I love how out of sync this conversation is. People aren't arguing that Power Creep has rendered the normal game difficulty too easy. They are arguing that it has made the MAXIMUM standard difficulty too easy.

I didn't bring the term into the conversation.

Look at it from the other side though There is only the over power creeped world the moar easies have endorsed. The only actual "manipulation" has been in that direction. No one has changed ANYTHING to be harder for anyone. Some have just suggested it probably should be.

just wanted to give kudos for this pun.

wow that is a lot of merits!

I always thought it was 3 You might want to ask Mr Turtle ===== I've had a couple hundred before, but I generally buy convertors and turn around and sell them to change them into cash on hand.

If you knockback zombies they should shatter.

A strong ST attack chain is also pretty good against them. Hit them EARLY and hard, so they don't have a chance to pop the MOG or Elude, etc. Last night I was using crushing uppercut which has the chance for hold proc which was also quite good as a control. If you wait for all the AOE spam to bringing them down past the HP level where they pop it, then you have the mess described. As Arcaneholocaust says, the game doesn't need to be any EASIER.

Doesn't pure PSI ignore old MOG?

That's true outside of the odd status hole out there, Melee Ats only really feel the weird stuff, like The Stun at the end of the ITF.

Well sure. Its boring and grindy. But so would be farming AE with a Rad/Fire Brute or whatever. Hardcore players do most of the same stuff as casual players, just spend a lot more time doing it. Then maybe add in lolpvp. People in Homecoming are generally older, with jobs and so on. They don't have WOW raid addicts kind of playtime. Not that there are any real raids in this game or any real need to spend tons of time. Some of these self described casuals who avoid IOs probably play more than I do during the week.

As an example before I found out about homecoming I was playing the Anarchy Online nostalgia progression server. We were all basically casual there too. For my weapons to level from 125 to 155 basically, I had to camp a boss camp with guildies for over 12 hours. That is casual in AO to get just your weapons for less than a week of leveling. Ignoring armor, implants and so on you also needed.

No one that plays Homecoming could a candle to what it takes to be a power gamer in live MMOs past and present. We are all casual.

All Homecoming players are casual players

There are Alphas that are not Musculature?

People like that should add to their concept to remain low level.

It depends on the powersets though sometimes. For example maybe choosing 5 defensive powers to slot lotgs would gimp them in other ways. Id lean more to someone who skips all the no brainer uniques as a starting point for self gimpiness .

The Search for Stealth gives me too many results for this general topic Is it possible to remove the Stealth invisible effect client side?

Some people are lactose intolerant. All people need to switch to soy milk custard only.

Interstate highways need to have a 15mph speed limit because of horse and buggies.

Disney bought Marvel, Thus the Netflix style/Darker grittier MCU with real character development and more street level story telling is probably done

The natural type effects thing is already sort of ruined for Stalkers since they all have to be invisible.

It was only annoying if you needed to use the Tailor at low level. Using sprint at level 5 to get to the Tailor in IH was a bit rough. Course the first KR bank mission gave a jetpack so ..
