Quote:I consider 80 million to be a lot, in that I've never had that much Influence on one character all at once. I was looking at IOs today and coming to the conclusion that planning to IO Set out a character isn't currently feasible for me since most, if not all of the sets I'd want to use either lack in the availability department or else cost more influence than all of my characters combined currently have.Originally Posted by Eloora
I would consider 800 mil to be "a lot", personally.

Quote:That's kind of how prizes in a race work.Originally Posted by kybarsfang
Call it whatever you want, it still doesn't change the fact that they're giving the stuff for free to anyone who gets to it first.
Indeed. I was planning on buying it anyway, and I don't have the wherewithal to vie for it in this ill-named contest even if I wasn't.Quote:I can't speak for anyone else, but I know that my finances aren't so bad that I have to stress over $10. I'll just pick it up on Thursday.

I know Accuracy and To-Hit don't exactly work the same way, but I was just wondering if the 20% To-Hit buff is generally as good as or better than a single white SO Accuracy enhancement?

Quote:Because the moment they became untouchable/intangible they'd necessarily be "UNAFFECTED" by the very power that was making them so or something? If not for that, I could see it being a high End cost toggle like Telekinesis (or whatever that Mind toggle hold/repel is called).Originally Posted by Fleeting Whisper
The very nature of the power makes that not possible.

Quote:"Something believed" may, in fact, turn out to be a fact. For instance: a belief that the earth is round. Indeed, when one holds something to be a belief one is often supposing that it is a fact even if one has no proof. Opinions, on the other hand, are typically regarded as purely subjective appraisals.Originally Posted by Garrott
Just since you posted this I have to refute. First listed from dictionary.com
be·lief
noun
1. something believed; an opinion or conviction: a belief that the earth is flat.

Quote:And some people will quietly accept every bit of nonsense that's thrown their way. Of course, if they can't even tell the difference between a posessive pronoun and a contraction it's possible they just don't notice the nonsense for what it is.Originally Posted by GMan3
Umm . . . really? Your upset because they are calling it a giveaway instead of a contest? Wow, some people will complain about anything.
But, no, I'm not really upset. It's a minor irritation at best, like an itch, and it's as easy to make a complaint as it is to scratch an itch (sometimes even easier, depending on the location). -
Quote:Just because opinions are beliefs does not mean that beliefs are opinions.Originally Posted by Panzerwaffen
Courtesy of the Cambridge dictionary:
opinion noun
[C] a thought or belief about something or someone.
Semantics are fun! -
Quote:For my part, I'm not complaining about the inconvenience. They can have all the inconvenient little contests they like. But they should have the good grace to call them contests when people are contesting for a prize, rather than misleadingly calling them giveaways.Originally Posted by Fomsie
Wow, people will indeed complain about anything...
"Free give away"
"But not convenient to me!!!!!" *cue self entitled rage* -
Quote:This only holds true if you accept that the costs are currently balanced.Originally Posted by William_Valence
If the devs reduced endurance cost globaly then they would need to reduce everything else to balance it out.

Quote:I'm betting that means something along the lines of "First we get Going Rogue out the door, then we'll see"... I'd think their hands are pretty full with the impending big release just round the corner, anyway.Originally Posted by David Nakayama
I don't want to raise any false hopes on this, so just to be clear, it's not currently on the schedule.

Quote:In my experience, the attacks sometimes aren't enough to hold aggro. I've grabbed aggro from attacking tanks on numerous occasions, and had it taken from me before as a tank.Originally Posted by SaintNicster
It's not like every attack power from a tank comes with an AoE taunt. What are you doing, just standing there?

Quote:That's what I was thinking. Broadsword was in the game long before Boresight.Originally Posted by Dark Ether
Nope. Broadsword!

I tend to pick it up with my tanks. I find it help me keep aggro and thus keep the team a bit safer. Also, I seem to recall they added a range debuff to it and I've found it particularly useful against things like those annoying Council Marksman ever since.

Quote:That kind of tail has been requested in general for quite some time and some people were expecting it in this pack along with other animal features. More importantly, there have been a number of people saying how Jay in particular hates "furries" and doesn't ever want to make animal parts. So they get to throw in a much-wanted feature (and thus a potential selling point) and they trumpet the fact that Jay made it. A canny move, I'd say.Originally Posted by Exodus_V
<scratches head> wolf/fox tails?..ill go back and look...saw quite a bit of talk about new realistic animal heads however seeing as the set originally had zero animal options im a little confused.

