You would really be sucking wind if you didnt have set's with +end & +rech. Count your lucky stars you already have them

It's done. Does anything matter anymore? I mean c'mon. Never mind many players didnt want the changes. Never mind the changes will be adjusted again to downscale a halfass fix. Tis the way of Cox.

And the Knockback set, forget the name...let me look that up: Kinetic Crash. Slot 4 of them into, say, Kick (need Boxing or Kick to get Tough) and you get 3 points right there. And they are CHEEEEEEEEAP.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you 6 slot that one you also get extra regen and 7.5% global rech. If you go kinetic crash route try and squeeze 2 extra slots and save the cash youde otherwise spend on a lotg.

If you actully believe your responses to the paraphrased post by myself I feel sorry for you. You and many other players like you missed out on alot of fun simply because you are lazy, crybaby, whiners. The fallout is the lazy,crybaby,whiners got their way. The people that actually played hard and had fun even with uneven odds got the shaft.

Patronizing, insulting, and arrogant all at once. Yup, a PvPer.

Not some pissant crybabies that give up at lvl 50 after they realize this great "buff" makes the late game dom potential fullout gimped as compaired to dominators prior to the revamp.

[/ QUOTE ]
In other words, you have some over expensive build that lost a few percentage points and you think it's 'gimped'. Most of the game is BELOW 50 in case you didn't notice.

[ QUOTE ]
As a vet dom I no longer enjoy the feel of the archetype. I am sorry that I do not like it. It's ok if others do. I am one player . Sacrificing one is certainly worth making 10 happy .

[/ QUOTE ]
If the "one" in question is you, then yes it is. Us whining crybabies will just have to stagger along without you.

[ QUOTE ]
As to your remarks on pvp........ plenty of people pvp'ed before the developers decided to "revamp" that portion of the game to entice the "casual" player.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's more like a minuscule number of people played PvP, and the devs decided to roll the dice and change things in hopes of attracting more. There's never been "plenty" of people playing it. In no small part because PvPers tend to be people like you, who call everyone crybabies, whiners, pissant, carebears, and similar insults and can't quite grasp why most people don't want to associate with you.

[/ QUOTE ]

Amen, ObscureGuy, Amen.

Funny thing here is I don't pvp all that much. I DOOOO sympathize with the players who did and still try to inspite of the changes forced upon them for the good of the "casual". I also play to win whether pvp or pve. Would y'all like a handy link to an artical with the definition of "scrub". Believe you me I have been sorely tempted to use the word "scrub" instead of "casual" on many occasions.

ExcUUUUUUUUUuuuuUUUUuuuse me for seeing the bigger picture.

Like I have said before: I do not like the change of playstyle forced upon my archetype that I have played since COV release.But hey? If it makes dominator popularity rise and the new dominators have longevity I can deal with it.

Get off me fanbois or put me on ignore. Theres a thought!!!!

I was pokin a funny at you my fine, green,scaley friend.

If anything the revamp to psw makes it easier to play than before. I've said this about abazillion times. I never relied on 2 powers for success with my /psi dominators.


The "clunker "made me giggle is all

What we have now is the clunker. Not the other way around. Then again superspeed was a "bug" left in game for 11 issues. So............

On the other end of the spectrum I am sure there were also plenty of players that did not like it and didn't give feedback either.
In all honesty a small portion of Cox players even frequent the forums. I hope the dev's read forum feedback but also have other tools that help them make decisions regarding the games design.The last four issues are turning this player into a skeptic though

And if you're going to slot 4 IO's why not go for all six and get 6% regen and the 7.5 recharge bonus? Then you save mucho inf over a steadfast or karma -KB IO and a LoTG +recharge IO.

[/ QUOTE ]

Agree. Adding 2 more slots for all of that is far less expensive if you've the slots to spare.

You've played this game more than I have in the last 6 weeks, Canuck. Don't give anything away til going "Rogue" comes out.

I wasn't all that impressed with Co. I am waiting for Aion. You should come play Left for Dead, Alien. It's pretty fun and not a pay to play. It's also not half as time intensive as an MMO. Login... smoosh zombies.. get rescued. Logout!!

If you werent accustommed to doing doubles you will see an increase in performance although the range decrease in psw will likely prohibit you from biting off quite as much. Its just a more cautious playstyle,River.

No sir, I don't think any of my dominators are gimped at all now. I am simply one , of an apparant small number of players, who didn't feel my dominators were gimped before the revamp.
As to whether or not you associate with me I really could care less.

Anyway, Psi is as awesome as it ever was if not even a tad too awesome. I think Ive typed several times in the thread " Cheers to all the new doms".

Edited to clarify the use of the word " gimped" in my prior post as quoted by you.
My fire//psi( who was my first level 40 after the release of Cov and my first lvl 50 once the lvl cap was raised) DOES do less damage now than she did before. However, she has more tools to fill in the gaps because of the revamp. I never relied on simply spamming psw to kill mobs .I can live with less damage lategame if the changes indeed do entice new players to commit to playing dominators. I should not have chosen the word "gimped".

This is not helpful without saying what level your talking about, what power sets, etc. For instance pre level 20 ya your probably hurting on end a bit. But post stamina what are you running toggles like leadership pools? Cause i got about 8 dominators at different level ranges, none of them are suffering the problems your talking about, so without further information, ya i will assume its you and not the archtype. Cause with a full bar of end, i dont know of any combo of attacks from any of the dominator sets that would extingush an entire bar of end.

[/ QUOTE ]

I never had this problem before today, so I am equally as flabbergasted.

