have to shoot anything) There are a ton of ore fields that do not have guardians, and there are a few fields that only have 1 or 2 guardians. Most of the "HIDDEN" lvl 8 and 9 ore fields dont have anything guarding them. I am a fan of the clear bonus as it dosent take long to mine all the rocks in any field. I space any ore thats not lvl 9. Everytime i return to base after a mining trip, i have anywhere between 60-120 raw lvl 9 ores. On top of the xp for mining the 9s and below, i get the clear bonuses on the fields. (Spacing your ore loses some trade xp, it not "wise" to do if your mining for trade xp, i dont care about trade xp, so thats a non-issue to me) With a 30 minute respawn time, it is easy to hit the same pure lvl 9 fields twice in one mining trip. With my setup + a laz i can clear a field in under 10mins, than warp/wh to the next field and start clearing that one. Im sorry this setup only works for a JE, for PS & TS you'll need a matyrs heart (TS), and for PS (you'll need the reactor that shunts to reactor) This also works for people who want to relax and mine. just need two or 3 of these fields to slowly chew on. The key to this is exploring off the beaten path for the hidden astriod fields. Im going to guess and say i know where about 50 of these 7-9 hidden ore fields are, and i find new ones almsot every other day. If anyone remembers before sunset when they introduced all the new ore fields, msot designated by an "astriod xt-23434" nav, most of those navs are still in the game, and have ore by them. 95% dont have ore guardians. If you do not know what i am talking about, check out Glenn. Free warp from the gate to carp to the gate to sol (saturn). You'll find a TON of lvl 5-7 with some lvl 8&9 ore scattered here and there. Glenn has no ore guardians in it, except for the ocassinal job mob. (easy to avoid) Those astriods are the ones you want to look for in other systems. With the ammount of ore fields in game with no guardians, no one should ever have to mine in a field with mobs unwillining. Theres plenty of places to mine where you wont get harassed by mobs. The ammount of xp you get from clearing a lvl 8&9 field is around 20k+the 5k or whatever clearing bonus. Thats not bad for 10 minutes. In an hour and a half i can hit multiple systems and multiple fields, and return to the fields i cleared earlyer and clear those again. If you have any questions besides asking where the fields are, i'll be happy to try and help you. Thanks, Cia

i hope you guys are making a seperate server for pvp.... pvp would ruin the game imo. Cia
