    Who each have two more Arcanavilles for faces?

    O_O
    Fractals pretty.

    Also, when Arcanaville sneezes, it looks like the Mandelbrot set.

  6. (On this account) I was set to drop to premium Sept 4th. On August 31, my account information said so. Now, it just says I'm VIP and has no line indicating an expiry date. I still have access to all VIP features.

    On another account, I was Premium, am still premium, and have no option to upgrade from premium.
  7. I threw 200,000,000 at buying a Ceramic Armor Plate last night, just 'cause.

    (Didn't even need it, I had 6 on me.)
  8. I figure I've already put about $2000 or so into this game...
  9. You guys rock.

    Now to really get ready to make my move in the Last Post Wins.....
  10. Got one each for both of my accounts...only took 4 tries!
  11. I'm inclined to believe that the only manners in which hasten would stack are:
    a) We're talking about the random powers granted by blowing up the big containers on certain laboratory maps, rather than the pool power

    OR

    b) At some point between activations, you either logged out/back in (very quickly, I'd note), or you changed zones.

    Probably, yeah

    But a Storm/Sonic defender with loads of recharge can do some pretty surprising things. (Separate castings of Freezing Rain stack, allowing windows where Freezing Rain can be double-stacked with "good" recharge; /Sonic Attack can dish out about 100-120% worth of Resistance Debuff on a heavy recharge Defender build, creating a top-end debuff of about -230% when one throws in Achilles Heel, Fury of the Gladiator, and Reactive interface)

    If you "cheat" and throw in a Chem Nuke (50% res debuff) and .... some hypothetical other Temp power (can't think of any off the top of my head) that includes at least -20% res, then the -300% resistance cap can be achieved against a foe in areas where they have no existing resistance.
  16. I use OG on my Claws/Dark stalker. I don't mind a bit of wandering around, since I'm killing things in 1-2 shots, 1 at a time. (Except when I hit Vengeance)

    What we really need is the Freem! tree....

    Genesis?

    ...Maybe it enhances enhancements

    [Speculation]
    Each tree affects a particular group of enhancements, as with Alpha
    T1 enhances one type of enhancement value by 10% (including applicable alpha boosts), with no (additional) ED bypass; so if you select a tree that boosts damage, and go with T1, a power that was slotted with 3 even-level damage SOs goes from 95% to 96.5%, whereas a power that was slotted with 2 even-level damage SOs goes from 66.6% to 72.9%. Similarly, if you had 3 even-level damage SOs and a T4 Musculature Core alpha, you'd go from 127.3% damage to 132.0%

    The Core tree increases the magnitude of the enhancement, while the Radial tree provides a little bit of ED bypass to the overall enhancement value of the power.

    T2 Core increases enhancement values by 20%, while T2 radial increases enhancement values by 10% and allows 5% of the total enhancement value to bypass ED

    T3 Total Core increases enhancement values by 30%, Partial Core increases enhancement values by 25% and allows 5% of the total enhancement to bypass ED, Partial Radial increases enhancement values by 20% and allows 10% of the total enhancement value to bypass ED, and Total Radial increases enhancement values by 10% and allows 15% of the Total Enhancement Value to bypass ED

    T4 Core increases enhancement values by 40% and allows 10% of the total Enhancement Value to bypass ED. T4 Radial increases enhancement values by 20% and allows 20% of the Total Enhancement Value to bypass ED.

    Given 5 Level 50 Damage IOs, T4 Radial Damage Genesis and T4 Core Musculature Alpha, one would be able to achieve a damage enhancement of:

    Originally Subject to ED:
    (5 x 42.4 + 15) x 1.2 = 272.4

    Granted ED bypass:
    54.5 (Genesis) + 30 (Alpha)

    Subjected to ED:
    217.9

    Total Enhancement:
    ED(217.9) + 54.5 + 30 = 197.2

    ...That would be balanceable, right?
    [/Speculation]

    Genesis?

    ....respawn a map with an entire enemy group? (Each tree determines the enemy group)


    Or allies. It could be kind of cool to have an "instant army of not-quite pets appear and help me in this battle" button.
  21. As a variation on this - how about autocasting an inspiration on someone when I'm trying to give it to them, and their tray is full? Especially useful if someone falls in combat with a full insp tray, and I'm trying to hand them a wakie.
  22. I had one fully incarnated character prior to the release of Hybrid, but during and ever since, this character has been on a Non-VIP account

    Since then, I have managed to make an Incarnate character (unlocked all slots but Hybrid, have a T3 in each), and have unlocked Alpha+ on a couple of others.

    Thanks for the answers already The issue i have is that Alpha indeed shows its recharge bonus on Phantom Army, however, the actual recharge in Seconds doesn't change. It's not recharge capped at all as even with no recharge from anything but Alpha, it doesn't work.

    On a new build with nothing i can pick Phantom Army and slot the incarnate Agility, it shows 33% recharge in the power but it stays at 240sec. Other powers update as usual though.

    ANy idea if there's a workaround or a way to fix this through the database editor ? Seems like i won't be able to make an ill build until it's fixed My database version is July.
    Again, still on March 2012, in my above example recharge goes from 118.3s to 102.0s using Spiritual Core Paragon, 105.9s using Spiritual Radial Paragon, 104.9s using Spiritual Total Core Revamp, 105.9s using Agility Core Paragon

    If you go to Options->Advanced->Database Editor, what date do you see in the Database Update Date field?

    EDIT: running the test you indicate above, I see no enhancement data on Phantom Army, but the recharge does go down to 180.5s
  24. Works for me in the database release from March 12, 2012

    Slotted PA with 5 Expedient Reinforcement and a level 50 Recharge IO - Recharge = 96.70%
    Went to the Incarnate Window, selected Spiritual Core Paragon, and turned on Incarnate in the upper-right corner, recharge increased to 128.95%
