You didn't get an answer to your question about xfering inf - open an e-mail, put your global address (@ Whatever) into To: and put the amount of inf (up to 999,999,999) in the box marked for inf. I personally put Cold at the tippity top for Demons, but others mentioned will work quite well.

taunt All Scrappers must have Taunt Auras
Hedgefund replied to Purrfekshawn's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
You don't even need to pick up a new pool, Scrapper primaries include Confront. ETA - Confront's not aoe, I know. -
Are you going to use the Defense amplifier full time? I took a stab at this and would make some different choices with a full-time Def amp.

To last 2 posts - 1) The greater point was that crafted IOs sell for significantly less than recipes for some items, this one specifically. I doubt the last 5 are all extra zeros. 2) Huh?
-
I got a Numi proc yesterday. *hold for applause* Normally I'll just craft something like that and store it in base, I don't use it all the time but frequently enough that it'd be used soon. For yucks though, I decided to see how a crafted IO sold vs just the recipe. I'm neither a terribly active nor attentive marketeer but I've noticed that sometimes exotic crafted IOs are cheaper than recipes and it sure seemed to be the case for Numis, recipes tended to sell for about twice an IO. So I listed at a fairly hefty price point since there were 0 for sale at that moment. I checked in today and this is what I see: Now the point isn't "Look at me I made 10M inf!" but rather it's WHY???!!!??? Obviously all of those last 5 sales would have bought an attuned IO. What are you (whoever "you" may be) thinking to say "You know, I could buy this for 1.5-2M and be done but I'd rather pay more than twice that and then buy the salvage and then craft it." Anyway, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, thank you, now I can buy 5 attuned versions of this.

Recently I noticed I wasn't getting a +rch buff from a PD teammate who cast Enforce Morale onto me. My recollection from live was that it provided a 5% buff to +rch that stacked up to 5 times. So I went about logging on my own PD character and another character on a different account to document for this post. What I found was more interesting than expected... At first I cast it on a lvl 50 with a bunch of recharge bonuses. No +rch from EM was shown but I thought the other bonuses cluttered up the screen and made the point more difficult to convey, so I switched to a lvl 1 with no bonuses. Before casting Enforce Morale on lvl 1: After spamming EM 6 times: Wait, wha? There's the recharge I expected. Maybe I somehow missed it on the 50 I tried earlier, so I log that back in to see. Lvl 50 with no EM: Same lvl 50 WITH EM (see buff bar): Recharge is unchanged above, status effects show EM. So I change to build 2, which has nothing in it, with a notable exception... With 3 EMs cast (see buff bar) I get a 5% recharge bonus. I notice my base empowerment buff is still in effect to grant a total of 25%. I delete it and lo and behold: There's a 25% +rch buff from EM, with 6 EMs cast. So, it seems that your limiting function is using all recharge buffs, not just EM itself, to max out the recharge buffs from EM. That's the hypothesis I present to you now. I hope this gets dev attention so this power can work as it's intended.

Cavern Trial not dropping a recipe upon completion
Hedgefund replied to Rejolt's topic in Bug Reports
I always did the same thing and got the same no recipe result. 1. Save Wincott (get merits, notice and badge as applicable) 2. Hit exit on nav bar 3. Call contact 4. Quit team -
There's a big difference between the Lt. version and boss. If I get a boss that power surges I'll basically afk, depending on if my particular toon at that time can take it. The lieut you can power through no problem. Perhaps that's what people are seeing.

I had an AR/Sonic Corr back in the olden days. Even if I found that build it would be useless given the new toys we have to play with. I'll dive into this, it sounds interesting.
-
I don't keep up to date on all the forum goings on so I know this was posed months ago but I still found the question interesting when I read it just now. I searched the Proc guide and found this: This doesn't specifically mention AS cast times but I'm hoping the same logic would apply. Bottom line - this confirms what carroto says and may well be the dev comment they referred to.

One of Confuse's bigger issues is the "confusion" that it diminishes xp when it actually grants a disproportionate amount of xp in the player's favor. See the section on "Confusion and Experience" https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Confuse_(Status_Effect) Just tag a foe and you'll get rewarded at a rate > the proportion of damage you did. No doubt the cheap price is simply a function of econ 101, there just aren't a lot of consumers for it (not many sets have a confuse) while the supply (drops) is plentiful.
-
Poor MA, is that the only set now with 0 AOE now that EM got readjusted?
-
I cast a vote for revamp of TFs but I'd like for that discussion to include that SFs have a huge glaring hole at 30-35. Redside could also use a lowbie (Posi-like) as well. The 8-15 range goes by so fast that a lowbie SF doesn't seem as needed but I'll save that discussion for that thread. My only point here is that a tf thread also include SFs and lack thereof.

YES! I'm 100% with you. I wanted to include a request for some measure of volatility (SD) but thought I'd start off small... -
Weekly Discussion 81: The Player-Market
Hedgefund replied to GM ColdSpark's topic in General Discussion
By and large, I do like the market in its current state. After a year and a half, there's been basically no notable inflation, mostly due to downward forces that have been mentioned above. The main thing I'd like for new functionality is - more data, more data, more data. If I had carte blanch I'd have some means to access the sales history data to query as I wish but I have no expectation of that. What would be nice would be a way to dig deeper. A button to show last 100? I'd be content to have a high and low sale from the last 100, especially if it comes time stamped. -

Anyone know what a Sentinel gets for 'cuda? It's not in the HC wiki. -

I "believe" in what the evidence unequivocally shows in that thread I linked. I'm not going to debate that evidence here, take it to that thread if you're able to disprove any and/or all of the evidence displayed there. -

That's a link to a whole thread with many examples. I suggest reading that rather than just commenting on the image used to represent the thread, your "coulda beens" are dispelled with many examples. -
Cavern Trial not dropping a recipe upon completion
Hedgefund replied to Rejolt's topic in Bug Reports
This is not a "fixed in i13" thing. CoT used to drop whatever pool it is that includes the Achille's Heel proc (not going to look it up). When I say "used to" I'm talking about on September 14th when Cavern was last WST and I ran it literally scores of times, each time receiving a recipe. Was receiving a recipe an error? I don't know but I didn't see anything about fixing this in patch notes between mid September and now. -
Weekly Discussion 81: The Player-Market
Hedgefund replied to GM ColdSpark's topic in General Discussion
Fix this bug I have other thoughts, other suggestions regarding the market and its interface but nothing compares to the urgency I think this bug deserves. At the very least I'd like to hear some communication on why the devs have so far deemed this to not be worth fixing. -
I have a Cold/Sonic. It's an outstanding combo, elite even, my nomination for best buff/debuffer in the game.
-
Ultimately the answer is "whatever you want to play", it's a great debuffer on its own but there is a synergy between -res and (+dmg and -dmg). Oh hey that's what Kinetics does. Other primaries with +dmg and -dmg would be Thermal, Nature, Rad and Traps (maybe others I missed). ETA - I mistakenly included Traps, which only has a source of -DMG. Still good with Sonic, but shouldn't have been included on my list of +/-DMG powersets.

Captcha to Access Forum?
Hedgefund replied to CrudeVileTerror's topic in Website Suggestions & Feedback
I'm having to do redo captchas even after I open the page, go do other things then come back 30 (15 maybe) minutes later and have to do it all over again. If this is indeed some temporary anti-DDoS measure, fine, but otherwise it's annoying as heck. -

I just noticed this too. 6 runs, 0 drops. -
I happened to finish mine a few minutes ago, starting with a blank Mids. Will check yours out.
