Now that's just creepy.

That's correct, psuedopets use their own modifier table (usually Class_Minion_Pets) rather than the summoner's. Most of them do inherit temp buffs like Power Boost -- the buff itself still uses the caster's mods since once the effect is determined the numbers stay constant even when copied AFAIK.

It's just a weird bug I think, that the bounding box distorts when rotating objects.

You can abuse it to get rotated objects partly into doorways / embedded in outer walls, but otherwise it's harmless.

It might also screw up running the arcs back to back at 50. All of the arcs share a reward table cooldown.

Normal first run:
Heather Townshend (uses first run bonus, doesn't start cooldown)
Mu'Vorkan (uses first run bonus, doesn't start cooldown)
Praetor Duncan (uses first run bonus, doesn't start cooldown)
etc.

However if you're already done them sub-50:
Heater Townshend (full table, starts cooldown timer)
Mu'Vorkan (oops! component choice is on cooldown because you got the table less than 20 hours ago)
Praetor Duncan (now both component and merit are on cooldown...)

I haven't actually had a chance to verify that yet, but current evidence suggests that's what would happen. You'd have to wait a day between each arc to be able to qualify for the component each time.

All DA arcs share a reward table, and each option on that table has a 20 hour cooldown for picking it. However, the first time you run one, you get a "freebie" for that arc and it doesn't count toward the cooldown. At least that's how it seemed to work when I was duoing it and completing some of them twice.

Not even... purple hasten?

Just look at the mess that is Incarnate power customization.

Is there a reference for that being intended? I don't recall ever seeing an official comment on it.

All the other auras being Scale 1 Melee_InherentTaunt, while the SR aura is Scale 1 Melee_Ones (and RttC being Scale 1.25 Melee_Ones for that matter) certainly smells like a bug to me.

Well of course it is. I highly doubt that the all the powers people were linking on day one of the beta were discovered by guessing. I'm just trying to point out that digging in things they're not supposed to isn't the only way powers like that can be found. If somebody links one power I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, but the one person on beta who went down a list... Yeah, we all know where that came from.

Titan Weapons was publicly "discovered" because of reuse of the power name Shatter Armor. Either that or the person who posted it is very devious.

Now the AT dropdown in the power info box, that one is a dev goof.

Yeah, I don't remember exactly when they did that, but it for sure doesn't work on live . The power does still exist though.

It's true... but probably not for those reasons. I've been biting my tongue every time poor Tunnel Rat and co. get harassed about it, because their part has been done for a long time. Including epics. Powers team still has a little bit to do to connect everything, and of course the biggest part falls on the shoulders of the nonexistent UI programmer.

I've been seriously considering submitting a resume for that open position on the website, but it's listed specifically as being UI design for the new project, so I don't know if whoever is hired will be assigned any time to work on CoH's UI

No, it wasn't the switch I was referring to, I know how a deadman's switch works.

Here it is, just checked the archive of the live stream to be sure. The exact phrase is "Chimera's death triggers a dead man's switch!"

(29:14 if the link to the timestamp doesn't work)

Or you're good at guessing. For example, once people started linking the primalist shapeshift powers I saw the descriptions and forms and thought, "A cat that does bleed DoTs? This sounds like a ripoff of a certain Druidic type from another World. Hmm, I wonder if they copied the healing spec too... [Wild Growth] [Rejuvenate] [Regrowth]. Hmm, 2/3 and they're in Nature Affinity, what's that?"

If the devs really wanted to prevent WIP powers from being linkable, they could. They've done it in the past. You can't link [The I Win Button] anymore, even though the power still exists with that name. It probably wouldn't even be too hard to make the link generator check the same source that the powerset list uses (and that the pool list apparently needs to be fixed to use) to decide if a set is "released" and show it to us or not.

Noncompetitive servers? Uh, what? And communication in this game is cross-server, so that doesn't really make sense.

So no thanks. I team with friends most of the time and it would make no difference if the server was completely empty, except a little less lag for us. If anything, they should add MORE servers so I can have extra character slots! I'm fairly sure they're running on a virtualized environment now, so changing the number of "servers" doesn't really affect the hardware requirements or overall load that much.

We get a free transfer a month now -- people who don't know how to use global channels and prefer LFT spam can easily transfer to Freedumb and give up their names without bothering the rest of us.

What is this I don't even...
