Quote:While the strict meaning of 'kill one out of ten' is pretty much obsolete, it still doesn't mean 'decimate' was used correctly.Originally Posted by Emberly
Ah, yet another nerd who doesn't know language evolves.
The intent of the blurb "decimate your foes with Titan Weapons" is better explicated with 'devastate' or 'destroy' or 'eradicate' or some other verb of total annihilation. 'Decimate' implies reduced or harmed greatly, not 'kill all.' Note that none of the quoted definitions implies 'completely destroyed.' -
Quote:Note I didn't say they couldn't be useful. I noted that some players eschew a second (or more) Tanker because, if the first is locking down agro, then any other AT is providing more to the team then a second Tanker. The high DPS ATs bring more Damage. The squishies bring multipliers. While a second Tanker isn't useless, the second Tanker becomes the least useful AT because their inherent doesn't stack in a team-useful way except in edge cases.Originally Posted by New Dawn
Whilst second tankers shouldn't be needed it doesn't mean they can't be useful. Usefulness is down to how people play. Lack of usefulness is why some tankers would prefer a scrapper in that second tankers place. A second tanker could be useful but often isn't by their own in mission decisions.

Quote:American Heritage usage note:Originally Posted by Zwillinger
One out three experts still object to the broader meaning of "a large portion." And I'm sure the majority would object to its usage to mean "all were killed" as it was used here on the boards, unless you meant that using Titan Weapons would leave some of your foes unscathed?Quote:Decimate originally referred to the killing of every tenth person, a punishment used in the Roman army for mutinous legions. Today this meaning is commonly extended to include the killing of any large proportion of a group. Sixty-six percent of the Usage Panel accepts this extension in the sentence The Jewish population of Germany was decimated by the war, even though it is common knowledge that the number of Jews killed was much greater than a tenth of the original population. However, when the meaning is further extended to include large-scale destruction other than killing, as in The supply of fresh produce was decimated by the nuclear accident at Chernobyl, only 26 percent of the Panel accepts the usage. -

Actually they also mentioned in the coffee talk that they will be tagging trial avs and any other 'omgnasty' boss so that controllers will do Containment damage without having to be held.

I'm just trying to visualize this cannonball flying and bouncing all over this neighbourhood since it apparently flew through houses and walls while not making enough sound to wake a sleeping family then across a highway and into a vehicle. Sure, why not. Especially the part where the family doesn't hear it and wake up? It broke down your door, rolled UP your stairs and shot out of another wall and you didn't hear that?

You should definitely make someone working for $11 hour spend the time to deal with your eighty cents worth of virtual money.

I'd like to highlight the suggestions that make multiple Tankers on a team a benefit that doesn't leave players saying "we don't need a second (or more) Tanker." Since a second Tanker doesn't need to spam Taunt, it loses out using its inherent, thus, the suggestion that there be 'something' that makes up for it, like a team Def buff (a la Shields) or increased damage for the Tankers (a la Kheldian buffs for having certain ATs on their team).

This thread was just a heads up to grab something while it's free.
Clearly a topic worthy of rage, doom, and personal attacks.

Check out this link.
As you can see, there were no *arcs* in the 1-10 range.
There were only 3 arcs in the 10-15 range. And 3 in the 15-20 range.
And for each arc or bunch of one-off missions from various "Origin Contacts" there were 1-6 possible contacts who could give you those missions. The idea was that you didn't want a contact to be swarmed by 20 players, and so several contacts offered the same missions to spread out the players.
Ouroboros has all the *arcs*, not the one-off missions unless they had a badge associated with it.
By doing a Safeguard Mission at level 5-9, you can pick up the old legacy Origin Contacts on a new toon. -
The pet only has one movement speed: trot. When you Walk, he catches up to you at a trot then stops. Then when you get far enough away, repeat.

Hover gives you more global Defense and costs less End than Fly and can become a mule for LotG+Recharge. If you get Steam Pack Jump and GvE Jump Pack, you can make Hover hit the Fly cap nearly all the time on command.

We saw from the leaked video that the animations for Staff were completed two months ago.
Also, Issue 3 was released on Jan 4 and 20.5 was released on Feb 1.
So, my prediction would be that Issue 22 be released right before or after the Spring Event: Either Feb 2 or 21. -
For KB, KD, and KU, the 'strength' is defined as Magnitude, so, enhancements affect the Magnitude (as well as the level-scaling Purple Patch). This can change KD into KB and vice versa.
And for most, if not all, Intangibility powers, the 'strength' is also defined as Magnitude. -
Its a long-time bug for radio/paper missions that are held when a new issue comes out. The generic spawn for that mission gets replaced by some other generic spawn.
Count yourself lucky that the new spawn is the same level as the old. Some people have walked into missions with foes 20 levels higher (because the new faction's minimum spawnage level is much higher than the actual mission). -
I find it hard to believe that no locks of hair were involved!

Quote:Then you're not a minmaxer.Originally Posted by Laevateinn
As a minmaxer, I went reactive on everyone.
Because there is a limit on how much Reactive can stack, then when you're on a team or league, you'll want to be able swap out Reactive for either Cognitive, Degenerative, Spectral, or Preemptive. -

Last I heard was "New power set every new issue"
And before them:Quote:Originally Posted by Frost Warden
Wow. Looking at the list, I just realized that the breakdown goes:
1 Support powerset (Time)
1 Ranged powerset (Beam)
1 Control powerset (Darkness)
3 Melee powersets (Street, Titan, Staff)
A little lopsided, hopefully it will balance out over time.
1 Summoning powerset (Demon)
1 Ranged (Dual Pistols)
1 Control (Electric)
1 Melee (Kinetic)
And don't forget they had to add two powers to Dark Miasma to make it work with Darkness Control and will be cobbling together a Dark Assault Set for Dominators, so, let's call that one more non-Melee set.
That makes 4 out of 11 sets melee. -
