Pool Power Customization might be a stretch of an assumption at this point. Primary and Secondary powers might as well be confirmed though.

[/ QUOTE ]I think people would scream bloody murder if pool powers couldn't be customized, and I think the devs know this. The only powers I can image won't be alterable are MM Henchmen and temporary powers, and even those are up in the air.

[/ QUOTE ]Because it's such a surprise when you get sent on tour and as soon as the decision is made you get teleported across the sea with no chance to set things up for when you're gone...?

Had a friend try and use her on a villian and it said that she can not trust the motives of villians.. lol so it looks as if only heroes can level in pocket D.

Actually would be happy if a villain could use war witch also don't need another trainer just the ability for both to use the trainer.

[/ QUOTE ] wow. that's kinda unexpected.. but funny actually. If she can't trust villains, why is she in PD? lol

[/ QUOTE ]

isn't the version or War Wtich that's there a villain in the first place?

[/ QUOTE ]No, the one in PD is simply alive, as opposed to the one in Croatoa which is a ghost.

I wholeheartedly agree. I've never won a single contest.

1) A power is up for a 2 minute duration but then has a 4 minute downtime. (In other words, the power lasts for 2 mins but has a 6 min recharge) -- The uptime is 25% of the time with a 75% downtime. How do I do this calculation?

[/ QUOTE ]Why do you say it's 25% uptime? If it's up 2 minutes out of every 6 (disregarding activation time), that's 33.33...% uptime

If you're ignoring activation time, uptime should be Duration / Recharge, and downtime should be (Recharge - Duration) / Recharge, or alternatively, 1 - Uptime. 2min duration, 6min recharge would be 33.33...% uptime and 66.66...% downtime.

Besides netbooks are meant to just use the web and little else. They're not meant to play fully-fledged games on, and anyone who buys a netbook expecting to do so is a moron.

Most likely, you'll only be able to change the color of powers, not remove the effects. However, if the color tinting blends in the same way as the Auras do, setting the color to Black will make it nearly invisible.

I had the combat attribute window show 2 additonal resistance debuffs

[/ QUOTE ]Did you look at the total debuff? Per pohsyb, the totals in the CA are correct: they're pulled directly from your character's stats. The breakdown of those totals are often incorrect or misleading, because they're actually being interpreted from the list of powers affecting you. It's entirely possible that the effect was listed twice in the CA window, but only one was actually having an effect.

[ QUOTE ]
One caveat on the time limit - I believe there is no time limit as long as your account is active. If you let it lapse, the 60-day limit is probably in force.

[/ QUOTE ]Unless something changed recently that I haven't noticed, the time limit's still there, and has been since the market opened. It has nothing to do with whether your account is active, but whether your character accesses the market server.

You need to access the market server at least once every 60 days, or else you stuff will be deleted. Accessing the market server can be either opening the market screen, or getting a notification that one of your items sold/you bought an item. Simply logging in isn't enough, unless an item has been bought/sold since your last login.

IIRC You can get the half the crafting cost back if you sell them during a respec.

[/ QUOTE ]It's the memorized crafting cost, which isn't always exactly half (but it's usually close)

The 100% base damage is considered part of the buff in the game mechanics equations. That's why it's listed the way it is in the wiki.

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, I believe it's more likely because the devs presented the damage caps in those terms in things like patch notes. But it's not like the devs have always been consistent with their terminology (like "accuracy"), or as clear as they could be (see "slow" versus "snare"). For instance, the Combat Attributes window in the game shows buff only, without the 100% base.

[/ QUOTE ]The CA window tries to present things in laymen's terms. Paragonwiki and Red Tomax generally present things in terms of actual mechanics.

Well why can't they make it not to throw bananas? And I didn't exactly want colour customization.

[/ QUOTE ]

And now you need to do some research on how the game performs the various power animations in order to answer those questions because I don't feel like explaining it to someone who doesn't know the least bit about how the game engine actually operates again. You may as well be asking why the energy blasts animate as they do, electrical blasts look the way they do, and every other variant thereof involved ranged animations.

[/ QUOTE ]IE: Because the weapon customization code can't change the look of projectiles.

[ QUOTE ]
Um, no you can't. You cannot /architect in missions or in an SG base.

It's why I'm asking for the ability to.

[/ QUOTE ]That screenshot doesn't show you with the AE macro button, nor doing the ;matablet emote, so I've got to ask: Does that character have the accolade? If not, then of course you can't use /architect in your base.

I'm fairly certain he's just a Gunslinger elevated to AV status. The robots pets that appear during the fight are spawned by the mission (a la ambushes), not by the AV himself.

No, "positional resistance" is not possible, without making significant changes to the game. Technically, there's no such thing as "positional defense", either, there's just Defense that happens to be called Ranged_Defense which helps to protect you from an attack vector that happens to be called Ranged_Attack. They could just as easily be called Fluffy_Defense, which protects you from White_Attack, and they would act exactly the same. We call it positional because most offensive powers have one of the three "positional" attack vectors, and because of how they're named.

20% chance for 25% debuff that lasts for 10.25s Link

As to your second concern, Deflated Ego A is apparently enhancing your recovery, rather than your tohit. If you had a power that allows -tohit sets and modifies recovery, it would enhance the recovery in that power (though I can't think of any such power, offhand). Definitely a bug.

[ QUOTE ]
my real question then is whether Caltrops counts as an auto (since it is a pet) and procs every 10 secs, or if it is merely a click attack and procs on cast?

[/ QUOTE ]As I said, Caltrops summons Pets.Caltrops, which has an auto power called Pets.Caltrops.Caltrops

Possible? Yes. There's nothing stopping a character from having more than 2 powersets, except the interface. (Well, technically according to the game, power pools and APP/PPPs are also powersets, so each player has 4-7 powersets). Several critters display such ability to have multiple powersets, and I've seen a screenshot of Sexy Jay in-game, where he had every single Blaster power on a single character.

Kind of like most threads
