Says you. I'm telling mom.

Similarly, I wanted to be rewarded for the effort I had put in; I wanted there to be a court of public opinion where the work I put into my arc brought interesting ideas to people's minds, gave them other ideas, encourged them to explore new stories and engage with the narrative of the world while still getting the visceral, enjoyable videogame experience that this game is all about.

I wanted a community where quality of work was more important than quantity of work, where a good, well-written arc designed to fit into a narrative would get more attention by the nature of its quality than an arc that was whored out to SGMates or that hit hall of fame because it was a farm with a semblence of a plot.

We don't get what we want.

But every defender has a power that benefits from +healing. No really, every one.

You're right, I don't. I can just base it on my experience of playing the game and doing very hard things. And I can say that anyone who needs that sort of thing to handle anything in the game has a problem with defining their need.

See, now I'm just jealous that you can log onto City at work. >:|

I have never encountered this unless I am literally clicking too fast to see a reaction. Have you considered it might be clientside? Does this show up on multiple computers?

If they need to do that to take on those boss fights and groups of difficult customs, inspiration toking is not their big problem. Not being able to play is.

It is a bit weird that I can do this in hazard zones and you can't do it in AE, but... oh well, so what? If you wanna tell me stuff like what we were doing in CEBR was reasonable, and that this somehow represents neutering of appropriate play, I have a bridge you can buy.

By that metric, Crey's Folly and Dark Astoria aren't really hazard zones either. Heck, Dark Astoria never was.

They're hazard zones. They spawn large groups, they have red icons on the maps.

If the difference matters that much to him, then yes, he should. Because the problem there is not the material being OP, it's the player being a fussybritches.

My build has better recharge for better offence, more Healing Flames, and perfectly good defence against melee, which is going to cover most e/n attacks that are any concern at all.

My greater point is: If you don't like using Consume, why even have the power? Myself, I see it as a fabulous power that gives you the luxury of a near-bottomless well of endurance - if managing your endurance is so onerous a task that putting a power into your rotations makes the whole experience unfun and ineffective, you have far, far bigger problems.

The second or two consume takes to work in is not going to get you killed nor is it going to get your puppy kicked.

Just because people have said it, doesn't make it meaningfully true.

The addition of mid-level content and new powersets does a lot for mid level salvage and recipes. I've been outfitting alts and notice no real lack of which you speak.

As a marketeer, these things represent a way to exchange eye-are-ell money for fake money at a sanctioned, safe rate that doesn't encourage RMT. It allows players with a desire to invest meaningful real money in the game to do so and improves their exemplaring experience. And it's not priced so low and so easily that they're likely to have a massive impact on the market. So... far as I see, win/win.

It's a pretty relative thing. I want mezzes to be relatively quick so as to minimize the time a thing goes uncontrolled. I also really, realy don't like the hands-up animation.
