I can't reccomend Cher either, she won't go with any of the furnature! And talk about high maintenence, it takes a crane an hour to lift her back-side up in the morning! I took her out antiquing and the clerk told me "Sorry Mister, we only sell them, we don't buy them!" We went for dinner the other night and the waiter said "Did this one run his face into a tree too?"

I get no /respec I tell ya!

It is an Urban Legend, that means its the truthiness! Dare you argue with the Unwashed Masses? (Would that be a hero or villain name?)

I would so totally buy a game where the end boss was John Lennon. Just don't know if I can make it past Yoko Ono first!

So would this make you Chapman?

So would that make this game of yours about suicide? Or narcissism by proxy?

I didn't read this whole thread, but I think Sexy should be an inherent.

I believe it is. Its just in an Epic AT we can't get.

You get it with claws/sr.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's just a passive power. Far, far lower magnitude than the inherent.

Carp Armor. You know that pig's a hacker.
(Don't worry she has a freespec in case she gets caught.)

I would have guessed Frog Combat.

[/ QUOTE ]
The Devs haven't coded that yet, but they have Carp Armor for thier own amusement. She just RPs it as Frog Armor.

At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.

[/ QUOTE ]

Par for the course.

[/ QUOTE ]

Really. I mean, the day I have something people could consider a "rational" thought is the day that Pigs finally reach level 14 and take the "Flight" power.

[/ QUOTE ]

Unless those pigs started during the winter event and have a jetpack at level 1.

Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn.

[/ QUOTE ]

At which point, when the Moon Zone finally arrives, we shall see...

PIGS IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode where Miss Piggy finally expresses her feeling for the Captain.

Unfortunately Pigs had free time durring the double XP weekend and reached level 22. Hover turned out to be a red herring, as Pigs took Teleport at level 14 rather than Flight. "Rational" thought shall thus not be forthcoming from Liquid Horatio X.

[/ QUOTE ] Sorry they only have Five Pounds of Back Bacon to give out. Request denied.

[/ QUOTE ]
Four pounds of Back Bacon. Your invoice is out of date.
We do have Five golden Tooks.
And a Beer.

[ QUOTE ]
So does that mean 125% for the first foe +25% for each additional foe (up to 10 total = 350% max) ?

and (with enhancements) ~242% 1st foe +~48% each other foe (~624% max)...assuming 94% ed capped enhancement?

[/ QUOTE ]
Correct.

[ QUOTE ]
Also does the to-hit debuff stack up? ie is it -3.5% to each foe or is it -3.5% per foe to each foe (max -35%)?

[/ QUOTE ]
-3.5% to each foe, modified by level difference and enhancements as usual.

Ask and you shall receive!
Fresh from Test courtesy of the new numbers tracking.
These are for Tankers.
Base Numbers
To Hit: 75%
Damage: 0%

Buff
To Hit: 96%
Damage: 28%

Debuff
To hit: 59%
Damage: -16.95%

So a to hit buff of 21% and a debuff of 16%, if I'm mathifying that right.

[ QUOTE ]
"Merits", as in 'citation for Merit', is a character and roleplay specific name associated with military activity in the Vanguard. I'm looking for something similarly appropriate.

As to whether merit-alikes should be earned for a loss, as I said in an earlier post I leave all such calculations to someone who knows more game-theory than I do.

[/ QUOTE ]
Considering you could use a Longbow or Arachnos Quartermaster as the location to redeem PvP Merits, the term could still be appropriate.
Failing that Thesaurus.com can help.

<QR>
PvP Merits for loosing would be a fair draw. A similar idea is done in that other MMO and seems to work there. Sure, you don't gain anything for loosing in PvE. But then in PvE your expected to win far in excess of 50% of the time, the average win rate in PvP.

3 PvP Merits (or more) for a win and 1 PvP Merit for a loose would be a fair starting ratio. Costs in PvP Merits would probably have to assume regular wins however.

Decent ideas overall for making entry into PvP easier and more appealing to the curious.

[ QUOTE ]

The point is I don't want something introduced into PvE zone broadcast to make the hostility worse.

