True, but not all +perception powers work as super senses thematically. Targeting Drone, for example, is not really super senses in the traditional comic book sense, it's using technology to enhance regular senses to super sense level.

Maybe I'm over-thinking it but it's just how I tend to see things. One of the reasons I like the Leadership powers is that they don't really impose any thematic restrictions on your character. My Traps Defender uses them to represent the advanced targeting systems built into his suit.

No, it's basically a single target melee attack (similar to Scorch):

Yes, but MMs also get 3 pet summon powers, 2 pet upgrade power and 1 misc power. A Void Hunter VEAT would need sufficient powers to make up a full set and the problem is they are a bit of a one-trick pony. They get a gun that is used to kill Khelds, along with Kheld style shields and melee attacks. Not a particularly interesting AT to play IMHO.

Now story-wise a Void VEAT might be interesting but the reason that it would be interesting is because of the Council connection. That being said I think it would be possible to make a Council VEAT that has an interesting story AND interesting gameplay mechanics based on one of the other Council bands. Personally I'd love to see this, the Council are one of my favorite enemy groups and a VEAT working for them would be very interesting.

It's tricky to say if this would be overpowered or not. Comparing a team of 8 Defenders to a team of 4 Blasters and 4 Buff/Buff characters I think that the Defender team would be more powerful. On the other hand for teams with a more random array of characters the impact of a Buff/Buff would be a lot more noticeable. Probably still not overpowered but getting closer.

In any case it's academic, I agree with Dechs and Silverado. All characters should be contributing to damage. This isn't WoW where healing is a cornerstone of team play. Buffs in general are always nice and very powerful but they aren't required. Damage is always required so to quote Starship Trooper: "I only have one rule. Everyone fights."

This isn't actually as easy as it sounds. For the most part the magnitude of powers are determined by the AT modifiers not by whether they are primary or secondary powers. The devs could do this but they would actually need to make new versions of all the powers with adjusted magnitudes. Not a huge issue, but really annoying in terms of updating the powers

Actually, if you look at the system reports it give you all of the inf fromt he sale and then subtracts the sale fee so technically the seller is paying the fee.

No, read my post again, I explained the math. Your net gain is 90million regardless of whether you list it for 1inf or 100million inf. Assuming an item sells, your total fees (as in listing fee + sales fees) are the same no matter what your listing price was, it's based purely on the sale price at that point.

Listing at a low price does 3 things:
1. Helps your item sell faster
2. Gets you a lower sales price
3. Means you don't have to worry about listing to high and losing money when you pull and relist

*sigh* While the basic premise of listing at one inf so it sell immediately is not wrong, the second part of your statement is completely and utterly wrong.You are not saving ANY inf by listing for 1, you are simply shifting when you have to pay it.

When you list an item you pay 5% of the price as a listing fee. When you sell an item you have to pay 10% of the sale price as a sale fee. BUT the inf you already paid as the listing fee is subtracted from the sale fee.

For example, lets say I list a widget for 50million but it sells for 70million. I would pay a 2.5million listing fee (50mill * 5%). When it sells I would pay an additional 4.5million (70million * 10% - 2.5million), my total fees would be 7million. Now suppose I instead listed it at 1inf but it still sold for 70million. I would pay a 5inf listing fee and when it sold I would pay an additional 6999995 inf (70million * 10% - 5) and my total fees would still be 7million.

Yeah, I've got that one to . When you say "it triggers very seldomly" do you mean that it procs less often than the 15% that it's supposed to?

I always figured it was A Team Firing

I suspect that what the code actually does with these sort of powers is check for range as if it were a regular sphere power but then ignore anyone who is not within a few feet of the ground. This is purely a guess, but it would be the simplest way to code it.

I'm pretty sure they are exactly as tall as they are wide. The fact that they appear otherwise is an illusion caused by two factors. First they are spherical, that means the further you are vertically the closer you have to be horizontally. Secondly, the powers emanate from a single point not from the edge of the character box.

Oil Slick Arrow is somewhat buggy. In theory it only dies if you hit it with electric or fire damage and automatically lights afterwards. In practice it doesn't always light and sometimes vanishes without being killed. I haven't noticed any differences based on where I place it, although I'm not prepared to rule that out.

Also, thanks for everyone who posted. I've been toying with making an Earth/TA myself and was about to post my questions when I saw this thread .

Personally, I do see it as a bad thing. One of the lovely, lovely things about CoH is that you don't have to grind for good gear. Grinding for gear is an option if you enjoy that sort of thing but there are so many ways to do an end run around it that you don't need to unless you want to. It's pretty easy to get a few hundred merits leveling up a character (either by running your own arcs or doing a few TFs). These can be converted into sufficient inf for a good set of IOs. Alternatively if you are willing to spend the time you can make money marketeering (which I personally find a lot more enjoyable than grinding).

Compare to a game like WoW where if you want top gear you have to grind it out yourself on every character you want it for. I'd much rather have that be one way of getting gear instead of the only way.

Since when have Scrappers been team oriented? They are excellent at mass carnage but aren't really team oriented. Not to say that they're bad on a team but they aren't team oriented in the way that Tankers, defenders and Controllers are.

A good deal for you, less so for the person that you're trading with. The problem is that at the moment the redside markets are awash with Infamy due to the last round of AE exploits so 1 Infamy has less buying power than 1 Influence.

EDIT: As a side note, I don't mean to imply that you personally were abusing the exploit. I'm simply explaining why this is a bad time to be attempting to trade infamy for influence.

Well if they had several thousand people testing for exploits I'm sure they could find them to. It's not a matter of intelligence but manpower. There are a lot more exploiters looking for holes than paragon QA team members.

That being said, I suspect they find out about most of them either through data-mining or bug reports. People reporting exploitative arcs obviously helps but bear in mind this is also all no their server, simple datamining could easily be used to keep an eye out for people who are earning rewards at a rate significantly higher than the standard or for arcs that are being run over and over.
