_Zep_

I specifically asked about this when I cornered one of the producers and programmers at the last meet and greet.

Any power which invokes an inviable pseudo pet has to be specially coded for the procs to work on the targets after the first. At that time Jolting Chain had not been 'fixed.'

I suggest a PM to Castle from everyone who would like to see this working

Last I heard, both

So sad. Q-FLight used to be awesome.

A perfect little 'get out of being dead' power.

I was OK with the long recharge. I was OK with the increasing end cost.

The brown and smelly stuff is hitting the wall, hit Q-Flight and run.

Have to cut across talos or IP to get somewhere... hit conserve power - q-flight and go at max fly speed.

My fire/storm controller does significantly more DPS then my tri-Kheld and has tons of control.

I like my PB and enjoy being mr. versatile, I dont expect him to be the 'best' be nice if I could be 85% of the best at blasting and not run out of end tanking. (though recent changed may have fixed that)

You don't have a fire/storm controller.

I'd say fire/kin while effective at dealing damage is over hyped. I think /Rad gets over hyped sometimes as well.

Storm is under hyped. It is a very strong set for (soft) control, debuff, and dealing damage.

DING DING DING DING

Give the man a cigar.

To further clarify and reiterate;

As it was stated in the original post I made the 'hate' was all about server resources. Masterminds use as much server time as *SEVEN* regular characters once they take their last pet. How do I know this......? Because the next question asked by the crowd was "Why do you hate masterminds?"

I met Posi and spoke to him One on One at the first Hero Con as well. Unless Cryptic is using impersonators to represent the Dev's AND Cryptic is keeping the same, errr, actors on payroll then I am pretty sure I correctly identified who I was speaking too as well, Oh and well, Everyone was wearing name badges too. Dev's even had special glowy lanyards (at the meet and greet, dont remember them from Hero con)

Should I post pictures of the Hero-Con T-shirt? And the glowy statesman badge I picked up more recently? Or should I just take some screen shots of my characters in the Dark Carnival costume (hero con) or the Meat Doctor costume (meet and greet). Ever since I got the Meat Doctor thing I have been fighting an impulse to make an Empath defender for some reason.

I see; are you saying that an eye witness report is not "proof?"

You know, a person who was in the room with and heard him say it? At a Q&A session full of people who play the game.

Perhaps what you meant to say was that you were hoping to find a second source rather then publicly doubting the word of the poster who stated hearing the "I hate masterminds?"

You could like, PM Posi you know and check. Or for the matter any of the other dev's that went to the meet and greet. Well 1/2 of them anyways. We split into two groups so we could fit in the conference rooms.

Why are you being so defensive anyways?

I've run into it a few times. More so on my fire/storm controller or storm/electric defender then the pb.

I have also run into anti-kheld players.

All of the above are not what most people are like, just a very vocal few.

Do you remember the first time they tried to fix pets and elevators? When you could still have an army of imps (pets) and they would go hostile on you at the door/elevator when you used it.

My fire/kin used to peak out around 20 imps out, many more the time I was on a lab map and got all four of the chambers to give me a haste bonus.

My fire/storm could manage 12-15 at his best.

Sadlt those days are long gone.

Having just three imps does mean I am not hitting the summon pet button every 45 seconds or whatever it was. Lets me do other things.

Of course a swarm of 20 imps crawling over a spawn of mobs in and of its self was a whole lot of control.... all those imps taking hits that would otherwise drop my life total.

I was at the last meet and greet, then one in San Francisco.

Posi repeated several times that he hates Master Minds. More about the server resources they use up then the class design.

Posi stated that each henchman uses the same server time as a full character.

Yes.

I have a fire storm controller. Tornado is a 6 slot power. Find the slots. Max it out. Recharge, damage, end redux. The Achilles proc is a good choice as is a damage proc if your franken slot the recharge and damage you have room.

Achiles may not stack with its self, however your freezing rain isn't going to proc on every mob. Tornado will go find mobs and share its loving touch with them, procs and all.

I really like the idea of having the toggles suppress while in nova/dwarf.

It would make my tri-build much more viable being able to jump into human shape to build-up/use seekers/etc and feel safer about it. Nova gets a lot of mitigation by being at the ceiling and having toggles flash back on when I drop out could be nice.

I'd like to have my big glowy balls more often. Slight increase in the radius? Not as big as before, when it was a problem, but bigger.

I have played, on and off, since before the release of issue one.

The 1.0 modifier and the 75% have both been around since then and to my knowledge the launch of the game.

Mids is taking a shortcut in how it displays the information.

To the original idea, if accuracy were to be adjusted by the devs, and should they wish to hide this fact, were I a Dev, I would simply tweak the random number generation process for To_Hit calls. I do not believe that any such thing, hidden or declared has happened.

You have not answered a key question in your assumed 'nerf.' Why would the Dev team change a process that has worked and is working? A core game mechanic that players by and large are quite happy with.

Should you be tempted to say that you still believe accuracy not to be working as declared, and that it was not changed on purpose, then it is a BUG not a nerf, and you should be prepared to post a significant amount of data supporting your claim.

Sets of to-hit rolls, reported and derived hit chances. The power used, level of the target, level of the 'Hero/Villian,' how the power was slotted, etc. Blocks of data with N lower then a few thousand really wont show anything. Even with a large data set, all you will really show is that random number generators in computer games are not perfect. I also suspect the streak break code will skew the results.

I have, over the years, watched many 'Acc Nerf' threads go by. None I have read showed anything other then game mechanics working as advertised.

My thought would be photon seekers from the peace bringer power set. If all three detonate and overlap the same target.
