Hi: Could it be possible for the Pv2 vendor to sell a hold power, either or both permanent or temporary. The reason, I am asking for this, was we were on an LGTF and our controller got disconnected and did not combat back, and the rest of us did not have a single hold among us. Thus it would be great, if we could go to the PV2 Vendor, obviously at Pocket D, since we are in a TF, and purchase the hold in order to be able to complete the LGTF mission. Hugs Sue

You got my Vote! This is a really awesome suggestion! Sue

Hi: I try to play the different power sets, just to experience what makes them unique and fun to play. So I built an alt with Kinetic as a form of attack. At first, I thought the long animations, the winding , was cute. But then I realized, that I spent a lot of time clowning around with the windings and not doing much for attacking. In fact many times, I would begin my attack, and a team mate gets 2 attacks and kills the mob, and oh yeah, the final insult, the attack goes off on the very dead mob. I also noticed, the character spent a huge amount of time to attack, and the damage, was very unimpressive for the stupid long time it took to go off. When fighting Battle Maiden, I can hardly get an attack in, and try to get out, before the blue splash gets me, that is ridiculous. Is what I am experiencing, my own sense of illusion from watching what it feels to be a really long animation? If not can the animation be, say, halved? or more than double the damage done? Hugs Sue

You may want to check the actual "miss rolls" Periodically, in my case the Random Number Generator (RNG) gets stuck on stupid and can't roll under a 90, and thus the miss rate is simply extraordinary. This infrequent happening, may have occurred to you during your ITF, do note that anything 95+ is an automatic miss, so no matter how much accuracy you stacked-up, you are going to miss and miss, and miss. I am not sure, in an area attack does the system roll for each mob in the area, or a single roll is used and compared to each type of mob in the area. Hope this gives you some solace.. Sue.

That is awesome! Thank you Sue

Agreed, it is mostly academic. I just like symmetry (personality disorder), but in Everlasting we do Hami 3 times a day and kill hami twice in each, accumulating emps is easy. Sue

It would not be compulsory, it is always an individual's choice. The suggestion is a work around to the limitation and SG has in number of members. Of my 30 alts, only 1 is in Chaos United (CU) and the rest in my own personal SG so they have a place to store stuff, etc. The problem is CU does not have room for my 29 other alts (without booting that many other players to make room for me), and there is no way to display to others that despite they are in my personal SG, they are really members of CU. I used Everlasting, for I am in that server, I avoid making any statements on servers I do not play in, it would be wrong for me to assume that difficulties in Everlasting would be also true in other servers; this does not mean my suggestion can't or should not be done in other servers, but it may not make sense there, and I do not know. The idea incidentally came from me, a player, who is addressing a problem that Chaos United is addressing in Everlasting, so used real experience to base my request, as I said before I do not dare put words on folks on other servers. hugs Sue

Not that I can't tell if you are in SG or not and which one. The problem is that I have for instance 30 alts, Chaos United does not have 30 slots just for me to have, so I have a single alt in CU, and 29 in my own SG so I can store stuff and craft, etc. While we have our own chat channel, which allows all 30 of my alts to communicate as if they were in CU, I can not display my true colors as a CU member with all my alts. So I was hoping that instead of saying Super Sue, "The Heroic", I could substitute Heroic with Chaos United, and thus other players would know my affiliation and if I misbehave for instance, they know what SG leader to complain to, or if they like how I support in play, to get them to join CU. The real problem, and this is frankly a work around, is the limitations of how many members you can have in an SG.

