Trying to decide on a patron pool on a new toon I was wondering if the new customization options will allow us to change colors on patron pets too? It would make a differences in which pool I take because I don't really need any more powers after 38.

Quote:They are using the search window. Paragon Wiki for more info: http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Search_WindowOriginally Posted by Mister Rik
I've hunted all over my game settings and interface, looking for a way to list all online characters (or at least those in my current zone), and I'm coming up empty.
Not that I actually have a personal use for this feature. I'm just assuming it must exist judging by some of the scenarios in which I receive blind team invites or whispers:
• I log into the game, my character is inside a building, and there are no other characters present. Nobody can see me, yet I'll get a blind invite within 10 seconds of logging in.
• Standing in front of an ICON employee working on my costume. I would assume that if another player actually spotted me there, they would know that I can't see the invite popup or my chat window while I have the costume creator interface up, and that I'm probably not going to back completely out of the costume creator (and lose my changes) just to see what that little beep was about.
• Flying at high speed through a zone and, as a result, being hard to click on, or even read my name as I go by, and getting invite popups.
So I have to assume people are seeing my character on some list and they're inviting me from there. Where the heck is this list?

Quote:I think there will be one more thing in Praetoria... A trial for Hami and the unlock of the Genesis slot with it using Advanced Physical iXP. I would guess it would be issue 24. That plus Nature Affinity and Bio Armor seems to be a pretty consistent theme for an issue.Originally Posted by Montaugh
I think we have seen the end of Preatoria though. From the way I read what Prometheus said about Tyrant and the Magi trial it was pretty much clear that we are done with Preatoria and all efforts should be going to focus for the Battalion.

Quote:Actually, I don't see the human thing being an obstacle. When the Well of the Furies pulled him into Praetoria, it changed his appearance to blend in. This helps protect him from the champions of other Wells.Originally Posted by NightErrant
It would work if you weren't a human. Also, the death bit is kind of iffy. Dying typically means absorption into the Collective Potential, but there's a difference between death and "death". Ghost Widow is clearly still connected to the well, and player incarnates die repeatedly during the Dilemma Diabolique and Magisterium trials. The Dream Doctor has True Rez as a spell like ability provided he can catch the soul in time.

This is the CoH forums... you will find certain posters love to go on and on and on... to prove they are "right." Often semantics of the meaning of simple words enter the conversation, but thankfully shortly (2-10 pages later) the "debate" will die. Nothing you did...just unfortunately the nature of the beast - forum pvp.

Quote:Just speculation of course, but I think we will be at 50+5 once the current slots are done. I'd guess incarnate shifts for both Mind and Vitae and a full level shift for Omega. No reason reason but symmetry and a gut feeling.Originally Posted by Chad Gulzow-Man
Have later trials drop more salvage, with a salvage roll after every major confrontation? Allow Common and Uncommon salvage as rare drops from combat in later trials? Have "Advanced Incarnate Shifts" tied to the new slots that only function in the new trials to keep people from "outlevelling" the existing trials?

Quote:Melee has a taunt component and buff bonus based on enemies around you. This is getting you noticed.Originally Posted by CinnderScot
I got the Melee Genome for my stalker, since he's usually up close and personal, and now I find when it's toggled on and I line up an assassination, the mobs suddenly turn and start attacking. I look at my status and find that I'm unhidden before even completing my attack. (Doesn't happen when it's toggled off.)
Is this supposed to be happening? I.e. I shouldn't turn it on till after my stealth strike? Or maybe I should consider Assault for this char instead?
Also, does this power count the regen boost from nearby foes as "hits" that use End per enemy like Disrupt? Because with it turned on this char's Endurance is going faster than hotcakes.

Quote:Surprisingly, my friends, being other people, have things going on in real life and vice-versa that means we are not always on at the same time as each other. Unless your friends are you (and you can't friend yourself in this game), I would guess the same is true for you. /sarcasmOriginally Posted by I Burnt The Toast
What I don't get is the whole "No I loves my server with all my friends - it's just hard to find teams." Uhmm where are all your friends? Seems a tad contradictory.
Anywho, it is those times that I would love to have cross-server teaming. When they are offline and I would like to do a bit of teaming.

Quote:Because the ATs (let alone powersets within the ATs) are not balanced power-wise making something more difficult for those at the higher end, only makes it that much more difficult + the difficulty they had before which is not fun either. This leaves the designer two choices nerf (for those with more power) or increase power (for those with less). Both have pluses and minuses. Increasing the power of those with less instantly reduces the difficulty of everything forcing you to increase the difficulty across the board. Most most don't complain about more power. Nerfing targets those with more power alone. But, risks the user's ire.Originally Posted by Zyphoid
I will never understand the idea of nerfing, or how it creates more fun. :/ The game can be made more difficult w/o taking away things people enjoy.

