Since the upgrades are AoE's nowadays, your ability to do so is kinda limited...

Community Vote on "Cottaging" Powers?
Doc_Scorpion replied to Galaxy Brain's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Data doesn't tell you why the power is actively not taken though. I wager most of the blasts in the defender sets would show up as "not taken", but wouldn't show the "why" (many folks play 'fenders as pure support as opposed to any problem with the power). -
/em raisehand

/jranger. It's been asked before, and always shot down for the same reason - it's very exploitable in that it allows people to level an "easy" powerset and then respec into a "harder" (late blooming for example) powerset. It also risks producing characters the player doesn't know how to play properly.

A Call for a little transparency, just a touch.
Doc_Scorpion replied to DR_Mechano's topic in General Discussion
Not so much "wanting" as "demanding" and then being upset when those demands weren't met with answers in great detail, in a timely fashion, and in a manner which satisfied the person(s) asking the questions. Setting aside the time question... (Who expects the dev team to spend any significant time on a Saturday answering such questions while they're fixing the flaws in the last major patch?) It's last bit that's the key - the devs provided answers, but the folks asking the question didn't like the answers they got. Twenty plus years on gaming forums... and I agree with you. "People will assume it's a promise" isn't a risk. It's an absolute dead certainty.- 137 replies

Discord Weekly Discussion - Week 35: PVP
Doc_Scorpion replied to GM Miss's topic in General Discussion
Did you read my entire post? You really should, because my position is... a wee bit more nuanced than the small part you quoted might lead you to believe. I didn't simply disagree with the idea, I disagreed with how it could be implemented and gave a solution that would make it palatable. I also outlined the reasons why I disagreed with the proposal. That is, I contributed to the discussion rather than simply becoming personal. -
Discord Weekly Discussion - Week 35: PVP
Doc_Scorpion replied to GM Miss's topic in General Discussion
Unless the resources can also be obtained w/o going into a PVP zone, /j-[censored]-ranger. Seriously, I've seen these kinds of suggestions implemented in other games - and what they invariably result in are either unused ghosts towns (I.E. a waste of developer time), or the resources being dominated by PVPers and unavailable (or only available at an inflated price) to not-PVPers. Such suggestions are almost always either thinly disguised attempts to force otherwise unwilling targets into PVP range or to provide things to PVP players that aren't available to non-PVP players. I stand firmly and forever against both. (I've got nothing against PVP rewards that have no effect outside of PVP areas.) -
So, um, yeah, how do you start on Goldside?
Doc_Scorpion replied to DougGraves's topic in General Discussion
Goldside was why I created my second bots/FF MM... After learning how well they soloed Redside with my first. -
Streetsweeping around Talos with my lvl 23 F/F tank, I sometimes have a single mob dash out of my Burn patch... But they never go more than a few steps outside of it, and always turn around and come right back. Doesn't seem to be related to the relative level of the mob either. If it's a bug, it's not exactly earthshattering.

Looking for a list of the quality hero-side contacts.
Doc_Scorpion replied to carroto's topic in General Discussion
Re:Frostfire The ice was even more fun when it was invisible... (Which it was for the longest time.) Saw more teams wipe because they got scattered by skating/skidding on invisible ice than almost anything else of any level in the game. -
Paragon City Monorail - Zone sorting North/South
Doc_Scorpion replied to ninja surprise's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Your response was in the present tense, so I couldn't be sure what you were referring to. -
And the turnabout is also true, unless you know specifically that it hasn't - referring to it as an absolute source isn't helpful either. Neither is talking trash when somebody gives a clarification.

Paragon Wiki is... not entirely reliable when it comes to Homecoming. Some stuff hasn't changed, some stuff has.

0.o There's a tailor just north of City Hall in Atlas Park. Even a lvl 1 can get get to w/o much trouble. -
Suggestions and Feedback Expansion
Doc_Scorpion replied to Zenex's topic in Website Suggestions & Feedback
Currently, there are threads being buried by more popular threads (and one could argue this serves as a meta-comment on the value of the proposal)... Would this suggestions fix that, or simply bury threads in subforums nobody ever visits? You can have too few subforums, but you can also have too many. Not all ideas are going to receive the same level of attention, and there's simply no way around human behavior. What burden are you taking off their shoulders? I kinda doubt the Team keeps a spreadsheet of every idea that's ever posted to the forum. (Said ideas, like everything else, conform strictly to Sturgeon's Law.) If you're setting yourself up a gatekeeper as to which ideas are worth tracking (not that I think you actually mean to!), I'm solidly opposed to the idea. -
There's been at least three attempts to start a Homecoming Wiki.

No, it adds a great deal of annoyance.
