  1. So what? It's PvP!


    Seriously though... I doubt errors w/ numbers in PvP is too high on the ol' priority list.

    I would say... don't hold your breath because it's funny... but that would give the wrong message. I think it is very likely that there will be such a set: Eventually™.

    It's actually missing TWO 'E's, the words are "breathe" and "easy."
  4. Interesting...

    Wonder when they will revamp Unai's missions to remove the farms in there too... oh, and Harvey Maylor's demon farm.

    *devilish laugh*

    I never got a chance to play with Vorpal Judgement as none of my incarnate characters fit that theme but this will be a chance to try the mechanic out. Planning to side-roll my Plant/Thorn dom into a Plant/Nature controller.
    Ewwww, they are using THAT god-awful mechanic again? I hate it on Vorpal and don't understand why it can't just be a normal cone.

    It's one thing to tell the Devs something isn't up to par... it is another to tell the players themselves. I like how this turned from 'etiquette' and being nice to fellow gamers to 'who's right.'

    I guess that makes a little bit of sense. I am proud of my vast collection of badges on my main... but someone always comes along with more, so I have never really seen the point in "bragging" per se. Someone has always done it better.
  8. As cool as this idea seems to be... it's a bit too niche to ever get made IMO.

    The last part of your statement betrays some of your assumptions. See, when I say a set is bad, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from playing it. I'm just informing them it doesn't perform to the level possible with other powersets, and what they do with that knowledge is up to them.
    In my experience, that knowledge is useless. I don't play sets for "da numbers" but rather for a particular concept. Plus, I plan to have at least one character with each powerset on my account... so whether a set is "bad" in your opinion or not is like informing me what color underwear you have on. I simply don't care. And it usually comes across as someone proclaiming superiority or telling me how to play, even if that is the farthest thing from the person's mind.

    I find the advice you quoted far more apt than you seem to give it credit for.

    I am sure many other folks who don't read the forums, or read the wiki religiously feel similarly as those folks are even less likely to be interested in the numbers the less "plugged in" to the game they are (of course this is a pretty big assumption).

    Not that I know of... but it has certainly been suggested that this process be streamlined a bit...

    Hopefully someone will enlighten us.

    Yeah that doesn't make sense to me either... LOL

    Serious question here since, personally, I just don't get it... no harm meant: how is this fun?

    Regardless of if I understand it, it still is quite the achievement, of that much I am sure.

Like everyone else on planet earth I'm sure you have an opinion about DFB and other easy levels, I don't care and neither do they. They want to DFB past the lowest levels, and the game is better off if a few more people are around on red side, so instead of standing in atlas waiting for 'nice costume!' tells when nothing is going on, join red DFB's.

    If you're truly benevolent, do it on a PB with nova form. You can even level it to 50 if you want, and just leave the 2nd build not leveled past 6 using the going rogue pre-order procs in the nova attacks. (I say PB, not WS, because the -def is helpful to increase team DPS against AV's). If not a PB/WS, take assault at lv4 or 6.
    I would think a better service would be to team through normal content on redside... you spend more time with people and might form some cool relationships that speed-running boring repeatable content ad nauseum doesn't really. Community is all about the relationships between its members... and the people who can't be arsed to level to 12 "by themselves" in regular content tend to also be the people who don't give a crap about other folks (this is based solely on my experience, not meant to be a generalization).

    Also, you'd make the starting zone appear more populated as you run around doing hunts and things... also something DFB doesn't do.
  15. No problem... also:

    I think we could spar on this topic hilariously for some time... but it might get... well, a bit out of hand.

    Let me just say that those "staves" aren't just for ladies.
  17. There's something about the way you are responding to the forumites here, and in the OP that, were I a Dev, would make me less than enthusiastic to acquiesce to your requests.

I've tried adding underscores to powexecauto, i've tried enclosing +forward in quotations, i've tried capitalizing W but nothing seems to work. As soon as I type it in it clears the power I have auto'd, but not when I press the button like it needs to. I'm all out of ideas to get it to work, can anyone help me out?
    Well, as entered above, you are missing a quotation mark... and there seems to be no power included after powexecauto.

    Using [Hasten] as an example, it would look like this:
    /bind w "+forward$$powexecauto Hasten"

    I don't see why that wouldn't work. Have you tried typing the bind in manually INSTEAD of pasting it? It's possible that you picked up some invisible character like a tab or return that is messing it up. Also, as a note, there is never a time when adding an underscore will "fix" a bind. Underscores have no impact on how a command is parsed.

  20. I assume you mean the point at which defense reaches its soft-cap when higher base Incarnate enemy to-hit is taken into account.

    IIRC its 59%.

  23. Right, Sentry... because there is absolutely no middle ground between what he said and your overblown assessment at all. *rolls eyes*
  24. The 800pp prices are WAY the heck too high in Snow Globes' suggestion. For what you get, they are not worth a powerset. Not in a million years.
