With zero recharge slotting in Mental Blast you get a 16% chance of the Decimation proc going off. A full set of Decimation gives 62.75 slotted recharge, and that would reduce the chance to a little under 11% Calculations provided by Macskull's handy-dandy spreadsheet - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FuQUJm87da0vOVbnL3xmUyEt2PlfP5CbSXHWYUyTj-A/edit#gid=1191014171

Because I saw a new post from Booper, but thought it was Bopper, went to read it, saw a different Avatar (booping dog vs AG Gary), thought Bopper had changed avatars, and then my eyes and brain finally synced to realize Booper is a totally different person, a dev person no less!

Where are you planning on putting the Decimation-BU proc?

Decimation has a PPM of one. That's a pretty bad proc rate. While I don't know if the Oil Slick fire patch could inherit the build up, I can tell you that you are better off with any 3.5 PPM damage proc.

Wait . . . we have a Bopper AND a Booper?

My guess is that, if they did it, it wouldn't work on level 50+ just like 2XP doesn't. And then it's of limited use.

Singy won't pull players in PvP. Toxic Webnade's -recharge won't stack in PvP. No change in PvE.

Since you consider me no one, I too will abandon further discussion on this topic. Be well.

I can't take the guilt anymore . . . I confess . . . It was @Jimmy!!!

Except I will never buy an enhancement, slot it, then unslot it to sell. I only slot stuff I intend to use to 50, with small exceptions if the build calls for purples. I generally do not flip. What I mostly do is buy cheap receipes, craft, convert, and sell. Assuming others do as you suggest it restricts supply because the IOs have to spend some arbitrary amount of time slotted before it can be sold.

Thanks for the quick response. You're my favorite form of communication device. Much better than TV and Radio (Radiooooo) and so much more personal and personable.

You're a kind and funny cowboy. Do you have a text parser or are you willing to run a few and check the combat spam to see who or what is killing the AVs? Knowing who or what is doing the killing would be key to solving the issue, IMO. Is it a certain player that keeps doing it? Pets? Blasters? Whatever. You have to know what the real problem is before you can fix it. There are a few long animating attacks that might be started just before the stop command that can't be cancelled once started. And many of those are hard hitting - like KO Blow and Bitter Freeze Ray. So perhaps telling folks to use quick attacks only after 10 or 5%?

NIPPLES!!!! Carry on.

Meh. I'm old too, married almost 30 years and have adult kids. I'm used to being disappointed . . . . Edit: Oh! And I don't need them to ask for permission, just a heads-up. I've seen several people do that on LFG on Excelsior, "Streaming kill most ITF, PST," for example. That's all I'm asking for.

Yay! Other than savings over time, what else can players expect from the Scale-3s? Faster load times; less lag; more responsive /AH? Or something else, maybe?

Positive Gamer is the only CoH streamer that I can think of. When I watched him, he was actually inviting people who were commenting on his stream that they wanted to join and were giving him their character or global name. I have no problem with that. If I had happened to be in the background when he was inviting I also would have no problem with that. At least for me, I'm not talking about a fly-by where I might be in someone's stream for a second. I am specifically talking about people creating a team, inviting me (or whoever) and not telling people on that team that they are streaming. If that doesn't bother you, that's OK. But it bothers me. Just like it would bother me if a friend invited me to a party at his house but was secretly broadcasting the event.

It may be totally legal for someone to Stream other players without their consent. Just like it's totally legal for someone to follow you around in public and take your picture. But "being legal" doesn't mean that I have to like it and it doesn't mean that it isn't rude. All I'm asking for is for players who are streaming to make that known so that I or anyone else can decide if I want to participate in that stream. From what I have seen, many already do that. If so few people are streaming, then maybe everyone who is streaming is giving the heads up. And if that's the case, then there's no problem. My only problem lies with someone streaming who doesn't let his teammates know that he is doing so.

How about my voice? My voice is their property?

I'm sorry, but you don't get to tell me what is or isn't a "big deal" to me. If it isn't a big deal to you, that's fine.

I disagree. I'm agreeing to Homecoming's terms of service. I don't recall seeing where any other player was authorized to stream my character, my text, or my voice. Of course, I may have missed it. Can you show me where it says that I agree to other player's streaming me?

I agree with Mrwrk. I don't want to be streamed. I appreciate those that do stream and say they are doing so ahead of time so that I can avoid it. But it just seems wrong to me that someone can broadcast me without my consent or even letting me know that it is happening.

I expect that prices of recipes and IOs would soar because your proposal restricts supply but leaves demand to grow.

New character! What powers would a Human Bean have?
