Quote:Or... it was a private league.Originally Posted by Beef_Cake
It wasn't a private raid man, it was a League Leader being a $*&%^! because people didn't want to deal with the lag on a BAF.
It's my understanding that the 'locked teams' is supposed to prevent people being added from the queue, thereby allowing people to build private leagues, but the locked teams is a bit buggy. For example, sometimes there will be someone alone on a team, and the game will lock the team without that player doing anything. And then the player can't unlock the team, and the league leader can't move them ,since their team is locked. -

Quote:... How the hell would the purple patch apply? You're hitting yourself...Originally Posted by Dispari
But anyway, it's not +25% ToHit at worst, it's 25% at minimum. Much worse after factoring in set bonuses, Tactics, Beginner's Luck, or purple patch.

It's not an automatic thing, but it's simple. Download the NCSoft Launcher, and follow instructions. I believe there are guides in the guide forum for making modifications (like a desktop shortcut that will launch the game and close the launcher, to use less memory), and to set up the launcher to work with the Test and Beta servers as well.

Quote:25% at worst. Critter base tohit is 50%, player base tohit against critters is 75%. I don't know, but it's also possible that the power is using player-attacking-player base tohit, which is 50%, meaning it would just benefit from the player's tohit/accuracy bonuses, not from the fact that it's a player.Originally Posted by Dispari
As-is, results are it has an automatic +50% hit rate along with whatever ToHit the player has.

Quote:So what? Enemies already had a collection of autohit powers, so the enemy being able to hit you through defenses isn't new. And I don't see what's wrong with a specific attack getting stronger the better the target's tohit is.Originally Posted by Vysires
It punishes character with high to-hit values and will often bypass most defenses.
The only reason I would consider the attack 'broken' is that when your Lore pet uses it, it can reduce xp/inf gain (since it's the target doing the damage, not your pet). But the same could be said of Confuse powers, and nobody calls them broken. Like I said before, it's an odd design choice, but I see nothing wrong with it.
Against an even-con enemy, Particle Burst has a certain level of power. Against enemies lower level than you, it has the same level of power. Against enemies higher level than you, it still has the same level of power. Because the strength of Particle Burst is based on you, not on the critter firing it. -

Quote:The suggestion affects recipes, not enhancements. Basically, if you wanted to get a lv33 IO, you'd have to craft it when you're lv30. Still, not the greatest of ideas, but doesn't affect existing enhancements.Originally Posted by DarkGob

Quote:That's because it's a power that's given to the target, meaning an enemy using it on you causes you to, effectively, attack yourself. It's an odd design choice, but it's not "broken".Originally Posted by Evilmeister
It looks like it's substituting the ToHit roll with the players own base ToHit + acc modifiers that they may have active through set boni for instance.
Mental Scramble (Tohit/Def/Perception debuff from high-level Tarantula Mistress) and Scramble Thoughts (Stun/Psi damage from Tarantula Queen) are both autohit.Quote:Originally Posted by Evilmeister
This falls into the same category of broken as the autohitting mez/debuff from Tarantula mistresses; I've never seen a ToHit roll being made for their version of Scramble thoughts, nor have I really seen it miss even from stuff 20 levels lower than their target - and that power packs a powerful combination of shutting down debuff toggles, -ToHit and -Defence.
Also, please -- unless you have a compelling reason -- leave the default font for your posts. -

The Doctor etc. were building a room where the Silence could not possibly listen in on them, and made sure to put the TARDIS inside while building it. The chase & capture was a charade to throw them off (and a period of time for Amy, Rory, and River to gather information about the extent of the Silence's occupation).Quote:Originally Posted by Obitus
For instance, it's not clear to me exactly what anyone gained by going through the capture charade at the beginning of part two. At first I assumed that the Silent had brainwashed the authorities against the Doctor and crew, but then it became clear that Nixon was on the Doctor's side throughout. So was it just the official-looking dudes at Area 51 who were, for no obvious reason, intent on capturing the Doctor? If so, how'd they hook up with our friend the disgraced former FBI agent? If getting Nixon to visit the top-secret base and exonerate the Doctor worked later, then why didn't the Doctor do that in the first place? For that matter, what narrative purpose was served by that bit of the episode? -
No. The popmenu options are a menu selection. When you've made your selection, the menu disappears.

Quote:Except it's not a bug; that's exactly how the power works.Originally Posted by Edana
The power deals damage unrelated to the level difference of the clockwork and the damage is attributed to the wrong person. Regardless of how weirdly the power is coded those are bugs.
In fact, it's very similar to a chain attack power, except it has a pulsing PBAoE instead of a chaining ST attack. -

For a general definition, "soft cap" means "effective cap" -- it is possible to go beyond the soft cap, but going beyond doesn't get you much more than being right at the softcap.
In the case of defense in CoH (the most common usage of the phrase), it means 45% -- critters have a base 50% chance to hit you, 45% defense will lower them to 5% (multiplied by their accuracy), and the game won't let their hit chance go any lower than that. In some cases, opponents will have a higher tohit, such as certain specific enemies and everything in the Incarnate content. In those cases, 45% isn't sufficient to floor an enemy's chance to hit you, but it's a good starting point.
Soft cap is a general term, however, and you may end up encountering someone using it to refer to the effects of Enhancement Diversification -- at approximately 95% for Schedule A enhancements (Accuracy, Damage, Endurance, Recharge, etc... the ones with 33% SOs), the effectiveness of further enhancement drops so sharply that it isn't worth your time to add more. The case is the same at about 56% for schedule B (Defense, Resistance, etc... the 20% SOs), ~112% for Interrupt, and ~168% for Knockback. -

There are a number of contacts which offer the exact same missions. However, AFAIK, it shouldn't be possible to get a pair of contacts offering the same mission.

It is. With no motivation to choose your battles carefully, the content becomes trivial. Rather than considering "What's the best way to take down that target while avoiding as many deaths as possible", a team becomes "throw people at it pouring all-out DPS until it dies. If you die, just respawn and run back in" ( aka "zerg fests" ).

Quote:[PraetorianClockwork.Android_Dismantler_Ranged.Part icle_Burst]: Autohit, grants power [PraetorianClockwork.Particle_Burst_Pet.Particle_Bu rst]Originally Posted by StrykerX
Looking at the detailed info for [Particle Burst] in game, it looks like a normal attack except for one thing: it is marked as effect area "single target" but type "AoE, Energy". So maybe it triggers an AoE off of whatever it hits and is coded somewhat like a chain power or the annoying Hamidon lightning attack?
[PraetorianClockwork.Particle_Burst_Pet.Particle_Bu rst]: Auto power, 20ft PBAoE. Scale 1 Energy damage, plus scale 0.1 Energy damage for 3.1s (0.5s period). Uses the Ranged_TempDamage table.
I don't know why it's set up this way, instead of simply being an AoE attack, but there you go. -
Quote:Holds can have fractional values; although no powers players have access to has a fractional hold, and I can't be bothered to look through the thousands of NPC powers to check for a fractional hold, it is certainly possible. However, players do have access to a fractional sleep: Mesmerize at mag 3.5. (Enough to sleep a boss.)Originally Posted by StrykerX
That means it takes a MAG 2 hold to affect players normally (technically anything above MAG 1, but holds don't have fractional values), which is pretty much any of them. With Acro added in it takes MAG 4 (again, really anything above 3.0) to hold you which does block most single holds.

Try looking at the description of the Intangibility Duration Enhancements themselves: you'll notice their effect is "Enhances Intangibility Magnitude".
