it works like cloak of fear or oppressive gloom from dark armor, it suppreses while in hide so it does nothing until you reveal yourself
-
i made a detailed list of what was missing and posted it in the bug report thread about collections in the beta forums
edit: heres the thread for that -
we should be getting a fix for a lot of the bugs that cropped with with the thursday patch this tuesday

Of course if you are a F2P player or dont have access to globals as a premium then yes help channel is the LFG channel.
Also if anybody does tell you on the help channel that it should only be used for help and not for looking for teams, ignore them. Until there is an actual LFG channel available to all, the help channel is the best source.i agree with both points, i personally dont use help chat except to answer questions since i have access to global channels, but for the f2p it is basically the only source of communication since they cant communicate with other well due to being limited to local and teamQuote:Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Of course don't spam or shout your LFG request in help. I've seen people go "SEWERS LF2M BLUE!!1!!" five times in no more than two minutes get upset when asked not to spam LFG and try to defend themselves with there is nowhere else for them to ask.
Most of us don't mind requests, even if repeated every few minutes or so. But we do mind having one person's LFG filling up the help window. -
Quote:i would support this idea, make it a power that can be cast on either pets or teammatesOriginally Posted by Mr_Morbid
An example of the strength of the power: I've seen Marauder hit by it and start puking in Lambda because of it. It would be nice if it could be cast on teammates instead of just henchmen. Being able to put it on a main tank would be more effective than using a henchman who may or may not decide to stay close enough to the mobs to make it work.

just publishing it does not mean it will get plays right away, with how the search function works and the fact that the system has never been purged of invalid arcs, your arc is essentially buried under 550,000+ other arcs
the best way to get ratings is to promote your arc through the MA community by creating a feedback thread with the ID number of your arc, and to join the MA Arc Finder channel in game which has a lot of other poeple who talk about MA, promote arcs, and most anything else MA related
now as for your questions:
1. there is no setting to just make them run away they will always follow a player until they reach the destination (object or entrance)
2. no they cant do random phrases, but you can always make multiple rescue objectives which have different text
3. no, if they are their and have not been completed they will make the noise
4. i am not sure, i havent looked into it too much
5. if you have multiple destructive objects you have to make ambushs seperate for both of them, unless the object is the same and you just have multiple of the objects, if its multiple of the same objective then im not sure why it wouldnt spawn both of them
6. all objectives have the ability to be created after another objective is completed for chaining ability, i believe its an options under the settings -
IIRC this change was intentional because pets add to server strain so the fewer pets the less server strain

Quote:my main beef with the debuffs is that they are resistable and the targets that get full effect are so weak it doesnt matter and the hard targets when it does matter they are resisted into doing negligible amounts of debuffOriginally Posted by Draeth Darkstar
The DoT Interfaces are generally held to be wildly superior to the debuff-only ones due to low duration, low magnitude debuffs with ramp-up time not competing well with the fairly notable DPS increase the DoTs bring.

im glad they are adding something more villainous content for villains, i dont mind the "must band together with heroes to save the world from being destroyed" thing every now and then but thats been the main focus for like 10 issues at least
i for one am glad that they are finally creating something to support the villain half of the game instead of a "hero always saves the day" thing -
another bug ive noticed with the collection system is there are a LOT of sg badges missing from display
the following badges are missing(both badge and progress bars):
in achievements:- Analyzer base defense
- Gas trap base defense
- improved energy turret
- repulsor base defense
- benedict dr turret plans
- benedict dr-2 turret plans
- benedict dr-3 turret plans
- supercomputer
- autonomous expert system plans
- mega monitor plans
- emergency capacitor plans
in pvp:- fusion generator plans
in defeats:- improved igniter
- rikti plasma turret
the only section that is not missing anything is the exploration, they are only missing graphically, my sg has most of the ones which are not listed anymore but still has the ability to place items such as improved igniter -
Quote:300% to perma what shield? fire/time doesnt really get any shields, and farsight is perma with hasten and a few rech SOsOriginally Posted by Infernus_Hades
I am also thinking of Powerboost as that alone without IO boosts puts your defense at I believe 40% ish?
It also appears to take about 300% recharge to get perma shields. Not sure yet as several possibilies are out there.
Do you cap defense or work to increase control and damage? Best defense is if nothing is moving
and if your running perma powerboosted farsight then you shouldnt have any problems with defenses since you will be able to get to 35% with few to no IOs, so i would focus on control/dmg and end management (fire/time i can forsee being extremely heavy end wise without incarnate powers, conserve power will help though) -
ill see if i can make it, and im guessing one of the backup plans is in case the copy tool is still down (i dont think i have any toons on test since it was last wiped due to copy tool being down for like 2.5 months now)
-
i have a few toons still on beta from the i21 beta when the copy tool was working so i might give this a run through sometime over the weekend, but i might wait to see how the changes will work out
-
from what ive read, almost all of the new interfaces are not as strong as the fire mostly due to the -res
i would need to do some more testing to get hard numbers
ive heard though that the toxic/psi ones were approx 60% of reactive and the others were about 80-90% dmg of reactive (which would make sense if reactives -resist comes into play since that can stack to max of -10% resist it means reactive will do 10% more dmg) -
back around i12-i15 (i dont remember specifically when) domination had the dmg bonus removed and the dom ranged dmg scale was changed to be almost that of blasters, so doms have huge dmg potential now even without the use of domination
the 2 doms i usually run with are really pimped out earth/fire/fire and mind/fire/ice, both of which are perma domination
my mind/fire is extremely good at confusing things and ive almost solo'd MoITF with him (has immense aoe dmg but is not as good as locking stuff down as the earth dom, can perma confuse AVs and mobs though)
my earth dom is extremely good at control, i can lock down mobs no prob with domination and the fire APP really helps add to his aoe dmg with fire ball and rain of fire (he can run +0x8 with few problems)
as per your post, grav is ok but the animation times are really long and is still being asked for slight revamp to improve the animation times
fire control is not too bad, fire/psi doms were not the farming gods they used to be but when build right can still run +4x6 relatively easy (thats what my friend runs at with his fire psi)
mind is very good but it is amazing with perma dom, almost night and day difference
if your looking to get back into doms i suggest using a hard control set such as plant control or earth control, plant and earth when paired with fire assault are both very strong -
because the side badges in this trial are relatively easy to get (the vahz one is kind of annoying with more than 5 people) i usually will mention "we have to do X to get this badge" if we dont get it, oh well not like these things arent being run constantly or even hard to get in general

