Chance Jackson

Currently the IOs add a separate chance to KD, which if proc'd can stack with the Power's KD turning it into KB, but I wish it just increased the Power's chance to KD instead as in a straight forward addition of the chance percentages giving players more reliable KD without adding undesired KB

If Walk still lets you attack, then yes

I wish ninja run/beast run could be separated into a 0 end stance toggle & an unenhanceble run toggle

How is burst a proc monster? The blaster version has a 4 sec recharge other than that I'm trying to avoid shotgunny powers in favor of machine gunny powers SOA Heavy Burst is a fine substitute for Full Auto it's not in the blaster Assault Rifle set so I didn't think of it while creating the pool

The old dev team was obsessed with clipping so many options aren't available together due to clipping concerns even for options that wouldn't clip. i hope the the homecoming team opens up the costume options so that individual players can choose how much clipping they will tolerate.

I already have a grenade aoe attack power in Venom Grenade, along with a aoe immob grenade power so I definitely want something other than another AOE grenade attack & I definitely wanted another automatic firing attack but yeah I fully expect Full Auto to be toned down (I also paired it with the T1 burst power for balance considerations) As for PPP pets they tend to be "Pet" Class entities which IIRC get more HP then the 3rd tier MM pet that some like to call the Boss Pet I'm sure if implemented the Homecoming team would properly balance that as well

There is very little that ties the melee APPs together some have buffs others might have debuffs, some have multiple aoe attacks so I'm giving myself the latitude to copy Patron Pool pattern brutes get These powers are either from Assault Rifle, Soldiers of Arachnos or Mercenaries -Burst -Venom Grenade -Wide Area Web Grenade (AOE Immob with -kb) -Heavy Burst -Seasoned Veteran a rifleman pet equivalent to a PPP pet, same powers as the Commando henchmen but with the the Spec Ops henchmen's rifle, outfit & snipe power Seasoned Veteran flavor text: This rifleman has survived many armed conflicts, doing unsavory things at the behest of nation states &/or self-serving power brokers for chump change, now this soldier will only contract his services out to those he respects, for causes he believes in (or for top dollar)

it's good to run them hands, show the low lives, zealots & corporate stooges that you're no 1 trick pony, that you will square up & that they will get folded savage if they even think of stepping to you lol I soloed a +1 EB in melee today it was in the 2nd to last Hammers Mish it was tough, I almost got 2 shotted & it was especially satisfying to come out on top, sometimes it's just all about style & MC + Jump Kick is very stylish

This is not a PVP first game, it's PVE First. To homogenize power sets along PVP lines would be entirely disruptive & steal away the appeal of the vast majority already existing toons

Hardest of Hard Passes, No Homogenization! Allowing different sets to have their own flavor & appeal makes the game more interesting not less. PVPers can just continue to chose PVP competitive sets for PVP

'grounded in reason' yeah ok ben shapiro

No, that's exactly what the player base wants to avoid

It probably does but that likely has no impact on the repel side of Ki Push as it is A KB & Repel power & the current IOs do nothing for pure Repel powers I just tested this on the Beta server KB to KD IOs are accepted but seemingly do nothing with respect to Ki Push

Thematically I love the various Martial Arts sets including MARTIAL COMBAT!!! but i'm hating how Ki push can mess up my melee attack chain unless I'm fighting an unrepelable foe thus I often end up not using Ki Push power which I have no choice but to take, I'd really appreciate a single IO I can slot into it or the whole build to prevent the KB & Repel aspects of that power(& every KB rifle power while we're at it slotting 3 KB to KD IOs is a bit much)

I am totally for an annual free purples day

My thoughts exactly "HYAKURETSU KEN!!!!!"

I've recreated several characters from live but otherwise I don't create characters with the same power sets unless I'm rerolling as a different AT I do have several Chance Jackson costumes & I tend to reuse those especially on my experimental Chance Jackson & Chanceman toons

I love it

Mystery solved

I also made a cyberpunk AR/MC blaster recently but I decided I'd go Mace Mastery for the Defense shield, & tech themed powers

You can unlock team drops?!

Yup sorrow Lts & especially Bosses, I try my best to take them out soonest

Soloing feats are what give me that feeling more so than anything else TBH -Soloing a -5 Winter Lord GM on Cheetatron, my Nrg/Dev, during the first ever winter event I had to load up on insps just barely survive getting mezzed, run back to a contact for more inps, rinse & repeat till the winter lord went down. -Soloing my 1st even level Hero/AV on any toon; Ms Liberty on "Liege Cheetatron X" my Bots/Traps/Mu main on live, holy shit was that tough, everything was going smoothly enough until she popped unstoppable after that she broke through my immobs, wrecked my bots & had me running for the door but before I got too far I got on my battle shonen "TATAKAI!"(FIGHT!) type steez, resummoned my bots & fought it out countering unstoppable with poison gas trap which would detoggle unstoppable for a few moments before she toggle it back on, this would go on several times before I finally took my "W" -Casually announcing I was going to Solo the clockwork king during an LGTF & succeeding with low to mid difficulty with incarnate powers (Liege) -Soloing the lambda sentry guns in the reverse order that teams would tackle them in, while everyone else was clearing the outer & then inner yards if I used more pets I could get them all this would cause amusing confusion to those whose muscle memory had them expecting to tackle the guns in the typical fashion some even going to multiple empty posts lol (Liege) -Soloing AV Mot on my Time/Sonic/Soul I was close to death several times between buff ups

After the regen nerfs, gdn & ED I didn't even bother to go through the incarnate trials with my very 1st toon, 50 & namesake Chance Jackson an MA/Regen during live & I'm certainly not going to recreate him for HC or roll a regen as things stand so I support un-nerfing regen

My namesake Chance Jackson was a Ma/Regen scrapper, my 1st 50 & along with Cheetatron an Nrg/Dev blaster were my mains prior to leaving the game over regen nerfs, ED, GDN etc. COV's launch piqued my interest & after trying Bots/Traps during a trial I had an all new main "Liege Cheetatron X" who would go on to be my 1st villain lvl 50 & 2nd level 50 overall which would be followed by DB/Fire, Kin/Nin, StJ/Fire (Brute), Wolf Spider & Time/Sonic While I have fully recreated, IOd, & incarnated Liege Cheetatron X & the Time/Sonic defender I missed out on incarnating during live I'm finding I'm in no rush to take the 3 other identical powerset recreations of level 50s I had in live to lvl 50 in HC I find myself playing new power set combos instead. Once I'm done IO'ing, incarnating & completing a high level story arc that feels especially signature for a toon I tend to move on. TL;DR: I no longer have mains, just 50s & those I'm leveling
