Upgrade Attacks Overpowered
You would rather have everyone using Hacker than Martial Arts? I find that really suprising and I think the majority of the players dont want to see that happen.

Funny how 90% of the pvpers are using viral attacks now. Whatever interlock penalties hackers have its not enough. If anything hackers rather be in interlock now since each round takes 4 seconds. They can launch an attack that does a lot o...

From what ive seen on EP so far hackers still have no problem getting hits in. Im also popping ab's like crazy with those dot abilities like Code Infection. Accuracy isnt that important if you can land attacks than do a ton of damage every...
Ive been fighting hackers on ep since this patch and im still getting destroyed in interlock. MA's I can handle but hackers still outroll me in interlock as a duelist with 30 focus. For those saying you cant heal in interlock is bs. Ive do...
Penalty is still not enough. Im still getting hacked to death in interlock with duelist loaded and 30 focus. Ma's are fine but getting into interlock with a hacker and im as good as dead.
Why not just use a hybrid build? Load some Viral hacks and patcher. If you get stuck in interlock you can heal yourself until you can roll out. Possibilities are there if you take the time to find them. If you stick with only 1 type of com...
HCFogs post made the points I was trying to make but hes a LOT better with words than I am. Message Edited by Renesis13B on 03-23-2006 05:10 PM
MA cant do much outside of interlock and Hackers arent an interlock class so I dont see the problem. You cant have the best of both.
My highest viral defense ive been able to get as a duelist was like 165. Having 200 viral accuracy and having no way for another class to get 200 viral defense is called overpowered. Its the same thing on live now with viral transmission s...
I know with Handguns loaded I can use rifle and smg abilities. Havent tried it the other way around. I have noticed if Handguns is loaded and I use a Rifle attack I dont get switched..it stays on Handguns but the attacks do work. Message E...
Hackers have been overpowered since the beginning of time. I say dont stop at this..keep going..Nerf away!
If you use any of the operative tree load up to Sideroll escape in the spy tree. Everytime ive used it ive rolled out of interlock on the first attempt. Ive done this as kung-fu and duelist/smg/rifles. You dont have to be a spy to use it....
Check out the spy tree. Theres a nice little ability in there that will allow you to roll out 100% of the time. Takes up some memory but worth it imo.
I loved that launcher and without it my IS regen is horrible. I wish they would have left it alone...now ill have to spend 30 mil for some widow moor lenses..if I can even find them
If thats true then his ballistic resistance is way to high compared to his melee. The most damage ive ever done with a gunslinger/rifles build was 77 dmg. Most hits are 20-30dmg. The Leo wrote: I can solo the zero one archive boss alone an...
Those numbers are fine. Your highest ability there is a level 11. Canceling your account because you dont know what your doing is foolish. Learn the new system like everyone else had to do or leave...Dont threaten the devs over this. Messa...
Most abilities that require a state do a lot of damage especially to npcs. Npc resistance is probably too low.
Thats my experience exactly but The_Wendigo is saying something different.
Im having a similiar problem to Liquidz. With Duelist getting states like dazed or staggered on an opponent is near impossible during interlock. Outside of interlock its easy but it rarely happens during. Message Edited by Renesis13B on 03...
Looks like the hampton guns have been fixed already.
There were a couple of other people there yesterday when I went and they couldnt do a lot of damage either. I still think my numbers are right and yours are wrong. Can you please go back there with duelist and try it again. Email your hamp...
As a level 50 duelist with some smg and rifles loaded my Dual Pistol Execution using bedlams does 58 damage to the taskmaster. I dont understand how you could be doing 200+ damage with bedlams. I can do 225 damage if I use a stinger, lance...
What gun were you using? Those numbers are way too high. If your using a hampton hideout gun (stinger, lancet or needler) then that would explain it. Those guns havent been converted yet and shouldnt be used for balance testing.
Seems really high since my strongest duelist attack only does like 60 dmg.
I heard hacker is bugged and doing more damage than its suppose too. How much damage were you doing to the taskmaster?
I have the launcher. You said you soloed him if im not mistaking. Message Edited by Renesis13B on 03-06-2006 06:48 PM

