I love Dual Blades and BS with the changes.
So. much. burst.
I am brainstorming some attack chains for both. But yes attack vitals is pretty much to be ignored with the new in combat assassin strike. Sweep is pure win for dual blades that now it can be used in combat! What joy! -
Quote:More specifically, they didn't want to take coding/development time away from future issue designs in order to write up a UI for this- it's nowhere as easy as you think. Null the Gull was a quick and dirty solution to what had been a balloning issue among the playerbase.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
As far as I know, it is a quicker way to get features/options to us because they don't have to code and implement the UI that would be necessary otherwise.

Quote:Jib, Ablating can take Defense Debuff and Accurate Def Debuff sets. Right now I have mine slotted with the Achille's Proc and 2 Analyze Weakness (to get the +10% Regen)Originally Posted by Jibikao
By using Ablating strike, you can trigger procs even outside of Sweeping Combo. I've tested this many times. I am sure it's a bug that they can't fix because Ablating is tagged as a pbaoe attack or something like that. One portion of it is suppressed so when using outside of sweeping combo, you only hit one target but the procs are trigged to PBAOE.
And the last time I checked, Stalker's Ablating cannot take -Defense set. Scrapper/Brute's can. Have they changed this recently? I forgot to check it when I was playing around with my old db build. I don't have my computer with me so I can't check it until next week.
The first time I tested Ablating, I was using chance for knock down. It works. A few days ago I was using chance for lethal damage from Mako set and it happens in pbaoe fashion. :P
Ablating just makes you not want to cycle Attack Vital combo which ties to two of the worst dpa attacks. -

This issue looks great! I'm particularly looking forward to the new 5th arcs.

Quote:Arbiter Hawk posted more Tweaks probably after the preview was designed- here's a summary:Originally Posted by DarkSideLeague
I certainly hope we're getting some other adjustments to the set - I'm this close to deleting my Grav/Psi, and he did NOT need more damage.
1) Propel animates Faster
2) New Mechanic where anything hit by Grav's hold or immob powers means Lift and Propel do more damage.
3) Dimension Shift is changing to a Targetted AoE Toggle with a 20 foot radius that can be set in Mid-air and anything running into the patch is Immob and Phased.
4) Agro component of Wormhole being Removed, so as long as they don't see you you can hit them with WH and they won't agro halfway through your animation. -

Quote:Mainly because the zone is becoming lvl 50 only- they don't want lowbies thinking they can get in...Originally Posted by StormSurvivor
Seems like a nice issue! But one thing that niggles at my head is:
Assuming Peregrine Island isn't an additional entrance, why can't we use the hazard gate anymore? I mean, I'm sure in-game it's covered by a spooky rocky spike thing, but design-wise. Isn't their point to restrict access to dangeous places? We can even get into Eden through one if we pull in our tummy.

Definitely Time to pull out the old Split Second quote-
"We need bigger Guns.... BIG BIG F@#$%ING GUNS!" -

Seriously . . . . i want beta tonight
By friday at the latest! -
I do NOT want to bash PvPers in any way (other than good-natured ribbing we all get) however, This is still a primarily PvE Game, even more so in the Freedom era. And when a Set like Grav has a power that is almost universally skipped, PvE play has to come first.
I can't remember when is was said (maybe at the summit or a coffe chat) but the current Devs have stated that they know PvP is really busted in it's current state but they want to address it as a complete revamp and not just patch up it's current state. Therefore it becomes a question of resourses, and Freedom made them even more tight, so the PvP community may need to (unfortunately) learn to adapt till that time comes.
As for the changes? Yes- my first thoughts were as Hawk pointed out, denial of doorways etc. To use my previous example, an ITF. The First mission, the ambushes at the Oracle come primarily from one direction.. they can now be stopped to allow the team to try and complete the mission without getting wiped. Same goes for the Clyclops/Minotaur ambushes in the 2nd mission. Anothere idea I had was the Hero Respecs.. Dropping DS Right AT the reactor for the last few waves... -

You know it'll be on VIP beta VERY soon right?
[Still guessing this week or next at latest! Hey we were told January it'ld be!]

As cool as David is to listen to and As much as I like the Retro Sci Fi pack (I'm guessing thats one of the 2 costume sets) What we really want is more Issue 22 news!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell.. Is there power Proliferation, any QoL updates, SOMETHING!

