Issue 19 is WIN, but no proliferation?

I want to touch on not what PC Guy said, but what he has in his signature. I don't want proliferation to fall off the radar like PvP did. There are already folks who claim that it isn't important to do proliferation because all the ATs are available to each side.

The devs have created some AWESOME systems over the years, but they do have the habit of chasing the next shiny. The next shiny in this case is the endgame and Incarnates, two things I greatly wish for and support them in doing. But that doesn't mean that I'd like them to ignore other things in the game, especially low hanging fruit like proliferation.

Positron was probably right. They should have just done it all at once and gotten it over with.

Adding in alternate animations for like all the energy shooty sets works enough for me for profileration of a sort for now.

good luck D.B.B.

I want sonics for MM. I know there is already force fields (which I don't take due to lack of debuffs), but I don't really see the problem with sonic being ported over.

If the toggle debuff (Disruption field) is the issue, they could always just switch power orders around and swap it with something else like the "Clarity". I mean it wouldn't be that much of a game changer since MM already have dark with Tar Pit, but just minus the heals from dark set I would think would balance it out. It isn't like sonic is like force fields, the pets will still get hit just as often, but just not as hard.

I've wanted to make an Illusion/Fire Dom since CoV beta. Had a concept all ready. Alas, they didn't make Illusion available for Dominators. And Slug was a sad bug.

When they started doing proliferation I was hopeful for Illusion/* Doms to make the cut. Thus far that hasn't happened. They gave */Thermal to Controllers and I was able to make an almost-good-enough substitute for my original concept, but would still prefer to make it as originally intended.

A few others that I wouldn't mind seeing ports for:
*/Broadsword Tanker
Broadsword/* Brute (I like the idea but would need to play with the mechanics/numbers to see if the reality matches the picture in my head)
*/Ninjitsu Scrapper
*/Sonic Mastermind

Dark/* Blaster or */Ice Stalker might even get me interested in those ATs again.

Illusion Doms sound cool, but everytime I see someone say Controllers got Plant and now Doms don't have any unique sets I have to think about all those Assault sets Doms and noone else gets.

Proliferate Assault sets to Corruptors and Defenders.

Well change them around abit, level 38 snipes aren't really gonna be all that great on fenders.

really as i see it, there are a number of directions that they can go each issue, new tips, new weapons, new animations, new costumes(not going to be snarky, not going to be snarky), base stuff, more oroboros, more papers, redoing old content, ae stuff, even pvp stuff, though thats probably a second snark landmine. point is that proliferation has had a fairly recent addition, im sure they will get around to it, but as balancing goes, i think you are understating the amount of work they put into sets to try to keep them from being too out of whack when added to different at's. It is no secret that pa is already a outlier as damage goes, you have suggested as much yourself, most like it, like psi blast, may have some adjustment in porting, so its not just something that can be casually tossed off for an off issue. much like ss for scrappers, i would not eb surprised if it was ported in some form for dominators, but i just not seeing where the pressing need for another run of proliferation is a make or break this to this issue. If anything, since we can assume that they are already doing some work that will go into subsequent issues, i'd imagine that castle is probably working on incarnate powers.

For example, at one point, the devs were adamant that we shouldn't have a market merge because it would "hurt" villains. Two months in and the market is healthier than I've ever seen it. The game as it stands now is a testament to the devs ability to listen to complaints from their loyal, but crabby, playerbase.

now you know enough to know this is a biased comment. the players have complained about just about every change made to the game, in some cases their commentary has helped the game, in some cases it has been unreliable, statistically invalid, biased to specific play styles or would make the game worse. just because a few decisions were overturned for the argueably better does not mean that player feedback is in any way superior to internal metrics, it simply is another metirc to watch. We can just selectively point to the times that it has and forget that long time posters here have repeatedly made suggestions that would so permanently throw balance out of whack in this game(particularly for specific kinds of tanks) that their feedback would have done irrevocable harm. we can also point to suggestions that have been made that simply are infeaseable for this or any video game, or would be huge time/resource sinks for limited payoff. we get it right some times, but there are a lot of us and we throw a lot of suggestions, and a lot of them are "horribly wrong".

Furthermore, it assumes that here ever is clear concensus in the first place, have you noticed how free stamina has even generated some vocal discontent, remember the dom buff? Even on ostensibly popular ideas, there will be some who will object because it upsets some aspect of their game, that's just the nature of change. feedback is important, and it has, at times, lead to improvements in the product but lets not oversell ourselves, we are as fallible as they, and most of us, realistically, dont know as much about the reality of programming and financially maintaining a video game.
