    Well, I'm out of guesses

    When will you have more guesses
  2. What would be the best way for the devs to fix this? A temporary fix would be a big red warning text on the recipe and IO about attacks...

    Should they perhaps make a pair of sets for endurance recovery powers and endurance draining attacks? I know they basically did the opposite of that a while back by making unified "end mod" enhancements but these are sets and one would hope they learned their lesson and could make these work properly.

    "end recovery" set would be usable in a very low number of power though... Stamina, Quick Recovery, Kheldian transforms... anything else?

    I did not but others who did similar had problems. I received bids for 575M and 600M.

    *EDIT* Make that 750M

  4. I wonder if there are people as equally inept at the market as the OP is at being adept at the market? This isn't kindergarten, we can't all get gold stars for trying.

    Is there someone out there that's been rooked out of like 20 billion inf?

    Because it is there.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Whoa that is interesting. Is this still a valid or acceptable response when the object of "being there" is being "climbed" for fun rather than for personal challenge and betterment?

    "Because it is there" is usually used in reference to dauntless and difficult quests, not just for any old goofy game. Not that I'm the arbiter of when and where the phrase may be used!

    Sorry if I over analyzed it, just struck me as interesting.

    Henry Ford

    Heh, you figured you'd be so different that what you would go for wasn't even the same thing... in hopes of continuing the tradition!

    I guess you could argue he was president of his own company?

    OOH, the next person should say "Lincoln" in the title but then say they are referring backwards to the car for Ford, back into presidents!!

    Who is the forum Napoleon of the Stump I wonder?

    To twist one of BaB's quote, did you just use PVP IO and causal in the same post?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nobody who PVPs is casual?
    Then again, he is the animation guy. Why he would know jack about PVP, casual gamer playstyles or TF bugs I'll never know.

    As a currently about as non-casual-as-it-gets player who never, evar, PVPs (okay I do but never for fun! ) I can still look at the proposed drop rate and the player listed intricacies and scratch my head a bit.
  8. Also, if you are worried about the future and has to have hard copy and shiny then go ahead and burn a DVD of the full and complete install directory. CoX will auto "install"(IE: throw in necessary registry hooks) and run in seconds if you have an up to date backup like this.
  9. Yeah, no. The "800lbs gorilla" forums has tons of dev and community rep and little b.s. pseudo reps posting in it all the frickin' time. They actually build up reputations for being smacktards (or not) in responding and such.

    The existence of conserve power in ELA is completely superfluous. There is absolutely no reason why it needed to be in that set, and it was a terrible design choice from the get go.

    Few people would cry if it got turned into a dull pain clone. I think the cottage rule in this case can eat me. ELA gets unlimited endurance once powersink is taken.

    Does it have an adverse impact?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nope.

    Well, some teams might leave you behind if they're not willing to wait for you to sprint to the mission.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Then Hurdle to the mission. It's almost as fast as Fly. Pick up a few +Movement/+Jump set bonuses and cruise. Or play a character with access to +Run Speed, like Banes or /SR scrappers.

    Still haven't been kicked from or denied a team due to my lack of travel powers, on any character. Or had my choices questioned. So if you find those mythical "some teams" who do refuse to play with people who don't take travel powers, let me know, because in over three years, I've never encountered them.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well to be fair, their "mythical some teams" is just as mythical as your mythical "never beend kicked or denied" statement. We ARE all going on each others word here.

    To say there are "none" adverse affects from taking no travel powers is to use a specific definition of "adverse" to you yourself. I like to use superspeed as a both a travel and stealth power and this, for me, would be an adverse condition if I had to switch to the much slower power pool stealth power or adversely to power pick consumption spend an additional pick for Invisibility.

    But, you wisely put "do what you find fun" at the end of your post so we pretty much agree.

    When a player is in phase, they can still lay down traps like caltrops, acid mortar, etc. that effect others?

    I thought if a player is phased that they are out of sync with reality, so how is it possible then for these items to effect another player before the person laying the traps unphases?

    By effect I mean cause damage, hold or slow. I've always wondered this, just never bothered to ask before now.

    Anyone have an explaination?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Concept wise, you could argue that once the object (calitrops, mortar, etc) leaves the players 'phase field' (for lack of a better word), ie thrown or layed down, they phase back into normal reality, but before the players uses them, they are phased with him.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I second this explanation, as I was going to offer it myself before I noticed your post. It's like things being dropped by an invisible character becoming visible again in common fiction all the time.

