A single -KB proc should take care of around 90% knockback powers you'll run into.

Yeah, same issue here. I can send it as long as the name, global or otherwise, only has one word, but otherwise the email simply ends up... somewhere.

You're right, the word I should have used was defended against, since I can only think of Carnies in that regard, as robots of all kind tend to resist psi heavily. Still, I don't see my corruptor shooting ghost wizard bullets.

Actually, on second thought, that would be kinda cool.

Added:

Replace Cosmic Balance's buff from EATs into a recharge buff or something similarly useful. Recharge debuff resistance, which is the buff it currently gives, has a remarkably narrow niche compared to other broad-application buffs the inherent grants {damage, resistance and status protection}.

In the difficulty options, in addition to enemy level shift and size, add an option to adjust ambush sizes. In addition to providing more gameplay customizability, it would likely also reduce complaints about ambush-happy content such as Praetorian arcs.

In the buff status display, add an option where right-clicking an icon would, in addition to "hide autopowers", stacking, etc, provide an option to hide visual effects from that power. This would probably reduce complaints about effects-intensive buffs, such as flame and ice armor, obscuring character costumes.

Add an option to either hide the team window while solo or lock/hide the comment field. As it is, it's remarkably easy to click on the text field in the middle of combat, leading to a variation of postmortem "123123sssdddwww" chat messages.

Modified Chat section, point 2: Implement a serverwide teaming channel and add it either to the default chat tab or a separate one on character creation, as is done for Help. Cannibalize the Architect Chat channel if necessary. This is going to become a major issue once CoH: Freedom hits, as an absence of an "official" teaming channel will leave Help channel as the only possible option for Freem players to solicit teams in.

How about a much, much simpler solution?

At Lv2, grant an inherent toggle power that gives you -100 to knockback. No cost, no recharge, no animation time and so on. Don't want knockback? Turn it on. Want it? Turn it off.

For a more complicated version, how about a mechanic that has an XX% chance to do knockback on all affected mobs?

Is there any more information how that will work? Especially from the technical perspective?

Because if they're planning to implement a way to link in-game dialogue with sound file resources, I'm imagining a giant player-driven voice acting supplementation.

And it looks glorious.

Well, there's a sucker born every minute, and I don't want to be late.

I wager one thousand Lv50 damage IOs that Statesprat bites it.

Meh, I'm not gonna blow up the whole world over it, but it's still kinda annoyin'.

Can you tell me how often it pulses, then, and how long each "hit" lasts? I'm not planning to use it as a damage power, or a set mule; with an AR primary, the only time I spend in melee range is when I need to pop a Drain Psyche.

For what it's worth, had it happen twice, both times while "switching screens" - once while entering the tailor mode and once while clicking to train.

Well, to be fair, a lot of TFs don't need an eight-man team either. Thanks for the link, though.

Also, on a tangent, will a base-based pillar work for starting a flashback, even if not all team members happen to be Lv25 or higher?

I don't think it should be an issue. Given the context, the "don't sell power" argument seems to refer more to shortcuts, rather than earned rewards. Thus, while Freems would not be able to attain incarnate abilities, Vreems will still need to work their way into them. Thus the difference still seems to focus on gating content, rather than power.

Namely, is it worth taking? From what I can look up, it pulses once every four seconds for a duration of one second - if that's true, then even triple-slotted with confuse enhancements, it'll be impossible to keep anything mezzed, and the long pulse interval makes it sound too unreliable to use defensively either. So, I'm curious whether my numbers are wrong, my tactics are, or should I just spec out of it?

How do they compare? I've been thinking about starting up regular flashback PUGs for the hell of it, but considering the... convenience issues surrounding flashback mode, I'm worried whether or not any prospective teammates would find it a worthwhile exercise.

From what I can tell, CoH chat input supports Unicode characters, though if you use them in /beginchat, it tends to bug out the input field.