This isn't a giveaway, it's a contest. A pain in the backside contest that would end up being a stressful exercise in futility for me.

I'm probably missing the obvious ... the announcement on Twitter states, "You like the look of our upcoming Mutant Booster Pack?" So where do I see it? -
I think they're getting drunk off their backsides and doing very little work at all. Especially BAB, that guy never didn't do nothin'.

Quote:Could be. The majority of my play is PUG-nacious given that my friends list is largely populated by ghosts, and has been for a couple of years now. The experience would at times make me cynical about humanity if I wasn't already.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
I just don't think I PUG enough anymore is all.

Quote:The announcement didn't say there was a patch, it said there would be no patch notes. As there was no client patch downloaded and applied, it makes sense that there are no patch notes to go with it.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Thursdays are maintenance. Today was a patch. It's even in the announcement forums, and has been linked upthread.

Quote:What strange dimension do you live in? On any Defender I've had with buffs I've had to refresh - be it Force Field, Sonic, Ice, or Kinetics - people will ask for the buffs even when they already have them (it happens slightly less often with Ice, in my experience). This is the same crowd who will ask "where to?" when the mission is indicated on the Nav; the same crowd who gets lost in missions because they don't know what the map is; the same crowd who wonders what zone everybody is in because they can't operate their team bar/info.Originally Posted by MrLiberty
How to avoid the SB PLZ Crowd - Learn to play a kin and keep your buffs up. You'd be amazed how seldom you start to hear "sb plz" when people actually have SB. Who would have thought!

Quote:1) 99.9% of the time. My friends list is largely made up of ghosts.Originally Posted by Psychoti
In an average gaming week:
1) How often do you PuG instead of grouping within your SG or friends?
2) How often do you group with friends and fill the rest of the group with PuGs?
3) How often do your PuG members do what you feel needs to be done without being told to do so?
4) How often do you find yourself telling PuG members what you feel they should be doing (for the good of the current team/session)?
5) How often do you find yourself adding PuG members to your friends/global friends, and if those lists are full, using other methods of remembering them?
6) How often do you group with complete jerks in a PuG?
2) See #1
3) Most of the time we roll along well, but there are the occasional problem teams.
4) Never. I might occasionally politely suggest, and I might cut my losses and leave, but I don't like to tell people how to play.
5) Almost never. It happened more often early on, but I've found the connections to be so ephemeral as to be largely pointless.
6) Rarely, but with ths many people it's bound to happen. -
As evocative names go, "Blaster" typically evokes the image of blasting, which itself is an activity that tends to happen at range.
Offhand, I can't think of any individual power that kills a powerset for me. The closest I can think of is Granite or Rooted. Or perhaps click mez protection, which has very nearly put me off of Shield Defense and Super Reflexes before. -
Quote:It wouldn't really be "over a video game" the way Frosty put it, it would be over implausible expectations you hold in life which are merely exemplified by the expectations you hold in game. Again, going by Frosticus' quoted words.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
Speaking of hyperbole. IMO if my marriage and career are at risk over an online superhero video game I've got problems soloing a GM won't solve.

Quote:I concur. My Dark/Dark Corruptor had to hover out of range and snipe him to death. Which took a VERY long time. If I got anywhere near him he'd drop me in one or two attacks or else summon in an 8-man-team's-worth of henchmen to floor me even faster. And that was a level 49 Lord Recluse against my level 50 (non-IO'd other than the set I ended up putting in snipe for the damage proc) Corruptor. I think it took more than a half hour for me to whittle him down.Originally Posted by Madam_Enigma
I DID solo Recluse. Mind you, he was an elite boss. That is still pretty rough though.
"Fluffy", of course, proved to be useless as he always does to me. I have nothing but intense hatred for that pet.

I was on the boards pre-beta, within the first month they were opened up as I recall. I would have been in the game from the start, but when beta started up they increased the minimum system requirements *just* over what I had and my beta invite was wasted. It took me a bit to upgrade.
I've left twice since I started, I think, once from general apathy and the second time because I was hoping ChO would be more to my liking (it simultaneously came very close and fell far short).
And while the community is certainly one of the main reasons I return, the other draw is that I love to create and play superheroes and this is the most palatable attempt at a game that allows me to do so that I've found thus far. I'm certainly prepared to move on the moment something better comes along, but at this point I don't expect it'll be happening.
