the valentine tips are still sending characters to places they can not go, instead of to the train like we were told it would. -

Thank you Dink <3
One question though: Is the female Baron jacket with the Dragon design supposed to have mirrored left and right sides instead of having the full dragon image, like the male one? -

The basic point is that, due to it's almost (if not truly) unique nature, it can be viewed as collectible, and of a value that far exceeds it's that of basic utilitarian worth.

FYI: Necro pets don't ever need EndRedux. They never run short of endurance except maybe from a Sapper. Even battling Freakshow, their end is barely dented.

It's in the works!

What you are seeing is a new feature peeking its head out. We have in the works what we call an 'Additional Power Bar' (or Alternate Power Bar) here in the office. It allows us to give you powers directly to a bar under our control (that additional one that appears on top) for use in missions or anything else. It removes the need to fish through your Temporary Powers list for the power you were just given that you need to complete a mission.Quote:Originally Posted by Katie V
I cannot confirm this. If I collapse my power trays down from the normal three to one, I can activate the powers in all three trays. There is, however, a display bug: holding down "CTRL" shows a blank, un-numbered power tray rather than tray 3, and dragging powers to that tray gives the error message "CantControlServerTray".
The APB can also be used to have you "play" as another being, or piloting something that you wouldn't have access to your normal powers while controlling it. In this version, your normal powers would gray out and only the APB powers would be activatable. It's very cool, very powerful tech that's going to allow us to do a lot of things we have avoided recently because we want to stop the bloat of Temporary Powers that characters seemingly accumulate in mass quantities.
That said it's not a 22 feature, and the bug reported here is a legitimate one that does affect how some people play the game, so thanks for the catch. You'll be seeing more about the APB as we start talking about issue 23 and the Summer Blockbuster event. -
Quote:Ohhh. So *that's* who that guy was. The amateur didn't notice the tiger pit.Originally Posted by TonyV
Seriously? Because one night I petitioned someone spouting racial slurs in broadcast. Brian Clayton called me about 15 minutes later on my cell phone and told me they tracked it down. It was some guy in Maryland, and that they actually contracted someone to go to the guy's house and shoot him in the head. "Don't worry Tony, he won't be doing THAT anymore," he said, and then--I swear, this was a little bit creepy--he kind of silently giggled.

Quote:For Set Bonuses, they count as two different sets.Originally Posted by Warfarin88
Are the ATO enhancements 'unique' properties also mutually exclusive once purpled?
That is to say, for example: can you have one regular acc/damage and one purpled acc/damage ATO slotted on the same toon?
For Slotting, they count as the same set, and since they're all Uniques, an ATO and it's SATO version are mutually exclusive.

And I disagree with Zombie Man, when I was clicking back, I saw a few attractive faces.

There's something wrong with Faces. I can't find the fields in which to order some of the more attractive ones.

Quote:Deeper diving into the mechanics has revealed it's not the uniqueness of the name, but the actual Boost-Power that is called.Originally Posted by Arcanaville
The Rule of Five is enforced based on what the set bonus is called in its game definition.
So there's no confusion, the Rule of Five is not enforced on *type* of bonus, but on the specific bonus itself. You can have five +7.5% recharge and five +10% recharge if you can somehow fit that into a build, because you are allowed five of each bonus by name.
So, you can have two different Boost-Powers with the same exact effect, and regardless of how they're named in 'combat attributes' you can have up to 5 of each.
Or you can have one particular Boost-Power that shows in in 'real numbers' with 8 different names, but, will cap at being called the fifth time.
But, for all intents and purposes, so far, all Boost-Powers have unique names that are consistently used in 'real numbers', so, one can confidently count the number of times one sees that unique name to determine when the cap of 5 has been hit. -
Quote:And Titan-Os!Originally Posted by JuliusSeizure
And Training Origin. And Hamidon Origin. And Invention Origin. The use of "Origin" with regards to enhancements is about as proper of a technical game term as possible.

Seems a bit confusing.

Here is a rough spreadsheet showing the similarities and the differences between types of Enhancements. Corrections very welcome!

