Hey guys,
Thanks to your feedback we believe we have tracked down the cause of this lag (we did something weird with Leagues), we're working to get this resolved on the live servers as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience, understanding, and most of all your feedback on this situation. -
Quote:Obviously you didn't consult with Shadowe, who has already informed us that it's not a bug or technical issue, but is how the Trial is supposed to work. Therefore you must be mistaken about a fix being in the works since it's not broken in the first place. i know this because random forumites are far greater authorities on the game than a simple red name.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
This is an accurate statement. We actually have a fix in the works, the timing of implementation was something that we considered at risk enough that we are rescheduling it.
Or maybe it's the 10.75 hours i worked today making me a bit loopy. Brain and muscles so sore now. *staggers off* -
Quote:How can you say that? The Commander in Chief already said he's guilty. They'll get around to the formality of having a trial soon enough.Originally Posted by JKCarrier
What Manning allegedly did. He hasn't been tried yet. And the UCMJ also has a few things to say about how prisoners are to be treated.
And, sure, he may have been treated in a very unpleasant fashion for the last several months, but does a guilty man deserve less?
Next you'll be claiming that imprisoning and torturing foreigners for years based on nothing more than the accusations of their neighbors makes them a risk for attacking the US if released. They're evil or they'd know that the US' superior moral position in the world makes anything we do justified and accept what happened to them as being necessary.
Like, Obitus said, the crimes do get uncovered, and those who committed them punished. (Well, with a number of exceptions, like ordering torture or following those orders.) Sometimes the crimes are uncovered many decades after all the principles involved are dead, but gosh we can still give their tombstones a stern talking to. -

Pro-tip: Slot empty clips with five damage procs.

Quote:This. Procs don't care whether a power's secondary effect activates or not, which is how the ability to switch ammo types functions. Procs check when the power itself is activated.Originally Posted by Biowraith
I'm fairly sure the procs will go off no matter which version of Swap Ammo you're currently running. All the game cares about is whether the power can be slotted for that type of enhancement, not whether it actually produces the effect or not.

Quote:*heh* You say "can" like you might lose people. If you do more than two jumps in a row it's effectively guaranteed you will lose people based on my experiences with the power. If you try to use Team Teleport as a travel power it has regular Teleport's short hover duration, so if you try waiting for all your teammates to appear after a jump anyone without a flight power will probably drop out of range of the power and if you use it immediately anyone who hasn't matched your position yet will get left behind.Originally Posted by Johnny_Taxibot
Team Teleport is more of a tactical tool for your team, such as performing a coordinated strike on a specific foe. However, be wary of firing off a string of teleports in a row, since lag can cause you to lose people.
-Johnny
Other than Masterminds or primarily melee teams there are few times when it's even useful for coordinated strikes. It's a very situational power at best.
Fleeting_Whisper, you forgot about the Summon Teammates temp power granted for completing Steel Canyon Mayhem and Safeguard missions. It has a much shorter recharge time than Assemble the Team, but only lasts for 24 hours of play time. -
Short answer: Bug.
Long answer: It's a bug. -
Concise answer: If a power can be slotted to enhance an effect then an Alpha Boost can enhance that effect. If a power cannot be slotted to enhance an effect then an Alpha Boost cannot enhance that effect.

i'm looking forward to the list merge. i intend to transfer a few 50s to the EU servers. i like having a 50 on most servers so that i can team with friends regardless of server or level.

Nice. A week of years. Here's hoping we get at least a month of them.

