Redlynne Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 @Powerhouse ... would it be possible to make Assassin Strike an auto-hit power while a Stalker is in Hidden status ... but require a Hit Check when not in Hidden status? 6 Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.

Galaxy Brain Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I'm down. Nothing is more frustrating than whiffing a hidden AS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiramon Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Seems silly for their "shtick" to wiff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor Cure Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 No. Everyone should be able to miss, just cause. Should using Aim and BU suddenly become autohit too? Cause that is just as annoying when missing. Or a ST Control? That is their 'shtick' too. Missing with AS, from hide, is the single missed attack in the game that will NOT cause aggro. That is pretty good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but it should still be able to miss in pvp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanden Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Make it autohit? I don't think that should happen. Make it have a 100% hit chance cap? Definitely!

Haijinx Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Stalkers probably don't need a buff right now .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with keeping the chance to hit miss from Hidden in PvP while making Assassin Strike autohit from Hidden in PvE. 1 Verbogeny is one of many pleasurettes afforded a creatific thinkerizer.

Bunmaster Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Would really love that, but there are stuff that are in much worse state than Stalkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megajoule Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Thread needs a better subject line, IMO. OP has a question, great; what is it? What is the thread about? Edited October 10, 2019 by Megajoule 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megajoule Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Gonna take my own advice and cut to the chase: IMO, you should put what your question is about right in the subject line. Don't make your audience, including the person who might actually be able to answer it, dig through your post to find out what you're asking. e.g.: "Can Assassin Strike be made auto-hit from Hidden?" Or, since your question seems to be addressed to a specific dev, just send it as a PM. EDIT: "I have a question." [expectant silence] "... what's your question?" "Whether my idea is possible." "... what's your idea?" "(finally explains proposal)" Edited October 10, 2019 by Megajoule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clave Dark 5 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Yeah, it's always struck as a bit silly that you can't see me, I'm standing right behind you, taking three full seconds to aim my weapon or fist at your back aaaaand.... wiff! But overall it probably is too much to ask. I mean, then Snipes shoudl auto-hit too if the target's not in combat - you know, like real life snipes do pretty much, you don't know you've been hit from nowhere until you're already dead. ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Don't bother with those farming chores...

MetaVileTerror Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I mean, even if the To-Hit Roll Caps are hard-coded in such a way as to prevent the attacks from just being Autohit . . . would there be a way to force the To-Hit Roll value to subtract 5.01 before comparing it to the To-Hit Check in this instance? Therefore, if you have 95% To-Hit, the highest random value you could roll would be 94.99 and guarantee the Hit. And, if you were aiming at an enemy who you would NOT have 95% To-Hit, there IS still a chance of you whiffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was extremely annoying that time I was doing a Malta mission on my fire/fire blaster, and my Aimed/Built-Up opening snipe missed on six consecutive Hercules-Class Titans (or whatever the big Malta mechs are called).

Just because they can't see you doesn't mean it's completely impossible that they decided just as that moment to start walking to the coffee maker. Or maybe they DO know you're there and are just trolling you by pretending to not notice you and just by chance move out of your way at the last second. 1 Roster: MTeague's characters: The Good, The Bad, and The Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The criticism wasn't about what kind of question it is, it was about the ambiguity of the subject. Perhaps if you put more examples like "or give a ToHit check to a targeted toggle if [insert condition]". Considering the turn your thread has taken, people are now not discussing "Is it possible?" but other aspects of your inquiry which are fully in the realm of rationality of the suggestion. So, is that what you wanted? You should have probably clarified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biostem Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Actually, it makes less sense for something like a fireball or a location-based AoE to miss, than for a single-target attack to, (even if the other party doesn't know you're there).
