So, got a small group together to fight the Winter Lord in Cap Au Diable.

We defeated it, and the Lord Winter present spawned..but with no timer..

I thought, meh, maybe it skipped it for some reason.


With the small group we had no chance of defeating Lord winter, so we decided we would defeat the mobs around it instead.

Then we noticed something interesting..

The timer was counting upward! (click the thumbnails)

If we had the right power combos, we mightve been able to do a 4 person LW :-S

Just for fun, try updating directx to 9.0c:

I doubt it'll make a difference, but it's worth a try

Invulnerability Enchantment?

Sorry...I had to do it...

I'll answer since I think I know what you're going for:

Short Version:
Game method: AT damage mod x power damage scale = base damage
or
Scale method: (55.6102 x power damage scale) x AT damage scale = base damage

Long Version:

Here's how it works: I'll use Charged Bolts and Lightning Bolt as an example

Game Method


The game relys on 2 things to calculate damage, AT damage mod and power damage scale(for base damage that is)

At level 50, the Ranged Damage Mod for Blaster's is 62.562
and Defender's is 36.147

Charged Bolts is a scale 1.0 damage scale
Lightning Bolt is a 1.64 damage scale

To calculate the damage you simply multiply the AT mod by the scale,

Obviously since Charged Bolts is scale 1, the damage is the same as the mod

for Lightning Bolt

1.64 x 62.562 = ~102.6
1.64 x 36.147 = ~59.28



Thats how the game does it.



Scale Method


I you want to use the damage scale chart on paragonwiki you need 2 bits of information: the scale damage of a power or the damage of a power and the damage scale of the AT(as presented by the PW chart)

You also need to memorize this one thing: a scale 1 attack at 1.0 damage mod does 55.6102(rounded to 55.61 for the following) damage at 50

Charged bolts is a 1.0 scale attack therefore at level 50 it does 55.61 damage

but then the damage scales come in:

Blaster = 55.61 x 1.125 = ~62.562
Defender = 55.61 x 0.65 = ~36.147

Lightning Bolt is a 1.64 scale attack therefore at 50 it does ~91.2(55.61 x 1.64) damage


Blaster = 91.2 x 1.125 = 102.6
Defender = 91.2 x 0.65 = 59.28


Thats about it,

Melee is the same but with the Melee Damage table obviously

Actually, this is the same way you do ANYTHING in the game not just damage.


Of course after finding this, then you need to account for enhancements and buffs if you want to find the total damage, this is just to find the base.

If you don't know how THAT works I can explain that too if you like.


EDIT: corrected a bunch of typos

Cool, thanks

Was wondering if any information has been released as to how epics/patrions will work with side switching.


IE, if a brute switches sides will he get access to tank epics, and vice versa.

Obviously if for example a brute switches sides to Paragon City and becomes a complete hero, it'd be impossible to do the patron arcs to unlock them.

Will they get access to epic powers that tanks have or simply be unable to choose ancillery powers at all?


Obviously if nothing has been stated yet none of you guys can answer this , just sort of wondered about how that will be handled.

Assuming 95% enhancement of recharge in it, lightning reflexes, and hasten, it would require 115% global recharge


120/30 = 4
4 - 1 = 3.00 = 300%

300%
-95
205%
-70
135%
-20

115%


Probably not worth it, but YMMV

Ah wasn't aware of that, good to know

The "upload" feature section isn't working, you have to put the image tags and link in the text area.

You're doing it right, you just need to type in the [img] and [/img] to both ends of your link.


Though that particular one is a bit big, might want to thumbnail it.



For that, use a url tag for the picture and an img tag with th_ before the picture in the url



Like so:



The way to do that is like this(replace braces with brackets, i just used them for the example so it would show up)

{url=http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f262/moonxq777/CoHFamilyScreenShotBackground.jpg}{img}http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f262/moonxq777/th_CoHFamilyScreenShotBackground.jpg{/img}{/url}



Alternatively, set your link options in photobucket to show the img thumbnail option and you can just copy/paste, though that will link it to the photobucket page not a direct link.



Hope you get it fixed.
