How else do you repeat story arcs?

Quote:If reported, it's get generic'd. His only defense also violates the terms of service.Originally Posted by ClawsandEffect
Heard about a guy in the game whose real name is Steve Rogers. He was wondering if he would get in trouble for making a Shield Defense character named after himself. Don't know how it turned out.
(Steve Rogers is the real name of Captain America) -
Note that the bonus 240pp(I think it is) counts towards your next token for purchased PP.
Now, if you bought 2400 PP and this is your first time ever spending money on the game (you've never bought points before, subbed before, or applied a box code before) you should of recieved 3 tokens (and maybe that's what is throwing you off, you bought before and got the) - 1 bonus token for first purchase. -
The Epic power pools (APPs and PPPs) can be taken as early as 35. These don't cout as one of your four power pool choices.
Once you hit 4, you can take power pools (up to four) whenever you get a power pick. Just hit that "Power Pool" bar up on the top to go back to the big list. -
Soon you can put them in the auction house. You can store them in emails and in bases.
And other than other players, it won't be until the next time the event is run most likely. For evidence see "Winter's Gift" -
Quote:Yes. A to-hit debuff is (basically) a to-hit buff with a negative modifier. Anything that affects the power of To-Hit buffs will also affect your debuffs.Originally Posted by Leo_G
But Power Boost also improves debuffs like the -ToHit from my Dark/EM blaster. Does this reduce the effect of foe debuffs too?

Quote:I don't recall it asking for anything I haven't given to other online market places or game studios.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
steam is "good" the way facebook is "good"- it makes a thing that used to require some effort very simple and easy, and all it asks in return is total access to a very valuable resource- your personal information.
Not my scene, but I can see why it's popular. -

Yea, I will avoid playing with players who whine about humorous names because it reduces my enjoyment of the game.
I prefer /petition -
Quote:Stealth is meant for when you are trying to sneak but might get caught anyway. That's why it has the movement penalty and end cost. It allows you to fight back without having to detoggle first. But just because a power can be used in combat doesn't mean it's meant to be.Originally Posted by Tenzhi
Hogwash. Invisibility is the non-combat power. If Stealth weren't meant to be used in combat, it'd be completely redundant.

Other than the fact that occasionally steam won't connect on startup (and when it doesn't default to offline mode which is enabled) I've found steam great. Compared to other DRM platforms its extremely benign and I like the recovery options (aka no discs required to reinstall)

Quote:but not the two character slots - those are now part of freedom (the two freebie slots)Originally Posted by StarGeek
Buy a cheap, *new* copy of Going Rogue from Amazon. You'll get alignment system, Praetoria, a month of VIP, plus a bunch of other unlocks for really cheap, much cheaper than buying it on the paragon market.

Quote:But it's a lot easier to distract people with pictures of kittens and such on the internet.Originally Posted by Organica
The internet's like a bar, people can argue over minor semantic points all day.
Although smart phones are changing that. -
Quote:What I've seen more than anything is a culture of "OH NOE THAT MIGHT AFFEND SOMEONE I AM NOT AND THEREFORE MUST GO!"Originally Posted by Nethergoat
sure they did.
the obvious stuff still got gaffed, but the culture of paranoia over EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY BE CONSTRUED AS EVEN FAINTLY RELATED TO SOMETHING ELSE wasn't present. -
Quote:I thought the default was it only shows your zone when you first hit it with no limiters?Originally Posted by Father Xmas
Hit the search button again. It's been doing that to me as well.

