Maybe the proc is suppressing the Stealth IO when it goes off? -
I was playing my Mind/Rad solo lately and noticed strange thing that, on occasion, the boss I was trying to confuse would aggro on me.
I'm running with SuperSpeed and Stealth IO in Sprint. These toggles are always on. So, my stealth radius is 65 feet (35 from SS and 30 from Stealth IO). I also monitor PvE stealth radius in combat monitor.
It looks like Stealth IO is getting suppressed sometimes while I'm using confuse. In such instances PvE stealth radius in combat monitor is dropping to 35 feet from 65 feet, I'm getting into perception radius of the boss I'm trying to confuse and he aggroes on me.
Confuse is 5 slotted with Coercive Persuasion (everything except single aspect confuse), no damage procs there.
It happened with different bosses (Freaks, Sky Raiders, Council, Vanguard, etc.) and at different levels (15-50). These bosses weren't part of any ambush, just regular spawns.
It didn't happen often, maybe 1-5% of the times, but it was enough to catch my attention. -
While it is far away, you can collect alot of "Present" inspiration during New Year event. These work as tier 3 when you solo, but their effect is multiplied if you on team and teammates and their pets are nearby when you using such inspiration. It is very easy to HARD cap defence or damage with just single inspiration.

... I also seem to recall someone posting that they kept knocking back Snaptooth while they were fighting him, so it seems like it should be possible.

Actually, doesn't an invasion happen in a random zone on BOTH blue side and red side after an LGTF?
The "random zone, blue side OR red side" event is after turning in Halloween salvage.
. Rikti invasion happens only on 1 side, while halloween event (either zombie or apocalypse) happens on both sides at the same time.

Quote:On pull STFs I've been on, we usually worked from the right. It is possible to pull 1 of them, but you have to watch for others. If you can't handle more than 1, then retreat to hospital if more than 1 came, and try pull again.Originally Posted by Red Valkyrja
The last STF I was on, I managed to confuse Scirocco, who then B-lined it towards GW (who just happened to tag along when we pulled Scirocco.) Teammates were all "WTF!" when he ran off to put the smackdown on GW, unfortunately this only served to place him within her support range when he got his thoughts sorted out. <sigh>
By the way, in the strategy for pulling the AV's is it typical to go for them in a particular order? We could not for the life of us, pull less than two of them. -
Quote:Haha... Then you'll need second team to deal damageOriginally Posted by Katie V
Doesn't appear to have confuse resistance to go with the protection. If my calculations are correct, a team of eight purpled-out mind controllers can perma-confuse it. Romi raid anyone?

Quote:Healing nictus has something like 200 mag protection to confuse. Good luck with perma confuse.Originally Posted by Talos_Maltalomar
this is the best way i have found for defeating Ghost Widow:
Perma Confuse her she cant heal if you do so. everyone else can whale on her and she will die fast. Also works with the Itf nictus but will work better if you have 3 ppl that can perma confuse as the nictus are healing you instead of Romy. Or better yet perma Confuse Romy and let him kill the nictus for no Stun when you kill him. -

And since it is an exploit, they may not let us know about it beforehand, you would would log in and find that power suddenly missing its enhancements.

Eislor wasn't saying you'd log in to find your HOs deleted. Simply that the exploit portion will at some point stop working.
Quoted statement sounds too ambiguous to me. It can be interpreted as either enhancements were removed or some aspects of these enhancements stoped working. -
Quote:I doubt that HOs will be removed from the power. At least one aspect of the power is enhanced legitimately.Originally Posted by Eislor
The Devs have stated that this is an exploit and that they will fix it, when they can figure out how to do it (without having to re-code too much of the game engine). If you do go this route just be aware that you could lose the enhancements when they fix the exploit. And since it is an exploit, they may not let us know about it beforehand, you would would log in and find that power suddenly missing its enhancements.
This has been a Public Service Announcement.
For example:
Enhancing range of ID with centriole isn't exploit while enhancing damage resistance is.
Enhancing endurance of Maneuvers with Enzyme isn't exploit while enhancing defence is. -
Quote:You can also try Eden. Nemesis are usually on the right as you enteredOriginally Posted by Noxilicious
I don't remember there being any Nemesis hunts red-side, so I'll just go ahead and assume you mean blue-side.
Depending on your level, Crey's Folly and Peregrine Island are your best bets. If you're just 40, you can find several Nemmies on the roofs of Crey's Folly, roughly around the center in the map. They'll be around 35-39, so definitely manageable.
If you're higher than that, there's plenty of Nemmies around the docks in Peregrine Island, and they're a lot easier to find than those in Crey's folly.
And of course there's the option to just grab a radio mission with Nemmies, that would probably be the easiest way to do this. -
I heard somewhere, that it would require making substational changes to the game engine in order to fix TP veng stacking. It seems, last night RSF somewhat confirmed this point of view.
Looks like, the way devs decided to deal with TP veng stacking was to cancel selection of dead teammate while they being TPed.
Still we were able to stack veng at least twice.
One time was by accident: 2 players hit veng around the same time (no TPing of dead body). You can see on this pic the VEAT veng stacked with Leadership veng:
Second time we were determined to stack veng and we succeded in it as well. Again there was no TPing. You can see on this pic the VEAT veng stacked with double stacked Leadership veng:
So, server doesn't prevent stacking the veng. It is still possible to do if you avoid TPing and get lucky with timing.
While it wasn't tested, I believe, it is possible to stack veng even with TP, but would require much better coordination between TPer and vengers, and it wouldn't be as reliable as it was before fix. -
We had a lot of success with cold/ice defender on our MO runs.
-
So, Mystic Fortune Prompt isn't removed? That's shocking...

