Controller update

Just started reading this thread, decided to add my own input. Mind controlling i love, i think it is one of the best powers just a little upset that the only thing i really have to look forward to as far as good powers later on is mass confusion, but whatever, i will deal my powers and my holding abilities over all are great. And not to blow my own horn but i have found that i have added a great deal to a team that was on a losing streak i have ran in and held many people, sleep and terrified them. We controllers are good, and if u don't like the powers maybe being a controller isn't ur power set, it all depends upon ur personality!
But i still think we trollers rock!

I asked Statesman where they were on the changes and he PM'd me this:

No decisions made. Right now focusing on I4 & I5 & CoV. But I want to get Controller stuff on the plate right after I5.

So, patience is a virtue, (and one controllers tend to have).

[ QUOTE ]
I have nothing but optimism for these vaguely announced changes. Why? Because there is nothing they can do to make my Mind Controller any worse. It can only get better from here.

exactly! I have been gone since november.....came back and my Mind Controller has had no changes, with the exception of fear! Where's my legit 9th power?!?! Still need a group to play for the most part....yes...I am the lock commander...now give me a lil damage please?

Of course you need a group to play. You're playing a Controller. If you want to solo quickly and effectively, roll up a Scrapper.

If you just want damage, play a Fire/Illusion controller. Most MCs like the way the set is built and (aside from the relatively minor improvements requested earlier) want it to stay that way rather than becoming a carbon copy of every other controller set with different animations.

The truth is that fire and illusion controllers can become a 1 person army after 32. I'm not pointing fingers, saying nerf that, but if the devs need to balance things, that's just the way it goes.

Holy Thread Resurrection, Batman!

Illusion and Fire kick a lot of [censored]. Almost as much as Fire Tanks or Scrapper. So why nerf the ones that are hard to build, painful to use, and downright ugly until they become gawds?

Umm.. how exactly do Fire controllers do dmg pre-32?

My DPS is about 6 or 7 I think.

Touche.

But for this line here, at least.

What are you talking about Source? I'm not trying to screw mind controllers over. It's about fighting with my tentacles tied behind my back, because "Oh no, killing them in 2 shots might wake them up!"

And here's how the team scenario should play out: I use 1 aoe attack taking between 1/3 to 1/2 of their health, they wake up; tanker (assuming he knows how to do his job) has this thing some may be unfamiliar with called TAUNT. So after they wake up, they attack tanker, do minimal damage because he has damage resistance and such.

I use 2nd aoe attack... now at this point, they are either dead or nearly so, my teammmates will probably have most of the survivors taken care of by now. See how this works?

Of course, at this point in time, I could have just left them sleeping at full health. Hmm... 30 dead mobs; or 5 dead and 25 sleeping in the same length of time....

Frankly, I'd rather them put the Leadership pool on their "plate" than anything else.

There's no immediate deadline for changes Archetype wide, though individual power sets might need attention sooner. I just wanted to say that nothing at the moment is set in stone.

And, six months later, welcome to the Blastroller. Funny, how things change.

Thank you, thank you. I perform every Tuesdays and Thursdays at Caesar's.

Well, the necro raising WAS pertinent to recent changes, right? It's a valid resurrection!

Your necro is about as relevant as our input was to States's decisions.

Are we resurrecting old threads? I am gonna hit the PA/Imps one if I can find it.

ROFLMAO!!!

The more you quote, the more I love you.

Plus I like your lil siggy card.

Thanks for all of your suggestions in the Dev Corner. I've noted them all down for analysis.

This is why I gave you ONE STAR. Bring back the stars...so I can do it again.

/sarcasm off

Okay this is off topic, and I'm going to get flamed for saying this, but there are alot of a$$ kissers that post here. I couldn't even read through some of this bullsh!t. Jesus, kind of reminds me of some co-workers.

[ QUOTE ]
As one with a 38 Controller I think you all need to CHILL and let the devs do their job...

All I hear is selfish whining. The big picture is what counts and the devs can see that much better than you or I can.

And for you pure gamers out there... remember... The GM sets the rules and runs the world as s/he thinks they should go. If you don't like it that much, you can quit. There will be more players...

Thank you devs for all your work on a fabulous game!!

A prime example of what I'm talking about. Look how far this guy can stick his head so far up Statesman's a$$, what are you looking for up there? A job? Brownie points? What is it, I have to know!?! Seriously, when I get home I'm putting this on my answering machine. Okay, I'm done so feel free to flame me at will.

/sarcasm still off

You begin your post suggesting there was sarcasm, but there really was not any. The whole thing was kind of like that song, "Ironic" by Alanis Morrisette... You know, how she calls things ironic when they really are not...

/sarcasm off = No sarcasm.

I see those who lash out in a raging hissy fit to be equally as retarded as the a$$ kissers.

Patience, wait and see - that really is best.