I like the idea, simply for symmetry purposes alone. If you go under empyrean conversion, you can convert 1 empyrean into 20 threads, so conversely you should be able to revert it at the same rate. Truly it is only a convenience, not an exploit. Since 1 Empyrean could break down into 20 reward merits, I would like to see the same reverse such as 20 reward merits becomes 1 empyrean. That rate is also observed in Hami raids for instance you either get 80 reward merits or 4 empyreans. Hugs Sue

In Everlasting I am a member of Chaos United,, we are a huge SG with 3 Chaos United groups CU, CU1, CU2... But we have so many players, that we only tend to have a single alt in the CU SG proper, we created a special chat channel to let all the alts communicate with CU and coalition. What I am after, is for a way to identify the many alts we all have as members of CU in my case, same truth would be so for other mega-SGs. It occurs to me, as you can select from pre-determined titles, if you could actually write your own, you could then you could write, like in my case, Chaos United. Just a suggestion, I have no idea how easy or difficult it would be Hugs Sue

Its a minor request... Could it be possible in the character select screen, to include the vet level for those characters at level 50? Only reason I ask, I am trying to bring all 30 of my alts to the same vet level, and it would be more convenient if it was displayed in that screen. I do emphasize convenient. Hugs Sue

Can you tell me more of the demorecord feature? please? Sue

PvP mmm.... I love PvP, but for it to be fun, it truly needs to be sporting, and for that, it requires a true balance among the classes or arch types. The Arch type balance by design are awfully unbalanced from an individual perspective, for the concept of group interaction versus PvE is central to the design. Notice that the PvE engine does not have the AI to know to ignore the melee and suck it to the support, especially any healers. As a result the game works, you can play the defender with not even near the protections the melee has and still be a successful team member. The problem with PvP, is that the other team, knows the rule that when the opposition's support is down, the rest will follow. That means if you are defender, for instance, the bulls eye is on you, and the class is no way even close to be able to handle that, since their protections are sadly deficient. So when it goes to PvP it takes a real special type of player to want to play such an under dog class. If you going to give PvP a real boost, it would require a no kidding normalization between all the arch-types; which is a step beyond and most players would be so totally against for they like the status quo the enjoy. Think of a balance between dps and protection, the more dps the less protection; if enforced you approach arch-type balance. So for example a scraper has tremendous dps and very good protections; which by the dps versus protection rule it is out of balance. In my opinion, PvP is as good as it gets, without a major rebalance and design of the game, who most folks just don't want Sue

This is just a QoL request, not a game breaker thing... How many times, you see a character go about, and you think, I been looking for those gloves, top, or whatever like forever and can't quite stumble on it... Would be nice, if I could click on that character, and then go to options and then click "identify costume"; afterwards it saves a costume file, named ident_001 for example. Later you can go to Icons, and go to the tailor and load the saved file, and then go thru the parts so you can learn how to get to them, and what was the name! After you can back-out and fix the costume they way you want. Hugs Sue

Knockback and knockdown each has its uses. A soloing support class, would rather have knockback and keep the mobs away! While Melee types would rather knock them down, rather than chase them all over the map! So at the end, it should be an option, in the options menu to have the effect to knockdown and knockback. In real life, we can make such a choice when strike something by choosing the direction on how we hit something, so this is not like magic, just a courtesy from the devs to players. Sue

I like the proposal The reprograming of a portal, should not be too hard, its technology, just think how long it takes to load an app on your phone. Lets be honest about this, in the old days, the need to have time sinks were a primary objective of developers. The need for such time sinks, is no longer valid, and that is why developers have worked so hard with the transportation system to make the inter travel between missions less boring. So having the same portal for all missions, is not much of a leap of faith here. Sue

I thought by using I thought, it was leaving room for uncertainty, and not a statement of fact, for I truly do not know what the devs truly had on mind or true purpose, it seemed Srmalloy tends to concur with my thought, thus I am not alone with the chain of thought. I am curious, what is your belief?

I don't get the need for the below -1, at least for the reason stated. If the game played by a somewhat experienced player, I truly can't see them not being able to complete a mission while being "solo" regardless of class. Now that said, perhaps having a mission in stupid-easy mode, would be convenient for badge hunters, who truly could care less for the mission story, all they want is the badge... Sue

I would appreciate more constructive comments, if possible... Sue

You believe or you know? I thought the original intent for unslotters was to allow you to remove an IO and replace for another one, you may think it was more advantageous.

