You know what I want the most? A Josh "Shag" Agle -themed booster pack. Costume parts, mostly: fezz hat, -
What do you expect? If I'd been dissed by Mr. Incredible like that, I'd be grouchy too.

Quote:"Unfair"???Originally Posted by Lohenien
The whole point is, not everyone can or will be able to make up for their powersets unfair weaknesses.
Invuln is one of the tougher sets in the game. No one should be able to stroll through high-end content with no assistance except maybe a stone tank, who pays for it with horrific penalties to movement, damage and recharge.
The weaknesses of invuln are reasonable and balanced. -
For whatever reason, those are very expensive compared to the Steadfast and Karma -knockback IO's. Maybe it's because just about everyone has a travel power so they are more convenient to slot.

Quote:I wasn't even counting the Warburg Technicians. Regular hostages have a degree of variability in dealing with stealthed characters. The Warburg Technicians will follow you unerringly even if you are running full invisibility.Originally Posted by NordBlast
I think, there are different hostage AIs, so experience might be different for different hostages. For example AI for Warburg techs would comletely ignore stealth and tech will follow you no matter what, unless you moving too fast.

Quote:Hardly.Originally Posted by The_Alt_oholic
Paying for the prestige sprint. Paying for a power like this is a step in the wrong direction for this game. The Ninja Sprint is far superior to sprint and gives what appears to be even greater advantages than Combat Jumping.
1) It costs approx double the END of Sprint and MANY TIMES what Combat Jumping costs.
2) Ninja Run suppresses in combat. Neither Sprint nor CJ suppress in combat. -
To clarify and expand on the two previous posts:
When you are OUTSIDE a mission, the person used to calculate all SSK levels is the TEAM LEADER.
When you are INSIDE a mission, the person used to calculate all SSK levels is the MISSION OWNER.
Example, you are level 50 and have the star. Everyone else on the team is a lower level and are SSK'ed to 49. You enter a mission belonging to someone who is level 40. When you enter the mission, your level drops to 40 even though you retain the star. Everyone else is either SK'ed up or exemped down to the level 40 mission owner. The actual level of the mission is based on the mission owner and his/her difficulty settings. -
Quote:Um, actually we *DO* know their motivation. Go do the arcs in the Rikti War Zone, particularly Dark Watcher's and read all the text. We know EXACTLY why they attacked and it has nothing do with planetary conquest. Well, actually it kind of does, but it wasn't the Rikti planning the conquest. I can say no more!Originally Posted by Hydrofoil_Zero
As for the riki thing it seams I got them mixed up with the Nictus. But the theory still stands there is no realy moral alignment for planetary conquest since we don't know there motives and there not from ether detention.

Quote:It would, but stop harping on it here since we can't do anything about it.Originally Posted by TRTerror
Would be nice if they i at least responded.
1) Have you received any emails from NCSoft lately? Are you sure they have your correct address on file and are not being blocked by a spam filter?
2) When you say no badges after Trailblazer count toward your total, do you mean:
a. A progress bar for the next 'number of badges' badge has not appeared? If so, there is no 'number of badges' badge after Trailblazer.
b. Or do you mean that the total displayed at the top of your personal info window is not updating any more? -
Quote:I believe that to be the case. We've always gone in with the assumption that the tank will get stunned unless we have multiple Clear Minds (or equivalent) stacked. Unless I'm misremembering, just about any tank can handle it with 4+ Clear Minds stacked. I've never experimented to see how many it needs, but I THINK I've seen a tank weather it with only four.Originally Posted by Shard_Warrior
It could be possible that the in-game information is incorrect, which would mean this is bugged to that extent.

Quote:SOME do. There appear to be various types of hostages/escorts and, for lack of a better term, some are stupid.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
Actually the current hostages seem to detect you through stealth just fine. My Blaster has full PvE stealth and I have never had any problems with hostages following me despite keeping it turned on all the time.

Quote:But what if we want to be rich in spirit?Originally Posted by Nethergoat
So, wealth building remains a comically simple endeavor. If you want to be game rich, all it takes is a tiny bit of effort.

Quote:Allow me to point out that such a policy is ALREADY in place. We're just discussing adjustments to the length of time inactive and character level to be immune to name loss.Originally Posted by Blood Spectre
Seriously... sometimes people who leave for a long time come back. Knowing that those characters are exactly as they left them is a draw for those lapsed players to return. You are suggesting that NC would burn that bridge to appease a customer who, let's face it, is rather unlikely to leave over the matter?
Or, let me put it like this. If I took a year off from this game, under this policy, I'd never return. -
Quote:You mean like when they announced the revamp of base editing that fell through? I don't expect stuff to get announced until it's relatively close to release - i.e. they know it works.Originally Posted by Fire_Away
Now let's compound the situation. This "big reveal" hits a snag. Now, have you not only torqued off the people who wanted something other than base raids in the first place... now you have disappointed everybody who heard about (and prepared for) raids to return.

Quote:Staying dead for 2 minutes sends you to the hospital automatically.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
Zones... I'm not sure. You can self-rez, if you want (and get killed again - thus the farms,) go to the hospital - I *thought* I remembered seeing a note about an automatic hospital trip, but don't quote me on it.

Is this intended and if so when did it happen?
The only exception was when villains crashed the wedding of Manticore and Sister Psyche. -
Quote:Gas attacks. You could have a choking gas, a sleep gas, etc. There's even an example in film - The Spleen in 'Mystery Men'.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
I'd be willing to take this suggestion more seriously if you can provide a definition for a "natural control powerset."

Many supermarket receipts have heavily truncated entries that aren't always understandable.

Quote:When they refer to 'inactive accounts', the devs mean accounts that have allowed the subscription to lapse, i.e. 'unpaid'.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
I'm actually not against P_P's idea, especially since it gives an out for those who are out of their home country in active military service.
Though, I would propose to make it purge names from accounts that were unpaid (rather than inactive, since people do pop in for the increasingly-frequent "Free Activation Weekends") for more than a year, rather than 6 months. -

Technically I think Triage Beason and Oil Slick are classified as pets, but they are more limited. Controllers with Plant Control (primary) also have access to a Spirit Tree with +regen aura. It falls under that gray area of limited, stationary pets.No. The term 'pseudo pet' is used when, in order to achieve specific effects, a power spawns a 'pseudo pet', which can neither be seen nor targeted, which then fires off the powers. This has led to some problems in the past since, from your point of view, you're firing the power but, from the game's point of view, your pet is firing the power.Quote:Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
The term used is "Psuedo-pets"

Quote:I would estimate the drop rate for PvP recipes to be much higher. Perhaps in the ballpark of 1 in 50.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
I believe the PVP recipe drop rate is equivalent to the chances of a minion dropping a rare (orange) recipe. I can't recall off the top of my head the chance of that, though... 1 in 500 sounds about right, but I'm sure someone will be along shortly to correct me.

Praetorian Earth is *NOT* a 'mirror universe' where everything is reversed. It is an 'alternate universe' where many things happen to be reversed but many are simply different.Quote:Originally Posted by Moldiver

Right off, what brand of power supply? I read a review of PSU's once where they drew more and more power until they 'shut down'. Some 400W PSU's 'shut down' by bursting into flames at about 350W draw. The best model was able to produce 495W before triggering a circuit breaker and shutting down gracefully.
