Then came Demon Summoning, and the exact problem you describe happened... And is still happening to this day. Demons are constantly grunting and growling. I wonder if we need another blow-out flame war over it to get someone's attention and please just kill the repetitive background noise that's out of our control. -

It's been 6 issues now since Power Customization was left unfinished, there are very few other suggestions or requests that would spur this much discussion and people basically begging for it to be done. War Witch, Positron, Dink, Tunnel Rat, whoever it takes, please please please find the time.
a) For free, maybe a year from now
b) 800 points, i23(.5 maybe)
I'd pick b in a heartbeat. -
Brute's Fury Lists one of the enhancements as Accuracy/Endurance/Recharge - this was changed prior to release and is now Damage/Endurance Recharge. (This might be true of most of the sets actually - let me check)
EDIT - The other 11 sets are fine - other than that nasty glitch with the Controller/Dominator sets enhancement values bleeding into the set enhancement list. -

Essentially, you have one giant pool of hit points, regeneration and damage to deal with, and it's easily the game's most boring fight by a very wide margin.

Quote:In tactics it's definitely yourself only (My Crab can attest to this), though it makes me wonder about powers like fortitude...Originally Posted by Hopeling
Only on yourself, as I understand it. Fortunately, this also means it will not buff enemies in powers like Follow Up.

Let's just fix the whole problem. Every toggle power or long lasting click-buff needs a "no visual effect" option.

And if you pay attention to some of the other battles going on you'll see lots of other signature character that don't run with you, but are present and fighting off to the sides. I distinctly remember seeing Mynx fighting alongside someone else I don't remember right now.

Quote:In Praetor Duncan's first mission you have the option to clear the map and free all the hostages (unnecessary for completion). If you do so, Numina will show up at the end of the arc to help you. In my run, she fell about a third of the way through the mission.Originally Posted by MajorDecoy
I played a villain (well, rogue) in those arcs and didn't get a Lord Recluse ally.
However, I always said "Oh, no, I don't need help, assign those people to other places" -
Quote:Uh... I'll assume villains get a slightly different take than Heroes.Originally Posted by Xzero45
*spoilers*
The Lord Recluse ally in Dark Astoria doesn't summon pets at all. Just fires lasers and claws people with his spider legs. -
Quote:If they did that they'd have to nerf the merit reward values, because it would go a LOT quicker.Originally Posted by Energizing_Ion
Please devs, if you have us doing defend missions like the hero respec trial does (or this croatoa mission) please add a button like the Desktop Tower Defense games do: "Send the Next Wave."
That way we don't have to wait 1-2 mins per wave (well even longer than that in the hero respec it seems). If the team leader could just hit "send next wave" I would be up for more hero respec trials that's for sure! -
Quote:The one in "Time After Time" does, as does the STF and the one in Recluse's Victory. Which one doesn't?Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
Lord Recluse is supposed to be an MM (and there's only one version of him that summons minions if I recall)

...How much just to turn OFF super speed's graphics on MY end? I can't run an iTrial with the particle count higher than 100 without getting a migraine on my new monitor.

Quote:You can't email them to yourself - I tried that already. It won't even let you ADD it as an attachment.Originally Posted by Stone Daemon
Um, not quite...you can still unslot them, and trade them. They just lose the bonus if you do.

You can use them on ANY IOs that give enhancement value...
but then they're locked to your character. :/ -
Quote:In a TCG like Pokemon Power Creep is very much a marketing ploy. Only with the HeartGold/SoulSilver and Black/White sets are they actually scaling back ANY power (and with Black/White they brought back Big Basic Pokemon with a vengeance).Originally Posted by Hopeling
It does! They're working on 5th edition now, I think, and they've still got power creep
Power creep, IMX, happens less as a marketing ploy and more as underpowered stuff gets fixed/replaced. -
Quote:Maybe they want us to take [Grant Invisibility]?Originally Posted by Roderick
If it was unkillable, I'd pay 600 points for it.
If it really does have the durability of the Vet Buff Pets, then it'll be totally useless - it'll be nothing more than an UGLY vanity pet that despawns every time you get into a fight. -
Quote:Well, he DOES have his mag 100 Stun Blast.Originally Posted by UberGuy
The same with Reichsman. The one in the Kahn/Barracuda TFs is empowered by his dimensional power sucking device. The one in a mission need not have insane-o HP as an AV.

