No, the game executes binds as fast as it can, from left to right. If you have several powers in the bind, though, it ends up actually activating the last power first, since the power queueing skipped the previous ones.

The exception applies to all true EBs. Most EBs you encounter are scaled-down AVs, but some are naturally EB.

TECHNICALLY the rule isn't "same name" and TECHNICALLY two bonuses with the same name could have different values, but in-game this isn't true of any existing set.

Set bonuses are powers, which are set up so that you can't have more than 5 of the same one. The name of the power is independent of the bonus it gives (easily seen with LotG's +7.5% rech, and the Huge Recharge Bonus +7.5% rech), so two set bonuses could theoretically be given the same name but different effects. In practice, this does not happen.

It would be slightly more complicated, but two different set bonuses could be set up so that a combination of the two that sums up to 5 total would be the restriction, not 5 of each. In practice, this doesn't happen.

Similarly, TECHNICALLY you could have a set bonus which you're restricted to 1 copy of, or a set bonus that allows you to have 20 copies of. In practice, this doesn't happen.

This difference between what the powers system can do and what the powers system does do is so that players can understand what's going on without checking an entire database of information. For a similar reason, Hold enhancements always increase the duration of the hold. But there's nothing stopping the powers system from making Hold enhancements increase magnitude, instead.

Even if you take an objective viewpoint, Calvin Scott is a raging sociopath.

Sociopathy is essentially psychopathy, except that it's caused by environmental factors (eg, losing your wife). For a professional's description of psychopathy: This is a perfect description of Calvin Scott. While I doubt there's much sexual intercourse involved in Scott's quest to get his wife back, he is absolutely using charisma, manipulation, and/or intimidation to get people to join his Resistance, and he's using violence against the Praetorian utopia to vent his anger. And regaining his wife is absolutely a selfish goal; he doesn't care what happens to Tyrant or any of the praetors. In fact, if they gave him his wife back, he'd probably return to being a loyal citizen.

Scott doesn't care how much collateral damage he creates pursuing his wife. He doesn't care how far away from the societal standards of Praetoria he strays. He has no guilt about it. He won't shed a tear about any of it.

Calvin Scott is a textbook sociopath.

Can I have a villainous Nictus arc open only to Warshades, and be allowed to start Warshades in the Rogue Isles instead of just Paragon City?
(Especially since H/VEATs can't even be started in Praetoria, apparently)

(Edit: And yes, all of the above use the extra arms in their animations. Player Crab Spiders do, too)
(Edit2: Not that I'm disagreeing with you, Snow, just pointing out existing examples of what you're saying. While there is a way to get extra arms for players, it's an EAT, so they're able to control what animations you can use)

I'm comparing them to contemporary ranged weapons. Those gunblades were the shite of the shite when it came to ranged combat.

The blade portion was serviceable enough, though.

The mind of a raging sociopath is not a good place to start when trying to prove the motives of a generous member of the populat.

There is no such thing as an 'aggro radius'. The closest thing would be the perception radius of the enemies, which isn't affected by your level at all.

Where's your proof?

Looking at the page history, Generalbusybody and Alisson. Generalbusybody in 2008 and Alisson in 2010. As noted by the page, though, base perception is defined by rank - Snipers have a rank of "Sniper" and a corresponding base perception of 149. Aside from rank, the only way for a critter to gain extra perception is a power granting +Perception. You can easily notice this with Vanguard Sword, who all have +Perception on self, and they will aggro on you from an abnormally far distance. Unless you have high stealth, Snipers and Turrets will also aggro on you from abnormally far away.

Snipers do aggro at range, they do have increased perception based on rank, and they do respect stealth powers, assuming you have enough (for example, Hide). Rikti Drones and Rularuu Sentries do not aggro at an extensive range, but they do aggro at normal range, regardless of your stealth radius.

I use Teleport

Err... what?

Virgil Tarikoss and Hardcase disagree with you.

Population of the game: Zero. Though you may encounter people from time to time, they're all figments of your imagination.

I'll admit there's no katana, but like a "Where's Waldo?" puzzle, you can find both a gun and a blade if you look hard enough.

You seem to misunderstand what 100% means.

The current maximum filesize is 110kb. If you're using 75kb, that's 68.18%, not 75%. In fact, 75 kilobytes (kb) is also 76,800 bytes, but that's the same percentage. 100% means 110kb, not 100mumble.
