That would be cool.  Not because I care about lanterns (I don't know much about 'em beyond what I played of DCUO), but because that's the sort of effects I can justify with a Technology origin, and I always really like hypertech stuff in my vidja gaems.

I suggest you watch the movie. you know the actor for deadpool? he plays the main character. As far as I know that make Ryan Reynolds the only actor to bridge the Marvel & DC universe gap and personify a main character in each. this is an interesting concept because usually once you act for one studio or one corporate body, they tend to put restrictions on you acting in parts for their competition. So the fact Marvel/Disney could pick up a DC actor really is quite the anomaly. Someone in DC's legal team must have forgotten to dot the i's or cross the t's.

in other related situations, to properly come up with an energy control set, one must watch the green lantern movie with ryan reynolds. the comics may help as well. but the movie can give some general ideas. so that's what I'll do today, rewatch the movie and log some of the control type attacks used(naturally we'll need to use them as nothing more than a generalized inspiration for creating CoH specific energy control whilst thinking about polygons.

Also theres 3 Cartoon movies. I'll give them a watch first as I've already seen the live action one before.

UFO Ultramaiden Valkyrie

This series had long been suggested to me by a friend in highschool back in 2004. I finally watched all 32 episodes of it a few years back and though I felt it heartwarming and a good story, I was kinda (:/) at they way they ended it (though I wont spoil the contet nor ending, this is just my opinion). I thought "Surely there must be more to finish the story", so I went looking for the manga hoping to see the story continue to it's end.

that... did not go as planned.

What I found is there's only 4 issues of the manga in existence. The manga doesn't even cover the majority of the story in the anime. And the manga doesn't really provide any insight into how the author desired this story to end. (which is probably why the anime never got that far, they didn't want to overstep their authority so as to give the author a chance to decide on an ending on his own).

Most of the story in the anime is well composed, perhaps better than in the super short manga.

But the questions I have are
"Why did the author stop writing the manga after 4 issues?"
"Who's bright idea was it to make 32 episodes of anime content out of a 4 issue manga?"

Other than that it's a highly suggested anime, it does have some adult content(so it's not for kids), but it's no more so than a similarity to nudity in dragonball (casual nudity in anime was actually normal in japan back then. even japanese children's shows would use nudity in casual or comedic ways), this anime was designed for teenagers in japan, given it only has top nudity and minor adult themes; mostly alcohol, that would qualify it for PG-13 or T for teen ratings in the USA.

The English dub was at one point on cable TV in the US.

If you've never seen this story, it's a kinda heart string puller and perhaps a little depressing at times in my opinion, though I think the story is potentially a great story.

a few notes; due to the plot of this series it may not be legally safe to view in the EU, UK, Canada, nor Australia. If you live in these regions, do not watch it online without a really good script blocker that blocks analytics and trackers, and perhaps a vpn.

sadly alot of japanese anime series are illegal materials in the UK, canada, australia and the EU, and could send you to jail for ordering, watching, sharing, or viewing them.

with that said, I'm not linking where to watch it.

If you do want to watch it, I suggest starting with episode 2 and 3 then episode 1,4 and on. they misordered episode 1 as a kinda "Pilot episode" releasing it first to give a general synopsis of the story without explaining events that led upto it clearly, where as Episode 2 shows the real beginning of the story, and episode 3 is a direct continuation. Episode 1 chronologically fits in after that.

I reckon if we do energy control, it might be more in the vein of hardlight powers a la green lantern

I strongly agree!

perhaps I should reenvision the set based off that.

If anyone has any input on powers of that sort they'd like to see, have them posted here. then at some point we can run a few polls to have the playerbase give their 2 cents on what should be included at each power tier, where the devs use this to inform their final decision.

I'm now thinking based on lanterns, the intellect of the lantern determines the complexity of the things they can create. So perhaps that should be the "special" attribute to all energy control powers a kinda "level modifier"
energy shackles,
lv 1: Targeted AoE (1 target) energy rings to bind the enemies' feet together to stop them from moving. (immobilize)
lv 10: Targetted AoE (3 targets) energy rings bind the enemies' feet stopping movement (immobilize)
lv 20: Targetted AoE (9 targets) energy rings bind the enemies' feet and hands, stopping movement and limiting attacks (hold)
lv 30: Targetted AoE (20 targets) energy rings wrap around the targets in bands from head to toe, restricting all movement and attacks (stronger hold).

not sure this is a good idea but it's an example.

https://betanews.com/2025/03/10/firefox-addons-breaking-update-now/

so, I had to learn to hack my browser to reenable addons, all was well but advanced cookie manager was causing firefox 51 to drop all my other addons. I eventually hacked them all back in successfully, but then.. some sort of timer expired and disabled my addons. in the end I toasted aushelper (as it's the primary addon shipped with ff and built in and needs to be hacked to disable it) so now there shouldn't be any update checking functionality. I also removed all the update urls in about:config.

at first doing that broke all my addons, I had to remove them individually add them in temp, then hack them in permanently and changed the extension update interval to as high a number as it will go then disabled all updating in about config as well. even so I expect it to break again, just maybe half a year later instead of daily or every 2 days.

