No, it's 172. Just like using Invisibility reduces the duration of travel suppression!

Pohsyb went on record saying most of the performance improvements for the new market UI came from adding the autocomplete option. However, due to my search habits I've disabled that (as it wouldn't allow me to search for text in the middle of words, such as "al es" for "Spiritual Essence"). This means I'm right back at square one, except I have an interface that's slightly more powerful, a good deal buggier, and infinitely more frustrating. The UI change is probably the biggest factor in my severely lessened playtime the last few weeks (the other one being the odd lag, which seems to have been semi-fixed).

The problem with determining whether range is DR'd or not lies with how powers are slotted - if you've slotted range into your powers (Centrioles, range IOs, whatever), that power will certainly have a shorter range in PvP because of DR on the slotted enhancements (that's also why your heals heal for less even without heal decay). We can't assume that since the real numbers tool reports our range bonus (from set bonuses or Boost Range) as the same as in PvE, range doesn't get DR'd, because damage and recharge are two examples of cases where the real numbers tool doesn't account for DR. I think the only way to really test that is to check attack ranges with and without DR using attacks that have no slotted range enhancements.

Weren't you the retard who insisted we should be playing our characters in PvP according to what's at the character creation screen? In case you forgot, here's a snippet of the AT description for Dominators:

Doesn't seem to say "hide and set up kills" anywhere in there, nor anywhere in the rest of the description.

lol, hypocricy

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Because the bars at the login screen only count PvP zone population AMIRITE!?

I don't remember them ever reverting a game change wholesale once it's on the live servers, barring finding an exploit (CoP trial comes to mind). If they do get around to changing the interface again, I'd bet it likely won't happen for another year or two, because that's how things have worked around here since I13 or so.

I haven't IOd any characters since I17 went live because I'm incredibly frustrated by the market interface - I've had to completely re-learn how to search for things and after three years of doing it the old way that's not something I'm especially willing to do. Hell, I haven't even been setting up my PvP IO farms the last few weeks, and I used to do that religiously. I don't remember the last time I logged on and did something other than stand around and talk in globals for a while before getting bored and logging.
