Well, do be aware that many players ARE strongly opinionated, and you're probably going to get those opinions whether or not you welcome them. I'm willing to talk turkey, because I have seen people who really don't want to muck about with sets struggle to figure out how viable a Dominator can be for them. And I've generally said, "Look... you can play a Dominator.... and while it is up, your Domination will be just as strong as mine.... but there's no sugar coating it, it's a night-and-day performance difference when it's up vs down, and you'll have to deal with that." And I didn't really like that, because, the subtext of my message felt like I was saying "Don't bother". And well, it felt like saying that because i partially WAS saying that. But it's also true there's a Night-And-Day difference between a Scrapper who's kitted out to the nine's with set bonuses and one with only SO's. Or a blaster with a long list of set bonuses and one with only SO's. Or a Brute with the set bonuses and a brute without. Anyone who's expecting to solo steamroll +4/x8 without fully buildling for it is deluding themselves. ALL of that said. I think the idea of allowing the bar to build rebuilt while the buff is still active is a decent approach. A high +Recharge build would find that much easier than not, so an existing Permadom *probably* wouldn't find this too bad ** See Below though ** Admittedly, I say this in part because my Dom is a Villian, and I have the Villian alignment power as an "oh crap, fill my bar now" backup, and I can still use that to start off any given mission with. If I were blueside, I might be more hesitant to think about it. ** It might require adjustments to how fast the bar fills though. I have no fear that I could fill the bar to max before it runs out when soloing. but in a team when lots of other players are melting spawns, it could get dicer. I don't think you're aiming for a change that would effective discourage Dom's from teaming AT ALL, but the abilty to recharge the bar on teams would need to be evaluated.

Perhaps. But lots of people LOVE the bad guys. Vader. Palpatine. Magneto. Doctor Doom. Venom. The Joker. Thanos. Loki. Galactus. Hell, even Freddy Krueger or Jason, or mob boss from your favorite Gangster flick. The appeal to be The Big Bad, without REALLY hurting anyone for real, exists. Maybe it's not there for everyone. But it's there. And most importantly, this IS without hurting anyone for real. Pixels on a screen don't count, or don't get me started about the Battle Axe / Fire tanks "Arresting" people blueside.

I do this all the time as well. To be clear, this isn't about accidentally dragging an individual power when you meant to click it. It's about having tray 1 suddenly become tray 9 or 2 when you weren't expecting it. I fully get that /cleartray, and/or a respec would have to wipe the trays clean. I don't object to that. But if I want one row to be Tray 1, and the second row to be Tray 2, etc, let me lock those tray NUMBERS in place and protect them from accidental misclicks.

There are some P2W vendor temp powers like the Rocket Board, Floating Disc, etc. It's not a motorcycle, I admit. And they're certainly not an A-Team Van. But they're something. I wouldn't mind more, but well....let's just say I'm real glad I'M not the guy who has to comb through these forums and decide what goes onto an actionable list vs not, haha.

They can still take Ranged Damage sets and Blaster ATO sets, no? Or are you trying to load them up with even more procs than exist among those sets?

They'd have to add another entrance to the Hive, since Eden is Hero-Only. Still, I would hope that adding a new zone entrance is relatively doable. It wouldn't even have to be remotely near the Eden entrance. Diagonally opposite it would do just fine.

I'm not sure if MoG would be up for every single rage crash, but if you have lots of mobs on you when it happens, it's a great time to pop it.

Heh. I actually thought the Abyss was Redside only. Glad to know it's not, but just because the Blueside Hami raids are NEVER there, I just assumed they couldn't ....

Just shows you one man's trash is another man's treasure. Controller's feel perfectly in their element soloing to me. Admittedly, the kill speed is slow, but a Mind Controller stepping out of the shadows and turning the entire warehouse of goons against each other, or holding them helpless with his mind while he telekinetically beats them into submission, feels far stronger to me than when my controller tags along with a group and just tosses out Speed Boost, Increase Density, and Fulcrum Shift.

I don't think a support/support making the team "too OP" is a big deal. I mean, you could just invite... two corruptors. or one defender and one mastermind. Or some controllers. team would have the same support powers buffing them / debuffing enemies either way. I DO think the fact that this AT would be absolutely HELPLESS on it's own is a heavy strike against it. Yes, I know about Procs. So, maybe you could do a support/support double proc monster. But if that's the only possible way you could defeat anything, it's a pretty sad excuse for an AT. Now, options are still exactly that....options. If it's created, I can just.... not play it. And I wouldn't. So I can't totally say "This must never exist" if other people like the idea. what I find fun is not always what other people find fun. I wouldn't vote AGAINST such an AT. But I sure as hell wouldn't vote FOR it, either.

Yea. Some Tsoo boss kept terrorizing my Claws/SR on a safeguard thursday night. had to combine a few insp's for a Break Free for the first time in forever on her.

