i think they are supposed to be the target making those noises, but as you mention it makes no sense if it is not a human male (i could also be wrong and they could be the blood widow making the noises lol)
another oddity ive heard with them is that they make those sounds even if they miss with their attack which doesnt make any sense either if it is supposed to be the target
i dont know about getting rid of them, i think they are kinda funny to hear every now and then lol -
Quote:i agree with this, what the devs have in place is not 100% ideal but is prolly the best in terms of whats good for all playersOriginally Posted by Darth_Khasei
I have always supported dev based governors for things like this. Player "solutions" usually end up not being solutions as much as nerfs to "other" people's playstyles or overly punitive and heavy handed etc.....So no thanks the devs have this area covered.
I am not for "any" player ideas that change the dev set governors. I am for a better more robust search function and have been since the day AE hit the COX world.
i do also agree that the search/rating systems are both epic fail and need to be reworked -
Quote:it is true she did introduce me to another contact within 2 mishs (i believe it was crimson), but i did not have to run a bank mish to unlock her and i did this very very recently (within the last 3 weeks), i went directly to her from the find contact window on a lvl 50 toonOriginally Posted by Ironblade
In my experience, this is not correct.
What I think happens to a lot of people is that they get introduced to Maria at some point while they're busy with something else so they don't remember it. Every time you start doing missions for a new contact, they will introduce you to ANOTHER contact very quickly, often after a single mission. If you're looking for a specific contact, start someone else in the same level range. As soon as they offer a new contact, go to that one and do their missions until they give a new contact. Depending on what missions you get, you can get every contact in a level range in 20-30 minutes at most. -
Quote:what is mentioned here is basically my thoughts, i like the tech theme but it needs more varietyOriginally Posted by Oathbound
The problem with building a tech or gadget control set out of mostly existing powers is that all it turns into is a bag full of grenades. That's... rather uninspiring.
6 of the powers suggested are grenades. That means 2/3rds of the set end up using the exact same animation. Frankly The whole reason I can't stand to play a Crabspider is because both the crab Blasts, and Both the crab grenades share the same animation. If over half the set did it, there's no way in hell I could bring myself to play it.
A Gadget set really could use Drone type powers, and place-able contraptions and the like, just so the powers are more unique from other powers in the same set.
Edit: Also, Time Bomb is a horrible, horrible abomination of a power. (Not to mention would be in /Traps, if/when that gets ported to Controllers, so couldn't be in a tech control set.)
and i also agree with what he says about timebomb, it is an awful power that needs to be reworked (if it was trip mine it would not be so bad) -
Quote:i still use sg storage and porters on occasion, since the group i run i try to make friendly towards having other people in it (and i been doing my best to keep it active) i try to keep various items in the storage devices for members to take or add to when they feel like it. i know a lot of the base stuff has seen plenty of use by the members i have mostly for storage and because they wanted to help populate the group pool of itemsOriginally Posted by Soundtrack
Not surprisingly, I'm probably in the minority.
I still use my salvage racks, teleporters, and invention stations. Not because I'm "loyal" to any cause, but just most likely because I'm ignorant to more effective ways to travel around!
i wish the old items of power were back though so we could actually have sg wide bonuses although i wouldnt want poeple joining the group solely for the bonuses -
i think it would be cool to play through as a dev created character, they could always make it grant you a bunch of temp powers of the powers the standard baddy has and you would just use your current costume and such (or it could also grant you a power which was costume change thing), but that wuold be a lot of work to include everything unless it was only for big name stuff like AVs
-
it could also have been a misconstrue of something similar like the wikia version shutting down lol

SoA's can't get Freedom Cracker (...yet)i can confirm with what Scene says, they cannot get them through flashbackQuote:Originally Posted by Errant
I think they can, just have to run the intro arcs through Oros in order.
even at the ouro crystal operative kuzmin refuses to talk to them
they *might* be able to get it if they run with someone else who is doing the arc though -
the reason those temps stack is because you can buy them in the market as consumables, if they didnt stack there would be a lot of heat over wasting money buying a temp when you were already full ect
thats prolly why it only works for those few items -
the lady winter mish is soo much better than the BNY mish lol
i used to farm the lady winter mish on my ill/cold at +4 because the winter horde wasnt very strong and lady winter was using scaling code lol -
Quote:placate can be stopped purely by using an aoe attack or dmg toggle which hits the target that placated you, the bane of stalkers is also the bane of NPC placateOriginally Posted by EricHough
Its weaker when used by a PC on NPC's - but it is actually very strong when used on a PC. The problem is that while it does break every 3 seconds, you can't queue up attacks while waiting for it to break - so you have to spam your attack button in order to avoid missing the 'break'. It also doesn't break for every single attack - just once every 3 seconds. The NPC 's don't have this problem, since the most important attack for them is the first one anyways and the computer always knows when the fear is about to break.
Add to that the fact that not all armor sets have fear protection and its actually a stronger effect that you would expect. Fear, confuse and placate are actually insanely powerful in NPC hands, due to duration, lack of protection and the way they screw up your normal attack/targetting in ways that they don't for the computer run NPC's. The only real answer is to suck down a breakfree - don't wait it out (not that that works well for placate - which tends to be auto hit and lasts for freaking ever). -
the only time its resetting on me is when i first log in i choose a toon i created post freedom it resets to default villain scheme, if i log into an older toon i have the window color that i set for them (black) and it will stick for the play session if i change toons

Quote:/this, it is very annoying but definitely not as bad as hard mez such as stuns (there are a bunch of stuns which last several minutes), slows such as -rech really suck tooOriginally Posted by ultrawatt
When u are afraid u get to attack at least every 3 secs, or if you are getting attacked it has almost not affect on you at all. I dont think it detoggles either.
It's really one of the weakest forms of control. -
i think the costume looks pretty cool to begin with
i personally dont do costume contests because i feel the contests are always rigged or because the judges are too biased, and a huge waste of time if you dont win because you get jack squat for participating unless your 1st 2nd or 3rd -
Quote:/this, lethal force adds more dmg ticks per teammate around you as well as to teammates around youOriginally Posted by Lazarillo
In my experience, Lethal Force ticks slowly enough that it's reasonably easy to heal from...unless you're being hit by ticks from a nearby ally, too, in which case, g'night.
by yourself its just 30% ticks, but having 3 other poeple around you and it adds 3 more sets of dmg ticks which goes from 30% per tick to 120% per tick meaning the 2nd tick will guarentee death for you and everyone who was close enough to trigger it -
if the 2nd account is at least premium then they can be invited to join an sg and invite other toons to the sg if you have the permissions set
the only thing premium accounts cannot do regarding sg's is anything involving the super group registrar (paying rent, creating an sg) -
being targeted just allows you to be hit with 1 of 3 various powers
lethal force as mentioned which does extremely high DoT to you and anyone around you, this one is the real killer
the other 2 i cant recall the names atm, but i know one is a fear and one is a hold which are used more frequently than lethal force
as mentioned the best way to usually protect the team from these is to move away from them while your targeted -
the DoT part can only stack up to 8 times, but its duration is shorter than the debuff
the DoT is the only reason i even bother with interface because all of the debuffs are essentially negligible against strong targets and not enough to bother with on weaker targets
the -tohit debuff for example is -5% per use to stack up to -20%, but if your fighting a target like AV or GM they resist that by 85-87% so the -5% becomes <-1% and your total debuff will barely be -2% even with 4 stack -
Quote:this is the main reason why it doesnt bother me that this change is happening, present hunting while queued, ectOriginally Posted by Quasadu
Also nice is the fact that we will have something to do while we wait in the LFG queue. If you don't want to form or join a pre-formed league, hop in the queue and go skiing or present hunting, fight Winter Hordes, etc.

pretty sure this is a work in progress they are looking to fix, it wont let you buy something you already own with exception if you bought costume pieces then bought the whole costume pack

Quote:/agree with this, x1000, +infinity, and every other kind of way to express agreementOriginally Posted by Forbin_Project
this has got to be one of the greatest suggestions ever made. Those giant Nightmares were flipping AWESOME! Not only should the devs bring the giant beasties back they should look into expanding the variety of opponents that spawn as giant beasties.
Imagine the look on some hero/villains face when he realizes he spawned an ambush of giant clockwork oscillators that follow the brown trail he leaves behind as he runs away in sheer panic screaming, "PAN . . . CAKE . . . MEEEE!!!!" and the giant oscillators bellow, "Whose your Daddy now?"
WE NEED MORE GIANT BEASTIES!!! -
a majority of the time poeple usually specify to me if they needed help or just asking if i wanted to join team
if it disbands fast, oh well i can find other things to do -
Quote:that can be changed up to $400 i believe, but it shouldnt restrict on how much or when you spend the pointsOriginally Posted by MikeRobe
$100 per 30 day period by default - https://help.ncsoft.com/app/answers/...arket%20limits
if you've been buying them as you needed them... otherwise not sure what the problem would be. -
Quote:heh ive been only using the villain skin for years now and its all looked fine lol, was wondering what was the issue people were having with the forums lolOriginally Posted by Tenzhi
At the bottom of the page there should be a skin selector. If you set it from Hero to Villain it should fix your problem (just tested). There is an odd formatting issue that's popped up with the Hero skin, which apparently affected those sections even worse than threads themselves.

since we have actual halloween costume pieces now it would not be too bad to make actual vampire, medusa, fish monster types of enemies for ToTing as something unique
