Shut up about it already. Srsly.
And I would be leeching this, but I have drill that weekend, so no assurances I'll make it in time. But trust me, if I can, I will take at least 1 of those 50 slots and be useless. -

I'm glad to hear someone else also is trying to drum up activities aswell. We are also trying to get Hami Raids back in full swing. My vision is to Hami's alternating weekends between Blu/redside. First Raid is March 6th at 8pm EST. With the caliber of players we have on Infinity we should pull it off with no hitches. Raids can go from anywheres from 30-60 minutes. Our first in a long time so we should be near the 60 mark. Due to the explanation of attack and what not. So I guess what I'm getting to is...Can we count on Taxi's to fullfill the support role in the Hamis. It would be great to have you all there!! Thanks for what you all do! To support not only the game but players aswell. Good Hunting......Wolf-ire
Shut. The. ****. Up.
Gods above and below, Wolf-ire, you're worse than ******* Hercuies.
*will attempt to leech/grief Hami raid now* -

Quote:Is it still bugged and not working when exemplared? *did not fire once during an Exemped Citadel TF, Lvl 38 MA/Inv, lvl 30 IO*Originally Posted by Kahlan_
Just tested this last night:
lvl 50 ss/wp brute with 85% global recharge, 3 slotted hasten, and the force feedback proc in footstomp. I used a mission where I could activate foot stomp as soon as it recharged and always have max targets. The proc went off on the majority of foot stomps, and allowed me to have permahasten. -
So what about it in Dragon's Tail? Tried asking this on the Scrapper boards with no response.
I had it slotted in there (level 30 IO), and during a Citadel TF I failed to see it proc once. I was monitoring +Recharge through Combat Attributes, and regularly fired it off with the target cap around me (MA/Inv, saturated Invinc). I can recall at least 10 trials, not once ever seeing it affect me.
What are the odds of it proc'ing as the amount of targets increase? Also, I know DT only has a chance (50% IIRC) for KD, does the Proc require a check offa KB/KD effect, or just off a successful ToHit roll? -
Quote:It is still 5 seconds that I 'should' notice something in my Combat Attributes, especially when I remember to look straight at it each time I fire off Dragon's Tail. *shrug*Originally Posted by Biospark
Errant, I have not ever used this proc, but looking at it I would guess its alot like the Gaussian's buildup proc, which only lasts for 5 sec. Thats a very small amount of time to notice the effect and I doubt it does a whole lot anyway. If I wasnt going for set bonuses, my instinct would be to skip the proc.
I am not an expert, so hopefully someone else will chime in for you. -

what a sad, sorry soul you must be, eran, to seek pleasure in the discomfiture of others. what you laud as "snark and style" is really naught but small-minded meaness. all you have exposed is your own unwarranted prejudice.
i've met many people such as you in my life, eran. you're all too common, you who eat and breathe negativity because you have nothing positive to offer. you who seek to provoke and undermine others to feed your own pitiable need for some sense of superiority. i've realized that it's generally a waste of energy to engage such as you at all. it's better to simply smile and walk away. would that there were a "global ignore" on forums...
Personally for you: Nope.
I say again, since you missed it the first time, "I just enjoy exposing stupidity. There could be a correlation as to why I have a tendency to follow you in posting..." Or in plainer speech; I mock ignorance. You tend to be ignorant. So, I wind up mocking you.
Oh, and to enlighten your ignorance, since that's generally my goal via the barbs, there is a "global ignore" feature on the boards.
However, ifn' you are so thin-skinned that you need the boards software (and the game chat software) to ignore me, I guess I really should stop kicking the puppy. He's not learning anything. *shrug* Have fun, Hercuies!

Shamless bump. My search fu failed me on an answer regarding the Proc, and that's the more important question.

First off, I've got this fun MA/Inv scrapper up to level 39. He hemorrhages Endurance, but I enjoy him, and expect that the build I have planned for him will fix that (see below). However, I'm curious over one thing... I had the Force Feedback proc (lvl 30) slotted into Dragon's Tail for several levels now, and have failed to see it trigger once. Just ran a Citadel TF, and watched my Combat Attributes:Recharge, and never saw the +100%, despite multiple DT's in the middle of saturated Invinc. Is it bugged, or wonky, or am I just missing it?
Also, here's the build... toon started off going for massive recharge and Perma-DP, but I found I dinnae like relying on AS to keep me alive, so I rotated it to +Def build, and am much happier with performance (aside from the end issues, not crippling, but I eat blues faster than greens). So of course, feedback on it, and tips/tweaks would be welcomed. Bear in mind, character is only 39, and the only IO's so far are in all attacks and Focus Chi, just respec'd out my place-holder 35 SO's in the rest of the slots, and am marketing for the rest.

