Happens with any enemy group throughout any level of the game. It's definitely not stealth or placate. I thought about posting in the help forums but this just doesn't smell like a technical problem on my end to me... Just curious if any others are experiencing anything similar.

Scenario:
I wade into a group of enemies and often target by tapping my next attack to bring the reticle up on my next target. A few times each mission the reticle simply disappears and I lose the target. Quite sure I'm not hitting escape or 'z'. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's just often enough to be pretty annoying and occasionally causes some problems when I'm in a tight spot and trying to take down sappers or mezzers on a squishy.
Anyone else encounter this behavior? -

I remember a while back snow storm was even worse. It would spawn the central effect on every enemy effected. -
Quote:I personally don't take it because two of the powers from it are useless if you don't have endurance problems. I guess if you were into sapping power sink might be worth it. Besides that it doesn't offer anything special.Originally Posted by Ethical
First question, why do people not take Mu mastry on a corr? I never have but i was looking at it and power sink could be very nice. Was just wondering what peoples thoughts were on it?
Do you already have kb protection and are looking to add to it, or do you have none at all? If you have none then yeah, 4 points will make a difference. Try finding a slot you can move around so that you don't have to give up the LoTG. If you have to give it up then I'll be glad to take it.Quote:Originally Posted by Ethical
Also, I am leveling a fire/dark and was wondering if 4 points of knockback protection will make a big difference? I do not want to sacrafice any of my +recharge so only want to get rid of one LoTG IOs. Thoughts? Opinions? -
Great idea. When I'm forming teams it's unusual to see more than a half dozen people setting their flags for anything and this is on Virtue. Does the tutorial mention this at all? Might be worthwhile to lobby for a mission loading tip and a MOTD popup too.

yeah. that's kind of by design.
These are POOL POWERS
Let me spell this out: THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY WEAKER THAN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWERS IN NATIVE POWER SETS.
There is nothing wrong with the values on the pool powers, they do not need to be reviewed, and they do not need to be changed.
What I want out of pool powers is to feel like whatever choice I make is sacrificing something else. At this point in the game and for as long as I can remember the pools that I take on non concept characters are pretty straightforward: fitness, speed, and one of the travel pools. None of the others do much for me except in very specific circumstances: An MM with the presence taunt, /SR scrapper with Aid Self, the occasional melee character with fighting. When I'm building a character there is rarely any deliberation about which pools to take.
Presence and concealment are the red headed stepchildren of the pool powers. Presence could be adjusted to make it more enticing while still keeping it INTENTIONALLY WEAKER THAN PRIMARY AND SECONDARY POWERS IN NATIVE POWER SETS. Concealment could be fixed by making the fourth power summon a pony or something. -

Girlfriend: The Closed Beta Version of "Wife"
*looks up*
Ah well. It's that NDA I signed. Break it and I'll never get another REDACTED.
Anyway, I've reconsidered my demands. If you slackers can't get GR out right on the 10th I'll take any time that week. I just need at least one whole uninterrupted day with it! So I can love it and squeeze it and hold it... My own little GR expansion. I will name you George. -
See? Nine out of ten catgirls want GR on August 10th. Do it for the catgirls. It's not just for me. I'm selfless as well as delicious, intelligent, and beautiful.

Hey Team,
My lovely girlfriend is going out of town in August for a week. I'll have the place to myself and much debauchery will no doubt ensue. Unfortunately she has chosen the second week of August for her excursion and I noticed that you announced a release date for GR of August 17th... which is the third week. See, she'll be back a few days before then. So you understand my concern.
You're just going to have to release GR a week early.
I know you guys are working hard to get everything ready for release. Putting in those long hours eating pizza and laughing at the drooling masses and streamlining all the new systems and shinies for us. I appreciate it, I really do. I know our beta testers are busy whining, goofing off and burning through content carefully combing through features and looking for bugs while giving constructive feedback. High five, keep up the good work!
You'll just have to work a bit faster. It's only seven days before the announced release. So when you're done with your daily five minute break or whatever and you finally get back to whatever little piece of GR you're working on... think of me, Chocolate Bacon. Think of the opportunity I'll have missed if you choose not to grant this small request. Think of the little teacup piglets who will suffer.
See you in Praetoria on August 10th!
Love,
Bacon -

did we really need yet another thread about this?
On some characters I've been deleting those drops left and right trying to keep my inventory clear. On others I like having as many temps as I can get my hands on. Ideally I'd like to see a separate inventory for temporary power recipes or just have them drop as fully formed powers without the need to craft anything. -

