So...I questioned your statement that a power is useless because a) ONE monster in the ENTIRE GAME can shoot through it and b) it has a 30 second timer, and you responded with that much bile? Wow.

Because now that Hami has "adapted" this ability, the door is wide open for other foes to magically "adapt" this ability. What's to stop the devs from giving giant monsters, Lusca, the Ghost of Scrapyard, any/all of the signature heroes and villains, or any number of zone monsters and AVs the ability to ignore phase shift? In a single word: nothing. And the rationale? "Well, they adapted like all living organisms do."

Yeah, they could do that.
They can do anything they damn well want, ultimately.
I don't see them doing that for non-endgame content, because I think it would be stupid.
You may thing Hamidon's design is stupid. I don't, for reasons stated. If things that poke through phase shift and hibernate start showing up in door missions then I'll be on the bandwagon with you.
Simply because they did it in this particular case doesn't mean they're dense enough to do it everywhere.
Personally, I think claims that the new Hamidon is harder are a crock. The new Hamidon reqiuires greater coordination and active participation. If you were there to put powers on auto, then yeah, the new raid is harder for you. I always participated and paid attention at raids, meaning I was one of the people enabling all the akf-ers to get their HO. Nothing much changes for me in the new raid, except perhaps that I will die more often.

I will die more often, but I'm not enabling leechers to get their HO. Good. That's one of the best things about this new change. Now you actually have to work for it, and the people who just leeched are SoL

Lol 2 of the times I died it was at least 10-15 seconds after the power was activated, and the damage dealt in some of the cases was done by melee, not ranged attacks. (this was on a good computer with a T3 line internet connection.) In the grand scheme of things, PS is just one power, and I'm sure as shinola not going to stop playing the whole game because of one power, character, baddie, or whatever
