IIRC, the buff pets come with 45% AoE defense, and -1000% resistance to all (and, like... 1 hit point).

No.
I do turn hide on in a PvP zone, or when I'm doing something where I don't want to be disturbed at all (such as recording demos).
It's called staying inside. But you should know, There Is Life Outside Your Apartment! -
Quote:Incorrect; Damage Resistance is the resistance to both -res and -dam.Edit: It looks like there is indeed no resistance to -damage or -res! Huzzah!
(Note that despite the fact that res resists -res, a -X% res debuff still causes you to deal +X% more damage) -
Rock and Crystal DE similarly are weak to smashing damage, but resist lethal. On the other hand, the Plant and Mushroom DE are weak to lethal, but resist smashing.

Quote:I disagree. Five DO-strength Dam/Rech enhancements (with damage proc or KD proc) usable from level 1 to 21? For free? That don't need replacing? Sign me upIMO, those "enhancements" are only good for new players. They don't really provide much to Vets. Plus, every character you make will get them. That's 5 of your 10 enhancement inventory used up at character creation.
Slot them into your first few powers and then just overwrite them with SOs/IOs at 22 (or DOs if you buy those) -

Quote:Well, it works exactly like the player version used toThe stacking vengeance is indeed cheap, namely because it just works far too differently from the player version.
(Okay, not 100% exactly. The player version used to be usable while you're dead, the Nemesis version activates on death. But the player version could be activated multiple times, and a player could conceivably activate it immediately on dying.)
Also, if Nemesis Vengeance worked like the player versions, you'd be even more screwed. Right now, it only happens with a lieutenant dies. If they had our version, you'd get it when anything Nemesis died, so long as a lieutenant was standing. -

This applies to every "Stop X from escaping!" mission. Especially when they spawn close to an elevator. -
Ever listen to the radio and think, "Hey, that's just like a mission from ______!" or "I wonder if ______ likes this song?"
On my way home today I got hit by it. I was curious who else gets it from time to time.

Quote:That's kind of a semantic argument there. By the same token, I can define damage as being an absolute effect, and say Taunt effects deal Taunt damage. After all, both healing and damage* are absolute effects (as opposed to current, maximum, strength, or resistance effects), and once you get down to the level of analyzing individual power effects, there is nothing else really differentiating them.all the Heals in the game are attacks that do damage of a special type to you, but a negative amount...
Of course, by this definition, other things are special kinds of damage, too: debt protection, PvP endurance drain, toggle dropping, and IO procs (not just damage procs; this includes Achilles Heel, Absolute Amazement, Analyze Weakness, Coercive Persuasion, Dark Watcher's Despair, Decimation, Force Feedback, etc).
Also, since knockback is a current effect and yet it breaks sleep just like the absolute damage and the damage heals, we have a problem with both of our definitions of 'damage'. Honestly, I think it's safer just to consider healing and damage separate, realize there are multiple things which can break a sleep, and not get into the effect classifications, which most hardcore players haven't even heard of.
* Actually, not all damage is an absolute effect. Backdraft (the attack used by the Steel Canyon burning building when it explodes), uses a current effect. This is how the damage it deals is always a specific multiple of your maximum HP. -

If you don't enjoy CoH, why would it matter whether things transfer over? If you do enjoy CoH, why let your subscription lapse? If you have no choice but to let your subscription lapse for financial reasons, why ask the question?

Quote:Totally agree. I don't think it'd be an issue if the window would just stick where the player puts it. Like all the other windows in the game. I like to hope it's just a bug that hasn't been fixed; if it's intentional, it's moronic."Trial Account - Buy Full Version" window/button that floats in the center of the screen. Yes tou can move it, but as soon as you load a new zone/instance it pops right back to the center of the screen. Drives me nuts.
I may have joined long before the trial account restrictions were put in place, but that doesn't mean I can't look at them and see problems.
Another big issue I see is that there is no means for trial account players to reply to tells, so when a team leader is polite and sends a /tell before inviting to the team, the trial player can't respond, and the team leader assumes you're AFK.
Also, trial players can't create teams, no matter the circumstances. Not even with other trial players. There have been several cases where a couple or a group of friends get trial accounts together, but are unable to team together when they get in the game, because none of them can create the team. The only way they can team is if they get an extra player to invite all of them, and then quit; god forbid if someone disconnects. -

You can get into a lot of trouble reading emotion into text. For my input, though, if I write a trailing elipsis, I'm generally intending to convey the sentence trailing off without ending properly. If someone read my intent correctly, the sentence might come off as aloof.
I dunno where they got "hostile" from, though. His exclamation mark is much more hostile than a cute little elipsis -
