Sovera Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Is this still a thing? I used to see the Containment message pop up all the time but I don't think I've ever seen it for my Grav. Is this a thing that was rolled into Impact, or does Impact replace Containment? I keep thinking I'm getting Impact -and- Containment but I'm no longer sure. - Simple guide for newcomers. - Money making included among other things. - Tanker Fire Armor: the Turtle, the Allrounder, the Dragon, and compilation of Fire Armor builds. - Tanker Stone Armor: beginner friendly (near) immortal Tanker for leveling/end-game and Stone Armor framework. - Brute Rad/Stone and compilation of Brute Stone Armor builds.

Carnifax Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Was there a Containment message? Overpower is the only one I remember. Containment is silent, isn't it? Always has been? Or am I going mad?

Pretty sure I haven't seen them on Homecoming (can't remember back to Live). My Plant/Storm and Grav/TA would certainly be spamming me to death if they were a thing (they do with Overpowers) I spent a week a few months ago trying to find out if Controller Epics did Containment damage now, it would have been much easier if there were Containment messages (now I can just go to Ubers COD and check and yes they do) My level 50 builds [Bullitt Time : DP/Kin Corruptor] [Carnifax : Ill/Dark Controller] [Kerriae : Plant/Storm Controller] [Echinoderm : Bio/Spines Tank] [Iron Brew : Mace/Rad Brute] [Snookered : Staff/NRG Brute] [iScream : Ice/Ice Scrapper] [Binman : Savage/Shield Stalker] [Modul-8 : Time/Sonic Defender] [Concussion Blast : Fire/NRG Domi] [Orblivion : Dark/Martial Domi] [Mombie : Necro/Nature MM] [Tempore : Water/Time Blaster] [Thermodynamic Flux : Ice/Fire Blaster] [Carni's Online CombatLog Parser Alpha] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorSteele Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Yeah, Overpower has a pop-up message; Containment, I don't recall if that was ever a thing. But if an opponent is held (or immobed or slept or stunned), you're probably getting the bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the second Propel damage of 459.19 Smashing damage is from Containment, though it does not specify that. The Impact damage is there separately.

Tacheyon Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Containment doesn't have a special pop up. It's basically just you do double damage. And it does work with Controller Epics. Which is why Seismic Smash is a popular choice. Very high damage (for a Controller Power plus you get more Hold Mag) that you do double for when things are held. Although I am pretty sure it doesn't work for pets and pseudo-pets like Ice Storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my knowledge, Containment has never had a float text associated with it - only the extra mag effect of Overpower did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VV Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Oh yeah, I don't know about the popup screen notification. Live is too far ago to remember. I just wanted to confirm to the OP that Grav did indeed get the damage bonus. 6 hours ago, Tacheyon said: Which is why Seismic Smash is a popular choice.

oedipus_tex Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Containment doesn't have a DisplayFloat, so it shouldn't appear in text when it triggers. Interestingly DisplayFloat is coded AttribMod per AttribMod, and is not a global system tied to Containment. You could technically make any power effect pop up whatever message you want. That's how Gravity's Impact pop up works. So it wouldn't surprise me if there's one power out there does have some kind of message by mistake. I believe occasionally the text has been left off certain powers and had to be added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side you just debugged the fact I'm not Parsing Impact damage in my combat parser because my damage regex isn't expecting [IMPACT!] at the end, which I'll correct. 1 1 My level 50 builds [Bullitt Time : DP/Kin Corruptor] [Carnifax : Ill/Dark Controller] [Kerriae : Plant/Storm Controller] [Echinoderm : Bio/Spines Tank] [Iron Brew : Mace/Rad Brute] [Snookered : Staff/NRG Brute] [iScream : Ice/Ice Scrapper] [Binman : Savage/Shield Stalker] [Modul-8 : Time/Sonic Defender] [Concussion Blast : Fire/NRG Domi] [Orblivion : Dark/Martial Domi] [Mombie : Necro/Nature MM] [Tempore : Water/Time Blaster] [Thermodynamic Flux : Ice/Fire Blaster] [Carni's Online CombatLog Parser Alpha] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently it hasn't been there for a while, which makes sense - too much clutter! Either that or we have a shared delusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
