    Fixed that for you.

    Was this in the main area or the hallways? The main area has the teleport suppression field, which is considered a 'combat effect'. Unless, of course, this was recently (and stealthily) changed.
  4. The fix is already on the test server. When it is published to live, this will be fixed. There is no possibility of a 'hotfix' or temporary solution before then.
  5. Well, I'm only part way through the forums I read and this is the THIRD place you've posted that message.

    Here's an FYI for you:

  6. 1. No.
    2. What bug? The overlapping doors? A patch is on the test server to fix them.
    3. Point out to them that the Help channel is across all servers but they can only team with people on the same server as them. If they don't get that, they are stupid and there is nothing you can do except ignore / put up with them.

    No, but we understand what "random" means. Random is random, regardless of what bugs may exist. As for the devs not telling us everything, this is true. But they have told us ENOUGH about some systems. This is one of them.
  8. Also keep in mind that you can't change them at all in certain zones. Pocket D and Ouroboros, for example, have zone-wide effects that prevent it. They're not specifically targeting Incarnate powers, but they count as being in combat.

    So there.
    Knowing is half the battle?
  12. Oh, no, I'm afraid that won't do at all. Not at all.
    We'll have to find something to do.
  13. Okay, MsCats will be out of town this weekend. She has Mender Lazarus scheduled for the 21st (level 30-39) and probably Numina the weekend after (level 35-40). So, I figured we could do something in that general range that also happens to be the Weekly Strike Target.

    The second respec trial (blue side) is level 34-43 and the contact (Captain James Harlan) is in Founders Falls. So, gather in FF prior to 1 PM and we'll get some Notices, bonus XP, etc.

    1. Quantum Qat - level 46 peacebringer
    2. Rawn - stone/ice tank
    3. GATE-keeper - um... some kind of tank
    4. Elllls - a toon
    5. darkmeldy09 - dark/dark corrupter
    6.

    You may HEAR what I'm saying, but clearly you don't understand it. Ten runs is MEANINGLESS to judge randomness.

    Reduced aggro radius for Hami. We had an entire thread about this and a lot of people stated they had observed this effect. Plenty also stated the opposite. Given that, at worst, it makes no difference, I always leave the pylons up while taking out the Mitos.

    "Unfair" is entirely subjective.
    "Random" can be tested and mathematically verified.

    The system is intended to be random. No system can EVER be fair to everyone, due to the simple fact that each person has different biases, perceptions and opinions. You may have a system where the majority feel it's fair to all, but you will never have universal agreement. This is human nature.

    Scrapper Envy?

    My first incarnate was my badge hunter, who happens to be a scrapper (BS/regen).
    My second was an invuln/EM tank.
    My third was an earth/rad controller.
    I haven't decided who will be next, but it won't be a 'damage dealer' (since I only have the one scrapper and don't play blasters much).

    And, in my experience, it does matter. Others have reported this also. (shrug) This particular issue is still open to debate.

    As for the pylons affecting Hamidon's damage, no, there has never been any indication of that. It seems you got some weird bug with the inspiration simply not working.

    Assuming they were both the same type. I was on one run (a Master run, yet) where the tank popped an 'EoE' and ran in to start taunting. Sadly, it was not actually an EoE. The tank had a supply of Ambrosia from the Eden trial. Oops.

    Did you know that there are still people who believe the Earth is flat?

    Does this make them different bonuses,
    Yes. Those are different bonuses. One is an E/N bonus with a certain name and one is a ranged bonus with a certain name. The secondary values were added some time after the sets were originally introduced. The Rule of Five goes by bonus NAME. This is why you can have the 7.5% recharge bonus ten times as long as five are the regular one and five are the Luck of the Gambler one.

    I don't think you can auto-complete a mission while you're inside it. You need to exit and call (or visit) the contact.

    It's good that you restricted this to Elmo, as my brother's doctoral thesis was on this subject.
