I've recently taken to Illusion/Storm on a controller, and have been enjoying it MUCH more than I originally thought. So, I suggest giving storm secondary a shot. It really is like having two primary power sets.

GM Cyclone had so much love and humour, you couldn't help but be happy around him. His happiness was contagious, and it was a real privilege to work beside him helping this community we love so much. Requiescant in pace amici mei (Rest in peace my friend)

Thank you for telling us your story! It's great to be a part of someone's origin story like this! Many of the impacts someone has in this world are left unknown to them. Thank you for sharing how we have impacted you. It means the world to us.

That would be awesome! Especially if given pet controls, like a temporary Mastermind. That might be a little too far into the over powered spectrum, but still is a cool thought!

I don't remember that, but it would make sense. Your clear times would improve as the confused enemies are helping you kill things. I do wonder if the reduced exp is similar to that when using lore pets. Since it does follow the same logic - you aren't actually the one doing the killing. And if that is true, I also wonder if the same exp debuff holds true for regular pets (not mastermind pets). I'll have to do some testing on this for sure! Personally, I prefer Seeds of Confusion. And putting in the Coercive Persuasion proc to help things along is amazingly helpful.

Hey folks, remember to keep things civil. Debates are natural when it comes to suggestions for game updates, but we need to take care and treat folks with respect.

Thank You! I'll pass your thanks to the rest of the team 🙂

I would like to see this added to the Oro arcs. Especially if something happens and you disconenct from the game, and come back to find it glitched and non-repeatable. So, I can see this being added to oro, or perhaps allow the contact to be restarted after it's finished.

To open zipped files, you would need to download and install a program like 7zip

Earlier today, some discussions on the HC Discord prompted the idea of being able to toggle PVP inside of SG bases. Some folks even discussed the fun activities they could do. Like Role Playing, Raiding, etc. What are your thoughts on the idea of being able to toggle PVP on and off inside of SG bases?
