Please prove that there is bias in the current system. Until you do that, I see no reason to change it.
And don't forget, it could come back to bite you. "Hey, I got 15 shards this time!" could end up being limited ("Maximum of 3 shards in 24 hours") instead of the lower end being buffed. -

Quote:Knew I forgot one, though it's not as bad now. Bots/FF nearly put me off Masterminds completely. Great, defense-wise, and I've managed to get him in the mid-high 30s (from "around COV launch" to now,) but exceptionally boring, to me.Originally Posted by Lady Arete
My Mastermind Bots/Force Field.
For some strange reason, she is just not fun for me to play. Bubbles have to be put up, I just regret choosing force field for my mastermind.
Went to the MM forums, fished for suggestions, someone threw out Thugs/Poison, had a blast getting it to 50. And I've been enjoying bots/traps, too. -

Quote:So use the gravity guysers. You don't HAVE to use the jetpacks.Originally Posted by Burning_Brawler_NA
I thought there were jetpacks for sale, but couldn't be sure. I do agree however that, though the cost is pretty insignifcant, that traveling in the Shard should cost anything.
Now, other than that, yes, it needs new missions. It needs some decent arcs. It has barely been touched (other than adding vendors, etc.) since release.
It does *not* need to be co-op. Giving villains their own version? Sure. Co-op... there'd have to be a REALLY good reason for it. Especially since - well, to be blunt, a lot of co-op writing flat out sucks, at least if you're a villain. (And even if you're a hero, some of it does - "I know the Isles don't really seem like a place worth saving" - excuse me?)
Now, there's a lot villains could do there - just look at going for or against Darrin Wade. It's a Midnighter zone, for sure - but what would be keeping my heroes from attacking villains (other than the general lack of interest in PVP?) or vice versa? It's the mind of an insane - and more than eager to invade and destroy our dimension - god. It wouldn't be interested in *stopping* the carnage, after all. -
Quote:Epic = tied to a storyline, not "zomghitabuttonkillthezone." And they are. (As are the veats, even if the VEAT story absolutely sucks, like it was banged out in a night.)Originally Posted by shaggy5
SO sad. The epic toon that has to be unlocked (even though I STILL HATE that they unlock at 20 now) should be EPIC! -
Quote:Nebulous Form - no slotting really needed. Quick phase if needed.Originally Posted by Largo
Respecs with inherent fitness make regular hero setups more like Warshades and Peacebringers in their difficulty. I don't relish the though of respeccing my Warshade, that has Sprint, Hurdle, Stamina already...and picking 3 new powers for her. Yeesh...overwhelming.
Shields - yeah, might not USE them (I do with S/L and E/NE, but don't slot much,) but they're great places for KB IOs.
... just some suggestions to start with
Peacebringers can be the same with the shields, with things like Quantum Flight, conserve power, the rez and the like. There's actually quite a bit that works just fine on the default slot.
Plus, don't forget, those new inherent fitness powers are working in the forms now, too. -
Been doing this a while... have to agree. This gets to be tedious after a while. Speeding up the process would be nice.
-
Unlocking, yes.
Going through everything that they'll release for it? Probably not. -
Remove, no.
Put a limit to how far they go? ("If you're in an AOE/debuff patch, run 30' away then stop," sure. Of course, for those debuffs that "stick," they'd have to see they're not actually in the patch any more. -
Not going to happen. Period. It's one of the things the devs have come out as dead set against.
And, frankly, I agree with them. Just like every other time this gets posted. -
Quote:Well, I could see the so called "Pure Healer" with one attack, the Medicine pool, etc. being unable to complete it solo, perhaps.Originally Posted by EvilGeko
It does scale. I don't understand your point. The mission obeys your team size and difficulty slider options. On base difficulty or lower (1 player/even con/No AVs) it is soloable by all character combinations.
Other than that... -
Quote:A self heal was added to Energy Drain not that long ago. Seems aimed at being fired off with a good number of enemies around, as with just 1-2 it's not that big. (which, with your settings, is what you'll see - I think I get around 10-15% of my health back with just 1-2 enemies.)Originally Posted by Mirai
Electric/Energy brute. Mediocre defense with notable holes and no self heal,
At level 28 when it opens, it gives 28.24 health (per enemy) unslotted. My slotting (3 rech 3 heal - one SO, two common IO) gives me 88.93 (from a base of 44.98) per enemy every 30 sec. or so. So, yeah, with a x1 spawn of 2-3 enemies, just short of 270 HP healed, and I have 1724 HP. Need bigger groups for that to be noticeable. Or just fire it off continuously. One of the two. -
This needed another thread. I'm so relieved to see one finally made!

Quote:And I'll counter that by pointing at the "Accurate" and "Recharge Intensive Pet" sets that were introduced not that long ago - where before you did have to sacrifice something for those if you wanted to use them in (say) Transfusion, Controller pets, Extracted Essence and the like.Originally Posted by IanTheM1
And I'm unsure concerning the suggestion itself. I feel like having to make the choice of sacrificing certain elements of a power for the sake of certain set bonuses is a good thing. It's no different than some IO sets focusing more on recharge, or accuracy, or damage.

