Talk:Temporary Powers

Needed Info

The Hyper Stealth power "How to get" needs to be fleshed out. And, of course, the numerous other temporary powers in the game need to be added. —TonyV

Mission Icon

I could not find an icon to match Throwing knives origin power. It looks like the Image:ThermalRadiation HeatExhaustion.png but is grey, like the other temp powers StarGeek 16:01, 18 Jan 2006 (CST)

I'll take a look. They may have rolled out some new icons with the new powers in the client update on Tuesday. -- TonyV 10:59, 19 Jan 2006 (CST)

I found and uploaded the correct image, checking to see if there are any other new ones --StarGeek 22:28, 22 Jan 2006 (CST)

I forgot what the image was for the Mutagen power, but I suspect it's . --StarGeek 23:03, 22 Jan 2006 (CST)

Stolen SMG

I don't have data on this CoV temp power, but Dev _Castle_ said that those with a Natural origin get a damage bonus. Actually, the [full quote] is

Natural heroes get a bonus with the Stolen SMG. Tech folks get bonuses with High Explosives. Blackwand gives bonuses to Magic types. Minor Mutation is more effective for Mutants. The Psionic Activator is more effective if you are a Science origin. - _Castle_

Wheel of Destruction powers

The duration of the Wheel of Destruction powers is not listed in their descriptions. I'll try to find them out, assuming they're timed. Also worth noting is that although the Empowered Shart of the Wheel is listed as "Minor DMG(Fire)," in actual use, the damage seems pretty damn heavy to me. It's more powerful than just about any of my other dark scrapper attacks. Hmmm... --TonyV 19:05, 3 Feb 2006 (CST)

Every time I've gotten them, they didn't last longer than the mission or hitting the contact (I can't remember which). My current alt didn't finish this arc until he outleveled it (level 28 vs level 24 enemies) just a couple days ago and didn't receive any of the temp powers. On the other hand, the previous time I had this mission, I insisted that my teammates take the powers, and they kept them after the mission was done and I had hit the contact. I think I have 2 alts in this level range, I'll also try and grab it and see what happens. --StarGeek 19:15, 3 Feb 2006 (CST)
