This is why I have binds set for each teammate. Press a button, buff/heal/etc. Rarely if ever do I misfire. Only happens if I'm not paying attention and trying to buff too fast or didn't realize that the person I tried to target is for whatever reason untargettable. In such cases, the person before them gets double bubbles. |

This way everyone should be happy and you can still buff your team for END and recharge without having someone scream bloody murder at you because he ran between you and your target and got SBed by mistake. I really appreciate the devs' work on this.

Or kinetics that refuse to honor a simple "plz don't SB me" request and begin to SB you for the sole purpose of griefing/harassment. |

I think tonight I'll be sure to park the bulk of my alts next to where Null will be in Pock D so I can begin to switch off SB after the servers come back online.
Think I'll set some to auto reject fortune telling as well.

Purchasing this aura simply makes the aura available as an aura selection, it does not make aura's available, and you must still get an aura unlock token or complete the aura mission arc before you can use the aura.
Are we getting respecs for this? I know it's only a mid-issue, but I plan on respecing my kin to take advantage of the changes to speed boost and increase density.
This wasn't already live? :P

I just reinstalled it yestreday (had to wipe/reinstall Windows in the last week or two), in fact.

I find myself profoundly disinterested in the bulk of the half-Issue's features, but if that means we're one step closer to Titanic Weapons, then let them Issues come.

Though I'm placated as long as there's a Psionic Judgement in the pipeline.
I just realized, that I was so intrigued by the upcoming new pets and trial, that I didn't think of what else it brought. Will be sad to see my force defender's buffs become AoE. Now I can't 'accidentally' forget to buff those people who are rude to me.
Now it would be nice if the server status page worked! Right after the servers went down I went to status page... They all show UP !

True, true. I've been going over my Masterminds in my head, trying to figure out which ones have buffs that will be affected. Surprisingly, not a lot do. My Demons/Thermal one will benefit, obviously, but I played him very recently. My Bots/FF one will benefit, as well, and I might want to give him a once-over, actually. But my Bots/Traps, my Mercs/Traps, my Ninja/Storm, my Necro/Dark and my Necro/Poison will play the same, and my planned new Mercs/Pain and Demons/Pain ones probably won't, as well.|

That's not to say I don't care about the AoE buffs change. I do. To quote that one StarCraft 2 trailer: "Well it was about time!" I have nothing but good to say about this change. Not only does it make life easier for me, but it demonstrates that the development team is willing... On occasion... To alter their basic balance prerogative so as to make the game more fun to play, and that we needn't always be stuck with a horrible system because it's "working as intended." It shows me that player desire and convenience can sometimes trump developer intent, and that's a very good feeling to have.
All of that said, Titanic Weapons excites me more. Much more. AoE Buffs I appreciate on a logical level. Titanic Weapons turn me into a giggling school girl with anticipation
