Does your casual player base mean so little to you?

[/ QUOTE ]

Does arrogance mean something to you?

This game is trying to give casual people a fun game while at the same time hardcore people a fun game. Hardcore people have Hamidon enhancements while casual people enjoy the story arcs and other things.

Your argument is just like what the Hardcore crowd says..."Does the hardcore player base mean so little to you?"

[/ QUOTE ]

Jonbo, we get it...you're stance is pretty well known by now, you've posted 40 times in every hammy thread. You are however pretty biased on the issue since you're in JL with most likely over 70% full of HOs. Most of us hardly have one, even though we've been to many successful raids.

[/ QUOTE ]

Where am I biased? I also NEVER "show off" my build. There is no point to. I play the game just as well as I did before Hammy's. But I would like to know where I'm biased because I like to be vocal on something like Hamidon. I tend to try and keep not as vocal but I dont like sitting idle on talks about Hamidon. Is it a law now?

The entire game isnt based around "loot" which is why I like it. from 45-50, it is nice to have small things like this but its not as bad as other MMO's, remember that.

Plus, Hamidon Enhancements have been around since beta so complaining about it now is kind of laughable because it wasnt until recently it got out of control.

Sounds good. Thanks for clearing up the issue

Still here...been busy with visitors this week. Plus - we've got E3 around the corner and, of course, City of Villains (though I'm not saying anything other than "this year" for a time estimate).

And I've been working some on the Arena (playtesting) and even Issue 5 stuff. Oh - and whatever comes AFTER City of Villains. Wouldn't you like to know that?

How many pies, brownies, and other assorted desserts would it take get a little hint of after CoV stuff...or even I5 stuff

I'd like to think Striga as a whole set a new standard. We're going to try to use it as our goal in future zones and in City of Villains...

[/ QUOTE ]

I like hearing that. Striga is awesome to hunt in but sometimes group sizes are small but the next group of baddies can be large which is good.

It's called the weekend and possible things outside of the boards. Its shocking, I know

I dont know of a travel power that doesnt use end So its still using a part of it, even if its just Run speed or just Jump boost + reduce end, its still better then an SO even though travel powers cap easily.

Yes, even if its just for one part its still better then an SO

What about Kheldian Nova Form? Thats pretty silly if they can't fly.

[/ QUOTE ]

Good question. Posi, can you answer?

A timer for a mission like this where its required to defeat Shadowhunter isn't right, IMO. Did the devs even REMOTELY consider editing the Souviner for if you fail that mission? Lets see, my answer is a resounding NO based off their past efforts at things like this.

I dont care if other wolf maps get timed. Its when something like this that has an AV that is timed at an HOUR and is needed for a badge/accolade, it just doesnt feel correct, IMO.

I remember hearing tales of Fire tanks herding Devouring Swarms in The Hive back when they gave minion XP.

I also remember when Devouring Swarms in The Hive were "heat seeking death missiles" and aggro'd on you about 10-20 seconds or sooner after steeping foot into the Hive.

so does the range component in these enhancements apply to cone powers as well? or are cone powers just out of luck?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes and No.

There is a major bug thats been around since Issue 1 (or earlier) where you if you slot a Damage/Range into something like energy Torrent, the CONE portion doesn't increase. But you can throw it farther back.

The problem with that is that things like ENergy Torrent and other cone attacks have a locked range on throwing it. So Damage/Ranges increase the distance in which you can throw it but if you throw it too far back, it doesnt hit the mob at all as the Cone "dissipates/dissappears" along the way to the mob because its on a fixed range.

I hope its fixed sometime because its been bugged NUMEROUS times since Issue 1 to no avail yet

I remember when SR was bleh way back pre-issue 1

I remember hunting the sewers from 36-49 (right before Issue 1) and meeting alot of the friends I still talk to this day.

I remember the first time Issue 1 was on test, went to Peregrine Island and was shocked when I found level 50 Malta. Needless to say, I died to them many times

I remember right before Issue 1 hit test, I parked my character near the Rikti Crash Site entrance at level 38, only to find out when it hit Test that it was level 40 to enter

I remember the purple patch cries of people leaving

I remember when lvl36+ Crey spawned near Mark IV in Founder's Falls *still shudders at the many deaths to them*

I remember when I heard about how Hamidon could be 1 shotted by a scrapper due to a debuff bug with Freezing Rain (pre-issue 1 Hamidon, or as I call it, Gimp Hamidon)

Someone will probably have a generic transcript of this show for obvious reasons

[/ QUOTE ]

If someone wants to take the time they can go for it.. but it'll be hard to keep up with. After all it is a 2 hour show of straight talk. Several people involved, I'll make sure the recording gets uploaded and on the web somewhere for download shortly its over.

Someone will be determined to do it (Not implying I will..too much of an endeavor for me )

Nicely done. As I sit here I'm typing up my PB's 2 form guide. Hopefully it turns out well

Well aren't you the informative one.... well as far as One HE for each Bud.. that's false and I can testify to that fact... I defeated well over a dozen Hamidon Buds.. and only three drops... the slots were there too.. so how does that happen? Just curious... fill us in! " Oh knowledgable One!"

[/ QUOTE ]

As far as I know, you have to have done the majority of the damage to a bud. Its possible you didnt, but I wasnt there so I cant verify but what other reason would a Hamidon Bud spawn except to give an enhancement for doing the most damage (kill shots may not count it sounds like)

I wonder why only 2-3 show up when they are in high demand...hmmmmm Maybe there isnt an accurate number of them

Dmg/Acc, Dmg/Rng, Dmg/Mez, and Acc/Mez are the most common.

Rarer ones are Tohit+Defensebuff/ReduceEnd and Tohit+defensebuff/atk rate. The rarest one I've seen is the Dmg Resist/Reduce End

Great job Blue One I would edit my post to include that but alas, they have a timer on edit'ing posts

Only 18% Defense? I know regular Defense SOs are 20% and(from what I've heard) it should be 30% last I heard for Hammy's

I dont know if tanks can cap defense since technically there is no cap

As for resists, its not hard for a tank to cap them anyways

Interesting/Good tests there Blue One. So basically those 3 part enhancements are actually GOOD to have since a regular 20% enhancement like defense ones but yet Hydra/Titan ones are 25%

Excellent post Pax!

Can't wait now to have 150+ heroes going all out