Quote:I'll have to grab another of my 50s and look, but I don't believe I'd even spoken to him at that point.Originally Posted by IanTheM1
I'm still thinking it's related to Ramiel's first mission, since I'm pretty sure (one of?) the uber-buffs is called Freem (you could even look it up with brackets in I18 as [Core Radial Freem] or somesuch).
Perhaps due to the way it's coded, Ramiel grants the player those powers, but they don't activate until triggered by the mission map? -
Quote:He has, I'm assuming, played the RWZ content before.Originally Posted by Diggis
He wasn't saying he was. He was saying that people who say you should go in prepared with the curse breaker were full of it cos he didn't want external notice of what was going to happen. Lady Grey didn't tell you so you can't know without reading it here.
He's thus been exposed to the Rogue Vanguard and some of the tricks they have, including the curse breaker. The Curse is used even on lower difficulties.
He's told in the briefing that there's a rogue Vanguard operative in there. And to bring friends.
It's not a stretch to think "Hey, I don't know exactly what TYPE of Rogue Vanguard is in there, but it's supposed to be a tough one. Maybe I should grab blues/that curse breaker/etc."
Now, someone that's at 50 without having played the RWZ stuff? They'd have an excuse. It would be a completely new power being used on them. -

When respeccing into inerrant fitness, you have two options;
1) Slot everything (including fitness) the exact same way it was before. The three new powers you pick should be things that either don't require much slotting to be useful (Hasten, travel powers, etc), or can be mules for global IO bonuses, like luck of the gambler.
2) Try to salvage slots from other parts of your build;
- In the past, fly used to require more than the default slot to reach the flyspeed cap, if your build is old, you could get a slot from there.
- have some powers three-slotted for recharge? Get the Spirit alpha-slot buff, and knock off slots from those powers.
- Frankenslot to downsize slotting requirements - If you are relying on SOs or common IOs, consider that 5 dam/rech set IOs (from different sets) can be just as effective as 3 dam and 3 rech enhancements
Slot stretching has been something Kheldians (at least tri-form) have had to learn for a while now, so it's closer to second nature for me. Definitely look for the things listed above - I've got some useful powers that are only single slotted, and I've had a chance to fix some overslotted powers as well. -
Pretty much "All stalkers." My Widow was like that, as well.
Almost anything with Kinetics or Rad. Emission, as there's so much flat-out "good stuff" to pick up in those. -
Quote:Nope, it uses "Inherent Fitness" for that. (see above.)Originally Posted by Schismatrix
Also VEATs. My punked-out Crab loves spewing all over groups of enemies.
Since it appeared where the inherent Fitness pool usually does i wonder if Temporal Freem Overthruster is the placeholder/name used by the client for inherent Fitness. Same font and coloration.
(Edit: And Temporal Overthruster is too long. 21 characters. But Temporal Operative now exists. >.>) -
Illusion/Sonic controller. Fought with it to... think I hit 40 on it. Still there.
Now, I made it back when Sonic had the headache-inducing shields, first so I could find what was bugging ME, and second so I could *not* take them and use the space to add more control (via Presence.) Presence - or rather the fears in presence, which as a low-control Controller is what I was looking for - puts the Hoover factory to shame, as well.
Then Sonic's graphics got fixed, I got to try to play it normally. Buffing's fine. Illusion still stank on ice. I just cannot stand playing it. I want to play and build for control, not "try to get these pets back fast and hope whatever stupid thing they're about to do isn't going to get us killed."
I hate *starting* VEATs. The whole 23 wasted levels before you can play the character you want bit (or, if going for a Huntsman type build, 23 levels then being forced to respec right back into what you were.) Wasn't fond of my first Bane, either - needs better stealth, as opposed to "Just close enough to be seen and hit before an attack goes off, killing my chance for a crit," and less of a glass jaw when I do get hit, and the storyline itself is so bad the best thing to do is ignore it - seeing what they'd done for the "story" for an Epic nearly made me delete that Bane out of pent up irritation at 30-35. -
Quote:Well, that's one I can shoot down, as that was showing up before I even started it. (I know it didn't sound like that when I typed it out at oh-I-need-sleep AM.Originally Posted by Patteroast
I think this has something to do with the buffs applied in the incarnate mission. They appear to be similar to the normal incarnate boosts (although temporary), so perhaps that's why they're showing up as categories here. )
Plus, it disappeared when I closed that. Later (pre-respec, still, I went to check on what enhancements I'd squirreled away) it was gone, but "Inherent Fitness" showed up in the same way (and about where the actual IF "pool" shows up.) -

Imagine how those kids would have turned out if, at every important point in their life, I rolled the dice and solely allowed RNG processes to determine their fate.
Or maybe happening to get hit by a drunk driver?
Or happening to find a $100 bill on the street?
Or any of the other things that happen *completely by chance* in life?
