Quote:Now throw that pencil up and overcome gravity..... oh wait... gravity won again.Originally Posted by Sailboat
Nitpick: gravity is one of the weakest forces known to physics. To prove this, pick up a pencil. You've just counteracted the strength of the entire mass of the earth.
You are talking about a force that can hold the moon in orbit... that sounds pretty damned strong to me.

For missions, while solo and using that setting, they will spawn as LTs only. You'll still get credit, but won't have the Boss stats (HP, dmg, res, etc). Makes things easier.

If you can solo with a higher team setting in a family mission (6 or higher works best IMO), set to "no bosses" and go nuts as well. -

Huh... Odd, then it must be something else producing these ping times. I wasn't aware of this change of location. I still don't intend to play on Freedom or Virtue, however, unless they did something big to prevent prime time high ping times.

Funnily enough the one that stood out to me the most was the title of your thread:

What constitutes broken, though? As far as I'm concerned, 10+ seconds for powers to fire after pressing the button IS completely broken.

Quote:I don't think anyone received emails about a change in globals, only account names.Originally Posted by The Hound
I logged on this morning thinking I'd still find my global as @Royal, as it always has been. But since I wasn't sent an email or anything otherwise to tell me someone else apparently had my name it automatically changed to @Doctor Desecrator.
The Portal geek in me decided to step in and I've now been renamed to @Wheatley. -
I think, although I may be wrong, that the toon needs to be either a hero or a villian and not a preatorian. So if your level 26 toon began in Praetoria then it won't unlock them.

I got a silly question here - am I the only one whose forum login and account login (NOT my in-game global, the handle I enter at the login screen) were changed with an "EU" attached to the front WITH NO NOTICE WHATSOEVER? I nearly freaked when I couldn't log into either the game or the forums this morning. If I hadn't gone to the NCsoft site to contact support, I'd never have known my game login had changed (and as for the forum, I just guessed. Lucky me.)
I know it's because I have a (very old and inactive) trial account on NA with the same account name, okay, that makes sense. Be that as it may, I don't remember seeing anything here about login changes, only globals. And in any case, (I could have overlooked it) how come I didn't get a freakin' email to warn me? Come on, you guys know where to find me when I update my security questions, it's not like you can't find me. What would you do with someone who doesn't check the forums? -
Quote:It's possible that someone has created it for listeners over there. This might be a case of talking to the owner and seeing if they can be merged.Originally Posted by Coin
On a seperate note, nice to see some git in the US decided to play silly beggars with the global channels. Someone has created a Rogues Radio channel in the US, meaning that our channel in the EU has been renamed.......thanks for that, whichever pillock you are.
Given that it's for the radio station listeners to use, this could potentially cost us some listeners if they log in to the wrong channel, I can only imagine this was some childish moron trying to grief us.
I'm guessing we're screwed here and I can't get the channel name changed? -

GSA was originally announced as would be taking place at the end of summer.
From the FAQ that this links to, emphasis mine.
Quote:1- When is Global Server Access going to be available?
Global Server Access will be available to all our active subscribers by the end of summer. We will have a more definite date for you at a later time so watch this space!

They are clearly expecting the 300lb Gorilla to go under very soon and for us to get an influx of players looking for the MMO fix.

Quote:This cracks me up... They can't rename accounts so you are stuck with the new EU they added when they renamed your account cos it clashed... Um.....?Originally Posted by Liz Bathory
Can you keep us up on that! As I have the same issue and tried to resolve that before all this started.
My answer was that it is impossible to change/rename or delete accounts once they are made. Which in my ict experience is a bit of Bull***t! But that is my opinion.
So I also have eu in front of my account name. Because my 2 days used trial on US with the same name is there and cannot be deleted. :S -
Quote:Pretty much what Aett has said above regarding the code. I think Bill has some copypasta on this that will likely turn up sooner or later.Originally Posted by TheSceneCommander
Actually, I speak with some authority as to this difficutly of adding such things as vehicles as I've been a games programmer and developer for nearly 30 years, and it cetainly wouldn't involve an engine rewrite, but it might need some work to address the issues you've mentioned.
I do see your point about SG's but there just seem far too many of them. Maybe it should be harder for form one then.
I personally would prefer access to the zones and every player I've spoken to seems to also feel this way. I could be wrong here of course as I've only spoken to a small group of people.
PVP is a very personal thing I agree and I personally don't use it that much either, but I know many players like it, which is why I suggested the option to opt out.
I'm certainly not talking about easy to activate events, I'm thinking more or less one's which might only occour every 2-3 weeks. But I was suggesting that it's not just things like task forces, but something more global which could bring the players together as they could see events changing as the world headed towards the events.
I don't see your point regarding the SG's. Why is this a problem? And seeing as there is a limit on the number of members limiting SG's would make it harder to get into one. Also, there aren't as many heroes in comics as in this game, so maybe we should make it harder to make characters too?
OK, another issue with the PvP in zone is that there are different rules on the powers in PvP zones to in PvE zones. Which do you use?
Finally, I think you missed my point about the LGTF. If you run one now, onces it's over a random zone in game is given a Rikti invasion. If you turn in Halloween salvage there is a chance a zombie invasion will be triggered. -
Pretty much all been expressed before:
1: How do you attack? How do your passengers attack? How does your car get over water? Or up a building? What if you crash? It would be a mammoth task, and probably not easily achieved without rewriting parts of the engine.
2: Solo SG's are a way to gain a base, or lair, for the hero. Most heroes have a base. Batman and Robin were a duo SG really.
3: There are many missions that take you into the other city, just into instances, not zones. Most people prefer this.
4: Been suggested... and no thankyou. I don't PvP and don't want a way for anyone to bother me outside of PvP zones to do it. This isn't a heavily PvP orientated game.
5: Yeah, you and me both.
6: You mean like how finishing a LGTF triggers a rikti invasion? Or turning in halloween salvage can trigger a zombie one? I'd be OK with a few more, so long as they aren't to easy to trigger. -
ROFL, love it!

