    In this case I was not making a comment on balance but rather on how wacky the PPM system is as aetherial said.
  2. arcane
    Yeah too much raw power creep potential. Make it 53% instead of 100% and have the other schedules scale the same and I’m down.
  3. arcane
    I think you forgot a little side of “hey let’s make epic/patron holds that do barely any damage by design into some of the best damage powers in the game” 🙂
  4. arcane
    This. You make a mage by selecting the magic origin. That said if it’s a cool powerset I’m sure the devs well take a look and consider if it’s worth the time. Just don’t tie the powerset concept to an origin.
  5. arcane
    Also you came out in favor of this logic by defending PPM in the first place as that’s how it fundamentally works so... sensing mixed messages here.
  6. arcane
    I obviously have nothing against proc monsters as I just stated I have dozens of them. I do know how they work though. Google “Hcwiki PPM” - it’s a readily understandable one pager.
  7. arcane
    Even if there were a problem, making all alpha slots do one thing (boost enhancement values) except for a fraction of a portion of two alpha slots just so proc monsters don’t have to make hard choices absolutely reeks of poor design. And I say this as someone with dozens of characters that each have dozens of procs.
  8. arcane
    And it’s Beginner Procs 101 to avoid recharge enhancement already so what’s the problem with this logically extending to two Alpha slots? Read other threads for devs and player statements expressing that the PPM system is overpowered or broken.
  9. arcane
    There is no healer class and I stopped reading there 🙂

    I think the chance to miss in any scenario is perfectly realistic. If life has genuinely taught you that stationary targets are never missed, I urge you to log out and join the NBA.

    But it’s really starting to sound like Crey missions are the optimal lunch break. Let’s not discourage regular nutrition.
  12. arcane
    I don’t see this as a “problem” in need of a fix. Until the current PPM situation is nerfed, players know to minimize recharge slotting to maximize procs. Players also know that this extends to the Alpha slot. Even if the devs allow PPM to stay in its current controversial state forever, I don’t see why they would change how the Alpha slot fundamentally works just to accommodate some procsters.

    This I guess. They annoy me but the game doesn’t need to get easier when we have vet level 100’s in other threads saying they can’t use their powers because everything is already dead.

    I found out one night in summer 2019 because I was reminiscing in map chat on ESO about the best game ever and some fellow said “Oh yeah I’m playing that game again”. I did not sleep much that night.
  15. arcane
    Don’t you mean 53% and the corresponding values from other schedules? To match the single effect IO’s from other purple sets?
  16. arcane
    People in the human race point out fallacies to dismiss fallacious arguments. I promise you it’s nothing unique to this forum, really 🙂

    Two solutions I use when on speed runs that limit meaningful fights: (1) get to the mob earlier or (2) go fight an additional mob yourself. On ITF mission one I just stealth to the back sybil room so I can have some fun while the others speed through the first several sybils.

    Ok so you’re focused on not being needed. Considering 99.99% (leaving some exceptions on the table like maybe a hami tanker) of players are not specifically needed and have not been for at least 10 years now, this is something I have simply come to accept. Considering the mobs are dying at a pleasing pace, I’m not sure there’s a lot to complain about. One thing’s for sure though, I certainly wouldn’t consider your character obsolete since defining obsolete as not being absolutely essential to the team’s success would render all characters in the game obsolete, kind of defeating the point of talking about obsolescence in the first place.
  19. arcane
    That doesn’t tell me why you think such a thing. How are you defining power gamer vs casual?
  20. arcane
    Ah, well that’s not how I was thinking of obsolescence. The vast majority of teams don’t *need* any one player in particular because they are competent players in an easy game. However, that is not the same as not contributing at all, which is what I thought you were saying was happening. In other words, not being needed and not being able to contribute are not the same thing. The former is not only forgivable but imminently reasonable. The latter you have zero excuse beyond self-gimping at vet level 100.
  21. arcane
    It’s good not to assign value to fallacious reasoning anywhere and everywhere sorry.
  22. arcane
    You’ve made a similar cryptic statement before. Can you please define your terms like casual players vs powergamers so we understand this position?
  23. arcane
    Haha, people giving opinions on a forum. What a joke. 🙄
  24. arcane
    If you so desperately want to avoid having to consider positioning, 95+% of the remaining power sets are there waiting for you Hops 🙂
  25. arcane
    Right, I was just saying there is no alternative/opportunity cost to incarnates if you have the materials, whereas there are reasonable alternatives to +recharge (procs, defense, etc)...
