It's in the Email window now, under Account something (or is it Character something).
There's a Claim All button which I quite like but which irks others as it gives you those terrible Sprint powers

I still think Null the Gull is the best option.
"Change all my knockBACK powers to do knockDOWN instead (note this will not affect powers that have the primary function of knocking back, such as Force Bolt, Power Push, ect"
People that want to play Energy but hate the knockback win, people that play Energy and love the knockback aren't affected.
Really, it's sad that perhaps the most iconic blaster set gets ignored by the majority of the playerbase because of something as silly as knockback. This change would do wonders for opening up the ranged blast sets a bit instead of being Fire... and all those others. -
Gratz on more AVs!
Your avatar seems to have photobucketed away =(
Is wartroller the name of your toon? I keep reading it Wart Roller. :P -

One can hope.
Fire Farms only got a "leg kicked out from under their leg" they are still way strong. -

I know the topic has gravitated a bit but I'll chip in on the "don't need IO's" front a bit. I level most toons to about mid late 30's before I throw any IO's in and continue to slot SO's at multiples of 5 until 42 where I'll go ahead and use 45 and 50's common IO's unless there is something better in a set.
In the 30's I "frankenslot" meaning I'll put IO's from a variety of (cheaper) sets. If I REALLY like a character then I'll start putting sets and working towards fancy stacked bonuses earlier but mostly I wait till late in the characters life before committing much INF. End result, I still have a bit of insight into the SO game and I'd say I rarely feel it affects me to "gimp" levels. The worst times are levels like 26 or 31 when the SO's are going yellow hence my general 30's IO slotting tactic I guess.
If anyone is really overwhelemed by IO sets and such try just replacing your SO's with level 45 or 50 common IO's and work your way up from there! -
Quote:I suppose, more accurately, the person with the existent global name would get the item, but I think we all got the gist!Originally Posted by Stone Daemon
This is your answer, Moth. Your emails are failing and auto-claiming because they are bouncing off of a nonexistent global name. In fact, you're lucky it doesn't exist, or that item would be gone.

Barf seconded. If it's optional, what good is it? RP goodness I guess? Seems like it could at least be informational if it wasn't optional but good lord don't make it forced... augh I've said too much how do I delete.

Quote:Yes! I was a fan of the original IO solution of moving 'em all to KD then allowing the slotting of KB IO's or SO's to allow the return of KB for those that like it. Unfortunately some folks didn't like the idea of losing a slot to get back their KB, even if the KB IO/SO got a "free" 33+ percent Accuracy or damage, etc. The idea of - (minus) KB would be fine with me too in order to reverse the issue of spending a slot to get back what you once had. Maybe even a simple, global IO could work, I'm not sure.Originally Posted by Goman_The_Fox

Heck a way to turn all the KB into Knock Up would be enough really, just something where my good buds in game can stop making me smile wistfully every time they pull a boner KB move. Seven plus years of biting my tongue has left it rather callused! -
They ought to go ahead and put some of the old zones that have also been obsoleted back in there...
Original RWZ
Original Hive
Original Faultline
Original Atlas Park
etc.
I know at least original AP exists in game already for some of the older missions like the Oroborous arc. -
Quote:Oroborous portal?Originally Posted by masterpiece
Only problem with that mission is that its bugged and you have to basically log out of the character to reset it. I won't complain about it since they'll ultimately nerf it but it is indeed annoying.

Quote:Hey, let's not derail into some kind of weird anti-fanboy trollfest. He specifically said "healing attack" they have a lot more "class defining skills" than just those two attacks.Originally Posted by PleaseRecycle
I may be a little late to the party here but mein gott, this is what constitutes class defining skills "over there?" That seems a little sad.
Whoa, Arkham psychiatrist will be happy to have such a handy test on hand for those edge cases... and we can all self diagnose at home now!Quote:Originally Posted by Arcanaville
Regen *vastly* outperforms SR until you start stacking the tons of power pool defenses and invention bonuses that exist on top. If you don't, particularly when leveling, anyone who says SR outperforms Regen is literally insane. -
Quote:She isn't infallible and has herself put up posts where she admits she was wrong.

A valuable poster, so valuable that "they can't afford to employ her!"Originally Posted by Kyriani
Are you just trolling or do you actually believe this nonsense you spout? I've been playing COH off and on since beta and during all these years reading Arcanaville's posts I don't think I've ever seen anything she's ever stated as fact EVER be proven wrong. It's rare Arcanaville gets snippy... and even her version of snippy is kinda tame. If there's one thing I KNOW I can count on with any of Arcanaville's posts, it's that if there is math involved, and/or intimate knowledge of the game mechanics, there is no better source to take as gospel.
Woof, I'd rather it stay as is than get that stupid rage treatment even at 4 seconds. I don't know why they can't just be -100 percent end and get rid of the no end recovery part. I get to "cheat" like that all the time on my ice/em by using Conserve Power and a blue insp.Quote:Originally Posted by Eldagore
More on topic of the thread title
I suggested this elsewhere but I would like to see the Rage treatment experimented with for nukes. Only affecting self, or a few seconds of -1000% damage etc. Avoids toggle drops, avoids the hated recovery debuff and endo drain. Easy to balance for the devs so far as keeping the damage output over time under control. Worried about to much damage output? Make the duration 6 seconds instead of 4.
The bad- that annoying feeling of " I cant contribute damage for the team" is still there, with no counter this time. On the other hand, you can drop inferno, keep all your defenses running and use super speed to get out of dodge before the boss that survived clobbers you. Get back into position, heal yourself, use inspirations, re-target and by then the new "crash" is gone or almost gone. Duration would need extensive testing to get right.