Quote:It would make perfect sense that this is allowed. It would be very very weird if you can't do this.Originally Posted by SinergyX_NA
That isnt the question, i know i can create new toons on any given servers.
Example: If i have a toon on Defiant, can i transfer this one to Freedom?
Current EU-US transfers are not allowed as it involve account-transfer (but it was possible back in the old days), but i want to know if this is possible within a account after the merge. -
Quote:Yeah, it's a bit hard to judge from the Wiki and Mids as they only show the values (that I could find) not the name, which the rule of 5 applies to.Originally Posted by Tetsuko_NA
Ah!
Thank you - and everyone - for the correction. I knew something like that was at work here, I got the mechanism wrong. -
Quote:That is NOT an exception to the rule. As shown in the Wiki quote above that is because the name of the bonuses are different. This is the way the rule works and apply to other situations, such as the one above where the 2 powers have the same value but a different name so they will stack.Originally Posted by xeaon
The only exception i know of the rule of the 5 is the 7.5% global recharge.
as lofg 7.5% can be slotted 5 times, + 5more times 7.5 from other sets.
Some ppl could say its not an exception of the rule of the 5 since lofg7.5 is in a set of 5, different then the other 7.5%...
im willing to do a snow ball fight over that (even tho i dont care), :P -
It is the NAME of the bonus that matters. Not the values. The Wiki and Mids shows the values, but not the name of the bonus and also shows them as seperate bonuses when they could be one. This was shown in the Info Screen but was removed and I'm not sure if it was replaced. It's possible, as Tetsuke said above, that the differing defence values makes the whole bonus different.

The Law of Fives
While a character can slot the same (full or partial) set multiple times in different powers, he cannot benefit from more than five copies of each named set bonus of the exact same attribute and amount. This is a stronger restriction than simply being limiting to five copies of each set. It means that if two different sets give the same size bonus to the same thing, the character can't get more than 5x that bonus even if he uses a mix of sets.
Example: The Kinetic Combat set can give +1.5% Max Health and +3.3% Immobilization Resistance. The Mako's Bite set can give +1.5% Max Health and +2.75% Immobilization Resistance. If a character slots four partial sets of both, he will receive the full total of 24.2% Immobilization Resistance but only +7.5% Max Health because he cannot get more than five Max Health bonuses of exactly +1.5%. Castle further elaborated on the rule of five in I13 Closed Beta saying that the exclusion of more than five of the same bonuses is based on the name of the bonus and not its value. For example, a character can benefit from up to five global benefits of Luck of the Gambler: Defense/Increased Recharge Speed, which gives a global +7.5% bonus to Recharge Rate, as well as up to five set bonuses of +7.5% Recharge. That's because the first bonus is named "Luck of the Gambler: Recharge Speed" while the second is "Huge Recharge Bonus". One can find the names of the bonuses listed in the Combat Attributes window.
Beaten to it Aett.. Maybe Mids and the Wiki need to show the Name as well, although that would be a huge job! -
Quote:What I don't understand is why AT modifiers aren't applied to these powers. Blasters excell at damage, it's what they do. Their top powers SHOULD outdamage the other AT's. Sure, Scrappers and Stalkers should be a close second, but Tanks shouldn't be able to generate as much. If AT modifiers were applied to the powers, you still get the cool wow factor, you still have a power that is awesome, just a blaster overkills by even more than usual.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
It comes down to the whole arguement of origins and concepts again, really.
For example, lets say that Blasters got a 'Rain of Swords' targetted AoE power, right?
Now, Angry Mac McMac the Sword Scrapper wants to use that power. But, because he's a Scrapper, he instead gets told he has to use 'Big Chop', an ST attack with some secondary effects to it.
Mac doesn't want that. He's got ST damage out the wazoo, and wants something cool and characterful that also happens to have swords in. But, by some arbitrary quirk, he can't have that.
This way, at least, there is no one who gets the concept-shaft, or anything like that. Sure, they may be a tad generic at times, but hopefully we will get more options, and at least this way no one gets something on their Tank that, really, they'd rather have to make their squishy a bit more hitty. Same for the other slot with Buffs (I don't remember which), a 'fenders power SHOULD be more effective than the blasters.
I'm in two minds about having different powers per AT, and I think I'm leaning towards Alpha's side, but I do believe the strenghts of the AT's should be applied.
