Kitsune Knight

I would consider 'being able to take a few steps' as a fundamental aspect of a character. It's not like this is a power that doesn't give you EVERY opportunity to avoid.

The problem with much of this game is you can just stand there and slug it out until the enemy eventually just falls over, without much of any concern for your environment. The adds in the BAF help some, as does Nova Fist and other mechanics- you actually gotta pay a bit of attention (unlike what I do in many parts of the game, where I alt tab out while powers are animating! why do you think my post count is so high? )

Just to elaborate on that: They were given an even lower damage scale than Tankers, along with the highest damage cap (note: damage cap is not directly comparable between ATs!) due to the Fury mechanic. They were intended to raise their damage from even worse than Tankers to somewhere around that of Scrappers, long as they were able to maintain high levels of Fury.

The somewhat recent change to Fury lowered the cap, in exchange for making it easier to maintain the Fury levels.

The entire concept of a 'survive anything' seems to be the issue here. You shouldn't be able to survive anything in this game, because that defeats the entire point of everything in it. Extremely survivable? Sure. Infinitely survivable? No.

If you can survive anything (not by skill or player ability, but via just doing the bare minimum standing there), you're definitely too powerful.

Or, you could deal with many of those via tactics! Nova Fist you can easily deal with, same for the energy siphon and sequestering (sequestering is the easiest to overlook, IMO with all the animations I never noticed any warnings or even the circles).

Back in the STF, the Devs had already tried to do a similar thing, with Ghost Widow's mag 100 hold... (un)fortunately, they seemed to have underestimated the playerbase's ability to stack mez protection, as well as come up with other tricks (hence why sequestering is 50x as potent!).

Still can't comment on Keyes, no one runs it on Freedom and that's the only place I have 50s atm, even though it's far from the only server I play on (people form MoKeyes all the time on Virtue it would appear- I see it being broadcast in global as much as if not more than the other iTrials there!).

Any power that gives you a big flashing WARNING!!!!!! on your screen and many seconds to avoid it... I'd say sacrifices enough to enable it to do exceptional things. It adds a bit of spice to the boring old AV mix.

Obviously you've never been to Protector... Only one person on Villains at any given time!

Unfortunately, due to this being a super hero game, such a thing can and will never happen. A fundamental aspect of the super hero genre is super unrealistic breasts that defy gravity.

First is the worst

That sound you hear high in the sky...

It's just a small patch/update to the code.

Why on earth would you think they downgraded the servers? It's not like they could sell their current ones for any large sum of money... so 'downgrading' would result in losing money more likely than not! And, you really don't want to cut your capacity when you're expecting likely the largest sudden influx of players since the launch of the game!

Of course they can be! Look, I just did so right here!:

That's... often not a good idea. That can have quite the negative impact on many programs, and it'll break audio on devices with a fairly common audio chip. You shouldn't mess with those unless you know what you're messing with!

Unless the 'exploit' was a 'crash the server cluster' kind, probably not. And, for that, I'd imagine we'd not have 5 minutes (I kinda recall ones in the past where someone found some nasty bug and we didn't even get the 5 minute warning because it spread like wild fire).

The truth is that you guys were messing around with some nerf guns and someone had the bright idea of hiding in the server room, didn't they?