I'm hessitant to try to hack advanced cookie manager in again, I do have ccleaner as a backup, but that only allows cookie deletion while the browser is closed, where advanced cookie manager allowed full cookie manipulation while the browser is active. As it took some major messing about with hacking and backup files to get the main functional addons (a good adblocker with an options page that actually works and is visible, noscript, and downthemall download manager) in place again, I'd rather not attempt to hack in an addon that requires a browser restart right now and risk it bumping all my addons.

at this point I'm almost tempted to go find the sourcecode for ff51 and modify out all it's addon restrictions and just put in a confirmation window and password to install addons as a security measure..

I'm strongly considering palemoon atm as that will be easier as I wont need to do anything other than install a browser. I'm only a hero if I have to be, redoing sourcecode? I'd rather not, I have enough projects this addon disabling issue is already effecting (I'm spending time hacking my browser and fighting mozilla's new attack on legacy addons instead of working on projects). Worst part is the disabling seems to happen every few days in the evening time. I honestly hope adjusting the timer helped.

software built like this is the epitome of poorly designed. everything relies on connections to some server and opinions of the devs rather than user preference.

oh well, if anyone has any info to help this addon protection process let me know.

[After]

well, things have been getting strange again to say the least.

last night as I laid down to go to bed something strange took place. Normally you may be aware from reading here that I've had instances where my mind gets into a state inbetween dream and reality After I wake up for a short time; but yesterday it was Before I actually got to sleep.

this time it happened twice in succession every time I tried to get to sleep.

The first time I actually wasn't trying to go to sleep, I had my eyes closed and I was thinking about stuff and I must have begun to drift off. Immediately as soon as I entered that state I heard the sound of something rubbing on fabric not two feet to my right. this shocked me as I was alone and not moving and still semi-conscious. I had been in the inbetween dream and reality state, and when I got disturbed by the loud sound right next to me, I enetered the fully awake state of mind and the sound stopped immediately as if cutoff abruptly. I do have cloth things in that region something could have rubbed up against, but they are window covering sunshades and there's nothing up at that level to rub against them and the fact the sound stopped abruptly (like before finishing) when I entered an awake state I figure it was not a real-life audible sound.

being a sound situation I am aware that in such a state hearing is heightenned. but still there was nothing to rub against any cloth to cause the sound.


The Second Instance: I calmed myself back down when i called out and no one answered and all was silent. satisfied nothing was trying to make first contact so to speak, I went back into my thoughts and eventually I closed my eyes again over the course of like less than a minute. Then I must have begun to fall asleep again. In a state inbetween dream and reality I was aware I was laying on my bed, and I raised my right hand out to the side to stretch as if yawning. but my hand hit the corner of the object (a metal filing cabinet I use as a computer stand to work from bed) but instead of a sharp feeling of a corner cutting me, it was an electrical shock to the back of my hand where the corner hit. I immediately woke up, and my hand was not out to the side at all, it was safely tucked under thick warm blankets and sheets and had not been moved. there was not physical damage to the back of my hand, and the shock feeling was gone.


there was a third event on the same night. It was a strange one indeed. after I tried to get back to sleep and entered the in-between dream and reality state, I was greeted by a young dark-skinned teenager in a suit, he was sat down on something I couldn't see above my head level everything was black like the darkness of space around us, except where he was, it was slightly illuminated like a dull grey faint glow behind him. he said "just so you know, I brought you here by my power, not yours." and I was in a snarky mood, so I said "oh, are you sure?" and tried to see if this situation in question was at all connected to my mind by increasing my brain activity by willing to try to take control of the instance. in doing so I found I felt weak like though I tried hard my mental activity could not control the whole instance outside a small area around me, like a few inches. he just stared at me his expression had not changed the entire time, he looked like he was talking to a lesser being and didn't really care as if this was a task from someone else, yet there was a tiny bit of respect in his gaze.

