I know this. What am I supposed to do here? Agree with the apparent majority, declare that it sucks and change it? *shrugs* A pity I'm so contrary.

As I previously stated, I have a lot of AoE on the character. The Cog confuse goes off a lot. I've kept secondary mobs well-confused while spamming Seeds on my primary targets. I don't rely on it to make mobs attack each other, though that happens despite the short duration. It works just fine as additional mitigation, which is all I really use Seeds for, anyway. Certainly works better in that regard than, say, Spectral, which I use on another character. All that does cc-wise is immobilize.

I'm hardly advocating that everyone chage to Cognitive on the spot. I only use it on one character. Other people have speculated here that a very AoE heavy toon might get decent mileage out of it. I'm simply verifying that they can.

Edit: as a side note, no, Spectral is not purple-anything. It's gold and black. Very boring, like all the Interface effects, imo.

Would like to see ALL the war maces ported to Bane Spider Soldier and Mace Mastery sets. Some might need to be resized slightly to be practical.

Not really sure why I bothered to come back here, since I have my doubts that this gets perused by anyone who could actually implement the requests here. At least most of mine don't involve entirely new art.

*shrugs* Ice powers and dedicated fire extinguishers WOULD probably be better for putting out fires than simple water. Not so much a big spike of ice, but fires are extinguished by lowering the temperature, displacing oxygen or both. Water is simply not as good as extreme cold for the first, and not as good as something like halon at the second.

I get pretty phenomenal amounts of enemy chaos from it, but my plant/thorn/fire dom is extremely AoE heavy, and backed up by Seeds. Still, it's easy enough to see the different confuses; one's purple and the other's yellow. But yes, I see it fire a lot, and with reinforcement via multiple AoE attacks, it works quite well. Is especially amusing seeing stacked thorntrops and RoF cause absolute chaos.

Was great fun meeting both of you, and of course many others who were there. Some I remembered from either/both HeroCons, others I'd presumably met before, but had forgotten meeting in the intervening 2+ years.

Quit trying to stifle my amusement with reason, Rangle. Meanie.

I have watched this thread become as entertaining as the debate over which would win in a battle between a Star Destroyer and the starship Enterprise... in my universe where "entertaining" and "stupid" are often synonymous.

The front portal torches have always been incorrectly aligned to the portal (bug). The back left portal's torches are the only ones in a straight line (correct choice).

A couple of things were mentioned at the Player Summit, though I forget which specific panel (I went to all of them).

1) As a general rule, they have in the past tried to add new maps and powersets to the AE on the issue following the one for which they were released. In other words, a powerset released for i23 would arrive in the AE for i24.

2) They are aware that they are behind in this regard, and are dedicating what resources they can to getting a bit more caught up. Their development schedule is currently very heavy, so they can't make specific promises, but they're doing what they can, when they can.

Ah, cool. Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, not having used that particular slash command, I can't confidently experiment with it to hazard a decent guess what's up with it at the moment.

Hmmm, the only command of that kind that I use is /macro "name" function, for example /macro "dnc4" e dance4, which creates a button in my power tray named dnc that will cause the character to start dance emote #4. It can be dragged normally to any tray slot.

Does the one you've described do something different?

I've had Nemesis Staff "parked" on Justice ever since Staff Fighting was "leaked" months ago. Re-rolled him as soon as I realized the set was live, at about 1am PDT Tuesday morning.

Honestly, hard to say. You're not impersonating a specific person, at Paragon Studios or anywhere else, any more than you would be if you used the name "Temporary Staff". It's a fun pun because it suggests some work-a-day schmoe at an office, but it certainly doesn't imply any specific venue. I can really only see some shuffling busybody having a problem with it.

Unfortunately, they're usually the ones running things.

Edit: Oh, and as a semantic point, before some chittering know-it-all inevitably comes along and points this out in the snarkiest manner possible... you don't actually "own" the name. I'm not sure what the correct term would be, but NCSoft essentially "owns" everything that happens on the game servers.
