Quote:I guess I should have explained better.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Terrible idea. If you're fighting more than 4 people, it will always drain your endurance, despite not healing more than hitting 2.
Max endurance would be equal to the current cost of the power, which is 18 IIRC. IT would be NO different than how much endurance you use now.
I hope that clears it up.
EDIT: I've played Dark Armor for a loooooong time. My first 50 was a Elm/DA Brute back in 2007. Most of my experience was before IOs and the dismissive attitude they brought to any balance argument. Using DR against 1 target is a waste of endurance and should be scaled (IMO of course).
To summarize:
1 target hit, 33% of current end cost of DR or 6 endurance
2 targets hit, 12 endurance
3+ targets hit, 18 endurance
Lastly, there are a handful of changes I promoted over the years but once IOs came I dropped a couple.* One that I still think needs review is the additional of a tohit debuff in Death Shroud. Thsi fits thematically with the set and also would explain why DS' damage is lower compared to other damage auras that do not carry a secondary effect.
*The main one I dropped was changing Soul Transfer into a new power similar to Eclipse but that was more of a dream since it broke the 'cottage rule.' -
DR should have it's endurance set to scale based on targets hit.
1-2 Target hit - 33% end cost
3 Targets hit - 66% end cost
4+ Targets hit - 100% end cost
That would be my suggestion (and has been FOOOOOREEEVVVVERRRRR) -

Yes... that's his son. Of course we can debate if one can feel shame in the hereafter, but my implication was that he'd be disappointed to know his son was promulgating nutty theories.
There are worse things for a son to become. -
This thread needs more pics and more people responding to the OP like they are original.

Thanks again for the recap! -

In fact, what ignoramus still plays Energy Blast in 2011 when you can recolor Fire and have a good set?
I have a NRG/NRG Blsater and a Fire/Fire Blaster (both 50+1). They play radically different but I'm guessing you wouldn't know this assuming, based on your hate for KB, that you have never played a NRG/ Blaster for any serious amount of time.
By the way, there are a couple procs worth slotting in NRG's ST blasts that really help make the set that much more effective in ST damage. Sure, it probably won't beat out Fire Blast but it's still a very fun set to play. I'm sorry you feel otherwise. -
KB is one of the few effects in this game that actually make you feel very powerful. I love KB in the hands of my Blasters and I get great laughs from taking my 50 +1 NRG/NRG Blaster to Atlas and Power Thursting SKuls a mile away.
KB can be a hinderance to a team if used inappropriately. But that's no different than an idiot scrapper, blaster, etc aggroing a 2nd or even 3rd mob. -
My wife and I watched it last night and really enjoyed it so far. She's a big Disney fan and I just like stories such as these. Seems like it could be a fun show.

Quote:Be a man. Don't be passive aggressive. I don;t know what exploit this fixed, I haven't been ingame since Monday (monday I played a total of 2 hours, weeeeee).Originally Posted by SwellGuy
Anyone else reminded of the AE fix threads by this one? You know the ones where the devs closed an exploit and all the exploiters came in yelling and screaming about it?
I'm upset because I have spend my time in game possibly running characters through the alignment system AGAIN when they have already done it previously.
I asked for clarification on this from a redname but I haven't seen an update. I don't want to re-run 11 missions.

Quote:I understand what you are saying but I find it hard to believe given how easily it is to slot for ACC with Set IO and obtain accuracy bonuses. Are we assuming SOs or Common IOs only? What type of accuracy slotting in CoF? OG?Originally Posted by Arcanaville
I wouldn't mind higher CoF accuracy, but I do want to point out a weird occasional benefit to CoF's low base accuracy. Suppose you're fighting more than ten things in roughly melee range. If you turn on OG to stun them, OG will hit its target cap of ten targets. At high accuracy, they will be the ten closest targets to you most of the time. If you also turn of CoF, if CoF had the same accuracy it would also tend to hit the same targets, more or less. But at lower accuracy CoF tends to miss many of the first targets it sees.
This is important, because the target cap enforced on all AoEs is number of targets *hit* not number of targets rolled against. So if CoF misses a few, it will keep looking for targets until it finds ten, or runs out of targets in range. The difference in accuracy tends to cause the two auras to hit a somewhat different set of targets (with some overlap) if both auras are on, which can have some benefit in high density environments.
The deficits to players only running one at a time outweigh this situational advantage, but it is there: I've exploited this mechanical difference myself on occasion. -
Quote:I asked for clarification once ya know. You stated this wasn't a bug.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
You're also assuming something. I'll wait and see if you find out what it is.
If you want to be helpful, then be helpful. I grow tired of crypitc games. -
Quote:Absolutely. I always man up to being wrong. I really hope I'm wrong here and that I'm not forced to redo the alignment system on the characters that had already completed it previously.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
One of us is wrong about the situation. When that person realizes it if it is me I will return and say so. Will you if it is you?

