I agree, but the thing is they said the new powers wont need to hit anyone to keep working. They also mentioned it was a Heal over Time, and that's it. If it gives me a small tic of healing for every enemy i hit, I'd take it, but if it will just be a weakened version of Pain's Soothing Aura, then I don't think this one is worth taking.

Honestly once they said powers would be along the lines of Drain Psyche I hoped they just added a Regen mechanic to Consume over the recovery.

That's true for Fenders, but I think Ruptors will have a harder time keeping the perma potential, the Tactics boost of corruptors is considerably lower on them.

I cant make any based opinion until the i24 beta actually hits. But +regen most of the time is better than healing over time. We can see how Pain's bubble is more useful on a Mastermind than it is on a Corruptor.

Unless the healing tic is considerably moderate it will be subpar when compared to other ones, specially if you only depend on that one power to keep you alive while you are mezzed.

I'll help test this ad-nauseum once this gets to beta, having someone from the "We are fine as it is" throwing numbers might help balance the final product during beta .

As a matter of fact, yes, but I'm not here to speak about that kind of stuff. If anything I dont mind whatever good changes might come to the AT, even if I think they are or arent neccesary. I may not see them as neccesary, but I /am/ biased, if people think they are neccesary and I get a buff out of it, who am I to get mad about that?

still 45 minutes to go

Based on what Freitag said, it is not a level pact. Back then you had split XP between characters, now is(if what i understand is right) just a way to share your extra 50% exp for a time with another character

So,let me get this straight. I buy the 50% XP booster, I have my 50% and then I get to choose someone else on whom to use an extra booster on? That sounds like an amazing idea, if that is how it works, sharing is always nice and its technically buying two boosters for the price of one.

This is the part where I have to step in after just watching in the sidelines for maybe too long. After all, that is an attack to a lot of people just for not sharing your point of view.

The whole point of City of Heroes is freedom, not only because it was just branded into the name, but because the game itself has always been about creating the character you want, however you want it to be, being free to play the game however you want. Not only the devs don't enforce the lore on you, they even encourage you to play outside of it if so you choose with awesome tools such as Architect Entertainment.

Now, on what part of this do people who don't use the "canon" lore hate the game? The two biggest comic book publishers have characters that share an universe, and not only that, a lot of those characters contradict one another in many ways of how "power" and "development" goes.

The way this conversation it's going reminds me to some tabletop roleplayers that will grind to a book and use everything like if it was some sort of sacred text, how it must be said by something on the book and the fact the Game Master says something that contradicts the "established" lore in any way has said players go ballistic and start quoting books from memory fiercely.

Everyone must play however they want, and a lot of people remember other players in different ways. Something as simple as having someone be polite and nice during a TF while staying IC is something that has given me quite good impressions in the past. I really couldn't care less if the canon is followed 100% or just 1%, it's what you do and how you interact with others what will ultimately decide how you will be treated and remembered.

But if anyone, lore-followers or not, go into the stance of "the other side is wrong", well... then both are equally wrong and are not worth anyone's time. At least not mine.

EDIT PD: By the way, my main character is an atheist while my secondary main is an ascended god. How the atheist views gods? Inmortal magic people who are all over themselves.

Found it on Talos!
