Quote:I wouldn't say it is a 'given' that it's going to change, but I could live with something like this. Though I'd have to test it out to say for sure.Originally Posted by Daemodand
It's a given Super Strength's Rage is going to change, but how?
My take:
Reduce damage to 74%.
Reduce ToHit to 5% (Enhanceable)
Add 20% Accuracy (Enhanceable)
Add 86.5% ToHit Debuff Resistance
Click costs 30 Endurance to activate (equivalent to .25 EPS), 120 second Recharge/Duration (fixed unenhanceable/unbuffable/undebuffable)
No crash on power expiration, does not double stack.
The crash is "built in" to give 100% uptime.
Personally, I really dislike the 10 seconds of no damage. It takes the flow out of my murderous rampages ... -
Quote:No worries. It does look strange, I would be suspicious too. Heck, I still am kinda suspicious as to why that other post is identical to my brothers, hehe.Originally Posted by Wassy
Alrighty, that's fair enough. It just looked incredibly strange (as pointed out by Deebs) that two brand new accounts had the exact same votes less than half an hour apart.

I also found that more than a little suspicious.
What boggles my mind is... if you're going to go far enough to cheat the vote in a contest like this one... why then make it horrifically obvious?
If these can be somehow proved to be honest votes, I'll take them. But otherwise, they're too questionable for my liking.
No idea who the other guy is. -
Nice Q&A. I got some things out of it that I didn't know yet.
Were people really expecting exact questions about future projects getting answered? How naive ... You should read more game developer Q&A's. -

Quote:This actually is a problem. When exactly did /help and the little H icon in chat stop working? I tried to answer some questions someone was asking in the help channel last week, because noone else was, but I couldn't because all I got was 'help takes 0 arguments' ...Originally Posted by m3lon
I was on a trial account recently and on top of the trouble finding a team I actually found it pretty hard to find help. I could only talk in local and /hc, except it doesn't tell you in can talk in /hc. I assumed that like every other MMO the help channel would be /help or /h, but nope, those bring up some blob of text which didn't answer my question. At that point I forgot about my original question (though it was probably something trolly) and was scouring /help to figure out how to talk on /help. The worst part is that when I had the actual help channel highlighted and would try to chat into it, it would tell me that the command "/help takes 0 arguments"
I only then learned of the existance of the /hc command by looking on paragonwiki.
Not very intuitive ...
I'm nearing my 4 year vet, and I always read all the patch notes, but somehow I missed this change ...
EDIT: Meh, should've read through the whole topic before replying.
Anyway, they at least should make sure you can use the help channel by highlighting the H symbol. (yes, I bugged it) -
I always* take my rezzes, but it never bothers me if someone skips theirs.

I didn't get anything either...
Talking about getting slapped in the face with 'hundreds of Euro' is just too ... idiotic for words. -

This is a slap in every one's face how paid monthly, and didn't get a thing. Some got boni in the worth of hundreds of euro.

Great video again. I always enjoy you creations.

It's alright....lol, I won't expect you to understand!
Where did I say anything about being content with being mediocre? And why would I need ideas to make this company better? I do plenty of that at my job, I don't need it in my hobby.
Also 300-400 k subscribers? CoH didn't have that many in its best days. If we have 150k at the moment I'd be surprised. -
Quote:Sarcasm dude, sarcasm. I thought it was really obvious ...Originally Posted by Purge
And that is way there is HOW many still playing this game? LAUGHABLE!!
What?Quote:Originally Posted by Purge
TrueMetal...how many idea's have you had to make this company better? Any....probably not and you just keep playing a game that is OK with 300 - 400 thousand people. Alright, if you think thats OK, well then you can keep wondering why! Here's something a wiseman once said: The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. William Arthur Ward maybe YOU might need another: We must overcome the notion that we must be regular...it robs you of the chance to be extraordinary and leads you to the mediocre. 300 to 400 thousand people is NOT even mediocre. So, now I ask you....Gee, I wonder why? -
Quote:And what would half-way be?Originally Posted by Wondering_Fury
It still doesn't explain the reasoning as to why us, I'm not ignoring the fact that we have a much smaller population, I completely agree that in terms of damage mitigation it's better plopping us.
However it's getting incredibly irritating that we are pretty much always the ones to be inconvenienced. I'm not proposing bring the NA servers down for a patch during their prime-time, but at least meet us half-way.

