Thanks for the head’s up. A fix is on the way…

I'm willing to listen to ideas on how truly horrible content can get rated without having to endure all of it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Those that apply the rating before they have finished only count only as a count of .5 (or whichever fraction of the arc they have completed) of the whole total ratings. One who has completed the full arc counts the full 1 towards the rating count.

Eh, it only has a 5% chance every 10 seconds. One can never be sure when that will happen. Also, the "Build Up" lasts only 5 seconds. The only reason I slot it anymore is to get the tier 6 set bonus of +2.5% Meele, Range and AoE.

[ QUOTE ]
I was under the impression that if you slotted 4 Miracles into, say, Aid Self that the +5% Enhancement(Heal) would NOT apply to it.

I thought that the bonus was only applicable to powers that healed OTHER people not yourself. Is that incorrect?

Mid's seems to indicate that the +5% heal bonus DOES apply to Aid Self.

Thanks for your time.

[/ QUOTE ]

Castle explained awhile back that only heals that grant Damage Resistance will not benefit from the +% Heal set bonus(Reconstruction, Healing Flames). Others still benefit from the heal bonus.

Having to buy all new enhancements, means I'm not going to try it.
If you only had to buy new enhancements for the powers you changed, it would be fine.

[/ QUOTE ]

I had expected activating the second build to start the respec screen, not retrain from zero. It frustrated me greatly that I could not access the same 'pool' of enhancements. I do not have the resources on any of my characters to repurchase and remake all the IO sets I'd need for the second build.

I haven't used any secondary builds, and suspect I may never use them.

Bug Description:
Private Tells are not sending all the information. "[Tell]Mr. Funny, Hey dude, Whatcha up to?" became "[Tell]?"
Another time was just "[Tell]". Backspace doesn't work when this happens as even the character's name is missing--Quick Reply just fails.
It appears to happen only soon after I've logged in or zoned to/from a mission map. Most often it's only the first tell after Logging/Zoning. Possibly it's when one right clicks the Friends Tab to send the tell. I've yet to see if this happens with a Global Tell.

I too would like to see the timer decreased from 24 hours to 20 hours.

[/ QUOTE ]

I wouldn't mind if it was even as low as 12-16 hours. Some folks can only play on the weekend, and then the taskforces they can get on. Some folks still do the same one again and again.

Pro:
Being able to buy the recipe I want! I can finally get that Luck of the Gambler Def/Global Recharge for less than 25-60 Million, and even at lower level than level 50 (nice to keep those set bonuses when exemping).

Con:
Costs on average two tf/sf's worth just to buy the 'commonest' uncommon recipes. Rares requires 6-8 or more. (This presumes an average of 25 merit for a tf) The costs are too high. Decreasing them 20%-33% would help(they should not be TOO cheap). Some rare recipes cost far too much for low demand sets (i.e. Trap of the hunter, Pace of the Turtle). I cannot imagine anyone spending 200 merits for Trap of the hunter : Chance for Lethal Damage.


Pro:
Villains can spend merits to get the recipes that are selling for over 60 million on Black Market for much less.

Con:
Villains have few SF's to earn merits to begin with. Lord Recluse's SF is easily the hardest in the game, and grants only 25. The reward is not worth the risk, and is far too low for what is supposed to be "endgame content".
Villains need more SF's, and likely a 20% increase to the merits rewards until more content can be added. LRSF should be 60%-100% more than it is.


Pro:
Giant Monsters are sought after beyond the first "get-the-badge" defeat--now they drop merits!

Con:
They drop a mere two, and many stop seeking Giant Monsters due to low reward. (Lusca is particularly bad granting 2 merits for want is in essence nine defeats).
% merits would be a better base, and the value ought to be modified base on the difficulty of the monster.
The monsters of Monster Island grant none, and should at least have a small chance to grant a merit.


Pro:
I can spend merits for rare salvage.

Con:
I can only get a random drop as opposed to what I actually need. (Merits are too few and too precious to waste on random salvage)


Pro:
I can spend a merits to get a random Trial or TF recipe drop. No more 'farming' Eden trials and Katie Hannon TF's.

Con:
I have no idea what set recipe is in which pool, especially in regards to the new Set recipes.


Pro:
Ouroboros arcs grant Merits! Excellent!