needless to say upping by brain activity woke me up after a few moments so I was not capable of completing the conversation or asking any more.

for the past few nights before this I.. had a hard time remembering my dreams at all, it was like my brain was full and the memories wouldn't stick, or like I left the memories behind in the dream state. I prayed for help to remember them, as I could vaguely remember some situations but not the words which were spoken. and in those dreams (with an unknown figure with a skirt and long hair and a strong light behind them) the words were important. and within seconds I was back asleep and had the same convo in the same place as in the previous dream and the repeated the same words, but as soon as I woke up I could not remember them though I tried to keep them front and center in my mind and that remembering of the words took such mental strain that I woke up in the process.

I can remember the basic idea of the convo "if you want to meet with me whether in dream or reality, just [can't remember, but it's an easy and simple task for me that comes naturally], [can't remember, but it's an easy and simple task for me that comes naturally], and [can't remember, but it's an easy and simple task for me that comes naturally]." in the dream both times I recollected "that's easy".

3 things. but I can't remember them at all. I tried for hours to try to retrace my dream to try to see if I could force a recollection of what was spoken, no go.

oh well, I have been praying to God for specifics lately, some about what I aught to be focusing on about the near future.

I had an eerie dream a few weeks ago where there was this girl who said "with your rate of working, I'm worried you don't have enough time to pass-on anything." and previous dreams were about me teaching things, or making things like games.

Also irl my heart isn't doing too well these past few days. it's beating alright and such but I feel like it's filled with some sort of chemical the kind like when you feel anxious or stressed. 2 days ago it was the worst after I did some physical work outside raking up stuff), bagging the stuff, and lifting and carting the bags around. they were heavy. I took a day off after that, because that night.. I could not get to sleep easily. it was rough. my heart did not feel good at all.

According to that other dream from a few months back I'm supposed to have 264 lives... but.. does that include healing when I come back like in city of heroes? or do I come back with the same worn out organs?..

that one time I actually died in reality from a lung infection in 2016.. God passed judgement and let me come back, albeit with damage to a few things; lungs, heart, brain, tendons, muscles, and probably a few other things, I honestly thought I was getting better, haven't had any low blood oxygen incidents for like a year. But I still apparently get winded easily during physical labor, and apparently my heart, (though I thought it was much stronger than before because I can sleep with my left arm at any angle and it doesn't fall asleep, and my heart seems to beat semi-normally) still has issues, mostly chemical issues it would seem. so.. physical labor in certain levels is a no. I'm only 39 and I already have the physical capabilities of a 90 year old. oh well, not much I can do I'm not worried about it. I just gotta get my butt to work on computer stuff, after all, that doesn't require any special blood oxygen or blood pressure.

the look on the doctor's face who took my blood oxygen readings a few years back - priceless.

"can I try it on your thumb? it's saying 0 oxygen on your index finger, I think it's broken"
"nope it's still 0 on your thumb, can you try breathing?"

me "oh, right, sorry my subconscious went on holiday and I forgot to breathe manually" *breathes*
"... well that's mildly better.. you really shouldn't be up and walking around with blood oxygen levels like this, do you ever faint suddenly while doing things?"

"nope, sometimes my vision goes black but that's about it"

*doctor stares at me* "lets try not to have you put yourself in such situations then".

sorry, but that makes me chuckle.. idk what it is about 0 blood oxygen and still being conscious that makes me laugh when people get freaked out by it. sometimes I joke that I'm technically "undead" though not like a zombie or anything as I am quite alive actually, I just died once that's all. ok now my brain is making comedic materials, I just imagined a zombie passing by, stopping, and saying "hey.." as if he recognizes me as a fellow lol.

ok enough morbid jokes and talk. I'm not goth, and I try not to be emo. maybe my health is why I have these strange situations. I don't worry any more because at least from my experience I know God is there and who he is, even if he was quite wroth.. so either way I have someplace to go. now I just have to focus on actually doing something with whatever years I've got left, even if it were 60 years, I still need to accomplish more than watching anime and gardening don't I?

Bids at the rates listed are posted on the L 28 recipies in WW. keep em coming.

Less spyware... what happens is Mozilla uses and is funded by Google Ads. Google in turn does actively go against them, as noted they deliberately fucked up Youtube for firefox (this was found a while back, a specific browser check)... it's possibly to encourage people to move to chrome, almost certainly because of manifest2 and advanced adblockers like ublock origin which bypass ads and aren't detectable by most means.