The only one of my four doms I tried before work today is a level 38 Mind/Ice dom. Now I know /ice is an END heavy set, but before I-15 I would be fine without needing any blues most of the time, maybe one in a protracted boss fight and then only if I was popping hasten and power boost.

But today? Crey Power Tank in Brickstown

[/ QUOTE ]

Brickstown doesn't exist in Cov unless you are referring to a mayhem mission.

[ QUOTE ]
EvilRyu,

So you and your ilk spend years telling everyone how gimp and useless doms are, trashing their reputation over and over again, and now you want those of us who've enjoyed the AT that whole time, as well as who've led by example, to help noob doms how to play just because you asked?

Your audacity borders on lewdness.

[/ QUOTE ]

^^ this.... 150%.

You said it more nicely than I,DC. Thank you.

Big f'in deal.... superspeed was also a bigass"bug" left in after 12 issues of gameplay so nanner fo fanner. Amazes me how people can't wrap their mind around the basic facts of the developer reaction in this game. Basically? If players figure out a way to make something work better than the developers could think up for themselves it gets called a "bug" and nerfed to kindom come.

[/ QUOTE ]
Incorrect. What happened was that Doms in general and most of Psi Assault in particular were underperforming; they deliberately left the bug in because /Psi without the bugged version of PS would have been complete garbage, instead of mostly garbage. Now that Castle had the chance to go over Dom powers, he rebalanced the whole set so you won't suck from 1-37 anymore.

[/ QUOTE ]

. What happens after 37? Also when are people going to climb off the fanboi wagon. Jeez Louise. 3 AND Half years of an "intentional bug"? Okies.

Edited to add: You still can't connect the dots. Again I say that's not my problem. Maybe you'de understand the "Mad Libs"m my children fill in for kicks on road trips better.

I am glad some seem to like the dom changes and hope the new archetype garners a large following in the coming months. Happy hunting!

Dominator's were only underperforming for those that didnt know how to play a dominator. Sorry. 8 issues later dominator's get "fixed". Thats cool and I hope this draws in an awful lot of new dominators. At least if that happens the changes are semi worthwhile.
I personally see the AT going the way of pvp. But thats my own, selfcentric opinion.
Happy domming peoples!!!

/e salud!!

P.S. Do you all really think a casual player knows what the hell you are talking about in regards to the psw changes? If you do y'all are more clueless than I originally thought. The reference to ss being a bug was the best I could think of at that moment. It was left in game for 12 issues. Labelled a "bug" to justify travel suppression in pvp. If you people cannot connect the homegenization dots? Not my problem.

I think the developers work very hard to deliver what is an appealing game in their opinion.I hope they are on the right track and know they think they are. Thats a good thing.

The more people that enjoy the game and play make revenue to extend the life of the game. I am an old player. I am a tired player. The casual idea of fun does not appeal to me. The casual idea to me is more a " been there, done that, bought the t-shirt 3 years ago".Face it? There arent alot of new additionsfor endgame beyond farming or pvp.The cocnundrum: People farm to pvp. But pvp is in such a silly state who even wants to put in the time and effort anymore?

If the devs goal is to make the game more fun for the casual I betcha they are succeeding brilliantly.

Sorry for the tangent and subsequent threadjack.

Op, if youve concerns about your fire//psi but you are a casual player do not worry. All these changes were made for you. You need to slot for extra rech and take stamina. Your domi will be fine. Hve fun playing him//her !

Do you get a badge for that? ** smirks**

You know what,Op? You all asked for it and you got it... Toyata!!!!!!!!!! I don't give a rats [censored] what the nerfherding , new, casual player doms want or need. They made this bed .. let em lie in it.

Big f'in deal.... superspeed was also a bigass"bug" left in after 12 issues of gameplay so nanner fo fanner.

Op? You're character will be fine just get extra recharge to battle the slow rech penalties imposed by issue15. You will need to add the aoe cone or a few st powers to your attack chain. Doms are still fun. Enjoy yours ;D

Maybe they will take away pvp sets like they took away MA badges. After all thats only fair,huh?

No you didn't. You made a vague reference to if people wanted 5v5 they'd do it on test ladder. OMFG.... be honest and not evasive.

You're funny, End Reitanna..... If that were the case there would be more than 2 teams active on test ladder. Now wouldn't there be?

Like I said in my former post. The 3v3 is easier at this point and adds a chance for more competetive teams to dip a toe in.

No offense, but why would anyone "get on" Arcanaville? Last I checked that chick's not a developer.

Given how easy it is to farm in the arena... I'm thinking "not a bug." (I'd have two firetanks, one sitting on the respawn spot of the other, swap once you get a recipe, but I haven't given it much thought.)

[/ QUOTE ]

It's just another attempt to get players to the PvP zones.

[/ QUOTE ]


Is that why they added all kinds of arena badges?



This was my way of IO'ing out all my 50s that I have shelved for so long. Looks like I get to scratch PvP IO farming off my list of reasons I still play.

Damn, my list is smaller than I thought.

[/ QUOTE ]

I am trying to come up with a way to say the following that won't be taken as a dev slam so please understand that is not my meaning.

Badges is the responsibility of different devs than IOs, I think, so that would explain the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing kind of event.

Alternatively the badges were added to get people to use the arena since the rewards were going to get removed.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really since the badges reward retroactively based on prior achevement. I got a minimum of 8 badges from arena on each character I have logged in today.

Op, I can confirm that no rewards are currently dropping in the arena.No enfamy//influence,inspi's,salvage or recipes.

I'll not step foot in a zone until there is a no heal decay button implemented for that as well.
