You all were right, thanks to you. I get a new bunch of servers with low latency in the US thanks to your dedication. Again, you were right !

You seem fixated on the numbers and what the results should be, rather than what they really are. Latency be damned, my game runs smoother than ever. I'm happy. -
Quote:True.. I did know that, but always forget cos of the way it appears to work.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
You are right and wrong. The + will certainly run the command both on keypress and keyrelease, but you might have the mechanics wrong. Despite popular belief, commands are always read from left to right. The reason toggleon binds in a string are activated from right to left on each press is because the next execution interrupts the previous one. That makes it appear that it's reading the command from right to left, when it's really not.
The command will still try to activate Hibernate every time, but as mentioned, it will fail every time there is a Respite still in the tray because it will instantly interrupt the Hibernate. When there is no Respite left, the final execution command can't run, and wont interrupt the Hibernate, meaning the bind he used might still work.. but only if there is just a single Respite in the tray.

Quote:The reason this won't work is the + at the start runs the whole bind on press and release. It works for toggles as you use toggel on and if it's on it skips to the next bit. This will look for respite every time and if it finds one stop. If it doesn't it will probably then activate hibernate.Originally Posted by all_hell

I use a variation to turn on all my toggles
I think you may be able to use something else thats shorter than my prefix, but I forget what it is.
Some patch broke the shorter version and UI havent checked to see if it's been fixed -

And that is exactly how I went thru and set up my lower level characters, and on my 50's I pulled the ones I needed off the builds so I don't lose anything when I tweak their builds to make room for the 4 new power choices they'll have.

Quote:Maybe not meant to be, but should be. I think this would be a better idea (although probably more work code wise, but while your in there right....) than having it apply across the entire costume.Originally Posted by SkarmoryThePG
I believe the Swap option is meant to be per-piece.
So, if you Swap your Blue and White chest, it becomes White and Blue. Once you change your entire costume's colors from Blue and White to Blue and Yellow, the chest is still swapped from that scheme and is now Yellow and Blue. -
Quote:Ummm Gilia...Originally Posted by Gilia
If you're playing a Blaster, you already do. The speed went up in i18, and it's coming a bit down in i19. Blasters only got a 33% increase in i18 though, which is what every other AT is being brought down to.
Strangely enough, I actually noticed that my Blasters were the only ones not at speed cap w/o enhancements.
Feel free to look this gift horse in the mouth. Fly's base cost is 1 e/s, while Raptor Pack's is 0.19 e/s. Even enhanced, Fly will cost more.
In regards to the OP, I'm glad for the change. Most of my characters with "real" travel powers use Fly.
Quote:Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Actually.... there's been a change.
The 50% buff is staying and Blasters will be 'fixed' to match that.
Not joking. Wish I was. Fly will now only have nominal benefits (less End, e.g.) over Temp Fly powers making Fly an easily dumped power on any tight build. That's not a good 'balance' with regard with regard to game mechanics.
The I18 Patch Notes that says 50% buff stands as being correct.
(And since this is often a point of confusion, remember, this is a buff to the *base* speed, not to the cap. This buff to the *base* speed, however, causes everyone to hit the cap. Suggesting that the *cap* be raised is regarded as a non-starter.) -

Have a look at the link in my Sig for an Option Menu for doing this. You can hide not only Auto Powers, but Toggles too which is a great help I found.
A quick and dirty Macro version for doing it across the board :
/macro HideAll "optionset buffsettings 1052688"
/macro ShowAll "optionset buffsettings 0"
I think that should do it, all you should then see are non-auto Buffs with a duration on them.
I haven't found a way to just show buffs you have applied though. -
Very cool. Only thing I would say is Prime needs blue gloves.

Quote:Unfortunatly I don't believe there is. I was thinking much the same thing the other day, I would like to be able to track only MY buffs on teammates.Originally Posted by jacktar
Is there anyway I can hide all buff icons except the SB one, or any combinations I may want to see? Ideally I would like to reduce the Buff Lines to one or two icons.

With these goals their only directive, it is no surprise that Wyvern agents often resort to illegal and perhaps questionable actions to fulfill their one true desire the ultimate destruction of evil. -
Quote:Of course.. if they aren't level 50 then you can just add the slots next time you level.Originally Posted by Madadh
I'd wait in most cases. If you respec now, you won't be able to slot fitness powers at all. If you expect the build to only need or want 1 slot in fitness powers, then I guess go ahead.
Of course, as a previous poster said, if you really rarely play them, and they work OK now, no real need to respec at all...

