Switching tactics is an exploit

Yes, and as 9mmfu said earlier; "... because of the speed with which the server runs through your combat a player would almost never click in the small window of opportunity between the end of one round and the beginning of the next..."

Switching tactics is an exploit

The thing is, 'not tactic switching' is not supported by the combat system. Edit: Unless of course you spend the entire combat phase using only one tactic.

Blocked Pathway, Hampton Green by the Hell Club Elevator

S'right. To make any fixes to the world - including the 'invisible walls' and floating objects - you need to rebundle the entire district and then everyone has to download those files before they can play.

Hyper Jumping > Backpeddling?

Grace; The term 'backpedaling' in this thread refers to running away from an opponent, not the practice of reversing a hyperjump.

Recycling Stuff in Loading Area

SOE generally wont give anything back because they have no way to prove you had it to begin with. This tends to apply no matter how much proof a player supplies.

Switching tactics is an exploit

The exploit is when you switch tactics during a single round in order to gain the benefits of both. For example, let's say you get your dazed and hit the FAR button while still on Speed. You get the benefit of Speed's 15% Accuracy for your...

Should players be forum mods?

Hm, I didn't mean to suggest that acceptance by the players should be the only qualification. Respectability, constructiveness, fairness, all the other qualities of a good Moderator come first.

I think it would be quite different if the Moderators were openly known to the community, perhaps even elected. For instance, imagine if someone who wanted to become a moderator had to post a thread asking for wether or not people would be...

Switching tactics is an exploit

It should be possible to fix this by making your active ability selection only update at the beginning of a round. So you are free to hit tactics buttons as often as you like during a round but once a new round starts the only tactic that...

5 point mission

It may be useful to spawn more missions in those buildings and see if the NPCs leave. If that area seems to have a higher than normal chance of it happening you could send the repro case to 9mmfu or someone and hope it helps.

That's right, it was always supposed to help you recover from states more quickly. At least so far as I know.

You should only ever be doing 1 damage if you are fighting in Hacker Style or if you hit Block after the attack goes through. It's the same for NPCs.
