Gauntlet Information Megathread

[Pajaaa]

I would sugest to have a look on loot table. We had this loot from last run:

1 Bi-Isotropic Nano Media
4 Blue Data Crystal
4 Compressed Silane
1 Dacite Fiber
5 Green Data Crystal
3 Inert Bacteriophage
2 Mu-Negative Novictum Enriched Metamaterial

14 NCU Infuser

3 Nickel-Cobalt Ferrous Alloy
2 Pattern Conversion Device
3 Potassium Nitrate
2 Red Data Crystal
1 Sealed Packet of Bilayer Graphene Sheets
4 SSC "Bastion" Back Armor - Inactive
5 SSC "Bastion" Left Shoulder Armor - Inactive
3 SSC "Bastion" Right Shoulder Armor - Inactive
5 Synchotronic Recombinator - Pocket Edition (Empty)
5 Virus Programming: Bacteriophage F9
7 Virus Programming: Bacteriophage M73
3 Virus Programming: Bacteriophage Phi X 3957
2 VLS Synthesis Catalyst

Do you think that is OK to drop so many NCU Infusers (14x)? I dont think so. This part is yes-drop. Average class need maybe 1 infused thing?.

You need to go to this location around 20 times to get 1 armor fully upgraded (3 upgrades),if you dont win final battle and you have full team each run. In this period you will get 40 Infusers (2 per run). Do you think that we need that much?

[Wakizaka]

NCU Infusers work on what items ? Hardcore CPU Upgrade, Morphing Memory and ?

[Cdogg421]

coolant sink, range extender.

[doctorgore]

Agent might need 2-3 of them I don't see a problem.

It's very cool fc, good job on this, this way the whole faction gets rewarded, i very much would like to see more of this kind of rewards in game

What is does and how it works?
Well, you look the dark matter from top boss in the gauntlet, trade it in to an npc (small trox in white at omni trade for omni) and when you speak to him he will give you a buff with http://www.xyphos.com/ao/aodb.php?pa...1100&id=293685
It should be up for 15h.

It would make sense that it only buffs omni if won by a omni char and traded to that npc etc etc.

[kesh]

Dark Energy gives a 15h faction (+Neutrals) buff (the NPC that gives the buff is up for 15h, the buff itself lasts less I think), that adds 10+ to all abilities and scaling health/mana. Not new to mmorpgs, but cool reward imo. Cyrola won it for clams.

[Gridpain]

so ... what is it ? what is it ?

/edit

erm ... how does it work ??

[Bombqueen]

So if someone won it for your side, you have 15 hours to go and talk to the item-trading NPC and you'll get the buff for 2 hours?

I imagine Nautrals get a choice of which side's NPC they turn it in to?

[Kintaii]

The buff will be given out for 15 hours past the turn-in, meaning that it'll reset by the next time that Vizaresh spawns in Pandemonium - Neutrals can turn in to either side, and receive either side's buffs.

Clan won Atlantean today and Omni-Tek won Rimor - What will happen tomorrow?! =D

vvv all i can do at this point is just hope that folks don't lame it up vvv

[Aikey]

/SNIP
Clan won Atlantean today and Omni-Tek won Rimor - What will happen tomorrow?! =D

What will start happening might just be like the good 'ol days *sic* of Beast sharing! One day Omni, one day Clan !

ok ... so ... where is the NPC that gives the buff ?

[kesh]

OA whompahs.

[Ahndracorvid]

I hope this doesn't get lost in this huge thread but I love the idea behind the Dark Energy reward. When Kintaii mentioned before that it wouldn't really be an issue once the mechanic was working properly, I didn't quite imagine that this was what he meant. But that's a good thing: this was very much a pleasant kind of surprise.

Finally, some content in the game that encourages factional competition and has some kind of lasting impact for the winners, yet manages to step outside the standard PvP box. I've thought for a long time that competitive gameplay doesn't have to be limited to PvP and hoped I'd see more game devs in general come up with fun ways to blur the lines between PvP, PvM and RP. This is a neat step in that direction.

In short, I love it!

(Also the buff looks badass. I'm an utter dork because I just went through my alts list and logged on every toon I had just to get the shiny effect on all of them. Lawlz.)

[Lulshoo7]

Err i'll 3-man the floors. skip boss. ty.

[Mrowki]

Wanna bet Clan also can have dark energy buff today ? . Dont say who win who lose

[Ekarona]

There is some sort of issue with respawning towers atleast on RK2, after the boss is dead.

[Kinkstaah]

So, wheres the incentive to get the dark energy item?

[Canibaal]

more hp/nano at tl5 can affect pvp/duels

[Kinkstaah]

more hp/nano at tl5 can affect pvp/duels

So, where's the incentive to get the Dark Energy item?

[Warhead]

Boohoo! Kink is not happy, Kink keep asking for more better cookie!
