This looks familiar. Is- is that- undoing ED?
-Climbs into flame-retardant suit-
ED was necessary for the game to have any sort of realistic balance. When we've got people soloing AVs and GMs why on earth would the devs want to make people MORE powerful?

Sorry if I did repeat this. But I bet it been at least 2 years.

One set of L40-50 (mixed levels, averaging L45 or higher) IOs, six slotted into a power: 66% to Acc, Recharge, EndRed and 99% Damage (after ED takes it down a bit), plus Set bonuses that apply to every other power in my build. I'll take that over a build that could ignore ED, but was SO-only.|

I loved that having all those imps, just standing back healing them : P Walking up to Kraken burning his butt! I am not saying let MMs have as many as they want because they are already bad to the bone with 6  I bet we could get the devs to change it back! I am not saying make us gods or anything, just super powerful I know GR is going to make it so we can become stronger at level 50, but I want to be powerful before level 22. Not saying I want to solo a 6+ team mission with everyone 4 levels higher, though that would be cool too. I just like feeling powerful, If the foes are too weak we can make the stronger I mean really we can make them a little strong and make us like we were in 2004. I don't think it fair we can have all these good memories but all the people who started in 2006 or later never got to feel super powerful... Before they were level 22 : P. |
I was there in 2004 and the Good Ol' Days don't hold that much nostalgia for me that I want to go back.
Well, they could make Integration a toggle again though.
Not sure what ED is hehe : )
The IOs cost sooo much money and I don't wanna grand and and at 50 there when no need to get them at 45 that just 5 more levels, though I do enjoy my Tanker with the IOs I am very hard to kill heheh.
This is ED. (Enhancement Diversification)

If IOs cost a lot of Inf, then go to the Market and sell the ones that you get from killing the bad guys. Then you'll have a lot of Inf to buy what you want.

Guess I could. But I am already level 50. Suppose I could do it at level 22 but won't I need to replace them at level 50?|

Translation of the OP:
I would like to return to the days when there was only one way to build a Blaster, a Tank, a Scrapper, a Defender, and a Controller.
No thanks.

I'll bet against that. How much? I think I can afford to put up $1000 at the moment.

Power... you were doing so well there for a few months... no threads that honestly made me want to put MY head through a concrete block.
Seriously, WHAT HAPPENED?
Quote:
Hold on. Power's suggestion was easy to read and legible. That's all we can really ask from anyone. As long as I don't get an aneurysm trying to make sense of his suggestions I can settle for simply disagreeing with the ones I don't like.

We don't need the Devs to change anything at all! We've got all the Power we need! =-3

I just had a horrible thought.
What if the Power_NA account was a generic Paragon Studios sock-puppet account, and anytime a developers voices a really really stupid idea in the studio, they then have to go repeat that idea on the forums as Power...
The only thing from 2004 I'd like back is the aggro cap to be removed, and only from tankers. If you can keep more than 17 foes angry at you and survive it, by all rights, you should be able to.
I'm not talking about removing target caps and whatnot. Leave all those in place. But when a double ambush comes for the blasters on my team, let me soak up the aggro.
Where to now?

You want powerful? Go compare one of our *so-so* characters and what they can face versus a median, or even powerful, character in *just about any other MMO.*
Go play Aion. Go experience "You can fight 1v1. Take a minute per wolf/bat/whatever critter we have you beating up. You *might* be able to handle 2v1. Oh, just hope it's not that pack of Elites you have to run through at level 10." Then come here and crank up the difficulty since 3v1 is *too easy.*
The game is many, many times better now without the useless BS from pre-ED, where everyone stood around waiting for the tank to herd the map and one person nuked. If the game had kept going that way, the game would be *dead* now.
Hey Bill!
Got a hypothetical one for you.
Take our current ruleset with agro and target caps, current enemies, etc.
Two teams of generally the same AT/powersets as the other.
One is SO-only, but ED is removed. The other is entirely slotted in Set IOs. (No Purples, No PvP recipes, but decent sets, the use of the market's hottest sellers allowed only in very limited supply)
Which would you rather bring to the table? I'm betting the IO team.
And without ED, I don't think we would have ever gotten the Invention system.

Or Champions... but I am too powerful there lol. So I guess this way is better since I moslikely will hate it after a while. My level 40 can handle anyone, but most legendary guys hehe
