Ridiculous Girl

then i reread your question and realized that i gave you a corned beef on rye sandwich when you asked for the menu... 😆 i looked again and no the alpha is not showing up on the buff icons for thugs. and it shows on demons... so yes, the buff power icon is not showing on thugs, but the effects are *cough* in effect... 😄

i had to ask on help because i was looking on my thugs/kin under the combat attributes and forgot that the alpha affects the power itself and not base damage. so i slotted in the basic musculature boost and looked at my enhancement management screen and detailed info for the bruiser. bruiser with agility slotted in... bruiser with musclacture slotted in... there is a difference there in damage, but not much. this is probably due to the fact that he might be already capped on damage or close to it, because of the enhancements i have slotted inthe power. so i looked under my gang war, which has no damage enhancements added to it, and the detailed info for one of the posse. posse sledgehammer with agility... same posse with musculature... and voila! the 65.30 smashing damage turns into 81.48 smashing damage. so, your alpha slot power is probably not showing up because you were like me and looking in the wrong places. 😄

did you make this to torture me? is this hell? what does it mean???

can we get some new patch notes? because this is driving me crazy... 😆

i have come to the conclusion that the phrase "Something secret hidden in the orange!" is some sort of subliminal mesage... 🤪

if the tier 3 angel does not look like this... it's a no go! 😁 PS... aren't there already cherubim pets in game already? 😄

uh houston, we may have a problem... or at least if you do this %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% by holding the % key down in editor you get this... (and the 2514/3000 is the max limit due to hidden text) just FYI... if someone else would try this, just to see if that happens with them, i would appreciate it. because i was experimenting with something else and i hope i did not break something... 😄

ERMAGERD!!! Correction!!! if i have only 1 single % symbol in the text, it multiplies! they breed like rabbits with each saved edit!!! 🤪

well, still questioning my sanity and this is still a thing... i opened my still published mission, went to edit and got this... because after all the testing of this bug the last time and reaching the character limit, i forgot to shorten the souvenir text. so there are probably hundreds of players, ok maybe 5 players, that have an AE souvenir that looks like this... since the text bleeds off to the side... it actually reads... just like before... so... i wanted to know if anything has changed. to recap; if the text read "0.01%" nothing would happen when i would edit my mission and save/republish. (read the following entry) BUT! but, if the text read "0.01%%%%%" (because ridiculous) the editor would add "%%%%" to the souvenir text each time that it was saved. the following edit would it be "0.01%%%%%%%%%", etc... this geometric progression would add to the text each time that i edited and saved/republished the mission, even if i did not do anything with that particular text. it would only take a handful of edits before the text field would fill up to the maximum limit of 3000 characters. so i shortened the text to just one long line of %%%%%s, republished, and ran through the mission again. same thing, the souvenir has the long string again, though shorter than before. but upon re-editting, saving/republishing, it added more %%%%s, doubling in one go in the editor and the souvenir. you get the picture... suddenly my souvenir text gained some winter weight while i was just trying to edit, innocently. since AE souvenirs accumulate, globally, i wonder if there is a limit? 😄 just bumping this up again, since it is such a strange bug. 😎

i am assuming this is a typo/forgotten text and not a dev held hostage, but... (grant invisibility temp power) oh wait... every single one of these have the same text. what's going on here?

for future reference the HC wiki is very helpful. here's the page for patrol experience... 🙂

OMG i changed the title and put the code in the title and it is functioning as a non-breaking space! OOPS! 🤪

well that was easy to reproduce... i made the macro, did some edits, tested it, did some more, tested some more, it failed when it should have worked and when i looked at it, the hidden script was there in the text. but if i copy the text out of the macro editor, it does not appear when i paste it in a text editor, like here "powexeclocation target faux grant"... the only way to fix it is to paste the text back in. then the macro works as expected. (or fail since faux grant does not do anything... 😉 )

in a totally unrelated bug report i mentioned that i have occasionally had &nbsp being inserted in my macros while i am editting, after someone else mentioned it. @srmalloy mentioned that it was a HMTL code and it should not be appearing. well, i finally was fooling around with some macros again, trying things out and i got it again. it happens when i am editing directly in the editor, but i am not sure if it is because i am pasting in some text from a text document or if it is because i am doing multiple revsions of the same macro in the editor. i'll try some more, to recreate this when i have more time please ignore all the limitless radial freeeem because i was just messing around... 😄

finally i reproduced the error that i was talking about, and i remembered to take a picture... 😄 (please ignore all the other extraneous details since i was fooling around) i guess i should file a bug report, but not sure what to file it under...

i do not know if it is me, but i find it really hard to see the cursor in account password field. in fact it is practically invisible. in fact, i believe it does not show at all. so, often i find myself not being able to tell if the cursor is at the end of my account name field, barely visible abutting up against the last letter, or on the password field, totally invisible. i hate to say how many times i have replaced/embiggened my account name or started typing the password only to have nothing appear because the cursor is in neither field. so i would kindly demand that the cursor be made a more constrasting colour on the white field for name and password. a nice sky blue or aquamarine, please! 😄 thank you! 🙂 (see! i can do normal!) 😁

is it possible that you can provide a photo/text of the combat log showing how it is applied in PVP?

if it was a small team acting alone, i believe it should have been rewarded, that is if it did all of the work. but if it was participating but with not enough of a contribution, that was probably the problem.

were you on a team or league? because if not, as with most giant monsters it is enough to hit them to get some credit, but not the associated badges. if you were solo or a small team that did not provide above a certain percentage of total damage, you get some of the rewards but no badge.

i think that is the problem then, since looking around for Boss_grunt i could not find other examples of a similar case.

yeah, i know... normally if i am solo, i totally would. but i was in the middle of a TF, not wanting to get everyone together for a group shot i did the print screen in the heat of the moment, totally not realizing that the UI was not showing what i wanted... so terrible action photos resulted. no balance, no harmony of elements, no dynamism! 😁

i have a severe case of altitis... over two servers i have 850 alts. in total i have about 30+ level 50s. most of those seem to get put on the shelf at about vet level 14, which means that they have at least a couple of tier 4 incarnates. then they get set aside for something else shiny and fun. one of my last 50s was an arsenal/trick arrow controller, that i played almost exclusively with no 2xp, and it took about a month to get to 50. it is still very playable and is at a vet level in the 30s. my main tank, Marvelous Chin, is fun to play and roleplay, his vet level is in the 50s. my main, Ridiculous Girl naturally, sits at about 205 vet levels and 1530 badges. she mostly sits in her tree, crafting and BSing on general. but to get to level 50 these days, my alts needs; 1) a good name 2) with an appropriate power set combo/AT to go with that name 3) must have a good biography 4) be fun to play i must have 40-50+, level 30-40s that are missing one or two of those must haves, and sit in a sort of permanent limbo. i probably have several hundred, level 10-30s, that are missing two or three of those qualifications. the rest most like are name inspirations, where i tried to make something work or needed to create lest i forgot immediately. 😄 but i am all for the name un-namifying (i cannot think of the right term) because i am too lazy to free up names from 700 likely candidates. 😁

hmmm... that's possible that the pet was too far away, i did not consider that. according to CoD, soul extraction has a cast range of 60', and an AOE radius of 80'. so if i cast it on something that that is 60' away and a pet is too far behind, they would not get hit and no spirit would be produced? i will consider that is the most likely scenario, until otherwise shown. thank you! 🙂