Quote:Leadership and VEAT veng wasn't stacking before, except for TP stacking.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
This.
The patch note listed meant that if somebody used Vengeance, somebody else wouldn't be able to come along and use it again while the current buff was still active.
I believe the reason the exploit worked was because with 2 or more people firing the buff simultaneously, the system saw that the player did not already have a buff, and applied them simultaneously.
As mentioned, the fix to this was probably something that required changing the way another part of the system works, so might have been harder or lower priority until now.
On a side note, does the same functionality apply to multiple copies of different Vengeance powers? What if there was a VEAT using theirs at the same time as somebody with the Leadership pool? Does it block one of them from being applied? -

I spent 10 minutes and multiple attempts trying to register and it kept failing the registration, saying the highlighted fields needed to be correct but there were no highlighted fields.
Y'know, forget that. If I need updated map pack files, I'll get 'em from someone who already downloaded them. I'm not going through the hassle of registering (especially when it's that frustrating) just to download a map file that used to be so easy to get.
worked for me -
Quote:Heh. I assumed that they already have copy in new locationOriginally Posted by Master-Blade
You left out the most important (but obvious) part. Actually moving the files to the new location.
In fact, I'd prefer this method anyway. Using Bill's re-installation method (or even the stand-alone NA CoH registry installation program) may result in some of the graphics options that are saved there being reset to default.

There is quicker way to move it to different directory if you aren't afraid editing registry.
Coh registry settings are located in the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\Coh"
You need to change "Installation Directory" to point to new CoH directory. After that you only need to update "Target" and "Start In" in the shortcut to point to new coh directory as well.
That's it. -
Quote:Shush, it is was nerfed from 38 to 36 not too long ago.Originally Posted by Tokyo
Funny how in a previous thread you had stated you would "NEVER" turn "any" player away based on their AT. Welcome to the wonderful world of hypocrisy.
i'd thank the devs but given this would have never happened if the mitos weren't "fixed" in the first place... it's good to have a more sensible mag applied to the mitos for an 8 person TF.
As an aside, I would have been fine with the mag 53 if the lgtf were given a much higher merit reward (maybe 35 to 40 merits?). What ever happened to risk VS Reward? -
Quote:While I hate this prompt by itself, the most annoying thing about it, that this prompt will popup even you already have fortune buff.Originally Posted by UberGuy
I'm with him. I was so freaking happy when you removed this prompt. Now, rather obviously, I'm really freaking annoyed that you're putting it back. Why can't it be optional?
Can you, Devs, do better job and stop spamming popup if player is already buffed? If you for whatever reason decided to put it back, at least place burden on the caster instead of the receiver of this buff. -
Quote:We've done MoBSF without stalker, but we had MM, IIRCOriginally Posted by Zamuel
I hoping I'm not past the necro timer...
I'm curious, how many Barracuda teams have successfully beaten Reichsman without a MM or a Stalker? I have a feeling that people are letting themselves get blindsided by the temps but I'm trying to confirm my suspicions. -
Quote:Add Justin Augustine TF to "Don't quit TF until it finished" list.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
On a side note, the most common reason for not getting the badge at the end is quitting before the end of the SF. Beating Reichsman is NOT the last mission. The SF is not complete until somebody visits Lord Recluse in the tower. We usually remind the team not to leave so everybody gets the badges correctly.
*I'm not saying this is what happened to you. I'm just offering advice to those who have not done it to make sure they wait. -
Quote:It depends on team, YMMV. My friends and I mostly doing speed runs and it is irrelevant for us whether we getting mission completion bonus or not. Very often, when mission requires clickie or something like that, only one person will enter that mission while rest of the team will gather at next mission door or zone (2nd mission of Numina, AP and KR of Manti, 2nd mission of Ice Mistral, etc.)Originally Posted by Master-Blade

Not for nothing, but since it's a team, it's usually common (or not so common) courtesy to wait for other people to arrive before completing objectives or defeating enemies (unless it's a door ambush) anyway... especially if you are not the team leader and/or it is not "your" mission. Otherwise people may miss out on Mission completion bonus, or even just the xp/inf involved in killing the enemies.
Some people argue they are not entitled to the points because they were not in the mission yet and didn't help kill the enemy or whatever, but as a team you should be helping each other get points, not remove enemies/objectives so they get less. If you wanted to solo the mish, then why even join a team?
