Nevermind multiple people telling you you're wrong and NOBODY backing you up. Okay... Yeah, no more battling with an unarmed foe. *click* ( Edit: Haven't tried since the new forums. That's how long it's been. How do you ignore a poster on this damn thing? )

How about the part where you tell us we're doing something wrong if we miss more than once in a row?

That doesn't change my response one iota. You're just splitting hairs now. Stop it. It's pathetic. You're wrong and you know it. Now go away.
Quote:Moreover, you were the one who made a critical error claim. You said, and it's been quoted, you can miss multiple times with a 95% hit chance due to that 5% hit chance. That's an impossibility in the interpretation you did not clarify as "in a row". That was your own mistake, not mine.
Quote:Also, do quote where I said Titan Weapons is "The top set", and not "Top tier" in this conversation? I'm very curious.
Quote:You must be an oracle, if you correctly guessed how much that applies to you right now. -
Quote:Been covered, thanks. Didn't know the streak breaker pushed it down that low at 95%. Doesn't feel right, but I'll take the Wiki's word for it. However, I find it highly unlikely that many people have enough accuracy/+tohit to find themselves constantly at 90+% hit chance against every enemy. My whole point was that Reppu made a statement that we were doing something wrong if we ever missed more than once. That was bull."Streaks" are impossible if all attacks involved have 95% final to-hit. The Streakbreaker won't allow it. If your "overall accuracy," which is your worst accuracy since your last hit, is over 90%, then the Streakbreaker will kick in after a single miss and force a hit on the following attack. It is functionally impossible to miss twice in a row with attacks that have 95% accuracy.

Quote:I'm sorry, that goes way beyond "misinterpreting". "Streaks are possible" does not equal "I'm constantly missing" in any wild stretch of the imagination.He may have misinterpreted what you said, but you DID say that it's possible to have miss streaks with a 95% hit chance.
Technically, you CAN miss multiple times in a row with a 95% hit chance, but only if you're mixing in attacks with a lower chance. If ALL your attacks have a 95% chance, then the streak you mentioned IS impossible. -
Quote:"Top Tier" is like saying "One of the best". "Top" is like saying "The best". If you can't tell the difference, then I'll just quite trying to engage in a battle of wits.... "Top Tier" and "Top" are the same thing. I did not say "ABSOLUTE BEST EVER MUST NOT COMPARE". Saying something is "Top Tier" and... you're not even making sense.
Quote:Next; Streakbreaker denies your logic of constantly missing hit after hit at 95%. -
Quote:Really? All of the crap to benefit Jack's ego never bothered you, though?Actualy, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back. There was a lot of other points that had me on the edge of quiting, and with the new content being one of the few reason I was still playing.
What I saw as a drop in quality, for the benefit of someone's ego, which was enough for me to give up. -

Quote:Because if you lose momentum, the DPS drops until you get going again. A miss on a non-momentum swing deals a MUCH bigger hit than a miss on a swing with momentum active. The point I'm trying to make talking about it with and without is that whether or not it's active makes a big difference. And even if you never miss, it does drop for at least one swing every few seconds.I don't get why people talk about TW "with Momentum" and "without Momentum" as if that were somehow meaningful to what the set actually does. There's no way to actually play Titan Weapons other than sometimes having Momentum, and sometimes not having it.
If you're measuring DPS while it's active during the whole sample, it's going to be MUCH higher than if you measure when it's dropped. -
Quote:"Top tier" and "top" are not the same thing. Nice backpedal, Sparky.And people thinking Titan Weapons is not top-tier probably aren't informed.
Quote:If you actually MISSED more than once, you have personal build problems.
Except, you know, you have a maximum 95% chance to hit no matter what and the RNG can be streaky on that 5% sometimes.....
Quote:ToHit debuffs are surprisingly rare. -
Quote:Wow. I'm a pretty avid roleplayer. I like my storylines, and I like getting storylines in the game. Just saying that so you know where this is coming from: Get therapy.I unsubbed for several months after I was forced to aknowledge that Possitron was the most important member of, and founder of the FP. I didn't even turn the mission in, I exited the game, and unsubbed right then, along with long winded message to customer support as to why I unsubbed. The whole thing had left a terrible taste in my mouth. I'm back now, but cant even bring myself to read mission text, as I know that it's just going to be even more drivvel.

