@Leogunner Perhaps you should try reading. As for the name; Most of this just doesn't sound like a power set. Flashy names are fun but they don't work. Power sets are intentionally designed to be brief generic descriptions of what a power set is or relates to. Conductive Care IMO would imply more healing. It's a support set, like Electric interface would have been good if not for the interface incarnate stuff. side note, can we get an elec based healing set named Conductive care? or at least rename the heal to it.

Right because "BLOOD BOILING" isn't an overreaction. You and that other person are gigantic eyerolls.

Your exact comments were They were not bullied into anything. They saw the multiple reasons of why people didn't like the name, agreed that 1) Didn't really fit in well with the naming convention 2) Maybe it's best to avoid this topic due to political/personal nature of it 3) Affinity still sounded cool enough to not just be "Electric buffs". If you're unwilling to accept that there was more reason other than "muh offends" then that's your problem.

Claiming ECT at people is just a way to group and belittle because you disagree with their views. Similar to how "Ok boomer" is dismissing someone without providing much effort to argue. Most people in the other thread were very civil and calm about their concerns. Just because one person over reacted be it due to personal experiences causing a trigger or just being an emotional person doesn't give people the right to just try and cancel *see what i did there* their right to have an opinion. I personally was in the camp of the name just not being a good fit because of other sets and not so much the offensive part but it's completely absurd to call ECT or "snowflakes" or even "bullies" for having an opinion on why the old name or new name doesn't fit for them. Also 100x what MonkiLord said. HC has been nothing but professional in handling this.

Well, not understanding why you got called a boomer makes me even more suspicious of you being a boomer tbh. Also yeah i saw that, it's why i removed the other part. I thought you meant the media shit from live servers haha had me going wtf

Outrage cancel culture. ok boomer

Nobody is censoring you, what an over reaction. I wasn't even referring to anything you said either so...awkward much? Censoring would be telling people who think the term was better left unused that they're "shouting down" the devs and telling them how wrong they are for finding it offensive. I still find it completely ridiculous the level of people belittling others for expressing an opinion on an actually controversial subject being unfit to be a power set. This is insane. I'm not even in that camp and i find it ridiculous that people would actually bully others by insulting and trying to shame them for it, go outside this is a game. Also @Doomrider this set being DOA due to -end being shit is exactly why i haven't bothered to comment on it much outside of saying -end sucks haha

This is incorrect. Most people didn't like it because it didn't fit naming convention and sounded like a power not a set. Your narrative of it being offensive was 3 or 4 people. Your suggestion is just change for change sake imo and accomplishes nothing. Not everything has to be unique and this sounds like an incarnate ability not a set.

Imagine putting others down because you think others shouldn't think something is in poor taste. Honestly this thread was a mistake, it's showing how ugly people can be just because they want a flashy name.

I've never cared about if it was offensive or not. You just said literally and well... My second comment is more about how they're a crazy villain and...well not much else.

Ah yes, support sets. The thrilling adventures of "Trick Arrow" and "Traps". Lets not forget "Kinetics" or "Force Field" Not generic at all. With names like those maybe this set should just be called "Electric buffs" Also "Chaining" in a game term sense, plus chain lightning is a real thing. Not literal metal chains. also, you haven't played the set if you don't think it literally shows you and another person connected via an electrical chain.

The entire forums is a vocal minority. It's the same 50 people arguing in a circle.

Do you mean Shock Treatment? "Literally". That character is a complete lunatic and a villain.

Ok then we'll do other examples. Every blast set. Every armor set except Bio. Every control set. Generic names used more as a description than a name. With Electrical Affinity you're literally chaining yourself to your allies and most of your abilities rely on another person to even be activated. That sparks Kinship to me.

The generic argument falls flat. Most sets have generic names, which is the point. 'super strength' Do you know how generic putting super in front of something is in the hero world? imagine someone putting super in front of their name? how boring

Shock isn't quite the same. Static or Current would have been more fitting. Shock is something you'd expect to see in the naming of a power.

So it's an overall naming convention thing and not specific to the word therapy. Electric armor / Electric blast / Electric Control / Shock Therapy That's like having Radiation Armor / Radiation Melee / Radiation Emission / NUCLEAR FIREPOWER see the issue? It very well could have been Electric Therapy but it seems most people wanted to avoid any connotation whatsoever.

The change was more necessary because of naming convention than it was due to offensive nature. Electrical Affinity sounds way better and fits with other sets, also it has a fun biochem thing going on by implying you're combing your power with theirs. Darkness Affinity Nature Affinity

Good change 10/10

-No AH/IO's -Past level 32 +2/x2 no lower -Past 47 +2/x4 no lower -On death, either delete the toon or move it to a normal character (most chose to just keep them but no longer abide by hardcore) -Only hardcore play on teams. -No inspirations (These are for babies anyway) -No self rez powers (sorry) -Incarnate is fine but if you do, +3/x6 no lower -No Empathy. -At level 50 and full incarnate +4/x8 only no lower

-end is the worst form of control. It'd be cool if it did something but again its important that whatever happens be applied to players as well.

They aren't really that hard to be honest, you'd need to beef them up by adding a special unit that zapped away your incarnare abilities or something and then sure sounds good.

If the devs could make this happen then more mission types sounds good to me.

So just do it? You don't need the game to do it for you. Just make a guy and if you die delete him. Put up in your LFG "Hardcore only" or something and there you go.

I like the idea of making neat little non-canon story lines using the characters. Can AE even be made to do this though? As far as XP goes I'm a staunch leave AE alone kind of person but if you're morphed into an unkillable badass then sure remove XP, thats fair enough.
