  1. Castle must think programmers grow on trees, hours of extra work for a 5% buff to PSI defense, like thats ever gonna have a noticable effect as AFAIK the system chooses your best defence it will only have any effect at all against those who do pure PSI dmg don't know how prevlant they are but they can't be that common. Or perhaps I'm wrong as the 'best defence' system may only work on situational vs. dmg type but I find it hard to believe with that precedent the system chooses your worst defence in type vs. type conflicts, maybe it's an average but then 2.5% to rare dmg types ain't really anything to write home about either.

    *note* Don't mean that really just continuing your theme

    Oh and enjoy the 'final front ear' mate
  3. I would imagine AoE from charecters is calculated from origin point not 'furthest extent' could be wrong but thats the way I see it.
    Back OT this is a great idea that has been discussed b4 but as NC 'inhereted' the code for the game from another company and it has been proven that even the 'internal' notes for certain effects (RE taunt) have proven to be false I doubt they are really going to tamper with the code that much to even attempt this at the moment.
    Nice idea, given a little time it might even happen.

    Say I want to play a controller who is a natural origin human. There is currently no primary available that fits that description.

    Plant-Gaia loves you so much she sends her 'children' to protect you

    Just 2 possible ideas I'm sure others could come up with better/more.

    If this editor allows us to add our own custom Archvillains the devs will earn a big kiss from me! I read with great enthusiasm about the archvillain system they had considered some time ago (over a year and a half since I head about it, in fact) and this would be an excellent time for a workaround method of adding just that.

    With our own storylines and our own villains, Architect could be one of the greatest features ever, and easily one of the best roleplay features of any MMO to date!

    Personally, I hope players names cannot be used unless its by them.

    I have taken the time to create my characters, outfit them as I wish etc and it would hack me off no end to find that one of them had been created as a fat blue elf, wearing a bikini in somebody elses mission arc.

    I loled the first time Positron appears in a pink bikini I'll swear he'll get a huff and take his ball home.

    With PvP you get to wave your tackle as some newbie who will never return, and watch your hard earned PvP rep vanish into nothingness if you don't keep on wasting your time. No tangible reward at the end of it, so a total waste of time.

    Couldnt you kill them while they were busy laughing at your tackle?

    Minus Recharge

    It depends entirely which number is quoted a -75% realtime reduction actually represents a -300% recharge 'bonus' or something like that. (thats if it works the same way in the negative as it does in the positive)

    Out of sheer curiosity, is there anywhere that lists the forum titles?

    Thanks, seems to me that legend and renowned should be the other way around, surley being legendary is superior to being renowned?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It is, and believe me when I say that Renowned is superior to Forum Cartel.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Especially as the 'Cartel' have areputation in my mind for generally 'belittling' those less experienced than them, I apolgise for those that genuinaly don't do this but the two notable exceptions I can think of both happen to be female funnily enough.

    It just seems a waste of time to use slots on lower tier powers that no longer appear in my attack chain once I hit 35+

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And so we have respecs. And still too many slots compared to useful powers

    And the suggestion is a major redesign, not a QoL improvement. Does this look like the face of a man who cares

  13. Fair point Extrumus though procs are somewhat limited by the fact on a couple excist in any enhancment type, It just seems a waste of time to use slots on lower tier powers that no longer appear in my attack chain once I hit 35+ and the rain of slots starts (perhaps this is because the levelling and slotting system was designed to balance at max lvl 40 if I remember correctly)
  14. The reward nurfing still concerns me greatly
    'Dev' content > new 'Rateable' mission
    'Dev approved' content > 'Rateable' mission
    So who's gonna waste hours of ingame rewards just to 'rate' new missions?

    I'm not short of Inf mate (Why else would I throw 25M at the boards to try and encourage a disscussion), It was just the man I could get in touch with the quickest was a little strapped for Infamy at the time and we came up a little short Sorry.
    I've no use for infamy as I don't play the dark side, so I'd rather just pass it on to you, I'm busy for the next hour but can meet you anytime after that.
    Else the next 25 villains who run through that Arachnos monstrosity they call a base will be gifted a 1 mill pay packet.

    /edit sorry 24 and a half villains
  17. ISP's in general are likely to soon run into legal problems concerning what they advertise and what they actually provide ( especially to 'high end' users ) as when they say 'up to' it seems to be at there descrection and not what we can pull. If Mars said you can have upto 10 choclate bars for a £5 then stopped you taking more than 5 there would be uproar.
  18. Upto 8 enhancement slots per power so you can actually slot 2 IO's of each type Acc,Dmg,Rchg,End for most powers

    XP: Missions do not give out full xp/inf/drops. Unless they meet a certain condition that will be mentioned later.

    How to waste months of development time the NC way!
    Err why would I waste my valuable playtime for less reward just cos a player wrote the mission text ( which frankly I don't read anyway ). Why not just take a loaded weapon point it at your foot and pull the trigger it would probably have much the same effect.

    Didn't know my space was full of villian AT's that are damn annoying in PvP
  21. Cheers for the summary Doc.
    1000+ maps- Nice
    Av's available - Cool
    Ally pets- Didn't even think of this on ( Fusionette to annoy the masses FTW )