Quote:Consistency? Naw, too obvious.Pretty much this.
seriously, they spent time on this???
I'd really like to know what the logic is behind this?
I can understand being upset about the change of the name of the badge, though. And not saying consistency is the reason for that. However, I have to wonder if it would have been FAR more work than it was worth to have the altered mission award a completely different badge without changing the badges that had already been attached to it and awarded...
They originally belonged to Cryptic before Cryptic sold the property to NC Soft. I have a pretty hard time believing that Jacko would have just handed over his in-game persona entirely without strings even as a part of selling the whole CoH bundle. -
I'd say it wins on burst damage. Someone who can keep momentum rolling good can probably keep it on top in DPS. But, in the hands of most players? It's up there near the top, but probably not THE top. Lose momentum too much and...yesh. That swing time sucks, and with heavy -tohit piling on, you'll find things going downhill in a fight FAST.

Quote:Fortunately, there's plenty of evidence in this and other threads on Staff.Rude much? Assumptions with out evidence are crude. Emphasis on three letters, by the way.
I know, right? God forbid people play games to have fun... -
Quote:The word you're looking for is "hyperbole". It's a rather common tactic on game forums when someone's trying to gun for buffs for their pet build.Uh... it does more damage than 14-second AoEs like Whirling Mace, and less than 20-second AoEs like Fire Sword Circle. If you count Perfection damage, it does more than Foot Stomp. It has a larger-than-normal radius for a melee PBAoE, although yes, a few powers are larger still.
I get that it's not an incredible top-tier attack, but I have no idea how you arrive at "one of the worst AoEs in the game". -

Quote:Yes, because the only thing that matters is damage, amirite!Staff fighting is a great concept and fun to play, or it was til I realized the dmg output just isn't there. Staff fighting is a melee set and therefore should have an above average damage output. It doesn't, it's average at best. Such a disappointment making it another set to sit in the closet along side the Beast MM, again a great concept and fun to play but the damage just isn't there.
</sarcasm> -
Not that I'm contesting your overall findings, but this statement doesn't work. It's only a testament of the fact that people love to play with new power sets and flood the game with them for the first few weeks.

And aliens. And magic. And.... You've way oversimplified it. Given that Paragon is really close to a warzone ( and some parts actually ARE one ), I'd say the lights and such aren't that big of a stretch...

Quote:I don't PvP because my experience with PvPers in MMOs is always bad. Yes, there are plenty of nice people who PvP. However, I always seem to run into the foul-mouthed, juvenile brats. I play this game to have fun. Those people make the game very much NOT fun.I saw another thread about Zwil, and this made me wonder a bit as to why it is I never set foot into a PVP zone. Through word of mouth I hear only 5% of players ever go there. I can count myself as part of the 95% who don't, but I am starting to wonder what it is that makes me part of that 95%. I have very little experience in the matter, but nothing quite so concrete to make me shy away from PVP in the game...
Now, I can go and make some 3 page report on my thoughts as to why it is I never go slugging it out with someone else in the game, but who wants to read that? So, for now while I collect my thoughts I come to the players to ask why it is you don't PVP yourself. -
Quote:Didn't spend additional money. Nitpicking is pretty damn weak. Look at what else we get on top of those tokens. It's still a fair deal.Gotta call bs on this one. We VIP players did spend money on the set, and I say this coming from the position of having it (celestial) on day 1 of freedom. Fact is I kept up my sub for that long.
I really don't care if they sell it in the store, but please don't imply that VIPs didn't pay for the set.
Only if tokens were all we got for our subs. But there's also Incarnate content, VIP-only zones, VIP powersets, free access to the SSAs, and other such perks.
Quote:Can you get one without paying aprox $15?
No. You have to buy the pack of cards to get the gum.
Your logic here is ridiculously flawed and, frankly, childish in the extreme. Did that cheap plastic whistle in your kid's box of Froot Loops cost $4? No, the cereal cost $4 with or without the whistle. Thus, the whistle was free. -
