Ever sence AE has come out, no one does regular missions, or TFs/SFs anymore, can't even get a team to do the new TF/SF that came out today!! The devs need to make a way that AE doesn't become the end of the rest of the game, because that is what is happening on victory atleast... everyone just sits on there butts in AE all day... granted I do missions in AE sometimes, but not ALL DAY!

Who here agrees with me?!

this idea is cool, I would support other "single enhancement IO sets" in the game as well.

I would keep them as an IO to preserve the risk vs rewards aspect of the game.

you sacrifice a slot to gain a little something extra outside your AT "focus". it won't hurt anyone's game because you choose if you want to slot it or not.

my other suggestion would be to not make it a rare drop. given the choice between permanently sacrificing a slot in a tight build, or just carrying extra wakies or whatever I feel that the low-ish number of people who would even want these would make them uncommon enough.

I'd give them the same drop rate as the temp power recipes. maybe even a little higher.

examples of special enhancement sets with only 1 enhancement in the set:


Unbroken Will : X% chance to rez, or 1 hour click etc. healing set.

Stalker's Gift: X% chance for hide
really low chance for hide proc. defense or melee set...maybe.
this one wouldn't be as good as a powerset stealth, or even the stealth pool, and it would fire off semi-randomly, or it could be a 1 hour click that lasts 5 mins.

Grim Determination: X% or X chance for mez resistance. hold or immobilise set. useful for controllers or defenders, or dominators, anyone who uses hold powers. like having a random breakfree applied. or a 1 hour click blah blah

Touch of the blaster: X% chance for defiance to proc when held. taunt set. brutes, tanks, scrappers, or stalkers, whoever has a taunt power to put this in, would have the chance to keep attacking even while held, just like the blaster defiance power.


these are just some ideas, probably stupid ones, but whatever.

/my 2 inf

Mage: The Ascension FTW! Catgirls FTL!

Server: Triumph mostly, and some others
Character Name: all characters have had it at least once
SG/VG Name: various
When do you crash: at loading screens, zoning, entering or leaving missions, occasionally while trying to log in a character, or going to the SG/VG base.
Does it affect all characters: yes, so far
Does it affect only characters in one or more SG's or VG's: no, it happens occasionally on every character at least once.

great idea, I love it.

I'd be interested in checking this out, as well. My current Claws/SR project just soft-capped his Melee Defense at Level 39 and I've been looking to get him into the ITF.

Question though, what's this TW people speak of? A channel on Triumph?

Anyway, I'm a 36 month vet that plays mostly Scrappers/Tanks with several 50s that could party down and a Level 41 Earth/Rad Controller that's a debuff machine.

I'm on most nights @ about 9EST after the kids are in bed so... Sounds attractive.

I apologise if I offended you in some way.

You didn't offend me, I just didn't see the sense in what you were saying.

[/ QUOTE ]

no problem. after re-reading my post and seeing what you were saying. I see how that was confusing.

I really just meant that buffers should be aware of those who have requested not to be buffed. I play several controllers/defenders as well, and like a poster above me mentioned, its a good idea to have a pen and paper to keep track of who doesn't want the buff.

it even makes my job easier sometimes, less people to buff= ready to go faster.

1. just because you have AM and speed boost, doesn't mean that I want AM or speed boost.

2. when your invitation to "omg gather for AM plz" is politely declined, it is bad form to call me an idiot. because then I'm less inclined to pull the mob that you aggro'ed off of you while you're screaming for heals.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait, so you assume no one wants AM and Speed Boost and should have to ask your permission to give them, but you turn right around and assume everyone wants your heals so bad they're screaming for them? What if someone said to you:

1. just because you have Healing Aura and heal other, doesn't mean that I want Healing Aura or heal other.

[/ QUOTE ]
Would you think they were an idiot? Seriously, it's only good sense to want powers that help you, and think teammates who refuse help and thus don't contribute as much to the team are doing something wrong. You don't want people to get killed by overaggro and not having your heals, they don't want you to heal too slow because your recharge and endurance aren't buffed.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear about the situation.
I wasn't playing a healer, I was on a /regen scrapper.
I already have enough trouble controlling the toon (he moves pretty fast with super speed as is) I had been buffed with SB a number of times already, and it was making things way out of wack for me. at the start of the next mission I moved up ahead of the group a bit, so I wouldn't be in immediate range, I then politely said in team chat "no SB for me thank you." at which point I was called an idiot.

later in the mission he decided to jump ahead and aggro a mob on his own, while myself, and the rest of the team were busy with another mob, so I let him hang himself. so that's why I added the part about screaming for heals, as a bit of humor.

I apologise if I offended you in some way.

p.s. there seems to be another rikti invasion going on.

here's one:

1. just because you have AM and speed boost, doesn't mean that I want AM or speed boost.

2. when your invitation to "omg gather for AM plz" is politely declined, it is bad form to call me an idiot. because then I'm less inclined to pull the mob that you aggro'ed off of you while you're screaming for heals.

3. if you happen to have a tank, but you decide that you want to run ahead and aggro anyway, do not blame the tank when you faceplant. that's just rude.

there is a lot of great info here, but I for one like looking at the builds as well, and I don't have mid's could you post the builds for this?

/signed...

I think all of my mains would benefit greatly from this.

it's a concept player/RPer's dream.
