Oh it's not just me!
And darn it, I was building a staff kitchen in the base.
*grumble*
Oh well. Who wants a cup of tea and some biscuits whilst we wait?

Your game was deleted without warning. That's what yesterday's patch was about.
You've been middle-fingered, mate.

I was just about to slot one of those Force Feedback +Recharges into Power Bolt. Anyway, reason for thinking so? Yesterday's patch was 12mb. Way more than really needed for a few bug fixes. Then the game and store being down at the same time?
Ah well, I'll watch some Top Gear and enjoy Jezza, Hamster and Captain Slow annoying Alabama.
I got a sudden "I've never seen that before!" plain white popup that said something like.
"You've lost connection to the servers. The server connection has been manually shut down."
I'm wondering if that's an automated message, or if they set that. Because it wasn't exactly notice. AT ALL.
In fact, I spent ten minutes thinking I'd done something to get myself banned. Which I'd never do... unless trying to make an awesome base is ban-worthy? An affront to the gods themselves, my Babel-base!

Pssst, stick it in an AOE instead. Energy Torrent is good. This is because it's got a 10 second "no check" rule built in, so if you stick it in Power Bolt it still won't check every time you fire it. But in Torrent it'll check against everyone hit by the AOE.

Doesn't it just go off when the power fires, rather than for every target it hits?

Then I can fudge ET to be a release of residual energies in the character's power suit, flushing the energy capacitors clean which increases system performance. Go go RP justification!

Force Feedback only fires once, but it has a chance for that one firing for every target hit by an AoE. The formula to calculate the chance of the proc firing on an AoE is 1 - (0.9^n) where n is the number of targets.|

1 target: 10% chance
3 targets: 27% chance
10 targets: 65% chance
16 targets: 81% chance
Force Feedback is quite nice in AoEs.

Why MA ratings should be changed from stars to "like" or "dislike"
A better algorithm for ordering MA arcs

Indeed. I've got it in Fissure on my Fire/Rad and it's pretty darn tasty, even nowadays (it used to be ridiculous)

And that Chance for +End would work the same in Electric Blast's Short Circuit or Ball Lightning? Or is that best kept for Stamina?
It rules in footstomp imo.

Stamina only, or similiar powers. This is because it's set to affect the Target, not the caster.|

(in other words in a blast it gives a chance to give the enemy back some End)
Quote:
The chance for +End procs on the power's targets. In the case of Short Circuit and Ball Lightning... that would be the enemies. It's extraordinarily counterintuitive and I haven't the faintest idea why it works that way, but there you are. It's really only useful in Stamina.

... Dang, like that issue with Chance to Disorient in Stamina disorienting you.
Well, that's a bit of a pain. Anyway, time to get some work done, and hope to spend some money when I get home on delicious new booster pack.
The game is back up, but NC Soft store interface is down in game. And from the web as well.

The previously announced maintenance isn't over yet.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Please, please, oh please be the Mutant pack. Puh-leeeeaaaaaase be the Mutant pack.
Nothing new in the store atm.
Don't they usually tell us when the Boosters are coming, so that we can warm up our credit cards?
The EU servers went down a little while ago, and the Play NC store EU side is now down for maintenance also... does this mean we'll be getting the Mutant Super Booster pack today?
