Why Blasters? Empathy Sucks.
So, you want to be Mental?
What the hell? Let's buff defenders.
Tactics are for those who do not have a big enough hammer. Wisdom is knowing how big your hammer is.

And i don't consider things like the ITF or Romulous to be equivalent to bank robbers, yet Incarnates have turned even regular runs of that into near keyboard facerolls.
Just saying.
EDIT: I don't have an issue with folks wanting to get more power so that they can just faceroll the game. It's a game, not srz bzness.

thought they was adding some nice hard enemies soon. Suppose to be the toughest things out there and even the minions are suppose to be trouble for a single hero/villain and everything in between.

The funny thing is, I absolutely love these changes. Turning useless powers into useful is always A+ in my book. But what about the enemies? This game is already widely regarded as fairly easy at high levels, especially on teams. Any easier, and I'm unsure how much fun the game will sustain for me over any extended period of time. Being a superhero/villain is great and all, but not if taking down hordes of villains/heroes is as difficult as punting kittens or playing ping pong with a blind person. Hyperbole aside, what does everyone think? Is the difficulty too easy? Should it change and if so, how? Personally, I hope they let us up the difficulty past +4 or something like that. With incarnate levels, we're already maxed out fighting mere +1s in Dark Astoria. I'm all for more difficult factions such as those in Night Ward, but implementing more difficult challenges in this way limits what enemy groups we can sink our teeth into, further relegating old enemy factions to "Council" status (i.e. good for farming, but not any challenge for most). |

I agree with the OP. I've given up on the game requiring me to make any tactical decisions more difficult than "what order should I use my powers in to minimize this spawn's lifetime" while I'm on a team on maximum difficulty. Crashless nukes and the near-universal buffs to inventions in I24 is going to make that even less difficult.
I'd really love some good nerfs.
BTW, how much does it cost to get the upgraded snipe powers?
There's also a special edition fast snipe that comes with a Kismet enhancement included, for only $50.
