I made the same suggestion in both threads too, and got over looked as the more well known forum posters debated other things.

I think this is a good suggestion, whatever mechanic they pick should be fair across all powersets, so something like this would allow them all to leverage it in the same way.

I think it is probably (Sadly) against the intention because Hawk doesn't like us using our powers very often and thinks inconsistency is great fun (Yes that was a dig at Hybrid).

If you've got questions, that would be the place to go! He'll be answering questions until 5PM PDT today.
Thanks a bunch dude!

So basically this is the conversation:
[Arbiter Hawk] We noticed Devices is and always has been behind. Here's a special bonus that most people can use about half the time and Devices can use always.
[everyone] FIX IT SO EVERYONE ELSE GETS THE BENEFIT or you hate us and don't want us to use our powers.
[Arbiter Hawk] *goes out at lunch and drinks heavily*

So you think you're a hero, huh.

I heard Zwill can kill a glass or two (ehehe sorry Zwill!) I wouldn't be surprised if we have driven all of our Devs to the bottle at times...

Arbiter Hawk was drunk when he made the changes? I like the changes (for the most part) so if that si the case then I think it's a trend we should encourage. How much booze do you think would be needed to get Time Bomb changed?

I'd say only a little bit more!

He was sober when he made the changes, just crazy. He was clearly intoxicated when he decided to tell the community to ask him anything about the game.

I don't think Castle ever invited the community to ask him anything about the game in an open ended setting. BaB may have once, but he also used to admit he sometimes made up the answers to questions not related to animation.
