And here i thought price inflation was related to inf being generated far faster than the things you buy with it.

Keep in mind he thought that most players would not notice a 25% reduction in hitting enemies. Including the people who created the programs and formulas he was using. Twenty. Five. Percent.

No worries. Someone else might look at this thread and learn about the Paragon Wiki. Besides, asking other players for answers to questions is the entire point of this section.

Hell, you can even leave the slots empty if you want.

Mirror, mirror, on the net,
whose face did you just get?

i do a sort of flipping on some alts when i'm putting together their builds but i'm not in a hurry. i'll bid on the pieces i want at about 2/3 to 1/2 the average price and place bids on a few more than i need of each item. Then i periodically check my bids on the alt and any excess pieces get relisted somewhere between what i paid and whatever is the average price. Although it's a very slow flipping, sometimes taking over a week, i usually end up at the very least tripling my initial stake in the process of IOing the build. Which is kind of funny when i think about it. Since i have nearly as much value put into the build as well.

Don't forget you can combo most keys with shift+ and alt+...

/bind shift+t "localtime"

GG only answers questions that she can shrug off with glib, superficial remarks. Any question that requires any sort of depth or serious response will be ignored as if it was never asked. It's even more obvious in this thread than usual.

If we're going to split hairs tohit is an attribute that a character has, and accuracy is an attribute each attack has. You multiply your character's tohit by the power's accuracy. Two separate but closely related attributes.

Seriously.

One more try at phrasing it so that it will be understood...

All entities have a base chance to to hit. It in fact is called "tohit". Most NPC entities have a .50 (50%) tohit. Players have a .75 (75%) tohit. You can increase your tohit value with powers like Aim, Tactics, Build Up, etcetera, and also through temp powers and some set bonuses.

All powers have an accuracy rating. Called accuracy. Most of the time it is 1, but not always; some powers are autohit and don't use an attack roll at all, and some have a lower or higher starting value. On slottable powers the accuracy can usually be increased.

Now, when you attack something the server makes an attack roll. The target number for that attack roll is your current tohit value multiplied by the current accuracy of whatever power is being used to attack.

Now, a player with the standard tohit of .75 is attacking using an unslotted power with a base accuracy of 1.0.

.75 times 1.0 gives you your final chance to hit the target assuming an even con target with no defense. That chance to hit the target is 75%.
If your accuracy was really .75 you'd multiply it by your .75 tohit to get 56%.

The final number that determines an attack's chance to hit is that power's accuracy multiplied by your tohit.
Accuracy is not the final number used to determine your ability to hit with an attack. Accuracy is what you multiply your tohit by to determine the actual % chance to hit with an attack.

*sheesh*
i'm not a math wizard by any means, and even i understand this.

Discussion? Other people point out research that raises questions, suggest possible scenarios, point out that it's a fictional setting with canon that has multiple examples of de facto human level machine intelligences, or ask for a useful definition of terms you claim prove your point and you simply reply, "I'm right because I know I'm right, which therefore proves my position is true." You have yet to offer any sort of logical argument, evidence, or even a concrete definition of your terms, and you think that you're contributing anything to a discussion? Interesting.

i don't see how. As it is i'll tend to run out of room during missions and just delete stuff i consider less valuable to make room for new drops. Further reducing my capacity will just reduce the amount i bring to the market.

This.

As has already been covered caps do not improve anything.
Especially since the market is already capped.

Just a point here... That's because scientists generate theories based on the best currently available evidence. As better evidence or theories are discovered and tested the less valid theories are discarded in favor of the better theories. Rarely are theories proven completely invalid; usually they end up being modified, sometimes very extensively, to incorporate new evidence and knowledge. Still, on the occasion a theory is proven completely wrong it's through using the scientific method, not a popularity contest.

Science is one of the only approaches to explaining the world that can and will say, "Hey, this new evidence proves that how we thought something worked is completely wrong. Time to revise the theory to fit the facts." Of course that doesn't always happen immediately, and some scientists have altered evidence to fit their theories, after all scientists are people too, but other scientists review the findings and attempt to duplicate them in order to verify the assertions.

It's a rather romantic notion that there are outsider scientists who have brilliant theories that are being denied or covered up by the "Scientific Establishment". The thing is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If your results use sloppy methodology or can't be reproduced by other scientists then they aren't accepted. The other thing that makes the worldwide conspiracy of scientists suppressing subversive knowledge theory silly is that scientists come from countries and cultures all over the world. There is little to no chance that scientists as a whole would all agree on hiding a particular discovery. Hell, even in a single country not all scientists agree on the approach to anything.

Good suggestion. Now to to pick an easy to remember key that i don't already regularly use for binds. Maybe a shift+ key.

Just became even more relevant.

i can understand being utterly ignorant of developments in the real world regarding machine intelligence and how minds function, and even comic book conventions in that regard, but it's how GG proudly trumpets her total inability to provide any reasoning at all as proof of the correctness of her assorted faiths* that provides so much facepalm material in these threads. Hell, her assertions about machine intelligence contradict almost all relevant lore in the real and fictional, especially comic book fictional, worlds.



*If the only support you provide for a position comes down to "I know it's true because it just is" then your contribution to almost any discussion is noise with no signal. Also, believing something is true with no proof is the definition of faith.
...i'm stating the obvious again, aren't i?

Much like humans aren't cats or dogs, and thus can't relate to them. Got it.

Quoted from a different site discussing a different topic, but it seemed germane somehow.
