Quote:agreed.. there is no shortage of tanks..I have several and trying to figure out which one I will team with Titan Weapons shortly.. I dont have a Stone Tank yet... hmmm big rock guy.... big weapon....Originally Posted by Deus_Otiosus
Contrary to this posters constant fear mongering for some sudden extinction of tankers, I see no shortage of Tankers on both Freedom and Virtue server where I run 2-4 Incarnate Trials per night.
I easily see as many Tankers as I do Scrappers and Brutes.
hmmmmmmmmmmm -
In all honesty.. I dont see anything seriously wrong with tanks. If I want more damage I play one of my brutes. If I want survivability I play a tank.. simple...
and you know what.. most times I just play whatever I feel like playing.. -
Quote:This has nothing to do with it.. Phantom Army is immune to being buffed..Originally Posted by Daemodand
The reason Illusion is "overpowered" on Controllers is because they have a buffing secondary. Illusion on Doms would be nowhere near as powerful as on Controllers, so I don't buy the "it's too strong" argument.
However a Perma PA pet army with a Phantom that also casts a decoy Phantom with a Spectral Terror that casts fears on mobs and the ability to Deceive a powerful LT or Minion in one application..
WHILE allowing the Dominator to liberally toss around their attacks with little to no fear of drawing any aggro and no threat whatsoever of being mezzed with Permadom makes a very very strong case for being overpowered...
And I love dominators.. I just know what I could so with an Illusion themed Dom QUITE easily knowing what I can already do with an Illusion/Rad quite easily.. The Dom IMO would overpowered which is why I believe we havent seen one yet and if we did I suspect it would not be the version that everyone wants.. -
i want the Knockback removed from Solar Flare.. It is one of the only Melee PbAoE in the whole game that does knockback (the other one being Thunderstrike if I remember correctly) . It should be removed PERIOD.. It is simply penalizing PB's now. Teams in general have an issue with PB because of the Cysts and because of knockback which is understandable. Unlike other knockback which often can be controlled with intelligent play and position PbAoE knockack is not so easy to manage. Then consider all the other things in the PB set that have knockback and it becomes one of the most annoying things to team with.
Also the excuse that removing the KB or turning it into KD would make it overpowered is sheer stupidity.
Lets look at that theory...
The SS/Fire brute has fury giving them a consistent damage boost, plus a massive damage boost from Rage which can be EASILY perma'd, ANOTHER damage boost in Fiery Embrace, a KNOCKDOWN PbAoE in Footstomp, Another PbAoE in Blazing Aura, and then finally an Easily Perma'd PbAoE in Burn...
And this ignores the fact that you could also easly take Fireball for yet ANOTHER attack while ranged can be easily used as ANOTHER PbAoE...
Not to mention a higher damage cap and a very huge heal in Healing Flames and if I am correct a higher HP cap as well.
So the Brute can spam Footstomp, buff themselves greatly, and Burn the crap out of everything in a small area ????!!!!!!
and the PEACEBRINGER would be overpowered by turning knockback into knockdown ????!!!!!
Are you SERIOUS???!!!!!!
THATS what pisses me off.. the disparity in what is seen as overpowered...
breathing... calming down.... rage subsiding..... -
I bought like 5 of the proc and three of the regular IO as I usually 4 slot the set to get the acc bonus. Im looking at the Kin Combats for another toon I just started.
If the Numina Proc was available I would have brought those as well. -
Probably because the devs know just like the players who want Illusion on Doms so badly how ridiculously overpowered such a set would be.
Illusion/Rad controllers can already solo giant monsters and AV's pretty easily.
Now you are going to give Illusion to a AT that has better holds, mez protection, huge end recovery and an assault secondary?
I think if they ported Illusion over that they would make changes ( I think they would make the pets killable ) and everyone would be ticked.
I would much rather have something NEW and UNIQUE to dominators. Let controllers keep illusion. -
1) I would fix the disparity between Tanker Taunt Auras. SR and WP need to be much better than they are.
2) I would raise the resistance on Fire Armor slightly so that it is a little more durable and not so heavily reliant on tough
3) I would raise the defense values on tanks so that they can reach a defense of 60 easier to make them better on the Incarnate trials.
4) I would reduce the end costs of some toggles because I think that tanks end management is their bigger issue
5) I would increase the number of targets that taunt auto hits from 5 to probably 8-10
6) I would fix energy melee for tanks only. I totally understand why they did what they did with stalkers and scrappers getting it.. but it seriously affected tanks.
I dont think Tanks need more damage. I think their damage is just fine. -