Mmm.... Not sure Procs need to be "nurfed" at all, when looked with a narrow view, they may appear over-powered, but if you look at them taking a few steps back, the perception will certainly change. In order to put that many Procs in a power, that means that many slots where not used for something and thus there is a definite trade that goes with it. For example, when I used on a few of my alts multi-proc powers; there are usually 2 things that goes down: Power Recharge and Defense, that is a lot to give up for a little more DPS. Some my alts had gone from 50s defense to the 35s, and their power recharge almost halved; these are very significant sacrifices for that modest gain in DPS. To help validate this, say you want to 3 proc a power, that means that slot s4,5 and 6 are procs. In most IO sets, the 4th combo gives you recharge time, the 5th and 6th are mostly defense and resistance to toxic and psionic. So by going to a single power to 3 proc, I already gave up 10% recharge, and 5% defense in four different defense types; that is a high price to pay to do more damage when the procs happen to work. I suggest before, going around nurfing anything, to please look at the big picture, before going crazy doing changes based in a very narrow perception. Hugs Sue

Hi: This is a QoL, nothing to fall on your sword stuff, it is just a step forward to the new IO enhancement GUI There are times, I getting ready for a new alt, and I want to begin acquiring and prepping IOs to that end. When I get an IO, I have two choices: Boost them up to +5 or Catalyst them to make them to attune them. The suggestion, is just like I can do an enhancement conversion, perhaps I can have a new choice under enhancements in the enhancement tab in your tray, to give this three choices:: 1) Manage, 2) Modify 3) Enhance When you click Enhance, it opens a new GUI (same way modify does), and just like modify you drag from your inventory the IO to be enhanced to the upper part. On the side you have the choice to apply 1) Catalyst, 2) Boost+1, 3) Boost+5; also shown are you stocks of Catalysts and +1 boosters. The GUI does not care the entering state of the IO, if had a catalyst already and you click +1 boost, you will lose the Catalyst (you should have been more careful, if this was not what you wanted), in the same vein you could have an IO already boosted by 2, and you click boost +5, you will still pay 5 +1 boosters and the GUI will behave as if the IO had none (Once more be careful with your choices), lastly if the original IO was IO boost +3 and you click Catalyst, the IO will be attuned and any boosters that it may had, will be lost. By doing this a player can pre-enhance IOs for alts, without having to install and then remove with an enhancement unslotter, and also be able to change a boosted IO to attuned and reverse as well. Just a QoL to make alt IO slotting more comfortable, also this has the benefit of removing influence off the game since the catalysts or boosters being destroyed during the exchange process are lost and usually valued as much as 1M influence each in AH. Hugs Sue

Hunts in my opinion are anti-climatic in a interesting story arc, it is more feel breaking if the target of the hunt is rare, like carnival of shadows who do not even have a real area its theirs. Get a mission, hunt, defeat 40 carnival, and you are in boredom town, since they may appear somewhere occupied by a Rickti, Nemesis or Malta. So when a hunt is called for in a TF or Arc, it would be nice if the hunt itself, is not fastidious as in finding the darn mob type. I would also like to see in some missions or Tfs, where you have to go to fight the mob, such as kill Crey in Crey's Folley, just get the darn numbner of them anywhere you can, and get it over.... I would suggest in a Numina, which is essentially a hunt all over, to allow things being defeated in any order and simultaneous, so while some are defeating trolls, and others are defeating warriors, etc., all at the same time and tallying them in parallel as opposed to wait for someone to be cleared and advanced to the next one. Just something to make Numina less of a drag... Hugs Sue

It's a QoL suggestion... I was thinking we could go to the Pv2 Vendor, and spend $1M influence and gain the ability to summon a vendor we can sell our salvage, inspirations, and enhancements to or be able to buy inspirations from just as a regular vendor can. Same mechanic as in summoning a crafting table, where any one could use the vendor, its on location for awhile, not sure how long a crafting table lasts, and then it dissipates and have a similar recharge time as well. As I said, only a convenience Hugs Sue

I don't, once is enough. And I would appreciate your being more polite. Thank you Sue
