  1. It was double funny 'cause I was hearing the original version in the back of my mind while reading yours
  2. Natural origin characters get bonuses with both of the powers.

    Also, I noticed that server load before on Freedom was always yellow to full, now I noticed server load on all servers to be low.
    Load has to do with resource utilitization. Which is highly dependent on the hardware (which has been upgraded many times), as well as what's running on the hardware. It's perfectly possible for a single person to put a server into the red by doing exactly the wrong thing.

    Issue 16. And depending on how you've been gone, the prior issues as well.

    I get the "Welcome, Sarrate." (as expected)

    Curious. Never been a board admin before, so I can't really deduce why it would be doing that... unless the first link is pointing to a different database or something.
    That's quite unusual... generally / will point to /index.{html,htm,php,etc} by default if it exists...
  5. Hm... I think it's calling us whoever is first on the list of the Currently Active Users... AegisWolf is the first on that list now, and before was Paladin... not sure about before that since I didn't check, but I'd be the other two were as well!
  6. It's a glitch on the main page of the forums, see this thread about the same topic.

    1.) This thread has nothing to do with that.
    2.) The store is down, so most likely it can't check to see how many purchase-but-unused slots you have. When the store comes back up, your unused slots will become available again.
    3.) There's about a billion threads already on this topic.

    Just go to http://boards.cityofheroes.com and look at the top right... it'll probably say one of the two (it does for me).
  11. I always found the 'uncanny valley' to be things that look really freaking close to being human, but lacked anything even coming close to resembling facial expressions. I.E. they were just a moving photo.

    This seemed to be a problem from around 4-6 years ago with CGI, but more recent stuff is far better. A good comparison is FF The Spirits Within to FF Advent Children. I enjoyed both myself, but when you compare the people in Spirits to Advent Children, you'll notice a huge difference in how human and realistic they feel. I could see how the people in Spirits would feel really creepy, as they look quite realistic but they lacked the technology to make them feel close to as human as they did in Children.

    I don't think Spirits is the best example (I can't really think of any good ones right now), but I think it somewhat shows the point via comparison. Honestly the list on that page on TV Tropes seems really... random.

    fast paced AE group dynamics.
    SSK has made it far easier for me to find a team than even during the AE era.

    Maybe a solution would be a more global channel for team requests and more access to TPs.
    Every server already has global channels meant for organizing teams, which are especially good for TF/SFs... and we really DO NOT need to make travel any bigger of a joke (PD TP, Base TP, Base teleporters, Oz, Pocket D, Raptor pack at lvl 1 on, and so many freaking more things)

    Best for what situation?
  14. If you're talking about IO set bonuses, those can increase Accuracy globally. Basically, the formula looks like:

    HitChance = Clamp( AccMods × Clamp( BaseHitChance + ToHitMods – DefMods ) )

    Where 'Clamp' keeps it above 5% and below 95%. For most powers, having around 60% accuracy enhancement slotted in them is generally enough for most enemies. With some ToHit buffs on your character, you'll need less accuracy enhancements.

    Wasn't there a red name post some time ago who explained that disabling Earning XP in the Options just meant that you weren't going to get XP and had nothing to do with Influence gain. Whereas exemplaring (via mentor or Ouroborus) converted XP not received or used to pay of Debt into Influence.
    Disabling XP merely disables XP, no bonus to Infamy or anything. The OP was talking about the new option with i16 to switch between earning XP while exemped, or earning Infamy in old-style (which does say double infamy in the little tooltip).

    Actually, I was wrong in my last post. I do use targetenemyprev quite a bit, via shift+tab and I'd simply forgotten. And it works exactly as one would expect as well: It goes from furthest enemy to closest in a loop, starting at the furthest if no target is selected.

    And I just decided to spend a while testing both commands. Many Cimeroran Traitors lost their life in the name of SCIENCE!!!! today

    At the very least, targetenemynext should start with the closest (I don't use prev so not sure what it does) when none are selected.

    I don't get why people always complain about the targeting system, it's always acted entirely as I'd expect... it targets the NEXT enemy distance-wise, not 'the enemy I'm thinking about' or anything magical.

    Oh yes, DELETING badges, that'll make people real happy! Not to mention, that's not the only issue that exists... but yes, lets pretend the Devs have a magic wand!


    Patience is a virtue, show a little.

    Of course, the Devs could just cure cancer, but unfortunately the Devs are too self-centered to do that!

    This isn't the solution, this is the work around. The solution comes later.

    They did not say it was permanent. It was obvious the reason for this change, and from that it's fairly safe to conclude that this isn't really the optimum change, but one needed to prevent the KHX syndrome.
