Which is why I said most of it wasn't aimed at you. I apologize if I did not make that clear enough. Your sentence was interesting to me, and I riffed off it. Coming up with a way for both sides to either get or keep what they want via a change is a greater way to deal with this, which I can absolutely agree with.

While preventing others from making their preferred builds. To me, the idea that a change is bad because it would affect one side's personal preferences isn't really fundamentally different than someone asking for a change that they think is good that would enable the other side's personal preferences. The key difference is that one side currently has the high ground known as the status quo, which is then used to bludgeon idea people into submission. This pattern is repeated ad infinitum every goddamn day. For fuck's sake, some of the denizens of this forum don't can't or won't even say "good idea." They say things like "I would not argue against this" instead. This is where the perception issues in this forum come from, because instead of saying "cool, I like it," they say shit like "I wouldn't oppose it" which can lend to the perception that they somehow control the outcome when it reads like an imperious form of "I would allow that." Stormwalker, the majority of this isn't aimed at you specifically. I just quoted your post because that specific sentence struck me as an interesting point that you made.

Oh look. Right on track. Idea, followed by shitting on idea in condescending fashion while quoting rule empowering shitting on idea in condescending fashion when questioned on why the shitting on idea in condescending fashion is happening. Thread devolution until next idea. Repeat. PS. I like the idea OP. Personally I think every set whether primary, secondary, or eighteenthiary should be balanced in this exact fashion. Snipe at x level. Status Resistance at x level. Build up at x level. But I'm monstrous like that.

Lol. "I thought all opinions mattered"

I'm pretty sure that's whataboutism.

Perhaps gatekeeping is the wrong term. I propose a new term, one we can use to keep from arguing the definition of the word and using that to invalidate the feelings of posters in the Suggestions and Feedback forum. The term I am suggesting will be Billying. Not to be confused with Bullying. Billying is best observed in the Adam Sandler movie Billy Madison. Here is an example of Billying: Random Poster: Hey you guys I love City of Heroes and I have this idea! S&F forumites: Poster, what you've just suggested is one of the most insanely idiotic things we have ever read. At no point in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. We reject your idea out of hand, and my god have mercy on your soul. Random Poster: Fuck, you could have just said no or nothing at all. City of Heroes fucking sucks.

If it were an auto or passive power i would see it more like Quickness from Super Reflexes.

If "everyone" uses hasten with enough recharge to get it perma, and puts it on autofire, wouldnt just making hasten a toggle "fix" this?

Can we add other flying minipets to this request like the ws/pb squid pets (for example)?

What happens to all the character names that this would churn through? Do they autodelete upon logoff if defeated? If so, doesnt remaking the same name skirt the rules? Wont, if you suck at this game, you all hit the perceived "all the good names are taken" wall faster?

Imo, given gamers and their fascination with pushing boundaries of rules, decorum, and common sense, such a creation would lead to meta-pvp where people would get set up to die, i.e. "accidentally" pulling too many mobs, dissolving teams when teammates are sidekicked and in an area their true level should have no business being in, and god forbid you enter an actual pvp zone. Presumably making 50 mean something again precludes exp boosters and not grouping for fast easy exp to get there, and with everyone slowly, inexorably giving in the paranoia of everything in the game trying to end their career, no more teams form, the alphas at the top start feeding on each other, and there's nothing left to do but dfb and street sweeping in Atlas Park. Congratulations, youve made love not warcraft.

This should go in the Suggestions forum where it can get the attention and evisceration it needs. No thank you.

Got 'em. Thanks for the tip.

Do you have to defeat them all on the same run or can you get some and repeat and get it that way?

Ps when i said 9 tier 9 powers would be insane, i meant in the bad, "this should not be "way. I feel like language betrayed me on this one. Sorry for any confusion.

I mean, if at x level i could choose a primary or secondary tier 1 power from whatever setand at the next level choose a tier 2 power, etc, that might be ok. Could mix up a nice batch of ranged and melee powers without "needing" an epic set. That could be fun. But no, 9 tier 9 powers would be insane

This is a wonderful description of the location, denizens, and issues that inhabit that specific forum. I haven't seen a more accurate description that didn't also include the words "a wretched hive of scum and villainy."

I make a motion to rename Adrenal Booster Brawndo.

It's got what plants crave!

I kind of like the idea of the taunt being replaced with a ranged attack that fits the power type (fire, ice, energy, a rock, whatever) with the taunt added in. Maybe scrappers could get an ST version, brutes a Cone, and Tankers a TAOE? Obviously not a nuke but a little something damagy could be nice.

Looks like he snarkles to me.
