Zombie Man

Well, fun is like taste... non disputande.

But as far as difficulty, if it seems that by I21 there aren't speed Keyes and people still haven't achieved the MoKeyes Accolade in the same rate as previous iTrials and TFs, then I will encourage the Devs to datamine that, and if it is indeed the case, I personally, will be lobbying for the Keyes mechanics to lighten up a bit.

BAB will be a signature NPC Contact or Ally in the tutorial. If he is 'killed off', then the LRSF will have to remove him along with any other arc that references him, because, the tutorial represents an event that happens before all other events your character may encounter in the game. He will thus become just some no-name that dies in the tutorial.

So... no. And no. And no.

Being logged out about four times a day for the past week.

Groups are already starting to pick up the 'impossible' MoKeyes Accolade and learning how to speed it in the process (nearly getting all terminals unlocked even before AM shows up).

It's not hard. It's just new tactics to get used to. There is no need to reduce the difficulty.

Galaxy's destruction is a done deal. There's no reversing that decision since the tutorial is in playable condition already. The Devs will not spend the resources to destroy 'something else.'

Making an Echo of Galaxy accessible by other means than a level 14 gate Ouroboros zone is doable. We just got to keep asking them to do it.

Since we already have ported powersets that were previously said "would never be done" or "would be too over powered" or "would be too weak and broken" and those ports worked out fine, I tend to disregard any other such similar statements about other ports.

Just FYI: What is left to proliferate.

Just FYI: What is left to proliferate.

Here is a spreadsheet of powersets as they will be in Issue 21.

To read the sheet, go by columns. Take for example the Melee Powersets in the first column. There are 18 different Melee Powersets. Tankers and Scrappers have access to 13 of them; Stalkers, 11; and Brutes 14.

Still going down, you see that Scrapper and Brutes have access to Katana. Tankers only have access to Ice Melee. And so on.

Yellow highlights are the I21 Proliferation 3.0 Powersets. The salmon highlights are the new powersets in I21.

So, what's left to proliferate?

Proliferation of Concepts

If you take a look as this spreadsheet, it shows what type of powers, conceptually, have been proliferated into different powerset categories.

So, take a look, for example, at Fire in the first row. Fire (or 'Thermal') is represented in every powerset category. So that means you can have a Fire/Fire Anything AT, right? Not so fast. It won't be until Issue 21 that Fire Blast will be proliferated to Defenders. So, until then, you can't have a Fire/Thermal Defender.

But once everything is proliferated to every set, then that means you can have a PowerTypeX/PowerTypeX Anything AT, right? Not so fast. Even if all powersets are proliferated to all ATs, there are still some gaps in proliferating the Conceptual Power Type to every Powerset Category. So, for example, there is no Dark Control nor Dark Assault. This means you can't have a Dark/Dark Controller or Dominator.

Now, some concepts just don't make sense to be in every Powerset Category. There will be no War Mace Control Set or Dual Pistols Melee (and just because you can conceive of it cartoonishly happening, doesn't mean it's justifiable).

But the gaps in the spreadsheet show where future *new* powersets can go by extending the concepts of some Powerset Categories to other Categories. The obvious gaps are:

Electricity:

• Buff

Energy:

• Control
• Buff

Radiation:

• Control
• Melee
• Defense

Dark:

• Control
• Support

Archery:

• Control
• Assault/Support (mixed with Traps/Devices)

Spines:

• Ranged

Storm:

• Control
• Ranged
• Assault/Support

Plant:

• Summoning
• Buff

Illusion:

• Summoning
• Buff

Time:

• Control

Gravity:

• Buff

Stone/Earth:

• Summoning
• Ranged
• Buff

Mechanical:

• Power Gloves/Arms Melee (toons limited to armored hands/arms)
• Armor Defense (toons limited to armor costumes)
• Traps/Devices/Miniature Robotics Control

Shields:

• Assault/Support

Blasting Melee Weapon:

• Like the Arachnos Mace a weapon that can be swung in melee and shoots stuff. This would be a forced-paired Ranged and Assault/Support set for Blasters and Dominators (no redraw!). There could be versions of Fist Blades, Swords, Maces, Axes, Bayonettes, etc....
