Well, it was one of the three, but they don't seem to like letting us know which one.
Kinda bugs me, I've tried PMing folks to get an update, but I don't get a response. <shrug>

Didn't you get the memo? Blasters will get nothing because they're afraid to ask.
Castle called devices "gadgets" mistakenly, and people have been ragging him and the other rednames in general for it since.
They'd probably rather stay in silent apathy rather than talkative apathy.
It got put off to Ifinity

Wow...Fire/Fire Blasters would be the new FOTM for sure, if they did that...nice idea, though, really...

Funny how many folks see a slip that's indicative of a greater problem as just a slip and not the greater problem its indicative of.

If they were gonna put fiery embrace in it would take the place of build up place i would like burn removed and greater fire sword put in think i would love my fire/fire blaster if they did both those things even more than i did and may even make a new one.

Thanks Abysmalyxia, I think. Thought it was a bit subtle and nobody would get the joke. Your idea for Fiery Embrace is good, but I don't think it would work out that well for anyone who went anything/Fire which would be as useful as Powerboost is for Fire/. I think anything in the secondary should support the primary as well as the secondary. If it was changed to modify any damage type by whatever % for the duration and stacked with Build Up's 10 second duration then /Fire could be the king of damaging secondaries, see so few /Fire blasters post 15 I consider it to be small contender to the throne

/me drools uncontrollably and looks really clueless wondering what the joke was...
*struts his /Fire Dominator with Firey Embrace through the thread teasingly*
And he wasn't wrong to call Devices Gadgets. That's just the internal developer nomenclature for the set. Kind of like what we call mobs they'll call critters.

Outrider, I'm confused. Is it supposed to be: Infinity, where as I finity means finite issue? At least, I don't understand the punchline.
Btw, Fire Embrace does boost other damage, as well as fire damage; fire get's boosted longer. So, Fire Embrace would actually help any primary as well as Build Up.

No, I for Issue and with nfinity or finity infront it becomes Infinity. . Like sometime in the future where its never gonna happen. Even you should of gotten that one you dolt /smackbacksideofhead Fusilier
Didn't know, thought it only boosted fire, seeing how its in Fire Melee.

Wrong. When you're relaying information to your customerbase you use publically used terminology, not insider terminology. Ford announces a problem with their cars' cigarette lighter sockets, they tell their customers about the cigarette lighter sockets not "that hot thing". Secondly, when a part of your customerbase wonders if you give a crap about them, and you are about to stick it to them once again, the least you can do is get the details right. When changes come down for other ATs, tradeoffs are often made to blunt the impact on the customerbase affected. For Devices Blasters, not only are there no tradeoffs made for changes made, the devs apparently can't even be bothered to get the name of the powerset they've repeatedly nerfed and are about to nerf again correct. It's perceived as insult to injury and can, and should, be easily avoided.
Again, it's only Ifinity. I get the Issue Infinity part, but the lack of the N between I and F keeps throwing me off.

I think the Devs are still lost at what they are going to do. I asked a week or so ago with no response.

DEFIANCE! *one shots Fusilier smacking him upside the head*
It's funnier as Ifinity... here's why.
Wen you pronounce Infinity you make the (I believe) long I sound... as heard in.. well... in.
When you say I... as in I6, or I8 you make the short I sound.... as in... I. (yeah).
Calling it Ifinity attaches the common "infinity" (despite being only a part of the word... it lets our minds wrap around the concept)... to the typical I for issue.
The joke being Issue Infinity (as in never going to happen... or at least not while we still have more hair on our heads than in our ears)

That does sound better and makes sense. Kinda like how fusilier pointed out "Finite" as being set. But Abysmalyia also points out infinity as endless. Sorta of sometimes between now and never, which ever comes first! I will go back and fix it but have two versions of Ifinity
edit: I-finity sounds cooler anyway Fusilier. Go smack you head against a wall to sharpen you wit and you might find it to be funny
Ifinity+1 !!! *falls out of chair laughing*

That sounds very reasonable. That must be why in over 2.5 years of this game the developers have been using the term devices in every patch note and every forum post, except in one instance, and the 1 forum post was an apology for the 1 test server patch text mistake.
Fiery Embrace, when dealing with non Fire damage, is the same bonus as build-up, sans the toHit buff (+100% damage for 10 seconds). For Fire Damage, it is double effectiveness and double duration (+200% damage for 20 seconds). It USED to be Double Effectiveness and TRIPLE duration, but was nerfed in I4 IIRC.

I've sent PMs as well, but I have never received a response either. Lighthouse has been on a sort of roll lately with answering questions, I was thinking he might see this and let us know what's up.

And seeing as the Trip Mines nerf was not only not even mentioned in the patch notes it was never admitted to after I3 went live, I suppose I should be happy for at least getting a head's up. [/sarcasm] For the record I dropped the whole issue when _Castle_ posted and would've left it dropped if not for [censored]hats that insist on dragging it the [censored] back up. It was a slip. That's very true. Exactly how Freudian a slip it was has people, myself included, concerned.
A while back, the Devs were discussing examining the Blaster Secondaries to try to make them more effective. I know that Electric, Energy, and Devices get a lot of use from Blappers or mine + TP-foe'rs, but you don't see that many /Ice or /Fire. I believe that was mainly why they were checking out the Secondaries.
Just curious, but was this dropped, put further back on the schedule, still working on it, but not mentioned much?
