Any chance of being able to exchange one or two of those spares in for, I dunno, a Hami-O? Or something extra cool?

huh?

Changed To Hit Debuffs to use the 5/10/20 Enhancement progression.

[/ QUOTE ]

Does that mean the NPC now have the new to hit system ( to hit check before level check ? )

[/ QUOTE ]

This is a prepatory patch for i7. It was included early because of build schedules.


Still here, even after all this time!

I don't think so, I think we have to wait for I7 to go live before we get that.

[/ QUOTE ]

So the change to To Hit enh schedule, announced last week, made specially for the scaling defense announced months ago, come now in a hurry and we are temporarily nerfed ?

Hmm.... this will have to change. I cannot compete against you.

Taser? Nah. Severe is already stalking him.
Miss Kitty? Yeah.... riiiiight. No one stalks her.
Maybe Clintonian? Nah... he won't play along.
LaserJudas already hates me.
Skunkwerks is MIA.
Athyna has her own bevy of drooling "servants".

Dammit. I guess I really will have to stalk you, Voodoo.




Okie... back on topic.

Wow. That's quite a lot for an update. Looking forward to I7 now though, my friend's debuff routine is going to be hurting a little until it goes live.
What was the issue with the mission rewards? This another anit-PL fix?
Just curious. I'm trying to figure out what that means in relation to the difficutly slider. So, if I run a mission on relentless, the maximum bonus I can get is the same as it would have been for two levels above villanous? Or am I misunderstanding that?


Stand UP.

This patch is going to get me to 300 badges without mez farming.

DOOM.

Other than that, I don't really care. There are some anti-PL fixes that I didn't like (putting a timer on wolves and Dreck was dumb) but this is a pretty straightforward exploit fix. There is no good reason why mission bonus should scale up to +20.

Level 2 characters can't get level 40 Invincible mission bonus. That's pretty much it.

Can someone rationalize the 'chat spam ban' stuff for me? I mean I'm just not getting the reason for wasting resources and programming time on something /ignore can fix instantaneously.

Or, are they suggesting that the problem is so prevalent that ignore lists cannot handle it?

Because I rarely see any kind of spamming on Virtue other than combat spam. Sure, now and then some idiot will try to take over broadcast or local in AP or some such, but I find the solution is just to /ignore and continue on my way.

Later, I clear the list if I need to.

So, why all the drama on chatspam all of a sudden?

Wasn't there already a cap at 5 levels? That wasn't good enough? It seems like they won't be happy until everyone levels at the same slow boring pace IMHO. I've seen too many people give up in the 30's because it takes too long to level. Now it's going to be even harder. I think faster levelling keeps people a little more interested in playing. Guess it's all about the Benjamins, longer it takes to level, the longer that monthly fee rolls in.

The cap didn't exist for the end-of-mission bonus.

So people would often bring their SKs into missions, run around SK'd, then as soon as they realized the mission would end, the SK's would drop their SK status, and collect massive mission bonus XP.

That part has now been fixed.

No Dev would respond to the discussion of this in the Test Server (Training Room) forum, so, we don't know the extent of the problem or why they chose this fix.

We do know that this includes separate lines of /emotes, which will cause problems for many non-spamming players who have /macro'd and /binded emotes to powers. However, the devs have said that /emotes won't be counted anymore in some future patch.


----


WRT Costume Tokens: The purpose of the costume tokens, as I understand it, is to allow us to take the costume options of the opposing faction (heroes with villainous costume pieces and vice versa) which will be unlocked in I7 (for those who own both factional cities) if we wish. However, I7 isn't out yet. The patch notes don't mention the new costume options. So why are we getting the costume token now? Won't this tick off people who go to the tailor for some minor reason and wind up using up the token, and then, when I7 comes out, they're out of luck for the big costume change?

So there was no cap before? That's a bit crazy. But why 3 levels? That's too low. It seems like they are basing many things around 5 levels with defense and what not, why not make this 5 levels as well?

Furthermore, I don't see how this even solves the problem, since a message every "second" is still annoying spam and still allowed under the new system. The previous existence of "/ignore" essentially makes this fix (with the new emote issues) more trouble than it's worth.
