Quote:Air control received the least amount of cheers among the sets- not saying it is not wanted, but from chat and live audience rad armor was the most wanted.Originally Posted by Snowzone
I find it annoying that interesting Control sets were argued, then someone comes along for a Radiation set, says "It's Radiation..." and that's picked.
Edit: and at least rad melee didn't win out...because we have plenty of existing melee powersets...and one on the way. -
Quote:Well you couldn't have been more wrong...there was no number crunching. Discussed was what the powers would do...their names etc.. There are some neat ideas thrown out for rad armor. The rez/no rez power sounds cool - can be used as a nuke type power if you are alive...think rise of The phoenix...when you are alive without KB.Originally Posted by Shadowblaze
Bleh, Radiation Armor. I turned the Ustream off as soon as that was picked. I'll tune back in for the Costume workshop, but making an armor set has to the most boring panel ever. Like 7 of the powers of any armor set are thematically the same. Hope they still end up trying throwing weapons, that would've been a much better set to do a panel on. Don't get me wrong, armor sets are fine, but there's really not much to discuss about em except for number tweaks. Hope the costume workshop doesn't disappoint as well...

Quote:yeah and i got auto kicked from the frickin ustream chat...sent too many message sin one min..can't get back into it lol.Originally Posted by Agent White
Radiation Armor won the 'create a powerset' spot.
I loathe ustream btw -
Feeling a lil bleh about this Plumitt---no new news or really in depth info on anything.
Watched entire morning on ustream; feeling quite underwhelmed.
I23= New trial, Hybrid, some costumes, but no new power sets.
I24=Powers and some base love
Will watch the Powers panel and see if anything interesting is revealed. No mention of Sorcery Power Pool, Psi Melee, or "Feral" AT yet. They did discuss Water Blast, Nature Affinity, and Symbiotic Armor, but no details given on them. -
Quote:Not to nit pick, but RV is not a red side zone...it is a pvp zone. Even on Freedom RV is relatively slow...because there is not a large pvp population compared to pve.Originally Posted by deadpool415
We seriously need red side to have a come back I miss when Recluses Victory seemed alive (I play on Justice by the way). I understand that blue has always been more active, but compared to blue you never see a red hami raid or really any strike forces.
I can't offer much advice for your server or for Red Side for that matter... aside from the whole global chan etc etc. -
Gonna have to agree with Arcanaville on this one.
Is staff the best DPS set out there - nah. Is it the worst - nah. But you know what...it is a lot of fun and I have had no troubles/qualms with my staff/nrg scrap. I say ... Screw the numbers and play what makes ya feel good
-
I wish they would get rid of all the AE building and make a small AE zone ... a hazard zone that requires you to be level 10 to get into
-
I absolutely love my Staff/NrG Scrap - imo a defense set is better in pve than resistance set.
-
What I find silly is that when I use my self heal on my staff toon (staff/nrg scrapper)----I put my staff away
-
I would like to see Eden become a Co-op zone. It is in a level range before DA and the itrials so it would get people into more co-op tasks together.
Maybe they could create a co-op tf or trial that is 8-12 people? I wouldn't want it to be a large trial (12 max imo).
I think Bricks getting a revamp would be awesome as well; especially if the Zig was made to be more useful/interactive.
As far as villain zones go ----- I the only reason I go redside is for badges/patrons

At this point, with the myriad other QOL and game improvements our Engineers are working on, and the amount of work it would take, I'd say it would rest relatively low on the priority scale.
Is it possible? Sure, all things are, within reason. Is it probable in the immediate future. Most likely not.
SG rename tokens go live with Issue 23!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT!

Can't think of anything minor that would force me to quit - I mean there are already minor things I don't like about the game....

Quote:And you forget - Issue 12 pvp is gone because MANY of the pvp "community" (which was much larger back then) asked for changes due to it being severely unbalanced. Bringing back Issue 12 pvp does not solve the problem.Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
It's okay because I would.
Support had a role in PVP once upon a time *cries*. Reverting Castle's changes can be done with one Issue. It's not difficult or time consuming.
Pvp is not on their list of "to do's" for many reasons; budget being the biggest reason. There is no magical button to revert the mechanics to issue 12 and even if there were - that will not solve the issue of how borked pvp was back then.
3.5 years later - you would think that people would learn by now that it (Issue 12 pvp) is not coming back and that no major changes to pvp are on the devs list of priority issues.
Instead of asking for changes after Issue 13 - I learned to adapt to the new mechanics, kinda like the Chinese proverb says:
The wise adapt themselves to circumstances, as water moulds itself to the pitcher -
Quote:The time/cost of revamping pvp even under the hybrid model is still not feasible financially.Originally Posted by Gemini_2099
Actually the Freedom model allows them to do more unlike the old sub model.

