You are correct, they are more like ninjas than samurai. However, the post I replied to stated that katanas are ALWAYS worn on the left, to be drawn by the right hand. Not "always by samurai" or anything of the sort - just a flat out ALWAYS.

1> Tell that to the Tsoo, who often carry their Katanas on theire backs.
2> I'm not sure what would look worse: Having the Katana scabbard(s) on the left hip and drawing it from the right hip, using the left hand, or drawing both from the back, over the shoulders, completely ignoring the scabbard in either case.

There is also another instance which shows up rarely. I don't know which bonuses, so I'm gonna make up numbers and sets.

Let's say that Pounding Snailfest gives a 1.5% bonus to Melee defense, and Blessing of the Zepplin gave a 3.0% Lethal defense. When the recent changes happened, Pounding Snailfest became a 1.5% Melee/0.75% Smashing/Lethal, and Blessing of the Zepplin became a 3.0% Smashing/Lethal/1.5% Melee.

After this change, Blessing of the Zepplin is a Ginormous Smashing/Lethal Defense bonus (not a Melee bonus), and Pounding Snailfest is still a Fantabulous Melee Defense bonus (not a Smashing/Lethal bonus), so you can have 5 of each, even though both give 1.5% Melee Defense.

I really wish I could remember which sets were making this show up, but it was tested, and it DOES work.

I've fixed it, and uploaded the fixed version. I'll be damned if I know WHY it's still showing the old version. >_<

What level is the recipe you want to craft? Roll in the range that includes that level. In most cases, it's obvious whether you want arcane or tech. If it's not, well... each tier only holds 6 different commons; once you have six different results from one roll, nothing else will show up. If you don't have what you needed, roll on the other type (Tech->Arcane or Arcane->Tech).

Maybe they're "yelling at you" because you're willfully ignoring what you're being told.

It does

Nobody is getting 5 new pools.

I don't know what "other thread" you're talking about, but the announcement I read was pretty damn clear: We're getting ONE EXTRA POWER in most epic pools that still only have four powers. Scrappers are getting a new APP, bringing them up to four pools - just like most ATs already have.

And that's where most of the growth is likely happening redside.

All four patrons already have pools for all the VEATs. They're not going to take away the existing pools to add new ones for the VEATs. They are likely to get new "fifth powers" in their pools, to differentiate them from the brutes.

Brutes already HAVE 5 powers in all their pools, except Mu Mastery. Many are speculating the addition of Conserve Power. Time will tell.

From the interview:

I really don't see where there's ANY ambiguity in that, myself.

Ancillary = Hero
Patron = Villain
Epic = Both

The only new Epic Set is Blaze Mastery for Scrappers. Most Epics will receive one new power, making it so most have 5 powers to choose, as several already have.

This is WRONG, as per Castle. From YOUR link:

The AMOUNT of the bonus is irrelevant. What is important is the NAME of the bonus. This is why you can get 5 7.5% recharge bonuses PLUS 5 LotG 7.5% recharge bonuses, or 5 each of Karma, Steadfast and Zephyr KB protect.

I agree with Corebreach's assessment: Since the name is different, even if only slightly, it is a different entry in the database, and should stack an additional 5 times, ie 5 for the normal set bonus, 5 for the pvp set bonus.

No it's not. That's one of the ones that functions as a set bonus, and turns off if you exemplar more than 3 levels below the IO.

Always on = Set bonus. Stays on as long as you don't exemplar too low, even if you lose the power it's slotted in.

Turns on when the power is activated (procs, Numina Unique, etc) = Ignores level, activates as often as the power does; is lost if you exemplar below the level of the power it's slotted in (because the power can't be activated).

Don't feel too bad. I fell for the same type of post a few months ago.

To the OP: Just say no to Supradyne. Trolls are bad, m'kay?

If it's a story arc or a badge mission, yes. If it's a stand-alone mission, no.

There's already one chain of badges that you have to team to get, why do we need another?

Did you actually mean to tell him to roll for recipes, list them on the market, and buy them from himself and relist them at a higher price, thereby incurring the market fee twice?

What's the point in doing that?