What you mean is a points-based ability purchase system, kind of like the HERO system aka Champions PnP.
This would be *incredibly difficult* to do with the current powers system. It would be easier to do for NPCs because you can err on the side of caution when it comes to building NPC ability. The Architect custom critter system works on a very simplified version of such a system.
But to do this on the player side would require so much limiters and cut-offs you'd just be fielding complaint after complaint about why this power costs this much when it should cost that much, from people who were just wildly guessing. Unless your system was anchored in bedrock, it would be a huge mess to deal with.
I say that as someone who's thought through the entire process from beginning to end, without skipping any steps, with real numbers. Its not impossible, but with our system you either hit the bullseye, or you end up completely broken. There's no middle ground.
Being a very experienced Hero System PnP player ( since the first editions almost 20 years ago ), This would be impossible to implement in the current system and even if you made a new system from scratch it would be very easy to be overpowered or totally gimped.. -
Quote:What ???? ROFL !!!! BRUAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAOriginally Posted by IzzySoft
Well, theres always room for improvement! PB's were awesome from the start, but players were too jealous of them. So, they were nerfed! Not because they werent good to start with, other players felt inadequate!
I get it!
Thats why this Mixed Breed AT wont make other players feel inadequate. it just slightly does things better, IF, and only IF, the player knows what he/she is doing!
This isnt STAPLES! Just becuase u have a certain AT doesnt mean you'll be Ubber! No EASY button 4 u!

I need the LoTG, Basiliks Gaze and Kin Combat spread out for a few toons.
-
its a bug that happened to me as well. I just exited the game completely and reloaded and I was able to play.

This should exist especially for F2P players.. -
Quote:Again I am stating my personal opinion... I dont think every powerset should be proliferated amongst AT's.. I dont care about getting an Illusion Dom.. I am well aware of the differences in playstyles between Dom and Controllers owning several of each.. and several control types..Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
Ugh, no; Controllers and Doms should share every control set. Keeping a set to just one AT doesn't mean that AT is special, it just means you are artificially limiting the other AT. Doms are defined by the fact that they are Control/Assault, and play quite differently than Controllers. An Illusion Dom would not play like an Illusion Controller.
I suspect that most people want Illusion Doms because they realize how ridiculously overpowered they would be and therefore want one.. -
Quote:Why do you care what people do with their money? I hope a lot of people buy these things. I am going to be one of them. The more money CoH makes it should lead to more things being produced to better the game.Originally Posted by bloodyboots
Great. Now even some of best IO's are on sale for real money. What's next, level 50 characters? Where is the attraction to play, level, find, and slot up characters when someone with a bunch of cash can just buy everything you spent weeks working towards? If you wanted to make these sets easier to obtain, why not discount their Merit point or Astral point cost for the Thanksgiving weekend? City of $$$$

Quote:I dont want an Illuion port.. I dont care if Doms evert get Illusion.. I would rather that Controllers KEEP Illusion to themselves ( and I have an Illusion controller ). I would rather that Dominators that get something is THEIRS... Something that defines the AT I guess is what I am looking for..Originally Posted by DarkCurrent
I'll agree with you to the extent I'm not convinced dark control is the something 'special' for doms. New animations should be cool, but the concept isn't anything OMG at this point. That's not to say I'm expecting something else will be announced, because I'm not. I think in the Devs mind, this is the special treat. I disagree.
I'm also still miffed that it took this long to get dark assault proliferated. All it is is a cobbled set, so what was the hold up?
Plus, there's no Illusion port AGAIN. If there's a plan to revamp illusion or whatever, then say so and people will quit asking about it.
If whips and chains is released, then I'd be ecstatic. But dark... most folks are looking at that like 'yeah, should've been in the game already' and not as something 'special' that you had to wait for it.
In the mean time I am going to make a Mind/Nrg Dom. I have never played a Mind toon at all so that should be fun..
Bottom Line what I am seeing is them making sets for where the money is.. Doms are probably very low on that list although their fans are loyal.. even to the point of rabid.
I just started playing Doms last year.. and thats after being in the game for almost 8 years now. I love Doms... its the playstyle I think that suits me best.. If I could only pick ONE AT to play.. I would pick a Dom every time.. -
he he thats the thread I started..

