A new list coming up once I find everything and get it all written up.

IMO, Fly could do with capping, at the high game, with 2 SOs instead of "nearly 4."

Here's the deal with CJ & Hurdle.

Combat Jumping increases your air acceleration and jump height. It doesn't affect your jump speed in anyway EXCEPT that you will start moving forward faster, IF you are running forward slower than your max jump speed.

Hurdle increases your jump height(minor) and max jump speed. It also might have a direct or indirect effect on your air acceleration, but if so it is extremely minor. Enhancements increase both your jump speed(6 SOs in this power is incredibly fast, nearly 50 MPH IIRC) and your jump height. But like in Sprint, the height modifier is so small, enhancing it for extra height is a very minor gain.

Also, Swift is, according to Geko's old post, 25-35% run speed.

Bow used to do it before the new emotes were released IIRC.

Anyway, no you can't autofire an emote/bind without a 3rd party program.

I didn't find the paladinawaken thingy. I saw it in another thread in(I think) the guides forum where someone perused the .pigg files to look at the available emotes.

Thanks for adding lotus for yoga to the list and other tricks with emotes, guys!

There's a (likely temporary, likely a bug) emote by the name of "paladinawaken"

Now what this does is buggy. If you don't have hover/fly going, you'll get a rumble sound and look like you're about to cast Nova(minus Nova glowies) - then your character will disappear(glowies will remain).

However, if you do have hover/fly going, you will do the full Nova hover animation(minus glowies) without disappearing. However, you won't get the rumbling sound.

Note: I say Nova animation but I've never really paid any attention to the actual Nova animation, so it might just be something unique or the animation of another power.

Thank you all for your comments!

Regarding needing to rebind keys you have specifically changed from today's defaults: you should not have to. If we change the profile your changes will still be remembered. Only if a key is set to the default (meaning you didn't customize it) will its definition change.

I always thought it'd be funnier if the Friends list said "You have NO FRIENDS", if you didn't have anyone added...

Back in alpha it did for a while, I didn't think that would go over too well with real players though.

Personally, I love the funny/sarcastic/cynical seeming error messages like these. They're fun to run across.

New commands added for the boombox sounds:

Lemme know if I missed one! I won't bother trying to describe the "music."

I think you may have seen the emote which makes you go through the bodybuilder poses - name eludes me right now...


One of them looks remarquably close to drawing a bow string at about a 30 degree angle upwards on the side.

[/ QUOTE ]

As already gone into, some people with drawn weapons can sometimes do a bow-and-arrow pose by using the fancybow emote.

I do not know how, when or why this happens, but it used to work with the bow emote and from what I've heard no longer does.

For those people who complain about the disorient issue here, I'd like to add this:

Anyone with Stimulate pool power or any defender/controler who has these powers:
Empathy/Clear Mind
FF/Dispersion Bubble
Kinetics/Increase Density

Can prevent it from ever happening, and so can the inspirations. In addition, the defender/controller power Accelerated Metabolism will cut the time you're disoriented down by a good bit.

For those suggesting end recovery be halted, I'm fairly sure "halting" end recovery would simply be applying a -100% endurance recovery debuff on said player.

Issue with that? Same as with the same effect on Nova and the like - it's overcome fairly effectively with Recovery Aura.

I don't know the numbers, but here's an example using assumed/made up numbers:

100% end recovery rate with the following modifiers: + 100(RA) - 100(AB) leaving you with endurance recovery of normal.

Now, you can add Stamina, Speed Boost or Accelerated Metabolism to increase that even further to have a better-than normal, in this example.

Both can be worked around, only the latter has a empathy-ensured work around built in, unless they code a new way to completely stop end recovery regardless to buffs.

A slow effect, -spd -recharge, would effectively be countered by: hasten & sprint/superspeed and/or speed boost.


There's your ideas with counters listed.

Which one can't the Defender do by itself? Only disorient, since there is no pool power that offers resistance, unless you plan to carry a ton of will inspirations.

And any way you slice it, a Kinetics defender/controller will offset ANY of these drawbacks...

Alright, Dimensio, since you seem keen on exploiting things beyond their intentions, how about they fix cam_dist so you can't see where YOU the PLAYER aren't supposed to be able to see.

All problems fixed.

That means build up is only adding 25-30% more damage and Aim is only 15-20% extra.

[/ QUOTE ]
Know thy numbers.

Unless the powers have recently been changed since I last heard:
Aim: 50% damage 100% accuracy
Build-Up: 100% damage 50% accuracy

That would roughly be 21-36% and 43-72% effective damage boosts to a 6-slotted all damage SO attack depending on the levels of the SOs relative to your character.

So yes, Build-up and Aim still help considerably with damage. Even on a 6 damage SO+3 attack combining them both is adding over 64% damage to the attack. (150/233)

FYI: I don't know -exactly- how it works, but entire city zones SCALE MOB SIZES

Go to test when its -empty-

Walk around Talos.

Notice all the mob sizes are 1-4 mobs? Very few lts/bosses?
I did this before U2 was on the test server, there was me and one other person in Talos. Everywhere I went, mob sizes were tiny. On Virtue at the same time, mob sizes were -all- easily 2-3 times as big.

Now go to your main server and wander around Talos.

Compare.



Of course, with U2 freshly on Test, you may have to wait a long time to be able to test this for yourself.

I'm sure a red name could point this out and give better clues as to how it works.

Nevermind that Statesman already hinted at it.

Why do you think a butt-kissing thread is any more valid than a critical one?
Both are a waste of space, IMO.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because a "Good job! Keep up the good work." encourages good relations?

In a world of machines, yes, both are a "waste of space."

But on all ends lies a human, who probably appreciates at least a small amount of appreciation.

Rest just doesn't cut it... I think he wants something more like this.

Certain weapon weilding characters will do that with the taunt1 action IIRC... if not then taunt2.

I do not know if you have to be in combat stance for this to happen or not.

BTW: A majority of "scale" items have a range of 0.5-1.5, 50% or 1/2 to 150% or 1 1/2

I believe the CoH text scaling works the same way, it will accept smaller or bigger numbers, but it won't change the size any further than the min/max.

AFAIK its a running joke with people and no such macro exists. What they are likely talking about is suiciding with the absorb pain power.

Edit: Although if I'm wrong, I'd more than like to have someone proove it and let us all know.

Whats the emote for the CONVERSE>Arrrrggggh!

[/ QUOTE ]

That would be "/e frustrated"

I was trying to figure out how to bind the "On my mark..." emote to a key, but I guess it's impossible. If anyone has figured out what that emote is, please post it here.

[/ QUOTE ]

That is the "/e stop" emote

Can I find all these emotes in the in-game emote menu?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not all, akimbo/wings is not listed, at least. Most of the rest of them are, though many come with sayings attached.

I did have martial arts!

Wings as he stated is akimbo, and a peculiar name for an emote that apparently does nothing much

dropboombox is the same thing as boombox, and lotus is the same thing as yoga.

I did miss out on a lot of alternates, feel free to list them!
