Better safe than sorry. You should probably be using a strong gibberish password anyways, but I know how it gets sometimes as you get beatdown coming up with passwords.
Providing a link for folks who want to know what "strong password" actually means.
The site also actually generates strong passwords if you don't have any idea how to do something random. The site suggests at least using 7 characters, I prefer 8 characters, as that's a very reasonable amount of encryption. Some characters don't work with SQL, Oracle, or other DBs, so depending on how they store passwords/wrote their code (i.e. if they're retards), you may have to lay off of quotes, ampersands, brackets, percent signs.
Note, strong passwords DO NOT INCLUDE THE NAME OF YOUR PET, FAVORITE BAND, OR HARRY POTTER CHARACTER.
But what about Cloud or Sephiroth? Surely no one uses them!

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. ~ Terry Pratchett
So if you run lairs at their normal level (instead of sidekicking up) do you actually get decent loot? The ones I've run were fun, but I've been really underwhelmed with the rewards, and I'm hoping it's just because I was sidekicked.
absolutely no fix to Taser Arrow being able to chain-hold people.
Soon, soon...
Did you ever look into blocks and travel powers Akinos?
I knew about the teleport and tazer hold things awhile ago since Akinos told me ingame he was fixing them. Granted I don't pvp anymore due to that glitch or whatever Magitek showed me but still nice to see they are fixing some stuff.
Fixing block+travel powers right now, actually >.>
What is this glitch then?
p.s. All holds/roots/etc have diminishing returns, though we are still evaluating if the resistance buff you get lasts long enough/is strong enough.
edit: Except Taser Arrow. Taser Arrow was just broken.
The loot is underwhelming to be honest, especially since there is only one loot dropping boss and he only drops one item. All in all from a returns perspective there isn't much point in going back to a lair once you have completed the quests/perks there is there.

Some holds don't seem to hold either. Like, it will say I'm held, and I'll have the "break hold" progress bar but then I can still move around and attack and stuff.
I'm not sure about PvP, but in PvE there seems to be 2 different bars for holds.
The first bar you get is not indicating you are held... instead, what it says is "Hold Incoming", which I guess is the mob using a maintain power that will eventually result in a hold. The ice demons in Canada are a good example of this; they cast a huge block of ice around you, but if you're quick enough to see the hold incoming, you can run away before the block forms and you don't get held. If you sit there and mash 'z' trying to break the hold, you will get held, and then shattered.
Not sure if that's what it's supposed to do, but I've ran many alts through there so have figured this out with experience. :P

The other glitch has already been fixed. It involved using a macro program (or manual, though harder) to alternate-spam block and a tap power. As long as the power didn't have a significant start-up time, you could essentally cause the power to fire off 5+ times a second. Oh, and for some reason, you would gain massive amounts of energy while doing this, so you could keep firing indefinitely. Some level 35-ish guy I know was able to solo Kigaltigktiafkdhe or whatever his name is in Canada with it.
You need to spam him in game when ever he gets online. I don't think enough people are hounding him about theory craft and requests. :winky:

I don't want anything at the moment, it is just a fun word to say. Man, if you want people to not bother you then you have to come up with a name that is a pain in the ass to spell.

For people worried about losing dueling in the powerhouse:
So we're investigating a bunch of different things, we know duels in the entrance of the Powerhouse are annoying, and we know people want better PVE and PVP testing of their powers before committing to them. We've got some cool ideas, we're scoping out the art and tech side of things to make sure we can deliver them. I can't go into detail yet, but Chronomancer will talk about it when we know we can actually do it.
I just wanted tp make sure you guys to know that we know about the issue and we want to make the Powerhouse work better for both PVP and PVE testing purposes and we're actively addressing it internally.

While I've never been annoyed by duels at the Powerhouse entrance, I do think that the giant room with the gear-shaped rings behind the trainers would be an ideal PvP testing/dueling area, especially since currently nobody ever uses it for anything ever.
I'm thinking a room with a tiny circle in the center being the only place allowed to start a duel match would work. That way the duel bubble is completely visible on all sides.
Or a giant room with several of these areas, each on a giant gear so the duel bubble is just smaller than the edge of the gear, and the only place to start a duel again is in the center of the gear so the rocket lands there.

The only thing Ive ever used them for is testing out travel powers.
and if i release block while that bar is still there, i get held
but the bar sometimes doesn't empty on its own, either
this is more common in PVP but some enemy attacks do it too
I think Akinos said once that Holds are suppose to be an anti-block counter for PvP, but that blocking in PvE is suppose to resist NPC holds, and if it still happens, it is a bug... I think...
Also, someone was complaining earlier about pitiful healing... sounds like you were using Psionic Healing, which, while it is an energy builder as a tap and has the longest range for a heal, is one of the worst heal powers when it comes to time/energy effenciency when charged. Acane Invocation: Vitality and Empathic Healing are better heals for pure healing power.
Psionic healing is giving me a hard on for making a healing character.
Any ideas on how to solo with it tho? I'm considering either int/pre or end/pre. End is that I just do as many little heals for energy and have a big full bar for major heals when needed. End/pre i'd probably go fire, and int/pre i might as well try out pets since iirc thosse are the two pet stats.
I basically want one, at most two offensive skills for when i need to solo.
Pick up Telepathy's energy builder, get the -resist ego damage advantage and I will personally run you through everything you need with my tk blades character. <333
edit - But seriously, that advantage + ego blast is pretty good for damage. You wont be able to die if you're quick on untargetting things and healing yourself, and you can eventually kill almost anything.

so what is the counter to those personal force fields that just simply absorb ridiculous amounts of damage?
Those are the easiest, just burn down the shield and it's pretty much gone until they field surge. Ignore that you're doing 0 and remember that you're really in actuality kicking their ass.

Well somebody had it and was 1 level higher than me. I threw everything at him and his shield dropped and i did about 10% of his health in damage by the time he had killed me.

This fix will make it so that block will slow you down while flying and swinging, the same way it slows you down when you're walking on the ground, currently.

Dude, your password is totally k@R3N1n@
You're totally hacked.
I think there's a controls option called "Autoassist on attack" or something that might prevent this behavior.
