Yes

Can someone please list what exactly they want 'represented'?

When you step into a zone, arena, or participate in a raid, what are you actually 'representing' that would be notably different from another player?

I vote open up the forums to us, dont gives us the ability to post in them but let us read them. This way we can see where the PvPEC is going and have a true view of what this official committee is doing. There is no need to be super secretive unless you feel you are doing something the community doesnt like and just want to hide it.

If you've ever recieved a gift before, consider the purpose of it being a secret-- it is not because the person feels you may not like it, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered in the first place.


The committee is simply organizing a big event for other players to enjoy...thats it. You eluded to the point of age in your post, and with it comes patience. That is all anyone is asking, and if excercised will reap its reward. In the meantime...

There is currently no information being fed to the community besides the occasional we cant tell you anything.

...check out this thread. Rift has taken the time to post both the minutes of the meeting, along with making himself available in-game for questions. It may or may not answer what you want to hear, but in tandem with my first two questions, can possibly assist with the issue.

Thanks for keeping us informed castle.

Oh and for those that think having domination availible more often is a great gain, i actually went back on the servers and tested it. Sure i can get domination going about 6 times during one mission if i was clicking it everytime it came up. However doing so i got to the end of my mission with Mynx and guess what? It wasnt ready.

So essentially we suffer the same problem, That we need domintion so much for one encounter in the mission that if you risk using it to often you wont have it when you need it.

Same problem as before this fix accomplished really nothing.

Having domination more available is a great gain. With a single person on my team yesterday, I was able to hit domination at least 12+ times during a mission (albeit it was a destroy hive mish). Simply not having it at all times, doesn't mean its not a helpful buff...its certainly easier than it was in I7, to begin the fight anyway, and build domination within a very short period of time. Leading off with it, though favorable, is not absolutely necessary.

Also too, sad to say, but a team would've made a difference (especially for an EB/AV). I ran a team with 8 people on it later in the night, and the rate at which I built domination was insane. Unless the button hasn't recharged yet, I honestly don't see a major issue with doms anymore.

I personally think dominators are a very balanced AT and currently play out just fine. A bit of tweaking between dom powersets would be nice, but at this point I think it's other parts of the game that need work, along with other ATs. Changing the "weak now, powerful later" nature of doms would fully break the AT and strip it of anything that made it unique...at the most, I say just boost the min. abilities slightly.

First things first, a big thanks to the devs for giving doms some attention. In the hands of those who know how to skillfully play their doms, this is a rather huge buff, and it without a doubt makes the AT more attractive to players who are attempting to get their feet wet. Great job!

The only two issues that still prevail IMO, are the recharge timer on domination and the base damage of doms when not in domination mode. The latter is somewhat solved due to the increased availability of domination; however, if the former is in place as a check to avoid more consistent domination, then it somewhat defeats the purpose (unless rapid buildup of domination is intendid for initial use, and not consecutive uses).

Nice buff. I still wouldn't touch this AT with a ten foot pole. I've tried. Seriously I've tried. But I don't understand this fixation with situational buffs like Domination. It's one of the things I despite about CoV.

Dominators need a buff so that they are always a viable AT. And yes, Positron that means being able to solo on Invincible easily. If one AT can do it then they all should be able to.

Dominators can solo on relentless just fine, if not safer than some other ATs. With this buff, it just compounds on this ability.


As for the LRSF and PToD, those are issues outside of dominators that need to be resolved. The changes to domination itself are great thus far.

I'm drawn to the game largely due to the costume creator...for the most part, thats a must-have.

PvP could have gotten the nod if it had more balance forwarded to it.
