That's likely a reality of the market and the way enhancements are bucketed, meaning a Level 48 enhancement can be listed by a seller, but a buyer can see 1 enhancement available at 49 or 50. Special Origin and Single Origin enhancements have a level cap of 53. Invention Origin enhancements have a level cap of 55.

Agreed. Infrigidate is a real outlier, perhaps even the best example of how much procs can change a power's risk versus reward formula. I'd say Burn has a lot preventing the HC devs from taking a balance pass over it. The proc conundrum is separate though in balance considerations IMO. Then there's potentially instigating a community that has grown accustomed to how it can perform and an actual bug with upfront damage, or multiple pet casting, not quite sure.

Procs are to blame for a lot of unbalanced outcomes in this game. It's really a shame because at least for a little while the damage meta was tame. Now every attack power is slotted the same, with global recharge abound and @Diantane rippin up the threads to call it lame.

You can adapt or complain, it doesn't make a difference.

I like the set and its mechanics and I think change is good. I'd recommend learning the mechanics and adapting it to a new playstyle or just continue to complain about it on the forums, or whatever change you don't like this week.

Interesting points, does anyone have context from the previous legacy devs as to why Burn was the way it was? I do remember it acted differently at launch, it caused Fear on enemies within the patch if I remember correctly?

Yeah Burn is the power that makes the set feel offensive.

I like to think of it like trying to make a movie by recording over and editing the same VHS tape. Then years later, you want to make some scenes better, so you re-shoot with modern digital cameras and the only way to insert those new frames in to the original is to cut the film negatives out of the VHS tape and then glue on the new scenes. And nobody has a VHS player anymore.

I don't get the disdain for past developer studios. It was a business arrangement. Way I see it - the consumer gets to have fun and the publisher gets paid. When it wasn't fun anymore for the consumer, they canceled their subscription. When it wasn't making enough money for publisher, they canceled the game.

Oh okay. Then if zone events normally reward merits, this suggestion makes sense.

Recharges so fast, drops multiple pets, tons of DoT, enormous damage - is there even a risk versus reward mechanism at play here or is it too hot to fix without an uproar from the player base?

Do zone events normally reward merits?

Question in the title, specifically how much outside of storing in emails or other means I'm not aware of. Thanks!

Oh that makes sense. The way I read and responded to your post originally was because I thought you were asking about slotting after crafting.

I used to think he was called Black Alley Brawler, my dyslexia was strong back in the early 2000's.

Shivans! And space!

Per Ashington's awesome search-fu:

Still waiting for someone to provide a screenshot of Back Alley Brawler when he was black.

Yeah I voted! The HC Team deserves the props and recognition for their continued support and innovation in this game.

Working as intended. There are powers that only except certain sets. For example, Sprint only accepts [Running & Sprints] or [Leaping & Sprints] IO sets, Running Speed enhancement TOs, DOs, SOs, Basic IOs, etc. Thrust is a Running-only IO set, which Sprint does not accept. Thrust can be slotted in travel powers like Super Speed and Speed of Sound.

Yeah @Dacy base tour videos are the paragon of player created content. I tried my hand at making a video of some content from this game and put it in my signature, but it's no where near the stuff dedicated people make to show how awesome this game is!

Oh man did you see the sequel? Couldn't watch most of it because my eyes were cringing so hard 😬

Be excellent to each other, yes that is what is intended for this community.

The return of the king, the true Emperor of PvE gameplay. His wisdom will flourish a god-like generation of players who need not worry about what other players do or say. For his word is truth. Ha, but seriously always a good time reading this satire.

There are streaming services online dedicated to people playing video games. Some of these steamers garner more views than the Superbowl in a given year.
