Where the heck are these from?

I was looking at Mids database in Set Bonuses for some reason and stumbled across a few entries that I'd never heard of before:

Inexhaustibility: Out of Combat +Hit Points/Endurance
Large Critical Hit Bonus
Small Critical Hit Bonus
Neuron's Alacrity

Putting them into brackets allows you to see them and their effects. Inexhaustibility sounds interesting, and does Neuron's Alacrity mean we're going to be seeing Praetorian named IO's showing up?

Anyone know where the info was found on these? I keep as up to date as I can on most goings on in regards to CoH, but I've never heard of these.

I suspect these two (or at least the large one) may be from the upcoming "Scrapper's Strike" IO set...

There are "Superior" effects down at the bottom listed for some of the ATIO's. So perhaps the small one is for the normal set, and the large for the purple-like 'superior' set?

Though I was more wondering about where the information came from.

That's what I was thinking.

Not sure what you mean by "where the information came from". I took the Scrapper set info right out of the game, from the actual IOs you can look up in the in-game AH.

Oh! I didn't know they were actually in the auction house.

I was more curious as to the other two, though, as I checked the Auction House just to make sure and I came up with nothing.

My theory is Mids gets info loaded via a device which allows near-future time travel. It's just a theory, but that's the best I've come up with to date.

Well, it looks to me like Mids does some pigg diving of their own to keep ahead of the 'curve' if you will of what the devs throw out. That way they can release the information on 'release day' instead of having to wait for them to re-code everything once its released to the live servers.

But, these set bonuses look like either specfic IO sets, or IOs that will be added at a later time (i21.5 or i22 perhaps?) especially if they are linkable on the live servers right now.

I don't know about Inexhaustibility, but Neuron's Alacrity has been defined in-game since before GR launched.

Lots of things get into the pigg files long before they are announced or put into production. I don't believe the Mids people do any pigg diving themselves; they just get the raw data from elsewhere and import it wholesale. In that way Mids is a lot like the Market. Sometimes things just show up because enough of the data files have been updated with some new Recipe, Enhancement, or whatever. It makes sense from a software development point of view. Adding new IOs means recipes (crafting requirements), enhancements, set bonuses, power changes, art, and drop table/purchase info (reward merits, Amerits, ...). As long as you don't do that last step to put the IOs into the game, you can do everything else to test them.


Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.
