1 If you're dropping bonfire in the middle of a bunch of melee people usually scrappers or tankers just to scatter stuff everywhere. Yes thats griefing and if they ask you to stop and you continue to do so yes thats griefing.

2 Yes this has happened more than once.

3 What's to learn? If stuff is knocked down and you're using it for positioning backpeddle. And this is again optional via the options menu or the team leaders choice. Its no different then quitting a team or being kicked from it that didn't want you to use knockback before. Now you can use as many of your knockback powers without pissing anyone off.

The enforcer pieces look similar but are completely different and outright ugly compared to the vanguard set. Atleast to me anyway.

See the answer to this issue would be the speed / jump slider or a option to block jump and or speed buffs and a option to hide buff animations. The only reason some people don't want ice shields as an example, is because it makes them lag. Especially those with extremely out of date 10 year old computers.

Yeah.... Its a horrible idea if you like to join and grief teams with bonfire and powers that scatter foes everywhere. Knockback honestly doesn't bother me until it gets to that point.

Why should I have to tell someone "You can't use that power because it knocks everything back"? You think I'm not going to use my energy torrent, or Explosive blast because it does extreme knockback? Or do you think I'm not going to use solar flare on my human pb because the team doesn't like it? Hell no, I'm going to quit the team because those are some of the more powerful AOEs for those particular power sets.

I was on a team playing as my merc/paindom mastermind and 6 people actually quit the team because the occasional knockback from my mercs grenade launcher. I couldn't believe it... I mean seriously, I'm a mastermind and I use pets, what do you want me to do about my pets?

This idea is win win for everyone. You don't get kicked, you get to use the powers you enjoy, and everyone else is happy. Just make enemies stay knocked down as long as they would be from knockback and the survivability from knockback remains the unchanged.

I've seen more than a few battle axe tankers fling enemies around like rag dolls and they were not vulnerable to knockback nor did the tank have knockback ios or knockback boosting powers and the enemies were not green, blue or grey so it had nothing to do with low level enemies. It DOES happen.

AE tickets would be a nice way to get the various huge list of temp powers we have ingame.

Here is just small list and a example, the ticket cost / time could be higher or lower but generally I think 12 - 48 hours on certain powers would be good enough. Due to the ticket limit and farm nerfs.

Power Tickets Ingame Time
Nemesis staff 3000 24 hours
Black wand 3000 24 hours
Undead Slaying Axe 2500 24 hours
Sands of MU 2500 24 hours
Summon Team Mates 4000 24 hours
Self Rez 2500 48 hours
Flamethrower 2500 12 hours

I did diminish your point. There is no it could of been used for badges and repeating old content. It only was intended for badges and repeating or completing missed content.

They designed it to send you to the most common zones story arcs are in or to areas that link to those zones. So you still have to travel. This was the intent so that the core zones still remain populated to an extent and its still why they haven't extended the number of zones that the portal can send you to.

haha I knew someone would post that. I was just waiting on it. The zone was created because badge people wanted a way to get badges from content that they missed and repeat old content. Not for you to use a mario warp zone.

I hope they some day add all missions to it so I can also use it as a way to get the temp powers metioned again.

If you want to go by that logic take a look at the ouroboros portal which is a temp power but look at how often its used (never expires) and it's frequently mis-used as as a lazy travel zone.

I also said "I hope they change that someday" Seems broken to me if you can't go back and earn things that you missed. It would also be nice since there is no other way to earn this power other than to wait for years of vetrewards.

I've notice that one of the axe powers knocks back other stuff besides clockwork.

Simply add a option to the options menu to lower my knockbacks to knockdown magnitude. And also allow the team leader / mission owner to control this.

Knockback doesn't really bother me as long as its a power doing good aoe damage. Bonfire and tornado users do tend to get annoying however, but thats only if nobody is using aoe immobilize cages. You can control alot of the annoying knockback powers by having a competent controller spam the AOE immobilize cages. (some power sets don't apply)

Dont buy a name brand pc, you'll overspend. You can get something way better than a name brand for 1600 - 1800$. Also go with a pc, you'll run into more compatibility issues and needs to emulate with a mac when it comes to gaming.

I'll give you that with short players. But short players come up to *** view of most of my characters anyway. Not a whole lot that can be done about that heh. Wouldn't get caught leaving ninja run on while idle if thats the case.

Someone has to be a pretty odd perverted angle to get a view like that. Because just standing in front of you normally having a conversation with you ingame won't reveal anything. Unless you're getting some really weird and bugged animation with how your character was built. I'm certainly not having that problem with mine.

You're more likely to give people a "free show" while you're at the consignment house or during combat without noticing it at all. Still though, you do have to make sure some of the "kids" aren't watching

I'm sensing a comment probably intended for me and I'll pretend I didn't read C and give you the chance not to make an idiot of yourself.

Its still only 10$. Are you really going to go through all that trouble just to get 10$ back for a purchase you made in a video game? 10$ for most people is a hour or more of work or 1/3 the price of cutting some old ladies yard. Or as babs posted, less fast food for you. (which is a good thing in the end)

Probably not a very well built team. Because you can be the ********* tank ingame and not need set bonuses to tank. As long as you have a good emp defender that uses buffs, auras and heals or a force field, cold domination or sonic defender you should be good to go. About the only places where you REALLY need sets are in the statesman tf and they can make mothership raids alot easier as well.

Sets however will help you on the really bad teams with those defenders that would rather blast than defend. God forbid a support class not play well... um support? There are alot of really really terrible defenders nowdays though, I think its a big result of the AE babies syndrome that you probably were not here for.

Shhh don't piss off babs.

Sometimes you can "Run and gun" with assault rifle. Makes me someday hope that it will be possible to do normally instead of it being a bug.
