PvE and PvP Powers Rebalancing: Floyd “Castle” Grubb and the powers designers have been hard at work in finding ways to strike a better balance between the many powers in the game. The scope of what they are doing is too broad to go into details here, but we’re very excited and we’ll share more information soon. Suffice it to say that we know that you don’t want your PvE powers adjusted because of how they play in PvP, so we’re taking a new tact in power balancing with Issue 13.

[/ QUOTE ]

Only thing I'm excited about. But thanks for the update. Can we get villain content now?

I wish this had showcased at least ONE new bit of I13 info.

Nostalgia doesn't mollify our need for I13 news, LH!

My guess is some coder opened up the base building code, there was this high, piercing scream and they later found him huddled on the floor, repeating only the words "... the horror... the horror..."

[/ QUOTE ]

I lol'd. Thanks for the laugh.

[ QUOTE ]
Ok, we know.

We should have had said something more by now, about Issue 13. But… like all great architectural endeavors, Issue 13 is taking on a life of its own and we’re not quite ready to spill forth all the information.

So, just a quick note to say thanks for your patience, even though we know you may not really be patient. Trust us, it’s coming; we’re working on it – and there’s more great stuff coming (like you haven’t heard that before, but really, we mean it!)



Thanks!

I hate you

DoTs are a given though. If Devious didn't know that... well, small wonder he thinks Ninjitsu sucks.

it's also being bugged by my KD/KB/-def on my kat/reg

Unconfirmed on my Katana/Ninjitsu

my Spines/Nin DoT/immob

I ain't rolling a Banana stalker to confirm this, but it's likely unconfirmable too.

Maybe the mobs are just so afraid of my awesome secondary that they won't dare attack again?

Devious, you should read the boards more. We nailed down the PvE Placate bug months ago. It's not Stalkers, it's Elec's -recovery. The AI isn't set to ignore it like other debuffs.

I was under the impression the point of this thread was that it had no point. It was just that STRONG and PRETTY.

Been done.

Well yeah, where ya think I got it from.

This thread makes me want to roll a Mace/EA just for the suck factor, but I already made an Elec/Traps :/

In PvP Scrappers do have more damage though..

[/ QUOTE ]

Especially not in PvP. The one advantage Scrappers have is AoE, and that does diddly squat in PvP.

@Rantman.. er, Katman:

Why doesn't it work in PVP like it does in PVE?? it works fine there, both when we placate enemies and when we are placated by them.

[/ QUOTE ]

Approach a Succubus, have her use Entrance (essentially Dominate), then let her Placate. Then laugh.

[ QUOTE ]
Stalkers have less health, defense, and damage as Scrappers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Health, yes. Defence, no. Damage, HELL no.

Yes you can >_>

I always love hearing news about Sister Flame.

And I never get over the fact that she has a villain named "Takes Care of Pets".

QFT

Dear mods, forgive this quoting for the truth; it is not intended to be a +1 count. It is intended as an expression of agreement, as the quoted poster summed up my intended statement prior to my own.

'cause mine's better. *stab*

(QR)

Aren't there better things to develop than yet another cash vacuum? Respecs are a dime a dozen these days, and charging ten bucks for them is more than a little ridiculous. I doubt I'd even pay ten bucks to have my pri/sec rechosen.

False obituary threads are considered highly improper, and knowingly posting false news of a player’s real-life death may result in a ban of both your forum account and your game account.

[/ QUOTE ]
Wasn't aware this was an issue on the boards...

[/ QUOTE ]

This has not been an issue, but it was put in place merely as a preventative measure to prevent it from ever becoming an issue.

That goes for a lot of these rules in fact. You guys and gals are a great community, probably the best I have ever had the pleasure to interact with, and a lot of these rules are unnecessary, but for us to be as consistent as possible in our moderation, we needed to update things. By having these rules in place, if it ever becomes an issue, it allows us to reference a broken rule rather than make our moderation seem like an arbitrary decision.

[/ QUOTE ]
I will point out to everyone that this particular rule was in the old forum rules as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm just rather curious if "true" obituary threads are permitted, and how one would tell the difference.

10. Avoid using profanity.

Profanity in any form is discouraged. Using any means to bypass the profanity filter (for example: partial masking, such as asterisks or punctuation marks) is prohibited.

[/ QUOTE ]

Could you clarify this more specifically? Is typing [censored] disallowed? Is there an actual "limit" to profanity? At times I tend to be slightly profane, but I never circumvent the filter and typically confine myself to hells and damns, or at most a [censored] or two.

(Sorry if this was already clarified, but I didn't see it...)

Nooooooooo! Not the TV!

Love this thread. Shame I just recently deleted all my screenshots

Just a heads up - BaB confirmed that the blue tower buffs his ToHit as well as "Other things". Thread is here..

[/ QUOTE ]

In the above discussion, we determined the abilities of all the towers. if you're too lazy to go and read, I'll just post it here:


Yellow Tower:
+175% defense to all types (capped)
-18.1 hold/stun/immobilize

Red Tower:
+105% resistance to smashing/lethal/energy
+105% damage smashing/lethal/energy

+300% stun
+300% knock(back/up)

Green Tower:
+2000% regeneration
+50% Max Health (capped)
~3250 Heal (every five seconds)

Blue Tower:
+400% Recharge (capped)
+200% Run Speed
+30% ToHit
Special

as a side note: we have always found that putting ANY toggle power (preferably, radiation infection) on LR will stop his spawning. Not sure how or why... but it's worked for us, so we use it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nice to see I was right about a good portion of my guesses (if anyone remembers the thread I made several months back). Thanks for posting this.

[ QUOTE ]
Any suggestions on speeding up the general killing?

[/ QUOTE ]

Try killing the engineers on those towers. Whenever we've killed them, the lag has always significantly decreased.

[ QUOTE ]
You clearly run with teams (PUGs?) that don't whine when you try the tower strategy.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd whine. It's a ridiculous tactic to make an already simple AV even simpler through the use of an AI exploit.

[ QUOTE ]
You all have to admit there is something slightly amusing about opening a discussion thread about a topic in which no details have been given.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, this is ridiculous; especially considering we've been told many times that these types of threads are completely and utterly pointless and non-constructive.

Ex: Why post something that is incredibly cryptic and giving not just little, but no details whatsoever?

[ QUOTE ]
i think it's perverse that uve got your kid hooked on video games already.

Is that you, Jack Thompson?
