So what is left to fix?

Oh I forgot one of my biggest pet peeves.

The Music.

Or rather the lack of the game music. Currently the game music will only play once and only when you cross a neighborhood boundary. I would like to see, as a temporary fix at least, the music loop repeatedly. In addition I would like to see some music added for missions!

In my opinion if you have the game music on it should never stop playing. Log in to log out. But that me and I tend to be a bit more extreme about these things.

More Targeted AoE recipes!

Another one that popped into my mind right now; been on a solo binge lately, and on a whim I cranked the sound up, and found out it is quite nice, with new environmental sounds added.

Problem is, with the horrendous way multi-target powers sounds stack in volume, you have no choice but to lower your sound down (way down) on teams if you value your eardrums.

There are also powers who are naturally loud.

Sound as a whole in this game could use a balance pass...

Blasters are getting a lot of love, but lets get real for a sec, they needed it desperately. I feel they need to reevaluate and give them an option for Mez protection (power pools?) and possibly a damage modifier bump. The kings of Damage have a Looong way to go to reclaim that title. These were steps in the right direction, definitely.

Tier 9 crashes on things like Invulnerability's Unstoppable. Whoever wrote that up had no idea what video game they were actually writing for. I would prefer something like the new hybrid power in there or Willpower's tier 9 anyday.

Energy Melee. The animations are sooo beautiful. Classic Comic Book fighting. Ka-Pow. No redraw. What's not to love? Oh yeah, nothing but ST damage, corpse blasting, stuns? (What does stun have going for it? Hey at least it's not knockback! What a selling point!) A pathetic AoE attack. Oh, and the set damages you, to add injury to insult.

Knockback. Again, I must congratulate the Dev team on the KB to KD I/O in the Summer Damage set. More, just more. Give me 3 of those and I will run Energy Blasters again. Okay, 4 for Energy Blasters.

Those are some (Some) of my pet peeves. I am one player who plays a very limited range of archteypes. I am sure there are plenty of other valid gripes out there.

Another thing that could stand to be looked at is the way memorized recipes are opened by default in your crafting tab. It might not seem like such a big deal when you sit down and craft anyway, but in the middle of a mission when you're trying to sort useful recipes from deletable ones while punching dudes, having to click on the tiny arrow to close the memorized recipe list down every single time gets old, especially as you're going to have to do that dozens, hundreds, thousands of times.

I specifically go out of my way to avoid getting memorization badges for that reason. Surely that can't be intended.

Hybrid left to be fixed but since devs don't agree that it is broken and even claim that it is WAI as it is I doubt this will happen in i24 or in i34 -sigh-

Whats left to fix?
Let's see:

Old models of citizens and NPC replaced with new ones.
Updated looks for old signature characters.
More zones revamped.
All pools available to Kheldians (no Tp or Fly restrictions).
More ancillary power pools.
Animated fingers, faces, hair.
Asymetry for shoulder pads, gloves, boots.
Praetorian 40-50 lvls content with a wrap of the storyline.
SG offline invitations.
Updated base items.

Villains needing more just villains sf's. There's still gaps in the level ranges (and NO! , co-op tf's don't count tbh. Villains need to be villain like at all levels without having to team with those loser heroes : - Like St mat n Port f/e

So, Arcanaville - you don't remember that we put this in I 22?

[4. The solo incarnate path needs to be fixed by adding a hallucinogenic cut scene at the end of every story arc that causes the player to be put into a fugue state whereupon they forget having played it.]

Golden Girl loaned me this:



-Warrant

(Widow) [Indomitable Will] still doesn't suppress with /suppressclosefx 1 and /suppressclosefxdist 255.

I remember bugging this at least a year ago... :|

- NPC pathing / awareness

I swear, whenever I move more than 5m away from an escort/hostage, it will complain about "WAHWAH, I lost you".
This is especially bad when I'm running a char with any kind of stealth and even when thanks to them I'm hit with a large amound of -stealth.
But even unstealthed, they unstick very easily due to their zig zag pathing.

- pet pathing / run speed

Pets are very slow in following the player and sometimes take paths that are, uhm, difficult to understand.

- pet awareness

I shoot a mob. Mob shoots back. My pets (all of them ranged) are standing there and do nothing until I drag them closer to the mob.
If my - uncontrollable - pets would default to a "defensive" stance (with a tether range), that would be swell.

- a permanent pet window for my crab spider

My traps corr summons a FFG (uncontrollable and on a timer) and gets a pet window. Team window has the "Pet" option.
My crab summons his spiders (uncontrollable and on a timer) and gets no pet window. Team window has no "Pet" option.

I see no reason why I shouldn't get to view the status of my pets all the time.

Late to the party, didn't read all the goodness in it yet, ... restore hurricane's repel/knockback rate to its original I1 frequency for PVE in Issue 1. Thank you, that is all.
