keep in mind too, it's just 3 insights needed to reach the cap. Or 1 Keen insight + 1 insight. Or just 1 uncanny sight or Sight Beyond Sight.

Not that bad frankly.

We don't have any explicitly hard numbers for anything yet, though I think Field Operative had something like 200% regen? I may not be remembering that correctly.

but the way they talked I24 is probably hitting beta within the next couple weeks.

There's always just popping yellows too >>

Frankly I'm thrilled for the devices changes.

It actually makes me -not- want to play my electric/devices blaster until the changes come.

Nearly every manipulation set gets *1* power revamped that adds some form of survival mechanic.

Like Cloaking Device is now 'Field Operative' which boosts regen and recovery.

Drain Psyche wasn't touched.

Touch of Fear = Touch of Beyond. Big recovery buff (does not stack)

Common theme, for the most part you don't need to stack recharge, a 'baseline' ability of the archtype.

Blazing Aura = Cauterizing Aura, every time it ticks it heals you for a small amount.

Chilling Embrace = Frigid Protection. Ticks less frequently but it's range increased to 30 feet. Slows them. Every time it ticks it adds an absorb shield to your character (3 sec duration)

Cloaking Device = Field Operative.

Lightning Clap = Force of Thunder. If you don't use it near any enemies, stillg ives you buff. When you use, adds a regen and recovery buff.

Conserve Power = Energize, similar to Electric Armor and Energy Aura. More about regen/recovery, less about upfront heal. Smaller upfront heal, bigger regen.

if you have over +22% To-Hit, any snipe you fire will remove the interupt time.

Devices just got waay awesome

40 and 50 range attacks now have a range of 85.

'hunt for information'? They put the recording up almost right away after it's done.

I might today, either during the live or just the recording. Dunno, just back from a trip to pittsburgh last weekend and feeling a bit burnt out still XD

Yeah, whether or not you feel the changes are necessary we know that changes are indeed being made.

And it's pretty much a certainty that any changes will improve performance, so even if you don't think they -need- the boost, it just means they'll be that much better than how you feel they already are.

it's a win-win either way, some people just like to be spoilsports :P

Patch Notes

The Blaster AT will new accumulate a universal damage buff proportionate to the amount of XP debt they carry. They will also have an option to turn off Patrol XP.

Or Night Ward for freemies. Guess it's VIP exclusive for a lil while.

The multiverse in CoH is pretty much like Sliders. Parallel earths with divergent timelines based on different outcomes of events and choices. Sometimes small things, like everyone's eyes are a different shade of blue, and sometimes big things like the Nemesis finally succeeded in his plan and wiped out the earth leaving nothing but automatons and his body in a coffin.

Time lords can trigger a regeneration from natural causes, but a fatal harm will almost always trigger it (Unless it.. "happens too fast" apparently? My only sticking point with 'Turn Left')

Romana's change has never been totally explained, it was really Douglas Adams being funny but no writer since has ever elaborated or expanded on it. Some speculation is that Female timelord were able to choose their regeneration while males are stuck being totally random (assuming the regeneration is self triggered instead of recovering from fatal injuries)

I've never seen it spawn higher than a Boss lvl critter before in all the times I've run it

There are a number of ideas that were planned or sketched out, some even designed and developed, yet will never, ever see the light of day in City of Heroes because the developers have their own ideas and projects that they're planning, sketching out, designing and developing. Some things will be abandoned for various reasons, some things will see the light of day.

Something from a developer that has long been gone from the company is pretty much dead in the water.

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if some of Penny's ramblings ended up as inspiration for some of Night Ward, I mean we have Glowballs (animus arcana) and actual Black Knights.

And she is a psychic. Her 'self induced' psychosis code to escape the horrors of the asylum could have been subconciously inspired by all the supernatural horror manifesting -in the same area-. Remember, Mother Mayhem's nut house is in First Ward and thus Night Ward.

Yah, they finally fixed that bug. The discount should be applying correctly

Eh, Citadel is more tedious than outright annoying, but that's largely because of the villain group involved.
