I thought that the idea behind making things more conducive to non AE farming was to populate the market.


Edit: I did have a common cold, it seems I'm back to my usual state of not making any sense. I feel so much better...


Moar edit: i16 has known issues and so do I.

additionally: low level characters cant get recipe rolls in RWZ. Gives the error message "inventory is full" possibly due to RWZ originally being a lvl 35+ zone.

I feel that the time and energy to certain changes that were recently made, may have better served the community if it was directed towards a more creative outlet for the players outside of A.E.

Now that i16 is out, and everyone is getting into the spirit of things,

May we please talk about some base love?

come by for a visit!

So, basically, we as base builders would like the devs and engineers to take notice how important base editing is to us, and how much we need new and better tools/items.

I am all for this. My labyrinth is located on blueside, infinity. It requires flight to navigate. My global is @Bea

The new forums format doesnt support the old format the City Scoop used, so for those that missed it,

that should help.

Thank you!

A friend met with Positron at the convention, and Positron suggested this post.

I hope it works!

Greetings!

Blueside, Infinity: The Twisted Burrow.

This base is a 3-d multi layered labyrinth of intricate design. It pushes the limits of the current base editing tools. Included in the design are many different maze styles and color combinations that confuse the senses as one moves through. It has often been described by visitors as an experience.

The motives behind this are to encourage, possibly influence grounds for new base editing tools. I've built bases across a number of servers and I welcome the opportunity to talk about possible base editing tools that could be useful for any base designer.

I believe that this base in particular, needs to be brought to the Dev's attention and what better way than a tour? The more, the merrier.

Please look for me at any given time, I am open to drop what I am doing to give a tour. I'm polite, patient, friendly, I have Ventrillo <client only> and Skype.

My global is @Bea

This invitation goes out to GM's as well.

Please make a collected focused effort for this.

Thank you for your time.

DC, Mapserve, Rubberbanding....

these are not my friends!

If you are so bored at work and HAVE to play video games, get a psp or a DS. Something maybe less likely to land you in prison, <Some employers would persue that for hacking, that IS considered a security leak!> My last job I took up drawing. Much more subtle... much less likely to draw negative attention...

Loosing your job over a video game is very bad behavior...especially if you were caught playing THIS video game under those circumstances... kinda like the "your loosing everything because you are addicted to playing video games"

You really dont want your next employer to find that out...such a thing on your record would make it virtually impossible for any employer with a computer to hire you.

To avoid that kind of trouble, try a Home buisness. You can alt+Tab in between applications, and its legal.


Edit: Dont use their equipment! Chances are your activities are being monitored, Either stick to handhelds, grab a notepad and get creative, or simply look for a better job. I'm not going to buy into this attitude that its ok to break your employers rules. It can cause you more trouble than its worth.

good thing I dont need inf to have fun.

Anyone want a tour of a wild base on infinity?

hit me up, global is @bea



helps if you can either fly, or jump really high...

update!

guess what everyone! I re-tested on a tank, taken screenies of before and after, compared the numbers, and found that the sets arent broken, my perception was way off, <because combat attributes arent clearly labeled, and rearrange themselves upon slotting> and all things are working as intended. If this brings any joy to anyone: I'm sure that the gm's and dev's and everyone else ive been bugging about this are quite insane from me making them chase their tails...have a laugh.

Ah well, at least I learned something.

I'm so very glad that I was wrong.

Sorry for wasting everyones time.

the exact same thing it did before slotting enh. My numbers are all still the same, instead of writing it down on paper, I should have taken screenies I know...

Ive gone over attributes before and after slotting. I wrote them down. they simply dont show up..

two slotted should have a return of 2.5% improved recovery.

they dont show anywhere.

its possibe that the set wont return unless more are slotted.

its been /bugged.

edit: since the ticket was escalated and returned with "software not functioning as it should" points to bug. either that or im a big ball of retarded. I dont have resources to test the set, <got +100mill?> I cant get on the test server to test it, so, if anyone has any input/feedback about that, please share. Ive got two of the set in fire shields, plasma shields, and tough. a total of 7.5% should be in combat attributes... nowhere to be seen. I hope i16 has a fix for it.

I woke up this morning, and found my acct was deactivated, so during the reactivation process, I went over everything and found a response to a ticket I filed a long time ago.

The "law of five" was one of the "possible solutions" to one of my problems, since then Iv'e gone over my builds and They all work within the Law of Five.

The set bonuses for impervium armor are broke. Those bonuses dont show under combat attributes and arent being applied to my character. That is my problem.

I thought the "Law of Five" was to blame...which is what kinda set this thread off, I also cut/pasted it here, so if any information regaurding the Law of Five is incorrect... its not my fault.

so,

Apologies if anyone was rubbed the wrong way, and thank you all for your help.


edit: Mids cant hold what I build these days, it needs an update. My brute cant be duplicated in mids, yet here I am with it.

I missed that bus, or I forgot about it. how does that saying go ? "Iv'e forgotten more than you will ever learn" So many teachers have told me that. Now I too can say this! Yippie!

I just dont want others making mistakes that could possible sour their gaming experience.

the Law of Fives is definitely souring.

edit: I understand that there could be an inbalance when slotting multiple times, however, that is debatable. doing so really would make all of your other powers ineffective, and when GR is released with all the new ways to increase your lvl 50's powers, the subject would become even more debatable.

I like to say debatable. its almost a vegetable.

how many times is the word "table" used?

Greetings all. Recently I discovered this horrible thing:

Any given specific set bonus that is granted from slotting enhancement sets can be applied to a character only five times. This is known as the Law of Fives.

There are many different enhancement sets in the game that will provide identical bonuses to a character's attributes. A character may have up to five copies of the same bonus and still get the benefit, however any additional bonuses to that attribute in that amount will not be counted.

For example: The Triage set provides +4% to Regeneration when two enhancements from the set are slotted in the same power. So a character can slot five Triage sets and get +4% from each, totaling +20% to their Regeneration. However if they slot a sixth Triage set, the bonus will not be applied.

The Law of Fives also takes affect even if the bonuses come from completely different sets, but still provide the same numerical benefit to the same attribute.

For example: The Brilliant Leadership set also provides +4% to Regeneration when two enhancements are slotted in the same power. If a character has three Triage sets and two Brilliant Leadership sets, they will get +4% to their Regeneration from each. However the character now has five copies of the exact same benefit, so if another Triage or Brilliant Leadership set is slotted, the Regeneration bonus will not be applied. If another set is slotted that provides a bonus to Regeneration with a value other than +4%, then that will be applied.


Please be aware of this wretched law, as I was not. Don't purp out anything or slot multiple enh without doing the math. You might be spending inf and wasting time. On a more personal note, I feel that this law should be done away with. With the exception of rares, procs, and purple sets themselves, this Law of Fives is nothing more than a thorn in everyones side.
