Dispari

Curious. How big was the download?

My Inv Brute never hits red on S/L, but it definitely drops to 40-50 range. That's with Tough of course, with S/L sitting at just over 70% unhindered. F/C/N/E will definitely hit red though.

1) Doubtful. It sets your move speed to 3.09 (barring the apparent bug that's making it less). But it also sets your MAX move speed to 3.09. Slotting for speed wouldn't do anything, because you're already at max speed.

2) Soon!

I know, but just in case, I posted a failproof method in the event he was doing something different.

You actually get walk at 1 too so not sure what Niv was on. vv

As long as the devs are aware of the situation.

This has worked for me several times without fail:

* Log into BS/Shield Scrapper (female)
* Toggle on Deflection, Battle Agility
* Toggle on Hover
* Move around; laugh at seizures character is having
* Press Whirling Sword; wonder why character is using spin emote with a sword
* Toggle off Hover, toggle on SJ
* Jump; seek glass of water to cure hiccups

Getting this too. It's really bad when jumping. You have to turn on at least two toggles before it starts to do stuff. You may also have to "walk" first.

My character is BS/Shield. If I turn on a couple shield toggles, she'll jitter while hovering. She also repeats her jump noise very rapidly indefinitely while ascending with SJ. And will always do a freestyle air-run when falling.

In addition, neither Head Splitter or Whirling Sword are playing the right animation while hovering (with shield out). It was already doing this at the start of i16, but only about half the time. Now it's 100%. It always plays the wrong animation.

Reduces your max run speed apparently. Mine's showing as "capped" run speed at 3.09 MPH. No amount of +speed will change the fact that your max run speed while walking is 3 MPH.

Also, where's my Hamidon EAT?

BABs has said before that new animations for movement, like running all fours like CO has, would require all new animations for tons of stuff. It wouldn't just be one animation and done. Walking in this way disables all other powers and jumping so that none of the clashing animation issues can occur.

Personally... I wouldn't give one flip if the running all fours was instantly interrupted and I "teleported" to a standing position to execute any powers. I don't care about seamless transition from running to attacking, not one bit. I just want to run around on all fours dangit! vv

Maybe we can get new running animations using these same mechanics, disallowing other powers at the same time? I'd start setting up binds to toggle them on the instant I start moving right away!!

Even if it doesn't, I can't say no to bonus HP or move speed that works with Hover.

Well sure, that's the nature of all IOs. I figured if you're springing for Numina, Miracle, and Regen Tissue (which I don't even do, most of the time), you could spare a little for Performance Shifters.

If you're going for 4-slot in Stamina, there's a better way:

3x level 50 IO + proc = +49.8% recov + proc
4x Performance Shifter (including proc) = +50.4% recov + proc

EndMod + EndMod/Recharge + EndMod/Accuracy + Proc will give you slightly more recovery than what you have now thanks to the 4-piece +2.5% recov bonus. On top of that, you also get +5% move speed and +1.88% HP.

Or you can just beat up the much easier police drones and PB guys at level 50.

I disagree with replacing any powers. They already tried that, and it lead to tons of drama and outrage and them doing the 5th power thing. I'd rather they revisit the power unlocks by changing it so you don't have to have so many prereqs or wait until 47 to get things. I feel as though epics should feel, well, epic and not just be another lame prereq fest, especially so late in your career.

And there are far worse outliers than Body Mastery. Controller epics have their AoE attacks coming anywhere from 41 (instant unlock/use) to 47 (requiring two powers and faced with a shortage of slots). Plus Blaster Elec which for no apparent reason gets its tier 9 power at 44 while Force has to wait until 47. And the one that bugs me the most, that villains get armors at 41 while heroes get theirs at 44. Of course, villains also usually have to wait until 47 for holds, while most heroes get them at 41. *shrug* vv

I'd rather see the tier system die entirely, or at the very least go to a 2-tier instead of 3-tier, than have any drama unload from having powers replaced. Only good things can come out of having powers available earlier with less requirements. Lots of bad things can come from replacing or reordering powers.

In my head I would probably swap around Dom to have Blaster and MM to have Controller. Other than that, it's a FAIRLY straightforward port. There would be a few duplicates, but they can work that out in the process.

My expectation is that they'll get APPs, and that blue ATs going redside will still get the same APPs they've always had. Somewhere down the line, maybe in a later issue, we'll get PPPs for redside blues, and maybe even PPPs for everyone blueside. APPs are the logical first step though, because they can follow you anywhere, not being tied to any missions or story.

It'd also be neat to have it so everyone automatically gets APPs when they hit 40 and ALREADY have a nice selection of epics to pick from, but can go one step extra and unlock PPPs to have even more. Would also be a nice solution for those of us who hate dropping everything to grind out PPP arcs every time we hit 40.

I haven't checked everything, but it seems that -RES, -DEF, -speed, and -RECH are the same. Heal is of course weaker due to HP, but heal/HP powers tend to vary even between Controller/Corruptor. I haven't looked at every other effect, but regen/recov seem to be the same (for what few powers there are that do those).

I know for certain that DMG and ToHit powers will vary (and be weaker) for MMs. -END also seems to vary, even though -recov doesn't.

Just imagine how trivial Honoree, Statesman, and the others would be if you could easily toss out an unresistable -40% RES.

Sorry, I must've misread what you said. What I was trying to say was that Controllers, Corruptors, and MMs all share the same values. Some earlier posts suggesting numbers were showing some awfully low numbers for MMs on slow and RES debuff powers.