Quote:If you know what your level 50 build is going to look like (thanks, Mids!) which includes using Attuned Enhancements, then there is no reason not to slot them as you level up.Originally Posted by Ardrea
Thanks for that distinction; at least they keep the set bonuses down to their minimum level less three -- which is the part I find critical.
Do many people actually buy them at minimum level, and level up with them? I've never bothered with them until the character was level 50 and I was confident I was going to keep it. On the way up, I tend to Frankenslot whatever I find or get cheaply. For me, attuned enhancements are much more valuable due to their exemping down better than a max level normal set IO, and not because they level up with me.
I do that on Beta where they're free.

Quote:Because when you get the terminology wrong, you misunderstand the mechanics. E.g., when IO Sets first came out, people were calling all the Special IOs "Uniques". Well, some of them were Unique, but many were not and that caused all sorts of confusion. It was a few months before people realized that you can put 5 LotG:+Recharge in one build.Originally Posted by DreadShinobi
Yeah.
The whole grammar police thing that's been going on (from multiple users, not just ZM)since the most recent release is already getting super old, super fast.
Really, if you understand the message they're trying to get across, why do you care how they misspell or misuse the terminology?
Then they started calling them "Globals". But some of them weren't global, they were what we now call 'Procs' that only affect the power they're in.
When people call ATOs "ATIOs", they think they operate like IOs, which they don't. They are attuned, they can't be boosted, they're not from recipes, Freemiums can use them, etc...
That's why the right terminology is important.
As for the right spelling and grammatical forms of Catalyst: Well aside from typos, using the wrong form just makes one look dumb.

Quote:Originally Posted by Mistress Rue
Admittedly it's a bit of a pain, but you can easily mail the ATO's from your other characters (on the same account) to said Blaster, Catalze them, then mail them back. In theory you can just get catalyst for all your characters on that one blasterI have a feeling I'll be posting this regularly for the next few months.Quote:Originally Posted by Roderick
Calatyzing requires that the enhancement be slotted, so if the enhancement in question isn't a Blaster ATO, no they can't. And if it IS a Blaster ATO, they still can't, because they've already got a full set slotted, and the pieces are all Unique.
.....Catalysis, noun - the process of speeding up or causing a reaction, accent on second syllable
Say no to: Catalytizing, catalystizing, catalyzation, and catalytization. They are not the right forms.
Catalyst, noun - the thing causing the reaction, accent on first syllable
Catalyze (catalyzing, catalyzed), verb - to cause catalysis to happen, accent on first syllable
Catalytic, adj. - pertaining to catalysis, accent on first syllable.

Quote:My mistake. Just tested this and you're right. Superior ATOs are Account Bound and not Character Bound.Originally Posted by CaptainMoodswing
That does not appear to be the case. I unslotted a purpled ATIO from my Widow, mailed it to myself, and claimed it on my Spider. It only says I can't slot it because I'm not 50.
However, Catalysts are Character Bound, so, be careful which character claims it from the email interface. -
Quote:All Attuned Enhancements attune to your level as you level up. They do *not* attune to your level when you exemplar down. The normal Exemplar Enhancement Aspect Scaling applies to Attuned Enhancements.Originally Posted by Ardrea
Normal ATO's are available from level 10 to 50 and are attuned, so not only do the magnitudes of the enhancements from the pieces scale with level, but also the set bonuses are available all the way down to level 7 from exemping.

Quote:They (the purpled Catalysted ATOs) are more restrictive than Account Bound, they're Character Bound. Can't even pass them to alts. Same with the Catalysts... once you claim them from the email interface, they are Character Bound. And with I22, Catalysts will be drops... which will be Character Bound.Originally Posted by graystar_blaster
they have a new Booster called a Catalyst. But if you boost it it is now account bound.
EDIT: Ooops. Superior ATOs are Account Bound, not Character Bound. Catalysts are Character Bound, however.
EDIT II: People are reporting Catalyst drops from iTrials, so... seems that doesn't have to wait til I22.
