Rework or reduce the redside broker system
Galaxy Brain replied to Gulbasaur's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I mean ok, but redside did not come out *that* much later. CoV launched with issue 6 iirc, which is literally like a little over a year younger than Blueside. Redside has always had less players for... reasons, but with no restrictions on ATs / etc anymore, there is far fewer reason to play red now -
Rework or reduce the redside broker system
Galaxy Brain replied to Gulbasaur's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
counter offer: Make Redside content way more rewarding than Blueside in terms of Inf / Xp / Drops / merits The difficulty of the content there makes people avoid redside, so making it lucrative for the challenge will balance out the content rather than making getting to the content easier. -
Make Lethal damage.... lethal?
Galaxy Brain replied to Galaxy Brain's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
That is a bit of a secondary convo for this thread : Though it does factor in! Ideally, there should be a healthy spread where each damage type shines and is ineffective throughout the game, not just on the hard modes -

Galaxy Brain replied to Galaxy Brain's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Well yeah, but this is also based on whoever is interested in the topic to begin with. If people are ambivalent then they probably dont care either way to answer or say something about the difficulty We could share this to reddit / etc, but that requires a but of momentum too -
I think it could be cool if these were super powerful, super rare, and ultra-unique. Like, what if you could get a "Statemans Resistance" that is a golden IO that gives +12% res to all. This takes up a slot somewhere in your build, and slotting it means you cannot slot any other golden enhancements. I like the idea of the legendaries being a truly unique IO per character where you can only choose one to use. This could help balance then out a bit if they're not only global effects but restricted to one per chatacter. Another idea that is kinda out there... what if it took more than 1 enhancement slot to equip these?

Make Lethal damage.... lethal?
Galaxy Brain replied to Galaxy Brain's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
While true.... its not always the case and other damage types have had -Def as well. I think part of the problem really is that there is just an imbalance of enemies that are weak to and resistant to each damage type. Negative Energy is the least resisted type despite having a 26% chance to encounter a resistant enemy because there is also about a 20% chance to run into an enemy weak to Neg. The next smallest gap is Fire with a 25 / 13 split between the chances, and it gets wider from there. Lethal (and Smashing) by contrast has a spread of 48 / 5 (and 49 / 7 for Smash) which is just way out of whack when you look at these side by side. You are about 2x as likely to run into a resistant mob with lethal than negative, and 4x less likely to run into an enemy weak to your powers. In an ideal world, you would have roughly equal chances of Resist / Weak (rest being neutral) to encourage different team set ups and to have highs and lows with each powerset as you play instead of just lows with certain ones at higher level. -

Just to touch base: So far, ~81% of respondents are in favor of sweeping changes to the game when it comes to difficulty, but only if it is optional and has scaled rewards (32% on the optional diff, 17% on boosted rewards, and 16% on both global diff overhaul and looking into IOs/Incarnates) Only ~19% of respondents are in favor of specialized difficulty content, minor changes, or no changes at all (8% on minor changes, 6% on only certain special content being difficult, and 5% want no changes) ~46% of respondents want to see new/specific enemy tweaks that likewise carry stronger rewards (26% want to see "Advanced" enemies introduced, and 20% want to in turn see rewards for harder enemies / groups be boosted) ~28% of respondents want to see enemies just have adjusted stats, and/or specific ways to scale vs teams (14% for both general enemy stat changes and some sort of ramping difficulty per team member) ~24% of respondents want to see enemies just have adjusted stats in general, specific ways to scale vs teams, and/or certain enemy groups to be revamped for challenge (14% for both general enemy stat changes and some sort of ramping difficulty per team member, 9% for enemy group glow-ups) ~8% of respondents want to see changes to IO/Incarnate bonuses ~8% of respondents answered N/A to specifics What I can gather here is that there is a strong desire for a better difficulty option to be available, emphasis on option, where enemies get stronger but more rewarding. Specifically changing up most encounters with new stats as well as special enemies thrown into the mix. There is some backing behind looking into IO/Incarnate values as well, but that is a 2nd place to just reworking the people we fight. -

You know I've run the numbers to show TW is bigger WM 😉 -

Then play TW! 😄 -
So no buff threads either!

Way I see it, the 2nd option support changing KB by allowing it to be changed. Also @honoroityou never answered if it is OK for somebody to use KB to actively detriment others?

TBF, I feel that there shouldn't be powers that are "lol trash, auto skip". Skipping should be a tactical choice not a given. -

Oh cool! So, eyeballing it we have... every single stalker being able to toss out better than ET performance on every set? -

MA should totally have some sorta combo system, hell it already sorta does with Eagles Claw carrying a buff to the next attack -
On the same note, is it ok to use KB to actively mess with the placement of other people's powers?

Make Lethal damage.... lethal?
Galaxy Brain replied to Galaxy Brain's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I disagree with radically flopping what resists what in terms of bots suddenly being weak to as opposed to resisting lethal. To me, lethal is "sharp" damage where you can tear up fleshy or unarmored targets very easily, but then metallic / hard targets resist that. Honestly there should be a more even spread of resists and weaknesses to damage throughout the game so everyone gets to shine and be restricted depending on the content instead of just certain damage types being great / poo. -
I dig it

Similar note, aside from damage type how do you make EM compete with War Mace which has more range, more AoE, more ST dps, and even has the stun gimmick + knockdowns? -
Make Lethal damage.... lethal?
Galaxy Brain replied to Galaxy Brain's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Looking at my work in averaging out over 60 enemy factions, I saw the following spread: Type Damage Type AVG Resist Average Resist value across all enemy factions of the chart with non 0 Resists ADJ Resist Average Resist compared to the encounter chance of Res/Weak enemies Chance of Res Chance to encounter an enemy that resists the type Chance of Weak Chance to encounter an enemy that is weak to the type This here is across all levels, enemy ranks, etc. The big discrepancy here is that even with Toxic having 0 enemies weak to it from the data I pulled, it has only a ~32% chance to be resisted while Lethal is at ~38% after accounting for the few enemies that are weak to it. The average "gap" is about 24% more often resisted than weak, making Psychic / Cold / Energy close to average, Fire and Negative below Average, and S/L/Tox above average. Looking at the spread as you level isn't fun either. Comparing it to say, Energy Damage: Energy has a similar "encounter" curve, but the key differences here are that the chance of enemies weak to En is actually sort of decent per range. -

Make Lethal damage.... lethal?
Galaxy Brain replied to Galaxy Brain's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
I had gathered data on 60 enemy types in my guide here prior: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1arWBGWuwGCWqSrkLgnWK26xNTrILUO_QNKn8034A3L0/edit?usp=drivesdk Its... kind of odd the spread of how often certain types are resisted or super effective for lack of a better term lol. Lethal really doesnt feel lethal at all with fewer enemies weak to it. At least Smashing is a decent "basic" type where tons of enemies that are armored get crushed by it specifically to offset enemies that are resistant. -

Would it be possible to have EM deal bonus damage on stunned targets / if it procs a stun? Would also be fairly simple to give it a bit extra oomph without a crazy extra mechanic.
