  1. Most of the values are less than advertised. The 2.5% End Reduction from Support Tier 1? It's 2.43%; not much lower, but something is awfully wrong with the math.

    The only numbers that seem proper is the inherent +Dam inherent for slotting Assault(unless you right-click the power icon, it says less)

    Yeah. At 30% volume and 10% system volume that noise is STILL too loud. It causes my Klipsch headphones to sputter thanks to how loud it is.

    Even better? When there's more than one of those lightning patches it gets EVEN LOUDER.

    Who's idea was this? NOTHING in the game needs to be that loud. I love playing with my sound on, but I have to mute the Magisterium trial thanks to that awful siren-klaxon blast.
    I often play at 1-2% effect volume; music at 1%. The game is loud.

    Eh, I'm just bitter.

    I've run near a dozen attempt to complete it, 11 got to Tyrant, but we could not get him below 20% health at any time.

    When it fails, he says his defeated dialogue and turns into the small level 50 verison of himself(despite obvious failure), and vanishes after a few seconds. We even get "Trial Complete", despite its failure. Worst, the Magisterium grants no Astrals Merits for anything we did accomplish. After a awhile, it's just a damn threshing machine--to me not fun at all.

    The 'prize', Hybrid is much less useful that I thought it would be. It's not something worth the difficulty of The Magisterium.

    Is it? No, wait, it isn't. You had me going there.

    By farming. Aberrant game-play. Trying it for real is as much fun as kissing a wood-chipper. I haven't been this disappointed since ED was implemented.

    Until such time, Hybrid remains...disappointing.

  8. It's day one, and already, players are farming the Magisterium: Defeating 250 IDF, quitting the trial, and repeating, because there is no other way besides Magisterium to earn Hybrid.

    We have aberrant game-play rather than a feasible means of unlocking the new slot. We need some other means. We have scads of trials that are now obsolete, because they won't grants any of the new iXP.

    When will this change?

    How wonderfully condescending.

    I know full well of retcons. They can add and they can take away. When a retcon removes what was, that is what they call "bad".

    I don't want my MoSTF to go away. I did his task force, not his grand-daughter's.

    Wait, what? If we have MoSTF, we're losing it!? Let the ****-storm commence.

  14. It appears that the Incarnate Tsoo Sorcerers of Dark Astoria are not counting towards the progress of the Tracer badge(defeat 200 Tsoo Sorcerers).

    (While not 100% certain, the Male Sorcerers might be counting, but not the Sorceresses)

    I've noticed it work even when there is no enemy in melee range.

    Actually they do. The issue is, it would take as long as it took them to implement it as it did all primary and secondary sets (many months of work)

    They did express that they felt that Patron powers wouldn't due to the fact they come from an outside source (one I hardily disagree with).

    The 15th. I attempted to log in, and it would not accept my password. FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. I was locked out for a couple hours. This used to happen frequently when the forums would randomly dump you out of login.

    After that, I could log in no problem.

    CM's are more than just forum jockey's these days.

    As to your questions:

    1. I manage the Community aspect of all Paragon Titles

    2. Yes, they hired me

    3. Depends, how much do you like research and documentation?
    I read the entire post thinking CM meant Clear Mind.

    Boom.
    Don't be silly. "Boom" has been a word for quite some time.

    Now "Harbiter"; I think that's a new one.

    I notice it doesn't say the set is Unique. Can you slot it into each power you wish to change the KB on?

    If so, it uses the same "looking around" animation that is supposed to be played when you receive a Fortune. So maybe the bug is connected to that.
    I run into this problem with Heightened Senses. It even shows thae leg sweep in the icon tailor's power customization.
