Ok so what was the Overwhelming Force Chance for KD Easter Egg?

It triggers an additional power graphic (on a separate proc to the Knockdown one, I think) that has the same graphic as the 'Nuke' Incarnate-unlock costume change (and the nuke attacks that some of the new Shivans use).
Global - @El D
Servers - Protector
Ok thats AWESOME. What color is the graphic? The CCE is a dusty brown while Shivans is green? Do you need the full set to trigger that?
It looks exactly like the CCE emote graphic (don't know if it scales to the enemy it triggers on, though) - Linky
In my experience, you'd just need the proc slotted for it to show up (have a character with all the set slotted sans the quad (I think. I forgot which she's missing, but I know she's only got 5 of them slotted) and she's triggered the graphic before).
Global - @El D
Servers - Protector
I gotta buy this now to check it out, can you convert an enhancer by chance?
i think its a separate proc but extremely rare, ive never seen it happen yet

no, overwhelming force cannot be converted and is intended to not be convertible

No I was about to say I am spamming punch against a pylon and not seeing it occur. Would City of Data have a listing for the proc rate?

There's a line that says "Null (0.5% chance)" in the data, which may or may not be the trigger. That's half a percent chance. Meaning, if it's the trigger, "exceedingly, astoundingly rare".

I wonder if that will be converted to PPM in Issue 24?
Hopefully, the more pieces of the set you have the more likely it is to trigger.
I'd like to be able to plan around the effect if I could, but if its only that rare of a thing...
I've see it quite often. It looks spectacular in Bonfire, though it has a chance of activating when you use the power, when the pseudo-pet is summoned and on the enemies every 10 seconds. The first kind of activation is hilarious (imagine throwing your arms up into the air and a mushroom cloud appearing on you) whilst the other two simply look really cool.
My volcano-themed SS/Fire Brute has it slotted on his Foot Stomp. I have yet to see it proc en masse, but I imagine it will be an epic display.

Yes, CoD doesn't show it, but the VFX is indeed attached to that Null effect. Flat 0.5% chance, and it's exactly the same as the CCE.|

In AoEs that hit a large number of enemies that works out to "every once in a while". So not super rare.
I had the nuke animation happen on a Rikti Test Dummy in RWZ off bonfire. I had not seen it before and haven't seen it since!
EDIT: At level 42, my blaster's slotting is just the proc and 2 SO recharge.
Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

The City of Heroes Community is a special one and I will always look fondly on my times arguing, discussing and playing with you all. Thanks and thanks to the developers for a special experience.
Yes! My demon MM is one step closer to having an alternate costume that looks like she's in an epic heavy metal video. Now all she needs is "/em headbang" (usable by the demons, of course).
Where's Desdemona? She'll be on board with this.

Wait does the effect center on you or the target? IE if you had it in punch.
On the caster. So: you if it's in something you cast, a pet if it's something a pet is casting, an invisible spot if it's an invisible pseudo pet doing the casting.

It's centered on the target of the power - however, many pseudopet powers technically target the caster, which can cause the explosion to appear on the user. Not really what I intended, but it *is* hilarious, so I guess it's a feature. |

So THAT'S what was doing it.
I was playing my Staff/WP Brute solo and occasionally that "nuke" would go off and I was curious why it was going off/how it happened. I was about to bug this today...
But I only have 2 of the OF IO set slotted into one of the attacks (end/rchg and an acc/dmg/end or something I think)... o_O

Ok great I wanted to slot it into Energy Transfer and have it proc on a target. I am guessing in I24 it will be PPM?

No, the easter egg proc will not be changing to PPM. Every other proc in the game will be, but this one would just be silly if it happened more often, since it's both entirely fluff and visually quite "noisy".

It says it has a Penchant for the Dramatic...
But anyways one of the developers, I believe Hawk?, said it had a hidden Easter Egg if you slotted all 6 or something of that nature. What was it?