Quote:Because I want to stay on Nebula. That's where my friends are. They just don't happen to be on right now and I want to run a TPN. Doesn't seem to be much interest on here at the moment. It would be awesome if some folks from the other servers are interested and we could go (even if each of our servers individually doesn't have enough interest). No sense in doing 2 transfers (even at a reduced cost) for one trial. Especially, considering I could lose the name of the character I have had for 8 years because of some usurper on Freedom (or even Nebula if some grabs it while I'm gone) for 1 session.Originally Posted by ThatGuyThere
Nope, okay, see, right there is my disconnect.
Let's say I'm on Nebula, the "nobody's here" server. (See? You've never even heard of it, that's how few people are on Nebula!) I want to team. I click "Transfer to Other Server", make my choice, and within moments, bam. Teams. Invites. Costume Contests. More players than I can shake an Endurance bar at.
I have my bit of fun, and when I'm done, if I want, I click, "Go Home", and bam, I'm back to Nebula and solo-style play.
That seems like a lot less coding for the Devs than "cross server teaming", but accomplishes about 95%+ of the same things in my mind.
It does vastly reduce the "server transfer token" use, but wouldn't cross-server teaming mostly do that anyway?
Again, I'm not trying to be difficult. I honestly feel like I'm some sort of blind fool, who can't see how obviously awesome cross-server teaming is, because I can't think it's much more than "free unlimited server transfers".
Memphis_Bill - Valid points, I suppose. But again, those can be addressed by making those properties "sticky" when you click "transfer to other server" button.
The best solution, have the LFG be cross server to resolve just this situation. Basically, want it comes down to is that server transfers are not a solution to team building on lower population servers. Instead are great for permanent moves. They are a solution to a different issue, the desire to change the server a character resides on (which granted could be because someone dislikes that they are on a low population server because teaming is more difficult).
Now to address the part I bolded. What you are describing is a possible implementation of cross-server teaming if you come down to it. Like you said it accomplishes most of what is desired (though I would put it at a lower percentage). But, IMO, an inelegant simply for the sake being "easier" on the development team and one that is significantly more burdensome on the user. So, you might be thinking what are the burdens. I'll tell you. Rather than bebopping along on Nebula which in the queue maybe organizing over the LFG channel and starting once we have enough, your system requires me to do the follow.
1) Know all of the server global channels on which Trials and TFs are organized on and subscribe to them. Heaven help you if you are a freem or fremium without access to Globals. Obviously, in my scenario I do since I am clearly a VIP looking for an iTrial.
2) Either keep tabs on each one to determine what if anything is forming or organize it myself possibly on each server depending on luck that some one is interested in a TPN.
3) Log out to character select.
4) Do the transfer.
5) Wait for the transfer to complete
6) Get to the launch zone
7) Do the trial
8) Go home.
Why is cross teaming awesome compared to what is possible even today? Because it does not get in my way.

OMG, THIS!!
Why do trollers DO this? Really, what possess them to spam AoE immobs? There are half dozen very good reasons NOT to use this except in select situations, and yet on every team, there seems to be an immob-happy troller totally oblivious to the fact that this is not helping any team past level 12. Aarrgh!
Understand, I say this as one who loves to play Controllers most of all.

Quote:I know you "ruled it out" but, I think willpower might be a best secondary with electric melee. It is essentially her will keeping her avatar alive not needing anything or anybody else. Rise to the Challenge reflects the corrupting aspect (even if it is a minor aspect); Strength of Will reflects that extra push of power she can draw as you described upthread; Resurgence for that can't kill her aspect.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
The real kicker is Praxis should, theoretically speaking, not need anything. As I mentioned before, she is a higher being that exists beyond the bounds and limits of our entire reality, and was powerful enough to damn near overwhelm the entire race of creatures which made everything. She doesn't need anything but to be free, and any people she corrupts along the way are just obstacles removed.
I'd do Electric/Willpower/Pyre. The vitures of electric already spelled out. Fire is just destructive and chaotic. The powerset combo is a hodgepode of basically cosmic forces which is what you seem to be describing. -

Yup. Servers are up, Zwill is on Virtue AP tossing around that new disc power, and the two hours I stayed up after my wife went to bed repositioning alts and getting all the various IOs I want to convert on characters with appropriate resources to work with them appear to have been wasted.
Which I wouldn't mind so much, if I weren't sick with a sinus infection.
But I'm fairly annoyed.

Quote:It works like this. There is a +1 level shift (this applied anytime). There are 2 +1 incarnate shifts (these are applied during incarnate content only - i.e. the trials and, after today, DA). They do all stack but, it depends on the context whether it is applied.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
It seems a friend and I were discussing level shifts and one of us is clearly misinformed about how they work.
I had always understood that you get an extra level with the relevant shifting powers, so you can shift to 50+3.
However he seems to think that you can only be level 50+1 - in other words, no matter how many level shifts you have you still only get +1.
That seems rather odd to me - it disincentivises any reason to get the other level shifts, and counter to my experience, but I figured I'd consult the oracle and see what it brings.
