I can't help thinking that any sewer map is gonna be real interesting...

Nice idea, but lets talk Arachnos Flyer before we worry about Caleb...

Quote:Its happening outside the Manticore TF too, particularly with some redside arcs. Hopefully fixing the root cause for the one correct them all.Originally Posted by VoodooCompany
And that's the EXACT SAME WORDING used the last time they "fixed" it. Which they did...just for the first mission.
The issue is level 40 Paragon Protector Elites showing up in Crey missions targetted for 35+. It's not restricted to the Manticore TF. And specifically not restricted to the first mission of the Manticore TF. Change the spawn table for them to NOT be spawned at anything targetted at level 39 or lower and that should completely fix it. -
The girl still has it.
Limitations considered, that thing had flair, and was well directed.
Be fun to see it again when beta lets you get the real models. -

Well part of it's going to be that although bosses can drop C/D recipes most of the ones generated that way will be level 50s. However I suspect that it's also being caused by people who roll merits opting to roll in the 46-50 range. People who frequent the market forum will mostly be aware that the 35-39 range is a better bet due to several popular recipes that cap out at 35 or 40 (Kinetic Combat, Touch of Death and Miracle being the primary examples). However if you don't really follow the market you might not realize this and therefore choose to roll 46-50 believing that's where the good stuff is.OK, you both did a good job capturing what was unformed in my head. I "knew" level 50 recipes seemed to be in stable supply, but couldn't put my finger on why. Probably because I always roll in the 30-34 or 35-39 range.Quote:Originally Posted by Nethergoat
most of the supply is at 50 because that's where the farmers are, and supply at lower levels has been diminished by all of the increases in levelling speed we've gotten over the last while.
Plus the way tickets & merits work creates "clusters" at certain levels.
The amount of action and the generally higher prices at level 50 provide an incentive to generate recipes at the upper end of the level range.
thanks. -
Quote:The other big thing I have noticed is that supply of recipes that cap out at 40 have nearly dried up (Touch of Death I'm looking at you). These seem to be coming into the market slower - a combination of things I imagine, but not sure I can put my finger on it.Originally Posted by Werner
As for the original question, merits and AE caused some upheaval, but it all seems to have worked itself out by now, and things seem calm again, and for the most part back to how they were a year ago. The main exception that I've noticed is that good purples (which don't drop in AE) have significantly increased in price. Also, top level rare tech salvage is now about the same price as top level rare magic salvage. I'm sure there's more, but those are the main things I've noticed.

Quote:You could structure it team free, similarly to the fire event in Steel Canyon.Originally Posted by Sigium
I would rather it NOT have teams required, as I mentioned. Sure, a team would have an easier time, but there would still be a Boss in occupied infrastructures, and possibly an AV in the biggest district.
In fact, this suggestion reminded me of the Steel Canyon fire, only more, as soon as I read it. Could work. -

A long time ago the "tell chime" stopped sounding for tells received, and only sounds when you send one.

I would pay $10 again for the ability to detach the animations from the NR power.
Can I get an Amen?
And another $10 more to be able to remove the standing ninja stance.
Hallelujah brothers and sisters (and other)! -
Was just wondering...
A comment I read somewhere from Herocon said that we will get power customization for the pool powers.
Is it possible that [Ninja Run] is the first effort to try new animations with movement powers? Is it reasonable to wonder if this means that - like taunt and some punches have alternate animation choices - travel powers may get options with customization? -
Like Princess Bride for quote sources, "game over, man!" from Aliens gets quoted a lot in my circle of friends, I'll toss in another vote that Second Hand Lions is very good and those quotes were excellent.

Quote:And if you've been slotting for +run, you can get more.Originally Posted by Clouded
I read someone with quickness, swift, sprint and ninja run had about 56 mph run speed. Not bad considering their SS had them at 86 mph.
My travel-less /SR with [Quickness] is at 69 mph. My widow is at 67. -
Quote:I can't direct you to any links, but I know I've seen it in other anime (did notice the Dragonball Z callout later in the thread).Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
That's both an ugly bias and patently untrue. "Good" anime is in the eye of the beholder, and I've not actually seen a SINGLE anime where people run like that, outside of Naruto, obviously. If "ninja" anime is all you've ever seen, then maybe, but something tells me you haven't exactly seen a lot of anime.
And, further, I have actually seen this run style in live action movies also. Not quite so 'over the top' as CoH's, which is clearly more anime inspired, but real-world examples, nonetheless. -
Quote:It is awesome isn't it?Originally Posted by Ardrea
It's certainly a great power; one of my run-slotted non-super-speeding characters runs at 66.99 mph with it on. I just wish it didn't look the way it did -- like my character is rushing over to elbow-jab someone.
Was playing with my 50 claws/SR scrapper that has been running around within sprint this whole time. [Ninja Run] boosted him up to 69.something mph. It was fun.
Roof top jumping is tons of fun - not too proud to admit that I wasted time in KR for a bit.

