Super Inspirations can be converted to cold hard cash so pretty misleading to act like those are worthless.

Conversion of salvage to Empyrian merits
arcane replied to MsSmart's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
This would just make farming empyreans a little too easy I think… thinking of all of my various spreadsheet needs and thinking of all of the toons that have scored T3/T4 drops after finishing their own incarnates and reading your very generous exchange rates where a lucky drop can be worth more empyreans than 3 veteran levels… sounds a little too close to winning the lottery IMHO. Sorry Sue 😞 EDIT: In general I am not opposed to some new way to deal with old threads and incarnate components, but the jump from selling immortal recoveries to the particular proposed exchange rates above is way too great. I have given you a thumb left so as not to dishearten you with a thumb down. -
5 Tally Reward Merit and Empyrean Merit Currency
arcane replied to MsSmart's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Dug up this thread for you Sue it’ll change your life I promise -
To put it another way: At the end of the day, due to Kheldians’ access to 85% res caps and crashless nukes, I am basically only okay with this happening if the word “mediocre” is in fact truthful. And the basis of my stance is that I don’t believe it to be truthful. It doesn’t pass the common sense smell test to anyone who understands how much 700 DPS is in this game. The most benign explanation I can think of is that the people that make this claim are such efficient powergamers that by now they genuinely forget that people play Scrappers that aren’t Bio Armor + High DPA Primary.

This post is reflective of actual reality, and actually contends with things I have said. Amazing job 5 stars. You are the literal first. Lauci maybe I have your specific opinion wrong because you guys act like such a unified collective. Sounds like you’re actually in agreement with me on the part that matters to me. Maybe we’ll hear about it the next time someone tries to sell us that particular false claim. Good stuff.

What res/def and other things to softcap for 4 Star TFs
arcane replied to OrionX's topic in General Discussion
You do not need to build for res/def bonuses on 4 star builds at all. Outside of contributions from primaries/secondaries like Arctic Fog, my 4 star squishies would be built with about 0% extra resistance and 5% extra defense (combat jumping + maneuvers or stealth). On my 4 star taunters it makes me feel better to also take the uniques (glad armor shield wall etc) but still no bonuses after that. -
Not really. I used to care about diversifying my experience with epics and would have plenty of success with others. Gloom/Dark Obliteration is famously good, many like Electrifying Fences/Ball Lightning, and Energy has many uses too. I’ve just streamlined my stuff around the best of the best in the last couple of years. My Tankers all use Fire, my Doms all use Fire, my Blasters all use Fire with one exception, my Corrs/Defs all use Psy or Soul. There are plenty of good options, I’m just no longer interested in experimenting that way. 4 star building syndrome I guess.

Every one of my active Brute/Scrapper/Tanker builds has Char/Melt Armor/Fire Ball to supplement their offense. My Stalkers have Snipes tho. And then you’re often getting a little help from your armor set. And then there’s Judgement, and… reds and… even teammates. That is generally sufficient for me.

The Idea Police has convened and determined a suitable compromise. Snarky statues will fill Paragon City, under the condition that all of said statues have the Domination rainbow FX running at all times. There will be no further discussion on this matter.

What are the current thoughts on Dark Melee/Super Reflexes?
arcane replied to SemanticAntics's topic in Scrapper
Right - it’s a low bar. I’m just saying there are characters out there where it’s legit tedious to kill an EB or something, and DM ain’t there for me. -
What are the current thoughts on Dark Melee/Super Reflexes?
arcane replied to SemanticAntics's topic in Scrapper
People are pretty down on Dark Melee here, and I get it’s not S Tier offense, but… when I have procs maxed out on Smite/Siphon/Grasp I feel just fine with it. The experience is nowhere near as bad as, say, the experience of trying to do damage with Staff Fighting or Kinetic Melee. -
A controversial topic: Is it time to make items scarcer or cost more?
arcane replied to Troo's topic in General Discussion
You’d think the OP would have a point, but, whenever I recommend the prismatic aether products to others, they act like we’re in a recession. So I don’t think we’re there yet. -

I’m considering dispelling this myth that I can only be negative by going through the thread list and finding every acceptable topic I can and replying that “the Idea Police authorizes this proposed change to progress forward into the development phase”. But somehow I don’t think my handler and master Googly will find that sufficiently funny 😔
-
I… think I may have entirely misunderstood this thread. I thought I was part of the Idea Police that you want the mods to suppress so badly. Woulda been nice to know this 10 pages ago 😕 Well now that I know I’m not a problem we can all be friends I’m sure.

The kettle is doing fine, Pot

Maybe if this isn’t exactly what is going on, you and Forager should stop crying for mods to protect you from meanies every single time you get a reply that deviates from “Amazing Idea - Implement Today!” Oh wait that’s what this entire thread is, and you will never ever stop.
-
I literally responded to that thread that I was down with a new zone. I don’t understand how you all are not worried about Forager’s well being at this point.
