Quote:Well it's not like AAO's -7.5% dmg or EA's -16 rech are anything to write home about either.Yeah, but their toggles are really offensive. I don't enjoy having Darkest Night or Enervating Field drop when I get mezzed, but at least it sort of makes balance sense that such an imposition on foes is dropped. Dropping RttC because of that little debuff? That seems like an awfully pedantic interpretation of that "rule".
Anyway, it never mattered to me on melee toons, I can't recall the last time my damage aura ones got it suppressed for mezzing. The only time it bothered me was on my SD/MA Tanker before SOs (the click mez protection wasn't perma), but it wasn't 'Omg this is horrible', more like a minor inconvenience. It was a big QoL change on my squishies, not having to retoggle CJ+leadership stuffs+whatnot everytime I got mezzed.
But now I'm wondering how Entropic Aura goes, since it's the mez protection and a taunt/buff/debuff aura too. Maybe like in this example from Pwiki?
'In PvE, a suppressed toggle will stop providing all buffs except mez protection. For example, a Force Field Defender is hit with a Rikti Mentalist's Mezmerize. The Defender is now sleeping and her Dispersion Bubble is no longer providing her with any defense. It is still providing mez protection and if the Defender is next hit with a Dominate she will not be held. In this situation, the Defender's teammates will still benefit from the defense and mez protection so long as they themselves remain un-mezzed.' -
Meh, not that bad, it happens once in a blue moon, it's not like you get mezzed all the time, try playing squishies with toggles like radiation, time, elec/ice/fire control and then it can get a little bothersome.

Quote:It's not bugged, Shield's AAO, Dark Armor's OG and CoF, Ice Control's Arctic Air all detoggle since they affect enemies in some way.I was unaware that it did that in PvE. I knew it did that in PvP, which still sucked, but...
I would run that by Synapse in case there's anything new they can do about that, or on the off chance that it's just plain bugged.
But yes, whether or not it's supposed to do that, it's related to the fact that it debuffs foes. EA may be in this boat now too since it's got a toggle that debuffs recharge. -

Try relogging, this happened to me a few times with TW and BR toons.

Since this is in the Tanker forums I assume he can't skip Def Sweep.
So yeah, CB or Titan but those two are great for leveling especially since you get the best ones later as a Tanker. -
Quote:What about not detoggling, only suppressing toggle powers? I love my Rocket Board for getting around with my non-travel power toons (and even the speedsters and superjumpers for big travels) but retoggling is a pain, I have toons with 8+ toggles.It requires the modification of every animation currently existing in the game to work with these movement modes.
Furthermore, it requires every new animation created in the game going forward to be created with these additional movement modes in mind, increasing the number of animations needed for every new power set, emote, etc.
This is not a simple request, it is an exponential increase in time and work for every new animation that is put into the game. -
Quote:You have good points but then again, CoD is just as 'bad' from this point of view, maybe worse since its Stealth alone is like superspeed or the Stealth pool, not like Hide. My old 50 dm/da scrapper isn't built for defense so I barely used it unless I needed perception (I always take CJ because of the maneuverability) or ghost a mission (but that requires the stealth IO somewhere or superspeed besides CoD)Stop and think about that for a moment. When they ported dark armor over to stalkers, they basically split Cloak of Darkness into two powers, Hide and Shadow Dweller.
True, they removed the endurance costs but, Hide still cost endurance when dark armor was made for stalkers which means that they didn't even remove the endurance cost when this change was made. It was just a fortunate side effect that took place later in the game when they altered Hide on all stalkers, and while the endurance cost is minimal, combat jumping does cost endurance to run and doesn't give any better protection from immobilization and doesn't give better defense either which makes that a worse choice for a dark armor stalker.
Considering the way they've been reexamining powers and sets in this game to bring them all more up to par with each other, I just think this is a power that could very easily be improved while they're already working on such subjects in the game without making it OP. -
Suppressed Hide+SD gives the same amount of def as Cloak of Darkness, and CoD costs endurance. So it's not useless since it eases building for defense if you use IOs, plus perception and immob protection is great for a passive.
Also, it's not required either, you can get Combat Jumping for the immob protection if you don't really need +perception. -
Now I want a video of your toon in action like the one this guy made sometime ago.

