The irony here is that you're playing on these servers while implying that playing on said servers constitutes copyright infringement. No-one's forcing you to play this game, but here you are, showing the very moral decrepitude which you attribute to everyone else. Willingly. Knowingly. Eagerly. Here's another link, just for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocrisy But, to address the accusation of irony, what makes our presence here not ironic is that we're not taking something away from anyone by playing on these servers, or stealing by using the game in this form. NC has no active Co* servers, no players to poach, no subscription numbers to be impacted, they've abandoned the IP in all but legal filings and are negotiating with the HC team for a licensing agreement. We have, to a degree, permission from the owner to play with this toy, and are working toward ensuring that we will continue to be permitted to do so. We are not stealing from NC, we have tacit approval to use the IP while negotiations are conducted. We are not counterfeiting anything, we are not attempting to pass off the HC version of Co* as the original. We are not plagiarizing, nothing has been stolen, copied or "borrowed without permission". In contrast, directly copying another Co* server group's assets would be theft, as those are original works created with the specific intent of drawing players to their servers and creating a unique experience. We do not have agreements with other Co* server groups, we are not negotiating agreements with those other server groups, and stealing their assets would not only impair their ability to draw in players with their unique content, it would also constitute theft of original works, counterfeiting of distinct server groups and plagiarism of their assets. In other words, you're full of shit.

I don't. And that has nothing to do with my post. Also, an homage is a tribute, a nod, a respectful gesture. Taking another server group's ideas to diminish their uniqueness and reduce their player base is not an homage, it's malicious and reprehensible. Finish kindergarten so you learn what words mean before you use them.

"You think we'll get more controllers in here if we set 'em on fire?" "Remember when that Drab the Destructor guy came in, got drunk and fought a rabbit?" "We could get some of those Cage boys, and that actor, and have a Cage Cage Cage match!" "If we put 'em in pants, we could sell it as 'family-friendly entertainment'." "Oooooooooooooooooh, right in the banana." "It's your turn to clean the kennels."

Stop using lube. 😁

Stop eating those burritos.

Because the power is flagged "Ignore external strength boosts", not the Resistance. It's a package deal, the whole power is affected by that flag, and the only comparable flag which could be applied exclusively to the Resistance is "Ignore enhancements and other boosts"... which would obviate the purpose of Resistance being enhanceable in the power.

I had no idea poison toads smoked, much less engaged in role-playing. Fascinating.

Oh freddled gruntbuggly, Thy micturations are to me As plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee. Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes, And hooptiously drangle me with crinkly bindlewurdles, Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts With my blurglecruncheon, see if I don't!

https://cod.uberguy.net/html/power.html?power=brute_defense.fiery_aura.consume&at=brute Consume gives 50% resistance to -Endurance, not -Recovery. Resistance to -Endurance isn't shown in stats, resistance to -Recovery is.

No sheep anywhere, badgers in every household, technological differences, mad scientists running things, shapeshifters... we're playing in Walternate's universe.

My brain went somewhere weird again. Just finished making Kaolin Monk, a porcelain statue suffused with Qi, on Everlasting.

Looking over a couple of other scrapper Taunt auras, the discrepancy appears to be two-fold. The second set of Taunts (there are two in each, a PvP/non-Raid PvE, and a Raid PvE), behind the Redirect, should be the actual, and only, Taunts, based on a comparison to other Taunt auras (Invincibility and Against All Odds). But all four of the Taunts in Entropic Aura are using the wrong table, too. They're using Melee_Ones instead of the Melee_InherentTaunt table used by other Taunt auras. Deleting the redirect entirely and setting the 2.25s Taunts to Melee_InherentTaunt at scale 1 would resolve the issue. While I was poking around, I also noticed that Electric Armor's Power Sink has a +5% Rage effect, presumably another dangling left-over from the brute inherent.

You appear to be confusing yourself with @arcanaville. @arcanaville spent hundreds of hours accumulating data samples in the tens of thousands, several times, in order to determine how things worked and verify, for her own edification, that they were, indeed, working. You had to be shouted at to agree to one test, grudgingly, and have provided not a single iota of data, from that test or from any other. @arcanaville isolated a temporal discrepancy which wasn't accounted for in animation times, root times, individual animation frames or anywhere else, and tracked it down to server ticks adding the unaccounted latency between expected use/recharge times and real use/recharge times (hence Arcanatime). You? You don't even know what your powers do in this game, much less how the engine works. @arcanaville accounted for variables, all of the variables, and when something didn't add up, she dug until she found what was missing. Then she shared what she did, how she did it and why. You ignore variables, to the point of adamantly arguing against accounting for variables, and dismiss anything that doesn't fit within your predetermined conclusion. @arcanaville recognized that the open communication line that Cryptic mandated between developers and players was there to be used, had the intelligence and foresight to determine which questions to ask, and the courtesy to share the answers with everyone. You call that "inside information" and try to spin it as secretive and used only for personal glory. @arcanaville was polite, reasonable and a little shy, and never acted like a pompous ass. If anything, she was embarrassed by the constant attention and adulation that she didn't believe she deserved or warranted, and she stated on more than one occasion that she wasn't special and that it was what everyone else was doing that was noteworthy. She exuded modesty even when she was riled up. You, on the other hand, have given the impression of being arrogantly convinced of your own grandiosity and so closed-minded that it's nauseating. @arcanaville was the first one to stand up and call herself out when she made mistakes. She didn't wait for someone to catch her with her pants down, she had the courage to say, "I was wrong", to correct what she'd screwed up, and to make sure everyone knew. You refuse to admit that you're fallible, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. @arcanaville was literate, and her posts displayed the same attention to detail that her testing and information dissemination showed. Reading what you write is like stabbing oneself in the eye with a rusty spork. Do you even proofread, bro? Don't even try to compare yourself to @arcanaville, and don't imagine that you can get away with talking shit about her simply because she hasn't posted in a while. Wrong fucking line to cross.

We're all naked.

He "knew" that Exhausted imposed -100% Recovery. And that Staff/Willpower is unplayable without dumping multiple slots in Stamina. So... probably not.

Most of us have two power sets, a primary and a secondary. Unless you're playing your own private server, I'm confident that you have a second power set, which can benefit from Hasten. Have you considered using that second set, instead of bitching and whining because you can't pwn the game with SR alone? Also, there are a lot of damage mitigation sets which don't get much, or anything, from Hasten. SR isn't special or unique in this regard. There's no argument you can contrive to make SR a poster child for sad-faced players using Hasten. Ah, so you're allowed to select the pool powers you want, the pool powers which will benefit your build, but @Bill Z Bubba is restricted in his choices. And you refuse to test unless you can select an enemy group which you have some confidence of surviving against, whereas you insist that @Bill Z Bubba has to fight the enemy group that many players actively avoid because they're such a pain in the ass. Sounds like it's not about real information, it's about "winning", and you're refusing to participate unless you can use loaded dice.

Same reason our characters are limited to one primary and one secondary, four power pools, one *PP, 67 slots to place in powers, et cetera. To create balance, while still permitting players to make decisions which feel important and meaningful to their characters within that balance.
