Well you DO have to make friends. Definite barrier to entry for some.

PvP is in awful shape in this game. Let them have a singular cookie without getting too jealous. 🙂

All the time? 200s recharge, 90s duration = easily stackable.

What are you talking about man? You think this is the only means of making money in this game? I have 100+ characters that are purpled to the teeth and have never done this type of conversion once.

Considering we get vet level farming back in exchange for this, I’m happy with it.

I would rather my Traps all continue to stack. Not having issues playing this set effectively.

*Devs solicit feedback* *Feedback given* *Some feedback incorporated, some not* *”The devs don’t give a shit at all because MY feedback wasn’t incorporated!”* Not how it works, people.

Spirit Ward AND Enflame pls. Spirit Ward is extremely helpful for keeping Phantasm alive when soloing hard targets.

(1) “hard targets” are a tiny fraction of the game. So if those are critical to the argument, of course it’s a buff. In the vast majority of cases Howl is the only -res most of your team is benefiting from. (2) All classes can and do solo. I routinely do better solo DPS on certain corruptors/defenders than on most of my blasters.

Works perfectly ty so much 🙂 I can now go ahead and build my new Sonic/Energy.

Link doesn’t work. I’d like to see the new sonic attack data too 🙂 EDIT: postjumped, ty

Considering both classes received substantial buffs alongside the -res changes, perhaps testing is required to allege a net nerf.

I could do without this change but logging into all my NON-50 alts once in a blue moon for a second won’t kill me. I think there’s 2 of them. I do not think it should be expanded to 50’s.

They already are lower (do a Harvey demon farm and see for yourself), they would just have to be… lowerer. I support Angel’s proposition. Less is better than nothing.

Edited because I can't stay focused for that long

They don't exist 😞

Ok maybe so. Anyway the point is I was planning to have real fun on Sonic Blast and y’all really tryna ruin it 😢 I have 15+ blasters and 15+ defenders and in both cases Sonic Blast is the absolute bottom of the barrel toon with painfully sluggish damage.

True but I consider the target cap reductions bug fixes and not part of the buff package. Those were changed because they weren’t following standard formulas. Either way, maybe I better not bother making new Sonic Blast toons to PL before the patch since a serious fraction of posters appear to want to sink the DPA buffs.

@golstat2003 I never said that was the OP’s exact proposal - only that some chatter along those lines is why the thread was created at this time. See receipts. It might not be the case if this thread was created a month ago, but, in its current context, this thread was created because of AE babies losing their mind. I didn’t even weigh in on the OP’s specific proposal. I just don’t think that “because farmers are losing their minds” is a good reason to open this conversation in general. The devs may very well want to implement this proposal or others. I just didn’t like the smell of this proposal coming on the heels of a bunch of emotional blackmail from people threatening to quit the game over one specific breed of vet level farming. Hope that’s cleared up.

So you literally can’t fathom/imagine (1) the massive buff Blasters/Corruptors/Sentinels just got across the board and (2) the buff Defenders got outside of the edge case of debuff stacking on hard targets. It really discourages me to say this but these great buffs are going to get rolled back at the rate this feedback thread is going. I was looking forward to taking some characters out of the garbage but oh well.

Yes I am sure they will make some tweaks that work out nicely. But the reason THIS thread exists is because a few people got to talking about how maybe if the rest of the game was more like AE, we wouldn’t have to be crying apocalypse right now. And THAT is not a theory worth entertaining IMO. Whatever we decide to do with AE, the base game is fun and doesn’t need to shift that dramatically.

You should try a Bane Spider Huntsman build. Does really well with basically nothing but bullets and grenades.

If they were the same people wouldn’t be screaming that the sky is falling. If they were the same AE wouldn’t be jam packed and Portal Corps mostly deserted. They’re close enough to the same, sure. But I don’t believe that anyone thinks there is no difference because no one is acting as if there is no difference.

Unfortunately I don’t think we should be spending time solving problems that literally didn’t even exist until a couple of days ago when people upset about a small AE tweak fabricated a narrative about the rest of the game being too lame whilst flailing about in a blind rage.