Quote:You assume which makes you wrong.Originally Posted by TerraDraconis
I'm not seeing the issue aside from the bug. You always where supposed to have run 11 missions per character before the SSA would award an alignment merit. It definitely made no sense if characters who hadn't run the alignment mission could earn alignment merits.
The characters in quesiton are heroes/villains and they have been through the Alignment system to be a hero or villain. Now, I have to redo that process across those characters in order to obtain the same reward I was getting before this fix.
It's a big inconvenience for people with limited play time man. -
Quote:Ya, I know that. I have to run at least 121 missions to get just 11 of my characters back to the way they were PRIOR to this 'fix.' That is, able to earn Hero/Villain Merits from the SSA.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
You don't have to run the tips all the time, just the one 11 mission cycle once per character at level 20+ to unlock the ability to get the hero/villain merit.
Quote:Originally Posted by SwellGuy
You can still get reward merits which is the standard reward for characters who have not run the full hero/villain tips cycle or for those who have opted for vigilante/rogue standing.
Oh boy. 2 x 4 Merits! Joy!
No. I want to not be inconvenience by the developers and be forced to run 11 missions per character in order to receive a reward that I was able to receive prior to their exploit fix.
I'm not delusional to think I'll get any type of response from a redname, let alone any fix. But I'm going to complain about being inconvenienced yet again. -
Quote:I have a hard time expressing how deeply annoyed I am at this, exploit or no. I don't typically run Tip missions on my characters but I do run the SSAs. Now I am required to spend all of my ingame time to run these tip missions.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
It's not a bug. It's to squash an exploit.
Very frustrating.
Why again are we bashing on Shubbie? Seems like this is a legitimate gripe. -

Quote:Who cares.Originally Posted by SpyralPegacyon
Didn't Shubbie quit the last time he blew something all out of proportion? Like, a week or two ago?
If I have to run 10 missions per character, then I'm going to be annoyed. I rarely have that time per week let alone per character.
Someone please clarify. I'd like to know before I waste any of my time. -
Wait.
So I have to run 10 missions now on every character I have if I want them to be able to obtain a Hero or Villain Merit when I run the SSAs? -
The only changes I ever wanted for DA is to have Dark Regen's endurance usage applied based on it's healing. If you hit 1 target, then end consumed is for one target. 2 Targets, etc. And have Dark Shroud apply a tohit debuff.
But this was before IOs made endurance management a non-issue. Also before IOs, I wanted Soul Transfer removed for an Eclipse clone. Again, IOs made this a non-issue. -
Quote:I noticed something when watching this video. His defense #'s fluctuate even when he isn't hit by their swords (which I assume have -def). Seems strange that he suddenly gets 45%+ def when his health nealy plummets at one point and then the def drops back down when nothing hits him.Originally Posted by EJI
I don't mean to create a tangent or imply anything but I just wanted to make sure what I'm seeing is really what I'm seeing.
EDIT: Wait, I think I figured it out. Is that Shadow Meld I see in is power tray? That would def explain it. -
Ya, this happens to me quite often since I'm one of the first to spawn after the Trial starts.
Most recent it happened on my SS/Ela/Mu Brute...the one made for AoE carnage. I was beyond annoyed on that character (+1 level). However, on other characters that were native 50 (no alpha slotted yet) and were a bit squishy I did not mind sitting out most of the time. It also give the ability to see the trial and gain a better understanding. It's a Gift and a Curse really. -
Quote:Yep, that is one of the non-canon stories for Darth Maul.Originally Posted by ChaosAngelGeno
I could be wrong, and I can't think of the title, but I remember reading a graphic novel containing short stories that revealed other plots that took place during the Clone Wars and shorty after the Clone Wars ended. One of the shorts had Darth Maul returning on Tattooine with cybernetic legs, baiting Obi Wan by threating a young Luke Skywalker at the Lars' residence. Obi Wan makes short work of Darth Maul, and I think it ends with Lars telling Obi Wan to stay away from Luke and his family.
-
I think people are jumping to conclusions here.
There is no evidence he survived. All we know is he returns. This could mean a number of things. Does he get resurrected? Does his spirit get brought back? Etc etc.
Personally, I'm leaning towards the Nightsisters doing a seance of some sort and attempt to bring his spirit back for a new host body. -
Quote:So, since you are unoriginal and uncreative it's fine for you to mock others?Originally Posted by Tyger42
You know, your response would be meaningful rather than trolling had I made any sort of claim that my name was creative, original, etc. The fact of the matter is that "<color> Centurion" is not a particularly creative name. That doesn't make it bad necessarily, just means that the odds of it not being taken are extremely slim. To the point where I'd be extremely shocked to try it and find that it -IS- available on even a very low pop server.
Got it. I'll keep that in mind when reading your posts.
