Quote:The defense debuff will be resisted like that, but not the resistance debuff part of it.Originally Posted by Neogumbercules
I'm also going back and forth on Surveillance. The only time I'd even bother to use it is again AVs and such, but they resist the debuff by like 90%+ so it doesn't seem worthwhile to me. -

IMHO players can be "worth" something even if they don't buy anything (or very much) from the Market. If they play the game long term, enjoy it and bring other people to play it who may themselves buy from the Market and/or subscribe then arguably they've provided a net benefit to the game.
Obviously the game can only sustain a certain proportion of non-paying players, but I don't think it's fair to write off F2P players simply because they haven't directly paid money into the game.
Players are content.
Granted, with the way CoH is currently setup, I'm not considering it a real free to play game, even though they've announced it becoming one. More like an elaborate free trial. -
Quote:/screenshotui 1 doesn't work on mac?Originally Posted by GavinRuneblade
I just did this same thing but worse on the same damn item. I just spent 210 million on a demonic threat report. I thought I was typing over the previous number, but all I did was add some more digits to the previous purchase price.
It's too late, I need sleep and shouldn't be near the market. So if any of you had a big surprise on your junk salvage, consider it a belated Halloween treat. =)
And, I need to figure out how to take screenshots of the UI on a Mac, all I can do is get the background.
(Default mode for screenshots is to not show ui, screenshotui 1 sets it so ui shows up in them) -
Quote:If something has a 95% chance to hit you, the streakbreaker is the least of your worries. All it does is prevent lucky/unlucky streaks. There's a .25% chance of anyone with 95% hit missing twice for a given two attack sequence. That's the chance of streakbreaker stepping in.Originally Posted by Doomguide
Last consider the streak breaker. Normally it's of little to no consequence for the player vs pve foes even though the foes use it as well as the players, the pve mobs by and large die too fast to take advantage of it particularly vs anyone with high defenses. However, when all those DE are now at 95% to hit the streak breaker is causing every other attack (by a single foe) to automatically hit regardless of their to hit roll. Not sure when (or even IF) this becomes an effective change in the incoming damage but I suspect it has the potential to impact a soft capped Tank (or max health scrapper with capped resistance maybe?) whose greatly higher hit point cap combined with resistances may see the effects and live long enough to talk about it, pop greens, use Dull Pain, Earth's Embrace, Dark Regen etc..

Quote:There's no real way to get a true control group. The demand and generation rate of different salvage are, well, different. Not to mention, there's no way to make sure that anyone not participating in the experiment won't mess with the "control".Originally Posted by thehallows
You would also need to be tracking the price changes in items that aren't being anti-flipped so that you would have a control group.

End reduction affects both the pet's powers and the cost to summon the pet.
I'm not sure exactly about set IO end reduction. I've read someone saying on the MM board that pet damage set IOs with end reduction don't reduce the cost of the Ember demon's heals. I think they *should* always reduce all power's endurance usage, but sometimes they're buggy and don't reduce every power they should.
Also, if you put a proc IO in a pet, the proc will only work in powers that could take that kind of proc. Example: A hold proc will only proc from pet powers that cause a hold, slow procs only proc from powers with a slow, def debuff procs only proc from powers with a def debuff. -
Well, apparently IOs are working for toxic resistance on the defender. It's not working for the magic/mutant DOs this guy mostly has. Not sure if SOs are working.
Sounds like an odd bug to have, if it only doesn't work on DOs. Can't test SOs on this guy yet, no one in Guardian chat has tested SOs yet. -
So, I've noticed that although the toxic resistance in Sonic Dispersion and Sonic Barrier aren't labeled as unenhanceable by real numbers, it's not being enhanced for my Sonic Resonance defender.
Just strikes me as odd.
Also odd, this means force field (with 40% unenhanceable toxic resistance on deflection shield) grants more toxic resistance than sonic resonance does (20% from Sonic barrier, 15% sonic dispersion, totals to 35%). -
Quote:If the enemy's hit chance is under 20%, it takes 100 attack attempts before streak breaker intervenes. At 20% chance to hit every 5 attacks on average will hit, at 5% every 20 attacks on average will hit. Streak breaker isn't killing you. Defense is random.Originally Posted by Dz131
I'm soft cap on my shield and I can only farm with no bosses +1/x8 because when I turn on boss autohits eventually blow me up.

Quote:I dunno, psi blast mostly looks like shaped blasts of mental energy. Look dodgeable to me.Originally Posted by UberGuy
Of course, the entire Psi Blast powerset lies outside this thematic explanation, since all of its attacks are, in fact, typed as both Ranged and Psi for defense purposes. This is probably a situation where balance and theme were in conflict - creating an entire blast damage set that bypassed positional defense probably was harder to accept than various mezzes.

Exactly what part of the TOS does this violate? While admittedly I didn't read the whole thing, I scanned through it quickly and didn't see anything that looked like it would prohibit trading outside of the markets.

The alc silvers sound like small potatoes, the costume salvage somewhat better.
Really though, flipping salvage regularly is worth a lot more than saving some and waiting for prices to rise. -

Trucker badge is not required for the Pocket D Beacon. Only the Big Time badge which is available year round. I just double checked this and fixed the wiki page.

I placed the beacons and rearranged the teleporters. Also placed a starter base item (that combo power/control thing) because we were short on control a bit, and it seemed like the quickest/easiest way to get control back. I haven't checked if we have the supercomputer badge to be able to get the second tier control item.
The autonomous expert system plans will come eventually, since the badge is just from dealing damage to enemies. I think current progress is at about 10%ish on that one.
I want a dimensional vortex (top tier magic energy item) eventually, but that seems annoying considering the badge to unlock it is 250 pvp kills. Not something that would be gotten through normal play.
Sure, I doubt we'd ever really need that much power, but it looks cool and we can afford it.
Oh yeah, there's some areas where you have a bunch of items strewn about and stuff and it looks unfinished. Going to finish those spots eventually? -

Quote:I picked up 3 for 26 million in the time he kept a 76 million bid up on the enhancers.Originally Posted by StarGeek
If you want a completed IO, you need to up your bid. There's 32 available on the market, but for about 120 million or so. If you want the recipe, you could have easily gotten it for that price. The last 5 show sales within the past week for 36 to 45 million.

Quote:Why craft em yourself? Put down some bids, walk away, let someone else craft em for you. If you let em sit a bit and put down bids BEFORE you actually need to slot the enhancers you can often get them a good bit cheaper than last 5 sales.Originally Posted by Socorro
Is this significantly more aggravating or slower than acquiring a bunch of Gen. IOs and the required salvage, then crafting them?

Probably not. Note that it's a bots/traps mastermind, so I don't really run out of blue faster on harder fights noticably -- there's just not that much for me to do.
