Let VEATs, or at least crabs, who take the Leviathan pool have the option for water spout. Or find a way to grant it as a temp power.
There's exactly one reason I want this and it has nothing to do with actual gameplay, only smartalec-ness. 🙂

I assume it was Originally designed this way to Save Screen real estate back in 2005. A good many of us are playing on Monitors 2x-3x larger then we did back then.
The incarnate system came into the game much later. That said, the UI in general was set up back then, so there are probably limits to what it can do.
And yeah, I wouldn't mind a system like the OP describes.

I'd have looked in the PVP section, but I don't have a build for it.

Yeah, I like doing things like that.
I also wish there were more missions with "Don't attract attention!" conditions like ... pretty sure it's Levantra's (the "strange case of arnold decker" arc, I believe.)

1. Has anyone intentionally run this (or even just one of the pair) without Alpha slotted? Yes, there's a level drop for you. But for someone looking for a challenge... or with the right team...
2. With the above, is it necessarily just alpha? If you deliberately unslot Alpha but leave Lore and Destiny at t3 or t4, are you just slightly less debuffed?

4 points handles most content.
8 is what I aimed for on, say, my fire tanks with no KB protection inherent to them.
Past that, depends what you plan to go after. I believe PVP has its own preferred levels, for instance.

Should all archetypes be able to solo?
Should all archetypes be able to solo at +4/8?
Is there a difference in performance expectations for content below level 50 versus level 50+?
Should players be using Invention Origin enhancements by a specific level or range?
Do players who can solo +4/8 at level 50 have an outsized impact on teams or other players? Maybe this is as intended?
1. Should all archetypes be able to solo?
Yes. And all of them can. More to the point, all *powersets* can. This does not mean "take down an AV in 2.6 seconds." At base levels, with no fancy builds (but realistic - not "pure healer," one attack and brawl,) atll ATs and powersets can solo content not designed for teams/leagues (and even some that is, such as posi 1.)
2. Should all archetypes be able to solo at +4/8?
No. That's unrealistic to expect. (And again, we have to go to *powersets,* not archetypes. There are definitely, for instance, controller builds that can solo perfectly happily at +4/8, but I highly doubt you'll find one for my Earth/FF, for instance, no matter how many purples and the like you put in, that wouldn't be an exercise in annoyance.)
3. Is there a difference in performance expectations for content below level 50 versus level 50+?
Honestly... not 100% sure what you're going at here. After 50, we're hitting a degree of homogenization thanks to some of the Incarnate powers - every AT will have a nuke, pets, etc. I don't expect (again, going to my earth/ff example) every AT and every powerset to suddenly jump up to the +4/8 level casually. I expect some things to be harder. I don't think we *had* content over 50 long enough to *really* set (and balance) expectations.
4. Should players be using Invention Origin enhancements by a specific level or range?
No. They should be just what they are - 100% optional. Content and expectations should not be geared around them.
5. Do players who can solo +4/8 at level 50 have an outsized impact on teams or other players? Maybe this is as intended?
I'll give this a "maybe," as they're *also* most likely running incarnate abilities which have an impact of their own. So what has what impact? That said, I would *expect* someone who's dumped the INF and tweaked a build on a character to regularly solo at those levels to have more of an impact. We can't make content harder just for them, necessarily.

Bid the price you put in on every piece. Presumably the intended user of this facility has more money than time.
Or you're only in once or twice a week (or have multiple characters.) Drop a bid for the set at (say) 2m per piece, wait, come back and *someone* may have listed one in your range.
I can see the use. I'd prefer seeing the bugs knocked out of the AH first 🙂 but I don't have an issue with the suggestion.

These would only be available in Siren's if the players faction (hero/villain) had won the zone. It is a short sighted change to benefit a small subset of players over the player base.
Mostly listing siren's because they're there - and I couldn't recall a vendor in the others, so I didn't want to muddy up the discussion when yes, I think it's annoying.