I make it a point never to comment on the feasiblity of code changes for programs that I have never seen and never supported.

hm. I've got a praetorian I'd enter in this but she's lvl 2. Guess there should be time to get to 20 by then as long as I focus this weekend and midweek.

The mastermind direct attacks are crazy expensive. For this reason, my Beast / Empath is using Kick, Boxing, Crosspunch to go in Kickboxing right alongside her doggos and kittehs. Still have Call Hawk for minimal flight denial and to help build stacks of Pack. My Ninja/Cold mastermind skips all the direct-bow attacks and just uses a 4-Proc Infrigidate, and Arcane Bolt for his "I have End to spare and don't need to cast anything else right now" moments.

Regular Costume. Civilian Clothing / Secret Identity clothes "Heavy Armor" costume. Depending. For a Tech Based hero it's easy to work in a suped-up extra heavy armor suit for when you plan on going toe-to-toe with archvillains ... but I admit find these more difficult to work in for characters that are an unkillable mutant who just heals all damage instantly. "Space" costume. Hey, you might need to go block an impending asteroid, or stop villains aboard a space station or moonbase! it could happen! (at least with AE....). Typically, these would be fully enclosed suits included a helmet, but you might not need that if your character is robotic or inhuman or has Major Mojo Magic, or otherwise does not need an atmosphere to get by. "Dark Side" costume. Maybe you're a hero. But what if you decide it's time the End Justified The Means, and want to stop with this "Arrest" business and just start slaughtering the baddies. Or maybe you go one step beyond vigilantism, and you decide you're sick and tired of Paragon City and the work being helpless and expecting you to do it all, and it's time you started looking out for A#1 for some Roguey profit. Or even beyond that, maybe those foolish imbeciles should just nominate you Emperor For Life so you can Get Things Done. Time for a change of clothes while to reflect that new attitude! "Light Side" costume. Or, maybe you started as a villain but you've been faced with a line you're just not willing to cross and had to take a stand against forces more malevolent than you could take. Or, maybe you didn't have any kind of "moral awakening", but you you have a strict code of honor that if you take a job, you DO the job, and your last job as a bodyguard REALLY pissed off Captain Mako or Ghost Widow or the Big Spider, Mr. Richter himself, so you're chilling in Paragon City for a bit, enjoying an Up-N-Away Burger while you wait for an appropriate time to return to the Rogue Isles. You might want new threads to best blend in and try to at least keep up the appearance of being "redeemed". For now. "Unleashed" / "Incarnate" costume. Or perhaps you checked out the "So, you've Decided to Become an Incarnate" pamphet and now you've got powers bordering on the godlike. Does that old spandex suit and pair of sunglasses really do you justice? Is that trenchcoat really all that when you've become a demigod and held back Elder Horrors in Dark Astoria or beyond? Maybe you want a costume that's using lots of Spectrum, and Celestial Armor pieces, and Celestial Wings to really show what you can be when you decide to drop the pretenses.

As long as we're talking alternative animations, and people who like what they have can keep it a "No Psi Blade" version, I'm on board. I personally like the idea of a Psi Blade. My first thought upon seeing the set named Psionic Melee was "Protoss Zealot". <img src="https://i.ibb.co/hd8B0Dv/Protoss-Zealot.jpg" alt "zealot"> But I wouldn't want to force anyone to change away from a look that they're already happy with. [EDIT: Sigh, I fail at image codes. What am I doing wrong there?]

The devil is in the details, so I'd really want to see how the numbers pan out. But one side benefit to this approach that I do like on the face of it, is I would no longer feel like I absolutely HAVE TO take both my T1 blast and my T2 blast. If I can choose which toggle is active at any given moment, I have more control on power selection.

I do not use ignore for anything that isn't a bot. Not on forums. Not in game, Not unless it's something liek a goldfarming bot spammer (Which thankfully, I have seen zero of these on Homecoming) I'd rather deal with the rough and tumble of the crowd. Your milage may vary. One size does not fit all.

Per Account or Per Character? (yes, the sarc-o-meter is working fine)

This is why we can't have nice things!! 😉

If I was the developers (Which I am not), I would immediately deny any request that starts with "No reasonable person can possibly disagree", on basic principle. [EDIT: and the giant font does it no favors, either.]

My first 25 characters had no overlap at all. I didn't take Ice Blast if i already had an Ice Armor tank, because I already had an "Ice" character. I went completely different directions as much as possible. My more recent characters, have had to overlap some... I now have an Ice Blast/Dark Armor sentinel as well as an Ice/Ice Tank. But still, separate *powersets* where I could manage it. At 34 characters I ran out of unique combinations, so I now also have a Savage/Regen Brute as well as a Spines/Regen Stalker, both using /Regen. And I have a Ninja/Cold MM and a Ice Control/Cold Controller, both using Cold for their secondary. However, they all have very different costumes, completely different backstories, etc.

I play a Mind/Kin. There's always something I'm supposed to be clicking every time I turn around. 😉

-nt-

So, like, Propel, but with a Hurl animation instead of a caster animation?
