But it doesn't answer why put something in a hold if it can't hit or do serious damage to begin with. We have to begin the discussion with how twenty years of MMO meta theory has rendered CC irrelevant outside of special mechanics.

I'm on a phone keyboard so I can't quite elaborate as much as I'd like. But at +5/+6 your controls won't be as effective due to diminished accuracy and higher resist. And it's not that much of a help for your tanks and DPS that are already def-capped. And then you get to the guys with the purple patch and, well. You'll need a second controller or dominator on board, and at that point why bother when you can get more out of a defender or corrupt? What would help controllers more would be some manner of defiance bar or such that would make CC useful in a DPS boatrace.

Certain posters making the same posts over and over again is not 'most people'. You said 'most people'. Prove it.

'Most people' I seem to have missed when we held that caucus, can you point us to the results?

But why.

I was going to write something like this last night. But yeah, if you think controllers have problems now, increasing difficulty will only make most of them less welcome at endgame once the meta kicks in. Signed, someone livin' la vida Ill/Sonic and lovin' it.

A bit late, but I'll advocate Ill/Sonic for grouping. Sonic isn't popular for legit solo reasons, but at low level your team +Res is handy. At high level, your team -Res is a godsend.

They're too busy chatting up the Russian spy and Bilderberger the next cube over about tomorrow morning's chemtrail plans.

So everyone else's difficulty goes up because you're unable to use the turn off XP function. I'll avoid the reaction image but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one making the same face right now.

Teaming up is supposed to be more rewarding. Its basic MMO design.

Would this affect all taunt auras or just Blazing Aura?

My Ground Zero doesn't appear to be chasing anyone off, do psuedopets work differently? EDIT: I'm a tank and this looks to be a brute issue, so disregard my experience. Though I'm curious if any /Rad brutes might be experiencing the issue.

Well this was an unexpected birthday gift. I'll be out tanking tonight now for sure. 😃

The thing is, MA was fixed. It's just that the fix was Street Justice. I think the bigger issue is that the older powersets could not only use a rework, but also some gimmicks like combos, forms, or such. But I'm not sure how popular that would actually be.

I'll raise up the problem CO had with their high scores: How do you measure aggro? Control? Buffs and debuffs? How do you keep the scoreboard from becoming DPS focused?

Conversely, utilizing resources on additional content that will be ignored by the greater playerbase may not be the best course. More so if said resources are sparse already. Signed, A Guild Wars 2 veteran

New discussion for someplace else: Why aren't stalkers more popular even after i23.

I'm just going to do stuff with my Rad/StJ and have fun.

EDIT: Nevermind, the downtime is for security updates. I know how those go. 😵

Well, yes. If we can arrange MSR teams on the regular, then why not BAF or TPN? Why smacking around Council on PI and not DA repeatables?

I'll believe this game needs more difficult content when I hear more incarnate raids and Dark Astoria teams forming over LFG.

I remember high score drama when it was a thing at Champions Online. Not sure why y'all want to bring it here.

Release candidate? Aw yiss, it's happening!

I helped steamroll an ITF with GM Miss, then helped steamroll Hami afterwards, and then helped Statesman celebrate his resurrection by stomping a bunch of AVs. No crashes or lags I noticed on my end, it all went very smooth! And then I logged off to go order up some Hawaiian pizza. 😉