Quote:Savy? Are you a pirate? I'm assuming you're referring to me, since I actually got Synapse's attention. The reason I spoke out immediately upon discovering the Performance Shifter procs dramatic difference in performance is as follows:Originally Posted by Cheetatron
you can pretty much guarantee that it won't happen now, discoveries like this need to be kept tight lipped imo Hope the ppm formula doesn't get nerfed cause the op wasn't savy enough to keep quiet
If Synapse said it was WAI and wasn't going to change, I'd go ahead and buy a bunch while they were on sale (the ability to slot them starting at 18 isn't that appealing to me - i've got 5 or 6 level 21s in circulation right now).
If Synapse said it WASN'T WAI, (and he would find out, sooner or later) then I would save myself some money. -
Quote:*FACEPALM*Originally Posted by GreenFIame
It could be a typo on the Market, why would they make a different Performance Shifter Set.
I'm seriously considering ignoring everyone who jumps into a thread without even bothering to read the OP.
Even if the OP ISN'T me. -
Quote:*WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD*:Originally Posted by Roderick
The Midnighter Club only has ONE crystal, and it's tuned specifically to Cimerora and doesn't go anywhere else. I suppose they could re-tune it to be a normal crystal if they wanted, but I still doubt that they'd be willing to give away their only crystal.
If you read the letter at the end of the ITF he suggests that *HE* was the one who gave them their crystal (and since *HE* is the founder of the Midnighter Club, that's probably true), he could simply have a second crystal lying around - or he could, if he wanted to, take it by force. -
Quote:Explain how the Fifth Column, despite their auras, are EXACTLY THE SAME as the ones I've fought on Khan or anywhere else - they might have Focused Accuracy, but they're still the same cannon fodder they've ever been. Yet, they give us progress on the incarnate path!Originally Posted by Lycantropus
Two, we're told over and over throughout the arc that while there are powerful beings out there, nothing can truly match the power of an incarnate. This mechanic 'forces' us to understand that, and underscores just how powerful we really are at this point. There's an AV of Requiem, Romulus, Reichsman, etc. in game, which proves to me that this is not an oversight on the dev's part. The fact these once fearsome opponents have been diminished is part of the 'working as intended' in our ascension as incarnates.
Basically, they're not less powerful, you're just that much more powerful, and the EB thing is just a game mechanic to demonstrate that.
Ultimately, I don't care either way, but I don't think it's a bug or oversight, and working just as they intended it to be...
So that way we can't complain when they sic the really nasty pancakes on us in the next installment... As demonstrated in a couple misisons (a particular Cimeroran one comes to mind...). I'm thinking they're going to focus on 'strength in numbers' against us vs singular powerful opponents. This can make us 'feel' even more powerful than fighting a single thing that's more powerful than us.
Now Incarnates are the AV's, and the old AV's and NPC's are the players that have to swarm us to have a chance. That's power.
I imagine that perspective shift is what it means to be an incarnate.
If Requiem and Reich are EBs, then the Bosses should be Lts, the Lts minions, and the Minions Underlings. -
Quote:Main problem is this never would have happened if they actually gave us time to test these - they showed up on the beta server about 12 hours before they were added to the store on live.Originally Posted by blueruckus
Main problem I see with this is that we're paying real money for these now so changing the rules all of a sudden won't go over so well for those who are directly funding their operation further. The market has been open for about what, 5-6 months now, and there's been no issue with these thus far. Synapse made one single vague sentence regarding Performance Shifter in Stamina but nothing in regards to anything else.
In regards to complaining about pay2win, please these things are like 1-2 bucks. You'll spend 10 bucks on fake clothes, but now that they're selling something meaningful it becomes a Paragon witch hunt? If you don't want to buy these, then fine, don't. Your game experience won't change. -
Quote:I actually got the slot machine without knowing the requirements (My SG were doing Gangbuster for 3 hours when I was in my 20s) and I just happened to stumble upon it while searching for another contact in the Giza. I've done it on 3 other villains in the appropriate range as well.Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
At least with the slot machine you're somewhat motivated by the fact that it's kind of a novelty contact and the badge it requires is also required for one of the accolades. The Nerva contacts... I pity anyone who goes to the trouble of unlocking them expecting something neat as a reward.
