Well you are wrong. I've been doing respecs for over 4 years. It has always been there. When you slot your powers after you choose them those windows have been there. They always have been. I haven't been deluding myself for all this time just to bring it up now. Like I said earlier, I have been respec-ing my Doms. I just did two within the week.

[/ QUOTE ] It certainly wasn't there 4 years ago. Real numbers wasn't even around then.. and when it was added, it was only added to the one screen, not to the respec screen.

I'm not the only person who is saying this. Nobody else seems to be agreeing with you or remembering it your way.

If everybody besides you are all remembering wrong, that's fine.. so /bug it and/or make a suggestion to bring it back. Sitting here arguing about something we can't change.. wont change anything.

<QR>

Make sure you replace the winking smiley with the name of the power. lol

[ QUOTE ]
I'll second that: why do you think you need two installs?
FYI, I have two accounts and often run them simultaneously from the SAME installation/directory.

Or is there another reason? Are you referring to the test server?

[/ QUOTE ] Thirded.

You don't need a second install, unless it's a different version: Test, or EU.

[ QUOTE ]
Now we just need someone to get some data on it...

[Fetid Howl]
-Resist

The Fetid Howl has reduced your Damage Resistance.

Power Range: 100ft.
Effect Area: Cone -- 60 degree arc
AoE, smashing energy damage

-15% resistance to all damage for 8s

I forgot my wiki password, or I'd edit it myself.
Also, I pulled the info box from the chat, not from the TF, so the actual debuff may vary.

[ QUOTE ]
I checked it. It is enabled.

THIS is what I am talking about, just so we are clear. Maybe I just have not been explaining myself clear enough.

EXAMPLE

That window is what does not pop up anymore. The red tabs at the top of each column are the only way to get stats now when you do a respec.

[/ QUOTE ] Like I said before.. those popups do not display during a respec, nor do I remember them ever popping up during a respec. They are only displayed in the Enhancement Management screen like you have shown.

By request, I did it on my stalker last time, but it turns out it's not really needed because you can click the weapons from outside the doorway.. so I'm there on Robin.

[ QUOTE ]
Do you have any idea how much I want to make a point to that? but I'm not sure I can at this time, because I'm about to start drooling on my keyboard I believe. . . but I'm going to try!

So. . .let me get this straight. . .on the section where it is labeled "Recharge Rate" it is talking about your "Recharge Rate Bonus" Strictly? While on the section where it says "Damage Buff" it is talking about your over all Damage, not just the buff? #@%#$% no wonder I was confused! Good night! =]

[/ QUOTE ] LoL that's what I was trying to tell you in the first place.. the word "Buff" is misleading in that section. If you ignore it.. it all makes more sense. haha

[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for that link. I just want to know if it is a bug or not. If it isn't, then I'll be nagging someone to give me my values back. As it stands now it is a pain in the [censored].

[/ QUOTE ] Like I said.. we used to never have numbers anywhere. We are lucky we have them in the Enhancement Management screen now, but I don't remember them ever being there during a respec.

I could be wrong, but either way, maybe you can add that suggestion in the box that it be added/re-added.

[ QUOTE ]
There is a problem with this TF. See after defeating the towers, they respawn. Now there is no way we can hold recluse, kill towers and prevent the other towers from going up. We had a good team but couldn't do it yesterday

[/ QUOTE ] The problem you are describing is an issue since i15 was released.
This thread was created before i15 was released.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
The last STF I did, had the repairmen replace a defeated tower in a different location than where the original tower stood. They rebuilt it closer to where the flier patrols.

Not only that, but in our attempt, we took out the flier 4 times in 10 minutes, it continually respawned within seconds of us taking it out. I am positive the 20 minute cycle was broken in that attempt.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice! someone would love to farm these flyers

[/ QUOTE ] It's not a 20 minute timer after defeat. It's a 20 minute timer from when the mission was loaded.

This means, if you defeated the AVs and the flier in 19 minutes.. the flier would re-appear again only one minute later... then 20 minutes after that again.

The night i15 was released when I originally reported this new STF problem.. the timer seemed to be working correctly for us.

Isn't the aggro cap also 16, not 17? Not a huge deal, just making a statement =] (sorry reading the article. . )

[/ QUOTE ] lol you are thinking too hard about it. I already told you that the name of the category for Damage is misleading.

The Agro cap doesn't change. There is no way to buff or debuff it... so it's not like you have 1 by default and 16 more.. it's just plain 17. Period. lol

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sleepy, and putting off going to bed, hehe

[/ QUOTE ] LoL goodnight. I hope it makes more sense to you when you wake up.

And no, your explanation of Recharge above doesn't prove your point. The wiki clearly states "recharge rate penalty of -75%", not a total recharge rate of -75%.

Yes, your Recharge time BONUS is 0% at base.

I read it. . .ok so I didn't, but I will say I did for my dignity, then continue to say that I am mentally handicapped. . .wait. . does the retain my dignity, or throw it out a second story window?

[/ QUOTE ] It just keeps you honest. No worries..

Besides.. that's a common mistake that could happen to anybody.

Also.. if you find something wrong in the wiki.. you can just let somebody know (for verification).
The Wiki can be edited easily.

Okay, half the memory.

Looks like it does include a VGA connector on the card, and after looking at it on the BFG site I see that it also includes a low profile adapter, which would make it attractive to anyone running a computer with a slim case.

The only real con I see on the 250 GTS you linked is that it takes up two slots and the 9400 takes up one slot.

Well, one additional possible problem is that it requires a 450W PSU where the 9400 only requires 350W. Although, several major manufacturers computers have been known to ship with smaller PSU's than this. Even fairly recently.

