Question: Has anyone ever died from falling?

[/ QUOTE ]You can't, it always stops at 1 hp. I've tried



(way back when it might have been able to kill you, but that'd been a long time ago)

[/ QUOTE ]

I want to say it used to be able to and was changed years ago, but can't find it in the patch notes. Might be a PVP change of some sort I'm half-remembering.

[/ QUOTE ] I believe it has always been that way. And if I'm wrong and it was changed, I do know it wasn't because of PvP. Any change would have had to been in the first few months of the game's existence.

My biggest problem with ITF is the same problem I have with Ernesto Hess(my two favorite Task Forces BTW), YOU DON'T GET TO FIGHT THE GIANT ROBOT!! Annoys the hell out of me.

Mender Silos is an anagram for Lord Nemesis... coincidence??

[/ QUOTE ] I didn't know that. Holy [censored].

How effective is Provoke?

[/ QUOTE ] I only take Provoke on defenders. Scrappers don't need it.

Cool, it's good to know that I don't need perma hasten. I played around a little bit and in order to get close my defense suffered. Werner: I am in the same boat with hasten on my DM/SR, I didn't feel it was worth the influences/sacrifices to get that last big of recharge.

With the numbers yall threw out this doesn't look like it's gonna be too hard to do(though I'm sure I'll have to play around in Mid's a bit to get it to work).

Question, I currently have the PvP defense IO sitting in my base and I'm thinking about using it for this character. But I'm not positive yet. How powerful could this build be if done right?

Thanks.

That, and I laugh at myself, a LOT. So as long as it at least makes ME smile, I'm happy.

Well, you guys *are* forum reg dates twins, after all....

[/ QUOTE ] He wants to be like me. Can't say I blame him either. I often stay awake late into the night wondering how I can more be like me.

Organica, what secondary is your Scrapper?

So I have a Kat/Invul(level 37) that I'm leveling up currently and I'm starting to think about IO'ing her out to get max performance. What I'm wondering is what are some goals I should build for? I most definitely wanna solo AVs and I want to be extremely strong on teams.

Is perma hasten needed for the ideal attack chain for Katana?

Also, I'm trying to decide exactly how I want to slot for defenses. With DA it won't be too hard to soft cap melee, but at the same time typed defense is Invuln's strength. What do you think are good numbers to shoot for? I could let DA take care of my lethal defense, but that would leave smashing sitting at a low number. But at the same time if I take Tough then my S/L resist will be sitting around 70%.

With accolades capping Hit Points doesn't seem too hard, so getting there should probably be a goal.

I don't want anybody to give me a completed build right now, I just want some ideas on goals to strive for. I'm looking forward to coming up with a build myself and then submitting it for everyone's approval.

Thanks ahead of time for the advice.

I vote Dark Armor since the OP doesn't have a high level one yet.

I like this idea. If I could transfer a SG, I would move off Freedom tomorrow, taking every character with me and I would buy more slots on my chosen server to fit them all. I'm slowly starting to create characters on other servers, but the idea of building my base all over again is not appealing to me at all.

Sakes mense.

You still never said why you wanted the powers nerfed.

So he used a live commercial MMO to conduct "experiments" on other people?

Well then, I'm sure he remembered to gather the needed written permissions from not only NCSoft, but also from all people involved in these "experiments". I mean, otherwise he'd leave himself open for all sorts of nasty ethics complaints. Or worse. But as a professor, I don't need to tell him things like that, I'm just a lowly Master of Arts, and even I knew not to do anything that would get the university in trouble.

So it would be extremely sad if someone with grounds for en ethics complaint were to contact his university to make said complaint. Especially in writing. But I'm sure he's been careful and only killed the avatars of people who already agreed to be a part of the "experiment". It's just good ethics to do so.

Sorry, can't keep that level of sarcasm up...

Anyway, if you feel you've been mistreated by these "experiments", and feel vindictive, contact the university directly and complain. Even better if a group of people make a joint complaint. When entering a PVP Zone you agree to getting attacked and killed, but I don't see anywhere in the EULA of agreeing to be part of scientific "experiments". Actually, I don't see anything in the EULA about allowing people to conduct experiments on other players either.

So if you really want to cause trouble, don't just refute his paper, do an ethics complaint as well. I can't be part of it, though, didn't PVP when he was active. But if his "experiment" affected you negatively and you didn't agree to being used as a guinea pig, then you're in the clear for a complaint. Best if you have some data to back it up with, of course, but you don't have to follow the scientific method in a complaint. He, on the other hand, must in his paper.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah!! Being vindictive will show him!

Actually, by suggesting this you at least as bad as him.

[/ QUOTE ]There is a reason these methods are in place Munki. There is nothing wrong to holding someone to the standards of their peers in the professional world. Next you are going to tell us all the groups who sent that former anti game lawyer cease and desist letters when he said he was supported by their organization were wrong.

[/ QUOTE ] You're right, there is nothing wrong with holding people to certain standards. But if being vindictive is a motive(like the person said), then you(general) are no better than Twixt.

People's motives for doing stuff speak about a person's character.

Good point PK.

I didn't want changes because every toon or aspect of the game Castle has touched that I enjoy has led to retirement or deletion. (recently - blasters, pvp, and my stormies)

He did a decent job on doms in that they aren't really that different, just less peaks and valleys in performance and leveling. IMO this is by FAR his best work yet.

[/ QUOTE ]

What wrong w/ Stormies? >.> Also, don't forget the Stalker buffs ^.^

[/ QUOTE ] I'm more curious to know what he did to Blasters that messed them up. I really wanna know.

Brutes aren't borked - they're arguably overpowered, if you listen to the Tanker and Scrapper forums.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't get that impression reading the Scrapper forums everyday.

[/ QUOTE ]
Was going by the opinions expressed (loudly) in the two threads linked to in my sig (results are in, and results are in take two). When it was shown that only counting primaries Brute did slightly more than Scrappers with Fury built up, there was a lot of "we need a buff" and "they need a nerf" going on.

[/ QUOTE ] Ah yes, I remember those threads. There was definitely some of that going on.

Personally, I don't think Brutes are overpowered. The difference wasn't huge.

After I use siphon speed, which method of travel is faster...
1. Running/ swimming while boosted by Siphon Speed
or
2. Jumping using Inertial Reduction while on Siphon Speed?

[/ QUOTE ] The run speed cap is higher than the jump speed cap, but super jumping(or IR) allow much better mobility than running. So, IMO, it really depends on the zone.

Deleted by MunkiLord because he decided he doesn't care.

[ QUOTE ]
Brutes are better. Period.

[/ QUOTE ] How?

Too bad this metric is useless when it comes to Merits
