It's called communication. It's not one button; you have to use a whole bunch of keys to type a message carrying your intent. Something like this:

"Area knockback is making it hard on the melee characters. Will players with area knockback please limit or control it better? Single-target knockback, as always, isn't a problem. And will melee characters please control thier targeting and movement better, so as not to cause team wipes? Thanks!"

See, a lot more keystrokes. But you can set it up as a bind if you encounter the situation frequently.

I've got a couple of characters over 500 at the moment, but I see it'll be a while before I need to worry.

It does feel like a lot of fundamental changes have been happening (or are planned soon) lately, though.

There's a reward merit cap? What is it? I just looked in the wiki under "Merit Rewards" and "Reward Merits" and didn't see any reference to it that I recognize.

Here's a little chart of the proportion of damage types you'll typically encounter in the game:

Werner published in the Scrapper forums recently (he got it from someone else, I'm not sure who should get the credit).

A couple of points:

• That's a rough estimate; it might be distributed quite differently if you were farming groups with specific damage types
• That 2.04% Psi includes normal psi attacks that are affected by positional defense along with the rare mind control powers that do not have positional components. So the "leftover" positional defense of a soft-capped typed defense build will help against much of that.
• Dull Pain can help ease you through some hard hits in Psi missions (admittedly, it's less useful if you're farming great masses of Psi enemies)

Correct. I propose we name the result Frankenserver.

If we mixed X and X, Bride of Frankenserver.

So if I understand it, you're saying Dan Rather is unaligned? Or at least variable?

That'll really disappoint the folks at Fox News. They went to a lot of trouble to assign him a specific alignment.

Memphis Bill's text quoted above did so. The one you didn't feel like reading.

Well, splitting the sun is bound to make you a lot of enemies.

Point taken, edited my original.

Correct as far as I know -- I never encountered the sound looping bug, or at least never noticed it, and I have played a character with Invincibility rather heavily the past few months. I'm still not noticing it, so either it's fixed or I'm the wrong guy to ask.

I am getting the disappearing visual effect issue. In the costume creator power customization screen, there's a hesitation, the effect appears briefly, and then it vanishes. In normal play, I just don't see the "rays emanating from my torso" effect of Inv at all.

Thank you very much for your attention to this detail!

Say...while we've got him here, can anyone tell us if Spines power customization color is savable yet? It's been a while since I last tried, but as of the launch night of power customization, the game won't even create a save file name for spines, and they revert to a different color (red in my case, don't know if it's random) every time I exit the creator and re-enter.

I like, and recommend, ranged Shot (the snipe). But my Blaster doesn't "single out a troublesome boss or lts. and kill it with the snipe." At least, not without cycling a bunch of other attacks. And you're killing bosses with the Defender-strength snipe? Is this by using Fulcrum Shift?

Well, I don't remember exactly, but things like "character name," "character," "new character," "naming conventions," and so on.

In general, I find searching any wiki (it's not just you) to be much less forgiving of typos and the choice of highly specific terms than, say Google. But that's probably a reflection on the quality of Google's algorithm and not on wiki editors' dedication.

Archery has a PBAoE nuke? In addition to its ranged nuke, Rain of Arrows?

Yeah, Scrapper and Tanker Shield Charge was adjusted for AT modifiers, which meant a small buff to the Tanker version and a big buff to the Scrapper version.

For the record, Kismet give "to-hit buff" which is different from, and somewhat better than, the global accuracy buff set bonuses give. But you should be swimming in buffs anyway with Rage and Invincibility and global acc bonuses from sets.

I've /bugged this twice. Your description matches my experience exactly (I'll add that "bright" invincibility is equally not visible).

Presumably they know about it now and we shouldn't harass them, but it's been over a month and several patches haven't mentioned it (and your post is the first mention I could find). I don't want to pester, but I don't want to be so quiet no one notices. It sure would be nice to know if this is one of those bugs people are unaware of (and it would be useful to keep trying to bring it to their attention) or a "known issue."

I believe it's categorically impossible to intentionally bring up <nasty Internet reference> in any way that can be described as "innocent."

Oh no, my long comment was indeed directed at the thread topic (for once!). And I agree with you that non-softcapped Invuln is pretty tough; mine has done well on low-level TFs without his set bonuses. It's a pretty good set.

Thanks for being a good sport about the grammar/spelling nitpick; can't help myself sometimes.
