Though honesty compels me to note that if they were to post here more frequently, there is less likely to be a negative slant on our opinions of them, as it would give us more opportunity to get to know their posting styles, rather than being the faceless entities that they are right now to many of us (except the few here who spend some of their time on the US forums, too).


[/ QUOTE ]This is very true. While actually insulting devs obviously shouldn't happen, I do think people have some right to be annoyed by the fact that we do receive less dev attention (disproportionately to the player amounts), even though we actually pay higher subs (no, we don't technically pay for dev comments, but that doesn't really make any difference in practice).

Without inspirations/temps?

[/ QUOTE ]Why would you do anything without insps? I can understand not using temp. powers, they're either finite or take work to get, but T1 insps are practically free.

[ QUOTE ]

f I was an NCNC dev, and I thought I had reason to believe I'd be met with hostility, I wouldn't visit here either. I'd suggest that in at least two cases (BAB and Jay) that's a reasonable belief to hold, and that's going to flow through to the rest of the dev team. It's that simple.

[/ QUOTE ]BaB is pretty open about using the ignore function on the US boards, I don't see why he couldn't do the same here.

That is, assuming people are allowed to throw personal insults, which the forum moderators should be preventing, right?

Re: the invite crash - that's a relatively new bug, as far as I'm aware, which the team are aware of and will fix as soon as they have a working fix.

[/ QUOTE ]It's at least over a year old, probably two, but I can't quite remember when I encountered it the first time.

The broken mission location in Mercy that was mentioned has also been there since CoV beta.

[/ QUOTE ]

Prior to the last patch, if you got an invite when starting to zone you would get a message 'unknown command' something or other and the invite would need to be reset. Now the game client crashes instead.

[/ QUOTE ]It depends on what point in the loading process you're at when you get the invite. I've managed to consitently crash people with invites at least a year (more likely two or so) ago.

Ouroboros

[/ QUOTE ]
True, but you'll get the limited duration (5 minutes?) one instead of the regular 2 hours version.


[/ QUOTE ]Shouldn't you get the normal version when you do it the first time, even through Ouroboros? Or did they scrap that idea?

[ QUOTE ]

When he got there, though, I found that he'd outleveled the zone (its capped at 35, he's 38) so Operative Massey wasn't offering it.

[/ QUOTE ]It's actually L20-L30.

And no, there's no way for you to get it anymore, contacts look at your security level rather than combat level, so exemplaring won't help.

They could put them into some sort of forum FAQ...Maybe one built right into the forums themselves...Now there's a good idea.

[ QUOTE ]
No but if the left arm has the shield on it Shadow Maul will look daft for a start, waving it around like an idiot. I wouldn't like to see it with DM

[/ QUOTE ]I'd assume they do something alternative for that, seeing that the animation is shared by Flurry and Sands of Mu.

[ QUOTE ]
are there anymore powers that i could take that would give me more resist damage/defence?

[/ QUOTE ]Defence, yes, but you'll never reach amounts where it'd be useful, especially not without spending a few hundred million inf on top-tier SIO's.

Resistance? No powers that'd help with that, just some SIO's.

Weave is a pointless waste of endurance if you don't have significant defences to stack it with (and as a fire armour scrapper, you never will). CJ is the same, really, but it's cheap to run and offers in-combat mobility, so can be taken for those (plus if you want SJ, it's a lot better pre-req than jump kick).

Focus and Evis are must-have powers that you should take as soon as possible. Especially since you want a ST damage build.

If you have Health, slot it there, if not, slot it in Fast healing.

There's no VIP power, just the badge.

[ QUOTE ]

I have a repeatable attack chain with only 3 damage attacks from my secondary there's no need for more than that because i would have them queuing, now if i had taken all of the available attacks and no taunt....well it wouldn't make me a better tank would it.

[/ QUOTE ]ST attack chain? How about AoE?

[ QUOTE ]
Btw, which 4 items are you referring to? I know that City of Heroes Deluxe gives you the prestige power (slide), the teleport power to PocketD, VIP Badge and cape.

[/ QUOTE ]Pocket D TP is for GvE, not CoH Deluxe

[ QUOTE ]

talking to a friend once who was describing a computer problem and he comes out with the phrase "and the drive was just filled with a huge 100.2 gig T X T file" ... seriously, why say the letters TXT.... it stands for TEXT.. dropping a vowel and adding two syllables does NOT make it shorter!

[/ QUOTE ]Because a "TXT file" clearly means .txt, while a "text file" could be .txt, .doc, .odf, or several other formats.

[ QUOTE ]
it's better to just make the GM names red above the character, so you know for sure.

[/ QUOTE ]With 95% of your petitions, you're not going to ever actually see the GM, just talk to them through tells or (out-of-game-)e-mail, so that's fairly pointless.

[ QUOTE ]

tbh most tanks ive seen without taunt ive seen seem to have scranker builds, i can always tell how seriously someone takes there responsibility as a tank by the amount of offensive moves they have

[/ QUOTE ]And it never occurred to you that those moves might be there for the times when aggro control doesn't require much effort?

I very much doubt it is going to be anything Set-breaking or outside of ED

[/ QUOTE ]ED affects only enhancements and nothing else, and that's all it will ever do.

[/ QUOTE ]

Consider somebody is already at 'Ultimate/Ultimate Improved Regeneration' or 'Ultimate Health' and they log out in a Hospital as a caregiver profession, they will get more regen/health? or will it be cancelled out as at the Cap?

[/ QUOTE ]They'll get more until they hit the caps for those attributes, yes. Which isn't too hard for max HP, but is nearly impossible (without outside buffs) in the case of regen.

[/ QUOTE ]

Even at it's best, it's got a 2+ second cast time, it's not exactly the continuous DPS of a DB Scapper in blender-mode.

[/ QUOTE ]Well, the casting times aren't really much different from our attack animation times.

Quick question about Earth, with 3 recharge IO's and Hasten the time is reduced on quicksand to 11 seconds recharge, on a power that lats 45 seconds can anyone tell me if it stacks from the same user?

[/ QUOTE ]The summoned entity itself is considered the user (this applies to all summons), so yes, it will stack.

Whats the slow cap ? Cause i am also taking lingering radiation.

Who said that heroes use metal bullets in their guns? Rubber bullets do not normally kill (unless they hit the wrong spot), but a normal thug would eventually pas out from the pain if hit by enough.

[/ QUOTE ]My flamethrower also uses rubber fire

And there aren't really any "normal thugs" in the game. Even skulls and hellions have some superpowers.

[/ QUOTE ]
The Warriors?

Pretty much all highly trained thugs with weapons - their EB Heracles is the only one I can recall using any sort of power, and even that was just a single armour toggle courtesy of a stolen item.

[/ QUOTE ]They're involved in a magic artifact smuggling ring with the hellions and the outcasts, making it likely that their members have make use of some as well. Their bracelets especially seem like they might well be enchanted.