Quote:Its not the pay issue.. people keep pointing out the issue that it costs money.. if its good.. people will pay.. IOriginally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
Well since Freedom came out we have six new sets announced/released:
Beam Rifle: Pay only
Time Manipulation: Free for VIPs
Street Justice: Pay only
Titan Weapons: Pay only
Darkness Control: Free for VIPs
Staff Fighting: Pay only
So yes melee characters are getting more sets than other ATs but they are having to pay for all of them. Except for Beam Rifle the non-melee sets have been free for VIPs. Honestly this doesn't surprise me, melee characters are by far the most popular so giving them lots of pay-to-play powersets is a good move in terms of income.
As for Dominators losing out, sure they didn't get any proliferation in I21 but they are one of only two ATs to get proliferation in I22 (Dark Assault is considered a proliferation apparently). So freedom launch through I22 Dominators are coming out ok. They are tied with MMs with two new/proliferated sets and only one set behind Stalkers and Blasters who each have three new/proliferated sets. Sure it would be nice to see more Dominator sets but it would be nice to see new sets of every type. I don't particularly begrudge the devs for making lots of new melee sets, I'm not interested in them but I'm sure they sell a lot better than other set types. -

What about the Paragon Points, Tokens and Transfers SO MANY people havent gotten yet.. I dont even know I have gotten my allotment for my subscription yet..
Now you are putting stuff on sale that people should be able to buy or buy cheaper and they cannot because they have been screwed on the points.
This needs to be addressed immediately. -
Quote:OH SNAP !!!!Originally Posted by Lazarillo
Well, ****, I'm gonna have to get a few of these.
I didnt see the Basiliks Gaze !!!!! -
Zombie I understand what is being said. What I am getting out of it is.. Doms are low on the totem pole of importance..
Melee has gotten one brand new Powerset with a NEW mechanic in Street Justice. They are set to get ANOTHER brand NEW Powerset with a NEW mechanic in Titan Weapon in a few weeks. And we have already seen and it was confirmed that there will be yet ANOTHER new set with a NEW mechanic in Staff Melee..
So they are not only adding new animations but also new game mechanics as well.
And Dominators are still waiting.. and they get Dark Control.. which is shared with the controllers.. so the reality is.. We made it for controllers but you can have it too.. and we all know the Assault set will be a profilerated version of the blaster Darkness sets to some degree..
Again dominators have waited patiently a long time.. As has the Stalker community and I NEVER play stalkers and I say its ABOUT TIME they got a fix to some of the serious issues of Stalkers..
PB's got a a MUCH needed fix.. Stalkers are getting one.. Dominators are just saying... hey just tell us whats on the docket..
Dark Control feels like a pacifier.. -
So tell me if I have this straight..
Start a Free Account.. upgrade it to VIP for a buck..
Then its a VIP account and when I dont pick up the subscription it becomes a Premium Account ??
Is this correct,, because if it is, Im definitely getting a second account finally.. -
Quote:Pretty much everything that Doms has had has been a port. Since its inception all they made for doms that was unique was the Plant Primary and that was ported over to Controllers. Thorny Assault was a version of Spines. That was from issue 8 I believe. It wasnt until Issue 18 that they got Electric and Earth Control if my memory serves correct was ported over with Earth Assault as a new set.Originally Posted by BrandX
A new free set isn't special? Or isn't special because it's not one of twnety new sets? Or because they're giving it to Trollers as well?
Dark Assault I have no idea on. Maybe it's just ported Dark Blast/Melee powers, maybe it's not, maybe it's a combo? But that is a second powerset.
And outside of Illusion which they're not willing to do yet (or at all, though I dont recall hearing a dev ever say that), Dominators have every possible set that can be ported to them. So, if they got it ILL/ ont he last round, would you have complained onthe next round that DOM's got nothing?
Melee toons have gotten Street Justice and are getting Titan Weapons shortly and Staff Melee next year and some AT's have gotten several round of Proliferation.
Blasters got Dark Blast and Dark Manipulation as well as Beam Weapon.
Dominators havent gotten anything since Issue 18 and already lagged behind ALL other AT's with total number of choices in the first place.
This is why I hope Doms get something more. They have gotten less repeatedly over time than other AT's. I would like to see they get something that is unique to their AT. -
Quote:Im sorry is there a second set im not aware of that has been announced ??Originally Posted by BrandX
They're getting TWO new sets in i22 that are FREE to ViPs (no idea on Freebies and Premiums) and that's not enough? The other sets were proliferations.
And what do you do when another AT has run out of other power sets to be proliferated? Complain they didn't get a proliferated set when there's none ot be proliferated?
Not ot mention it seems to have some new graphics involved and not all are retreads of exsisting powers.
And the devs themselves said they have something SPECIAL planned for Dominators coming up but havent said what that something SPECIAL is yet...
For me Special doesnt imply getting something that everyone else has.. For me it implys something unigue and or different... maybe thats just me...
