Either way, saying "These Enhancements are equivalent to a Security Level 20 Dual Origin Enhancement" is a misnomer: DOs don't have an absolute level, they have a relative level from -3 to +3.

What they are doing is providing the equivalent of *two* even-level DOs, namely an Even-Level Damage DO plus an Even-Level Recharge Reduction DO.

They are close to providing the same enhancement of a Level 20-21 Dual Aspect *IO*.


So... Once one hits level 21, any slottable Damage/Recharge IO will be better then these enhancements, which I think is very fair and balanced bonus: it's a boon to lower levels and by level 21, gives no extra advantage than what's available in the game. Good stuff.

Don't forget that you still have beginner's luck +ToHit from level 1 to 20 and the Streak Breaker.



That 70-ish damage at level 50 is for regular damage -- these enhancements do minor damage. I don't know what that means... 75% strength? 50% strength?

And since their enhancement aspects are outclassed by other available enhancements at level 22+, it would be best to look at the extra damage they do from levels 1-22. At regular strength, such procs would do 6.7 - 33.7 damage. At minor strength, they may be doing half that amount.

For the min-maxing power users, these enhancements are a boon from level 1 - 22. After that, they'll be replaced.

It wouldn't have been a spoiler unless someone pointed out it was a spoiler.

Can we call him GreenSpeechBubble Man?

I'll need someone to rez me then.

I have an idea on how to get the Rikti to come to Praetoria:

1. Build some robots to look like AntiMatter and Chimera.

2. Send them to the Rikti dimension on a killing spree threatening to invade Rikti Land with an army of super powered beings and leave a clue as to the whereabouts of your home dimension (Praetoria).

3. Profit.

That is what I wanna know more about. And until we do, it's not worth it to doom or squee about it.

Ladies and gentleman, for the first time ever on these forums, I will now perform:

/e facepalm

I swear to go around and use every single buff on my Defender and Controller in drive-by buffings to help people like you see that this has always been in the game and that Mystic Fortune is no different and has no logical need to be treated separately.

Let's put the same dialogue on all buffs then. Now, you'll have to deal with constant pop-up dialogues from drive-by buffers. Is that what you want?

BUGGED

1. When Mystic Fortune is cast on someone, rather than go through the buff-accepted animation, the one receiving the buff goes through the MF casting animation, which looks pretty bad.

2. MF can't be cast on anyone with Walk toggled on (which I assume is WAI). However, the one being buffed can turn on the Walk Toggle while the Accept Dialogue Window is up and counting down, then accept the buff, then turn off Walk. This doesn't stack the buffs (except for a brief moment, when an exclusionary code turns off the old buff). However, this does allow one to get their buff changed (and changed again) until they get the buff they want. This sort of takes away from the design of the deck of random buffs (one is drawing from a tarot deck).

3. While not really a bug, it is something that bugs a lot of us: The Accept Dialogue Window popping up. I prefer the auto-accept of Live.

BTW folks, there is no option to have the prompt show or not.

Yes it works, but...

You can't perma it, especially since it's impossible to recast it on a phased object.

It draws aggro. If you do it before the Tanker has established anchor lock, LR is coming after you and you will not survive. If you wait until the Tanker has aggro, then it's not like you're helping the Tanker survive the alpha strike.

Your wish... (silence all but the *Dist.oggs)

You really should ask the Devs there about that than assume, because, you're wrong.

There was a standalone CC released for Korea. It was downloadable and playable in the US for anyone who knew how to edit the regional registry field. It was updatable for anyone who knew how to manipulate the pigg files.

The reason given at the time as to why they wouldn't release it in the US was the whole Marvel frivolous lawsuit thing and the fear that a standalone costume creator would allow people to create infringements that Cryptic couldn't police.

Which is an absurd argument to begin with since Cryptic can't stop us from making infringements with crayons and paper. And any infringements we made with a standalone CC wouldn't be known about until we brought it into the game which, at that point, would be subject to the same review and genericization that a brand new infringement made in the regular CC would be. Anyway, that's now ancient history.

Again, anyone who would use such a standalone CC freely available would be so tempted to click on the big red button that takes them to a trial account so they can see their creation in action.... it would be a big draw.

Ummm...

Why is Mother's hair highly reflective?

Why is Mother's big toes on the outside and not the inside of the feet?

You got the models right. Sister Psyche *used to* inhabit Aurora's body, but she got her body back and they're now two again.

In Praetoria, Sister Psyche (Mother Mayhem) is still inhabiting Aurora's body, and Aurora's husband, Calvin is ticked off about it.
