odd bug with Inner will and/or the blaster ato..

No idea how to try replicate it but..

I was fighting Barracuda, used IW just before she died, then kept fighting the ambushing freaks.

I had teh DefAMp all the while, giving mag 4 status prot to everything. I was NOT mezzed at all (as in, not freak attacks had applied a mez effect)

Attacking away, and then IW dropped and I was suddenly Held, Feared, Stunned and Slept, Confused and Immob..ALL at once. The red text and teh mez effects themselves were SO brief, I didnt even notice my toon being unable to move etc etc.

Never seen anything like it. All I can think of is that the IW mez prot and resistance, was conflicting with the +mag from teh blaster proc..and when it wore off..BOOM..mez madness?

Ok..bit annoying.
Inner Will doesnt light up when you CAN use it. I was really expecting it too..and it would make sense.
The heal it gives is very small, like a tic of 75/75+X (seems slotting only buffs one of the tics) but I guess its better than nothing.

Looked at the info after I used it..applies a -SIX mag mez prot to you..so while good, it will hardly break 'any' mez in the game.

Cool stuff Bill.

Why are those battle shots all reddish? Powers just going off? And what were the bull looking minortaurish figures in the melee? Just a costume?

Just got Inner will!

When pushed to your limit, you can tap into an inner reserve of power, allowing you to overcome impossible odds. When you are below half health, below half endurance, or the victim of any status effect, you may activate Inner Will. Inner Will cancels any status effects currently affecting you, increases your resistance to status effects by 100%, and increases the power of your own status effect-inducing powers. Inner Will also heals you for a moderate amount when activated. Recharge: Very Long

'Any' status effect will be cancelled? Is that a money back promise? I wonder if it wonder cancel if I was hit by GW soul storm..or Seq'd on a BAF.

Hmm..minor problem. With the DefAmp on..I never get mezzed, so guess I can only use it when under the hp threshold.

Really cool stuff. I love the billboards and signs updated with specific stuff you know.

Just thinking, it WOULD have been really great if they actually released a program or addon to actually do that properly. Maybe have the splash files easily shareable (is that a word?) so you could show friends that new signs you have made.
Then have each server downtime updated with teh best ones each week as chosen by PS. Well..it would have been cool!

Really liking the PLacte pool power.

Works great when theres an extra nasty baddie about. Used it a lot in darrin's arc..all those mobs with multiple bosses. Aoe both, placate one, kill the other. Neat stuff.

yep..as Hope said, get a ton of super packs and convert what you need. Not as fast as being able to get them via emp merits..but still free!

Still think Rftl should have been able to stack..maybe if it got a 100% proc from BoS and EC. As you say Hope..short duration, burst damage is what blasters want, and with the nukes, more so.

Going back to what I was saying about Claws...follow up DOES stack. And works every time that power hits..not randomly.
Its even worse for combos like DP and AR, who dont get a build up..which is another issue of course.

Ki Push is suuuch fun.
Using it on someone in a warehouse, watching them fly back, hit a railing, slide along it, then fall backwards over it, all while I am shooting them in the head..awesome.

Storm kick is so cool looking too..I love bouncing away as I use it, looks really ninja like.

testing the blaster ato2 set also..got it in ExeShot..seems to go off a lot! It is pretty easy to keep up 3 stacks of mez prot. Still think mag 1 might be a it low..but considering how handy it would be..

Time for Leonard's arc.

Another fav. The clone mission is awesome..not sure how 8 blasters are going to be to fight though..

LOL!
Omg...one moment while I stop choking with laughter.

Doing the Defeat Ajax mission, where you get a flawed clone (with random powersets) helping you.
I am dp/mc.

And my clone..seems to be dual blades/dual pistols and..some secondary with Build up! (I just saw him use BU)
So the clone STILL is holding the two guns (and they are out constantly! how is that possible? Why arent OUR weapons out constantly?) yet he is also holding two custome swords..that springs out of the tops of the pistols. Hilarious.
Gunblades look better though.

You and Dean share an intense high-five together.

It was manly..dont look at me like that.

Boobs and Shame..love it. Sounds like the unofficial motto for Virtue.

Trying out the new Presence pool stuff.

Pacify..single target placate, min rech. Sounds pretty handy for a blaster...but the DoT from my fire ammo may ruin it.

Will see.

Used an Alignment token to go Red. I love all the Sharkhead arcs.

Working on Dean's atm. His dialogue and briefings are great stuff. Cant wait to do the Villain i24 arcs with him.

Ummmm...found a bug!

Dean's first mission, where you see Ajax, and cant kill him. I kicked him..he took damage!
You have defeated Ajax
You gain 600 experience and 288 infamy.

Yay I broke the game! Woot for auto completes!

Oh..update! After I killed him, nothing happened. With the objectives I mean. Then, after writing the above (as in, teh TIME the mission took normally, as you try to kill him, and find out you cant) ..the objs just updated normally.
Game is fixed!

Was just thinking..this really shows how much we (and obviously the people who got to donate) care about 'our' game. Forgot the obvious sadness, anger and NC hate...pitching into buy the dev team (and not NC..I think any packages we sent them would get the bomb disposable treatment) a send off, from us...

