Quote:Well, that temp power is different. In beta, it would be broke/fixed/broke/fixed/broke/fixed/broke/fixed/broke/fixed/broke/fixed depending on the patch.Originally Posted by Blood_Beret
So we fix the badge and not the MM Temp power? -

POSSIBLY This. Isn't Stone Mallet customizable through the power cust system and NOT the weapon cust system?

Quote:Why would you need to translate "I'm too lazy to form my own team"to "I'm too lazy to form my own team"? Is there some stress I'm missing?Originally Posted by Westley
See, your problem is when you hear that, you don't automatically translate that to "I'm too lazy to form my own team" like I do.

Doesn't matter too much for me, I will give advice if they are doing something wrong either way :P Or rather, doing something that isn't working out quite right.

I don't work all week, and you do the test two hours after I leave for work tomorrow...
Absolutely horrible event *nods*.
Hope the testing goes smooth

Well, in the mean time I got the official word, and the name Arthur is indeed banned because of copyright issues.
While I understand NCSofts vision on this and don't blame them for enforcing it, I think it's utter bull that someone. copyrights,trademarks, whatever legal term you want, a common name. A character yes I can understand. But a name?
Nothing I can do about that but still. -

Could also be the addition of the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz. No patch notes, so one could only guess.
Actually, to avoid IP infringement issues, they are lift-assisted gliding small primates. -
The only buy-able pre-25 SOs are in the Faultline unlockable store, Mr. Yin's Market. There is 1 type of SO (Damage, Recharge, etc) per origin.
Level 15 IOs are pretty much the same/better than DOs, and won't expire unlike DO's or SOs. At those levels, I mostly go for Globals and procs, but I will make some to get the nice set bonuses too, especially if I get the recipe as a drop. -

Actually, it IS wrong, as purposefully circumnavigating any of the filters is considered grounds for disciplinary action up to and including permanent account banning.Quote:Originally Posted by Heraclea
When the game refused to allow me to promote one of my first-rank ninjas named Saddam to a second rank minion bearing the same name, because the name had been apparently banned in the interim, I ended up calling that character Saddam. with a period. This would appear to be enough to get around it.
Since Arthur is an ordinary name (for that matter, so is Saddam) and it's unlikely that a ninja, thug, mercenary, zombie, or robot can be made to look like the PBS character, you are doing no wrong by evading this. -

Quote:Twice, I think. If that.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
They were allowing anyone to change their names for any reason. They allowed PK to change his name (or rather, changed PK's name for him) like four times, or maybe it was only two.
Just remember, they are not going to go nuts with this since it now requires a CSR to do the actual change. So make sure you want to keep it (for a while, at least). -

Am I the only one who saw this and thought immediately..."Or maybe sharks with laser weapon mounts?"
...And now that I think of it, since water can slow bullets to harmlessness, why the heck would armed cops put a moat there? Hm. On second thought, I'm over thinking this. -

What is the story behind them being there?

Pretty sure you need a space between "beginchat" and "/send"
Also, you can try swapping in "startchat" I think, sometimes it works different. -
Quote:Except, he didn't call it just a perception issue.Originally Posted by Cardiff_Giant
Yeah, I read that when he posted it.
But there's no way in hell they're gonna say "fixed a bug in the drop rate that's been in since I9 but only recently found - due to recent increased scrutiny... and we finally found it - but only after we called it just a "perception issue."

Thought I would chime in here and let you know what we've done to test this. The data has been checked, the code has been checked. There has been no change to either. That said, none of us would be satisfied until we tested this for ourselves. I knew this issue would haunt my dreams until I dedicated some time to testing. So, I went and did some pretty comprehensive testing today. Both internally and on the training room.
[...]
So, for the time being I am calling this a perception issue, that said I will keep an eye on this. If there is in fact a bug at work here then there will be reproducible steps one could take to get this bug to happen to anyone. If anyone does in fact nail down possible repro steps for this bug, please PM me or post them in the forums.

He specifically called "for now" because he realized that even if he didn't stumble up it, it might be real. And he did keep an eye on it - and it turned it there was something. -
Quote:Although, to be fair - some powers give global +ACC.Originally Posted by Master-Blade
ToHit affects your player as a whole. Accuracy is part of the power itself.
If you increase the Accuracy of a power, then that power has a higher chance of "hitting", whereas if you increase your ToHit, then ALL* your powers wil have a greater change of "hitting".
*except for powers that "ignore buffs"
The main difference is how they affect your character.
To Hit is the value compared/subtracted by your target's defense (and then set to min. 5% and a max of 95%). The resulting number is multiplied by the power's accuracy mod - so +To-Hit is always more effective than +ACC if you have a choice.

I just wanted to let you know you can probably stop recording data, a fix for this should be making its way to the training room fairly soon. Your drop analysis there, when this patch hits the training room, would be very useful. Thanks for everyone's diligence, and believe it or not the bug had nothing to do with team size, what map you were on, whether you were in taskforce mode or not or anything else mentioned in this thread.

It rains and snows in LOTRO, has no discernable effect on gameplay, and is fantastic for atmosphere. That's all I want. The vigilante perched on the roof in the rain at night is an iconic comic image. It doesn't have to be fancy or leave reflective puddles or have particles or require a triple-SLI to take advantage of.
Other people have talked of having issues with weather systems in all games, before. -
Quote:However, I do believe that it's 90 days and level 5 or lower.Originally Posted by Ironblade
Small quibble. This is no longer true. They made a formal announcement that there was a new policy in place that they could run it at any time with no warning or notice before or after the fact.
Any changes to the qualifications would be announced prior to them being run.
So for the name purges, if the character is level 6 or more it's safe for now and any change in the "rules" of the purge will be announced, giving you notice. -
Quote:Oh, gotcha.Originally Posted by Golden_Avariel
That's what I said. The 1-5 was the old setting # and the rest was the new equivalent with the first number being the level adjustment. I think the number of people (here's where my assumptions come in) under the old system would be +1 or +2 over the actual number of people in your team.
That relative adjustment on number of people under the old system was why I was kind of hoping that setting myself to "2 standard heroes" would be the same as +1 over actual team size. Otherwise I don't think there is a way under the new system to duplicate the effect the old options 2 & 4 had on 8-man teams.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
No, as far as I know there isn't, because you get the "count me as X heroes" OR the actual team size, whichever is bigger. -