Quote:But RMT cash goes.... elsewhere and booster packs got me power customization and GR. You do the math.Originally Posted by Vitality
Well this game is now taking a turn for the worst with these booster packs.
Being able to make your character better buy paying extra money is it's downfall.
I mean with the RMTs out there being hated on...this is very hypocritical of the devs.
Pretty soon every decked out character is only going to be those who spend more money.
The rich get richer and poor get poorer. -
Quote:Cool, can't wait to get home and try it on my /SR and Widow that skipped travel powers.Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
And several costume parts, and it looks like Ninja Run is a lot more than just a prestige Sprint. It's probably slower than Super Jump, but it looks like it may be faster than Fly.

Quote:Sorry, I may have been oversimplifying my comments regarding the randomness factor.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
When I talked about "recipes as clues," I meant to use the already existing mechanic of finding a recipe and then looking for its salvage, only its salvage would drop from specific missions you go to to find clues, rather than off random drops. You get a recipe, and with it you get a few extra missions you can go to to look for clues to it. I didn't envisions needing to randomly run across clues for the lead, or to have to put them together yourself, as that's very much out of the scope of what the game seems to have (not that I'd be opposed to it) and instead imagined just having a recipe drop on you, and having three extra missions open up as soon as it happens. Each mission would give you a "salvage-clue" at the end that you can then use to put the "recipe-lead" together and get one more mission where you finish the thing.
The initial lead/recipe would have some random element tho, once you accept(?) the lead with a mission computer though I would see it handing out the next components/salvage in some structured form.
hmmm, running with a thought here without thinking it through.
What if the lead really were a recipe? But the salvage to craft it were something like they give out for the Lost Curing Wand - you only get the items for completing specific tasks and not tradable... So your recipe (clue) would trigger a specific set of missions in a PD terminal, mission computer, or whatever.
Complete the missions, get the salvage, craft the enhancement. Now you could slot or sell it.
Does this take the idea too far? (I have never played another MMO besides CoX. Is this too 'loot' like in other games?) -
Quote:Oh, I agree completely.Originally Posted by Zamuel
That's part of the point of the idea. Mission Computer is currently useless blueside and has just a single SF redside (though Silver Mantis SF is pretty fun). Adding either more regular missions or some sort of auxillary item that adds AE functionality would give it use.
I was just thinking of possible counters to the idea is all. And someone with a small solo base could easily hang their hat on that piece of it. -
I think the idea of the lead/clues approach has real merit.
A lot of players may ignore them, but for those that like puzzles or have played the normal approach to death so far, this could be a neat carrot to get out there and beat the streets.
I agree the mission computer would be perfect for this, however, that leads to the possible opposition:- What if my base doesn't have a mission computer? (off the cuff response - abandoned labs in the Isles could have one, or the university could have a dedicated station)
- If the initial lead drops randomly, then I'll miss an opportunity. (again off the cuff, but if any permanent reward was temporary or tradable you wouldn't be 'denied' anything. Plus if there were a couple of stories per villain group then the opportunities could devleop them throughout your career, and it sounds like a nice way to further promote altitis to find that content you 'missed'.)

Quote:For -heal, yes. But if the healing isn't hitting Rommie, than the -Regen on Rommie is more useful.Originally Posted by Laevateinn
-Heal affects the caster's healing power (not the target), so you should use it on the healing nictus. As mentioned, the autohit Mire one is also a good option.
The healing Nictus is the one on Rommie's right (your left) and the autohit nictus is directly behind him. -
Quote:Venture, I haven't always agreed with your reviews/styles in the past, and said so on occasion in various posts. However, for whatever little it is worth, this thread includes informative reviews with good tone overall. Ignoring the sidebar distraction in here that does not involve your reviews, I say keep it up.Originally Posted by Venture
Normally this would get three stars from me. It gets an extra star for the humor in the Disco Trolls and out of acknowledgment that it's an incredible achievement given the architect's age. The arc has a theme, even if it doesn't do much with it, and shows a strong grasp of the fundamentals. The dialog could use some work but that will improve with time. Recommended.
And further, I smiled and thought "Even Venture cannot resist the power of Sister Flame!"
-
Nice thought, Kahlan, I never thought about taking advantage of the -dmg on the Mire. And frequently when things have gone wrong on an ITF for me before its due to that nasty auto-hit too. Nice thought.
-
Either works.
When I run on the ITF with my cold characters, if the team gets Rommy well positioned (on the roof edge or with the healing nictus taunted away) I hit Rommy. If the team is trying to out DPS the heals then the nictus gets it. -