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOD08!!
And happy birthday, Ocho. I hope they gave you the day off. If not, I'd be banning people left and right. -
I'd like to see some kind of psy blast for corruptors.
What do you think is more likely, blaster or defender version? I'd rather have blaster but I doubt it'll happen. -
Like Streetcleaner the only SR power I'd skip is Elude. If you are planning to soft cap there are numerous ways to do it... with and without Weave, though the Steadfast in Tough is very, very helpful. I have aid self on mine but only find myself using it if I want to stand toe to toe with an AV/GM, nothing else.
BS/SR is a lot of fun. Parry will serve you well while levelling up, just remember that you won't need it once soft capped. -
I waited to make a Demon Summoning character for about three weeks after the set was available. Ready to run through a list of names with little hope, I was surprised to find that "Doctor Abyss" was free. On Virtue no less!

Quote:I don't think he's talking about power customization, but about how the stone armor powers graphics were changed at some point before that.Originally Posted by je_saist
because Granite is exposed to the player as an OVERLAY COSTUME. It basically uses the same sort of costume-overlay tech that backs the Kheldian Dwarf forms.
Exposing Costume Overlay Modification to the end user through the interface required more BACKGROUND ENGINE WORK in addition to USER INTERFACE MODIFICATIONS.
The complexity of exposing Costume Overlays to the end user are one of the reasons the developers went ahead and did the power customizations THAT THEY HAD COMPLETED AND WERE READY FOR USE.
If the developers had tried to cover every single player exposed power with the customization system, we would STILL be waiting for the tech to arrive.
Rage ruins SS for me. The set loses a lot by not taking it, and I hate that crash enough not to make another one. -

Quote:The OP mentioned that they wanted a character that hovered. Since they are making some kind of ghost wolf I didn't think they'd have much use for dark nova. WS don't have any way to hover besides, well, hover.Originally Posted by Rush_Bolt
Wut?Quote:Originally Posted by Chocolate_Bacon
go with WS and take hover
On a separate note I don't think my suggestion really deserved -134 points of negative rep, but hey I look good in red! -
Have you considered a PB/WS? Human form with the right costume and a stealth IO in Combat Flight could work with a PB and would free up a pool. If the powers are too bright and happy go with WS and take hover, they get a recall friend clone that also frees up a pool for you... The WS also has some powers that could fit conceptually with a sort of life sucking ghostly type.

The dev answer has been "No." Not "We can't do it," or "It would be too difficult," but a blunt, flat out "no."

I was nosing around power descriptions in game on my Demon Summoner when I noticed that the end reduction I had slotted in the first pet upgrade was reducing the end cost of powers that it grants to henchmen as well as reducing the power's own end cost.
It's generally accepted that slotting end reduction in your pet summons reduces both the costs of the power itself and the powers the pets use. So are powers granted through upgrades getting end reductions through the summon and the upgrade powers both or is what I'm seeing just a display issue? -
Quote:Why didn't you mention scrappers? I'm not looking for the obvious answer, "I forgot about them," or for flames about how I'm nitpicking - I want to know if there's some reason you hate scrappers so much and don't think they should get any powers proliferated to them ever.Originally Posted by Far_Realm
Why don't Brutes get Ice Armor?

Why don't Tankers get Energy Aura?
I'm not looking for the obvious answer, "The Devs haven't gotten around to it yet," or for bullies who answer me with thinly-disguised put-downs - I want to know if there's supposed to be any good reason for these particular absences. -
Perfect opportunity to join the team and turn off xp.
