That was what I was talking about.

Combat Attributes says a starting damage buff of 0% and then caps at some number, but damage is never 0% so that can't be the "total damage cap".
You need to at least add 100% to the combat attributes number.

You supported my point.


I know there is a hard damage cap that can't be exceeded, but the question is....how do enhancements figure in?


Edit:
And, the hard damage cap is above what the Combat Attributes say because the Combat Attributes is only displaying the "damage buff cap" not the "damage cap".

It reminds me of the sideways skirt bug, probably the same issue(the capes are 2 dimensional really so sideways is completely 180 rotated).
I thought they would never let that bug happen again, but here it is on another costume piece that used to function properly.
/"shake head in dismay"

Edit:
It could be a different bug, such as the color tags just being swapped, but the skirt bug makes sense.
The only way to discount the rotated costume piece bug would be to find a cape/buttcape that is different in pattern on the inside formt he outside and determine if they are really reversed or not.


Edit 2:
This is not a problem with capes currently, just buttcapes.
I do not think there are any buttcapes that are asymmetrical to be able to prove/disprove my theory.

Actually, that percentage boost is more "additive".

100% normal damage + about 100% enhancement + 300% buffs = 500% cap

This is how it works for players as well.


Acanaville? Can you back me up or correct me?


Edit:
I mean that I don't think the enhancements and base power value count towards the "damage buff cap".
It could be, but then the combat attributes are either off by 100% or 200%(damage buff there starts at 0%) or enhancements and the base damage of the powers cut into the amount of buff you can get in combat attributes.

I never thought of that, but I'm not sure my area even has a program for it.
Mostly it's a free donation thing people do around here.(We're just that helpful and nice naturally and famous across the US for it.)

The stealth from the IO makes a player semi-transparent. Maybe they just want to be wholly solid while moving fast or with the glow at the feet.

Outside of armor sets and ancillary/patron pools, I think it was just temporary powers and pool powers, but that isn't much in the grand scheme of defense granting powers.
This is the main reason Energy Aura has been not as well received. It doesn't have much resistance, none to some types, and practically no defense to certain types and positions and not much else to solve the issue, until the more recent changes.

I reserve the right to post whenever and wherever I want within the allowed areas.
I don't care what you think, especially considering you are just being argumentative.
I think I'll just report you for being argumentative next time you try to ignore the facts of the powers' text and detailed info and obvious intended usage and factual usage in the game.

I don't know either, but the same delay happens with auto powers, such as stamina and health and swift, when you detoggle walk.
It gets longer every patch and with lag.


Fire mastery.Rise of the Phoenix:
Will it NOT "actually leave you invulnerable for a short time"?

I guess that is "not a fact".

Ditto.

I guess your unlucky(13) "number was up"?

This was my thought.

He's running at 1920x1200(odd resolution, rather square or distorted to fit widescreen, or just higher than the monitor's native unless it's some "SuperCRT"or something) which is very high. (Edit: It's just odd to me because my widescreen monitor uses 1920x1080. It must be a 4/3 aspect ratio like an LCD TV maybe.)
He also has his settings very high.

I would not be surprised if CoH is overheating for him, causing CoH to freeze due to a graphics driver reset.

...with Windows 7.

Whether or not he has Aero on, that's not much RAM to work with, a relatively lackluster processor and likely just as bad of a graphics chip as well.


City of Heroes may be old but it really hogs system resources, especially because of the updates. It can and does crash even when conditions are exceptional, let alone good enough.

This is the only place I could quickly find system requirements, but it is out of date by almost 2 years: [ur]http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/The_Players%27_Guide_to_the_Cities/System_Requirements[/url]
The game probably needs more than recommended(which is actually more of a minimum, given how CoH uses those resources) on that page.




I'm sorry I don't have better news. It sucks to not be able to play a game you are interested in, much more than even having poor performance in that game which you would likely have if you could/can get it running.

Ouch!
That is never fun.