Quote:Crap... this new Copy Tool seems to break more than they old one- and for longer periods too...Originally Posted by Texas Justice
Good luck with that. The Character Copy Tool is reported to be broken again.
The OCR team has been notified and I suspect they have notified the group that works on the Copy Tool but we've not gotten any updates about it. -
Could this possibly mean that I22 Beta is not far away- as in this week later.....?
(crosses fingers and makes note to finish transferring all his 50s to beta) -
Great Googly Moogly is this a GREAT CHANGE!! Simply removing the agro from Wormhole kicks to an MUST HAVE control- and a damn good one!
I also like the change to Dimension shift... I can see several uses for a TAoE Immob/phase, 2 off the top of my head is in the ITF- the Ambushes at the Oracle and Valley of Ambushes/Lag in mission 3... -
Not so much HD, but I'd settle for a Remastered REASONABLY priced re-release of Star Blazers: Quest For Iscandar, The Comet Empire and The Bolar Wars.
Beyond Anime? My wants are a lil eccentric, The Mask Animated Series, a COMPLETE Darkwing Duck release and a Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys Release. -
It all depends if Ninjitsu is ported or not- If it is, then Staff/Nin hands down. If not.. MAYBE a Staff/Inv.. the robot Staffer Z showed on the Ustream a couple weeks ago gave me the seed of an idea.
-
I'm kinda hoping I22 Ports Ice to Scrappers as well, since we all know that's the only way sets ever get looked at.. and that can only benefit Stalkers

That pompous idiot gets to live for another 2 weeks?? Damn... was soo looking forward to ringing in 2012 with beating his face in...

Not that I particularly care whether people have the wrong impression about the virtues of a fictional character, but she "had a hissy fit" at Manticore because her mother had just been murdered right in front of him, for all she knew without him trying to stop it. Come to think of it, what exactly was he doing to stop it? His transparent desire to assassinate their prisoner does not seem to conform to the usual definition of "helping," either.
It is Vanguard's opinion that Longbow is trying to subvert them, but then again the way we learn this is in discovering a rogue cell within Vanguard that is trying to destroy the universe. Doesn't seem to me that even if Ms. Liberty were involved that she would be such a horrible "mean girl" on this one.
Invading the rogue isles is objectionable in much the same way any international police action against a despotic regime would be, I suppose.
Actually if I remember the arc correctly, even AFTER Longbow is informed that it appears to be a rogue cell operating (Through Lt. Seku (sp?) teaming with you), blondie still demands that Vanguard step down and Longbow Step in and control the RWZ. Why? Because from the start Ms. Liberty believed that it should be her and NOT the international community (IE Vanguard) that should contain the Rikti, simply because she can do it better in her mind.
That's not TOO arrogant and self-important is it? Noooo. Her idea of Justice is repeatedly appearing to be "Just shut up and Do as I say because I'M the hero and you're NOT". That is borderline Despotism IMHO. -
RI is consider a sovereign country according to the lore of the game, or it was the last time I checked (might have been retconned who knows- at the very least it is recognized by the UN). Is it run by a supervillain organization.. yes, but it's still not US soil, hence Longbow has no legal right to set foot on it, especially to conduct military raids like the one that occurred at CoV launch. (Look at Wyvern.. they are considered borderline, and Longbow exhibits the same attitude)
It is the same as the Avengers launching a raid into Latveria. They would LOVE too, everyone knows Doom is up to no good.. but they have to abide by the same laws they claim to uphold- something Ms. Liberty plainly chaffs against. Hence why she would be better off as a full Vigillante. -
Quote:She's never been held accountable for the BLATANT illegal invasion of the Rogue Isles by her Longbow mercenaries.Originally Posted by BrandX
What laws is she breaking exactly?
Also, her attempted "take-over" of Vanguard duties in the RWZ. Considering Vanguard is sanctioned by the UN and as far as I know Longbow is NOT- in the eyes of international law she and LB aren't that different from Arachnos. -
Personally I'm hoping Ms. Liberty finally goes off the rails and goes true Vigillante- she's teteering over the edge now. Have her removed as the Atlas Trainer, and set up BaB as the Trainer and the STF contact.
(Then add some hero Tip missions so I can hunt her holier-than-thou arrogant law-breaking *** down and toss her in the Zig! )
