AIB's Kheldian Wishlist and Song

Since it seems that many are making up (or arguing about) their Kheldian Christmas wish list...Here is mine in order...but first a song...

Jolly Old Developers,
Lean your ears this way;
Don't you tell a single soul
What I'm going to say, (I'll do it myself!)

Issue 22 is coming soon;
Now you dear old Devs,
Whisper what you'll bring to me;
Tell me if you can.

THB wants ____________;
Stone Daemon wants a ____________; (Fill in/add others/make it your own)
Smiling_Joe wants a ________-
He thinks ________ is ___________.

As for me, my great big brain
Is so very bright;
Listen to me, O Dev O'Claus, ()
I'll tell you what is right.

Dear Santa (Devs),

I have been a very good alien all year and I want you to bring me some very special things.

Warshades

1. Toggle Suppression

2. Faster (preferably instantaneous) transformations

3. Better A.I. for Extracted Essences (Why are they are so melee happy?)

4. Some built in -End Res in Dwarf

5. Some built in Psi Res in Dwarf (Suggest 25%ish unenhanced)

(More taunting potential while in Dwarf and/or a base damage increase would also be appreciated. As would the ability to fire off certain buffs/powers while in forms (e.g. Hasten, Extracted Essence). Of course, if wish # 1 were granted it would render this last thing not nearly as important.)

Peacebringers

1. Toggle Suppression

2. Faster (preferably instantaneous) transformations

3. Lightform - Keep the current recharge time. Drop the crash! Lower the base Res across the board. But, add Psi Resistance (e.g. 30%ish Resistance to All. This could be enhanced to 45%ish). Think about it, this would give Human Only PBs a reason to take and slot their other shields and give others a a reason to slot for Resistance in Dwarf as well. Sorry, but Nova would only have 45%ish resistance to every damage type.

4. Photon Seekers - upon detonating I propose that they leave an...afterlight?...an afterflash?...in the form of a Polar Light Pet(s).

5. Pulsar - Please, make it a little more powerful.

6. Allow Incand Strike to be complimentary to Pulsar so folks can get the one, two stun they have long desired.

7. Bring back or give us the option to use the Dwarf Flare Stomp animation (I really miss it and have played my PB far less just because I think the current hand clap looks lame)

8. Some built in -End Res in Dwarf

9. Some built in Psi Res in Dwarf (Suggest 25%ish unenhanced.)

(More taunting potential while in Dwarf and/or a base damage increase would also be appreciated. As would the ability to fire off certain buffs/powers while in forms (e.g. Hasten, Photon Seekers, Inner Light). Of course, if wish # 1 were granted it would render this last thing not nearly as important.)

Thank you,

AIB

I'd want Black Dwarfs Antagonize as good as White Dwarfs and a about 10 more feet in range would be sweet too.


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

I would like one more single-target attack in each form, so I can maintain a viable attack-chain without Monstrous levels of +recharge. (Eye-beams would work for the Nova.) Looking at Black Dwarf, I see that their 'self-heal' is a clone of Dark Melee's Siphon Life - a superb single-target attack, so perhaps they should get a self-stealth bonus power, instead?

I would like One more inherent enhancement slot in each form's powers, to ease the slot-crunch. So Nova and Dwarf have two slots, initially, in each power.

Non-offensive 'temporary' powers should not be locked out from the forms. I might argue that all Pool powers should also be available, but I think that would be over-doing things. We should not have to be in Human form to summon a pet, or teleport to Base or Auction House.

Be Well!
Fireheart

I wish Kheldians were allowed to take part in the Galaxy City tutorial, even if they were "forced" to save Blue Spectrum.

I wish a Warshade's Gravimetric Snare had a better animation that doesn't make me feel like I'm playing beach volley.

I wish Dwarf and Nova forms had an extra attack in their repertoire.

I wish Nova form's AoE attacks had faster animations.

I wish Dwarf form had some measure of Endurance Drain resistance.

I wish the shield toggles would be changed into passive abilities so they don't drop everytime I shift into a form.

I wish Cosmic Balance and Dark Sustenance offered Mag 4 status protection while soloing.

