Wait, 1 second recharge? NERF! I can't believe they did that! That's going to *completely* ruin my Khelds! This is a slap in the face! With another face! WARRRRRGarbl!!!




... because someone had to have a fit over it, so I might as well get the non-serious one in and out of the way.

Edit: Small problem with kheld forms and the popup tray though... bugged. >.<

They are using the pop up tray for forms now? Or it just doesn't work for the other stuff when you're in a form?

just whipped up a tri-form build. 32.5 s/l in all forms, 95% recharge, nearly 30% damage bonus before mires and only 2 purples sets, so relatively cheap. Damn you mids... >.<

My PB is currently running 45% S/L Def and 90% recharge. That's JUST enough to make Lightform and Inner Light perma. I love the build...but if they DO go through with this change it'll be even better.

Best single change I've seen them announce since Lightform being usable in all forms.

The popup tray is supposed to be for things like the temp powers in the Lambda facility. However, going to forms has it fill in with that form's powers - and worse yet, for this bug, with duplicates (something you can't do in other trays.) F'rinstance, my PB's Dwarf form has a tray going something like Smite - Strike - Stomp - Stomp - Smite - Heal - Taunt - Strike - Heal - Heal - taunt.... which means if I ran a Lambda, I'd have no room for the temp powers.

Plus, at this point, you can't *remove* those powers from that tray. ("real" temporary powers, of course, you can just delete.)

Nova had the two ST blasts, and two copies of the AOEs. And my humanform had two of the vet pets.

It's probably just "Khelds being weird" again, kind of like when adding inherent fitness goofed up Khelds and Doms for a bit on beta. They've got time to fix it.

Edit:
So you can see how it looks as I go between forms (other khelds had other powers showign in here, but all had the various form powers)



... but like I said, they have time to fix it. Stuff like *this* doesn't tend to make it out of beta broken.

Because if there was an instant activating power with no recharge on it, there's no way it would be toggled rapidly and bog down the server. I mean, it would take a real jerk to try such a thing. It would be like spamming emotes in a busy area to try to lag people out and disconnect them, before they added a chat throttle. And nobody did that, such a thing would be unheard of!

(and yes I know the post I'm replying to was being funny as well)

told ya.
Edit: By the way this should serve the dual purpose of an Arbiter Hawk appreciation thread. He did this and all the Peacebringer buffs in i21. Thanks for all your work, the aliens appreciate it.

Told ya Arbiter Hawk was a good powers guy.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I remember when Cossie changing had no cool-down and people would strobe in front of your eyes using a set of linked keybinds.

The pop-up tray is nice for people getting into Khelds alright. I've the keybind system set up so makes little difference to me but as a general QoL thing for new Khelds this is great.

Now, who do we bribe in order to get some APPs/PPPs going (can we have Dominator ones please? I swear it wouldn't be broken)

Here I thought it wasn't worth my time to try and build up defense bonuses on my PB. Good thing he's only level 10 and I've in no way implemented anything resembling a build yet.

I'm getting more and more excited for I23:

-New Incarnate ability
-New trial
-Instant form changing

Now if they would only add toggle suppression...

Toggle suppression in forms is the next thing we need, and really should go along with this change. Hopefully they will attempt to add it to the list.

Having softcapped defenses, permanently capped resists, and three heals is kinda op, honestly. When you throw in a permanent damage boost as well it just isn't fair. I've gotten lots of /tells recently from people in-game that said I've changed their minds on a PB's usefulness to teams.

I'm not saying that the above is better than a Warshade can do. My wife loves hers, but I really like the overall theme and feel of PB's more...and this is the most effective PB I've been able to build.
