Well, Nosferatu has two Mind Control powers (Psionic_Attack vector only), and he's got Chill of the Night (autohit damage and -tohit)

You playing the game doesn't produce value except to yourself, so externally, the value is zero.

Quote:I think they're in the wrong order. Strike gives +tohit and a special bonus after you use Block... but it's not possible to have Block when you get Strike.Originally Posted by Twilight_Snow
I think these two powers are the new thing, and they look quite good and thematic for stalkers. I think they are interesting variation of the original powers.

No, I think MondoCool hit the nail pretty much on the head there. You have 24 powers, several of which will likely be toggles or autos. You could theoretically have 5 veteran powers that you might use during combat (though one is a pet summon), but by the time you have 24 powers (lv49) those are largely ineffective anyway (no slots).
If you're going to try and count temporary powers, I think there are only 2 in-combat temporary powers which don't eventually go away: one is your origin power, and the other is the Snake-B-Gone you get from Terrence Dobbs in Grandville (mag 5 stun to Snakes except the AV Stheno, and instant kill to Snake Eggs)
While it's possible to fill all 24 powers with clicks, you'd have to be trying, and such a build would be ridiculous. -
Quote:Well, the Rikti mothership in White Plains (which then became the Rikti Crash Site, which later became the Rikti War Zone) was put there by Statesman single-handed...Originally Posted by Steampunkette
But what has he done to be a Hero?
"He fought in the Rikti War but wasn't on the Omega Team and certainly didn't die for the sake of others unlike Galaxy Girl, Atlas, or most of the Omega Team! But he's a Hero!"
Of course, that makes one wonder why he didn't destroy the other motherships.
Have you actually done the STF? The Web leeches the power from other superhumans and feeds that power to Lord Recluse.Quote:Originally Posted by Steampunkette
That can be what the giant web is doing! Calling down the Shivans. Statesman finds out and goes after Recluse while the heroes and villains are fighting against the Shivvies. -

Quote:No, someone like that they'd simply ban from the beta. And once banned from the beta, they are no longer in good standingOriginally Posted by Golden Girl
I think it's just a vague term to allow them to exclude people from the closed beta who would otherwise qualify for it - for example, a 5 year vet is entitled to a closed beta invite under the requirements they set out, but if there's a 5 year vet who's disruptive or constantly negative or aggressive towards other posters or the devs, or just generally thought to be an unsuitable beta tester for whatever reason, then they'd be unlikely to be allowed in.

Quote:This is... almost entirely wrong. The only thing correct is "acc is easier to get".Originally Posted by Captain_Freak
+tohit is a multiplier where +acc is an addition. If you have terrible ACC then the multiplier is going to do you very little good (but better than nothing). I believe but not sure that acc is easier to get but gets killed in certain other situations where +tohit becomes godly. For the most part building a little of both or an extreme of both will get you farther than just one or the other.
- Accuracy is the multiplier, not ToHit.
- Accuracy cannot be killed, since there are no -Acc debuffs; every power which claims to debuff Accuracy is actually debuffing ToHit.
- If ToHit is debuffed, Accuracy doesn't help. And since there isn't anything that debuffs Acc, and ToHit is already the more effective of the two...
- [Base ToHit] + [ToHit Buffs] - [ToHit Debuffs] - [Target Defense]: if this sum is at 0.95 (95%), more ToHit is no longer effective. Base ToHit is 0.75 against +0 critters, 0.39 against +4 critters. Unless you're being hit by -ToHit or the target has +Defense, you're never going to need more than +0.56 ToHit.
- [Power Accuracy] * [1.0 + Accuracy Enhancements + Accuracy Bonuses] * [Net ToHit] is the final chance to hit for the attack, and it cannot exceed 0.95 (95%). Many powers have 1.0 Accuracy (thus without any +Acc, the chance to hit will equal the ToHit), and few powers outside of AoE controls have less than 1.0. And, if the final value exceeds 0.9 (90%), the worst you can do is hit with every other attack, due to the streakbreaker.

Quote:Sure, they might stack... if it were possible to put more than one on your character at allOriginally Posted by StormDevil
Pretty much what it says; just wondering if you can get "full invisibility" by stacking, say, the Celerity and Unbounded Leap IOs. I'm assuming "nuh uh", but figured I'd ask anywho.

Quote:Technically, Dimension Shift and Black Hole are foe Intangible powers, while Detention Field and Sonic Cage are foe Untouchable/AffectingSelf powers. Similar effects as perceived by the player, but different in the game mechanics.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
You're forgetting the intangible powers in Force Field and Sonic.

Quote:I think it's more likely that you'd need to be "overpowered or on a team of 25" to complete the Incarnate content, than that you need it to earn the Incarnate levels. If it wasn't hard, why do you need more power? And if you don't have the extra power, why does it need to be extra hard? That's my view, at any rate; it's like normal leveling: you do normal stuff to gain more power, so that you can achieve the harder stuff.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I just hope I won't need to be overpowered or on a team of 25 in order to so much as sniff the Incarnate system. That would piss me off like you wouldn't believe.

Quote:Scrappers and Blasters (Heroes) and Brutes (Villains) are probably the simplest to learn how to play. You start with 12 character slots per server, and you can purchase more, up to 36 per server (that's including the 12 you start with). You also get a free character slot token for every year you've had an active subscription.Originally Posted by RAZZLETAZZLE
Thank for the website! Really helpful and just wondering if there's a beginner friendly class and is there a limit to how many characters you can make?

Quote:I didn't realize 6% ToHit (using a power and an expensive, unique enhancement) was better than 6% ToHit (using a costly toggle and a +0 SO enhancement)Originally Posted by Doctor_Kumquat
In short? No. At least, not when you can get better results with IOs anyway

Quote:Valkyrie costume pieces are not part of a digital distribution only extras pack, unlike the Super Booster series and the Wedding Pack. The Valkyrie costume parts come with the Mac Special Edition release of the game -- there's just an upgrade pack you can purchase, just like the GvE goodies pack and similar to the Hero Gear Kits (see: CoH CE) that were available at HeroCon.Originally Posted by mousedroid
The Booster Packs - Natural, Science, Technology, Magic, Wedding, and Valkyrie
...
There are also some costume pieces available only through various editions of the game - Good vs. Evil, City of Heroes Collector's Edition, and City of Villains Collector's Edition. -
The flight speed cap has always been the same, I don't know why you saw something higher in Mids'. You may have been misinterpreting the display, since Mids' tells you both your flight speed as if there were no cap, and what it's been capped to.
Most (all?) flight powers have a speed debuff as well as a buff. Because the debuff is written to not be affected by enhancements, this means that each flight enhancement you add is more beneficial to your overall speed than it otherwise would have been, without making the base speed too high. -
1. Here's a list (along with other, non-power suggestions), though I don't believe it's entirely up-to-date
2. I wouldn't say so. This year we're getting 4 new sets by July, and I believe we've gone a full year without getting a single one. It varies.
