    /devices has problems, providing a crazy boost that doesn't address existing problems but completely changes how you play the set ? Somehow I don't think that will work.
    Yeah, testing is needed, no doubt. We already know that something will be done to Time Bomb so let's just be patient - no reason to take the Targetting Drone benefit away or water it down so other sets can do the same thing though.
  2. Honestly, I hope it doesn't change, because we all know Devices needed a good swift kick in popularity to get anywhere near the top sets.
  3. I agree with much of what has already been said, but MA was always kinda 'meh' for me. I am kinda surprised how little attention Dual Blades has gotten. That is a beautiful set - some dislike Thousand Cuts but it's about personal taste.
  4. I thought it was a good time to post this video, since the sting of power creep is always hovering over incarnate abilities - but so far so good - they've continuously given us additional encounters that test us. My main issue has been with 'cheap' ai tools that cause threat, like auto-hit powers or regular unavoidable damage ticks that let them get away with (in all honesty) 1 shot deaths even though there is code to prevent an actual 1 hit death.
  5. Actually that brings up another point. Once we get to Omega, do we want to simplify the path to tier 4 all of those - or is it better to always have a goal that is far out of reach, for those that want to invest the time with their character?
  6. No prob - these guys make great game discussion videos regularly.
  7. Just interesting

    We all know what this is already, but it's still a good topic that can be discussed in CoH. This term has been brought up regarding incarnate abilities, and I'm sure Synapse and Hawk are well aware of this careful balance requirement.

    Are you kidding? I think you need to brush up on your memes.

    Everything in the videos are at the default settings.

    Ah yes, I hope this gets fixed down the line, because that's ridiculous for Masterminds. For a two min boost, you want us to resummon and retrain everything? um... no.

    So pets can take advantage of Control Radial's control abilities for about a minute and a half, at a diminished level? We need to have the numbers for this stuff - this is rather disappointing.

    Bio Armor video

    Yeah they hit it with a huge nerf - but they listen to feedback.

    Hybrid and Pets

    I'm still a little confused on what Hybrid powers benefit pets.

    Support is obvious, but what about Control Radial? I assume Assault does nothing - or does it only grant the auto power when it isn't toggled? etc etc etc

    any help please?

    EDIT: also, does the auto power for Support affect pets also - granting resist (not protection) to mez?
  14. Different strokes, they say.
  15. I just want this to happen.

    Anyone else agree?

  16. I think they meant visually busy, not mechanically.

    Bio Armor video

    Hey no problem - I try to make new videos regularly. There are several changes coming to both Bio Armor and Nature Affinity that haven't hit the server yet.

    Bio Armor video

    Yeah I made sure to show and also explain that the graphics can be minimalized in both videos.
  19. This just indicates that the mission isn't intuitive really.

  21. Heh, yeah, that's the one. Man, last video he uploaded was 5 years ago.

    Honey Badger is aware of the requests to tone down some of the visuals, but there has been no official word of any changes yet.
  23. Sorry, I will probably call anything that isn't smashing/lethal exotic regardless.
