Tip: Close Windows and Dialog Windows Without the Mouse
macskull replied to BlackSpectre's topic in General Discussion
The reward windows have always worked this way, they'll stay there until you choose an option even if you're logged out. -
Tip: Close Windows and Dialog Windows Without the Mouse
macskull replied to BlackSpectre's topic in General Discussion
I just bind a key to /dialogyes and another key to /dialogno, which covers most routine popups. -
There's no way to do what you're trying to do, since powers only care about the short name for binds. Side note: this is exactly why the Controller version is called Thermal Shield.

Additional Alternate Drop for Hami raids
macskull replied to DrRocket's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I wasn't around when that update was in beta testing or I probably would have argued against it too. I understand why it happened, but it did absolutely nothing to address the problem it was supposed to address. -
Additional Alternate Drop for Hami raids
macskull replied to DrRocket's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Every single piece of incarnate-related material can be converted into threads which can then be used to purchase inspirations from Luna to sell on the AH. It's why removing the empyprean -> reward merit conversion was such a joke - you can still do the exact same thing as before just with a couple more steps. EDIT: It's not super efficient or fast since the going rates for super inspirations vary wildly and demand isn't as high as, say, converters or boosters, but making some inf while clearing out useless inventory is better than making no inf and being stuffed with useless inventory (and yes, even VR salvage is useless if you're done making your incarnate abilities). -
Additional Alternate Drop for Hami raids
macskull replied to DrRocket's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Anyways, more on-topic: Hami isn't really incarnate content so the argument really should be whether incarnate salvage would be an appropriate drop. There was some discussion from a dev a while back on how they wouldn't mind adjusting the Hami-O drop table to prioritize the newer (and more valuable) ones if all four blooms were cleared, which I think would be an interesting dynamic change. -
Additional Alternate Drop for Hami raids
macskull replied to DrRocket's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Again, if people are complaining they're getting too much stuff that they have to choose to get, I don't think we need to worry about their opinions. It doesn't matter anyways, since at the end of the day you can turn any incarnate-related materials into inf so "I have too many incarnate materials I can't use" is an entirely self-caused problem. -

...Through an optional dialog they could choose to completely ignore? -
Probably because the existing base storage items predate recipes and they never bothered to add them afterwards since almost no work was done on SG bases after inventions were added.

Add option to decline repeated invites
macskull replied to srmalloy's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Can you not just leave the invite dialog open and shove it off to a corner if they spam it a second time? You won't get any more after that. -
You cannot select enemy players through friend lists in PvP zones.

The wiki's information about travel powers and caps is several years out of date at this point, unfortunately.

Absolute Amazement - the more you have, the less powerful the
macskull replied to JayboH's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I understand OP's issue with the proc but to me it's more that the proc itself isn't useful. A small, unenhanceable, affected-by-level-differences tohit debuff isn't that useful of a slot pick in any circumstance and especially not in this one. -
Wealth redistribution system to help new players
macskull replied to Intermipants's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Prismatic Aether kind of already does this. It's only really good for cosmetic stuff so the players who are chasing them have the inf to throw away - and you can get them early on by running the WST or randomly from mission completions. -
Seismic is hamstrung by some really goofy limitations: You or your target must be on the ground for some powers to execute (makes sense thematically but sucks mechanically). Using the Aim equivalent consumes your special ability instead of granting it. This means you have to get in the habit of bunny-hopping while casting it if you want to use it on something like Stalagmite instead of wasting it on a small heal, which is really weird considering you need to be on the ground for several of your other powers. Empowered Rock Shards is a noob trap and there's not much point in wasting Seismic Pressure stacks on it when Staglamite is that much better. There's only a five percent chance for Seismic Shockwaves to cause knock with each tick, and there's a 10-second suppression/lockout period (and that's for any source of knock, not just Seismic Shockwaves). Like you mentioned, the nuke is basically just a corpse-blasting generator. Sure, you can run ahead of a group to ensure it actually does something meaningful by the time the rest of the group gets there, but the power notifies mobs immediately on casting while the actual damage doesn't happen until several seconds afterwards.

Suggestion: Time-based "quick-reply" slash command
macskull replied to biostem's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
The backspace key will start a reply to the person who sent you the most recent tell as of when you pressed the key. The game can't magically alter user input in the way you're describing. -
Invention enhancements always have a fixed bonus and never expire. A level 30 enhancement will always provide the same values no matter what level you are, with the tradeoff being the actual enhancement values change depending on the level of an enhancement. In this specific example, the Luck of the Gambler: Defense/Increased Global Recharge Speed has two separate effects: It enhances the defense values of any defense power it's slotted in. This value changes with the level of the enhancement. So, for example, a level 30 LotG will provide about 13.1% defense enhancement value, which does not change as you level up. A level 50 LotG provides about 15.9% defense enhancement value. The "increased global recharge speed" portion functions just like a set bonus, which means it is always the same regardless of what level the enhancement is or what level you are.

Setting to change Target Cones to PBCones
macskull replied to ThatGuyCDude's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
This aims you in the right direction, but it does not ensure you are within range of the power before executing it, which is my other gripe about targetless cones. -
Setting to change Target Cones to PBCones
macskull replied to ThatGuyCDude's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Yeah no, your character turning towards the target to execute a power is a feature, not something to get rid of. -
Set villain names to always show with /optionset showvillainname 1 This will let you quickly see what rank anything is by the color of its name, assuming you’re familiar with the conning system. EDIT: If you find that to be too cluttered for your liking you can change the 1 to a 6, which will cause names to appear either when the enemy is targeted or when you mouse over them. I prefer the first way though.

I’m not sure why you’d want to skip the damage aura on characters that have one. It’s the closest thing to a free attack you can get in this game.

MM Pet Controls for Dominators and VEATs
macskull replied to TheLastDefense's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
There’s no legitimate reason why any character with summonable pets shouldn’t be able to control them. There just isn’t. -
It hasn’t changed, so something else must be happening.
