    Heya Ragna, I remember you, my old Global was Blue Mime, but the current one is @Queen of Thorns  I play on the Reunion (EU) server.  Used to play a lot of alts in the Angels and in Adventure Follies on Virtue.  got an old screenshot with some of my alt names, maybe will recognize....but I had many more.

    How did you replace the character load background?  Is there a link for instructions or a forum post you can point me to?

     

    Thanks!

    I don’t understand how Many otherwise intelligent and discerning posters are able to make this obvious error comparing something that lasts 60 seconds and you can only carry a few of to something that lasts up to 8 hours. No, inspirations are Not comparable to or better than amps.

     

    I was talking about the value, not the duration.  You said that the boosters were "pretty massive", which I took to mean that you though their value was overwhelming.  If you meant that they were curve-breaking because of their duration, I misunderstood you, and apologize for my misunderstanding.

    they’re pretty massive. I don’t know about game breaking, but they basically eliminate any sort of curve of power from the first twenty five levels or so.

     

    Edit, part 2:

    Never mind.  I just read the new patch notes and this change was taken out.  Checked on beta and the amplifiers are back to 1000 inf/hour at level 1.  Thanks!

     

     

     

    I don't know.  I get these on every single character I start, and while they are nice I don't find that they ruin any sort of power curve.  It's just nice to have some mez protection at low level to me.

     

    Edit:

     

    Sorry, I just had to go back and check the actual numbers.  Survival bumps HP by about 13%, regen by +0.23 hp.sec and rec by +0.33 end/sec.  Offense gives +10% to-hit and +15% damage and recharge, and defense gives +7.5% resistance to all and +5% def to all.  The only one I can see that is arguably curve-altering on a lowbie is status protection.

    Everything else you can get, and get better in most cases, from a 25 inf inspiration.  So how is this ruining a curve?

    What does being Level 1 have to do with the cost of Amplifiers? Are people assuming that because a player is Level 1, they have no influence or are unable to acquire influence?

     

    No, but it just seems excessive to go from something like 8K per full charge of a booster to 20M per full charge.  If they want to get rid of the scaling, why not just set it to what it is for level 1 for everyone?  Are these boosters seriously all that game breaking?

  5. P2W Amplifiers

    • Can now be deleted.
    • The countdown timer now uses "UsageTime" instead of "LifeTimeInGame". This will prevent the time from running down if the power is disabled (e.g. challenge modes).
    • Price no longer scales with level. The price is now set to 2.5M influence/hour.

     

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?  so it now costs 20 million inf EACH for a full 8 hours of amplifiers?  so 60 million per new character?  Isn't this a little much?

  6. Ok, I don't get it.  Why is a power with -SPD and Damage 1.04 END per second? I was on a team with someone the other day and he commented that his Fire/FF troller was awesome after Hot Feet and Dispersion Shield...why?  Because he wants to spend 1.56+ end per second?

     

    Serious question here.  I don't get it.  Any thoughts?

  7. If course, RIGHT AFTER I posted this I figured it out.  I had an extra quote in there.  This works fine:

     

    /bind ` macro_image "Inspiration_Health_Lvl_1" "Eat a Green" "inspexec_Name respite$$inspexec_Name dramatic improvement$$inspexec_Name Resurgence$$inspexec_Name Perfect health"

     

    Sorry! Move along now, nothing to see here!

  8. Apologies if this has been asked before.  I want to make a bind that creates a macro, specifically creates a macro that will do the "fire inspirations by color regardless of size" trick.  This is what I have so far:

     

    /bind ` "macro_image "Inspiration_Health_Lvl_1" "Eat a Green" "inspexec_Name respite$$inspexec_Name dramatic improvement$$inspexec_Name Resurgence$$inspexec_Name Perfect health""

     

    If I don't try to bind it, it works perfectly, but I want them for each color of inspirs on 218 alts, and copy/pasting that so many times  will make my eyeballs bleed. So I thought if I bind it, and then bindloadfile the next one each time I could load them in quickly.

     

    However, when I try to run the above command I get a message saying "unknown command: macro_image" when I hit the ` key.  If I take out all the sizing for the inspirs, it works fine:

     

    /bind ` "macro_image "Inspiration_Health_Lvl_1" "Eat a Green" "inspexec_Name respite""

     

    But, I need the sizing.  I'm assuming it's choking on the multicommand with the $$ in it, but I don't know what to do to make it accept that.  Anyone have any ideas?

     

    Thanks in advance!

     

  9. Edit: Never mind, I found it.  Thanks anyhow!

     

    I have a question, and no, I didn't read all 15 pages of this thread first - sorry if this has been answered before. 

     

    The patch notes say that you can use /enterbasefrompasscode with the LRT to enter any base, but I don't understand how. Can someone clarify please?

     

    Thanks!

  10. Happened to me in game today, 25 Electric/Shield stalker on Excelsior, I zoned into Night Ward from my base, go the badge at the mansion door and walked out and clicked the Find Contact button and got that message ("An error has occurred with the Contact Finder.  No contacts could be found for your level, alignment, and universe."), so I clicked it again and got it again, then I zoned to Talos from the TUNNEL and it went away.  Bugged in game via /petition.

  11. Hi all - this may have been reported already, but the Vorpal Judgement Radial is giving the defense bonus all the time, instead of having the little green clicky on the power to toggle it off and on.  Not sure how to fix it myself, but I wanted to report it just in case.

     

    Thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing on this!

    I remember Graeknight from the forums.

     

    Not sure ever met in game.

     

    Welcome welcome!

    Rook!  I used to come and hang out in the Rookery every morning.  I was a quiet one so you probably don't remember me. The only other person I can recall of the top of my head was UncleBob, but I'm sure other names will come to me.  I remember Graeknight, too.  Hey, Grae!

    From Virtue here.

    On Live I think my global was @ZephyrWind

    Heroes: Trazor, Caitlyn Massey

    Villains included Lady Doanya, 

    too many alts to remember 

     

    Was a member of the VG White Widows and then a member of The Oddities. 

    Looking for former members.

    Nope, that was my global.  And my main, and my forum name.  Nice to know you, though (fellow Virtuite, woo!)

    I mean, what you're basically asking for here is for characters to have to go to the bathroom - visit a specific place to conduct an unpleasant but necessary task now and then, studiously ignore anyone else present, and leave as soon as they're done.  That's not gameplay or community; that's a chore.

    Oh, my, that is hysterically awesome.  Thank you for being the thing that made this day enjoyable!

    I have a lot of alts.  I cannot remember which one is waiting for purchases from the AH to make an IO set, which one still needs to do Posi 1, etc.

     

    It would be great if we could save some text notes for characters in the character selection screen so you could comment on what a character needed to do or some other note when browsing which character to play.

    Agreed.  I've also always wanted to have the "XP Wheel" show on the selection screen so I can see who is close to level when I have only an hour or so to play.