I spent some time trying to kill the Taskmaster in 01 today as a level 50 duelist using bedlams. I had no problem hitting him but the damage was only around 30-55 or so I ran out of innerstrength way before I could kill him. I got his heal...
There are benefits to the way the system is now. Lower levels can now help fight higher level characters since they have a better chance of landing an attack. They may not do a lot of damage but they can still help in other ways (cause sta...
Your going to get hit a lot with this new system. How high you can roll has less impact with this system than how much damage you can resist. Resistance is everything now and not how high you can roll. Try to ignore your rolls (for the mos...
It would be very nice to get a list like that but I doubt they would do that. Never hurts to ask though.

I think IS regen is a problem with all the trees right now but its really bad as a Ballista. Hopefully the enchanced items we are missing will fix that.
Isnt FM/UM suppose to be more of a support class than a fighter?
Impersonating a dev will get you banned..its happened before.
I should have been more clear. Ballista was fully loaded and parts of other hacker trees were loaded as well. Mostly I loaded any passive ability that gave beneficial bonuses such as viral accuracy and is cost reduction.
Yes you can join the test server. We need all the people we can get to find bugs, inbalances etc.
Ive been testing the ballista tree as a level 50 running missions and farming creston mobs. The biggest problem I see so far is the innerstrength cost/regen. Even with max Vitality and as many is cost reduction bonuses from passive abilies...
Sounds like a good way to get banned.
Even with the bonus stacking I think the balance is fine. One thing that will probably change my mind is the enhanced items we are still missing. With the extra health/is regen and even more ballistic/melee damage resistance from these ite...
I just noticed you can stack bonuses from different trees. Im going to tweak my build some more and head back to creston. I may have to retract my previous statements on mob balance.
Apparently its not a bug that bonuses stack. I might have to take back everything I said about npcs being balanced considering I wasnt stacking abilities before.
Unfortunately I couldnt be there last night so thanks for the recap - Upgrade stacking is still there. You can stack melee accuracy bonuses (only) . Load Karate, Aikido and Kung Fu and check the bonus tab... you´ll see. Is this a bug or no...

I think a 1% bonus wouldnt do anything. Having a 10% or 15% bonus would definately help with specials.
Thanks for clearing that up although I think specials should have an accuracy bonus on top of what your normal attacks give.
As everyone has mentioned it was possible to take on those high levels solo or with a team of 2 with the right builds. The hardest part was blocking the hacks. If one landed you had to run to a safe spot but the free fire wasnt bad with al...
By that logic as long as we can still win the fight then everything is balanced. I can fight 5 level 48s and win every fight but ill have to hyperjump away and heal after every fight. I dont see that as balance. It makes fighting tedious a...
Now im really confused. Check the known bugs list <Interlock> The proper accuracy bonuses are not being applied when Special Abilities are used in interlock resulting in players missing with Special Abilities far more than intended.
According to this post there isnt any bonus at all. I thought I read somewhere there was a bonus..ill see if I can find it.
Someone correct me if im wrong but I think it does add a percent to accuracy like the speed (i think) attack does. Not sure what that percent is though. Apparently there is another bug with specials preventing them from landing right now....
Im still getting shot up to hell. With 181pts of Ballistic Damage Resistance level 48's in Creston do about 90 dmg per shot. Fighting a mob 1 on 1 in interlock with 3 or 4 others firing at me im lucky if I can finish the fight without losi...
I cant call missions either. I figured everyone had this issue but it appears its working for some people.
If the combat rolls werent so inconsistent it would make things a lot easier when fighting multiple mobs. Its hard to build a decent ballistic defense when you can roll anywhere from 1 to 200+. If the rolls didnt vary so much we wouldnt ge...

I think this party was a huge success and id like to thank everyone who came out and supported it and Ingus for putting it all together. I hope we have more of these in the near future. Thanks again.
