When the forum update hit a couple of days ago we had forum badges that were displayed. Then crybabies cried that it'd create a class system where their precious opinions would be ignored because they weren't part of the Forum Illuminati, and they'd be gulaged, and it wasn't fair, etc, etc, etc. So the devs canned the whole thing about 15 minutes later. .

Yeah. Sarcasm doesn't come through in text form. May I recommend that, in the future, you add a smiley or a (j/k) or something to the end of your post?

I also still see the number of posts and reputation under the avatar pic, just like before. I wonder if there's an option that you need to check, or uncheck, that will fix this issue.

No, worse than that. After they get PL'd to 50, after they get the perfect Alpha-God build from the forums, then they play a little while and then come to the forums and post "This game is too easy, brah! Nerf players! Nerf softcap! Nerf IOs. Nerf whateverelseIthinkistheproblem!"

I don't usually agree with Snarky, but when I do it's because he's right. The devs should at least address this in the forums one way or another. If they're not going to change Rage then at least let us know that.

I disagree with the changes to the P2W Amplifiers. In my opinion the costs should remain the same and neither they, nor any other power/temp power, should be able to be paused.

Fly is simply the better travel power and I have it on a lot of my characters. But Fly is boring. Superspeed is fun. It requires just a little bit of getting used to, a modicum of skill and timing. And, unlike Fly, you actually have to actively pay attention to what you're doing when you use Superspeed. Also, with the new jump ability that they've added to Superspeed, it's much easier to use. But definitely have a Jet Pack for the Shadow Shards.

Personally I learned to really dislike Psi Melee. The animations are slow and clunky and the damage just wasn't great. I suspect that, once you try it, you'll find that the sound FX isn't actually the worst part of the set. I'm thinking about trying a SD/SS Tank. Shield Charge + Hand Clap (with a KB>KD IO) + Foot Stomp just sounds like a ton of fun.

If Microsoft actually does this, or leads a group of companies to do this, they'll find a way to **** it up and/or overly monetize it. I know, I know. But it's early. Just let me have my Captain Obvious moment, ok?

So first you ask me to define a common word, that you should already know the definition of, and then you criticize the dictionary definition and criticize me by calling me a "clueless loon." Yeah. We clearly can't have a meaningful discussion on this no matter which definition we agree upon.

I agree with you on this. This also seemed to be the driving force behind the change/nerf to Rune of Protection. The devs flat out said that they didn't like low level characters having permanent mez protection. The devs have said that they aren't going to raise the minimum difficulty, so those people who want easy mode will still have it, but they kinda are increasing it with these changes. And the devs are obviously focused on making content more challenging for Incarnates.

Per Webster's Dictionary: Broken damaged or altered by or as if by breaking, such as having undergone or been subjected to fracture a broken leg not working properly of land surfaces : being irregular, interrupted, or full of obstacles a long broken ridge violated by transgression : not kept or honored a broken promise discontinuous, interrupted a broken sleep disrupted by change Is there some reason you couldn't have googled the word? That's all I did. The amps ain't broken. They work properly and they aren't discontinuous or disrupted.

It's not "how some players take it." It's that regardless of the stated reason for this change, this is the factual effect that it will have. As a rule I'm always against "fixing" stuff that ain't broken. This isn't broken so I don't understand why the devs are spending the time and effort to suddenly "fix" something that ain't broken.

Nah. In order for this to be the Star Trek Online forums the devs would have to spend a few years flat out lying to us that they're actually creating content for one faction, and then never do it, while the mods ban hammer anyone on the forums that complains about it. And then the publisher would wipe the forums and then the devs would spend the next couple of years denying that any of that happened while the mods ban hammer anyone who links to the quotes on my web page proving them wrong. At least that's the Star Trek Online forums that I remember.

You should probably just watch it with her, Terror. Then you'll get to hear "In the book they actually did this..." after every single episode. It'll be fun. 😁

Fair enough. I would prefer that the amplifiers be reverted to their original logarithmic cost and that they be rendered immune to anything that would affect their duration. Oh, and I don't believe that I speak for the entire player base, but someone will certainly accuse me of believing that I do. I just thought I'd save time and get my disclaimer in now.

I would love to watch the Wheel of Time series. I even have Amazon Prime. However, I have absolutely no confidence that what they make won't be utter garbage. I'll be waiting a few weeks and then watching reviews.

If that changes I'll let you know. So I'm a forum PvPer? W00t! I'm a leet PvPer, ya'll!!! 🤣

ZOMG! You're not going to tell us his strength without giving us his full FASERIP stats, are you? IIRC, Spider-Man's strength is either Incredible (40) or Amazing (50).

In Soviet Russia, blaster mezzes YOU! 😄 Did I do that right?

Yeah. One of the things that annoys me is that Sentinels don't have any melee attacks. I gotta say, if I'd been making Sentinels, I would have made the secondary sets be a combination of mez protection and armor toggles and melee attacks. So Sentinels would do almost as much damage as a Blaster (no Defiance stacks) but their armor would be much worse than a Scrapper. They wouldn't have the Sniper attacks or the tier 9 armor powers.

That's why I believe that the devs should just change Rage to a toggle and be done with it. I've been reading threads about Rage and asking the crash to be removed since 2006. At the very least I wish the devs would come out and say "We're going to do this with Rage." Or at least the moderators should roll all of the Rage threads into one mega thread and add any new thread about Rage to that thread. Keep the rage all confined to just one thread. They should do the same with the knockback threads as well.

This. ^ Dominators already do what the OP is suggesting. So I'm afraid that I'm gonna have to:
