Is that actually a stated fact anywhere in CoH lore?

Note: That's a serious question. Aurora Borealis, Vanessa DeVore, Sister Psyche, Penny Yin, Katie Douglas, Fortunatas and Seers greatly outnumber... Malaise, Psimon Omega and a handful of the Awakened (Is that it? I can't think of any other male psi-users). But is that just a writer tendency, or is Psychic ability somehow tied to gender?

He may have misinterpreted what you said, but you DID say that it's possible to have miss streaks with a 95% hit chance.

Technically, you CAN miss multiple times in a row with a 95% hit chance, but only if you're mixing in attacks with a lower chance. If ALL your attacks have a 95% chance, then the streak you mentioned IS impossible.

Mother loves ALL her children.

Actually, if you have a 95% chance to hit, you can NEVER miss twice in a row.

And because AoEs roll attacks against enemies one at a time, NOT simultaneously, if you use an AoE with a 95% hit chance (That's total hit chance, not base Accuracy) against 2 or more opponents, you're guaranteed to hit at least one of them. That's why, when I need momentum and keep missing, I start spamming AoEs. Even if I'm heavily Accuracy or ToHit debuffed, I'll force Streak Breaker to kick in faster.

You don't need an unslotter, you can also use a respec, which many Vets have an excess of. You could even switch to an alt build and slot new ATOs there, catalyze them, and then unslot or respec them out. Once they're removed, VIPs can use converters to switch them to other sets for their other characters. Unfortunately, Converters ARE VIP-only, so conversion isn't an option for Premiums.

As I said above, Dark Astoria is Incarnate Content, and is open to everyone. The missions are VIP only, but anyone can go in and fight the Incarnate Foes there, even a level 1 on a completely free account. Catalysts DO drop off the enemies there, though I'm not sure if they'll drop for non-VIPs. You'd have to kill a LOT before you could safely hazard a guess.

I'm confused. If they aren't fighting, then who's getting slapped?

Yes, but is it STRONG and PRETTY?

You might find yourself happy with the Hybrid slot, then. There's no enemy-affecting powers in it, but from what little I've read about it, it sounds like it's intended to be an Incarnate take on the Leadership pool.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a later slot with enemy-affecting debuff, mez and/or damage auras, but that isn't on the table yet, nor in anything in Beta so far.

I'm gonna tell you a secret. You ready?

The RNG hates everybody. It's designed that way.

Anyone who makes their fortune off the RNG - Be it farming for drops, making random rolls, converting enhancements, or anything else - doesn't do it by being lucky. Even if you have a stroke of luck and your first Alignment Merit roll is a Numi Unique, a Miracle Unique and three LotG +Rech, that's not enough to "have it made" unless all you ever slot is SOs and Common IOs, and only a fool would expect every roll following it to be as good.

Those of us who make it off the randoms don't do it by being lucky, we do it by being stubborn. By trying over and over again until it goes right. Of course, a little research to find the best odds helps, but even when everything's as good as it's going to get, the odds are still stacked against us.

Think of it this way: If you were to play the lottery, would you have a better chance to win if you had one ticket, or if you had 100 tickets? Every bad guy you punch, every Merit you roll a recipe on, and every converter you use is a lottery ticket. The more tickets you have, the more likely you are to win. Yeah, you might lose. But, unlike real life, you can afford to try repeatedly and fail - No matter how many bad guys you punch, there's always at least one more.

Fixed. Taking away Synapse's blasts would be wrong, and NPCs aren't required to have pairings that are valid for PCs.

Holy crap, already? Nice!

1- /t @Person Forming the BAF, I'm in the middle of a Flashback right now, and can't join the League. I'm entering the queue, please leave a spot open for me.

2- Enter the queue.

3- Join the BAF when it starts.

4- Finish the trial.

5- Get barfed out of the trial back into your flashback (having lost progress on the mission you were in when the BAF started, but not your place in the story arc).

Where's the problem?

I'm fairly certain that this is why we don't have asymmetrical stuff.

With symmetrical pieces, you just create half, then click a button, and the computer mirrors it into the other side. Do a little clean up, and it's finished.

With asymmetrical pieces, the artist has to model the entire thing by hand. This results in roughly double the work being needed.

I would love to see each shoulder option given "Both", "Right Only" and "Left Only" options. This should, theoretically, take a fairly small amount of work (though the menus would need to be tweaked to avoid a HUGE bloat on the list). Adding truly asymmetrical pieces (like the Gladiator shoulder) is likely to be an infrequent occurence.

Brawl is not a Brute power, therefore it does not accept Brute ATOs (nor any other ATOs). Neither do attacks out of Power Pools, like Boxing, Kick, or Air Superiority.

Melee cones take PBAoE sets*.
Ranged cones take Targeted AoE sets.
There is no such thing as a "cone set"**.

*Some narrow melee cones (like Stalker Head Splitter) have used Melee sets, but I think this is an error, and all occurences I can think of have been fixed.

**Befofe IOs were added, there used to be a "Cone Range" SO, but that was folded into the standard Range SO ages ago. Since then, there haven't been any cone-specific enhancements.

As I told you last time you replied with "Look at my spreadsheet", that's not a helpful answer, since I can't open it on the device I use to browse the forums.

And this shows that you're not even answering the question I asked, since Store Bought Enhancements can't be Boosted or Catalyzed.
