Fleeting Whisper

So, fix it. It's a wiki -- anyone can edit it to make it better. In fact, just earlier this evening I added the page for My Other Selves (Villain Morality Mission), since it was missing from the wiki.

I'm going to quote the wiki on the subject, and you tell me what's difficult to understand or inadequate instruction:



As for where to find tips, I like to just street sweep in an area where the minimum level is 20 (IIRC, tips can only drop from level 20+ enemies, as well as requiring the player to be 20+, which is not mentioned on the page I quoted). For villains, Sharkhead Isle is a good place for this. For Heroes, Talos Island.

Incorrect. Intangibility is like Knockback in that enhancements increase magnitude instead of duration.

That's exactly what appears to be going on, based on that combat log. The real question is why it's set up that way.

I've seen it be very useful on several superteams, such as the Fire/Rads (8 copies of Hotfeet and Choking Cloud suddenly enveloping the enemy is very effective). In those cases, it's also helpful to spread the aggro evenly, rather than an alpha strike on one single person. When I was on the Traps superteam, I also discovered that if I hit the button for Trip Mine, Acid Mortar, or Poison Trap right as I noticed our teleporter starting his animation, the pet would appear right as we finished the teleport, rather than leaving the pet behind or having to wait for the animation to finish.

On a team that's coordinated and expecting it, Team Teleport can distribute and diffuse alpha strikes, and accelerate the team's speed (cutting out the time to travel between spawns). On most teams, it can be a hindrance.

You're right, I forgot. I haven't played a villain in that level range in a long time, and my heroes usually end up missing the Safeguards after King's Row. (And Praetorians don't get it.)

Very well, very well. I submit fibb(BB(A(G, G))), where fibb(n) produces the nth number in the Fibbonacci sequence. p.o

I enjoy assassinating people with a scythe.
I've got an Assassin/Dervish with about an 87% chance to crit (and wielding a scythe, which has the inherent ability to hit 3 targets). Each time I crit, I gain energy and renew one of the enchantments buffing my crit chance, and renew a enchantment giving me extra armor. And each time I hit, for each target I hit (whether I crit or not), I do extra PBAoE damage as well. Hitting 3 targets means 5 ticks of damage on each of them, and 3 ticks of damage on everything else near me. Large groups melt pretty fast.

GW's death penalty only affects max health and energy, not your attributes. The only debuff to attributes is the Weakened condition, which reduces you attributes by 1 and damage by 66%, and that can't stack. (And the longest possible Weakened condition is 50.54s, and that's coming from a Necromancer with multiple temporary and permanent buffs to his Curses attribute, plus a buff to Weakened condition durations. Most Weakened condition is closer to 20s.)

Each target can have up to 5 copies of the DoT, though it doesn't matter where they came from.

And when it's the WST, it'll reward 7 more merits.

I believe he's referring to the fact that Destiny buffs get weaker over time.

I thought they said we'd be getting more powers for the existing slots before we got any more slots?

Mids' is currently written in VB.Net, though there's an effort to move it to C#, since new developers added to the team would have an easier time with it. I know Windows Phone 7 works with XNA 4.0, which is C#, but I wouldn't place bets on it simply working. There are plans for a cross-platform version of Mids' which will be written in Java, to be made available for Mac and Lunix users; a port to Android may be possible then, though it wouldn't be a straight port (Android uses XML and libraries created by Google for many things, not all of which could simply be replaced with standard Sun libraries).

I have talked with one person who is currently working on an iPhone hero builder (not currently part of the Titan Netowork). He sent me some screenshots of what he's got and it looks pretty nice, but it's not finished.

I should hope Nerve doesn't affect the recharge of any power.

A(G, G), where A is the Ackermann function and G is Graham's number.

Actually, stacking debuffs is extremely frustrating. "Hey, you failed to succeed in this encounter, so now you get to try it while you're weaker than before!"

Each time you die in Guild Wars the game adds -15% "death Penalty" debuff, which reduces your maximum health and energy; it stacks up to -60%. The only way to remove it is through various rare items (mostly, special event only items, like the four-leaf clover for St. Patrick's Day) and special abilities, killing a boss(+2%) or achieving an objective in certain missions, or gaining 75 xp (+1%). Of course, all of the death penalty debuff is removed if you visit a town or outpost, but then you have to start whatever you were doing from the beginning. This is extremely frustrating if you're trying to fight a difficult boss or a large group of heavy-hitters. Even more so if you're playing a squishy character like an Elementalist or Mesmer which get low armor and health.
(On the other hand, death penalty is essential in obtaining the Legendary Defender of Ascalon title, since the only way to obtain it is to let enemies kill you so that they level up.)

The comics are canon.

I just ran 2 BAFs back-to-back where we went for the Keep 'em Separated badge, and there was very little lag during the final fight with both AVs. Something to chew on.

(And hey, Keep 'em Separated means you get another Astral Merit at the end, hey? )

On the other hand, I start slotting common IOs at lv22 (using lv25 IOs), and I save tons of money by not upgrading those 25s (I do upgrade to lv50s when I reach 47, but lv23-46 I simply slot the levels available to me). The 25s are less than a +0 SO, but not by much.

The only things this game has that really compare to the microtransactions of a F2P game are server transfers, paid respecs, and rename tokens. The booster packs we have are not very much like the microtransactions in the fashion that most games use them.
