I don't want to have to choose between a cool Whip Attack or a Pet on a MM; nor have to choose between Whip Attack or a Secondary power. |
Good thing there's a double XP weekend coming.
Someone said something about flying pets on the new Demon Summoning set, it occured to me it may not be a "real" fly may be a hovers a foot or two above ground but doesn't get any higher kind of fly.

Now, you could pick between applying Fire/Ice/Earth with t1 pet buff, and Energy/Negative/Radiation with t2. Lets say I want my Minions to be Ice imbued so they can use Frozen Fists to stack some Slow on their target or maybe go Earth to give them Stone Fists to stack chances to Disorient, but I want my Lt to be imbued with the Fire element because Fire is the best damage upgrade, and finally maybe sometimes I either want my Boss to be Ice too because it gives him great control when he's stacking his slows with the cute little lasher demon minions or I imbue him with Fire so he can run in and start slashing his flaming whip around like a Balrog. Of course I give the minions and lts Dark, because the Light upgrades all suck, but the Boss is getting sweet sweet radioactive energy for the debuffage. I'm having to GOTO order the little dudes to stand over there while I imbue them so they don't accidentally splash onto the other pet and overwrite previous imbue upgrades with the one I'm casting on those minions...Now you're actually thinking about how you want your pets buffed and masterminding how you're rationing the buffs out, instead of just summoning the lot of them and dropping the 2 buffs on their heads. Of course, it might just be as endlessly hair-pullingly annoying as the old "dur lets make MMs buff pets ONE BY ONE" terribad original design, and 99% of MMs just say "screw this, FIRE/DARK CLEANSES ALL! MWAHAHA BURN THEM, MY PRETTIES" |

I'd rather they take their time and get it right. If it's only half as good as Dual Pistols, the wait will totally be worth it.

Aye. Better to take the time needed to get it ironed out now while their focus is on the set. Once they're pushed out to the live servers, stuff just doesn't seem to get revisited until later rather than sooner.

But yeah, no. Power changes should most certainly be done in CB as opposed to Open Beta. That's the reason for beta after all; so that changes can be made quickly and with good feedback.

Indeed. hopefully it'll go OB next week. I'm dying to test it out. Can we get some demon info please? 
It would be just perfect if Demon Summoning had Aim in it.
If that happened, the devs wouldn't be just devs anymore, they'd be performance artists.

Let them do what they need to before I see it so I don't get false hopes

Well, yes, I'd love to have it hit Open quickly, but I'd also rather have it melt the cards of those in Closed than mine. |

It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba
Sorry to disagree with you, but DP applies to multiple ATs while DS only applies to one, and GR applies to the entire game. You know what they say about the needs of the many...
Honestly, I've wanted Dual Pistols for a long time, for this game. Glad to see them finally coming out.
I've wanted new, environments, visuals, costume pieces, villain groups, hero groups, missions, content and lore, for a long time. I've wanted to explore more of the whole concept of Praetoria for a long time.
I never thought about demon summoning until the devs mentioned it was coming out. And honestly, it looks like it's going to be a kick *** set. But it just doesn't grab me. Never been a huge demon fan. Desdemona is teh Hawtness to be sure. But I don't much care about the demons that much. I will play the set when it comes out, fire whip will be cool, but I'm much more excited to run around in Praetoria, interact with a lot of new types of characters, villains, heroes, etc ad all the new costumey goodness, with new stories and what ever else comes our way.