[/ QUOTE ]
At no point did Human_Being (the OP) suggest PvP in PvE zones. Some others, I suspect fans of PvP, did make that suggestion.
Human_Being's suggestion wouldn't impact the PvE experience in any way, except that the current PvE draws to the PvP zones would become totally PvE (as an option), and that some further optional PvE content would be added to the existing PvP zones. Therefore broadcast in other zones won't change for the worse, or at all.

_________________________________
This idea isn't aimed at the hard core PvP haters, who will in no way be impacted by it (other than some potential missions in [now safe] PvP zones). Rather it is aimed at those that either have no opinion on the subject, or primarily object to the current incarnation of PvP.
In other words, if this happens, it won't harm you a damned bit.

Thanks LightSide, now i have a mental image of a GvE box with legs spread out on an exam table and Statesman's helmet tinkering under the hospital gown.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, I think I may have pulled something laughing so hard at that image...

Best laugh I've had all day! Still...can't..stop.





Ok, better now.
Statesman=Johnny Bench?

You can safely drop my old Hamidon Guide, I only put it up to provide a starting point until good guides could be written.

So, NC Soft owns CoX out right, and they've headhunted all of the staff that brought us the past few great Issues?
I see no Doom here.

Will Cryptic be moving out of Paragon City? That will open up plenty of space in town for enterprising folks to move into. Someone will have to move all that equipment, the Scrapyarders aren't doing too much. With the newer semi trucks they won't have to use all the city's box vans for the move.

Its long past time I threw out a few ideas I've been kicking around. Its not totally novel, but I've tried to present it as clearly as possible with as much potential for use as possible.
This batch could probably be placed within the Pillars tab, and have the tab renamed to Structural or Architectural Features.

Cost should be low or even free as this is primarily a refinement of the existing elevations and room sizes.
Alternately to these 4 items, the Small Structural Riser and a duplicate wall mounted version could accomplish the same goal but would shunt much of the effort from the Developers to the end users (us).

Behold, Legos for Base Builders!
___________________________________________
Large Structural Riser
Originally suggested by: Shadow Fire
Category: Structural Features (Pillars)
Customizable? No, multiple versions to match existing room styles instead.
Type: Purchased
Description: A simple cube matching a single elevation within the base with all six sides to the crash box matching the surface area of the cube. Large Structural Risers are designed for stacking. If at all possible allow placement of wall items on the sides of the Riser.
Limitations: No customization.
__________________________________________________ ____________

Small Structural Riser
Originally suggested by: Shadow Fire
Category: Structural Features (Pillars)
Customizable? No, multiple versions to match existing room styles instead.
Type: Purchased
Description: A simple cube one quarter the height of the Large Structural Riser with all six sides to the crash box matching the surface area of the cube. Small Structural Risers are designed for stacking. Small Structural Risers should allow placement of wall items. The primary intent of this size Riser would be to allow custom creation of podiums for Beacon placement.
Limitations: No customization.

Wall Panel
Originally suggested by: Shadow Fire
Category: Structural Features (Pillars)
Customizable? No, multiple versions to match existing room styles instead.
Type: Purchased
Description: A simple panel one quarter the width of the Large Structural Riser, with the same height and length. The Crash box must match the size of the Wall Panel. Allows for stacking and placement of wall items. Primary use would be to partially subdivide rooms.
Limitations: No customization.
__________________________________________________ ___________

Raised Platform
Originally suggested by: Shadow Fire
Category: Structural Features (Pillars)
Customizable? No, multiple versions to match existing room styles instead.
Type: Purchased
Description: One quarter the height of the Large Structural Riser, but otherwise identical. Rather than floor placement, Raised Platforms would be wall mounted. Because they would allow placement of wall mounted items, these could be collectively used to create higher level floors.
Limitations: No customization. Wall Mounted

Man, I still remember that end of Beta event. All the lag, and chaos. All those times the Mapserver owned my old PC. The 10 minutes of swearing with a perfect shot of Positron about to obliterate my Mastermind frozen on the screen, the instant I pressed print screen. The party by Kalinda after the invasion and the attempt to summon the end of the world.

Then came the headstart for CoV, and the real villainy began. Happy Birthday Villains! I hope you get those PPP presents you've been asking for some year!

Now hold still, its time for your birthday spankings!
