Masterminds gain the power to have pets merge into gestalt.
arcane replied to Voltor's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
His is kind of a cool idea if well balanced as a sort of godmode on a longass timer. I don’t think you should get a permanently stronger T3 pet just because you don’t want to manage the T1’s, so sorry don’t like this idea. Your choices to go semi-petless should remain self-gimping. -
If Detective Lennie Briscoe does the law wrong, then I don’t wanna know what right is.

I’m going to take this as sincere. ❤️

Dude your thread is dead

You can’t skip the first power in your secondary and most blast T1’s/T2’s aren’t good enough that you necessarily want both. That said, loading your T1 with procs is bad proc fu regardless. Disregard those builds.

When will the game be rebalanced around IOs? Never, and here's why.

I don’t eat McDonald’s any more, thanks. You’re the one that literally acknowledged yelling one post ago. I don’t need this. Peace out brother -
Because there’s an unmistakable easily documented trend that I am apparently the only hopelessly neurotic person in the game that *doesn’t* play on Everlasting. I have suspicions about why that aren’t appropriate to speculate here, but as you can see I’m not the only person to observe the phenomenon. You literally already directly told your friends they can talk to you. If they can’t even after that, I can tell you from personal experience that their best course of action may be to seek treatment for anxiety disorders. The game has an indicator for “Do Not Disturb” in the form of hide, and an indicator for “Feel Free to Talk to Me” in the form of not hiding. The cues you request are already present, your friends are just unfortunately ineffective at interpreting them. Give them hugs and try to tell them once more.

You didn’t accurately represent what I said, but I’m not in the mood to argue anyway. That being said, it would be nice if you didn’t feel the need to shout down discussion about the current state of the game over some change projected in the distant future. It took them like a whole year to release one hard piece of content. There’s no real guarantee I’ll live to see this grand full proliferation you keep yelling about or that the game will survive for as many years as that will take. Maybe take another look at my post and how I mentioned these are just my thoughts towards game balance and attitudes on this forum. Maybe don’t take everything as an active threat to your experience. -
Yes there is hope. Put as many damage procs as possible in Jolting Chain and pick up a decent epic pool and you’ll be fine. My Electric/Poison/Psy is a lot of fun. My Thermal/Electric/Psy defender is pretty dope since the electric changes too.

You’ll have to await the release of Swiffer Melee

I think it’s pretty ludicrous to suggest that it’s unreasonable for the game to have a *small* (read: doesn’t have to affect you) amount of content with a *base* difficulty (read: not special settings) that requires a little bit of gear investment to comfortably complete. But you guys are ridiculously adamant so ofc these are merely thoughts and I have definitely given up on manifesting them into reality. -
I bet 20 bucks you play on Everlasting 🙂
-
Not sure what is accomplished by the OP that isn’t accomplished by hide options, yes. If I don’t want to receive tells from certain people, I use those options.
-
Even if this were in bounds, the thought of paying players having an outsized impact on the direction of development sounds sketchy and icky and wrongish.

Any love for Sonic Resonance on the horizon?
arcane replied to wiss's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
If those two toggles must be changed, I’d hope it’d only be to give them the Enflame treatment (can toggle on both enemies and allies). Because there’s an awful lot of builds out there based on the current state of things, and my Sonic would not like either of your proposed changes to Disruption Field / Sonic Repulsion. -

Force Field needs it more tho -
I have all support sets with IO’s and Incarnates and will second Time as the tankiest option.

OP sounds like they should just play Cold Domination.

Tweak Halloween event to have all doors live all the time.
arcane replied to ninja surprise's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Halloween is overrated, let’s not -
Some things about Troo’s build are driving me crazy, but clearly my faceplanting S/T DPS / +recharge build has no room to be critical. I’m curious enough to see how some of my other characters would do here that I might try them. But my most represented melee AT is Tankers (because I can both build offensively AND feel more invincible at once), not sure I wanna bother with those. Doesn’t seem worthwhile to compare a tank to a regen brute. I happen to have a fresh billion on hand.. might refresh my build on one of these outdated characters: Stone/Energy Brute, WM/WP Brute, Psi/Rad Brute, or TW/Ice Scrapper.
-
All true, but, again, remember my build was not built for these conditions. Sure I forget to use inspirations when playing casually, but I hardly ever actively avoid them. I don’t email chain or buy big insps, just modest usage in tight spots that tends to be pretty reliable and sustainable. And so I have an offensive build because it was never a problem in my world. If I wanted to build around this test I would do a lot of things different. Ice Patch and Rune of Protection would both be strongly considered, and Cross Punch would be out in a heartbeat. Recharge bonuses would probably curbed and better balanced with Defense and Resistance. @TrooBurnout is pretty meh but synergizes better with Regen than almost anything else. It’s essentially a get-out-of-jail-free card because the only thing that kills you is something that out-DPS’s you with all 4 clicks still on recharge. Burnout gives you a freebie reset of that cycle of click powers if you’re under too much pressure.
-
Sure, yes, fine, but think we might be a little hasty here though. Sure, I’m positive some sets like SR, Shield, Invuln, EA and Stone would be better off here at least. But some people should still do some less lazy/vague testing than I did. I suspect surely Fiery Aura would struggle under the same conditions, but there are big offensive reasons that’s ok. But it isn’t obvious to me that, say, an Electric Armor Brute with no inspirations would fair so much better.
-
With inspirations disallowed, yes. Inspirations sitting in my full tray would’ve easily prevented this. And other aforementioned caveats about the build such as minimal defense investment and minimal AoE power... I didn’t have to post the blunt truth, don’t make me regret it.
-
Yeah I always stand in the middle of patch except to jump out for 2 seconds to pull a mob at the edge with Fire Ball. I know yours is Fiery Assault, but for mine, Drain Psyche and soft capped Fire Defense together makes it very safe. You basically have to forget to use Drain Psyche to die.