Could take it or leave it for Brawl specifically, but for Sands of Mu and such it is odd.
Will probably fix if I ever get around to playing with other sounds too. -
Hey, as long as that isn't sarcasm or butthurt then I'm impressed with the Take Responsibility and Deal With It attitude. Look at the recent scandal with Rupert Murdoch and his attempts to slough off the blame. Generally, if The Daily Show would take you to task for doing something, you might be in the wrong. (generally!)
Kudos! -
Farm leveling can be really fun and useful tool in some situations but I always end up going back to non-ae ambush farm leveling so I don't feel like a meshugenah.
Answers for afaik.
1. Lower level mobs have relatively less HP and a lowered HP cap. An attack that kills a mob at low levels may do significantly less vs. it's level 50 equivalent.
2. Fire farm mobs do only fire damage. Fire Armor is able to easily cap it's fire resist! That's about all.
3. Folks all seem to gravitate to the more popular farms. Check ratings and number of plays. Also, look in to CEBR on the forums for some impressive stuff. -
Quote:AFAIK there was no bug, don't know what the OP is talking about.Originally Posted by Haetron
What bug? Out of curiosity. And god, it took, what 4 years for Fire to leave "Time Out"?
The set is ridiculous in its current form. The nerfs turned one of what was a surprise dark horse favorite character of mine into a guy I haven't logged on to in years. I would pay cash money to have that character back to at least animating like he used to, let alone playing. -
I'm noticing this issue on Protector tonight, again. I'm also noticing that these official forums are behaving in a very similar way, with normal behavior that seems to suddenly "lag spike" then pop back to normal.
See the previous netgraph pics for what mine looks like right now. -
Even after XP smoothing I feel like the 30's are too slow. It's probably just mental as I'm actually pretty sure the 40's are slower. There are more good, long, rewarding arcs in the 40+ game, though, with great bonus XP at the end and your powers are all getting very well fleshed out... 40+ the character really starts playing like it "should" so seems to go faster perception-ally for me.

Yep, YA "I use trip mine constantly" post.
I also like to use time bomb and time it with a trip mine for fun. Obviously not super time efficient but sometimes I'm playing for fun and tactics vs. pure efficiency.
Plenty of great suggestions out there for these powers so I probably shouldn't waste time on moar suggestions. -
Quote:Also, it's possible to be well off enough to not even give a flying monkey that "YOU ARE THE SUCKER." I know I'm not alone on these forums when I say I regularly overpay, sometimes vastly, for stuff just for the convenience of not having to bid creep or even re-type bids at all.Originally Posted by Ironblade
This.
Pretty much anyone can mess with the market if they feel inclined. And by "the market", I mean "one item or very few". If someone is messing with an item that you want, COME BACK LATER. There's a sucker born every minute. If someone is manipulating an item and you shell out millions for a piece of junk salvage because you need it NAO, then YOU ARE THE SUCKER.
I KNOW I'm being stupid. To make myself feel better, if I even have to do so, I consider that there is a person on the other end of that deal who is ZOMG HAPPY to get that "windfall" of 2,000,000 for their whatever salvage and I'm happy for them! I feel like I lose more to x10 order of magnitude typos than anything else so maybe that is another reason this works out for me in that I don't accidentally pay 20,000,000 or something if I'm not re-typing bids constantly.
Maybe this just seems like gross excess to folks but my version of "marketeering" is "Play and sell everything that drops for 1 inf." And yes, sometimes I lose out. Yesterday I got a purple that sells, crafted, for 150,000,000 in the last 5 but I crafted it and listed it for 1 and only got like 50,000,000. Oh Noes!
I want to help on the Alchemical Silver pro bono arbitrage but I've noticed the outstanding bids have only dropped from about 13,500 bids to 13,300 over the course of the day. Maybe we can all stack up a bunch and dump them together somehow? What are the chances our fellow ebil marketeers are taking advantage of this community redevelopment effort?

Quote:Right, but does this mean that the non-vip, non-license toon can't generate them by being killed by a VIP or Licensed toon?Originally Posted by Garielle
We already know that if you are a non-VIP who has neither unlocked Inventions nor purchased a License for them, that recipes will not drop."
IE: Freebie player is the fodder for the paying player?
Seems like, if non-paying/VIP can't even generate drops (let alone receive) then drops may go down on average unless the number of paying/VIP players goes up. Will Freedom pull in enough paying/VIP to offset the current folks that may go non-pay/VIP in that case?