Quote:TLDR version - I can't hear or understand you from my high horse... nyah nyah nyah!!! Did I read that correctly, Umbral? (and argument tip... quote my own words at me, not someone else's... Tiny Bolt != Errant. It'll make your argument seem a little stronger, and it needs all the help it can get)Originally Posted by Umbral
We're not talking about parity generation at all. You specifically said
The only content (i.e. mishes) that were added were exclusively redside. That's an entire issue in which all of the content was for villains. It doesn't matter if it was done for whatever reason. It still stands as a villain only content issue.
Except that it was done as such because heroes (which formed and still form a substantially larger portion of the population) complained about villains getting absolutely everything that issue. Heroes got all of the similar functions because villains got all of it the previous issue.
Except that we're not comparing content that came out before CoV did. Issue 3 was released when all development effort was being directed towards CoH. Comparing issues after the release of CoV to those before is simply putting up a smokescreen to the fact that, yes, there was, in fact, a development disparity that favored villains.
So now you're complaining about the fact that vills got much more complex and developer intensive content as opposed to the rather simple tank-and-spank that heroes got? So the devs favor heroes because they give us simple stuff that only requires math in order to find balance for as opposed to one that requires a decent amount of coding and substantially more internal testing? As to the times, aren't villains always complaining about having SFs that are too short? Are you even listening to yourself?
Except that, in order to "catch up" to the 5 issue lead that heroes have over villains using your 3/1 development effort split, the next year would have to be heavily villain preferential. Considering that a majority of the players of the game are blueside, you're going to be spending more money on fewer people because one of the two games has been out longer. Rather than spending effort equally, which still ends up meaning that, on a per player basis, villains are getting more spend on them, you want to overturn that completely and risk losing blueside players that are pissed off that the developers aren't paying attention to them?
Please, stop the whole "I'm a villain, the devs hate us, we're the victims" bull-**** and realize that just because your game came much later doesn't mean that the devs have to play catch up to make sure that everything is equivalent. CoV and CoH are the same game mechanically. From a content standpoint, they're completely separate: CoH is a game that's been out for the last 5 years, CoV is a game that's been out for 3 and a half. The devs don't need to prefer villains just because heroes were lucky enough to be the first game generated.
I was comparing Pre-CoV to current times, because when you start segregating the games as such, you have to look at the imbalances created and when they happened. But I appreciate you correcting yourself, on I7, changing it from a "villain-exclusive" to "villain-content exclusive". I'd admonish you again, that I7 made CoV even with CoH, making level caps even, introducing PPPs, and tossing in missions to allow leveling up to cap (and it placed CoV briefly ahead? with Mayhems), but much like the screaming hoards then (who I ignored/forgot about, much like a screaming 2 year-old throwing a tantrum), you can't seem to grasp that CoV was released as INCOMPLETE, compared to where CoH was.
Ah well.
And I ain't a CoV player (just counted 18 Villains - 4 50 - vice 21 Heroes - 8 50.), hell, CoV has an AT I cannae even stand to team with, let alone play. I play City, both red and blue, and would just appreciate parity between the two. I want CoV harder and newer mobs to come blue-side, while red-side gets SFs for 10-15, 23-28, 25-30, 30-34, and 30-35 ranges. I want the more streamlined mission structure, quicker contact cell access, and lack of non-story fluff missions that CoV has brought over to CoH. I want a common market - there's no coherent reason to keeping them seperate, it's all blind bids anyhow... you CAN'T know, without excessive planning, where your purchases came from.
We'll see if I get any of that... The game is still fun, just it has the potential to be moreso.
And sorry about arguing on the internet with ya, I forgot what happens when ya do that. Have fun!

Quote:Wrong.Originally Posted by Umbral
The first patch after CoV came out was exclusively villain content. The issue after that was hero centric thanks to the incredible backlash that ensued from developing preferentially.
I7: Destiny Manifest
Doesn't look like a Villain exclusive issue to me... granted, it was weighted towards CoV, but with the exception of Mayhem Missions, it was all to bring CoV to closer parity with CoH.Quote:-New high level zones (Grandville [CoV], Recluse's Victory [PvP])
-Villain level cap raised to 40
-Mayhem Missions
-Patron Pools
-New Power Sets (Brute Elec Melee, Brute Elec Armor, MM Thugs, Stalker Dark Melee, Stalker Dark Armor)
-New Base Features (CoH/V)
-New Quality of Life Features (CoH/V)
-CoH Art Upgrades (CoH gained CoV level graphics)
And then your "Hero-Exclusive" issue because of backlash...
I8: To Protect and Serve
Seems more like it just brought back the old imbalance of CoH having more content than CoV (or just gave Heroes everything Villains had just gotten), not really some developer panic reaction to "backlash"...Quote:-Safeguard Missions (CoH)
-Police Scanner (CoH)
-Faultline Reborn (CoH)
-Pocket D Arenas (PvP, CoH/V)
-Veteran Rewards (CoH/V)
Issue 12: The Midnight Hour, bringing Cimeroa and VEATS, with the VEAT-only contacts. Yup, seems like a red-side disparity again... waitaminnit, looks like CoH got all that back in I3: A Council of War, as well as gaining a new zone, mission tree, and 2 TF's. So, again, red-side falls short.
And regarding your statement on the new 5th Column TF... Khan's can be run in about 45 minutes with a good team, whereas I've yet to hear of consistent times below 90 minutes for Barracuda. And aren't both Barracuda and Lord Recluse's SFs still bugged? Wait, I shouldn't ask you, you're a blue side player.
Anyhow, CoV players are not asking for the world, just a little parity, and catching up to that 5 issue lead CoH has.
While I'm ********, though, hey Devs! When are ya'll gonna bring the new mobs from CoV over to CoH? Can't wait to go scrapperlock on my teammates when a Succubus confuses me... ^_^ -
I have a very nice SG and base already, but am always willing for teammates. "@Is Errant" is my redside account, feel free to drop a line whenever.

Okay, so I'm out until I level up a useful toon. -
It's not a risk vs. reward, but more time invested for return.
Counting getting EoE's, setting up, and then actually raiding, there's far better ways for me to spend my time to get the HO/merits.