  15. Ahhh... memories of going to my Blaster to buy End Mod (specifically the INCREASE) for my other lowbies from her contacts. Good times? No... no not really actually.

    Should be more hardcore and not get any badges. Those were added after launch too and should probably penalize himself for any XP he gets from badges by accident. Oh and don't forget to work off all that patrol XP at some point. Should be uber hardcore and stop at level 40 as well, no PI or level 50 back in the day if you remember! No going to the Hollows or Croatoa and the aforementioned revamped Faultline or Cimerora either.

    Delete folks off your global friends list too. You should stick to "old school" slotting as well, IE: 1 acc and 5 damage in your attacks, GO! This is excusable for any attacked tweaked to knockdown where you can slot a knockback enh to make it more annoying. Shoot, we also got an XP tweak and the curve was flattened out a bit so you're going to have to look up old XP tables and do some math to penalize yourself properly especially if you don't go hardcore enough to stop at 40.

    Goes without saying that the tweaked Greenlines and such are off limits. I don't know how many hero side cape and respec missions you have to do to equal their old difficulty... ahh one shotting tanks with rikti swords in the cape mission, how I don't miss you. Oops that's another, one shot code, you have to kill yourself anytime it saves you. No PVP, not even arena! Be careful how you make your toon, lots of changes to the costume editor too, and none of those fancy propagated power sets or anything new! Hell, no CoV at all duh!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    and the award for most obnoxious poster goes to....

    What is your problem? The OP states that he is having fun playing without the crutches and you go overboard? You missed the point of the thread entirely. Ever heard of "if you can't say anything nice..." I realize I am breaking that rule to call you on this, but don't be such a clod.

    to the OP: I agree, I prided myself on being able to run the gulch in the Hollows at lvl 8. Playing without the teleporters, and all the temp powers is a fun challenge.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Sorry but Hollows didn't exist at launch, PRIDE DENIED!

    Here's a " " and a " " for you too, don't BWAAH on me.

    I'm hoping the devs make the double xp only available outside of AE.

    I'm in full agreement. I think that would be a smart move.

    Yes, do this so that, when they brag about double XP we can say, "Oh nice, still slower than AE, but nice..."

    My Controller couldn't control much pre 30's either.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Hmmmm

    What game are you playing?

    Cant control before 32? Ice, Fire, Stone, Plant, and Illusion all get pets at 32. Explain to me how Fire Imps, Fly Trap, Phantasm changed you to being able to control all of the sudden when your CONTROL powers didnt

    Fire Cage, Char, Fire Cages, Flashfire, Cinders all happen at level 18 and you cant control until after 30+?

    I'm telling ya man, we weren't all meant to smoke pot. Sometimes it really can just make ya say dumb [censored] (see my quote)

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I had the same strong reaction as you, although I thought it through a bit more, ie: maybe the amount of slots?

    Only thing I can think is taking too many 2ndary powers but even then, that isn't a controller issue, it's a player issue...

    I always thought it meant when they miss a to-hit check versus accuracy check..

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Accuracy and tohit are mutually exclusive parts of a single formula to determine end the end chance to hit.

    I believe it depends on the effects on you at the time. I know that when I pop MoG I get "Absorbed" repeatedly. I'm pretty sure it's a flavor effect that depends on the assumed method of added defense from the power that is on. I'd assume it randomly picks a power on you to draw the effect from if you've got multiple on.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I think his point was more to describe the fact that you should get the messages when the mob fails to hit you thanks to a power you have running rather than just plain bad "dice roll."

    So blah blah even con blah blah 50 percent chance to hit you run power blah so they have only 25% to hit you and now you get the message when they roll between 25-50 and the usual MISS or whatever when it's 50-100. Hope I described that right. IIRC it was flavor added so people would actually notice when buffs were doing things for them.

    Mine is 99.8%. 2 generic lvl 50 End Mod + lvl 50 Performance Shifter End Mod + the Proc.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nope your not with 2 generic lvl 50 End Mods. Endurance Modification At lvl 50 only give +42.4%. So 2 of the would only be 84.4% and that is not counting ED which will make it 83.32% The Performance Shifter End Mod + the Proc does nothing for your End but give you a 20% chance for 10 end every 10 sec.