Does anyone know of ANY MMO, hell, any PC game, where something similar has occured?

To BRAD (sorry for caps, but so you dont miss it)

You were saying your Sub lasped and you cant get on Beta? I asked in another thread about this and..Jack was saying you can access Beta even if you arent a vip, now.

That is super cool! Totally missed it all myself, due to all you guys being on the wrong side of the planet and stuff.
Great idea though..really.
Can you guys (Paragon) take some snaps at the dinner Zwill?

They emailed you that..but can't even send a 'Oh, sorry, we are killing cox, bye guys' email?
Richard Move.

Still not seeing RftL (FTL!) doing much.
Can it stack? Is it even meant to?

Doing the PCM faultline arc, attacking 3 ebs constantly..and it didnt stack. EVER. If it cant, thats lame. Sure, its only the same buff as Claws/Follow but that you can have on allll the time, as well as when you need it.

Playing my MC blaster a bit more.

The set is fun! Now I am somewhat slotted and can hit stuff. I still dislike the blue/orange glow..but it happens so fast you can just..not see it.

The redraw still kinda annoys me...one of my fav things to do is use the last BoS stack to get OUT of a mob, and use Bullet Rain on it, and the redraw slows that combo down.

Likewise, using storm kick while jumping backward looks fully awesome, and it would be even cooler if I could draw my gun mid air and shot them in the face.

BoS into mob, dragons tail, storm kick the boss again, Bos, Bos OUT of mob, bullet rain back in, then Exc shot to the boss...wow! Fun stuff. I'm sure a bind for bos would help a lot.

This set would be awesome to see in the hands of a twitch/speed type player..could do some amazing stuff.

Changed my mind about Reaction Time..the absorb (low as it is) seems to really help, even soloing at 0/0. Also, being able to detoggle it if you get Slower is neat. Maybe it needs some slow resist though.

Oh yeah..the +recovery in RT is HUGE! Its over 3 times what a miracle + does! Crazy. Extra spot for a shifter proc too.

Hey Hopeling..are those bodysuit cossies just in the editor right away? I saw screenshots for them and was impressed.

BioArmour!

I wanted this set soo bad. I was in love with it the moment I read the leaked powers on SA. Even more so when I saw Jaybohs youtube vid of it.
It's like street justice..even if the set sucked, I'd still have played it. I totally urge anyone with even a small desire to check it out..to do so!

Now, leaving aside the fact some people, and theres always some, who will moan about their pretty costume being covered up..the set looks amazing. Just awesome. The way the different toggles add areas of 'biomass' to your frame..too cool..building up to fully bio'd and looking evil. The only thing I didnt love, was how..flat? the feet look, as you move. Like they are covered in mub..woulda liked to see some constantly moving greenish hooks..as your armour molds to teh ground.

I did play the set with all the Amplifiers on, and using attuned sets. Which obviously help a lot. But, Id usually do that to a degree on live, and I sure didnt run any of my scrappers at +2 and 6, with bosses, at lvl 30.

The set was just so well rounded. I talked in another thread about how the other melee sets should get some Absorb, down the track. And after playing Bio, I stand by that even more so. Def, res, heal, regen, debuff res, mitigation.

Those 6 things make up a melee set to me. So sets are All def, like SR, with debuff res throw in. Others are resist with a heal etc etc. We all know this.
But Bio..gets it ALL. All of it. I cant think of another set with that..closest would be wp and invul, dark maybe?
None have what bio does though...decent resists, some good def to elemental stuff, +hp, regen, +rec, debuff resists (not ddr) a biiig heal, +end, mitigation is -dam, -res, -regen...
phew! and too all that..Absorb!
Which is seemingly better than anything, since no matter how debuffed you are, what type of damage it is etc..you do absorb it! I love it.

I dont think I used the Adaption modes as much as I could have. Perhaps without the amplifiers, I might have needed Efficient say..when in a long fight. Or defensive for a tough fight. But I did notice a BIG difference when I did go from Off to Def mode. I think that is a good thing..and shows the modes were worth getting and using.

I really noticed a slower kill speed for instance (losing dam, -res, rech and to hit) but I was a lot tougher! (+hp, +res, +def, more -dam) Not sure how they would translate to other ATs, a brute for instance, would not notice the -dam at all.

So many ways too slot it too! My head was exploding.

Such a shame its not gonig Live..would have been awesome.

My spines bio was soo brokenly insane. With the 2 ato sets, even more so! I loved the first stalker set, but really thought it made stalkers to much like scrappers. Well..the 2nd scrappa ato fixed that! With bells on! Makes scrappers into super scrappers!

As an aside..I think spines bio is like..the best ciombo for the set. With the atos you get the +crit chance (of 3/6%) then the 50% for the next few attacks. Great thing is..it tells you when it goes off, and it goes off a LOT.
This is when the 2 damage auras shine, because even if you dont have an attack Q;d, or miss with the next..you have those 2 damage auras ticcing like made, and ALSO getting that +50% crit. I seriously see a wall of crits!

Another thing..getting the damage aura at 35 is a GREAT idea. Always thought having them at lvl 2 in other sets was just silly. The end cost is just too massive to manage as a lowbie.
