Glacier Peak

Bring back leveling pacts!

I agree that Absorb Pain is overkill in 99% of use cases (outside of PvP and endgame content). It doesn't need buffed, if anything the damage to the caster should scale to the amount healed. The rest of the set works amazing in 99% of the content as well.

I'll be there as well. I can assist in anyway as I already have all the PvP badges. I have a healer on separate account if we need, or I have my namesake, which really helps with -regen on AVs. Names of my characters if you see them are: Glacier Peak Empirical Psychochronokinesis

Exactly! Spike damage chews through everything when there is diminishing returns in play. Empathy and Pain Domination give teams one of, if not the only response to spikes of damage that can easily reach 2,000 or more on a player in less than a second.

Number of times I get to use it is niche? Okay you're seriously trolling. Everyone gets damaged, everyone needs healing.

No

Empathy, and its counterpart Pain Domination are not simply buffing sets -they are both healing and buffing sets. Great Empathy players will understand the side effects of Absorb Pain and know how to counter it. Perhaps as newer players learn and understand the powers in the set, they will be better at minimizing the risks. My Level 50 Empathy/Water Defender can provide as much healing as most Archetypes have CAPPED health, WITHOUT Power Boost: And can increase that even more with Power Boost: So, no Empathy is not in a bad place, Absorb Pain works amazingly, in fact I would say it is a touch over powered and could use additional damage to the user to bring the risk versus reward in line. And look at it with Power Boost! The damage to the user doesn't even scale with the increase healing provided. I mean, I just healed that Vanguard HVAS for 2290 HP, and it only took 108 damage from me. That's a 21:1 ratio of healing compared to damage against the user.

Yeah, no. That is completely inaccurate and I stand by my opinion. Edit: I will go a step further! It doesn't matter how much buffed resistance, defense, damage, to-hit, recharge, or accuracy buff sets can provide - eventually there is a ceiling on their impact. Team with multiple buff sets, even at lower levels, there will be likely be diminishing returns on their impact. With a set like Empathy, one player can help their team hit those previously mentioned caps, while also providing uncapped healing. There is literally nothing in the game that can stop a player (outside of special end game content) from receiving healing. Meanwhile, debuffs exist that can reduce all of those previously mentioned buffs. Nothing is reducing my healing on my teammates (outside of special end game content). Using the 1% of the game example of 'hard mode' to justify a change across the other 99% where the set is amazing is just nonsense to me.

There are no new patch notes available for the live shards at the moment. A new patch will be released when it is ready to be tested on the beta Brainstorm shard. As I said in the other thread where you asked the same question, you can find the Beta patch notes here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/73-beta-patch-notes/

They will be made public when they go to the beta Brainstorm shard for testing here: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/73-beta-patch-notes/

Love this look! I may even borrow the majority of this costume on my Storm/Water character:

About a week ago, someone posted an identical thread: If search isn't giving you the right answers, take a look at the Dev Digest section of the forum. Specifically, look at blue names like Cobalt Arachne, Faultline, Piecemeal, Captain Powerhouse, and possibly Naomi & Booper. They have either replied to, or posted their own information relating to Page 3, Issue 27. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/discover/53/ And they've also posted these teaser images as well in various places: Page 3 teaser collage!

I don't share your opinion on the set, so I don't support this suggestion. Empathy is in a great place, same with Pain Domination.

Last year's event started on October 6th. I have confidence that it will start when the Homecoming team is ready to activate it.

Well, to be fair those changes were what the developers intended, they just weren't well received initially. And I'm not trying to be nit picky, but my question is meant to be rhetorical. The devs listen to player feedback, the end results may not be what everyone wants, but it's what they think is best for their version of the game.

I don't remember any examples of getting badly burned from promises like you're describing, could you provide a little clarity? I know a lot of things are play tested on the beta, and if the changes aren't working as intended, they are scaled back or removed entirely.

The calendar file on each of those weeks provides users with the scheduling details so they don't have to rely on the ingame or forum event calendar.

It's really enjoyable, I've only played mine to level 10. Character name is "Guns N Roses" 🤣

I say blimps! In the air, on the ground, under the water!

Level 1's be like... 😱
