Will you be butthurt if we're not butthurt and, in fact, don't care?

In theory, yes. In practice, not always.

The only completely reliable method I have found is to FIRST type:
/hideall

THEN:
/unhideall

It would work fine. I have a bind that tries to activate every single combat buff pet. A character can only have one and it works just fine to activate whichever one that character happens to have.

Dunno. I know you can more narrowly identify some powers by listing them with more detail like Defender.Dark Miasma.Moonbeam. Not sure if something like that would work here. And, if it would, I don't know what the 'long version' name would be for the alignment power.

err... maybe. The problem with SSD's is that they are currently a relatively new technology. The solution to data loss is a back-up copy. Every system I build (for myself) gets 2 hard drives. The main drive and a second one just for back-up copies of my data. I have a batch file automatically make copies of everything each night while I'm asleep. Aside from a back-up in case the first drive fails, this deals with the problem of realizing you shouldn't have made those edits in a document - 2 seconds after you hit Save. (I also burn back-ups to DVD regularly in case the entire system fries. Plus, I keep a copy at my office, in case my house burns down. I don't lose data. Ever.)

BTW, please don't think I'm down on SSD's. I ordered the parts for a new system last week and my 128GB SATA III SSD was delivered today. Now I just need a motherboard... and a CPU... and a case... All the rest should arrive by Wednesday.

Well, the red text is the only part that I consider bad. The rest seems a pretty trivial issue.

Or maybe we're just right, and the devs have gauged us accurately. Just because you're not happy with the game doesn't mean it's doing poorly or the customers are unhappy.

You might as well say something similar to WoW players: "But everyone looks the same, aside from the equipment! You guys are too easily satisfied, I think."

A suggestion, to be sure in the future: turn on your combat monitoring and have it display your positional defenses. I have the key numbers displayed on all my defense or resist based characters. If I'm getting debuffed, I want to know it before I'm facedown in the dirt.

Oh... right.... because re-phrasing something like "So when did you stop beating your wife?" makes all the difference.


To answer your question: I think NO, unless each freespec is tied to a specific build. Otherwise, everyone will just activate the second build and never use it, except for the purpose of getting an extra respec.

I don't care about the noise and effects at the market, but if I could have a market terminal in my base right next to my salvage storage and invention worktable, that would be sweet.

Maybe. There is such a thing as a 'bad customer' that a business is better off without.


Or perhaps it was a deliberate design decision that you happen to disagree with.


/e wave

That appears to be INTENDED, but exemped people are getting them from lower level enemies.


You can get an unlimited number (you might be dismissing tips where the mission doesn't sound fun) but you can only do 5 for alignment progress. That will fill up your... um.... alignment slots? I don't know what they're called.


It's 20 hours and it tracks for each slot separately. When you fill a lot, it starts a 20 hour timer for that specific slot. It does not matter whether you are logged in or not during that time.


Sounds like bad luck. I've gone multiple missions with zero tips. Last night I got 3 tips in under 5 minutes in the same mission.

So you're an ebil, marketeering, stalking voyeur.

Definitely. And this is key: I see way too many people saying (in this thread) that they haven't seen any 'good' reasons from people who dislike the power suppression.

Newsflash: You don't get to be the arbiter of what is a 'good' reason.

Coffee can be good, but moderation in all things is wise....

Right. This is key. You can get the first respec badge at level 24, 38, 41 or 50. The first time you are eligible to claim a respec, and do so, you get the first accolade. You can earn all 3 after hitting 50 and you'll get them in the same order as someone who does them at 24, 34 and 44. And it makes no difference which trial you do. You can do the 'third' trial 3 times, or one of each, or the 2nd one twice and 1st one once.

The only problem is; the experiences of some people (like myself) completely contradicts the system you describe. We were never able to be sure whether those rules were wrong or a lot of people were experiencing bugged behavior.

Anyway, that's all out the window now because we don't know what changes may have been implemented with GR. Our only clue is the previously quoted patch note item.... which, of course, only tells us how it is INTENDED to work.

You can use 'common IOs' instead of 'set IOs'. With common IOs, damage is damage. There are no restrictions regarding melee, ranged, PBAoE, etc.

Wrong. It *IS* normal - for pets and turrets. The word 'buff' has a specific meaning in this game. If you're going to use a word like 'buffed', you need to apply it correctly.

Irrelevant. The OP was posting actual to hit numbers from his combat log. These are the final numbers AFTER defense is taken into account.

OP: You can't count the entire string of 7 attacks. When your to hit number is bouncing up and down, like the first few, it resets the streakbreaker. I think those four results in a row of 73.00 are a problem, though, unless the first one doesn't count due to the change from the previous to hit value. I'm not certain exactly where the reset occurs when you have varying to hit values.

Nope. You might as well ask, "If my computer died, doesn't it stand to reason that it can also happen to my refrigerator?" Technically, yes, any device can just stop working. But, just because one died, there's no basis to draw conclusions about an unrelated device.

I haven't lost anything from those places in over 5 years of playing. I also leave stuff in the market for long-term storage. Never lost anything there, either.

No reason apparent to you. Doesn't seem like bad design to me.
