    I can never figure out why Faultline is with her...
    Cause when she "goes crazy" he doesn't suffer Knockback.

    Jenkins, on the other hand, would be found somewhere in South Africa I bet.

    Basically, think of any mez protection as a negative value - so something that gives you ten mag protection, as a player, sets your mez value for that mez to -10.

    Mezzes add to that, and once you hit more 1 or higher, you're mezzed.

    "I'm sorry, I can't understand a word you're saying could you repeat that?"

    ...thus would have a hard time getting missions since Americans apparently have a hard time understanding a thick scottish accent, even the Brits like meself have trouble with a particularly thick scot accent.
    And some non-plaid kilt options that are not torn to shreds would be nice.
  5. When I think of "Multi-box" concepts, I think of Smurphy and his Nemesis Clone army.

    It was at least 6 Thug/Storm MMs, the MMs made to look like the T1 thugs, and everything named "Nemesis Clone" (the MMs using the I/L tricks).

    It was interesting being teamed with 6 Thug/Storms.

    Actually it's a second copy.

    There are three flags that can be set as to stacking.

    First is Stacks with Everything - this includes same caster and is how most powers work.

    Second is Stacks EXCEPT with same caster - Force Field, Sonic bubbles, Ice and Thermal armors are this way.

    Third is doesn't stack period. Not used much.

    Buffing toggle auras like Against All Odds which have a frontloading work as follows :

    Each "tick" they cast TWO buffs on the caster. One stacks (the minor, per target portion based of nearby enemies) and one doesn't (still based off per target, thus "as long as there is one in range" but it doesn't stack so it's your "base of X +Y per nearby enemy as long as there are enemies within range" - basically methods one and two together.

    And to cover issues like lag/timing issues, each "buff" is slightly longer than the tick so you get the brief overlap.

The third is that only the first costume slot can have the widow or spider pieces (as appropraite).

    Over the years (4) I have logged a number of bug reports for different bits of the game and none of them have ever been fixed.
    First is WAD - Working as designed. As mentioned, they would like to make it work like you apparently do, but would require some heavy coding issues.

    Second one - to clarify - you go to using the insectoid pattern/texture under the regular "Tights" option on a regular costume slot (non-Arachnos-specific) and it ends up defualting to Tights/Smooth when you are done?

    Third one - WAD/WAI - Working as intended.

    By walking. Note, this would make one a crimefighter suited to particular criminals only.

    Part of the issue is the fact that setting would keep resetting. Probably related to thinks like the "Won't keep this thread marked read" issue.

    And at this point get the sued, as I don't see the lawyers approving a "You will be publicly mocked for forum transgressions" exception to the "All punishments kept private" line of the TOS.

Is this another cool bug, or have they removed the ability to have the new animations with shields full stop?
    Known bug.

    Thanks.
    Several Psi attacks do not have a positional (Melee/Ranged/AOE) attack type, so for them, the positional defense doesn't work. Also if you just have high Melee and AoE defense you will be open to AoE typed attacks.

If so then I understand the aspect about drops I wanted to understand.
    Thanks for your time,

    Correct.

    Your welcome.

    I like you. You're silly

    Now, I admit the root cause would most likely be related to such, but who knows where such bugs might spring up.

    Except from what I heard, Walk's power suppression is via the Disable_All flag, and there is no "Click" flag for it to target. So, without going and flagging all the relevant powers in the game, there is no way to achieve the necessary suppression without including toggles.

    And that's why the controller epics were changed a while back - they were using Blaster numbers on the AoEs, IIRC, and yet were containment-enabled (containment merely being a line in every appropriate attack power saying "If target is held/slept/stunned/immoblized do X.XX of Damage")

    Nope, the chance of any of those drops are separate.

    Of course, I could be completely wrong about any of this, and I'm sure someone will correct me if so.
    I want to say that Pool E drops (costume [& temp powers, possibly]) are a separate drop again, so minions could drop an extra recipe.