Quote:I quoted this and addressed it in my very first part of my reply...stating the developers do not understand how pvp works is imo fallacious at best. My point was they understand the mechanics of pvp, but there is no financial reason for them to re-visit pvp in this game on a large scale.Originally Posted by Xanatos
Because the game developers don't understand how PVP works in a MMORPG.
They are more than welcome to prove me wrong -

Well I have been trying to get this with a friend - we have made several attempts together. Originally he was going to be able to do this but some IRL stuff came up...so he won't. Gonna hold off on doing it since he and I have been trying to do this badge together for a few weeks lol.
Good Luck to you guys though!! -
Quote:Sit in the closet??? Uhmmm ok. Hate to break it to you but Staff's damage output is on average with other melee sets. I had no problems soloing pre-50 or post-50. My Staff/NrG scrap does enough damage for me and every team I have ever been on... hate to say it but maybe you should...Originally Posted by Hell Razer
Staff fighting is a great concept and fun to play, or it was til I realized the dmg output just isn't there. Staff fighting is a melee set and therefore should have an above average damage output. It doesn't, it's average at best. Such a disappointment making it another set to sit in the closet along side the Beast MM, again a great concept and fun to play but the damage just isn't there.

Yeah, because being perma-mezzed is SO much fun for the poor sod on the other side.
And it's not like Controllers and Dom's could even mez a Tank through all their shields, Nope....oh, wait, yes they could. And THAT sucked.
Pre-I13 wasn't this Golden Age that people seem to make it out to be. It didn't have the problems of Post 13 PvP, but it did have it's own batch of suck.
People tend to forget that the changes to pvp came about because MANY changes were asked for due to all the flaws with pre Issue 13 pvp. PVP has never been flawless in this game; and the pre i13 pvp is unduly glorified by some as a better form of pvp when truth be told...pvp has always been meh at best in this game. You would think after 3.5 years after the mechanic changes that people would have adapted already, but there are still a few people who just seem unable to adapt. -
Quote:Yes... I reported it on titan Forums they are aware that Sentinel s not exporting any powersets correctly that were released after Issue21.Originally Posted by Blue Rabbit
Thanks guys! ^_^
When exporting from within game (via Titan Sentinel) the Staff Fighting powers weren't exported, only the secondary and pool powers. Guess it's a bug? -
Quote:So basically you want to make a wp brute have a damage aura so it can farm faster?Originally Posted by hidbyflames
Any one else think it would be cool slot to get a damage aura for the sets that dont have one my ss/wp brute would bve awesome with a toggle damage aura anyone else think this is a great idea just asking or even a double damage aura if you have one already.

Quote:If this were ever implemented I am sure it would be 1 person every 15 seconds - I fail to see how adding a functionality like this would lend itself to allowing people to send mass emails....it's simply a QOL issue at filling in the ONE name for the email.Originally Posted by WanderingAries
And give us the ability to send group emails while we're at it without triggering the spam message.

Quote:Yeah a system like that would not encourage me to pvp....just saying.Originally Posted by Ironik
I know how to fix it and I've been saying it ever since PvP was first mentioned: everyone has to be equal. Full stop.
Anyone who's played an FPS knows that's the only way to truly have workable PvP. Even in games like Team Fortress 2 where you have classes, each class has one specific advantage and one specific detriment to balance things out. And then you have equal teams. When they become imbalanced, there's a feature that switches a player to the opposite side to even things out again. Everyone has to be equal individually and each team has to be equal.
Problem is, almost no one wants that to happen in this game. People would have a fit if a Stalker and Tank had equal hit points and did equal damage, and people would further lament over their hero being forced to switch to villain and vice versa. I would happily play that way, but I doubt many others would.
All of which is why I say PvP doesn't fit MMOs unless the game was designed for it from Day One. -
And this couldn't have been said (again) in the other two pvp threads in this section?
You know what would get me to pvp?? A new feature... since I haven't stated it in the other threads------
If you or your teammates kill someone within 5 minutes of the last kill of that person your regen gets severely debuffed for 5 mins and you receive -10 rep. There needs to be a consequence for the ganking the same person over and over and over...maybe that would help with the griefing by people/teams on one person. Sitting here I am chuckling thinking... Person A's team kills Person B... Person A's team immediately does it again when Person B comes out of hosp... when Person B comes back out of hosp.. Person A's team is so severely debuffed that Person B whoops all their a$$es And if Person B doesn't get a chance to...the other players in the zone will
You see I can ignore the asinine comments of some of the vocal pvp kiddies...it's their actions that drive me away.
