  1. Nice job IK, I tackled the links issue to a lessor extent in another area, not the most fun endeavor if you don't know where, or who posted the original. Thanks for doing the work.

    What'ya Think

    Freeform, dynamic Respec suggestion. Respec only what you want, without the hassle of undoing/redoing everything.

    The goody bag of QoL upgrades is open of late (pets can now zone -i16, zomg, etc) this would be a quality addition.

    Pop a response in the linked thread with your feedback if you like, with some support maybe this could get in for Going Rogue .

But I don't want to have to rebuild her from the ground up I'd like to just be able to roll back a level or 2 to make a minor adjustment. I can see other instances where someone might want to change somethign farther back but again not have to compleat a full re-build.

    Basically freeform, or dynamic respecs would enable that ability. Like Bill mentioned, Mids hero designer is a template of how it could work (notice the "dynamic" tab).

    With so many formerly untenable options being unveiled of late, this one would be a fabulous QoL addition that' would be well received, you would think.

    Just in terms of pure game play, I'd much rather play through the LRSF on a tanker than I would play through the STF on a brute. LRSF on a tanker sounds like fun. STF on a brute sounds frustrating and unpleasant.

    Personally I have a stone/stone Brute that'll be going over with GR, because it plays closer to a Tank solo then most of the other choices (c/beta's past have given me all the brute varieties at 50 to test).

    When crossover zones were introduced with new co-op tf's the same predictions were offered ad nauseum.
    Can anyone point to a personal experience of a forming team (lgtf/itf) asking the Tank if they happen to have a Brute they could switch to?
    Neither can I, after 500 some runs on both (mrs & I are itf/lgtf junkies).

    Far from extinction, tanks have remained a popular AT since that issue (10), and even the discussions over them tend to illicit much more passion on the various topics then do the counterparts in the Brute section (also post #'s, though anecdotal).

    Tanks have their niche, they're more durable out of the box then any other AT.
    They are Superman & Capt Marvel from lvl1 up without support.

    Actually this isn't even the accurate topic regarding GR's possible impact, the real question should be posed in another AT section entirely.
    Whether Brutes will replace Scrappers.



    The last bit of input I have, is what my tanks say to these obsolete AT arguments that pop up,

    No kidding, especially with IO sets that can slot into multiple powers, taking screenies, or having Mids open to remember what goes where.

    I've passed on a couple freespecs just because of the minor hassle involved to change a single thing on the build you'd like to try differently.

    "Definitely" is too strong considering data mining shows that all of the tank sets perform well above most of the other ATs.

    And the "tankers are broken" type threads you see, are mostly from under ten people who have regular issues with the AT, out of everyone who posts in this section.

    I have nothing else constructive to add, except maybe it's the agro cap. =T

    Freeform Respecs

    The extra functionality of respec'ing only the section of the power set you wish to alter.

    For example, you don't want to alter any part of your Primary/Secondary, but you wish to try a new Epic/Power Pool on your AT.

    Dynamic respecs would be a fairly large QoL upgrade (for GR..maybe..).


    I'm guessing this has been offered before, but I don't have the time to searchFu right now.

    Links

    Links have been refreshed, if you think of anything to add yell out, and if you have something to edit that's been up there awhile, there's no limit to editing for now.
  11. Increasing the cap to 20 would be an improvement, but removing it altogether would lend itself to the same exploits used before i5 ( this from someone who used to entire map sweep on an all HO'd fire tank =T ).

    Not that it adds to OP's topic, but in comparison to the upcoming mmo competition, this game's agro cap is colossal (17 compared to 3-5), little wonder since Jack/Geko got their herding clamps added from ground zero this time around.

    Actually they did help immensely, just the sheer task of organizing 290+ players into specific groups that Marut Radi scatterpack KOS me and some others had, was facilitated enormously by Upsen's uniform idea.

    The regular hami runnings stuck with the uniforms only for about a month or so as everyone became old hats at the strategy and their AT's roles in it.
    But the lag was enormously reduced by implementing Ups' suggestion, no capes/no auras, so that I could even do a raid on a laptop, which I could no longer do when they slid back to 'come as you are'.

    Seriously, WHY? I want to know.
    I would rather read comments from nice people who gimme good rep.

    PP is rockin' her rep meter .

    Edit, then I saw DR's,

  14. Darn late work, at least I'm employed I guess, lol. Will aim for the one on Justice.
  15. Try SD/FM/Pyre, the epic will give you some ranged blaster type attacks, and fire plays more like a squishy damage AT secondary.

    As was stated before, make sure you don't have the 'http://www.' in there twice.

    Actually you were perma banned on the US boards

    (an unintended oversight in the merge hopefully) by EX for an antagonizing style of single sentence replies punctuated every time with a smirk, even after you were told to stop. They were then perma banned on the CO boards for the same thing.

    GG is the only one to go from 0 to forum cartel in three, count them, three months, on the EU boards last year, while simultaneously hitting 2K-ish posts over on Cryptics boards, lol.


    Those other forums miss you, surely. =T
