  1. No developer with more than two functioning brain cells is going to make a pool power capable of controlling bosses and EBs with a single application. That's not just imbalanced, it'd be impossible to balance. It also fails to address any of the other problems resulting from your proposal. Where's the discrete single-target and AoE option so players aren't paying extra endurance? Where's the option with a shorter recharge time so they can use it more frequently (AoE formula calls for longer recharge times)? This doesn't address the losses entailed, it condenses two powers into one that's even less versatile and useful. You wanting something doesn't make it a necessity. You're not that important, princess.
  2. Those two Fears are the only two stacking controls in all of the pools. There aren't any Holds, Sleeps or Immobilizes in the pools, and the few Stuns are unreliable (X% chances). Those Fears give players the ability to control a boss, even if the archetype they're playing doesn't have an abundance of control, and allow players to set their own targeting parameters (AoE or single-target) if they're only interested in one of them. And you're asking to have those options removed, taken away from everyone, so you don't have to press W or use a ranged attack. Going to have to add my voice to the general disagreement. Any suggestion which can be condensed down to "take from others and give to me" is selfish and inconsiderate, and deserves to burn on the shitheap.
  3. If I argue with you, you're right. If I don't argue with you, you're right.
  4. "You're a mutant" "Yeah." "Cool. What does your mutation do?" "It lets me cast spells." "Then you're a wizard, not a mutant." "No, my mutation is what lets me cast spells. I'm a mutant." "Dude over there's casting spells, he's not a mutant." "IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS! I'M A MUTANT!" "And your mutation is... spell casting... which doesn't require mutant powers..." "I hate you." "Hey, did you hear about the guy who invented a machine that could cast spells? A technological device created by science, that has a mutation which allows it to cast spells. Isn't that something." "I wish I'd never been born."
  5. With a stick, as she sleeps. But on a horse, with a lance, that EB is unbeatable.
  6. Since Sleeps were changed to autohit. I don't know which Page that was, check the patch notes. I reported the bug with Chilling Ray about four months ago. Just respec out of it for now. You can slip it back in when it's working properly.
  7. I don't know, I don't generally watch hentai.
  8. Nope. Someone slept through Issues 0-23, when supergroups like Repeat Offenders and Green Machine were blitzing all of the hardest content like it was -49 to them, without any scrappers, tankers or blasters on their teams.
  9. Sleeps were changed to automatically hit, even if they were secondary effects of attacks. Because the Sleep is autohit, Chilling Ray "always hits", but the damage part still has to make a hit roll... and that hit roll doesn't display in the combat logs... because the attack is flagged as autohit... It gets worse. The damage hit roll isn't factored by the streak breaker. The streak breaker ignores it because the attack is flagged autohit. So Chilling Ray can not only fail to deal damage because it missed its hit roll for the damage (and didn't notify the player), but it can also cause miss streaks, because the streak breaker isn't counting the unreported hit roll that the attack has to make. Can we say "nuclear dumpster fire"? Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
  10. Those are long pork, not bacon.
  11. The interludes exist so players can regroup and recover, and it's not instanced content. Players with sub-50 characters, no IO set bonuses or purples or ATOs or Winter sets or any of the bells and whistles, bottom-level performance primaries/secondaries, and not even the faintest idea what they're doing, are going to show up and expect to participate. And if the interludes are reduced or removed, that will restrict their participation. You can tolerate a 20s breather between fights for the sake of keeping it accessible to everyone.
  12. Then there's no reason to make it available for inf*.
  13. Masterminds have henches and pets. Henches and pets work whether the mastermind is mezzed or not. That's why they don't have inherent status protection.
  14. We express our sincere apologies. We recently hired a new attendant for our popcorn machine, but she decided that she wasn't suited for the job. She's been treated for Popcorn-Traumatic Stress Disorder and has returned to the company in a different position.
  15. Nothing wrong with being an optimist. Keep it up. 👍
  16. Guys, he does this regularly, complaining about how bad defender damage is, or that people are "incorrectly" slotting their defender attacks with Damage enhancements instead of control/debuff enhancements, or how few players seem to realize that they're playing defenders wrong by using attacks at all... Just smile, nod and let the thread filter down to the bottom like the others.
  17. Now that you've said that, someone is itching to post a suggestion that involves forcing players to invite them to teams.
  18. I can't tell if this is fascist bullshit or drama queen bullshit. I can tell that it's bullshit.
  19. If that's true, my pants must be the best location in the real world.
  20. Energy uses melee modifiers, Mace uses ranged modifiers. Agreed that they should be the same. Using different modifiers doesn't make much sense, probably an oversight on the part of Cryptic.
  21. I was going to start a team, but @Snarky quit pre-emptively.
  22. Electric Armor, Power Surge Energy Aura, Entropic Aura (Entropy Shield on sentinels) Ice Armor, Icy Bastion Invulnerability, Unyielding and Unstoppable Regeneration, Moment of Glory Shield Defense, Active Defense Stone Armor, Rooted Willpower, Indomitable Will and Strength of Will Leadership, Vengeance Break Free inspirations That's lumping the powers with Repel Protection and Repel Resistance together. Some have one or the other, most don't have both.
  23. YES! 100% more Karl Urban in this thread! I AM WIN!
  24. I'm sure it has nothing to do with that guy who runs around roleplaying as a vampire and telling other players, "I VANT TO THUCK YOUR BLOOD!". Also, my next 50 characters will all be cloves of garlic. With wooden stakes. Uncoincidentally.
