From the overview it looks like i24 could be a good, well balanced issue. However, I'll reserve judgement until it comes out before I issue a non-Doom™ statement.

One new TAoE set, I'm still not changing my sig... but I'm curious to see what the bonuses for it will be.

Glad to see a couple of weeks ago I asked that some set bonuses be looked at and replaced like debt protection and now it's going to happen.

And while I'm happy to see more Lore pets added, they really need to come up with a way to respec Incarnate abilities.

And on a side note, was destroying Praetoria the devs way of saying "Yeah we f'ed up with Gold side"?


Who do I have to *&^% around here to get more Targeted AoE recipes added?

Technically 4 right? The new TAoE set, ATO sets 1 and 2, and the Overwhelming force set. I know those three are not specifically TAoE, but they can be slotted in those powers which at least gives more options!

Why would you want to respec? Just build new ones and switch out. I can't wait to build a Banished Pantheon Lore

Yeah I think so. They hinted a while ago that fans weren't super happy with it so it was time to box it up and move on. Shame. I was hoping for a 40-50 Praetoria zone. Still time for it, but if it happens it probably won't be for a long while

I don't count those because you can also count put them in other powers which still puts all other sets as still having more options. Also they aren't as obtainable as normal drops. Which for me is why Posi's Blast was the only set worth slotting in TAoE powers unless I splurged for Ragnarok's. I've used Detonation once on my Fire/Dark Corruptor, because Posi's Blasts were too expensive for me at the time. I'd get better use out of regular IO's but hopefully a set like Detonation will get changes to 4 of the 5 bonuses, and the addition of this set will make the options much better.

I also am curious as to the bonuses and the inherent recharge within the set itself. I think the max you can get on the normal sets is 26ish%? That's not enough IMO; at least not when you can get over 50% in the regular Ranged damage sets. Crosses fingers and hopes to get 35-40% A guy can dream can't he?

MP: I don't you have to worry much about Mental doing it. Unless he goes some place where prostitution is legal.

On I24:

Quote:
Power Pool Customization:Players who have unlocked tailor access can now change the colors of their Ancillary, Patron, and Power pools, allowing customization of powers such as Super Speed, Hasten, and Soul Tentacles.
Holy crap. About damn time, my days of glowing is gone FOREVER. Hopefully this extends to Sprint.

Like new IO sets, still wish they'd include purple sets for types that don't have purples yet.

The really important thing is being able to re-color Scorpion Shield.

I'm not a techie but I never understood why they didn't have ancillary power color customization when customization came out. If there's a good technical reason I'll shut up. lol However, all in all... I'm looking forward to the new issue. Lots of little things to keep us occupied.

My question is: Will the rest of the incarnate powers be accessible through Itrials regarding the Coming Storm or Praetorian aftermath?

I'm not sure there was a technical reason other than "It took a butt-ton of effort to rework all of the regular powers so they could be customized, to add Pool/Ancillary/Patron power customization would be a double butt-ton, and we really wanted to get 'regular' power customization out first".

They could have been working on this in the background for a few years and they're finally done.

Well as I understood the problem, it was at least partially a technical problem, there was no way for the system to know which specific pools you had. Though why they couldn't take the route of Incarnate powers (where you can customize every single ability whether you've built them yet or not) I don't know, but that was one of the things we were told.

Well if time is the only issue, then there is an efficient workaround that chicken pox helped me discover. So while I was recovering I found myself wanting to play and maybe socialize a bit at all hours of day or night. Now we all love our dear home server here, but we also know it's a low population server. That's even more pronounced at 3 am on redside.

So I realized I had moved a 50 over to virtue to help a friend prior and discovered they ran BAF and Lam 24/7. Soooo many runs.. Then we got the ability to email ourselves threads and now all but my newest 50 have all non-hybrid slots unlocked and I still have over 400 threads unclaimed. If I want them to have level shifts, then all I need do is run iTrials on Vic until a rare or very rare drops for whatever tree I want.

TLR version. For time efficiency, stockpile threads by whatever means is convenient. Time spent complaining or wishing for a magic wand is time you could be spending getting results.


It's not how many times you get knocked down that count. It's how many times you get up.

Not sure where you got "complaining" from me stating I don't have enough time versus the amount of toon I have. But just a little FYI, most of my 50s have been transferred over to Virtue months ago.

Anyhow...

I was able to get 66.2% recharge from using level 50 Annihilation's. I am more than pleased.

The title of this thread got me thinking........

I think every thread started here should be titled "Before Mental can do it.... " regardless of what it's about.

There's also the interface changes they need to add to allow for the user to enter the customization. I have heard from Devs at past conventions/meet and greets that programmer time is the most precious resource they have, and changes to the interface eat up a lot of that time.

For the pools, though, I also have a suspicion that they wanted to do this revamp for a while now, and they waited to release both them and the customization together.