Would it be better to autopower Healing Aura, or Clear Mind.
Now, personally, I prefer HA, because it affects everyone. CM only affects 1 person. And personally, I'd rather be healed and held, than not healed and not held.
My current style of play is to autopower HA, and use CM as I can. I also autofollow the tank.
So the other day, I was playing my healer, and I asked a simple question of my teammates: Would it be better to autopower Healing Aura, or Clear Mind. Boy, the responses I got!
"Why don't you push buttons instead?"
I do, but if I have an autopower, why not use it. You use yours, don't you?
"I would rather you didn't rely on autopower."
I'm not relying on it; I have five different healing powers, I do not rely on any one of them.
"Nobody's gonna be near enough to you"
I also have Heal Other, with a range enhancement.
"Why do you have Aim, you only have one Ranged attack?"
What difference does that make? Good for you, you were able to view my ID info. It's still my character to build. Neither power, of which was in the origbinal question.
"Why not autopower Hasten"
Recharge is too long.
"Are you Prixy? Same SG, same manner of playing."
I have been playing this game for 6 years, and I can assure you that my method of playing was developed independantly from Prixy's or any other players.
"See, he's on autofollow, just like Prixy!"
I'm right here, just fpllowing the tank, who the star said to follow.
"You'll die if you do that"
Maybe, but I got HA on autopower, and, well, dying is a part of the game. Let me worry about that.
And so forth, but no one ever answered the question. Finally, I was told, "We can continue laughing at you, or we can solve the problem," and I was kicked off the team.
So, can somebody tell me what is the thing that I am doing wrong, get it out here, now, and let me know, Which is better? Autopowering HA, or autopowering CM.
Pull the other one, it's got bells.
(i'm guessing it was a slow day at the office and not enough people have been reading the Defender forums lately to make this worth posting there?) -

If it's gluten, he can still have galettes, which are made with buckwheat flour.
Also, almost anything can be made as a vegan version, but it doesn't always taste very good. Vegan veal, for example.... -
Quote:Maybe the OP has a wheat or dairy allergy that makes eating crepes harmful. i can't imagine any other reason that would require forcing someone to eat them.Originally Posted by ArcticFahx
I really wouldn't complain about that. Crêpes are tasty. Especially crêpes Suzette (crêpes with grated orange zest and Grand Marnier which is used to allow you to set the dish on fire for presentation).
Oh, i suppose a vegan might require forcing as well. -
Quote:i know what you meant, but technically it's more accurate to say that any damaging AoE attack that doesn't require a target will work. This includes damage auras if you can get close enough to the stuck mob.Originally Posted by Largo
Any targetted AoE power will work, like ignite, or rain of fire.
For escorts that are stuck sometimes exiting the map or the area will allow them to get free. Otherwise your options are basically /petition or resetting the mission.
If you do petition i recommend that only one member of the team sends the petition. -
i suspect the OP received the pop-up allowing him to select "Helper" as his status and realized, "Holy crap! They'll let anyone claim that they're a helper!"
i know i had the same realization.

... I have now finished my first BAF.
And my first BAF cutscene.
O. M. G.
There really is nowhere to go but up.
EDIT: AAARRGGGGHHHH!!! Yes, the demorecord got the cutscene, but with the same stupid 'the background is there but the actors are missing' glitch that I've run into way too many times before. DAMN IT! *grumbles* Fine. I still have the models in the demofile, and improving on this shouldn't take much work anyway.

Quote:While the trial/TF/SF/whatever is forming i tend to write custom chat binds to use during the cut scenes.Originally Posted by Von Krieger
I've amused myself to no end once I've discovered that you can use your battle cry during cutscenes. Considering all the cutscenes out there that I can potentially dialog-bomb, I've set my battle cry for this express purpose.
That battle cry?
...in my pants.
It works at least once in just about every cutscene.
BAF: "say Yeah, yeah, huge tracts of land. Hard to overlook them. Still, the robotic camel toe is just creepy."
ITF: "say Just wait, once the fight gets going Rommy makes it all about real estate. 'Your lands are mine!' Blah blah blah..."
And so on, depending on my mood.
My default bind: "say Cutscenes are nature's way of saying you're about to get your *** kicked." -

As for Pinkie being almost militant about keeping secrets, to the point where she has elaborate rituals for it and makes thinly veiled threats to those considering breaking promises, it's easy: It's because they were Pinkie Swears. You may now groan at the awful stealth pun.
