Greycat

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.

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.

... 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.)

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.

It'd be fairly useless as a *mission* map, but for a few other uses - the destroyed plane (map name IOM DESTROYED PLANE) would be a nice map to have.

It is a bit of extrapolation, and I acknowledged that. That said, it's hard to argue that "who can be mezzed" *is* becoming a smaller and smaller circle - not even of specific ATs, but of powersets inside those ATs, and then of course Clarion's effects. Which are, granted, temporary... but given how much Incarnate content is also league-size content, that temporary-ness is offset somewhat (and that's ignoring that whatever might mez *you* has an entire league's worth of targets to choose from as well, making it less likely that you'll be that target. After all, that's kind of the point - or one of them - of tanks on teams, as well - to gain that attention and push through it so that your squishies don't have to. The tank becomes almost literal mez *protection* for everyone else.) The ramp up ... hmm. Is an interesting idea. I don't think it would have a huge impact on *my* playstyle, since where it ramps up is probably where I"m in a longer fight and would hit domination anyway (or, hey, teamed and the mez love is getting passed around) but it wouldn't be detrimental either. I'd be interested in seeing what it does on test, at the very least.

At that point, the remaining ATs have part-time (Defiance leaving certain powers free to use, Khelds having a few options) or set-dependent (most of the remaining squishy-classes having access to FF or Sonic, at least) mez protection. Do we start having the "why is mez only affecting some percent of these ATs" argument then? Do we start talking about removing NPC mez from the game - or alternatively jacking it up to such high levels chasing certain builds or having specific sets on a team is required? Yes, I know, "oh no, slippery slope, can't say that," but just because it has a name doesn't mean it's necessarily false. The arguments for removing it from the others at that point grow. Especially with access to it for everyone once we hit incarnates, so it's not just this specific comment that leads me to bring it up. Mez's binary-ness in the game has been a discussion for a while now, after all. Does the whole control system need a rework - both NPC and player side? And what kind of rework would *work* and keep things interesting without being able to be completely invalidated and bypassed with a few IOs?

There's plenty that *can* be taken from it. But, hey, people want to take it that way, not my problem.

That makes more sense, then. I don't think it's needed in most zones, but I would have absolutely no problem with the ability being there. (And would definitely not argue the next time I'm sent up to waaaay north IP.)

I've been enjoying them, especially the tendancy to in tone during the episodes. I just wish they'd cut the credits down to something reasonable for such a short show. Keep the extra long set for the last ep.

Again, you are assuming. You do not know me. You quite obviously do not play with me. You're only making yourself look bad. Edit: Also, hint for you. "Choose not to" is not "Can't." "Can't" is 100% your assumption. I do not like the playstyle and what perma requires in choices and builds. I do not like the whole "Doms must have perma or they're broken/you're playing them wrong" mindset. I very much prefer the "Do I use this now or not" decision process (which I even stated clearly in my original post, so your assumptions are 100% yours and your desire to be insulting,) as well as "Power with a cost" which has been taken away from various powers that used to have associated crashes. That, frankly, is more information about me than your responses, assumptions and attitude about me deserves.

True, not necessary to be rude. On the other hand, you could have just said "Oops, sorry, wrong group, I was looking for an invite to that posi. Have fun!" and left right at the beginning, too. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, and I don't think I've run into anyone who's gotten offended by it. I (kind of) get hating to leave right away, but on the other hand, it *was* the wrong group.

Been playing them since COV came out. I understand them just fine. Also, you do not get to dictate who can and cannot respond to a thread. If you have an issue with a reply, speak to a mod.

Keep making assumptions. It's amusing.

If that's what you took from it, that's on you.

Or Jar Jar. Jar jar in a jar. ... ok, copyright, but still.

Use your controls better than that.

Neither. I rarely have hasten, for one, and clarion.. eh.

Given I play without it and don't have issues with my doms survivability... no, it won't. Use your controls. The fact this statement has been made tells me too many people rely on permadom as a crutch.

Nothing can touch you if they're stuck in a block of earth/ice/mass of vines/etc.

I think dominators are fine, in general. They don't need nukes. I'd be perfectly fine with people never being able to permadom on their own, though. Make friends with a kin or three if you want it that bad. Absolutely zero of mine are perma, zero of mine on live were perma, zero of mine will be perma. On a team, it's up and ready enough. Solo, I like the gameplay of deciding if/when to use it. And for all those buffs/debuffs for controllers, doms solo better, and don't have to worry that they picked a secondary that's just not needed or particularly useful in the later game.

Mind/fire dom. Always.