I wish to be able to prevent Voids, Quantums and Cysts from spawning while soloing by speaking to a Hero Corps' Notoriety Contact.

I wish there was a lvl 50 story arc mission for Kheldians, both hero side and villain side.

I wish you all a merry merry Christmas

haha, cute abe.

Bionut wants a _____

  • Form Mastery Power --> Essentially a third form for those of us who love forms,
  • A alternate animation when swapping from say...nova to dwarf.

He thinks _____
  • The Form mastery would be a nice add on, because VEATs are only allowed to take "patron pools" cause of their theme. So Kheldians having "theme oriented" epic pools makes great sense. Then I wouldn't have to Take my PEACEBRINGER HUMAN FORM CLONES to get more powers..
  • An Alternate animation, like an energy "dissapation" then reforming into the chosen form. It would make me feel much more like a shapeshifter, rather than a human who can turn into a squid or a robster. It would feel more engaging, and the animation times wouldn't have to change because those three second swaps would look really cool and be fun

NOTE: This is only half of my "Kheldian Idea" that I'm working on (I'm posting it soon, I've been swamped with drawing homework :P )

So it goes like this right?:

Mattwo wants the new TP and Flight powers for WS and PBs respectively.

Mattwo thinks that it's unfair that they can't have them while other ATs can.

Lol.

Here's to hopin' they can deliver.

Oh, and how about this part...

"Johnny wants a pair of skates;
Susy wants a dolly;
Nellie wants a story book--
She thinks dolls are folly; (Or, in some versions: "She thinks they are jolly.")"

Think we can work Layla into this jingle? I see an opening.

You must not be looking hard enough, because that already happened.

Indeed, Warshades got Shadow Slip (zone tp) PBs got Quantum Acceleration (Afterburner clone).

Wait what? When did this happen? Or did I just overlook it?

Edit: wait they're not inherit?

  • Combat Flight now correctly provides defense to all types of attacks.
  • Luminous Blast
    • Build Up has been renamed "Inner Light". It now grants a large damage and ToHit bonus for 10 seconds, and then a moderate damage and ToHit bonus for 20 seconds thereafter, for a total of 30 seconds of boosted damage.
    • Photon Seekers cooldown has been reduced from 300 seconds to 180 seconds.
  • Luminous Aura: Quantum Acceleration
    • Added a new power available at level 24: Quantum Acceleration.
    • Quantum Acceleration is similar to Afterburner.
    • This allows Peacebringers to select this power if they wish.
    • This power now provides a moderate amount of defense, improved flight control, and -fly protection, but has a 30 second cooldown once toggled off. This power can now accept Defense enhancements, IOs and Defense set IOs.
    • This power will not allow the user to fly unless the user has a flight power active.
    • This power's long help now clarifies that this power's flight protection is only granted while Combat Flight, Energy Flight, Quantum Flight or Group Energy Flight is active.
  • Light Form has been redesigned. Its cooldown has been lowered from 1000 seconds to 300 seconds, but its duration has been reduced to 90 seconds to match that of Eclipse. The recovery bonus from the power and the status protection from the power have been moderately reduced to compensate for the drastic increase in uptime now possible. Additionally, Light Form now persists when activating White Dwarf or Bright Nova.
  • White Dwarf now protects the player from status effects as soon as its animation begins, preventing the power from being interrupted.
  • Solar Flare and White Dwarf Flare are now generated by the Peacebringer's hands instead of their feet, and can now be used while in midair.

Warshades
  • Umbral Aura: Shadow Slip
    • Added a new power available at level 24: Shadow Slip
    • Shadow Slip is similar to Long Range Teleportation.
    • This allows Warshades to select this power if they wish.
  • Black Dwarf now protects the player from status effects as soon as its animation begins, preventing the power from being interrupted.
  • Shadow Cloak - This power now provides defense to all types of damage, rather than just positional defense.
Welcome to i21. And no, why would they be? Kheldian versions of TP Foe and Group flight aren't inherent, so that sets a precedent for optional travel related powers. Afterburner and Long distance teleport aren't given to you for free in the pool power list. There is no reason to assume they would be for kheldians.
