because there's no reason to have it be this way really. I don't even care about a daily cap, but actively encouraging people not to join a low level TF while you can get a higher reward from the same TF but on a high difficulty should probably be avoided at all costs.

Honestly? I appreciate the effort here to make changes that are bold and so widespread but this one wasn't it. I don't really get it though, if the intention of the change was for design reasons, couldn't you just apply this to your new TF/Arc enemies or was this another one of those everything or nothing modifications?

Just get rid of all of this "Oh i better not join this lower difficulty TF so i don't miss my maximized daily reward" avoid this at all costs. Just keep a daily cap you're happy with and stop caring what people do to get there.

thanks

Nice, it's time for yet another kheldian thread sick man rage thread next?

Pretty much this, nothing in a set should ever be universally seen as skip-able. There is no reason that isn't completely arbitrary for a power to be "bad" and quite frankly would literally be bad game design to think otherwise. I always thought It'd be cool to have hurl boulder do a tiny bit of splash damage, not so much as a way to fix balancing or anything but more so because you're tossing a giant boulder into a crowd of people. The gap between Focus and Serpent's goes from 3s difference to 1s difference in terms of recharge. (made both builds to have 160 global recharge). Even if it isn't the primary way of balancing, you still need to take IO's into account since post-50 on HC fully IO'ing is the normal. (not to say that doesn't mean focus wouldn't outpace it still) I dunno if you have that many builds prepared to compare fully IO'd versions of all those... maybe you do? 😅

Serpents Reach and Focused Burst / Repulsing Torrent. Three more ranged in melee that aren't terrible. That said, i don't really think hurl boulder is the hill to die on. It's not terrible but it's not good either. It's not gonna tip Stone Melee one way or the other. Fault/Tremor still can though.

It's exactly what disproves the logic, especially "not using in melee" If you don't use attacks just because you're not at an arbitrary distance you're literally playing wrong. Blasters don't just suddenly jump away after using melee to use range. Point blank blaze 😛 A power doesn't need to be ranged Seismic Smash, but it doesn't need to be bad -just- because of something completely arbitrary like "It's ranged". Focus alone, if you don't use it in your melee attack chain you're doing it wrong.

Yes but even the others you said were bad and the epics you dismissed because they're epics, doesn't disprove "It's ranged so it has to be bad" to be a bad take. Even with the no build up argument, So i'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. Hurl doesn't need to be a skip-able bad power just because it's ranged on a melee set, It's terrible logic.

Gonna have to agree, Tremor still feels bad especially when the set's big ST can't full crit in favor of more holding power which TBH horrible trade.

Simple but makes the most sense naming wise.

After a day of playing it now I'm gonna have to agree. The mechanic is really cool and good just feels a little soft still. Maybe just a tad bit more damage and if you don't wanna pump the damage up too much, additional cage (maybe lower mag?) on a chained target at max stacks Elec blast is -almost- in that sweet spot.

Can we allow innertube in the atlas statue pools even though its shallow? please

After using it for awhile, I love the VS toggle. I might be biased, I'm always in a Faraday cage and have soft cap'd ranged defense so i don't have toggle dropping issues ever. Even so, It being a toggle is lovely. Elec Blast overall feels much better.

instead players respec'd out of the armor set and now you barely see them, unicorn armor set.

You can't just say brave and true things like this. The new difficulty options shine a massive spot light on Rage in specific. The crash is a death sentence in the higher modes. Hopefully this will encourage addressing the hot issue that is the current state of Super Strength faster.

Meteor needs to be a bit faster i think otherwise set is fun.

Thank you for the LRSF and the additional stuff with it, I'll stop making posts about it now i promise ❤️ If it's un-nerfed outside of the challenge mode, which i was told it is on discord, it might be important to mention they're 54 on that difficulty outside of the challenge.

Inspirations / Temp powers would trivialize the new difficulty settings rather quickly, since inspirations are the most overpowered thing in city of heroes. Here is a comment from discord I think you'll enjoy the idea behind though. Number Six — Yesterday at 3:20 PM They could potentially be an engaging gameplay mechanic if you were allowed to, for example, only use 2 inspirations during a boss fight. So which two and when?

Do you mean the hospital button? 😉

That's what set me off in the first place, and I'll be first to admit I return toxicity when its given. It's gotten me in trouble on the forums before but i don't do well with being talked down to or insulted and this entire exchange started because of a blatant toxic comment of saying PvPers are toxic people, despite most PvPers i've ever met being some of the nicer people in the game. Always willing to help out new people, teaming with less experienced people in kickballs, and general build help and advice on getting started. It's disrespect to a lot of friends and in my case now family members who loved and enjoyed PvP and were nothing but kind people.

Stop playing the victim card, lets reword your sentence. Ah i see, because you dont like pvp and others disagree, then you can attack them with insults. That's very noble.

Our first interaction, -I agreed with you- and then, your follow up was to be toxic about how you'd stop donating if resources was put twords PvP and how terrible PvP is. you came into this thread just to be toxic about PvP, you have no ground to stand on in the blame game.

Unlike you, i can actually back up my claims.

Nice dodge of misreading and insulting me, sure that's not toxic at all. Or do you need more time to think of a new lie? I'm 100% name calling and be toxic in my replies to you, I'm only giving my toxicity back to your toxicity.
