I just respectd my stalker to trade energy torrent out for spring attack. Oh boy!... Im hoping my spring attack is just flawed and will be fixed soon... The question.. Why does spring attack power allow me to target foes just like a tp power such as lightning rod, but I go straight up and come straight down? If this is the case, shouldnt i just be able to click the power such as lightning clap or stomp. If your going to choose spring attack be ready for a ranged targeting system that allows you to target enemies from a distant.....only to you wont go anywhere but up an down... am I kidding myself..? please send me my respec back thnx

Spring Attack works just like Lightning Rod and Shield Charge. Queue the power, move your cursor/mouse to target area, and left click on mouse to select tagret area, Jump! Land! Pseudo pet attacks foes in the surrounding area.

Technically anyone browsing the forum isn't in-game, so if anything you wasted people's forum time.

Well sure, but you're using your forum time when you're tabbed out, not your game time.

But what if his forum time subtracts from his game time, and therefore, wasting his forum time causes a loss of game time?

It kind of does... and doesn't. Now I'm confused too!

I was going to log into the game after reading this, but spent so much time reading DarkGob's terrible explanations... that this forum time ended up entirely taking away from my in-game time.
I will now stay logged in 5 minutes longer than I intended to...

However, I can never get this time back.
In fact, the rest of my life will be affected by the time I spent here, in this very post. THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!

Think of it like CoH currency. We can convert Time Merits into either Forum Time Merits or Game Time Merits. Therefore spending Forum Time Merits has an opportunity cost of Game Time Merits as they're both broken down from the same master currency (Time Merits).

Soon Game Time Merits will further break up into new currencies such as Store Time Merits. Oh, I did not want to go there...



(Note: I don't mind currencies, although I know the reputation they have around here. My intention was amusement.)

It still annoys me that Time Merits are gated by time.

That didn't bother me so much until they nerfed the income merit exchange rate. I used to get almost 30% more income merits per time merit exchanged. If they nerf it again the time vs reward is going to be terrible.
