Um...Ok...whatever happened to the rule where you cant be elected president more than twice? I am pretty sure they made this a rule at some point in time.

It's explained in the article...

Wheeee... this is going to be fun.

There were ideas thrown around and various discussions on the topic but nothing was finalized. It wasn't a high priority over the other content they wanted and or had the time to implement.

He didn't say that.

It is not like they public assistance programs like we have in real life to handle big disasters like this.

Why wouldn't they?

The WAR WALLS appear in many of the newspaper pics. If I remember correctly, the only reason for the walls to exist in the first place is the Rikti Invasion.

To contain Outbreak?

Man o man... I hope the implementation is a good as the [speculated] story is shaping up to be.

As part of our continued coverage of the history of the Outbreak plague, the Times would like to remember this year’s fallen.

Fallen to THE OUTBREAK PLAGUE.

"Users of Outbreak experience a feeling of invincibility and a boost in physical strength, but there is also a corresponding increase in violent tendencies and aggression. A single dose causes physical addiction and will cause a rapid and unstoppable mental degradation resulting in clinical insanity. Doctors have been unable to reverse the loss of memory and personality associated with Outbreak madness."

definately dead, fallen used in this way has always meant the person in question is dead.

...many of the infected are not technically dead...

So they're not dead, but they are...

So, the Heroes go back to stop the plaque (hijacking Nemesis tech?) and the Villains catch a ride to stop McGoohan and his gang. I don't think we even need Nemesis, cause ya, we've been doing some time travel already haven't we? But maybe he's behind it.

Hmmm... I'm sensing some sort of alternate reality time travel stuff maybe?

WTF is going on

Seriously . . .

Its a stylised Ouroborous for sure.

"It has been used to represent many things over the ages, but it most generally symbolizes ideas of cyclicality, unity, or infinity"

Yup, yup. I'd go with infinity.

Jump around in various mobs with AA unslotted. Jump around in various mobs with AA slotted. Note difference in behavior. It's been a while.

Arctic Air takes fear enhancements, which makes mobs run away. Should Hot Feet have the same? (Liliaceae June 26th)

[/ QUOTE ]
I just did some testing on Arctic Air, nothing too scientific, and drew the conclusion that fear enhancements don't increase the duration of the run away/Flee/Afraid effect. From this I would conclude that Arctic Air shouldn't take Fear enhancements at all. Does anyone have any counter evidence? This is very tricky to assess. Of course, removing fear enhancements would be an unwelcome change to those who wish to slot fear IO procs.

This one has come up for discussion a few times in the past (not Hot Feet, the AA one). Each time I've tested it I come to the conclusion that adding Fear enhancements increases the amount of time that the mobs are afraid... perhaps try something a bit more scientific; although I'm not completely sure what that would entail, I definitely can tell the difference between slotted and unslotted AA.

To note, _Castle_ is aware of the disparity between the Dom and Controller versions. He says it's a bug. Whether to remove the Enh from the Dom version or add to the Controller version, he's not sure which way to go at the moment. To me, adding Fear IOs to the power would somewhat signify the way they may want to go...

Wait, so where can I get this press kit?

Wow, these dev diaries are awesomely insightful! Hope to see more of them in the future.

FYI, CoD's data on Ice Storm and Sleet is incorrect.

Ice Storm is .78 c/l
Sleet is .33 c

Wheeee!

A note for anyone interested, Power Boost does boost the EndDrain and Heal IO procs.

Some Dominator Analysis:

In PvE vs a +0 with no resistance/protection, a Domination + MM+ PB boosted hold will apply a Mag 3 Hold for 71.52 seconds and at the same time, an additional Mag 3 Hold for 107.28 seconds.

Level 50 Ice Dominator: Block of Ice

PvE Duration Scalar: 12 (8 in PvP)
Domination PvE Duration Scalar: 18 (12 in PvP)

Hold (Base): 12*1*1.49 = 17.88s
Domination Hold (Base): 18*1*1.49 = 26.82s

Hold (PB): 17.88 * (1 + 1.49) = 44.52s
Hold (MM): 17.88 * (1 + 1) = 35.76s
Hold (PB + MM): 17.88 * (1 + 1.49 + 1) = 62.4s
Hold (MM + PB): 17.88 * (1 + 1 + 1.49*[1+1]) = 17.88 * (4.98)[capped at 4] = 17.88 * 4.0 = 71.52s

Domination Hold (PB): 26.82 * (1 + 1.49) = 66.78s
Domination Hold (MM): 26.82 * (1 + 1) = 53.64s
Domination Hold (PB + MM): 26.82 * (1 + 1.49 + 1) = 93.60s
Domination Hold (MM + PB): 26.82 * (1 + 1 + 1.49*[1+1]) = 26.82 * (4.98)[capped at 4] = 26.82 * 4.0 = 107.28s

They are hiding the results for two reasons more than likely. One, so that they don't get people complaining when the one with the most votes don't get implemented . Two, so that people don't come to expect the ones with the most votes to be implemented next.

As for only having the poll up for 24hrs. Who knows.

Yup, yup.
