  1. Are you sure the KoA have +Perception? I thought they had cheat-perception like the drones. Or did they originally have that, then get changed to regular +Perception?

    Anyway - I recall hearing that originally, Drones where set to ignore stealth due to an issue with not being able to ignore stealth nicely or something, but I cannot recall where I heard that.

    And they didn't want people to be able to slot up to six of the things (Five prestige sprints plus sprint).

If you slotted six Entropic Chaos/Scirocco's Dervish sets you would only get a 50% regeneration bonus. However if you replaced one of the Entropic Chaos sets with a Devastation set you would get a 62% regeneration bonus since the 12% bonus from Devastation will stack with the 5 10% bonuses from Entropic Chaos/Scirocco's Dervish.
    Law of Five at the Wiki

    Technically, it's not the amount, it's the name of the bonus.

    If you open up your powers window, and on the Jelly-bar at the top click "Combat Attributes" and look in there, you will notice the set bonuses have names such as "Large Defense Bonus", etc.

    You can have up to five of each.

    For most instances, it's just the same, but with the Luck of the Gambler Global Recharge IO, we have a 7.5% Recharge bonus that's labeled under it's own name, and not the name for a normal 7.5% recharge bonus.

    As I recall, also, the Global IOs that give KB protection each have their own names for the "set bonus" they grant - so technically you could have Five Karmas and five steadfasts, etc. and benefit from the KB protection of ten of them.
  5. This is hardly a necro-post. It's still within the first two weeks, much less month, of the last posting!

When NCSoft set the fees for CoH, they would have taken those percentages into account.

    In the US if you go into a store and ask "debit or credit" and you reply with "it doesn't matter" or "whichever is easier," they will nearly always pick debit because debit cards don't charge the fee. (If they pick credit, it's likely an employee training issue.)
    I know where I work, if it's Visa or MC, it's something like a 2.5$ fee. Discover is 3-3.5%, and Amex is outrageous (which is why we don't do them, 5+%, I think). If we en up being charged on debit transactions, it's $0.50, never more. So we prefer debit (as we deal with hot tubs and pool tables, where the cheap end is 1,300, so those percents add up.) but we also charge a visa/mc/discover fee for payments over $500
  8. That almost looks like a Roomba about to run him over

    Happy puppy training.

    As long as it's constructive, give feedback away. Negative or positive.

    But remember, "It Sucks" isn't constructive feedback at all.

    Note, sometimes (like ED, for example) the developers have come up with something that *will* happen. Now, unless you come up with something (say, ED somehow instead of soft-capping enhancement bonuses made them roll-over and start back at zero) on those that would totally screw up the game (not totally change, aka ED or PvPi13) then don't try to get it canned. Post ideas maybe to lesson the impact, etc, but don't try to get them to not do it. To do otherwise can lead to beta ejection and outright forum banning because those who have done so in the past tend to end up like rabid dogs.

    Unless:

    You are fighting signifigantly purple mobs - after +7 levels, I think it is, mobs get a To-Hit bonus alongside their Accuracy Bonus.

    You are fighting mobs with To-Hit bonuses - Tactics, vengeance, etc. This increases the mobs To-hit, thus the amount of defense needed to soft-cap vs. affected mobs

    You are fighting mobs that give Defense Debuffs. If you are over the soft cap, and they take away some of your defense, you are more likely to still be at the soft cap in the end.

    Those are the three basic situations that make having over-the-top defense useful.

    I think it might be because they don't have a space set up to store the uploaded images. Which I can understand, as they do add up.

    That same tag you just used to embed the image? Use that in your signature. The Image Uploader does not work.
  13. You can try something along the lines "I deleted the wrong character by accident" in a support request.

    Not saying they will undelete, but that is the only way.
  14. You can try working this:
    http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Target_c...(Slash_Command)

    You can have it find partial names, which is the best for an easy "Find boss" method that there is.

    I laugh at a few I see, including the guy I work with. Found out about the hanky code due to an old friend with hobby for finding out information about sex topics.

    Back when I was more innocent, he once name a picture I was trying to mention someone showed me in chat based off my shudders and look of revulsion.

    ?!? Mid's ?!?

    They did have a new version out for a little bit but it had some sort of massive flaw, so it got pulled until that could be fixed.

  18. As I recall, the devs have mentioned that basically 40-50 is meant take as long if not a tad bit longer than 1-40, but 40-50 doesn't "ramp up" the time/xp needed.

    It is.

    And I just added "test server" and "install" as tags.

    The other thing is, make sure before resuming the download to delete any files with checksum in their name - this will be inside the main folder where the CoHupdater.exe, etc, are.
  20. All I can tell you is their trend is to release things on Tuesdays.

    Issues do tend to buck the trend, but about all you can say about them is a) they will NEVER release an issue on a Friday (note, boxed expansions might be different, I know they wanted CoV on Halloween, for example, and that was a working weekend for the devs), and b) even more than patches they don't like releasing issues on Mondays. It gives them that one day to look over everything before releasing it AFTER having two days for their minds to cleanse of work toxins.

    Victory has a larger Euro/UK population, last I heard, so that would be why Victory would get 3rd place in the morningish times.
  22. That's how mine is.

    I guess you could also use an image...

  24. To make a broadcast macro

    /macro MacroName "b <message>"

    Please note the buttons on your power this creates only shows about four letters, max, for the name field.

    And do not use "/b <message>" as that will not work.

    Noob Help

    Here we prefer the term "newb" when referring to people new to the game. noob/n00b is derogatory, and refers to people unable to learn and so might even be 60 month vets but just don't get basic things.
