What would be the point of playing a dominator if a controller could not only hold things much easier but also still have the 2nd strongest buffs/debuffs? Currently its balanced in the fact that a dom is better at controls but has few debuffs but more damage than a controller but still not better damage than a blaster, scrapper or brute. This idea is like giving a tank more damage instead of bringing a brute or scrapper. If you want to hold it and provide additional damage you play a dom, if you want to sometimes hold it while also providing support/debuffs you play a controller. That's how its always been and that's why people play both. I think I might be for upping the chance of that +1 mag a bit higher but you already have a +1 mag hybrid power available that's actually quite nice and often overlooked.

You can go out and get a drivers license but that doesn't mean you're going to be a good driver. I really don't care what credentials those have developing homecoming. What I care about is if you are willing to fold when the people playing your game have problems with your greater vision rather than stick to it unmoving. Also I see the same people here that always defend the nerfs of powers they don't like but jump for joy when something gets buffed that they don't enjoy playing. Im not sure its like they are more upset about an npcs feelings getting hurt than they are the player enjoying the powers. Which is why I offer up those asked for difficulty options and hard mode tfs/trials. Difficulty options are basic stuff like +5 or higher enemy difficulties. Hard mode trials would be giving the bosses such as mother mayhem or lord recluse new abilities that make them lethal and more raid mechanics. Get out of this pink glow asap or it will kill you or if too many players get hit by this the av instantly heals or 1 shots half the league. I was speaking with leandro on discord about implementing hard mode stuff and it was a good conversation that appeared to be going somewhere but covid happened and he disappeared / deleted his discord account. Truth be told you could nerf the ever living hell out of all our powers and the good groups would still find a way to win and not be satisfied but soloing stuff would be beyond not fun. The game lacks hard mechanics in what's intended to be group because it uses the same balance as it does in all other content. How to beat what is perceived as hard stuff in coh is just throw buffs, debuffs and heals at it until it dies and never bother to break line of sight or step out of that fire dot burning you. The keys trials and mom trial started to add a couple things but stopped just short of making it truly difficult. Finally what's easy to me is hard to someone else. You get this all the time when you see people asking in help chat to fight something as easy as Silver mantis; yes those players do exists that find enemies that easy to be challenging or someone wiping on a itf (I really don't see how this possible rofl)

I literally gave them hows, whens and whys of ways to challenge us without nerfing. I do this everytime they have more nerfs planned and instead they ignore it and do it anyway. Kinda like how you ignored it this time "Powers development should instead be going to giving us new powers or proliferating npcs powers, making new powers for incarnate and tf bosses to make them more challenging in hard mode trials. You could be giving us more difficulty options and those mentioned hard mode trials and that would give us the challenge we need instead of breaking everything."

Why is it short sighted because I won't keep quiet and accept every nerf and just be glad that I can play here? So what am I supposed to do when every power I like is nerfed and useless and when everyone I like playing with quits? Unlike you I'm not going to blindly accept change without voicing my opinion.

This has everything to do with live because you're changing things from live that which hasn't been changed in many issues because you feel is overperforming, underperforming and broken. Making all melee cones and aoes characters smaller for dps characters but larger for the now over buffed tank is just one travesty. The mess that's currently on closed beta is seriously disgusting and I hope you'll not ignore but take what feedback you get and really act upon it this time. Powers development should instead be going to giving us new powers or proliferating npcs powers, making new powers for incarnate and tf bosses to make them more challenging in hard mode trials. You could be giving us more difficulty options and those mentioned hard mode trials and that would give us the challenge we need instead of breaking everything.

Eventually it will only be the volunteers playing if you continue to break and destroy our characters with what you feel is balanced. Not every player posts on forums, facebook or goes to playtests and eventually they find something they were enjoying is now useless to play and then another character, and another and another is made useless. At that point they come on here and complain and see it gets them no where because the volunteers have spoken so its law. Don't be surprised when they quit.

Making the same mistakes paragon made all development wasted on balancing, nerfing and dictating how others play instead of making new content, new powers, proliferating more powers to use. You guys never will learn.

Well I'm glad to be proven wrong if it means more power for a player. Rather have buffs than nerfs.

Yeah i can literally go there everyday and its dead I think it has something to do with the event when its broken though and when is it not broken without a gm setting up another zone. I should also note it can be pushed around by yourself, pets etc so it may have been knocked into a wall.

Even if you could slot a flight enhancemen it wouldn't affect your flight speed; 58.63 mph is flight speed cap at level 50 without a single enhancement slotted. Best thing to slot in flight is either winters gift or zephyr knockback protection. Flight speed cap is increased only by having afterburner and with afterburner you have to put the io in afterburner to get maximum flght speed cap or just use prestige jump pack/steam jump and put a lotg proc in afterburner instead. You can swap between the two in big zones like shadow shard and easily make it across the entire zone.

Atos procs and bonuses typically only affect the archetype powers and not other powers; it should even basically be in the description of the ato proc

I've never known of scorpion shield to allow you to slot resist unless it did long ago when villain patrons were first added. I think all self heals let you slot resist except for power sets that also have dullpain because dullpain lets you slot resist for toxic.

it's been a couple months since i made a mastermind but back then they slotted just fine in pet powers. Of which I only slot for the recharge bonuses in a few powers. Sounds like you have the non superior version slotted somewhere and despite mids hero designer letting you do this the actual game will not. the 6 pieces from the set are unique and you can mix and match them but can only use one of each enhancement. Meaning you can't use both acc/dam superior and rare version; you can only use one or the other.

They drop because people are opening alot of packs. I still buy mine at 1.5 mil rather than waste time on market lag and retyping numbers so if you're patient you'll get some money out of me the next build I do.

Thanks for reminding me how much better the old cot looked. Dev1: Rather than update the textures, lets make them look spiky because thorns right? Dev2: Yeah the players will love that.
