Can we have the change made to Energy Transfer kindly reverted now and the fun brought back to the Energy Melee set?

still not working for me either, why has there been no red name reply to this?

The true irony is that when first released purples were below 30 million a piece and even then people thought the prices were too insane and cost prohibitive even then. Ah, the good ol' days, sure do miss getting 5 sets for less than that same 810 million.

Kat, I'm also unsure of when they were removed but I know it wasn't in I7... you're right about pathing, but wrong about the time-table for when they removed raids in general, but I'm pretty sure it was in the i10-13 range.... not i7

link to an article from August of 2008. Issue 7 was around january of 06, right?

/Dark is one of the best secondaries for keeping henchmen alive. It's not just the heal; it has -Damage, -Acc, Fear, Disorient, Slow; and it has them AoE too. /Kin can debuff one enemy well; not a group.

[/ QUOTE ]
Dark also has some nice +res and +def in Shadow Fall.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure /Kin has a semi good -dmg AoE power as well

Hardly. I submit Psychic Shockwave as an example. They may just not have had time as yet, as that would be a significant recoding.

Even better example: Energy Transfer. I'm pretty sure that's the longest standing thing they've changed quite so dramatically.

There's definitely no merit in the "they would have done it by now" argument. There almost certainly never was, but these days we have some very stand-out examples of it not being true.

How long has it been since that change/nerf? I'm STILL upset about it, probably always will be...

How about a TV series where someone sits in a bunker and pushes a button. No-one would ever watch THAT would they ?

Even if they spruced it up with like a plane crash or something.

hmm, I'm going to have go with a big ol' SIGH on that...

Catwhoorg is referring to: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/

Agreed, Doctored Wounds is the easy and inexpensive choice. But if you're looking for a better option, I'd go with 5 Panacea and a Doc Wounds Heal/End/Rech to round it out. That gives better bonuses IMO, and you get the additional bonuses if you happen to PvP.

Something really cool about having procs in Super Strength attacks is when Rage crashes you can still keep using your same attacks, even though they wont do nearly the same damage they can still do damage when the procs fire off. I cant count how many times Rage crashed just as a target was close to death but the Hecatomb proc in Haymaker or the Apoc in Gloom finished them off. The chance for Fire Armag proc in footstomp with a chance for +rech proc really crank up the AoE damage

I think I like all the purple procs to be honest

[/ QUOTE ]
I find using the vet attacks during the rage crash for guaranteed damage to be way better than hoping for a proc to fire...

The Taskforce Random Recipe Roll and Trial Random Recipe Roll from merit vendors have been merged into one Random Rare Recipe Roll pool. Also, the recipes generated by random rolls have been weighted so that recipes for common power types (such as Ranged Damage) drop more often than sets that are not so commonly used (such as Confuse). Finally, recipes formerly in Pool C and Pool D now have a small chance of dropping from a Boss class NPC.

could someone please link to this particular patch note? I can't seem to find it.

I have a 6750 processor and a GTX260 and I've been encountering the same issue. Prior to the 5/5/09 patch i wasn't getting much graphic slowdown at all, but now it's like i'm running on my old 6800. Things are lagging really bad on large teams with lots of effects. Prior to this patch the GTX260 was able to handle anything this game could throw at it....

I believe it is true. Don't know if it is intended. I recently put a set of 5 Panacea into Dull Pain and when I exemp down to 19 I have a recharge bonus of 57.50, 50 of which is from Purples.

For example, if you give 1 merit for each Mary and then another single Merit at the end of the TF, you have 11 instead of 7.

horrible idea... nobody would ever complete it... ever...

[u]The Bane of Prometheus[u]

Motto: Changing the world, one riot at a time!

Leaders: Lunch Box, Fuego, Headgear, Hexen Kessel, Brazillionaire

Super Group Colors: Red and Black

Normal time of gameplay: All the time, concentrated on weeknights.

Recruiting: Always on the lookout for someone that will fit.

Stuff: We are the number 1 group on the server as far as prestige. We do not have hard rules for being in SGmode but we certainly encourage it. Being #1 is a point of pride. We obviously have a fully functional base wtih tons of goodies stored that is also fully raid ready in the event that IoP's ever become available. We have our own Ventrilo server for voice communication as well as our website & forums for keeping in touch and bouncing ideas around.



here's some propaganda from our website, it's a bit out of date but most of it still applies:
[u]General BoP Rules: [u]

1. You are required to have an account on the BoP forums. The amount you post does not matter. Part of joining BoP is also joining this forum.

2. We use Ventrilo voice communication software. While it is not required yet, we do highly recommend you get it. If you don't have a microphone, at least use it to listen in. Check http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php for downloading and more info. Then go to the How to section and find our login info buried in there somewhere.

3. If you are gone for more then 20 days then you will be demoted or kicked. Going away for awhile? Send a leader an email ingame or a PM here on these forums. If you come back to the game and find you have been kicked, get in touch with a leader from the SG through in game means or these forums and you will be let back in.

4. Remember you carry the SG name around with you and thus represent the SG. Please, don't go around cursing in arena chat or broadcast for no reason and other nonsense. This should be a given anyway.

5. Members of the leadership can have 2 active toons in the main SG section (Bane of Prometheus) all other members can only have 1 active toon in the main SG section. We have two Alt SG's (Legion of BoP & Notorious BoP) where alts can be placed. The Alt SG's have access to the main base. You are free to move toons between alt SG to main SG depending on which is more active at the moment. The Alt SG currently has no limiting factors for toons. If there is currently room in the main SG we will not be enforcing this rule in any kind of hardcore way.

Note: Alts of the leadership will not get leadership titles. Only their main toon will get the title.

6. You are expected to be in SG mode at all times until you are level 25 at least. There is no infamy penalty until level 25. We ask that you be in SG mode as much as possible even after level 25. Prestige and Salvage is what improves our base and you can only get these things while in SG mode.

7. Have fun and if you have a problem with the game or SG, get in touch with one of us leaders so that we might be able to solve the problem.


Other Notes:

--No one is forced to group but it is always good to group with other SG mates. I understand that some like to solo play but playing with SG mates makes the unit stronger and allows you to get to know other members.

--We will try to have weekly events. This is a good time to get to know your SG mates better and a good time to just have fun as an SG. Try to make these events if you can. They will be posted here in the events section and will be posted on the calendar.

--Currently the basic work benches are being left out for everyone. Please only craft components and no other items(defenses, control aux, etc) since it is not needed and you will only be wasting your salvage.

I'm sorry... WHAT? Who's sick of co-op content? NOT ME...

I'm sick of co-op zones that disallow trading of inspirations... that is what I am sick of. . .

In Issue 12 (no release date yet, sorry), we are going to have you never dropping below 50% Inf. earn rate when in Supergroup mode. We will look at the impact of that change and base future alterations on that.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's nice and all, but I know many of my friends will continue to run out of sgmode simply because they are losing 50% of their cash. Why is there a cash penalty for being in sgmode at all? It leads to badgers and people who want to buy from the black market never being in sgmode. Please, either give us a really good excuse for the penalty or remove it...

And how longs the RSF been out? The Lab techs been bugged from day 1. If there was such a case in the STF, it woulda gotten fixed the first week.

[/ QUOTE ]

Inaccurate, it likely would still be down as well. There are plenty of buggy COH missions.

[/ QUOTE ]
Perhaps, but you cannot say for sure. We don't have a high profile situation such as this that does require fixing on the hero side. But the FACT is that it has been broken for almost 2 years now on Villain side...
