Hey if you drink the Enriche you'll have an easier time accepting any changes made.

NGL removing the AE from Mercy and replacing it with rubble feels like they're taking the piss on fire farmers. Might as well make the one in Atlas a daycare centre.

Loving the Praetoria vibes here. Ignore every dissident and just live in positivity - Enriche only. You really think people who raise concerns or have opposing views prowl through these forums daily 24/7 have nothing better to do and are fueled by vitriol just to harass you or the Devs? Most of these "trolls" ARE passionate about the game and barring the occasional inflammatory posts (which people of both sides do indulge in). Think just think. If more of "trolls" are showing up on the forums just to voice their dissent, please reflect on what has spurred this kind of opposition. Not just "Ooooh TROLLS HATE HOMECOMING AND DEVS, TROLLS BAD IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE!"

Okay Praetor Moonsheep, I’ll drink the Enriche and respect the Seer Network 😏😏😏

Not sure why my statement was an iffy statement. META means Most Effective Tactics Available. No matter how much fluff and random personal anecdotes, COH is about getting from Objective A to B in a mission/TF/iTrial and if you're going for META, it means killing mobs as fast as possible in between the objectives. AND Masterminds / Controllers with Pets (case of Illusion Control - PA) only benefit from Musculature and I'm pretty certain the other Alphas do not bestow their benefits to the pets.

@Glacier Peak May I know why I got downvoted? Is going Musculature T4 and/or Ageless going against the Homecoming™ Dev-Approved Way of Playing?

T4 Musculature for most ATs. From Blasters to Masterminds it increases kill speed so much 🙂 Ageless Destiny makes end issues non-existent and smooths out your playstyle regardless of AT via recovery, recharge and sustainability.

I made mine a /Fire dominator on Test. The combination sticks to ranged. Illusion control could use an AOE Immob just to keep things tidy but I guess that's just the nature of illusion control.

Overall the set feels good to play, especially with various options to shut down a mob. Gleam feels fast to use and effective in domination. Spectral Terror is a nice 30% -tohit when slotted. While Phantom Army feels a bit less safe without Taunt, it still can be used to absorb mobs alpha strikes. The damage is pretty good for a Dominator Primary, might be comparable to a mini-ST focused Plant Control Carrior Creeper. Phantasm feels less durable than the Controller version due to the lack of buff/debuff powers. This is just spitballing and wishlisting but could Superior Invisiblity be swapped out for another soft control? Like an AOE immobilize or something. Or would that be too strong for the set?

I love the additional slotting options on Enchant Undead + Dark Empowerment. Slotting Resist IOs make the Pets tankier and Heal IOs into Empowerment gave them hefty self heals via their siphon life powers.

Is there a technical limitation preventing the proliferation of claw weapon costume options to Arachnos Widows?

Love this idea! Might as well kill the enemies instead of just standing there staring at each other.

Thanks! Was gonna pull that screenshot too. So my point still stands, just postponed. It would be helpful to get their views/direction going forward soon that way at least people can stop fighting fruitlessly against future changes. 🤡

they posted in the beta thread that they were going to release a statement on the changes. but oppsies. i guess it’s easier to just let things slide over and have the fans silence any pockets of dissent on the threads as most players in HC don’t scrutinize the forums.

Hmm I would think Melee + Ranged softcaps are more important in my opinion as most of the annoying attacks belong to those categories. Melee for the heavy hitting attacks and Ranged for the holds etc.

I would suggest dropping Scorpion Shield and going for a +res toggle instead. That way you can slot in a 4 slot Unbreakable Guard for the Melee Def. Also try to reconfigure your build and move away from Elemental Typed Defenses, with Defender values for Manuevers, Weave, Combat Jumping/Hover and Agility Alpha, it can be achievable to obtain at least 2 positional softcap.

I think of COH/Homecoming as a retirement game. You come here once in a while, try things out, taste the nostalgia and enjoy the thrill of being a superhero. If I wanted a game that reinvents the wheel or a game where I have to tryhard because people find it "too easy", I'd go play a competitive MOBA or an MMO with Raids/Dungeons progressions. Not sure what people have to prove by coming up with ways that penalize and/or make the game harder for casuals. Should you even care that much that a player has more ATOs/ Winter IOs or Incarnate Powers or Emp Merits than you? It's only your own ego that you need soothing, there's no leaderboard or typical MMO-progression in COH/Homecoming.

cult-like mentality lol having access to the game should not be used to dissuade people pushing for changes

Why is everyone babying the person who started the antagonistic behaviour first?

HC Community: "Come play on Homecoming, we've got a friendly and large community!" Also HC Community: "You have gone against the devs, you are a troll get out"

The posts in beta stated that enemy groups/NPCS attacks were all shifted to one elemental type (e.g. Smashing/Negative/Fire) and a positional tag (Ranged/Melee/AOE). No justification released from the devs yet. But at this point, I think the patch is ready to go live soon anyways.

Yeah of course, but if the leader wants to run at +4, should the leader exclude non-50s and non-incarnates then?

Yeah I'm not sure the Emp Merit to Reward Merit conversion or AFK Farmers/AE Farmers cause Inflation. Rehashing my post from the AE thread: https://samhaine.wordpress.com/2010/11/29/from-radioactive-to-riches-the-jenny-gamma-story-part-3/ Look at the prices in Live Recipes Number Purchased Average Price Paid Recipe: Blessing of the Zephyr -KB L50 25 8,040,185 Recipe: Gift of the Ancients Defense L40 3 4,500,000 Recipe: Luck of the Gambler +Recharge L50 7 100,000,171 Recipe: Luck of the Gambler Def L50 3 30,000,000 Recipe: Luck of the Gambler Def/End/Rech L50 1 4,000,171 Recipe: Numina’s Convalescence +Rech/Rec, L40 1 50,000,171 Sold Item Number Sold Average Price Received Luck of the Gambler +Recharge 7 132,857,143 Numina’s Convalescence Reg/Rec 1 121,000,000 https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/coh-v-inventions-you.542035/ 2 billion Inf for Gladiator +3def omegalul. These prices were because in Live, reward merits were harder to obtain and in lesser numbers. So what happens when the Emp Merits - Reward Merits are taken away? If by inflation you mean like 1-2M more, sure I guess you could classify that as inflation???