As for the IP... it's google cloud. That's like saying a company is allied with Jeff Bezos because they use AWS.

a fair argument, but one must remember google had planned to create an internet hosting and ISP service called "googlefiber", they decided against it because it'd add argument to injury for any government to come after them with monopoly charges for owning too many varied aspects of the internet. So google fiber was torched and dropped. Google does not officially offer hosting nor ISP services, and legally they cannot (without an antitrust lawsuit for monopolization and proprietization of the internet, they are toing that line really hard but they wont dare cross it, some argue they've already crossed it by proprietizing the way the internet is written and gatekeeping things like googlejavascript to demand other browser developers include spyware to be able to even program their browser to see things like webp images in example).

but the fact is, you cannot host a website on google's servers as they are not allowed to branch into that business.

so mozilla.com being hosted on google's servers? it makes them a subsidiary at the least. now a subsidiary can bypass corporate directive for specifics that are allowed under their contract, so this is where things like manifest versions are not mandated in the subsidiary contract, so mozilla teams can make that call to not include manifestV3, but google can just "advise" their agents who have infiltrated various website teams to write in a block at website level blocking noncompliant browsers just by not being able to know the difference between "devicewidth" and "________webkitdevicewidth" causing display of objects or location formatting to fail. and every time mozilla programs a workaround to understand it with the underscores and naming convention google will change it adding another _ to the front and changing the wording and advising their spies in various websites to apply such unnecessary changes immediately to the websites they maintain.

it's a vicious cycle, and while mozilla has some autonomy, they are a subsidiary of google, and all it'll take is a new contract which mandates they follow all google advice and bam, firefox will be no different than chrome.

also we have no way of knowing how many google agents secretly actually work at mozilla and at what levels. it really has gotten that bad. but the fact they host themselves on googles servers puts them under google's ToS for subsidiaries.

essentially mozilla made a bad partnership, and now they are being eaten alive by a silent invisible hostile takeover. it's only a matter of time till google eats their hands and they can no longer modify google web browser code to deviate from google demands. seeing that? I just don't play their games, I understand it's just a slow and painful death left for mozilla, and theres no hope of them freeing themselves from google any more. So I just use an outdated browser, and what sites don't work in it, I ignore. if more people did the same, websites would be forcced to accommodate older browsers and all this proprietization by google would have to be undone or they'd lose their market share. but sadly most people don't care. some even defend the spying. "they need to know my bank login details to keep them secure"

security is the next target for google, they are planning and have already begun taking over all the data excryption key and certificate providers. they have already voiced that they plan to eventually not supply these certificates to non-compliant browsers and foricng the new certificates for all https websites and removing non-https variants resulting in a "SSL no Cypher overlap error" for browsers which do not conform.

This is a real error you can encounter, it looks like a page where the certificate has expired or is for a different domain name, normally you can "add an exception" but in this case no option is given because the site merely doesn't share any SSL encryption cyphers with you, and if you don't share at least ONE cypher then you and the website in question cannot exchange any SSL encrypted information, resulting in permanent failure to load the site if it's SSL ONLY. it's true it'd be as simple as asking them to use some older cypher certificates, but likely they'll tell you "those are no longer secure, google said so, so no, we wont." or "we lost those in the last update and are unable to restore them as they cannot be loaded into the newly updated SSL certificate store as they are in an incompatible format, the new certificate store only accepts .cypher15(madeup as an example of how they plan to implement this block) formats."

google is evil.. and any company associated with them is forced to toe the line. a corrupt bloated corporation that has lost all morals and ethics towards people. we are just data to sell.

well they don't get my data. I live under a very secure rock against their advances.

here, want more information from another more intelligent person than me who has looked into this at a sourcecode level and also sees that mozilla is a slave to google if not part of the same company just from sourcecode?: https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/browsers

[I need them all at Lvl 28]

the catch: I need them all at Lvl 28

Why would you want them @ Level 28 ... instead of Level 27?

At Level 28, the set bonuses are "operative" down to Level 25 (-3 below the enhancement level) ... but in terms of flashback story arc content, the brackets are:

• 1-15
• 16-19
• 20-24
• 25-29
• 30-34
• 35-39
• 40-45
• 46-50

I suppose that if your only concern is about TF/SF exemplar limits, those tend to be "multiples of 5" Levels (15, 20, 25, 30, etc.), at which point Level 28 for enhancements to slot makes some sense ... but personally I would prefer (and use) Level 27 for enhancements (whenever practical) rather than Level 28. Being able to do flashback content and retain set bonuses @ Exemplar Level 24 tends to be beneficial in the long run (I'm thinking).