Really, I get it why people are annoyed by this. But it's a test server, it is for testing whatever needs to be tested at the moment.
Seeing this as 'getting shafted' is really reaching. -

Quote:No it hasn't, it's just people blowing things way out of proportion yet again.** Is it ideal? No of course not. But how exactly does this ruin anyone's game? Yes, some (many) arcs have reduced rewards. But really is worth all this crying? Just skip those for now,or if it's your arc take it off line for a bit if you're concerned about any negative points you might get from the kiddies.Originally Posted by callandor
I would agree in full, but this exploit had been going strong from day one. I don't agree with all the rage-"quitting", but it seems to me that the bugged patch has done far more damage then the exploit.
Now if this was a permanent 'fix' I'd agree (sans the childish tantrums). But it isn't a better fix is in the works. So seriously, get a grip.
**as is shown by the dive my forum rep took for speaking out against overreacting morons and the fun comments I got! Looking forward to the effect of this post. *waves at nerdragers* -

Quote:I'd do it. And I'd say that by most peoples standards I'm not an evil person.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
Some interesting thoughts:
Let me bring a few things in; a couple people have answered this, but I want to bring it back.
Even if the act of murdering unsuspecting millions to save billions is evil, is everyone who performs that act an evil person?
No.Quote:Was he born evil?
No.Quote:Do his good deeds in any way mitigate the bad?
I think so.Quote:Is he a good person?
Not to me.Quote:Does it matter?
Yes. You can't let the deaths of millions of innoncents(or even just 1) go unpunished.Quote:Should Ozy go to prison (where he can presumably do no more evil or good)?
No. What's done is done. Nothing can change for the better by exposing the truth.Quote:Should the truth about his act be exposed even if nuclear doom awaits as the price ("never compromise, even in the face of Armageddon")(should he stand trial)?
He condemned millions of innocents for things that might have happened in the future, and considering the circumstances I can't really fault him for that. But no, noone should be condemned for things he might or might not do.Quote:Should Ozy be condemned for things he might do in the future to maintain world peace?
Snipers are killers, not muderers. Assassins are a lot trickier. Selfdefense should never be punished imo as long as it stays in relation to the threath posed. The last 2 are murderers in my mind. They should be legaly punished for their kills, even though the last example isn't evil. The situation with the home defender changes the moment he can confirm that the invader is armed and a threath to him/his loved ones.Quote:On the subject of murderers being evil...
Just some things to consider on the specific subject of 'killing a person without their foreknowledge, outside of actual ongoing combat, because in your mind they are a threat or have committed a capital crime'...
Military/SWAT snipers?
Government Assassins?
A person attempting to escape a kidnapper/captor?
A person defending against a home invader (assuming they do not know whether the invader is armed or means harm)?
A person under a mortal threat to themselves or family should they not murder (for instance, committing murder in order to ransom a loved one)?
I can find myself perfectly in your reasoning.Quote:My philosophy is that in the absence of omniscience, telepathy, etc, the ethics of a person must be defined in terms of what they beleive about the circumstances of an act as well as their overall pattern of behavior, rather than the heinous quality of an individual act.
...
The legal considerations of such an act, in my mind, are seperate from the moral ones: even if the person who regularly commits murder honestly beleives they have a good reason every time, they might still need to be imprisoned for the good of society as a whole...whether they 'deserve' it or not. -
Quote:I'm exactly the same. My SS/invul tanks just about anything including the full Freedom Phalanx (with some team help obviously) and I have built him completely for + hp (and as a side effect regen).Originally Posted by TrancEnding
I use my SS/Invuln through ITF, LRSF, and LGTF religiously simply 'cause its capable of carrying a team on its own. Not saying that no other builds can't, but it can. Its pretty nice when your health bar hardly gets dented.
/Invuln can take Bab's Footstomp and State's Knockout Blow all day but Sister's Psi Dart will take a chunk if it manages to snag me through my defenses.
I aimed for capped hp but some highlights of my build had 3,157maxhp (w/ DP), 27hp/s before DP and 48-49hp/s w/ DP. 80% S/L Resistance and 122 max endurance.
Downside, is that it takes a lot of investment to make the build
Personally I don't get why everyone goes for the defense capped builds. Defense capping is easy on teams with an SO build ... so all that extra defense is just wasted, while +hp help you when the defense fails. -

Quote:It's the pre-patch download. This happens with every new issue. It contains the majority of the files from the new issue, that people can download in advance so the download servers have some more breathing space on launch day. So, yes it means that the next issue will be ready "soon". But since Issue 17 isn't even in open beta yet, I'd count at least two more weeks untill release.Originally Posted by renfuuma
i couldn't think of the place to really ask this but this seems as good of a place as any I suppose.
Anyone else got the download after quitting the game today? Does that mean the next issue is ready?? will i get my demon summon finally?, it was like an 800mb dl that started the moment i quit so I was wondering about it seeing how I couldn't find any Info on it. I figured this had to be it. -
