    Welcome!

    For future reference, origin doesn't really tell us anything about your character(s).

    What powersets did you use for those characters?

    Frozen Aura

    [ QUOTE ]
    One more question concerning Frozen Aura: If you slot the sleep set's "10% chance for 5% heal" can it proc multiple times in one application of the power. Since you can hit up to 10 enemies with Frozen aura, its pretty sure to at least give you a small heal, but does anyone know if it can proc off of, lets say two people for a 10% heal in one usage?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It will only hit once unfortunately.

    When it was first available, the chance would individually roll against everything it hit. That was awesome, but it was very OP.
  3. Awesome job MB.

    You're making me feel bad for not having my HKS parody-song video done. It'll crack you guys up.

    Maybe I'll work on it tonight.

    Maybe.

    Do they get debt?

    ^^ Because then it would be a bug. ^^

    Otherwise, it's working as intended. Don't get our testing tools nerfed, OP.

    I bought Imeco one at Bestbuy in FL about a week ago. They had like 30 in stock.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Really?

    They must've stolen them all!

    Seriously, even when they had them in-stock in ATL area (a metro population of 4 million ++), they would only have 5-10 at a time.

    So strange.

    In case you ever look, there are no game cards in the Best Buy in Carolina, Puerto Rico.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    From what I've seen, they don't exist anywhere except "overstock" retailers or some random guy on the internet who quit playing even though he had a stack of GTCs.

    Seriously, I've scouted them for a while now. NCSoft doesn't seem to be making them anymore. Or maybe they just don't sell them to brick-and-mortars.

    It's annoying. I started a Suggestion thread about it. It gained a slight bit of traction, but I didn't talk seductively enough to keep anyone's attention very long...apparently.

    From Target's website:

    This item is available online, but is not available in stores.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    On BestBuy's site, none of the locations I'm typing returns more than 1 store in a 20-mile radius that has one.

    It's really annoying. Why would you order it online if the whole point of it is to be able to use cash?
  8. Holy crap. I forgot. You sent me one of those dumb prank call PM yesterday Shard. You didn't think a reminder would've been better?!?

    Gratz to TeamOcho!

    Castle, thank you for forwarding this issue to the proper person. It was a small issue, but it was really annoying to not have access to this feature.
  10. I love lamp.

    P.S. Baba, when will you be on again? Let's team.

    Sorry you took offense to what I said. I just think a lot of people are blaming AE for anything that's wrong with a player or the game. Indirectly, you were right, though. The reason things like base raids haven't been fixed is because the devs spent more time rolling out and promoting a new feature that is still being fixed on a regular basis.

    Here's my "agenda" (w/e Az): I hate seeing things removed from the game. Period.

    I've seen people on the boards complain about things until the devs finally say, "Screw it!" and remove the whole system. Then there's PvP. While I wouldn't say it's been destroyed, it was changed very drastically based largely on feedback from non-PvPers and the devs' need for controlling any type of farming in the game (see Castle's comments about pocket emps in RV.)

    I don't expect things to not change. That's life. I just see a lot of good uses for MA, and I don't want to see it removed from the game once all those boxes that advertise it aren't on the shelves anymore. It probably won't happen, but then again, base raids are coming back...when?

    the temp power was not fun for me

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The point I was making with the temp is that if used correctly, you have the potential for a lot of drops. When you do the Dom-Corr 1-2 punch, you get credit for everything it insta-kills (at the moment...hopefully that doesn't change). Repeat: Insta-kills. Not distracts. You hold, you dust devil, they all die. It's actually quite epic and hilarious.
  12. [ QUOTE ]
    Dom temp is a bummer just does an aoe hold briefly, the corrupter one helps out more

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The Dom and Corr temps are meant to be used as a 1-2 punch. If you read the description of the Corr power, you'll see that it only hurts things that are "helpless" (read as: HELD).

    On a different note, why PuG a SF with a lot of people you don't know? Why criticize people for not knowing every part of the game? Does the game explain to people that their pets die when they are out of SK range? Does the game tell people where and what Shivans are if they never go into a PvP zone?

    Just some questions to ask yourself before typing a snarky post. You finished the thing. It took a while I see, but at least you finished it. I've had 3 failed attempts while learning how it works with different teams, and I've seen several people who post on the forums who still haven't completed it.

    I've had teams that have finished pretty quickly now, but I've had plenty of veteran players who haven't been off the floor for the majority of the SF. People play at different levels, regardless of their length of playtime here in the City.

    I'm not attacking. I just wonder what the next scapegoat is going to be for people once the "MA has ruined the game" dead horse is finally put in the ground.

    Respec bugged?

    Was your character on an Architect arc? Or was the character part of a team that had started one?
  15. BAB confirmed that a while back.

    The feet are the default node.
  16. [ QUOTE ]
    You guys can probably blame me for these sets. I specifically asked them to proliferate sets that wouldn't require new animations or VFX, as we're already swamped with supporting power customization. We had to make one new animation for Broadsword Stalkers, but other than that they were able to directly port everything over or at least pull powers and visuals from existing powersets.

    Did you grab a couple of the "Earth Assault" powers from the Legacy Chain "Rock Blast" style powers? (Say yes and mean it please.)

    I've suggested this a few times already but I don't even know if this game even allow a real Jump and Kick to happen.

    What I mean is making Eagle Claw a 20'-30' range attack but instead of shooting something out of your legs (like Focus), you actually Fly, Kick and LAND near the target.

    The only thing that is close to this idea is Lightning Rod type of power but you actually have to select an area first.


    I think it will be a fantastic buffing idea for Martial Arts as it lacks any real advantage over Dark Melee and Energy Melee as ST Damage Set, and it fits the theme very well too.

    What do you guys think?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Something like this is what Shield Charge was meant to be. Alas, despite a LOT of work from Sunstorm, BABs and myself, there ended up not being a way to get this functionality to work.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, the original version of it had us all looking like pull-back toys in the middle of a fight.

    (Not that it wasn't awesome, but I could understand the change when it was made.)
  18. P.S. Easy-bake farming FTW!

    (I'm not being snarky. I really think this is a good thing.)

    Its been said many places, but we'll say it again.

    Check the bottom of the Status page across from the RSS logo...
    if the datestamp shows 2009-06-24 xx:xx:xx UTC or any other date then todays... then the server are not up and the status is stale.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I know the page says you don't have to do it, but if everyone would just refresh the server status page....

    To make it "fair", use the ARENA and disable travel powers.

    I hope the reboot will stop my blaster from crashing.

    You won't crash if you have a kin use Transference right after you nuke.

    <ul type="square">[*]Power of Black Scorpion (Mastermind Version) now has the correct targeting information and help text. It also now works correctly when used on Reichsman. This power prevents Reichsman from using his Unbreakable power. If it is used while Reichsman is Unbreakable, it will prevent Reichsman from using it again.[/list]

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Verified! Worked like a charm!

    Also, we did get the merit boost. That might need to be added to the patch notes. Barracuda Strike Force is now 30 merits.
  23. I stopped badging on Sycarius because Caleb would never spawn for me.

    Yes.

    Really.
