Gamma boost values CHANGES depending on your HEALTH. The less health you have the more regen you get, the more health you have the more recovery you have.

The buff has no effect at lvl 50, it remains on the character only as a facilitator for you claiming a notice of the well from the accolade badge section window.

IMO, the intangible here is what you have pointed out - CoH was made with passion for the end product, not the rewards for creating it. When you have that great meal, play that great game, etc., the ones you remember are the ones 'made with love'. Humans can make magic. Another way to say it is... CoH: developers tried to make a great game that they, and hopefully a lot of others, would love, and hopefully make some money off of it. CO: Developers designed the game to make a lot of money, and hopefully it was fun, too... CoH was designed primarilly to be a great game, CO was designed to maximize profits. A lot of games these days are making the same mistake. How much money can we bleed out of our costumers? Not, lets make a great game and the players will come. Blizzard (WoW), created a great game, blew up to 12 million subscribers. Then Blizzard decided to maximize profits per player, and lost 80+% of them since. Build a great game, they will come.... Build a money sink, they will not stay. I wouldnt say CO was designed to maximize profits, at least at launch, to maximise profits you want as many people as possible but instead they made a weird parody niche of a superhero MMO with styling that would alienate a good portion of the potential customers as well, as subs collapsed THEN they tried to squeeze the remaining loyal playerbase for every cent they could get with cash shop junk.

Marvel made a sound decision to pull out of the deal with Cryptic given the end product they released with CO. It had potential but the key thing about designing a game is to NOT design it according to your own ideals and dreams because you are not going to be your core demographic. CO is just so.... put downable....

Checked on this some more, Katana, no matter if set to original or no redraw does NOT display weapon EXCEPT for a fraction of a second upon ability firing, the other people can see you holding the weapon but it is visible only to the player. NOTE - War Mace does NOT suffer from this problem and is visible to everyone.

you dont have sg mode on do you? that can change colours.

cool stuff

I don't actually remember, I take it that can cause it? Pretty sure its the cause, thing is some of the newer sets like ninja training are forced into the no redraw and suffer from it, try it on original.

I do play redside and like to do all the missions but the arcs are very formulaic, theres less content and to stop people blowing through it there are way more kill alls which can be tedious, if Im wrecking a base and stealing all their stuff I shouldnt have to hunt down a guy hiding in a back office.

No redraw option selected Im guessing?

Yes, and its technically "easy" to put in, it just requires people DOING them which is another kettle of fish.

several late game mobs have systems which will make your life harder some have inherent +tohit bonuses (rularru eyeballs have a broken 200% tohit rendering defence worthless) others like nemesis drop vengeance all over the place then there are debuffs as already mentioned. Long story short "soft cap" is a rough guide, little more.

It was a nice gimmick for perma domination and still has a value there even though they moved the +damage component to base but otherwise its a little superfluous. Hasten gives 70% +recharge, you need significantly more than that to be able to get it to perma which means you already have the value of perma hasten applied to your character anyway. I like +recharge as much as the next guy but I dont break my back to perma hasten because it will generally make the build weaker as a whole and take bonuses away from plugging other gaps.

Hm. Silly Saturdays might have to be a thing. "What is the worst way we could do this? Soes everyone have something on that list? Only six blasters and a 10th level PB? Eh, close enough, let's roll!" That would increase the Funs Per Second! Im personally a fan of 8x same AT teams, not sure why.

Never come across a "gear check" for anything outside of having alpha slot unlocked for incarnate stuff and even then have taken people without to unlock it on way. Even on "Master of" runs we have taken sub optimal groups.

No, its if you have a crab build as a alternate build on that character you will have the crab backpack even on your bane spider builds.

Go to P2w vendor, buy https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Temporary_Power:_Envenomed_Dagger, this will be your biggest helper.

Yeah cos someone did a typo in regards to what corresponding rarity a recipe should have and it was never corrected, theres no mystery here.

I have noticed this, at least I did when I was a low level, that said its a trash mechanic and fortunately the devs mentioned its on their radar for a rework so i doubt this will get looked at till then.

I only report the bugs, either requires -res effect or a tooltip correction, Im not angling for buffs, just reporting what I find. *edit* I see what you mean, I didnt know/remember it was a global tank change to their t1 powers and essentially a second class mechanic.

There are masses of mission that are not in oroboros which should be, add them all in, give them a measly 1 merit reward, more content isnt going to hurt.

Are missing the enemy resistance debuff effect that is mentioned on their tooltips and also present on the tanker version.

Yeah, that sucks, the attacks in the fighting pool are worthless to weapon sets due to redraw and yes, you can go "no redraw" but thats pretty damn buggy still.

at those prices for what is a mediocre recipe someone either - Put in the wrong amount. - Their child managed to get on their computer while they were logged in and had the auction house window open. - Someone was spreading their wealth randomly - Someone was doing a somewhat cack handed influence transfer.
