I see you. Swiftly across the rainbow bridge, where we shall meet again.

The server's T9 crashed.

Agreed. This is what i meant. You put it more clearly and succinctly, thanks. Make the absorb last the full duration please while you're at it.

Practiced Brawler is a power used to proactively keep from being mezzed being saddled with an absorb designed to be used reactively. Which, to me, is bad. Now, I am aware that pb can be used reactively and in a break free fashion. On the other hand, there's too many guides and asks for how to keep it up 100% of the time without using autofire for me to believe thats the majority.

Don't nerf Sentinels with the PB/MB change. And if you are going to proliferate MB from Sentinels to Tankers, Brutes, Stalkers, and Scrappers, just do a direct port. Same functionality, same everything. That's what people actually asked for. The way it has been done makes it feel like a punishment somehow. MB was changed "because people didn't understand the power description" when it came to putting the status resistance into the toggles. It feels like "oh, you wanted MB, but now it's something different, and PB is objectively better. Also, PB being better means it is no longer optimized. Good luck not getting mezzed before you click for your new absorb power because you're used to having it on autofire or mapped to some other key to ALWAYS BE UP, so enjoy your crappy absorb." You're not changing powers with these changes, you're changing playstyles, and that kind of makes me mad.

If we like what we have, and dont take it anymore, and some who didnt start to take it its sort of a wash innit?

I'd rather they kept the crash and left them alone rather than what they altered them to.

I guess we'll just call the set "Reflexes" now.

Yeah, I'm pushing about 300% regen already also. While Bill z is not wrong, id also like to point out that if i wanted to have to click that often on my secondary, I'd have taken regen. Impossible, no. Able to be dealt with in other ways like macros and keybinds, no. Annoying, absolutely. If I'm clicking a secondary power, I'm not clicking an attack. One question, however: Can new elude be clicked while mezzed and used as a break-free, the way that Practiced Brawler can be? Update: I think maybe it can, but I wasn't sure if clicking it broke the mez or if the mez time just ran out on its own. I tried several times in RWZ but im not entirely sure. I also wasn't impressed by the regen boost. I clicked Elude at low health, felt as if I was going to drop anyway, and clicked destiny rebirth instead to keep me up while testing. Keep in mind that this was with the roughly 300% regen i have going normally from set bonuses.

Elude specifically, i love the movement increase, but what I REALLY love is the recovery bonus it gives. I dont proc bomb, but i do fight avs, and 3 minutes of +Recovery vastly outweighs the extra defense and can enable me to take down a hard target. Given the recent efforts to Increase Difficulty Levels, i feel this is the wrong time to institute what are net t9 nerfs. The idea in making the difficulty harder is to go back to teamwork and tactics, right? So why cut legs out from under our "oh shit" powers when you're giftwrapping "oh shit" difficulty to us? Im short, for me, the issue is 100% the duration.

I do not feel that 30 seconds is an acceptable duration for a t-9. If this is designed to get people to take the power (Elude), it's now convinced me not to. If I wanted 30 seconds of what this power now offers, I could hit eat some skittles. Then I could take more skittles out of email and never need this power again. Also, can we not just have one Mez resist power that's a click, and one that's a toggle, since that's what people actually wanted, and then add the absorb into both? It feels like the people who asked for a PB toggle are being punished with a worse version of a power for having the audacity to ask for it. Which means I guess someone asked for a different Elude too, since we appear to have gotten a worse version of that as well. I am very unhappy with the changes to SR. While the changes appear to technically "work" as you have designed them, I do not like them at all.

Well, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy.

Heh. Oughta be Lying-in-Statesman then.

A lot of truth to this. Those that primarily PVE got their game back. When weighed against the changes to PVP that were made in...I13 was it maybe? The ones that changed how everything worked? In all honesty and sympathy, PVPers never got their game back the way we did.

Didn't like this model in SWG, don't like it here. Sorry my friend, but it's a hard pass for me. One could foresee an unending series of popups saying "Accept duel?" leading to griefing. Then comes a request for auto-decline. Then comes carving out areas where dueling simply can't be done to preserve areas for roleplay, leveling, etc. Then the asks for duels to be restricted to 2-3 levels in difference, so that incarnates dont slaughter people in Atlas park who don't know any better. How do we handle sudden duel requests changing the way our powers work, as pve and pvp work fairly differently. Then the tells calling people names for not accepting duels. I like to believe that the CO* community is better than all that but... I think I've seen too much to think this is nice. However, i believe this thread will soon be moved to suggestions and feedback section where we learn (again) that forum pvp is the dominant pvp.

Love the Warning.

Not for me. I've decided I don't like multiverses. One sacred timeline or gtfo. Can't we all just collectively agree to tell one story and attribute changes to the cast with having a new artist on the (live action or animated) comic book?

I'd pay 10 mil for the AE customizable "summon a buddy" power mentioned above. That's a damn fine idea. Bonus points if i can use commands to make it talk or do emotes and stuff. Checks my roleplayer box.

Excellent. So a shield can canonically be made of energy. Should work great for Shield Defense.

An aura is an aura, but a shield is a shield. Do you even game bro?

I think if an invisible or even visible energy/force shield can exist as a 1st level spell it can work in Paragon City. I mean, for fucks sake, if your suspension of disbelief will allow you to believe that a shield, in your left hand, can protect you from a grenade, sword, or energy beam from behind and to the right (all things shield defense does), why can we not believe in this?
