Eek a Mouse

I thought the NDA had been lifted.

If I were only slotting SOs (which I never, ever do) I would go:

ACC, END, RECH, DAM, DAM, DAM

for the vast majority of my powers. If I felt the need to slot two accuracy enhancements (heaven forbid THREE!), then I'd think about getting Tactics or the +ACC proc or just slotting Set IOs with accuracy bonuses.

Considering the IO sets I end up with, I almost always have WAY overkill on accuracy. I'm talking +60% in the power and a global of +40%.

Not sure if this is what you mean. My Yellow bind looks like:

inspexecname "insight"$$inspexecname "keen_insight"$$inspexecname "uncanny_insight"

So when I hit that bind it executes a small yellow. If there is no small yellow it eats a medium, and if there are no mediums available it uses a large.

I don't know of any way you can make pressing a button eat ONLY an "Insight" and never touch a "Keen Insight" or "Uncanny Insight"

Without purchasing Going Rogue you will be able to do Tip missions, however you will NOT get the Morality missions which are required to move your character from one alignment to another. For you, Tip missions would be treated similar to newspaper/radio missions. Just extra content.

Players who do Tip missions WILL still receive credit on their Tip progress meters, so if you purchase GR after doing 10 Tip missions you will be able to do a Morality mission right away.

almost all of my controls are different from the base because I learned my habits in Everquest, which used the numpad for movement.

So I have one hand on the numpad for moving and one hand on the keyboard for power activation. I never run out of keys, but it does mean that anything that requires the mouse is kind of annoying. So I try to avoid using the mouse for anything. I have tons of targeting macros that I move around depending on the enemy group I am fighting. I try to keep the mouse cursor in a central spot so I can just reach over to tap the button to open doors. Placing targeted powers like Oil Slick or Shield Charge is about the only time I really need to grab the mouse.

Everquest had the "u" (for "use") key, which basically was the equivalent of mouse clicking the exact center of your screen. Whatever was there would be interactded with as if you had clicked on it. An NPC would talk to you, a door would open, a body would be looted, etc. If there were a keyboard button or slash command that simulated clicking on the door or glowie in front of you, I'd be a very happy camper.

Aegis missile defense system is usually pronounced "EE-jiss"

I pronounce Praetoria as "pree-TOHR-ee-uh" although in English an unstressed syllable is usually pronounced lazily and it comes out as "pruh-TOHR-ee-uh"

Well, now I'm sorry I even started this thread. Funny how my writing this thread led to Fury Flechette posting in the OTHER thread, which led to a death threat that caused the threatening person to be banned.

Please don't make me the catalyst of yet another banning.

I like punny names, so I'd vote for something along the lines of

Disarmed
Unarmed 'n Dangerous
Armless ('armless, H.armless, Hero: Armless, Formerly Armless)
Heavily Armed
Bearing Arms
Re-armed

I don't hide because I see no need to. I get almost no blind invites, and very few cold calls to join a team. I do get a number of polite requests to join a team, almost all of which I turn down with no issues. I've never had a "Rude Tell".

I don't want to hide because I hate the thought of new people coming to CoH and seeing no one when they search.

I was reading a thread in the General Discussions forum called What would your pet project be if you were a Dev? In this thread someone suggested setting a cap on the prices of everything in the market. The suggested cap in this post was 100k inf.

I posted to ask if he meant 100 million, and he responded that his suggestion of 100,000 was correct. I briefly explained why this was not workable and he basically said "I don't care". I was prepared to write him off as an anomaly when another person posted pretty much the same thing: add a cap to the market to stop the "greed".

So I was wondering, how many people do you think actually believe that this is a viable method for the market to work?

Yeah, I am leaning that way myself. I started thinking of it as like "brand name", "What's your brand?", "The Devil's Brand".

Haven't had much of a chance to play lately though. Summers are so busy. Anyone who sees me is encouraged to say hi! I did join Justice United and chatted a bit on Thursday after I got unsilenced.

Princess Amazonas, my Katana scrapper, is 15 and fun to play.

Soooo, does that mean that @Kaliya is around, but still using The Devil's Mark?

Patience totally pays. i just started a new character on a new server, so I didn't have the supergroup storage from which to pillage loot. I also decided against twinking her out with gifts from my other characters.

In the course of getting to level 10, she collected a few Luck Charms, Spiritual Essences, and other valuable salvage. Rather than save them until 12 and use them to craft, she sold them, which netted about 200,000 inf. She then put bids on level 15 IOs (Accuracy, Damage, Recharge, EndRdx, Heal, Defense... the biggies), all of them at 2,222 or 5,555 inf. Most of them were purchased within hours. All of them filled overnight. At level 12 she was able to fully slot IOs and have all planned IOs to take her to 17. In a couple of levels she'll bid on her level 20 IOs.

After that it will be mostly recipes and crafting herself. Although I do expect her to be rather flush with cash after she turns in her merits and tickets at level 20.

EDIT: Oh, bear in mind that all of my experience with this is blueside. I play redside very rarely.

There is no targeting bind to click on a door, or a glowie. It is my pet peeve, as I rarely use the mouse for anything except a dropped power and clicking a door/glowie.

EverQuest has a "Use" command that simulates a mouse click on whatever is in the center of your screen. If it is a door, it opens; an item gets picked up; an enemy gets selected. I wish CoX had that.

Also note that many people sell the common IO recipes on the market for MORE than the recipes cost at the crafting table. There's no sense paying 50,000 inf for a recipe at the Auction House when you can just buy it at the crafting table for 35,000.

Haste is usually a noun. Its verb form is listed in my dictionary as archaic. You make haste, perform with haste, feel a need for haste, and are in haste.

Therefore, "Haste" is what the power Hasten gives you, and it is parallel to "Accuracy", "Damage", and "Endurance Reduction". Recharge is a verb.

I do agree that "Recharge" in that spot would be less confusing, as many sources of increased recharge speed exist beyond Hasten. However grammatically it doesn't fit on the list.

Eek a PumBumbler!