Quote:about the toxic/psi dmg interfaces doing less, its only slightly but it is under review to possible be made more into line with the othersOriginally Posted by Obitus
Eh, the -RES debuff is negligible in normal content (against minions/lieuts and even bosses). Against harder targets, the -RES is more useful, but it also doesn't stack very well; against harder targets, you're more likely to be teamed, in which case there's a good chance the -RES debuff will quickly reach its stacking limit of four.
On the subject of stacking, the DoT has a stacking limit in teams too, and since most every existing Incarnate already has Reactive, the other options will be more valuable at least in the short term.
And then there's the fact that a lot of people are going to be content stopping at Tier 3 for their Incarnate powers. At tier 3, the Reactive option with the best DoT offers no -RES.
So as a practical matter, I consider Spectral and Preemptive functionally equivalent to Reactive. The psi and Toxic Interface options do less damage, last I heard. YMMV and all that jazz.
More to the point of the thread, I took Spectral Interface (@ tier 3) on my Blaster yesterday. The visual effect is really cool; it's a yellow-black whirlpool at the target's feet, almost as if they're getting sucked into the pits of hell. If you have an infernal-flavor to your character, Spectral's a great fit
i personally think the -end or the -max hp ones are the best because the chance to immob or confuse a target is very low, although that is also under review to be increased -
i have occasionally had the issue your having where it immediatly logs out, but its rare for me, i just log back in again and usually works 2nd time
-
i dont know how much it changed since beta but originally the -end was essentially negligible even against minions, hopefully its been made more useful. the -max hp sounds interesting enough since on tough targets it can do up to -150 hp per tick or -600 hp if you stack 4x as well as adding toxic dmg
(all of the new options were created with dmg over time components just to compete with reactive lol) -
the only reason i dont use windowsave command is because the UI for most of my toons is organized slightly differently depending on the toon
i do use optionsave and chatsave all the time though lol -
i use chrome all the time on my home computer and ive never had problems logging in, although it does log me out if i am not active on the web page within like 5-10 min

Quote:the bug appears to be that the EB (does she go AV too?) vanessa is flagged to spawn with normal enemy groups so i would assume it could happen anywhere that carnies spawnOriginally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
I am curious if anyone has seen this yet.. Last night my duoing buddy and I were running Tina s arc and overheard someone saying they had actually seen Vanessa on the streets. At the time we were about to enter the mission where you talk to Devore about why the Clockwork attacked Carnies... Knowing what has been going on I wondered if our mission had created her.
I didnt have time to confirm and didnt actually see her myself but several others were talking about it.... So has anyone else found DeVore roaming around outside missions. -
Quote:in this example, thats part of the reason (and yes it increases pulse dmg), the other part is if you kill antimatter before the final fight your league fails the trialOriginally Posted by rsclark
One problem I see with that walkthrough is that it still doesn't say why those rules exist.
For instance, I know that the reason you don't attack AntiMatter is because the more he is damaged buffs the damage on something. I think the damage pulses, but I wouldn't swear to it. -
Quote:its most likely titan weapons, if not titan weapons then staff melee (since thats the one thats been leaked a little because we can type in game the different powers)Originally Posted by sypher_vendetta
a fair and valid point Necrotech.
I just want doms to have a new set, i have been informed by someone just now that a new powerset has been scheduled to be released by december/january time.
Still not sure which set though.
that doesnt mean i wouldnt like to see a new set on doms though, illusion is the #1 choice i would have for doms lol -
i mostly only want to get the coh collector edition for the badge that comes with it lol, but i cant justify spending $100 to get a badge
personally i think the badge from that (VIP/destined one) should be awarded to you if you have a VIP account (ie make it a tier 9 VIP paragon reward)
the other stuff in the collector edition (heroclix figures, ect) i dont want anyway