Since I haven't seen any mention of what size PSU you have, it's pure conjecture on my part as to whether or not your PSU is beefy enough for either of these.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is good to know, my power supply is 350 W so I guess I have to go with the 9400, so Tech Gurus will this be enough to run my monator at full power for COX? I know people said the 0800 could do it but will the 9400 do it?

[/ QUOTE ]
Definitely a resounding "no" on that one. You need something with more kick.

[/ QUOTE ]

Really will it not run things well?

[/ QUOTE ] That power supply probably provides enough total power for what you need. I say this, because my system with a 9600GT doesn't even reach 200W total power usage at maximum specs...

HOWEVER, it's NOT likely that it will be directed to where you need it. The power is split in several directions, to several devices, and there is a limit to what each wire can handle. You probably wont have enough Amps on any single cable to run the card at maximum specs.

The system I described above has a 750W power supply in it. A 350W wont be enough unless you are an electrical engineer that made your own. lol

I think those windows only pop up in the regular Enhancement Management screen, not while leveling up or doing a respec.

Just think, we didn't even have that at all before the "Real Numbers" update.

[ QUOTE ]
Ah, ok gotcha. . . hadn't considered that . . . mainly because I don't personally really consider the base part of the cap >.>

[/ QUOTE ] I do agree with you there. If it just said "Damage", then it makes sense to include the base, but the name of the category is "Damage BUFF", which shouldn't include the base.

Even still, the description below the table explains it (to those who read it ).

[ QUOTE ]
I suppose since it is another monitor. So what are you doing in game right now? The same as me, just sitting around.

[/ QUOTE ] Yep. I had to log in to check something for another post a little while ago.. and of course my character is still just standing there. haha

[ QUOTE ]
Some people don't always check the forums every day

[/ QUOTE ]

So you mean not everyone has the forums up on another monitor?

[/ QUOTE ] Does a laptop count? lol

[ QUOTE ]
1) Try not to discourage people from running events. If Whitefox wants to try his hand at organizing/running events, he should be given the opportunity. What would have happened if I discouraged Luna when she asked me about leading her own events?

[/ QUOTE ]
In my defense, I did say this:

[ QUOTE ]
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to discourage you from forming your own group...

[/ QUOTE ] and you even quoted it.

I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me with this mission this morning. I really didn't expect such a quick response.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hell, neither did I. Posted at 6:30am, finished the trial by 8:50am? WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE DO WITH YOUR TIME???

(Oh, wait, summer vacation.)
(sighs from his desk job)

[/ QUOTE ] This.. I missed the whole thing.

Then again.. the Trial is only 10 minutes long anyway. lol

[ QUOTE ]
Yes that was a good run last night. I to think all I had to do was change out from my Dom to a Thermal Corruptor to change our luck. LOL I never play that toon. I always have confidence that we will be successful but last night for some reason I really felt extra good. Everyone did quite well working together. And again, thanks Mr E for bringing it home.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes thanks for leaving the Thermal corr at home

About the only thing that could have made the run better would have been a permamind dom that could sleep the AV's.

Hm, perhaps next time.......... "looks at his SP3....."

[/ QUOTE ]
I think you read that wrong. IIRC, the character Marvel did NOT play this time was a Plant/Psi Dominator.

Mavel did not leave the Thermal at home... The Thermal was helping me save your behind all night. lol

Edit:
From the signup sheet:
8: Ms Burned Bush: Plant/Psi Dominator -or- Lynner: Sonic/Thermal Corruptor

Lynner was indeed the character of choice last night.

[ QUOTE ]
The wiki isn't actually correct on all of those, unless they changed it since last I looked.

Edit: Just checked, and I know for a fact that all of the damage buffs are off by 100% at level 21+

[/ QUOTE ] It's not wrong.

Keep in mind that the wiki is showing he cap for the total maximum damage, not the cap for the buff itself... and it says so right in the description: 100% + Buff
[ QUOTE ]
The amount of Damage bonus needed to reach the cap is 100 less than the cap itself.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you want to know what the Combat attributes will display in game for your maximum damage buff, then yes.. simply subtract 100 from the value you see on that table.

[ QUOTE ]
Click the wiki link in my sig, and bookmark it. There is lots of good info there.

Then type in "Limits" in the search to find your answer.

[/ QUOTE ] Fixed.

j.k Couldn't resist. lol

[ QUOTE ]
As far as your empty bio saying '3/1024' it's probably counting some ending CR/EOF type control characters against our total. I've spent many bio writings bumping up against the max limit and we've never really had exactly 1024 characters available. There have always been a few characters lost to that kind of thing and now that we have the counter those lost characters are probably just showing up that way.

[/ QUOTE ] My test shows that a blank bio should show 0/1024. The funny thing is that it ends at 1023/1024.

You are right, control characters do count. If he is showing 3, he probably has 3 line breaks, which would still look like the box is empty.

Edit:
While putting my real bio back into place, I noticed a bug.
Copy/Pasting, or deleting highlighted text results in the counter showing an incorrect value...
..but all you have to do is type something again to fix it, or just close the window.
It will be correct when you reopen it.

I am sticking with my initial guess that he has 3 "Enter" in the bio.

assuming a competent team

[/ QUOTE ]

I've never run a Cavern trial that wasn't a PuG. I never assume a competent team, because I am all too often disappointed then. I always assume a completely retarded team so I'm pleasantly surprised when I get a good one.

[/ QUOTE ] With ONE Stealth/TPer, the rest of the team doesn't even matter... as long as they can click at the same time. lol

My record time for this TF is 6:25. Yes, six minutes, but I bet it could be done even faster.
