I wouldn't bother binding +turnleft or +turnright because they still require a forward or backward movement to actually go anywhere. I also don't usually strafe much without also going forward or backward, so I skip that also. If you bound both forward and side directions, and happened to be pressing both at the same time, then it would detoggle the ninja run instead of keeping it active.. which defeats the purpose of the bind.

And there IS an option for setting it up on the WASD keys without messing up the standard binds. It just takes a couple bind files, and a key to toggle it on and off: (sod stands for Speed On Demand)

SodON.txt
W "+forward$$powexecname Ninja Run"
S "+backward$$powexecname Ninja Run"
CTRL+TAB bindloadfile SodOFF.txt

SodOFF.txt
W "+forward"
S "+backward"
CTRL+TAB bindloadfile SodON.txt

Obviously replace CTRL+TAB with whatever key you want to use to toggle the Speed On Demand set on and off.

I agree. Rom only has 3 pets, meaning he can only rez 3 times.. and you will have defeated him only 4 times by the end.

How do you get a 9 month badge in just 2 months?

PS - your forum account says August, and that's still only 6 months.

Considering that I count myself lucky if I get 4 of them by the time I reach 400 rep, a 10 minute timer would be the least of my worries.. lol

On a side note.. I just realized that my average of 4 by the time i get 400 rep is fairly consistent with a drop rate of 1/100.. which is good i guess.

His scripts, or his reading comprehension? lol j.k

That's why I said enhancement, and not power. The main quote said "at all times, regardless of the power".. but you're right.. the example does clarify it further.

I always forget those.. lol

That power (and similar ones, melee cones) don't take Range enhancements.. but something like [Energy Torrent] (A ranged Cone), would benefit from it, yes.

An exception to this is that you lose the bonus when you EX lower than three levels below the enhancements.

A further exemption is that bonuses from "Purple" sets always remain active at lower levels as well.

Then, to make it even more complicated.. there are also special IOs that include a bonus independently, and those are only active as long as the power is active.

I'm not sure.. I remember the Team/Tell issue I described above happening shortly after i12, yes, making more people start to notice it... but I do remember global channels acting this way at some point before that as well.

Sounds like what Ten__ said was correct then, which means it looks like you'll have to use those servers directly to test your scripts.

Nope. They fixed the "-1" issue, but only by the fact that it's locked at "+0" now instead. I used to love running it on the highest rating and kill everything on the map, but it's been a long time since we've been able to do that... ever since they removed "Invincible" and added the specialized settings. *pouts

IF it were possible to get it in the future, then YES, it would add another 5 points to your maximum endurance on top of your other bonus... just like Portal Jockey does when combined with your Atlas Medallion.

I agree with this. My conclusion is that it's an ALL or NOTHING for badge credit. It seems that if the end result of an attack leaves you within your base hp range, then the entire hit will count, which follows the results you describe in your example.

On a side note, I've also seen "wonky" results with any credit. My hypothesis is that the badge progress status bar is not actually an exact number but a rough estimation, which makes it look like one hit caused more credit than the other. Fact is, the progress bar seems to "tick" just like it always had before, and there seems to be specific increments that it hits along the way, which still gives us a better idea of our progress, but could vary by a few points either way.

I am hoping for the day when we get to run this as an Invincible Kill-All again. Those were fun.

As for this specific event... you know I can't promise Thursdays, but grab me if you see me.

The Longbow and turrets have to actually be hit at least once before they become active, and I've found that even once they do, they actually don't make much of a difference.

I get mine from the Fab though too.. usually on a team of 3 or 4 to make it easier.

This.

My bar moved much faster when I upgraded my processor and RAM, even while connecting to the same server on the same time of day. (I play on Freedom also.)

Like Adeon Hawkwood said, Freedom is one of the highest populations, so it may be possible your system doesn't like a bunch of players being around while you are trying to zone in. Then again, if it does the same thing while you are tying to zone into a mission (where no other players would be), then you can't use that excuse, and you'd probably get the same behavior from other servers too.
