Quote:It doesn't mean he is, either. Not every dead person is hanging around as a super hero (or hanging around at all) in the CoH universe. Thousands of heroes died during the First Rikti War, but you don't see them crowding Atlas Park, do you?Originally Posted by Dolphin
True, but that doesn't mean he's not floating around and doing something... does it?
Besides, I think they said that Marcus killed Stephan before Stephan drank from the Well, so Stephan would have never gotten his powers. Both War Witch and Ghost Widow were super people before death. -
Quote:We may have gone there first, but they're the ones that want to actually invade.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Well, we knew almost nothing about their world before. Anyway, didn't we find them? And then start nosing around? Sounds like we're the invading bad guys.
We're Stargate Command, they're the Goa'uld.

Quote:Well, Spark Blade and Rose Star don't exist in the game yet (two members of W.I.S.D.O.M., a group of heroes led by Foreshadow, the trainer in the Hollows. Mirror Spirit, the trainer in Faultline, is also a member of W.I.S.D.O.M.). Malaise exists in the game, but he's not a contact of any sort (Malaise is a member of the Vindicators, led by Ms Liberty, though Malaise has switched between being a villain and being a hero on several occasions*).Originally Posted by Wicked_Wendy
every signature hero either trains or is a contact now as it is.. may need to create a contact for this.....
* Then again, Foreshadow reincarnates every time he dies, and switches sides when he reincarnates. And he's the Hollows trainer. -
Quote:There's nothing said otherwise. But in all the discussion about the Resistance and whatnot, no mention of Recluse is made (though they do mention Belladona Vetrano as a part of the Resistance, which was Ghost Widow's name before she died). And when we asked what Praetorian Recluse is up to, they told us that Marcus killed Stephan at the Well. Full Stop.Originally Posted by Dolphin
What says that Praetorian Recluse isn't an active ghost?
I have yet to see anything that says otherwise. -
If you want divine wind, I'd recommend Storm Summoning paired with either Energy Blast or Radiation Blast, with the blast set colored gold/white.

Quote:Perhaps I wasn't clear. When you reach 24, you respec. If you respec after 24, yes, you start at 1. But when you get to 24 during the respec process, it starts over, just like if you were leveling up.Originally Posted by Roderick
No. VEAT respecs at any level always start at level 1, and if they are done at 24 or later, allow you to choose your path; even if it's a different one from the original choice.

1. Since when has being dead stopped CoH characters from offering missions? (See: Eden Trial, Kelly Nemmers in Croatoa, and if you look at it from the perspective of 'modern day', all of Cimerora)
2. If being a lead dev means you get a TF, why isn't there a BAB TF? What about Ghost Widow? A pohsyb TF? Castle TF? -

Quote:When you first reach 24 on a SoA, you're forced to respec. IIRC, when you perform a normal respec on a SoA, the respec process starts over at 24. But then, I've only respecced on a SoA once, and that was some time ago, so my memory may be faulty.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
Once you reach 24, you are given a free respec. As far as I am aware, you have to actually perform a respec for it to unlock the other categories.
I only have one 24+(lvl50) VEAT, but it worked just fine when I respec'd at 24. -

Isn't the Julia set intrensically connected with Mandelbrot because of the Julia islands that show up?

Quote:Hamidon, as we know him, is a gigantic single cell. Unless our Hamidon is capable of turning into something other than a single-celled organism, or the Praetorian Hamidon is something else (which he may be), he can't merge with a host.Originally Posted by EU_Damz
Quick lore question. Is it possible for parts of the hami to "fuse" with a human host? ala romulus style?

Quote:Well, for one thing, I can't think of of any build which can reach the resistance cap without using IOs (or a teammate's buff); Granite Armor + Tough on a Tanker will get you there for S/L, but nothing else. It's entirely possible to reach the defense softcap without a single IO at all. Just as proof-of-concept, not an actual build:Originally Posted by Sailboat
But...reverse that line of thought. Right now resistance-only sets, designed to be tough enough without any defense, can get to the defense soft cap using IOs. Surely a high resistance build at the softcap is not in essence different from a soft-capped build with high resistance. If anything, the lower resistance cap (75%) for most ATs would make it LESS overpowered to be able to pump up your resistance -- 75% resistance is not as strong as 45% defense, which you can already get.

There's also the issue that Damage Resistance resists Damage Resistance debuffs, while you need Defense Resistance in order to resist Defense Debuffs. While Defense enhancements also enhance Defense Resistance, the power must have Defense Resistance in the first place, which is only true for powers in Defense-oriented armor sets. It're really easy to debuff someone who's reached 45% def via set bonuses, but someone who has reached 75% resistance via set bonuses will ignore 75% of a resistance debuff. -
Yeah, and I doubt we'll get another Cyborg-themed Super Booster pack. We may get another Technology Super Booster, but we've already got Cyborg.

Quote:Kheldians' base HP is tied with Corruptors and SoA, beating Controllers, Defenders, Dominators, and Masterminds outright. They're only a little bit behind Blasters and Stalkers (about 1 hit from your average minion). The Kheldians' HP cap is tied with Scrappers and SoA, and is the second-highest HP cap in the game (only behind Brutes/Tankers).Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
They have barely any hit points
Of course, this problem is shared by Defenders (unless they're Dark Miasma post-32) and to some extent, Tankers.Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow

Quote:Or even something simple like the Koch Curve/Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, or the Devil's Staircase.Originally Posted by GuyPerfect
This is true of all fractals; hardly unique to the Mandelbrot Set. See Julia Set and Weierstrass Function for more info.
What I think is interesting about fractals is that they're fixed points of iterated function systems. The Sierpinski Triangle is normally rendered as a set of triangles within triangles to form:
But it doesn't really matter what you start with. So long as you do enough iterations, the fractal still looks the same.
Using the same IFS as in the first image, I can make the Sierpinski Triangle using...
