[Minimizing Rad defense FX effects]

I use the following - 

 

1. click "Menu"

2. click "Options"

3. click the tab "Graphics and Audio"

4. the sixth line from the top is "Advanced Graphics Settings".  Change that to "Enabled"

5. scroll down to the section "Advanced Graphics Settings" and change "Suppress FX When Close" to "Enabled"

6. go to the bottom left of the "Options" window and click "Apply Now"

7. go to your chat window and type "/suppressclosefxdist 99" (without the quotations) and press "Enter" on your keyboard

 

The number "99" represents the camera distance from your character before the FX are visible to you.  You can change that number to whatever you want from 0-max camera distance.

 

For reference, I found them at the links below.  Hope that helps 🙂

That's a bummer, but thanks for the replies.

If you check out the Farm Fresh Builds post in the Guides section, there is an intricate series of macros designed to do this that I still use to this day...

Yes, I read it but that's not what I'm trying to do.  I'm trying to use 3 of the exact same level of red inspirations in 1 click, not 3 different levels of reds in 1 click.

[A Macro for using more than 1 inspiration at a time?]

If I wanted to make a macro that would consume multiple Furious Rage inspirations, how would it look?  I tried /macro Furious "inspexec_name Furious_Rage$$inspexec_name Furious_Rage$$inspexec_name Furious_Rage" to consume 3 Furious Rage with 1 click but it doesn't work.  Thoughts?

You are discounting unknown stats and variables that could be even better than recharge.

For example the devs could be working on a new stats never before seen like

 

+10% cast speed

 

probably not. but that's beside the point.

Variety is the spice of life.

While we may disagree on what we want, we all want the same thing

 

MORE PURPLE IO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I want EQUITY for those builds that have a hard time getting purple IO sets in their builds with a +10% recharge bonus for Healing, Endurance Modification, Defense, Resistance, Taunt, To Hit Buff, To Hit Debuff, Slow, Defense, Fear, and Knockback.  THAT'S what I want 🙂

Because of the nature of my work IRL ... this does not work the way you think it does.

 

Apologize for the typeo - hope you comprehend the whole toxicity of Protip and Protip #2

 

Also hope you see the toxicity of parsing out someone elses words and thereby losing the context of the whole statement.

 

Not only is discord and disagreement a natural part of a discussion, it is vital.

An inability to tolerate or accept that is .... well I hope you can figure that out.

There are people in this very thread who have disagreed with me, and in some cases proven me wrong.

I still listen to them and value their opinion.

 

You want something and you want it now.

Ok.

You be you. (of course you will)

Most will consider you and your approach trolling and put you on ignore.

This has made me think of rewatching the original Willie Wonka for some reason ... 

 

 

And I hope you comprehend the whole toxicity of "Newsflash", but of course no one called him out for using it, right?

 

Your words weren't "parsed".  They were addressed point by point.

 

I want something that is equitable for everyone.  At no point did I state that I wanted it "now".

 

Now, you be you (of course you will).

 

Continue to think that you speak for everyone else.

 

I'm done with you.

 

 

[EAT: Nictus]

I find it rather pathetic that the forum divas run to the mods when someone like me calls out their BS.  Then, my posts get deleted but what I said is still quoted.  Absolutely pathetic.

Yes, and some very self-centered ones at that.

This is how forums work.

 

Only because some of them obviously have nothing better to do than live on the forums.

I DO agree we need more options in set bonuses outside of +recharge.

 

Okay, but keep in mind that there are some folks out there who don't have the same options that you do.

If You need recharge in your build ... there are ways to make that happen. 

 

Yeah, no.  Not falling for the whole "Just take Hasten" excuse.  Some of us want the same +recharge opportunities in our builds from purple IO's that others have.

You went into another thread with the explicit purpose of derailing that thread. That looks like trolling to me.

 

Wrong.  I went into another thread, read the OP's suggestion, disagreed with it, and then took the time to explain why I disagreed with it

My hope is for more options as in greater variety.

 

So... "screw" the other players that don't have the same options that you do because you want more variety?  That's a really self-centered way of looking at things.

Why we disagree was stated.

You just don't like the reasons.

You're entitled to to that.

 

That's a lie.  You reacted 6 hours ago to my post, but didn't reply until 28 minutes ago.  Unless... you just admitted that you did reply... but with a different account?  I mean... you did just say "we".

So you don't want others to state that they don't like it, and anyone who *does* is "keeping you from having options," even though nobody here has any power to keep anything away from anyone if they're not a dev.

 

*shakes head*

 

Ever think that maybe, just maybe, people have a reason other than trying to keep you, personally, down for disagreeing with the idea?

 

I want you think... slowly... and really hard... about what the three of you (or is it one of you?) are doing.  You want to disagree with someone, and then cry when you are questioned about why you disagree?  Wow.  Just... wow.  How dare us mere mortals attempt to question your disagreement of something that doesn't even have to effect you.

Protip - Disagree we need more of the same + recharge. If we want options then lets as for new and varied options for new purples. Not the same old same old. It's really that simple.

 

Protip # 2 - It's not all about you.  You see, not everyone can use the same purple sets as you, so yes... they do need more options for the "same old same old".  Apparently I didn't explain it simple enough.

Wow.

 

News flash - *people can have differing opinions.* It's not some secret cabal trying to keep you down. 

Followup - people agreeing or disagreeing with it doesn't mean jack about it getting into the game or not, unless those people are the devs themselves who would make those changes. And given no dev has commented in the thread...

 

Protip -  Options are a good thing.  If you don't want new purple sets with a +10% recharge bonus for your builds, then don't use them.  It's really that simple.

Precisely my point.  We need more purple sets with it.

(looks at thumbs down)

Well... it's easy to see who doesn't want the rest of us to have options around here.

There are 10 purple sets if you drop ATOs and WOs. Of those 10, 1 does not have the +10% recharge boost. We can only gain the benefit of any specific bonus, like +10% recharge, up to 5 times. And there are already 9 sets that grant it.

 

Not everyone can slot 5 purple sets in their build.  So, like the OP stated, it would be nice to have more options.

The Winter Origin enhancements are still classified as Rare or Very Rare enhancements depending on whether they are the standard or superior forms. The superior versions are treated the same as the purple sets, having the same requirements to be slotted. (You must be level 50 to slot a superior form Winter Origin enhancement or to catalyze a standard form to a superior form.) They also grant the same magnitude bonuses. So they are the same in my book.

 

Your book is wrong, and as BrandX stated they're missing the +Recharge bonus that for some crazy reason you seem to have an aversion to.

[Purple IOs for Heal, Resist Damage, Defense Sets, ...]

Precisely my point.  We need more purple sets with it.

[Purple IOs for Heal, Resist Damage, Defense Sets, ...]

I agree with the purple part, provided that they come with the +10% recharge set bonus.

[Praetorian alignments from Null the Gull]

Great suggestion!  On a similar note, I wish there was a mod that could change the alignment icon on the UI and character select screen.  I'd love the option to keep my gold stars :)

[Changing the title screen music while also using extra launch parameters?]

The version I posted has more distinct vocals.  Both are nice, I just prefer the other one /shrug.  Thanks.

Maybe you could try a simple replacement? Just rename that file N_MenuMusic_loop.ogg, and put it in Homecoming > data > sound> ogg > Music

That's how I got my game to play the Ominous Voice version of the OG theme, anyway.

 

 

That did the trick!  Thanks 🙂

[Changing the title screen music while also using extra launch parameters?]

Thanks, Michiyo.  Although it does work with -uiskin 2, the music seems slightly different.  I was trying to get -uiskin 2 to play with this version https://archive.paragonwiki.com/w/images//7/72/P_Music1_loop.ogg .  Is there a way to do that?  Thanks.

 

Edit: I tried to create the mod, but I don't know how to convert the .ogg to a .pigg for the Mod database.

[Suggest a good Gold-side solo character]

Teams are harder to come by on gold side, and many of the missions have ambushes.  I recommend something that can solo well, such as a brute, and take your time in the missions.  Also, gold side has a lot of great story arcs, but they are easy to outlevel by mistake.  I recommend using something like this guide to help experience (pun intended) what gold side has to offer -

 

[Changing the title screen music while also using extra launch parameters?]

Greetings,

 

-uiskin 2 uses the title screen music from Freedom.  I'd like to change that on my computer to the title screen music from Going Rogue.  Is there a way to change the title screen music while also using extra launch parameters (in this case -uiskin 2)?

 

Thanks.
