I don't have any ideas for you but I'm looking forward to see the finished arc.

All of those problems are "solved" by the level-based continuity. Or mangled up even further. Business as usual, in other words.

Some other thoughts too:
2) What about the vision at the end of SSA 1? It talks about Positron looking grim shaking a ghostly woman's hand... At first we thought this was Numina, maybe its the deceased daughter of Statesman?
Lord Recluse 'goes away' when Statesman 'dies', leaving Arachnos in shambles. Ghost Widow picks up the reins.
Positron and Ghost Widow enter a non-aggression pact while everyone comes together to deal with extra-dimensional threats like first the Praetorians and then Rularuu.
I remember an old suggestion of mine which said that they should kill off Statesman and Lord Recluse and make the game story less about their vendetta and more about our characters. Seems like the devs do listen! -
I won! Woot! Time to update my signature.
If I may suggest something for next year, don't wait too long to put up the nomination thread. Start it as soon as possible and let people nominate all year long. -
Pick up Taunt?
If you don't need the pet, what's the problem?
It'll be there for you when you exemplar.
Get an appropriate and thematic Lore pet instead, they are a little tougher. You can call it an upgrade. -

She's talking about how weak the Mastermind AT (male or female) is when fighting alone. Seems like you knee-jerked all this extra stuff.

Okay, nobody else needs to make any new farms now.
Good job. -

Would the debuffs not knock you out of hide?
It would be possible to make it so the debuffs don't knock you out of hide, at least not right away. Maybe Hide would be a click power that lasts for 10-15 seconds no matter what you do, letting you set up debuffs and fire an AS before you are revealed. Maybe Hide is only broken by using a power in your primary or taking damage.
I know we want to avoid Stalker-debuffers that remain hidden and debuff perpetually with no risk. I have no immediate solution for this because I don't see a point in trying to fix a solution to a problem that doesn't exist for an AT that doesn't exist. I'm convinced that there would be a solution and that said solution might even bring about some interesting and fun gameplay mechanics. -
Quote:I decided that debuffs would be more useful for the purpose of weakening your target in preparation for an assassination, and to make the Stalker more desireable on a team.Originally Posted by SinisterDirge
Very interesting idea. What about instead of debuffs though, make the AT a melee blaster for real and have the secondary a mix of ranged attacks and defensive powers.
The game already has melee blasters. They are called Blasters. -
I like Redlynne's idea for "critical placate".
I would scrap the AT entirely and replace it with a melee/support AT with similar mechanics; hide, AS and placate remain, but the secondary would be a new kind of powerset that merged defenses and debuffs, similar to how Dominator Assault powersets merge melee and ranged attacks.
Hide would be an inherent.
The secondaries that immediately come to mind are:
Dark Miasma/Armor
Poison/Regeneration
Storm/Electric Armor
Radiation/Energy Aura
Kinetics/Super Reflexes
Pain/Willpower (with fewer heals and more debuffs) -
Maybe one day that trial will be available in the LFG queue...

Not to mention, WHY does it have a range of 120 ft and a 120 degree arc?? Cyro has 120 ft range, and a 40? degree arc. Surely it is on or the other. If vorpal has such a massive arc, the range should be less.

definitely! We have a few modern 'base coat' textures in the pipeline for exactly this reason.

Ok, so it's his last thought, not word. I guess I fail. -
Thanks for the review of Arena. I have nothing to add, just thought I'd say thanks.

The Ouroboros Chronicles: the Tales of Nemesis #522236 is working again, after the author fixed whatever it was that broke it. So I'm leaving my vote the way it was and hopefully Bubba can put it back on the list... unless it's been disqualified by now.

Quote:The original CEBR thread boasted single digit hours to 50, if I'm not mistaken. And you could bring other people along for the ride too.Originally Posted by Thorizdin_LotD
It really only affects people who wanted to self PL a /FA or /Elec brute which NEVER resulted in going 1-50 in several hours.

Should I change my vote?

Quote:But you don't know if it's ignored.Originally Posted by Xanatos
I dunno. A 170+ stickied post that's ignored by the devs?
False hope is bad.
False hope? I don't even know what that means. Hope is eternal. -
Quote:Of course not. But I accept it as either the rules of the game or the facts of the game industry. We're not gonna get everything we want.Originally Posted by Xanatos
So you agree with everything the devs do?
No, but new maps and (most) npcs don't let people PL from 1-50 in a couple of hours.Quote:So you agree with them not giving us all of the NPCs/Maps/etc in the game?
No, but the ratings system doesn't let people PL from 1-50 in a couple of hours.Quote:So you agree with the current rating system?
No, but the search tool doesn't let people PL from 1-50 in a couple of hours.Quote:So you agree with the current AE search tool?

The devs simply (and unsurprisingly) screwed up and overreached.

Quote:Most normal missions don't have doors 5 seconds away from an inspiration vendor. But you are right, they should probably make it so all missions strip buffs at the door, if it's not like that already. That would be fair.Originally Posted by darksilver_NA
Well as I posted on the beta forums I have no problem with this but IMHO this new "rule" should effect everything including normal missions not only AE.

Quote:Doesn't work for me either. Bah.Originally Posted by PoliceWoman
FYI - I can't seem to get The Ouroboros Chronicles: the Tales of Nemesis (#522236) to load for me. Anyone else have this problem? It might've been broken by a recent patch.

How about you don't tell me "when I should be" using inspirations?

Quote:It also happens when you exit the hospital in iTrials so it's not that specific.Originally Posted by Garielle
Assuming that by "normal missions", you mean normal contacts, outside of MA, you still CAN do it on normal missions. The change was specific to MA.
Clearly the devs want the inspiration tray size to mean something.
This change is good.
