Why no Ice Melee for Stalkers? Is it because of wanting animation time for Assassin's Strike?
And why neither for Scrappers? (Ice/Ice) -
Quote:Without Dark Control, Dark Assault would be lonely.Originally Posted by Tormentoso
Crossing fingers blasters' dark/dark is a testing ground for a Dominator's Dark assault. I've always thought Dark assault shouldn't be too hard with what we have now, but without a dark control or something in that vein in the works soon, it'd only be half the fun.
And the tricky thing about Dark Control is that it will have to work with Dark Miasma for Controllers, which will be problematic since Miasma is already very controllery. -

DEMONS/SONIC OH MAH GAWWDDD!!!!!
In Beta, the Demons were doing so much stacked -Resist, that they were far surpassing what a Sonic/Sonic Defender could do... which should not be the case. No other AT should be able to out-debuff a synergistic Defender. And so, the -Resist of the Demons was scaled back rather significantly.
So, we'll have to see exactly how much -Resist a Demons/Sonic can throw. -

I see DARK MANIPULATION having these powers (not necessarily in this order)
1. Shadow Punch
2. Smite
3. Dark Consumption
4. Cloak of Darkness
5. Midnight Grasp
6. Tar Patch without the -res
7. Petrifying Gaze with damage component
8. Build-Up
9. a single target version of Fearsome Stare

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, because I'm not, but changing the Stalker's Repulse to a stun aura, doesn't that break the cottage rule?

Exited the game overnight and tried again. Still gray. What gives?

Now that CoH:Freedom means there is no longer such a thing as a Heroic AT or Villainous AT, can we have bright colors for Pain now, or will you port Empathy to MMs so that there can be truly heroic MMs if the player wishes to role-play as such?

How would Soul Mastery for Blasters work with Dark Blast? You could with enough recharge and endurance(Hello Ageless) spam TT+Nightfall x 2 and destroy everything. And if Dark Manipulation gets Oppressive Gloom as well, that's instant mag 4 stun on everything that gets near you.
Speaking of Moonbeam... it's one of the three very long range snipes out there. So... fun. -
The good news from Ustream:
1. Proliferation will continue until there is nothing left to proliferate (that should be understood as "within reason").
2. Future 'new' sets will come fully proliferated. To me, this should mean that Stalkers will get Titan Weapon melee, otherwise, this is not a true statement. -
So, Dark Blast for Blaster should look like:
Dark Blast
Gloom
Moonbeam
Aim
Tenebrous Tentacles
Abyssal Gaze
Umbral Torrent
Life Drain

Quote:Well, whadyaknow. First step is coming: Blasters get Dark Blast and the new Dark Manipulation.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
To summarize:
- You have to port Dark Blast to Blasters who will want a matching Dark Manipulation.
- Dark Manipulation would pretty much be copied over to Dark Assault for Dominators.
- Dominators and Controllers would want a Dark Control which can't repeat anything in Dark Assault or Dark Miasma which is going to be really difficult since Dark Miasma already is control-heavy.
- And none of the sets can repeat what are in the hero or villain Dark Epic Power Pools.
So, this would not be power *proliferation*. There would have to be three new powersets created around 'no doubles' powers tetris.
And Dark/Dark Dominators is coming... soon. -

NO, about stuff I can't post about due to forum rules. This helpdesk is full of the sharpest people I ever seen. I've included screenshots about exploits but they refuse to fix them.

Quote:Ouroboros arcs represent not only different points in time but also alternative timelines that are not continuous with our present time, e.g., the Calvin Scott "Task Force".Originally Posted by Rodoan
That's given me an interesting thought. In the introductory missions for Ouroborus, we have to travel back to Outbreak and rescue Coyote and the cops (sounds like a band). Anyway, its clearly stated that your character has previously done this before. So, if the initial Outbreak goes away, do we change to a different initiation in Ouroborus?

You're contradicting yourself. Because it sounds like you're admitting to leaking information about an unreleased feature that you saw in a previous CB, and that you think it's OK because it's not this CB.

I don't get why they can't just take Dark Blast and Dark Melee and then go from there. There can't be that much in terms of new powers really.

We're all losing focus on the important issue here. Convincing someone in NCSoft to write up the full proposal for the Dark Manipulation secondary for blasters.
1) Gravimetric Snare (it needs a name change)
2) Shadow Punch
3) Smite
4) Soul Drain
5) Dark Consumption
6) Shadow Maul
7) Midnight Grasp
8) Cloak of Darkness
9) Fearsome Stare

[/ QUOTE ]Actually Synapse and I have been puzzling over the dark sets. Just for fun, I'll shed some light on the subject.
So, lets start this with a riddle, since the explanation is just as incomprehensible. Why does Dark Miasma overlapping Dark Control powers make a straight port of Dark Manipulation problematic?
The explanation is, there are a couple powersets that would be sharing an interesting combination of powers. For example, Controllers want Dark Control and Dark Miasma, except Dark Miasma is already a very control heavy set which would supply a lot of Dark Controls powers. Combining Dark/Dark this way could lead to a lot of overalap.
Dominators would want Dark Control and Dark Assault, so Dark Assault would have to be careful not to include control powers from Dark Blast or Dark melee.
Blasters are easier, however the powers that go to blasters would likely be included in Dark Assault, which goes opposite dark control.
Then there are the general AT wide no-no's. Such as: giving armor powers to non-armored classes, or overlapping powers alread in patron pools.
So in the end, it's not designing one powerset. It's designing 3 different powersets:
Dark Control/Dark Miasma for Controllers
Dark Control/Dark Assault for Dominators
Dark Blast/Dark Manipulation for Blasters
Well, that's enough "dark" for several posts. And no, nothing is in the works yet.
- You have to port Dark Blast to Blasters who will want a matching Dark Manipulation.
- Dark Manipulation would pretty much be copied over to Dark Assault for Dominators.
- Dominators and Controllers would want a Dark Control which can't repeat anything in Dark Assault or Dark Miasma which is going to be really difficult since Dark Miasma already is control-heavy.
- And none of the sets can repeat what are in the hero or villain Dark Epic Power Pools.
So, this would not be power *proliferation*. There would have to be three new powersets created around 'no doubles' powers tetris.
