The Accolade Powers and 'Temp' Powers that are not flagged to be unenhanceable to Recharge Reduction do benefit from global recharge such as Hasten and IO Recharge Bonuses.

So far the ones that are not affected by Global Recharge are Mission Transporter and one other popular one whose name escapes me for the moment, but someone will be by to fill us in.

Geas is indeed affected by global recharge.

It is obviously clear there is *not* a black device in her hand, but that is the shade of her hand on her face.

Though it looks sunny, the heavy coats portray a chilly day. She was probably warming her ear. The index and forefinger are cupped behind the upper ear. Or she had an earache. Or she was trying to block out noise from the street.

Or time travelers are fat.

Full body auras that are full body:

The legacy auras created full body auras by having little auras at all the skeletal nodes. It's nice to see the new full body auras which are fully full-body and go in a seamless head-to-toe animation.

The Leaves are a excellent example of this. Plus, they have a pseudo-physics quality such that they trail behind you when you move. I say 'pseudo-physics' because unlike real physics object -- like the rose petals from the rosepetals emote -- they aren't affected by in-game 'wind.' While running Hurricane, the rose petals will get picked up and orbit you, but the leaves from the Leaves Emote won't.

One would expect the Tarot Cards to do the same, but they don't. The full body version of the Tarot Cards are locked-animation to the movement of the body and that makes them look horrible. E.g., as you run, you bob up and down and that's exactly what these supposedly floating cards do... bob up and down. But strangely, if one chooses the fist and head version of the Tarot Cards, they *do* float away when you move. Very strange. The full body version should be changed so that the cards are not locked to body motion.

Another problem with true full body auras is that they move too quickly (with the exception of Leaves). Whether its Firefly, Tarot, or Runes, they move a lot faster than you'd expect: Is there an invisible industrial fan following me?

And another issue with the full body auras (excepting Leaves) is that they're all helical. That sort of looks OK with Firefly since insects do move like that and follow each other like that, but it doesn't look good when the Runes or Tarot cards do that. I'd like to see the full body Tarot cards blow upward and descend like a fountain. I'd like to see the Runes rotate in a cylinder than follow a helical arc.

(Suggestion for the future: A double helical chromosomal aura!)


Un-lock-step the animations

When one puts Tarot Cards on the hair and fists, the three animation points all animate in sync with each other which gives it a mechanistic look rather than a more natural or organic look. E.g., when running with those three nodes active with Tarot Cards, rather than have a trail of cards behind you, there are 'puffs' of cards as all three nodes emit and leave behind cards at exactly the same time. It would be nice if they weren't in lock-step sync.


Love the Tarot Sparkles!

The old Sparkles Aura blink in static placement. The sparkles in the Tarot Aura float and move. It would be nice to have floaty, Las Vegas, champagne sparkles as a separate aura or an an addition to the Sparkles Aura.



Make Hurricane a Combat Stance!

Thunderhead Combat Stance + Hurricane = Awesome, right? Not when Hurricane doesn't keep one in Combat Stance.

Just remember, when Temp powers are suppressed (like a Masters of... TF) you won't be able to Fly if you rely on Temp Fly powers.

Use your second build wisely.

It's a great farm mission at 8x.

You can pull large amounts of foes to a narrow doorway, and then the ambushes come to you. I don't know any squishie that couldn't knock off that map at 8x with ease at level 50.

"Sphinx!"

"I am so going to retire here."


Also, we learn that Hatred didn't molest Billy... much.

I'd like a 2 window (or, multi-window) solution so that the windows can not only be split between 2 screens (or more), but on a wide screen monitor, I can set a sidebar (or a left and right sidebar) for all the chat and 2D GUI items and leave a clear window for the game (or with the minimal 2D GUI items I want overlayed).

I like confusing Rikti Guardians so as to get their Accelerated Metabolism buff.
