Hmmm. I eventually bought the game because I had watched a friend play it a few times. I liked the look and the music in Atlas Park. The first time I heard him Taunt something I was hooked. I asked to borrow the manual and read over it and showed it to another friend.

That 2nd friend bought the game right away and played for 2 weeks or so before I was able to also buy it.

What keeps me here is primarily the ability to choose solo, small team, or large team play AND my ability to mostly be able to play any character I want. I can jump onto any of my characters at anytime for some solo play, never having to think, "Oh, I can't play this character right now, because they are at quest point 6 and that needs a team." For regular teaming I can bring any level character and I can invite any of my friends irregardless of their level.

If I want more structured teaming, I can choose task forces or trials. I can also just do nothing but travel around and get some badges, looking at the beautiful scenery.

The damage for the reactive does scale to level. I am not sure how the mechanics behind the power function to make this happen though.

On an even con lvl 51 Chief Soldier, the proc damage is 13.38 per/tick.
On a +3 lvl 54 Chief Soldier, the proc damage is 8.69/tick.
On a -11 lvl 40 Chief Soldier, the proc damage is 29.44/tick.

Those numbers are consistent with the purple patch. As far as I know, only the damage portion of Reactive is treated this way, but I have not used a Power Analyzer to check the values of the other debuffs vs. various levels of enemies and I am going from hearsay.

It might be interesting to have a "hair" aura. Using FX to simulate flowing, moving hair could be interesting. A flowing stringy or hair-like aura could be interesting even if it is not useful as hair.

Stryker's post looks correct to me.
Use the RWZ dummies and monitor both the FX and the Healing Delivered chat log. You can see the DoT will sometimes stop, but then start up again. I always thought the listed percentage was the chance that the enemy received the temp power. Now I am guessing the temp power always is granted to the enemy. Interesting. The Temp Power is also granted pretty fast, if the first tick hits, it actually beats out the landing of damage of my actual power.

So is it possible to stack these significantly more than I have been thinking? For example, each different reactive can stack mutliple times, so if I have Reactive Total Radial and you have Reactive Partial Radial, the enemy could have 4 of mine stacked AND 4 of yours? Is it possible to get more than a 10% resistance debuff going from Reactive if people have a variety of the Reactive levels of power?

Reactive also is a bit odd when you check out the detailed power information. All the other Interface procs only grant one power. Most of the Reactives grant 2 powers, but the ones that just add the debuff only grant 1 power. All the others, also seem to grant the common tier power as well as their own power.

I was on a Lambda trial that had the double door issue once during the acid collection phase.

That Lambda was started on 05-04-2011 23:20:02 Eastern Daylight time on the Guardian server, my character name was Betty Sizzle. I was not on the acid collection team though, but Call Me Awesome was and saw the issue. The time of the encounter with the problem door should be between 23:45:00 and 23:47:00.

Clear Mind used to have a nice passive animation, but it was (IIRC) 3.1 seconds long. At some point in the past year to 18 months, they changed the CM animation to be the same as Speed Boost, which is a speedy 1 second animation. This was a pretty big buff to Empathy, really helping out keeping the buff active, while significantly shortening the opportunity cost.

But I loathed the aggressive animation for the power. While I appreciated the buff, I was not happy with the choice of animation, especially since it had completely the opposite feel as the old animation and because the old animation is not very long, but just had a huge pause at the end. They could have made the same change, shortening the cast time, while keeping the old animation (and flagging only the 1st second of that animation as rooted). And that is now what they finally did.

Thank you devs. I appreciate it very much.

Excellent. My Fire/Fire/Flame blaster has been enjoying Clarion as well. Not having to re-toggle the auras back on and always being able to respond to enemies is very, very nice.

Try targeting like the third guy!

Please no. I'd be OK if the SB animation gets added as an option in Power Customization, but I am thrilled it is back to its old glory (while retaining the faster cast time).
