arcane

no it isn’t

I’m a big advocate for “you want the unique look of a certain set, you play that set.”

Nowadays I always put multiple slots in SS/SJ, but if I were to 1-slot those powers it would definitely be with D-Sync Accelerations.

I like that they have different values, unlike everything else in the game where the price ranges were flattened by converters.

I don’t mess around with characters that do stuff slowly. All of my active blasters in my spreadsheet have all of the following characteristics (well okay I see one exception): - Max proc damage and proc rates in single targets attacks - Sets with +recharge in AoE’s - Hasten/SS/Burnout - CJ/SJ - TP/Combat TP/Fold Space - Stealth/Mule/Phase Shift - Char/Melt Armor - No resistance - No defense (besides CJ/Stealth) My /nin blaster only slightly deviated from this format with a different epic because Choking Powder is already Char but better.

Not possible right now. It would be nice if a dev would let us know if oft-requested login screen changes are even in the pipeline for the next five years or if such changes are just plain impossible. This comes up a lot.

Not that it’s appropriate for either set (Rad Armor already OP, why would Regen do damage?) - but it seemed pretty clear to me that he meant something like what was added to Brimstone Armor or what we already had with Toxins or Assault Radial or Envenomed Blades.

To be fair a lot of powers in the game seem to have misleading text in terms of distinguishing knockback from knockdown. If you haven’t tested the power personally, look at the data and see if the knock mag is 0.67 (knockdown) or higher (knockback).

That power doesn’t even do knockback in the first place per a quick glance at CoD so that might be why you’re finding it underwhelming… I’m sure you’ll find the enhancement does something substantial if actually slotted in a power otherwise known for scattering. As the only decent S/T attack in the set, I’m sure the optimal slotting involves 3-5 damage procs.

The bolded part is objectively not happening in reality though. Resistance debuffs are known to be very potent and are as meta/fotm as it gets. I guess I’m open to being wrong. Anyone got a video of a 4 star run with no infrigidates/sleets/heat losses/corrosive enzymes/melt armors/repulsion bolts/force bombs/debuff procs/etc? Of course I highly doubt such evidence even exists since resistance debuffs have been known to be gamechangers forever… This seems to be an instance of people interpreting design formulas but having no knowledge of how those abilities actually turn out in the in-game experience.

Debuffs are objectively in a good place. OP is simply mistaken.

Any justification for this idea or do you just want to require the average player to do a few dozen respecs for no reason?

If a chat bubble showed up for every player serverwide each time I had a comment to make in general chat, I would hope I would have the decency to just not talk in general chat. Oh well.

I asked the question because you proposed stripping the damage from a power that is 99% used for damage. Sure some people mention the heal without realizing it’s way too tiny to be effective for anything. So basically you’re advocating that the power should do nothing.

Lol what do you think Ground Zero does?

With all due respect Rudra, on the spectrum from your good takes to your niche af patrol xp position, this is closer to the latter. Whether or not the OP’s proposal is the correct fix, surely needing seven single target attacks in your primary is not a hill worth dying on?

Give Experimentation and Force of Will the Sorcery treatment (where T5’s are standardized and the other 4 powers are buffed) Revamp Kinetic Melee Earth themed support set Guitar blast animations for Sonic/Symphony (pinch harmonic sound effect for bonus points) Badge for veteran level 1,000 4 star ITF gives an accolade like 4 star Aeon and 4 star LGTF already do Delete Mastermind AT Use of a changeling bind or macro triggers a temporary game ban (term negotiable) Ban Max from Excelsior general chat

You are a logical guy and thus I believe you know damn well that one faction’s requests not being implemented doesn’t mean no discussion was had.

We already have a reward for vet level 99, and vet level 100 really isn’t that high. I would be in favor of some kind of badge for vet level 1,000 though.

Two of three 4* TF’s already give accolades. I would be totally in favor of adding an accolade for 4* ITF, but I’m sure it would be like the other two - not designed to provide a combat advantage.

This isn’t happening in reality. What’s actually happening is posters are disagreeing with you, and you’ve invented this narrative either to insult them or to get them to be moderated.

Allow players to delete their forum accounts tbh

To be fair to Rudra here, isn’t every mastermind terrible?

I’m not saying you’re lying. But I (1) sometimes say “TL;DR” instead of reading novel-sized posts and (2) smoke too much weed. So, no, I genuinely can’t think of a valid example of toxic positivity on this forum off the top of my head. EDIT: I am certain you’ve been on the receiving end of insults over this issue because insults fly every which way over anything contentious on this forum. I just don’t have a specific instance I can recall. I’m sure I could study some old open beta focused feedback threads and find examples.

Don’t feel too bad for me; I do bite back a smidge. But yeah that’s the state of things from my perspective.
