    Constant aura

    Probably a temporary power from a story arc, although I can't think of which one it might be off the top of my head. From the sound of it, it might be the Regeneraton Increase from the 45-50 Mayhem (or Safeguard, if you're a heroic Corruptor), but I forget what that looks like. Try checking the buff icons located underneath your HP/end/XP window.
  2. This model doesn't account for anything that actually happens in the game, like mezzes, defense, resistance, accuracy, tohit, or that jerkwad random number generator that seems to hate me so much.
  3. The rumor you heard might have been about the Incarnate system. Years ago, Incarnates were going to be a new epic archetype, but instead the concept is being implemented as an endgame system for existing level 50 characters.

    You could stop posting in it so it doesn't get bumped again, tho.
    I'm not saying it's against the rules, I'm saying it's annoying.
  5. Bug report: it's displaying the hero badge names for my fully 100% villain (never crossed over, in fact just finished his 5th villainous tip). Not really a major issue since it's displayed correctly on CIT, just a minor annoyance.

    Pretty sure reposting the same thread over and over again is just as spammy as resurrecting old ones. The topic was already sufficiently discussed in the prior thread; it didn't need to be necromanced OR reincarnated.

    That having been said the game could definitely benefit from bestial stances, but animal skeletons? No.

    Praetoria at 20?

    *Unless you're in the middle of an arc.

    Still, the fact that they did it was shocking.
  9. This is the second time you've made this thread, FYI.

    You're playing the wrong game for what you want to do. Sorry.

    Crab Spider Soldier's Frag Grenade is greyed out at level 18, and the only way to pick it is by selecting Arachno Soldier's Frag Grenade as a prerequisite... but if you then select the Crab Spider's version, the first is invalid, and if you try to deselect the Arachno's one, Crab Spider's Frag Grenade is in red complaining it can't be used that way ingame (although you can now put slots into it).

    Oh, if you put in any power from your primary or secondary as the level 41 power, it will act as a prerequisite to unlock level 44 powers from the patron pools for Crab Spider Soldiers. Dunno if it's the same for other Arachnos Soldiers.
    This would probably be the better place to report such things.
  11. Wait, since when is Hess available in Ouroboros? Also, you don't need to do Lars Hansen's story arc again for Hess to talk to you, once is sufficient.
  12. I haven't brought a character full-circle yet but I doubt it. When you side-switch, it warns you that all your current missions will be abandoned.
  13. Power Pool Customization is something they want to do but is somewhat low priority. I have to think it'll be coming within the next few issues, though.

    Actually, the competitors are copying the archetype model, and for good reason -- it works.

    That's pretty much what Matthew Burke was intended to be. I suppose Burke and Creed could be moved to a new zone, though.

    Their covers certainly were, if not the stories. Actually a lot of the stories were simply repeats of earlier stories under the assumption that nobody who had read them would still be reading comics.
  17. I dunno, it sounds like a bug to me. Just because it started recently doesn't mean it's not a bug, nor does the fact that it hasn't been fixed yet (it's probably low priority).

    Those two things you described are one and the same.

    If I take a HEAT over to being a villain, can he unlock Patron Power Pools by doing a patron arc?
    No. The Patron Pools are still an epic pool.

    Problem Enemies

    Destroyer bosses - Dominators and Controllers. Literally cannot even be mezzed by Domination-boosted mezzes. Best bet is to chomp down on insps and rush back from the hospital with more insps before his HP fully regenerates.

    Because it would be half-doubly redundant?
  22. The first time I ran this mission my future self didn't spawn at all. I continued to wander around the map defeating enemies until it completed on its own. The second time I ran the mission it behaved normally. It definitely seems to be an irregular thing.

    Fine. If you don't respec, you don't lose the powerset, but you also don't get the freespec so it doesn't really matter anyway.
    If by "anal retentive" you mean "not wrong" then yes.

    I heard that mobs will get to use the fitness pool as well but they will also have to respec. I heard from some people that were in closed beta, that I cannot name, that alot of times mobs would just be sitting there letting you pound on them and getting killed while they were doing their respec.
    I know you're joking but that would be hilarious

    Incorrect. They are changing an entire power pool to inherent. Hell, they're not even removing the non-inherent version, any character with the pool that doesn't ever respec will still have it.

    This is how rumors get started, people.