There are some sets I try to obtain as Level 22 (so the set bonus is "operative" in the Exemplar Level 16-19 flashback bracket), while others I try to obtain as Level 31 (so the set bonus is "operative" in the Moonfire Task Force at Exemplar Level 28).

the lowest level PVP zone is Bloody Bay and maxes out at Lv25

according to mids this specific build does not actually lose 0.1% def nor res unless I set the enhancement levels to Lv 27 and under. As I had to fight hard to get each 0.1% def when building with max level sets, I didn't want to lose anything when I downleveled to the lowest lv pvp zone+3.

one main challenge I've had is in my main PVE build I lose too many bonuses when I enter lower level pvp zones, that build is great for pve, and honestly it was a pvp winner on live, but now with all the new one-off tricks that people use in pvp I needed to get more clever as the pvp field has drastically started to tilt away from tanks being easily strong to ranged being a bit too strong. (one issue is the amount of def ranged users have available now, the original devs always refused to make a ranged +armor AT on live for that reason, and put in limits like the def from afterburner is lost in battle. and most sets which add Def bonuses are slotted mainly on armor. that has changed now. on live I'd struggle to get like 30% def to minimal things in pvp on a ranged at, but now it's kinda easy to get mid 30s and 40 and more generally accross the board too.)

Most tanks cannot use afterburner, most have some sort of reliance on touching the ground for powers (which I've long thought was silly, it's like the paragon devs hated the idea of flying tanks, I guess they hate superman, shazam, black adam and a whole bunch of flying powerhouses).

but yeah lv28 sets wont lose any major end result compared to 50 sets in this specific build. but Lv 27 and lower does start to lose potential in the end result department. "it's almost like the cryptic devs planned it that way"

in example on one power with sets at 50, I have about 51% enhancement of defense, but with level 28 sets it drops to like 48.9% enhancement. which oddly enough doesn't actually equal a difference of 0.1% def or more in PVP because of substantially nerfed def returns in pvp(because people complained they couldn't hit tanks enough to actually keep damage on them, same reason they nerfed regen "I can't hit the tank with my cranked out sniper attack! or if I do he regens it before my cranked out -regen beam recharges nerf them all!").

but if you slot a lv 27 or lower and it drops to like 44% and that does cause an 0.1% def loss.

so yeah lv28

I'll cross off and red what I get.

So, RTTC as I have been told has a weak taunt ability. It allows taunt enhancements, and mids seems to think it allows taunt sets too (but the game does not allow taunt sets to be used on Rise to the Challenge.

I was going to drop a [perfect zinger: chance for psi damage.50] on it to make it deal some minor damage to enhance the Threat it makes enemies think I am. Mids says it'd add 2.2 psionic damage, so, not much but enough to be annoying to mobs to make them consider me a greater threat and stay agroed better.

However, when taunt sets are not allowed it kinda disables this approach.

so I would like to kindly ask if perhaps Taunt Sets could be enabled for RTTC?

Sounds like the firefox issue is a version thing, I'm running 134.

And I know google dislikes and isn't in cahoots with firefox, or Youtube wouldn't deliberately slow down and break FF loads, and FF wouldn't allow manifest2 stuff (specifically and pretty much only ublock origin in google's hate-list)

"we at google do not like mozilla, we disagree with them on X and Y"
"we at mozilla do not like google, we disagree with them on X and Y, but we incorporate google spyware in our browser"

they want you to think theres some rivalry, but when one is hosted on the other and they partner in spyware... something tells me any adverse things one says and does to the other are just for show so they can use them to avoid monopoly hearings.

just to clarify due to irl events; a rocket ship is not a passenger jet, nor a military helicopter. so the fact there was a real-life incident later that day with eerie similarities is not necessarily a confirmation of my dream.

though eye witnesses of the irl plane crash I'm mentioning reported word for word "a spray of sparks".. that's what makes this eerie to me.

"Eyewitness Ari Schulman was driving home when he looked up and saw the plane falling from the sky. 'It was illuminated bright yellow underneath and there was a spray of sparks underneath - I knew something was wrong,' he said."

