Now I hear you guys... you all seem to dislike the Story Arc aspect of this system. I've had some discussions with the team yesterday about what we could do instead, and still keep the flavor of the four pool system, because having the extra three pools allows us to not only reward risk/reward, but time/reward as well. Takes longer to do a Task Force? Here's a nice bonus you can't get anywhere else. Finish the Respec trial, but already have all your Respecs? Here's a nice reward that carries with it some good inherent value.

WHY STORY ARC EXCLUSIVES ARE BROKEN:
Because they are the ONLY thing you can't repeat. The only. Think about everything else on the list posted by Dr. Brainstorm:
TF - Any character 12+ can do Positron's TF (if a hero, obviously) ANY TIME THEY WANT.
Trials - Any one 24+ can do a respec trial ANY TIME THEY WANT.
Killing mobs of all levels - With exemplar you can do this ANY TIME YOU WANT.
You might need a team, that's OK. But story arcs can only be done once. Fix that or no recipes be available only from story arcs. All you're going to accomplish is creating:
ULTRA RARE LOOT
Which goes against everything you said you wanted to accomplish. It will make the game more hardcore than WoW or Everquest II.

Really great stuff.

For those of us who in game (and indeed on the board to a degree) are sometimes tagged female (usually for emotes (like me!) or for female characters or avatars)

Yeah... I've long since stopped trying to guess gender by avatars or forum personality. Pretty sure I stopped after I called Frost a 'she'...

One of my Dwarf screenies
They aren't too hard to come by. Just holler in the Kheld section and you'd likely get quite a few.
On topic though, very cute indeed. -

Last time I did this it was still bugged and he didn't appear. But this time he was there, as I did this mission of Ms. Frost's and a good bunch of teammates:

lol damn it's been a while since I did that mission. Did he always have a cape?
[/ QUOTE ]
He's had it as long as I can remember...
I can't recall if it's the same cape though. He has the full shoulder mantle on it, but I can't remember whether he did before or not. I'll need to dig through my screenies. -

Can we go back to the fact that someone had to google a GnR song please?
[/ QUOTE ]
Funny, I was listening to this song on my iPod when I asked a friend if he liked it. He said he never heard of the song, and I was baffled. Then I asked if he even knew who Guns n' Roses was....... he didn't.
Britney Spears FTL.

I'm not focused on anything. The previous poster said they "updated" the animator's post, adding PbAoE. I'm only pointing out that Twilight Grasp is a PbAoE heal, which doesn't solve the discrepancy.
And although it's highly likely that heals such as Transfusion and Twilight Grasp will indeed root you as they are foe-targeted, this has NOT been explicitly stated, and should not be assumed. Since other healing powers have been made exempt from the rule, you cannot say with 100% certainty that Transfusion and/or Twilight Grasp won't also be made exempt. That is all I've been trying to say.
If you take the animator's post as-is, Transfusion and TG would be exempt from rooting. We assume this is an oversight as we also assume that because they are foe-targeted this would take precedent over it being a heal, and would therefore root.
But this is purely an assumption. Past history and previous comments would lend a high level of credibility to it, but it is still nonetheless an unproven assumption.
All I have asked for is a clarification one way or another as I'd rather not assume anything.

Fine then. NON-TARGETTED PBAOE HEAL. That more clear? Castle's already provided the verification.
Good Lord, people love to nitpick every bloody little thing... -
Close up of Bella
I had posted a regular shot in my submission as well as the link to her bio via CGT.
I've started posting a lot of my fiction onto my new dA site, including a very long, though incomplete background on Bella.

Another post from the Animation Dept.

Hey everyone. The changes to toggle power animations and the standardization of what does and doesnt root you should now be up on live. I just wanted to clear up any confusion about some other changes to click powers that also happened at this time. The only intended changes to rooting were supposed to be for toggle powers at this time. Were in the process of standardizing click powers to follow their own set of rules, but theyre not going to be slightly different than the rules for toggles.
Right now, our intent is to use these rules for click powers:
1. PBAOE Heals will not root
2. Self Buffs will not root
3. Self Heals will not root
4. Everything else will.
You may have noticed some click powers that used to root you and now dont. These powers snuck their way into the wrong build (see what happens when we dont root them), and most of these will change back in the next build that makes it to live. Consider this an official heads up.
Again, sorry for the confusion this has caused. Well get it all sorted out shortly and we thank you for your patience and understanding.

Minor comment from a bot/dark Mastermind. The AOE heal on the dark set still roots.
[/ QUOTE ]
I fixed the error that the animators made.
As the poster above me said and as I also did a few posts up, the debuff is the first effect, then the heal. It is an attack and should thus root you. -

Wow...
It never ceases to amaze me... the extent that people will twist something that should be blantently obvious.
_Castle_, little request next time for you/the animators. Try saying PBAoE Heals instead of AoE heals. That will massively cut down a lot of the confusion here.
Transfusion, Transference, Twilight Grasp, Siphon Life, Dark Regeneration... those are all attacks. Whether they do damage or a debuff doesn't matter. The initial form of the power is an attack, therefore, this change doesn't apply. Come on guys, do they really have to spell this all out for you? They removed the rooting from Warmth for a reason.
Self-heals:
Healing Flames
Dull Pain
Reconstruction
Essence Boost
Reform Essence
Earth's Embrace
(all powers that *only* affect the caster)
And as others have pointed out, interrupt is not the same thing as rooting, so Aid Self doesn't apply to these changes.
That a bit more clear for folks? -
