Obscure Blade

The patch adding Enhancement Converters is on Beta today.

So, I wouldn't expect them on Live next week - they'll want to test this patch more than a few days. But the week after that perhaps?

Yes, the new Beta patch adds that and other updates.

No, we've just evolved in different directions. Evolution isn't a ladder from "less evolved" to "more evolved"; evolution doesn't have some goal it's headed for.

Imagine Wonder Woman trying to impress Primal Earth people with her invisible airplane; a citizen of Paragon would just shrug and say "Oh, it's made of the same stuff they make buses out of?"

You could, you'd have to radically rework the powers though. Swarms and birds would work pretty well for debuff & slow powers for example, and a giant wolf or lion appearing and howling/roaring would work as a Fear power. You could have a knockdown power where you summon a whole pack of wolves and they run through the target area knocking everything down. That sort of thing.

It would actually be easier to create an "Animal Assault" secondary for Dominators; the animals would just appear, attack and then vanish instead of hanging around like normal pets.

Devouring Earth?

Actually, Devoured animals would be a nice touch for the DE. A warped "wolf" with face tentacles, say.

Well, they are LEOs.

Beam Rifle? I've said in the past they should make Beam Rifle Lts for Longbow; it seems an appropriate weapon, and would break up the monotony of Nullifier-Nullifier-Nullifier-Nullifier...

Actually it makes perfect sense from their perspective. 2XP is a good draw for drawing people back to the game; so is the release of a new powerset. From that perspective, putting both out at once is redundant; it makes more sense to do one, then the other.

<claps>

OK, I've just tested it. You can dismiss them using 'Dismiss' from the pet window, but /releasepets doesn't work.

That assumes that everyone power levels to 50s and Incarnates, never playing anything lower level.

More like Squish!

"What's all that...stuff coming out of the windows?"

"Some idiot hero tried to use growth powers indoors."

"Ewwww."

Haunt pets ("Shades") however do show up in your pet window if you have it enabled.

Well, for one thing /Poison has separate powers for debuffing the enemy's defenses and offense, so it can use Seeds + Envenom on them and speed their ability to kill each other. As opposed to, say, /Rad; Radiation Infection debuffs defense AND accuracy, and Enervating Field debuffs resistance AND damage.

"Why didn't they just send all those doggies to fetch them a stick?"

IIRC, the stealth on Superior Invisibility is a bit higher the the SF/ IO combo (not sure if it matters though) and it lowers your Threat Level. When faced with a similar choice on my Ill/Storm though I just took both, put a LOTG in Superior Invisibility and used it purely for stealth, and slotted Steamy Mist for end reduction & resist for use as an armor in combat.

Mary MacComber, 10 times over.

What do you mean? The Patch Notes have been up for a while now.

Yeah, as I recall Dink mentioned that it would take that long for the updates.
