So they finally deal with the pool of uninteresting but overpowered powers, and you want them to add another pool of uninteresting but overpowered powers?

doing nothing but hit them with their attacks, plus the "actual soloer", the MM would come out on top. Or if you had a duo of a Tanker doing nothing but taunting, plus the "actual soloer", the MM would come out on top. -

But then they can't get a sewer farm, I mean team.
Even more so if they whine about how NEW PLAYERS should join a sewer team. -
So they DO work at any level like purples? Every PVP IO?
-
The new fly speed is a huge boost to fun.
Why not leave it as is and simply raise the cap slightly so that a single SO benefits it?
Will any of this involve hover? -
Wow, nice.
This will make it about 5 times faster to marketeer too. -
Tanks gain as much as anybody else, offensively, proportionally, from sets, due to recharge. Though they are probably the next least AT in that department, since everybody else gains enough defense to perform qualitatively more aggressive techniques.

Quote:You mean like each of the buff ATs, including Defenders, can?Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
Well, when Scrappers start being able to solo Giant Monsters like MMs can
When MMs are the easiest farming AT like Scrappers (or Fire Kins, or whatever), that sort of argument would make sense. GMs are cool but they are a novelty, not much of an advantage.
They can use sets to benefit their secondary and tank, but I think it's fair to say no AT gains less from sets. That's OK because they probably are the best with just an SO build. At the peak or even a relatively expensive but not peak build, Scrappers and Brutes get crazy, while most of the rest of the ATs catch up to each other.
And honestly the only factor in GM soloing that counts out Scrappers is a single power type, the regen debuff. If you had a duo of a buffer doing nothing but hit them with howling twilight, plus the actual 'soloer,' the Scrapper would probably be the most effective AT to do everything else. -
That's actually why I mentioned it... they were another example of a similar technique, but...
The most popular titles did it less. Pac-Man got stupidly hard at the highest levels, but didn't use anything that was an obvious ploy to artifically take quarters. In the better games you would not be charged if you didn't lose. Naturally, the diffuculty could be high, but that enhanced the experience to go with its economic motives. It wasn't blatantly just a way to #$%^ the customer. And at least most arcade games did not include huge expanses of nothing just so you would have to pay more. -
Pretty good, especially the leaves aura and cape. I would like to hear the price. There's merit to having micro packs that are smaller than super boosters, if they cost less than the super boosters.

Absolutely! "Go rescue that guy on the train!"
Fight the mob through from car to car, through war walls and tunnels and then across city zones and then finally fight the boss on the train roof as Paragon City whizs by!
A more resource efficient way to do it might be a subway rather than riding through zones. -
Does the bonus exemp to any level like a purple?

Quote:'Everybody was doing it' just makes it even less justifiable. It's baffling to me that so many horrible game design concepts are standard procedure to MMOs. Arcades, consoles, and even non-MMO PC games evolved much faster and even at their start a game that did half as many stupid things as MMOs do would have been a massive bomb.Originally Posted by Megajoule
Much of that "useless, senseless travel" is a relic of MMO game design circa 2004, when everyone - even WoW - was doing it. Some of it was to add to sense of world, but yes, a lot of it was to stretch out playtime.
The average MMO is essentially the multiplayer equivalent of Atari's ET, right down to the use of randomness rather than gameplay. -
Quote:I send the builds folder to the mids directory rather than My DocumentsOriginally Posted by ChaosExMachina
Persistent glitch that has been in every version I've tried: it likes to reset your save folder to my documents rather than wherever I set it to.
Set that to the default location in settings
Starting the program will randomly DELETE the builds folder and create it again in My Documents! -

Ok, all you people who are blathering on about how "soft" we are on crime...exactly what color is the sky in the world where you live? Because in the United States, the rate of violent crime has decreased over the last 20 years and now stands about where it was in the early 1970s, and the decline is continuing. The same holds true for non-violent crimes.
If we're soooo damned soft on crime, why does the US have the highest incarceration rate in the world? According to the linked article, the US has only 5% of the world's population, but almost 25% of the world's prisoners. Yeah, that's REAL soft on crime.

There are some parts of the world where drinking alcohol is a crime. I enjoy a beer or 2 every now and then. What do I do when the "superhero" from a "dry" country shows up and demands I stop drinking...or else? Hell, there are places where **** victims are stoned to death, for being "adulterers" for "letting" themselves get *****. Thank $deity that a Somalian "superhero" can now kill...er, I mean "bring justice to"...**** victims...er, I mean "adulterous criminals"...around the world.
Hooray for juvenile revenge fantasies masquerading as strong moral convictions and being "tough on crime".

Didn't they have a detective system in testing for a while that could be modified for this purpose?

The hero power is better than the villain power unless you are a dom or MAYBE a brute.

Quote:Would like to link that topic I posted just before I12 where I suggested storm summoning.
You realize that much of the player base argued MMs would never get a worthwhile AoE heal because it would be broken, and that's why /Dark's AoE has such a small radius?
Among the responses were a bunch of posts about how stupidly overpowered it was, an accusation I was trolling, and speculation that some bot must be spamming the board with nonsense. -
There is no point to the APPs whatsoever. Unless you really want 2 tier 1 blasts.

Epics: 8
Pools: 7
Epic ATs: 1 -

-Ninja Run, Self Destruct, Mystic Fortune and Secondary mutation are all highly amusing novelty powers, but that's what they are, novelties. They are the kind of thing that should be in a booster pack.
But...
- Changing height at the tailor, a feature almost everyone had been asking for since forever, should NOT have been sold in a booster pack.
-Open Present, an emote that has been in the game for years and was already animated and done, should NOT have been sold in a booster pack.
-The various sports and dance emotes of the Party Pack, ones Positron himself identified months ago as being part of Going Rogue and were part of the Going Rogue beta until they were pulled at the last minute, should NOT have been sold in a booster pack.
-Any of the repurposed enemy group costume parts David and the art guys are working to adapt to players(but really should always have been available to begin with), should NOT be sold in a booster pack.
Aditionally:
-Any feature sold in a booster pack, after a 12 month period of exclusivity, should also be able to be earned/unlocked in-game via Hero/Villain/Reward Merits.
-Really, that should apply to some Vet Rewards too at this point.
.
Ninja Run is not a novelty.
The dance pack is sort of questionable, see Lemur's post.
The 12 month exclusivity is a bad idea for both players and profits. Lowering price maybe. There should be some veteran catchup system of some kind, with new people being confronted with up to 6 years of rewards they can probably never achieve, but that is an extra bonus, not something that people pay for specifically. -
Of those only bases are expansion worthy. That would be a cool expansion, some massive base upgrade that turns bases into content hubs with PVP and PVE quests plus personal bases too.

You can be moral without being soft. To me it is the people who lack the moral fortitude to do what is right and most often needed who look the other way and allow and allow society to degenerate as it has.
And why are the kill everybody posts immediately assuming that the powers would involve the ability to kill everybody?
