 Quote: Containment cages are now granted as single-use, instead of coming as stacks of 3. Why give the containment cages for single-use when NPC bosses can use their abilities multiple times. I know a lot of players have been complaining because of they use of containment cages in PVP but nerfing the containment cage also affected the NPC fighting. I already have high attack but if I dont debuff the nullify field of this boss I would have to use more than 400 enegy just to lock my self on this boss.

But I still had to use 3 containment cages.. I really don't know why the containment cage was nerfed when its use is not only for PVP, In our legion we mostly use them for debuffing NPC attacks. Not to ruin the drop rate of Cloning pods. But I dont think people use cloning pods as often as Containment cage both in PVP or in NPC fighting. _________________ Brains of Battlestation Dysonia Defense  Support "TRADING FEATURE" at http://galaxylegion.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12126 |

then perhaps the change is to limit the NPC to only effecting a ship once per debuff effect? for example, if the NPC has a defense effect and an attack effect, a ship can only be hit once with the attack debuff and once with the defense debuff.

I totally agree. The frequency that some of these bosses have their abilities activated are crap sometimes. I hit the Stryll Prison like 40 times once and didn't get hit with any special abilites. I hit it again about 1 hour later and in 10 straight attacks I was hit with the ability every freaking time. I didn't have any containment cages, but still I was already effected, why should it try to hit me again?

reduce the frequency would solve that problem, having 100 cages standing by is not a good solution.

I understand what you are saying but I have so many cages I was happy by this turn of events. I get about 2-3 of them a day, sometimes more. I don't mind them nerfed. I'm not saying the other suggestions in this thread are bad.

Heh. You know.. I never EVER used a cage during any kind of NPC fights cuz my defense/attack is already very high enough to handle any debuffs.
 My attack is now at 6,500 buffed so any debuffs still pack plenty of punch.  So nerfs won't even effect me.. But I can see that it affects lot of players..Maybe introduce NPC-only cage type with more charges that could solve it? |

NPCs debuffs are meant to be slowing down players.
So I really don't understand why Dan would introduce solutions to do the opposite effect ... I find it good to have less cages ... Now you have to use them more strategically, which is ... More interesting |

Introduce one artifact that comes with its own opposite type of artifact.. Why? $ $ $.  Or make artifact production more interesting..After all.. In history of warfare in reaf life, we always develop weapons and counter-measure defenses that comes with it.. It's normal.. So.. If NPCs debuff us all the time, wouldn't we do something to counteract it by developing new "tech" or artifact with that one in mind? Should we develop something to defend against those debuffs? Maybe, Dan should develop a new NPC defense and offense tech tree with % chance to defend against NPC debuffs and also give us some offensive tools to debuff them or something like that.. |

Or an artifact that, for a short time, prevents an NPC from using its abilities...

you could make one like the planet artifact that gives immunity , but it would be for ships , traps would till work it just block debuffs.

Dan I like that. The offence dampiner for NPCs sounds like a great add.

I think the question should be how much artifact points will it take and how common, uncommon, or rare the artifact would be.. I really hope its as common as the containment cages.