Con:
These leaves them open to farming when anyone find an arc than grants a lot of merits.
Flashback arcs should only grant a percentage if a player already has the souvenir from the arc (and I mean each player, if some have it partial amount, those who don't full. Even on the same team.) I have not been able to test if this is already the case, or if it's even possible to grant varying awards to the same team.

You should not be seeing issues with this service anymore, this was due to a PLayNC publish that is now completed.

Well, my one unclaimed slot, AND 2 others I spent of Infinity Server Have all vanished!

It's 10:30 PM EST, they are still very gone.

UPDATE: after logging out and relogging my account, they have all reappeared. The issue appears to be intermittent.

[ QUOTE ]
Very nice, I can't wait to see what some of the Costume Sets look like. Maybe some free costumes for i12, hmm?

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to clarify for everyone, to my knowledge there are no new costume items added. The sets from the pull down are just the collection of all the items in that list. For example, if you want to have all the "steampunk" items (say to start and tweak your character from there) it will select all of those for you. But it doesn't mean that there are items for every slot in that set; just that it puts what available costume items there are on your character.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, no Steampunk boots....Piston Boots come close, though.

The St. Martial casinos:

They ought to have some purpose besides scenery.

Actually gambling in game is a slippery slope, perhaps a limited times per day. A chance to get uncommon and rare recipes perhaps (with the lack of trials and Strike Forces, getting those recipes only attainable via those is rather difficult.)

I just want to say how glad we are to have Blue Steel on the forums.

Whoo Hoo!!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ha! Hey Lighty, I caught another Red Name that needs an introduction!

[/ QUOTE ]

Ex? Hunh. This post doesn't appear on the Community Digest. Is your status changing too?

My Windows Media Player states that there is a problem with the URL, and the file type is not recognized by the player. I cannot watch any of the trailers.

[ QUOTE ]
Still don't understand what the big deal is. I think people need to relax and just put it out of their mind.

[/ QUOTE ]

The issue is my chat boxes crammed full of these announcements, and I miss most Tells and Global chat. My friends think I'm ignoring them.

[ QUOTE ]


No way, I would have gone with Drops II: Attack of the Drops.

[/ QUOTE ]

*wince*

People has been slapped silly for less

[ QUOTE ]
The point is that you have to run the trial again if you want the bonus. Think of it as something else about bases you have to upkeep.

[/ QUOTE ]

It appeared to me that the item could only be kept 7 days, then lost and 21 until you could get another. Positron clarified this, but I was never a fan--nor will ikely ever be--of rent/upkeep. Rent is annoying enough to have in real life. I don't like it in game too. That's just me.

[ QUOTE ]
Then it will be off for 21 days, after which you will lose the Items of Power and this cycle repeats.

[/ QUOTE ]

LOSE them? Are you freaking kidding? What's the point then?

[ QUOTE ]
You know - you could submit that kind of thing to the submissions box. You never know what might show up in the community pages of the comic or on the website.

[/ QUOTE ]

um, What submissions box?

[ QUOTE ]
So - here it is.

Added to the patch notes:

The Hamidon has been increased in difficulty. It is now capable of using one of its attack powers even when Held, Slept, or Stunned.

Evidently Hammy got a laser beam on it's head a long time ago but just now figured out how to use it.

[/ QUOTE ]

This REALLY defeats the concept of holds.

[ QUOTE ]
An easy way to consider it is:

Without any modifiers, you go from 0 endurance to full endurance in 60 seconds. So, Temp powers or Accolades which increase Max Endurance are also, effectively, increasing Recovery rate.

Stamina, 3 slotted with +3 SO's grants 149% Recovery, or roughly 2.5 End/second if you have the normal Endurance maximum.

[/ QUOTE ]

I 6-slot Stamina with every toon, save those with another was to gain it (Transferance) or Masterminds which actually don't need it. If 4 or 5 slot it, I run out of Endurance in every fight, and this is with an End reducer SO in every attack power and toggle.

149% looks good, but in practice is not nearly enough.

Quote:
OK - here's the most likely outcome...

If you own both games, you get all options - the new CoV sets will be accessible for your heroes.

---

I've upgraded using the CoV preorder, but heroes DON'T get the new costume options! What happened?!

Having played with this buff...

AND Enhancement Disversification

It is not nearly enough to make up for the dimished effect of stamina.

And NO WAY it is an acceptable trade for ED.

This hardly makes any sense. Reflexes are about not getting hit, and now it's getting DR?

Reflexes don't help you soak damage, so why not increase there base rates? Y'know, like before I5?