I'm stuck in a similar situation with how the game interacts with my slow internet right now.
I can't afford to get better internet(which would likely have an insanely low monthly data cap, that can be hit in a few days of playing this game probably if my own internet bandwidth bottle-necking the game is anything to go by, as the stupid providers are doing now) if it is even available in the area.

I hate the greed of the people that make decisions in the world. (deleted my further rant)

I just want the simple things.

Wrong is fine. It can be slightly wrong. Having the wrong damage type or the wrong recharge word(how ambiguous is "long"?) or whatever small error is not a problem.


The powers say they "leave you invulnerable for a short time" and have "untouchable" in the detailed info and actual code of the power.

The description is not wrong. The behavior in most situations is not wrong. The behavior in certain "pushing the limits" situations is wrong.



Would you rather they didn't solve a crash that occurs only on a 24 person league and instead tell players "use 23 players or less because we're not fixing one situation that only happens when you are 'pushing the limits' even if that limit was something we want you to push"?

You can't just keep adding "exceptions to the rule" or the whole "rule" will have to be thrown out sooner or later due to the "exceptions" cascading.
"Don't solve a crash. Whatever caused it won't ever get worse or spread to other sectors of the program." "Don't fix a resurrect so that it performs as it should in this one situation where it doesn't. We won't ever add another similar situation that will make it fail the same way because we're done adding incarnate content." /sarcasm





Oh yeah, come on. Make the obligatory "you're back even though you said you were done /snicker" comment.
I don't care. I did this immediately after my above post because the obvious easy counter to the false(in regards to the power being argued about) quoted statement needed to be said.
Also, I'm done when I move on to another thread, not at the post I say I'm done in.
I also reserve the right to post again and not give a fart what others think.

I know they did. You're right.

I'm just saying "how do you know the armor set resurrects did not also have a delay at some point in the past?"?
Or, how do you know that when untouchable was added to those 3 resurrects, without a delay, that it was not intended(and likely assumed to be true) that all resurrects should not have a delay?

Maybe, just maybe, the developer that added untouchable to those powers without a delay was not the same developer that put the delay in other resurrects and thus probably didn't even know about the delay, just saw "they already have untouchable so they are good".(Edit: why did a typo in "so they" turn into a censored word?)








There is just one fact that we need to know:

All resurrect powers have this description....
The delay stops that statement from being true in certain situations.


So, either the "certain situations" need to change or the delay in the powers needs to be removed or they need to come up with an entirely new and complicated piece of code to try and fix the issue without removing the delay and likely breaking all sorts of other things in the process.



There is still only one conclusion:

The delay may be intentional, and may have been intended to be removed, but the fact that it stops the resurrect power from performing as intended is obviously not intended.




That's enough of this topic.
You're all starting to just pick apart side-topics instead of the main topic:
"Is the power working as intended in every situation or not?"
Obviously not.

See the post by "Addo" above.
Apparently, the "untouchable" portion of resurrect powers was not even present until issue 22.

My guess? The delay was also part of all resurrects, but they forgot to delete the delay for the ancillary/patron pools and temporary power resurrects when they did so for the power set versions.



Untouchable was added to keep players alive while resurrecting. There would be no point to adding that unless it was intended to function that way.
The fact that the delay prevents the intended function in specific unforeseen situations is a bug, nothing less. Therefore, the delay needs to be removed or they need to do something else far more complicated to ensure that the power performs as they obviously intended.


I'm sick of arguing in circles here. How many different ways must I say "read the power info and see the truth of it"?

With this economy? I wish that were true for me.
I would have some more fun stuff from the store if I had the cash to spare.

Nope. It restores the same percentage, but less health due to the archetypes that get the epic version having less base health.
The only real intentional disadvantage is the pool version gets only 20 seconds of debt-immunity while the power set version gets 90 seconds.

That was my supposition as well. They must have just forgotten to change the pool version as they did with the power set version.

No, the situation where it fails was presented as "incarnate content with a lot of aggro and damage immediately upon rez".
The person is getting killed in the 0.25 second delay time because all that matter is that the enemy make a to-hit check in that time and damage can be calculated after untouchable is active.
"They can hit before you're invulnerable, but damage after you're invulnerable."
