Fleeting Whisper

You asked for a "zone event triggered by a mission". I linked you to a mission ("Stop the Rikti") which triggers a zone event (Rikti World Invasion, specifically classified as a "zone event" in this game).

You asked for a zone event. I showed you a zone event. If you want instanced missions that anyone can join (which... um... kinda defeats the purpose of being instanced... That's kinda like having multiple copies of a Singleton class...) you should say what you mean.

As I recall, this subject came up about a year ago, and Hero 1 posted something along the lines of "Oh yeah, I guess we should do something for that".

I'm not sure if that was an "Oh, ****! We forgot all about it!" or an "Heheh, you guys have no idea", but he has made a comment on the subject

However, since the time capsule has shown up in the story again as of I15, I doubt it's the former.

I think I was unclear in my previous post. The slows from Rooted and Granite are resistable, as Uun point out with the links to City of Data. The relevant entries are:
Rooted--
* RunSpeed -0.9 for 0.75s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs]
Effect does not stack from same caster
Granite--
* RunSpeed -0.7 for 0.75s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs]
Effect does not stack from same caster
* RechargeTime -65% for 0.75s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs]
Effect does not stack from same caster

Note that neither speed debuff nor the recharge debuff is flagged with [Non-resistable]

Speed Boost does target speed debuffs, in addition to buffing your speed:
* RechargeTime +50% for 120s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs] [Non-resistable]
Effect does not stack from same caster
* Recovery, RunSpeed, FlySpeed +0.5 for 120s [Non-resistable]
Effect does not stack from same caster
* RES(RechargeTime) +50% for 120s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs] [Non-resistable]
Effect does not stack from same caster
* RES(RunSpeed, FlySpeed) +175% for 120s [Non-resistable]
Effect does not stack from same caster

Regarding Arctic Air (a PBAoE slow/confuse/stealth debuff in Ice Control), I think you meant Arctic Fog (a PBAoE stealth/def buff/Fire-Cold-Energy res buf/slow res buff in Cold Domination):
* RES(RunSpeed, RechargeTime, FlySpeed, JumpHeight, SpeedJumping) +60% for 0.75s [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs] [Non-resistable]
Effect does not stack from same caster

Resistance to slows follows the same formula as resistance to damage, that is: 100% resistance negates the slow entirely. SB grants 175% slow resistance (negating the Granite/Rooted debuff) and 50% recharge resistance (halving the Granite debuff), in addition to +50% speed and recharge. This means that a Granite+Rooted Tanker with SB and no other speed modifiers will move at the same speed as someone without any speed modifiers except SB.

If Granite/Rooted were unresistable, the Stone Armor character would still be moving slower under SB, effectively being at -110% speed (SB - Granite - Rooted) and -15% recharge (SB - Granite), rather than +50% speed (SB - 0 * Granite - 0 * Rooted) and +17.5% recharge (SB - 0.5 * Granite). SB, without slow resistance, is incapable of negating the speed debuffs placed on a Stone Armor character.

Stone Armor characters do move faster while within Arctic Fog: they increase their speed from -160% to -64%. Of course, -speed is floored at -90%, so the increase in speed is actually only by 26% of the base speed which is something like 14.xxx mph. 26% of 14 is 3.64, less than Swift with no enhancements.

Looking back at the example with SB, notice that without the speed resistance, a Stone Armor character is still at -110% speed, but the speed floor is -90%. If Granite/Rooted were unresistable, Speed Boost would not change the final movement speed of a Stone Armor character at all.

Incorrect; slow resistance from any source will reduce your debuff from Granite/Rooted until you hit 100% resistance. However, as shown above with the effects of Arctic Fog, the effects of speed resistance on a Stone Armor character may not be very apparent.




So, yeah... everyone who said I was wrong? Well, I may have been unclear, and I didn't show my work, but I am correct.

Yeah, that would be awesome, wouldn't it?

On the contrary, -1 level and x8 team size is your best chance at getting purples (when you're high enough level for -1s to drop purples) over time, because you can defeat more things faster.

I assume it's a low-priority bug.

I believe there are fan-run SWG servers from pre-NGE days.

Truth be told, I have idly contemplated a MMO with an open source client. Could be interesting

Very, I imagine.

They don't sell CoH-specific time cards any more, unless you're referring to the Game Card, which is not quite the same thing as a time card?

DR has always been free to play.

It's a trap!

Because the HTML for the hero skin includes it, and the HTML for the villain skin doesn't. Duh.

Yeah, I had a full team, chatty /boardcast, and lag spikes at the market on Freedom just last Thursday. Now it's possible that Freedom's activity has been reduced by two orders of magnitude in the past 6 days, but unlikely.

It's long if you kill everything. But since you're given an 80ft stealth toggle that does not suppress when you click a glowie (enough to be invisible to everything in the zone except for turrets), I always stealth that mission unless I'm on a team.

Fixed your link. Wikia is no longer being updated by Paragonwiki regulars, as Paragonwiki has moved.

Funny story: Someone tried to neg rep me again for the same reason, but apparently failed and just gave me a gray dot instead.
