Had never considered this. Its very true. Also kind of makes his success at hiding rather dubious. At night, sure. In the day? It seems unlikely since vision is far longer ranged than any other sense.

Never tried Rad anything. But congrats!

What really matters in the MCU version is that Karen Page is a badass/wesley killer.

Y'all wait long enough for the Tanker to take the alpha?

Never bothered. Ive used skype for some non gaming stuff. But my kid and I used text even when playing Secret World with both of us in the same house. And that game is a lot harder than this one.

Most Eats/Veats skip their "At" specific arcs already ...

PPD / Resistance characters would be cool

True. But that doesn't mean they couldn't be sent on a mission like those Blood Widows were. Kheldians are even easier. They go from being an entire wave of strange visitors in the open .. to being rare ones that are not.

Interesting idea. Why not? Longbow and Vanguard Operate in the Rogue isles. Villain groups already attack Villain players. Even Arachnos (lol) Assuming, as always, it can be done easily. But leave Null the Gull, because you may want to switch you alignment even with this idea.

I think this is the core of the disconnect. All sets have "problems", COH is a quirky kludge job from a game design standpoint. The "problems" in many ways amount to the sets weaknesses. All sets need them. Otherwise everyone will just play the best set. Which this proposal would likely establish SR as.

Which was my point. Changes to powers and powersets tend towards as minor as is feasible. And what equals "minor" usually depends on how the set is performing. SR is competitive. Its not where Regen is. Its not where Energy Aura was. The ones that actually get made anyway. Your point about the new set basically what Willpower is to Regen. The worst part about SR in my opinion is how late AOE protection comes for Scrappers vs Brutes (35 vs 20), they obviously recognized this was an issue when they ported SR to Brutes. Having played both, the Brute progression is far better. That one change means a lot.

Why not? There are Blood Widows which are already part of the Crusader Story Line.

I think between AE xp farms and the 2xp buffs this suggestion has functionally already been implemented.

I was thinking that we know even the best sets seem to need the level bump. Then after that they can see about the other problems. Plus its a small, simple change that isn't asking for a lot.

This would be so awesome. And I agree. Have also suggested it in the past. It wouldn't change the power of Khelds any, but it would make playing one so much better. Maybe its not doable I get it, but if it was ...

I'll give you a 9/10 on the Passive Aggressive scale, its nearly as good as something my mother would say. But we should probably deduct overall points for the implied attack on my sexuality. Which doesn't really bother me, but its a rather passe line of attack these days. ====== Energy Aura had a pretty decent revamp, true. Nothing like this. And Energy Aura was a notably poor performer. SR isn't. And even after this, two of its best powers *also* come very late into the build. Energize was a big part of the buff and it comes at the same level as Evasion. And many still think SR is better than Energy Aura after the boost. And finally Capt Powerhouse seems to have suggested that EA was overbuffed anyway, and thus not portable to tankers in its current form. Interesting you mention Invulnerability since it has some of the same issues SR supposedly does. No END recovery power and Invincibility coming pretty late.

The point was people like to ask for all sorts of crazy crap. But crazy crap never gets implemented. Small incremental changes *sometimes* occur but people rarely suggest those, and they don't seem the ones making suggestions in this subforum. Think about the various issues. At no point in the history of City of Heroes issues have such sweeping changes been made to a powerset as has been suggested in this thread. Not even Regen has had the kind of overhaul you are proposing. And Regen is so bad it gave us Willpower. But hey, if attacking me makes you feel better, Knock yourself out.

I think one possible reason none of these suggestions ever get implemented is they basically make requests the way spoiled kids ask for Xmas presents. Mom and Dad: What do you want for Xmas DJ? Kid: A Porshe! Mom and Dad: Uhm.. Maybe a Bicycle? Kid: How about a Mustang! Mom and Dad: We could do a Scooter? Kid: KEWL! But I want a Brand New One. And not some cheapo model either. Maybe a Ducati .. Captain Powerhouse probably be like "My wife wouldn't even let me get a new pair of cross trainers"

Shockwave is insanely good. It only does less damage than spin because spin got heavily buffed at one point. It does do the normal damage for being a cone at its recharge. PLUS it has 2X the arc of Energy Torrent, its closest Analog.

Jranger approved of this thread.

Buff pet levels by 1 on the test server. Test it.

It would be nice if it followed the Brute progression. I'd be in favor of fixing that. Elude should wait until they figure out to do with all the other T9s like it (unstoppable, overload, etc, etc.)

When I watched that movie the first time I was alarmed at how old Han Solo was getting .. Now I am amazed at how young he looked in it.

This game is EZ mode. For brutes / scrappers / stalkers / sentinels / SOA. Why wait on the tank? For tankers: "Protect" the team? From what? For the others? Well at least there is some risk in your gameplay.
