Really, if you understand the message they're trying to get across, why do you care how they misspell or misuse the terminology? Especially since it adds nothing to the thread. Not to mention that there are many people who play CoH who aren't primarily english speakers or aren't very good typists for one reason or another, at no fault of their own.

I was not gonna buy them, so I have done squat research. You could have collected me off the floor when I saw them at WentWorths!

So, i bought a set of 6 tuned Dominator ATO for my new project. THe Dominator I have planned has 5 sets of Purples on him. So, will the ATO conflict with this? Or it conficts only if I catalyze them? Or...okay I'm lost. Can i buy a vowel?

Can you boost them to +5 then use a catalyst also?

You can only boost IOs. ATOs aren't IOs. They can't be boosted at all.

Blue, the purpled version of the ATOs that give 10% recharge have the same bonus name as the regular Purple set recharge bonus name and will hit the Rule of 5 limit.

Leave the ATO orange or sub it for a regular Purple. Subbing for a regular Purple to get the 5th 10% might be a better build choice anyway. I hate putting a Hecatomb in Brawl for instance .

Because when you get the terminology wrong, you misunderstand the mechanics. E.g., when IO Sets first came out, people were calling all the Special IOs "Uniques". Well, some of them were Unique, but many were not and that caused all sorts of confusion. It was a few months before people realized that you can put 5 LotG:+Recharge in one build.

Then they started calling them "Globals". But some of them weren't global, they were what we now call 'Procs' that only affect the power they're in.

When people call ATOs "ATIOs", they think they operate like IOs, which they don't. They are attuned, they can't be boosted, they're not from recipes, Freemiums can use them, etc...

That's why the right terminology is important.

As for the right spelling and grammatical forms of Catalyst: Well aside from typos, using the wrong form just makes one look dumb.

The only excuse I have for my typo is that I frequently transpose letters when typing, and I posted that on my phone, which doesn't give me a red line under typos. Seriously, I need to figure out where to put the ink in my monitor, because I must be low on red by now.

Ok. Making them characterbound and dropping from mobs is indeed one of the stupidest restrictions the devs have ever implemented then . Then next month Posi will be ranting people have 6slotted an ATO set and are "hoarding" 50 Catalysts. LOL.

Catalysis, noun - the process of speeding up or causing a reaction, accent on second syllable

Catalyst, noun - the thing causing the reaction, accent on first syllable

Catalyze (catalyzing, catalyzed), verb - to cause catalysis to happen, accent on first syllable

Catalytic, adj. - pertaining to catalysis, accent on first syllable.
Say no to: Catalytizing, catalystizing, catalyzation, and catalytization. They are not the right forms.
Say no to: Grammar Police!