Teaming. I've been gifted a 6 month sub of the other superhero MMO. I read about how much it had improved since launch so I was eager to try it out again. Game is fun, great gfx, love the combat, you get a travel power earlier than CoH if you skip the tutorial, awesome customization and powers, etc. Looks like it would be the ideal game for me when I don't want to play CoH since I spend more time burned out on it than ingame these days.
But... NO TEAMING. I'll try to level a toon to the cap there since I have 6 months but... Dammit, even the forum addict veterans there say that you're not expected to find teams before the last ten levels or so in some trials or whatever (so only in special missions, not regular ones). I had that experience in other MMOs I tried before. For the most part, it's like a single player game where you see other players killing stuff and people talking about their experiences in the chat channels, but very rarely actually playing with each other. -
Hasn't happened to me in awhile but in previous updates I got the Trojan message using ESET Smart Security (the more complete version of NOD32). At the time I downloaded some free antivirus programs to test, they didn't accuse it so I assumed it was a false positive. But as I said it's been some time I don't get a trojan message with my AV program, it happened 3 or 4 times before with prior updates tho.

Must be a commercial decision. I mean, how many people do you see today with time, beam rifle, elec control, dark blast (since the blaster version is kinda different)... I still see tons of StJ and lately the amount of melee toons (of all kinds) in any team has been staggering, nowadays it's not uncommon to see 2-3 Tankers on a team. Not even counting TW because it's too new but I guess it will remain popular since it's so good.
The only non melee 'newish' powerset I still see plenty is Dual Pistols. -

I'd say so. But looking at the powers yesterday (not at home today, no game here) I was wondering if Mercurial might be a better choice than the tier 2 which I forgot the name. Mercurial does -def and probably accepts an Achilles proc, the tier 2 has a chance for mag 2 stun iirc. So maybe it's one of these tier 1 powers that are better than the tier 2 like in Katana or Elec Melee, not 100% sure but looked like it to me.

Quote:Well there's absolutely no reason to put a stealth proc in a Stalker, Hide takes care of everything. Unless you PvP but then you'd have to pick the Stealth pool power too, besides usually SS, SJ, tons of KB protecton in the case of Nin, etc.Interesting builds...I am just wondering why the stealth enhancement was placed in super speed and not sprint...since sprint can be used with super speed and ninja run....instead sprint wasnt even slotted with end. reduction or run speed enhancement even. Also made the one build miss out on the set bonus with zephyre set.

Quote:The last two episodes really made me like Pinkie Pie even more, she's definitely my number 1 now. I liked that, unlike the Pinkie Sense episode, in the babies one they made her act half the time as a normal character, and not just 'being crazy Pinkie Pie' all the time.I am SOOO lucky I'm the only one in the office b/c I'm LOLing so hard right now.
That was SUCH a great scene!!
Bwahahahah!
Plus in the end of the baby cakes episode when she cried...
-
Quote:I believe she's talking about Innocuous Strike (sp?) since that's the attack Stalkers don't get.You don't like Guarded? I love that! I think for lower leveling, Guarded is way better than Eye of Storm. Eye of Storm is going to have 17s recharge. That's awfully long wait at lvl 4, don't you think?
Did you buy it in the beta market as I stated in my OP? I wrote that exactly because in the Beta thread it wasn't specified so some people didn't find it. -
Quote:Yeah the last episode was awesome. Predictable in storyline terms but Derpy and Pinkie Pie made it great.When I watched the newest episode... and Derpy... had... lines... and they called her by her name... and... and... @_@ I almost had a ponygasm.
And then Pinkie's reaction when the Pinkie Promise was broken... O.M.G.
Seriously, one of the best episodes ever. EVER.
Btw, as of 2 days ago the name "TwentyPercentCooler" was available. I was going to use, but added a "Z" at the end (for my namesake). I did post in a channel that the name was available so I'm not sure if someone yoinked it or not. Just figured I'd mention it though...
On the fanbase, you probably know this but the DJ's name was also chosen by the fanbase (in the equestria daily blog) and in the Equestria Girls video (an official song for those who don't know) she is called by the name chosen by the fan's poll (DJ PON-3) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTPqjKk_xCo

I only have 2 incarnates, with the first one months ago ppl were doing Lambdas the way you described.
On my second toon (which I did 1.5 months ago) I saw everyone advertising 'Slam'. When I asked they said it was 'Speed Lambda' - besides only clearing the Courtyard, we also ignore acids and just go for grenades. That's how ppl have been doing on Freedom for the last months, and on Virtue too (I only have one 50 on virtue which is the one I incarnated long ago but I see Slams advertised on the Virtue channels all the time). -
I agree with this, but what I found funnier (hilarious even) were the replies from people who didn't seem to respond outta boredom - they HAD to say 'but my scrapper/stalker/warshade/whatever is SO GUD, he does this and that' like... They need to convince the OP or something.
Hadn't read the post at first but now I congratulate the OP, funny thread.