Quote:I don't know why people are being down on Championess for this. I totally back this. Anything for another 15 days peace.Originally Posted by Championess
Since we're in the mood for postponing things, can you guys please postpone my re-bill by 15 days? I only re-subbed just this past weekend in hopes that all of the stuff I was looking forward to when I purchased GR was on the time-table for this week. Now you say that you have to postpone what I have been looking forward to since I bought GR some more? Fair enough, postpone my re-bill while your at it to account for the 15 days that I won't be playing this in the meantime.
As for the Devs decision. Dissapointed it's not here but glad they are getting it right. Keep up the high standards. -
Quote:Totally. As All Hell said above really. It tends to depend on the value to me. Over 10k... I'll bid creep or wait for a while. Under that I'll just pay really. Don't have billions (or even 1 billion probably) but I do have enough to support my habit.Originally Posted by SwellGuy
Keep in mind what I posted a flipper could do or a patient buyer/seller could also do it.
Flippers make their inf off the impatience of others.
Three plus years ago I had to be patient on every move because I didn't have more than 20 million influence among all my characters but now I have more than 7 billion so I can afford to buy/sell it NAO because my characters make enough even selling at lower prices to afford buying at higher prices. -
Quote:Right, that makes some sense to me. However, to bid over the lowball bids you have to know what they are and if they aren't in the last 5 you are guessing. If it's a low value item (most whites) I have no problem with that. If it's a higer value item I tend to post a higher value on it, although probably still lower than the lowballers.Originally Posted by Lohenien
No flippers buy low and sell at normal prices.
Manipulators buy low and list higher than normal prices.
Listing at 1 or some low value like that will immediately sell to the highest bidder - that IS correct. The part you are missing is that at any given time the highest bidder is very likely to be a lowballer with outstanding bids much lower than the last 5.
If someone instead listed at 600-700k (any value will do as long as it's above the lowball bids and below the going rate) then people could bid creep up to 600k and get the salvage for much less than 1.2-2m.
This won't happen because people are lazy and don't bid creep. That's what happens when the majority of players have play money that prints itself.
K, that makes sense to me. So a flipper doesn't immediatly flip, but waits for demand to go up. Makes sense to me. And if they are willing to hold my item for me untill I need it I'm ok paying them a small fee for storage.Quote:Originally Posted by SwellGuy
Yep. Three plus years ago when we were discussing this the term applied was "temporal arbitrage" where we buy during the surplus low price times and sell during the drought low supply high demand times that occur naturally over the course of a week.
This led to numerous thread derailments over the technical meaning of arbitrage and much arguing completely ignoring the reality of what was being explained to people. Patient bidding/selling saves/makes inf.

Quote:I'm confused by this, and by extension how flipping works I guess. Surely if I list something at 1 inf then the person who is bidding the most will get it, not someone lowballing.Originally Posted by Lohenien
By listing at such a low price you are tossing away supply to the immediate buyers that are lowballing things at prices that are way too low usually. They will turn around and flip it up to normal prices. If you priced between those two points - then people could buy at lower than going rates and above flipper prices. This would have a normalizing effect on price over time, if enough people participated in that niche.
Which leads me to wonder how flipping works. The flipper buys it and relists it higher than he paid for it? This can only work on markets with low supply right? And the flipper would have to buy up a good portion of it? -
Quote:Pretty sure it was showing the 37.5 muber. Just checked and it's giving me AoE 39.4% and 5.6% for everything else bar Psi. Which doesn't match the power description.Originally Posted by Gilia
The default is actually the "while in combat" number: 1.88%.
The unsuppressed, hidden, out of combat numbers are: 3.75% Melee and Ranged and 37.5% AoE Defense.
Is it showing 37.5% or 1.88% AoE Defense (note it will round in totals up to 1.9%)?
The version I'm using at work has Leo's I19 patch so I'll check on the native version at home tonight and see what I get. -
You need to use powexectoggleon not powexec_name as that just changes the state of a toggle. Hence the turning off.
-
I was doing a build for a stalker but noticed I couldn't find a way to show the hide defence stats while in combat. If I turn it on I get the hidden stats which aren't a huge help really cos it's my combat defence I need to check. Is there anyway to check this, or do I just need to check the numbers in game and add them on?
-
It's a habit I have too. I list almost everything at 10inf. Sells quicker that way and I tend to have enough money to go around.

Quote:Ahh, thats how I read the quoted text and agree. I can't see it being allowed to be opened at 50, defies the point, but allowing it to exemplar could be fun.Originally Posted by Winterminal
I don't think that is what will happen, considering this has all been advertised "end-game" content i.e. once you've reached 50, while there is plenty of stuff still there to do (unfinished task forces, plenty of 45-50 arcs, AE content never gets "out-leveled"), there is really no forward progress in terms of "becoming a greater hero." (Excluding IO sets, but the Devs have always advertised IOs as an optional part of the game in which someone should not feel they have to participate in order to be super.)
What I believe they meant is that once a lvl 50 character unlocks the Alpha Slot and gets an ability in there, and then they exemp down, the player can exemp as far down as 45 without losing their Incarnate abilities, similar to how IO set bonuses disappear when you exemp down more than three levels below the level of the enhancement. However, I do not think we'll get access to incarnate content until level 50.
