I suggest you're wrong.
.... except that there have, indeed, been people coming back after 3 or more years, especially since the game went F2P.

.... wasn't this an argument with Zwizzleztick?

I think this was the topic that was brought up and he ended up bringing up the "But who gets to decide" - to which multiple people (including me) mentioned being the *entire reason* we were given for the red-star rank - a single point of contact and single person of responsibility for CS issues.

Which, to me, includes renames.

"Just."





Heh.

"It's not supposed to make that noise. You leave the brakes on."




... as far as new-Who lines go, I like "Shall I repeat the question" more - but that still brings a chuckle.

Well, it can go invisible. At least if River's helping.

Make it a bottle of Serge and he'll look FABulous too. >.>

Called "Combat," which doesn't happen much in.... wait, yes it does.

You're right! Trip mine *obviously* belongs in Mind Control! Because it's a device!

Where it also is.

Or plant a few, with caltrops, snipe, and as they're blowing up, Ignite the survivors.

While normally I'd take advice on a specific subject from an expert, in this case, I have to disagree with what's being mislabelled as "stupid" here.

*Note, I'm not calling you an expert on Devices, as you're obviously not.

.... as is every other Devices blaster out there.

Ohhh, and you can define for everyone what's fun now, too...

Which it isn't
which it isn't
Trip Mine - You put down a mine. Seems like an appropriate appearance to that power for me.
And if it's not broken, don't. Which it isn't.

A device! In devices! Like, say, a mine!
So you obviously know nothing about blasters as a whole, then. Have you met /electric? /Energy? /Psi? .... oh, look, extra damage.

Here's a suggestion for you:


Instead of trying to screw up a powerset that people have used and enjoyed for 23 issues now.... if you don't like it, don't take it.

"Problem" solved.


I also note you, unsurprisingly, ignored what I told you before, which would show you it's hardly a "niche" power.

Search on "Toe Bomb."

Common enough it has its own terminology in game.

Bu-bye.

They're on youtube, too.

Faces?




... For him, it's "Go to a tailor, lose your pants."

(And yes, the color does need fixing... can't do it though. As he loses both face and pants.)

... I have to think you have never played devices. Ever. Or, for that matter, Traps, which also has Trip Mine in it. If you'd said Sonic Cage was a bit of a "niche occasion" use, I'd agree. Calling Trip Mine "never used" is like saying "Nobody uses Stamina."

Because I want to. Because it fits a character concept.
If this bugs you so much and you don't see how they can open up possibilities nicely with dual builds, four words for you:

Run An /Empathy Controller. (Or, for that matter, a /pain MM.) You'll never feel like the powers are "gone" or "useless" as long as you have pets. (Ignoring PA.)

Of course, it could just be that "heavy team support themed" sets are not for you. Which is fine. Doesn't mean that *they're* broken, though. They're just not for you.

You're empathy. You're attacking enemies solo. What are you going to do, Clear Mind them to death? I can replace that solo with a breakfree... and find another power I'd use solo anyway. Your primary has three powers you can use on yourself... the rest just sit there in the tray.

Alternately, you dip into Leadership and get yourself a bit more damage (to stack on top of the damage from Vigilance you get from being solo.) And/or extra ToHit (and perception... frigging ghosts/banes.) Or start adding some defense to your "solo offender" build. Use different sets than your team build.

How about the buffs/changes/boosts to the Presence pool coming up? Get a bit of control in there. (I've got a Dark/Therm Corruptor - who, by the way, solo also just has three powers from her secondary she can use, and had to wait longer to get them - who'll be enjoying this, as the solo build is also concept and has the presence pool.)

Seriously, having a bunch of "useless" powers is, IMHO, a gift with dual (or triple) builds.

I'd almost put this project on hold (or wander to beta for a bit) and see just what sort of impact the i24 changes will have on it. Things like, oh (and I'm going from memory on here) do you want to grab Glowing Touch or actually dip into Medicine for Stimulant (now that it affects enemies - or was going to, if I'm remembering the coffee talk bit properly) and grab Aid Self from there, and possibly the new T5 power? And where do you fit that in? Grabbing Air Superiority? We may want to look at what can be done with biforms and the newer pool changes on SOs.

I24: Even More Options. Even on SOs.

Don't bother. If you don't play exactly his way and think exactly the way he does... *shrug* (And yes, I can mention several people - non VIP - who saw me on my khelds, had as little as *one month* on their account, and raced off to purchase them. This sort of thing helps them.)

Why he has to come in here and make a nuisance of himself for something he's obviously not interested in, I don't know. I just hope Fireheart, et al, keep refining it for those people and ignore his noise. Because this *will* help people, whether he likes it or not.

Edit: Useful script if you have greasemonkey. Does make the thread look a bit odd.

I think the Legion would approve.

... until we got dual builds and could use those now-free spots to find other things that *would* help the Empath (or FF or Thermal or....)

This:



is not confusion. Just stupidity.

Look up "green machine" in game and tell them that.

... or using dual builds and taking advantage of the extra "free" power choices in the solo builds.

That is impossible. AE salvage is created on demand. You need a Deific Weapon and have the tickets, it's created.

Commons, just roll - and be sure you're in the right level range and type (magic or tech.) If you're not sure which is which, peek at Paragonwiki. Fill up with what you don't need, drop it on the market or in storage and go back.

AE cannot run out of salvage short of the game itself shutting down, at which point the issue is moot.