"then there was a large spray of sparks from where the rocket would be. people made comments that it didn't look good."

again, I'm conflicted as to whether this is coincidence or predictive. I saw a rocket, not a plane. in the dream I could not see what caused the spray of sparks clearly. It was a small object that zipped through the rocket(however at such a distance a small object could have been larger that interpreted). at the time I thought it was a silver disc-shaped thing but I was far away so I could not be sure (hence I did not write it in yesterday's dream log). I couldn't really even see the rocket clearly at that point.

so I'll stick with my story, I saw a rocket not a plane, and a silver disc zip through it and a spray of sparks, not a military helicopter.

just in case people start believing this or something, I'm hessitant to believe and I'm the one having the dreams lol.

I had a really vivid one last night. it was fairly long, but not 3 days worth. more like 2 days worth.

I had been rushed to pack things for a trip on a cruise, I ended up having to leave some important things behind, but when we got to the port we were too late anyways, hence the rush. We ended up traveling by land to attempt to catch the boat at it's next port of call. I know there was a long string of events in-between, but the events were essentially just traveling so unremarkable except for the scenery which was quite nice. we got to the next port and they complained about our tickets saying we weren't on the roster as having boarded at our original port so they'd have to ask if an exception could be made, normally they don't allow it.

essentially we didn't get on the boat. I was blamed for it constantly. we ended up being allowed to stay in someone's house. I sneezed and had a runny nose after sleeping there. they said to stay in my room as they didn't want to catch it. after I dried my nose and disposed on the tissue, I went down stairs and sat on the couch and talked to someone who was there, he asked if I was ok, then I got dizzy, and when I couldn't hold on to consciousness any more I fell down on the couch and told him I felt delirious, I passed out and woke up in reality, albeit very tired as it was still early, but still able to talk to him for a short time after waking up in irl.

I eventually fell back to sleep irl, and I woke up in the other place, and they had me in a car and were apparently taking me to someplace, likely to a doctor.


we went through a vastly built up but short city., the buildings were not tall, but there were alot of them, we were going through an industrial area but there was fencing and a large open feild outside a factory, and from it they launched a rocket, I watched out the car window as the rocket went up and eventually got out of sight. then there was a large spray of sparks from where the rocket would be. people made comments that it didn't look good. then the top of the rocket came speeding back down, then changed course to make a sliding landing through the street at a 90 degree angle that we had just passed. the driver joked in bad taste saying the guy piloting that one probably wont be walking away from that crash. I remarked "well..." and was going to say"it did skid across the ground so there's a chance he survived" Then the other end of the rocket came spinning down and crashed off to the side of my view some moderate distance away in an industrial building's parking lot.

we kept driving for a short distance and I fell asleep there and woke up here in irl again. very strange super vivid and lucid dreams.

I hit the same issue with my kinetic/electric defender. Socket core flawless genesis being equipped caused a crash, not didn't. Re-equipping genesis when I had a technician following caused a mapserve within maybe 5 seconds. (Unlike some people's experiences my socket was still equipped after I loaded back in)

I however had reactive core flawless for my interface socketed (as socket affects that proc at higher levels) so this implies a: it's the genesis being socketed specifically, and b: as warburg is below 50 it's likely the under-level-45 proc component causing issues.

We'd need someone with a different genesis to check, specifically if using the granted genesis power of the other three counts. (The reason being the other three grant a use power, but socket gives a proc and it's a delayed crash so could well be on the proc activating)

I had a thought about this, I'd be interested in knowing what form of critter the lab technicians are. specifically because they are in a pvp zone I wonder if they are coded to have tohit or resistance though they do not have a health bar and cannot die.

My point is, if socket core flawless is casting a debuff or buff on the lab tech that it can "technically" recieve because it does have that stat, but that stat is hardcoded or causes a chain reaction to modify values which do not exist on the target.. that'd definitely crash the mapserver or at least confuse it beyond recovery.

imagine casting a tohit check on a critter that is an invalid target with no stats at all, OR nothing to modify where an Unresistable effect is cast.

imagine if it was trying to cast DoT onto the labtech who has no health value to be adjusted and cannot die, NoneType - 5 DoT = crash..

I suspect this is the shared issue between all toons which cause the crash genesis or not.

Javascript cannot represent any number (int or decimal/float) longer than 17 digits

Just as a Rule Of Thumb™ ... I'm thinking that 10 significant digits ought to be "sufficient" for most calcluations ... and that if necessary you might want to limit to 15 significant digits in all circumstances. The motivation behind that notion is that 15 significant digits gives you a "2 digit buffer" below the limit of 17.

sounds good, it will speed up the process, what I'll do is continue as normal and limit the precision to 15. If there are problems where things are totaling up wrong, then I'll make custom long-math calculators.