50 is ... a number. Some characters don't get played as much after it, most do. I don't generally rush for it - if I get PL'd, it's for something like just getting to the annoying forced respec on a VEAT, or getting past the low-minion-count weaker levels on a mastermind. (Or to just sit around and gab in a farm.)

Honestly, I wouldn't mind the option (on occasions when it makes sense.) I think we were starting to see a little of it (see having the option to save or kill Trapdoor, for instance,) but in all honesty it would probably work better in a single player COH RPG.
-
There are PVP specific jetpacks and the like (purchaseable in the arena, Siren's... don't recall if they're in the other zones.) They're still available to anyone.
But yes, it's a bit annoying. *shrug*
-
Yeah, they've been around for a while.
All for adding more options to it though.

I'd say that...
SpoilerThe "wrong" Pietro's there in part to tie into the multiverse they're introducing (have introduced) in the movies.
Also wondering how much of the "multiverse of madness" title ties into Wanda going nuts...

Other than this, I don't think I've seen any mention of Nictus so far.
😕
Non-Kheld-mission Nictus... I think most of the missions are blueside that mantion them. Cimerora/ITF, obviously (which... would make for some interesting Nictus storylines,) but aside from that, there's the Portal corp missions to War Wolf Earth (which is Requiem "winning," the War Wolves being the result,) a tip or morality mission to stop a Nictus shadow seed carrier, Moonfire, of course... I think SHelly Percy's mission is the one that grants you temporary "nictus" powers (more like makes you a Galaxy.)

Not hard for some people who just have a main. But if you could just have one character, what AT, powersets, name, etc would you use?
1 total or 1 per server? I'm perfectly happy to server hop for more slots. I did it back when we only had 8 on live.
Can we have multiple accounts? Because I'd probably end up with ... many accounts. Which ... I also did back on live.
Do we still have 3 builds at 50?
If I had to stick to one, probably Cat Grey, my Warshade, since she gives me flexibility. Some control, some ranged damage, ability to tank, Kheld gameplay (including quantums,) but I'd probably also rarely be on.

You don't have to cast them on all seven. If they're near each other, one application will catch them all.
This.
Just to verify something didn't break really recently, I hopped on one of my sonics. All the lowbies standing by Libs in AP got buffed when I buffed one.
-
Eh. I never strip characters completely, so I'd probably never use it, but I'm not against it either.

I'd say this is probably a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Not everyone comes to the forum, or reads the GMOTD (which, after all, you see... once?) The GMOTD is probably where it *should* be. But one way or the other someone would complain about missing it, while someone else would complain about seeing it too much, wherever you put it.
I don't think I was on when they did it, but it probably uses an admin channel (which would also be used for things like servers going down and the like,) and by default goes everywhere because it's an admin channel and you're not *supposed* to be able to ignore it. Whether it's the best choice or not... I don't know. Like I said, probably a no-win whatever they do.

Totally support this. My Fire Dom summoning Fiery Orbs is awesome. My Mind Dom, not nearly awesome. He should have a sparky ball of psionic fluff like Penelope Yin.
... I completely read this as you calling Penny Yin a sparkly ball of psionic fluff. 🙂

I'd be surprised if they're in AE right now - it takes a bit for things to get in there, typically, which was true even on live. (Though, obviously, I haven't looked for them since the issue launch.)

What mission is that from?
One of the Night Ward ones, working for the spell council. Forgetting the actual name, but it's where they want you to find out why a bunch of spells got upgraded and you fight the last man on earth.
"The Game is not Balanced around IO's"..... should it be?

You're not required to use IOs to complete any part of the game. And no, it's not necessarily a stretch, however the game is designed with the idea you'll slot *something,* and SOs drop ready to use just by playing. Then again, as ... pretty much anyone doing the classic hero challenge will mention, you can go some time without slotting SOs (or DOs) because of the cost, running under our rules.