Quote:Did he? The only comment I recall on DP from Hawk lately was that it would either be left alone/ignored in the Blaster Sustainability changes, or "nerfed" and included - but not both.Originally Posted by Snowzone
In a Twitch TV chat Arbiter Hawk said that Drain Psyche wouldn't be nerfed because it's been as it is for a long time and there's no point nerfing old powers at this point in the game's life. This would extend to Hasten, Weave, Seeds of Confusion, etc.
No, it increases the AVAILABILITY, not viability.Quote:Originally Posted by Bronze Knight
The reason Hasten is so useful is because if increases the viability of everything.
Difference there.
Hasten was one of the Day 0 nerfs, as I recall. Maybe THE Day 0 nerf -it used to be perma on one SO.Quote:Originally Posted by Iannis
Jack had a chance to have Geko nerf Hasten back in year 1 (heck, I think some people were saying they NEEDED to) when a lot of unpopular decisions were made (like nerfing /Regen every issue) but he didn't. Nerfing Hasten now would probably just result in a lot of people uninstalling CoX: Freedom because permahasten is built into so many builds. But it is a really stupidly powerful ability.
Stealth's Invisibility would become immensely nice if it had a Quality of Life upgrade to make it an AoE. Stealth the power sure could ditch that old -runspeed component, and please equalize the power upkeep cost to Combat Jumping's level to make it a low-impact bit of bonus +DEF--emphasis on little, since I think half of the value Suppresses in combat. Phase Shift...errrrrr, heh, nerfed to uselessness due to exploitation in lolpvp. I could see Stealth getting a /Nin Smoke Flash type power to ditch enemy aggro.
The era you are talking about saw ED and was pre-IO - they thought it just fine (well, for then. It's always been a eye-on power, I think).
And Stealth isn't meant to be a combat power. That's part of why it's a high-end cost power. -
Quote:They like to fix things right when they can. And while I'm not a programmer, no did I stay in a Holiday Inn last night, but most likely the fix will go and set the min. level to 15 (or 10) for the EOs.Originally Posted by Ogi
I was hoping they had said something about how and when they were going to fix it.
I hope it will be a retroactive fix, but that's best case scenario. -
Quote:Whatever the reason, you were. In every place I've ever been, "FORUMNAME, welcome to my ignore list" has been considered rude AND a form of trolling. That is what I was referring to.Originally Posted by Tempus Fugitive
I was not being rude. I was defending myself from posts which later got deleted. My question has been answered several times and I am fully satisfied. Thank you all for your concern.

Quote:Desdemona is quite alive.Originally Posted by Xzero45
Thanks, fixed. Both are intangible characters, anyway.
You're thinking of Either Ghost Widow (Primal Belladonna V) or Numina. -
Quote:It does obey the Rule of Five.Originally Posted by Thirty-Seven
While we are discussing nerfs to Recharge... a great way to fix the IO side of things would be to put the LotG +Rech bonus in the same category of other similar sized bonuses to force it to obey the Rule of 5... and not be in some special category by itself.
What you are wanting to do is simply remove it's uniquely named bonus and make it a generic Large(?) Recharge Bonus. -
Quote:If the UI says five minutes, it's has no data, basically. So it won't be just five minutes.Originally Posted by Agent White
Never ever listen to the average wait time.
If you're not getting in via jumping into the queue, then just pre-form. It only takes 3. Or announce in LFG you're queued, usually prompts more folks to jump in
If it's listing 1 minute, you will probably enter right away. -
Quote:They also added mez protection (and made it usable while mezzed) to Domination.Originally Posted by Live_Wyre
They seem to be covering the numbers. The other part of your question depends on how long you have been gone. They gave doms a general damage boost across the board to standardize the non-perma/perma gap in damage. They removed the damage boost away from domination along with this. So perma now doesn't mean you go from sub par, to broken. It is still a huge boon in the control department and carries its other bonuses to my knowledge. Also, psi got tweaked so it was a more balanced set and not completely relying on shockwave. If you were here for those, I do not believe there were more changes and I am unsure of the changes before then.

Quote:It only contains part of his name because of the fact it's in the title of something he is linking.Originally Posted by MisterD
It is rather ironic that Dech's own sig is about 10 times more intrusive than simply ending a post with a name..and ALSO contains 'Dechs'...so he is guilty of the very thing he is moaning about.
And it isn't quoted. -

Only VIPs can send out referral codes.

I've not seen any change, really, in how they handle genericing people.
The lawsuit really didn't change anything, just ended with the game continuing to do what it was doing. -

I was asking if water was similar to ice in being able to affect fires. Not if it did cold damage. I do know the mechanics of the game TYVM. Techbot and Agent White, welcome to my ignore list.
Tempus, please don't be rude.
Only two powers in the game are flagged to do special damage to fires - and that is the two extinguisher powers. Mechanically, Ice simply does damage to fire because it deals cold damage. Just like Dual Pistols will when Cyro Ammo is selected.
