I need to call down the lightning from ion but to then to smash my fist into the ground like mighty with a lightning explosion. An alternate animation for mighty is probably best.

Several of the buff sets especially have gone from overperforming to underperforming without having had any changes. Having someone with force field was amazing back in the day but now alot of players have their defense capped without outside buffs. I dont think empathy was ever really overperforming but its healing is hardly necessary now and by extension the regen buff as well. Pretty much everything empathy offers is available to anyone through set enhancements. Of course low level content exists and high level players without set enhancements exist as well but this isnt the 'whats good with only SOs' thread.

Just a distant relative. He hasnt called in years....oh, Manticore said hes had that one for several years. Im sure its just a coincidence.

This thread will probably end up the same but i was hoping more for what people felt was doing well or poorly and less about what people wanted the devs to look at. A set can be great or garbage and not need a dev review.

An excellent point that someones underperformer can be someone elses overperformer.

(Im not calling out for buffs or nerfs, just your thoughts on where you feel powersets and ATs are falling performance-wise.) Some sets are nearly identical while others are nothing like the other options for an archtype. There are also tons of ways to measure the effectiveness of a set whether its damage, mitigation, solo or team play, high or low level and numerous other possibilities. What are your opinions on which powersets and archtypes over or underperform? Ill go ahead and say kinetics is overperforming. I love kinetics but damage is king in this game and a single kinetics user can damage cap a whole team. Throw in speed boost and its crazy how much damage a single player can buff their team. Fulcrum Shift was the best and got nerfed a long time ago and is still the best single power in the game (in my opinion) On the other hand, regen kinda sucks. Nerf regen is the running joke but thats because it was nerfed at least 4 times. I dont think there is any hope for regen at this point since willpower is basically a 'fixed regen' at this point. Regen can still be useful but i dont feel like a hero with regen, I feel like a sidekick that can heal sometimes. For archtypes (and im shooting myself in the foot here) tanks are overperforming. I mostly play tanks and even i can admit that they are too effective currently. When your healer friends are bored because you can jump into a full +4x8 mob and never take any damage its hard to deny. Granted it takes planning and a large cost to make a near invincible tank. But its still possible and with tank damage buffs it makes me want to remake my brutes as tanks. Finally for my underperforming archtype....masterminds. I almost went sentinel but mastermind pet level differences are horrible. Players against +4 mobs are doing less damage and less hit chance but MM pets are 5 and 6 levels below. Its no secret that their pets do the majority of the damage but if you play higher then +2 you are doing almost nothing with your pets. So thats my starter list. Feel free to agree or disagree and pick your own over and underperformers. The only list that is correct is the one you make yourself. Ill be happy to see yours.

There is certainly room to squeeze more performance out of your build but its not required to join an incarnate trial. Finding out when your server runs itrials and showing up then is about it. Indom has a bit lower population right now so their raids tend to have some open space that im sure they will like to have you fill. And without picking apart your whole build, the 1 thing that sticks out to me is the 3 lvl 50+5 recharge IOs in hasten and the 3 in burnout. With enhancement diversification, that 3rd recharge is doing almost nothing. For a total build rework there are other areas to gain some performance but that is probably better off in the brute forum.

For shame timmy. This is clearly a feature and not a bug.

/whereami Likely the cause is pathing beacons. The game thinks the shortest way is through the wall but gets blocked. Summon another one or teleport it is your best bet for now.

Alter the confused enemies hitbox color so players can tell who is confused without looking for tiny purple (or potentially recolored if implimented) bubbles in the heat of battle. Yellow hit boxes already exist, use that. Or use purple because purple = confuse. I love to confuse some bad guys and im sure my friends would love to troll me by killing the confused targets first....i mean they would love to let them live till last if they could tell which ones they were.

I always skip the self rez powers. For a power to be useful only when every single one of your other powers has failed is a deal breaker for me. I dont mind powersets that have skippable powers though since im able to have more options with pool powers. Some have already suggested their changes and others have said leave the powers as is. I would have the powers changed that clicking the power while still alive gives you an amount of time (20 seconds?) where if you fall to 0 hp then the normal revive effect will happen but you never actually fall to the ground. And if you survive that entire time then a lesser effect of the power will happen, perhaps a mag 3 stun and 25% of the normal damage. The self rezzes that are only a rez and nothing else could get some absorb shield if their rez effect isnt needed for the duration. Overall though im still fine with them being skippable. When a power is only as good as a single inspiration, i probably wont take it.

So we can have Popeye legs but not Popeye arms. To the suggestion forum !

Its stuck like that till server restarts on maintenance day. Its happened to me before. If you turn off the system channel then u wont see the spam but u wont see other system messages that you may want.

It said happy april first at the bottom without an edit. Thats a joke in my mind. My April fools is in general discussion about MIDS Mobile but ill be editing it when the ingame april fools ends since i tried to make it look convincing and have people click a rickroll.

Ive found sarcastic humor difficult to pull off through text. But as the original poster you can use the moderation options at the top to hide the thread if you choose.

Wind control powers are in the game files but i dont know if animations are. Im guessing the animations are not or we probably would have seen it by now. Doesnt mean the team wont finish it, but my understanding is animations are the more labor intensive part of a powerset.

Ya i went to try it today since i had work yesterday and i missed out. I did get several mapserver invasion teams though so theres that.

thats just my mobile build

I play 1920x1080 and its fine.

Edit: This post was for April Fools 2022. Continue reading for a laugh. The MIDS mobile download link at the bottom is fake and will take you to a youtube video of a talking piano doing a rickroll. I just wanted to get a shout out and thank you to the MIDS team for getting the first version of MIDS mobile running. Im not a programmer but it seems to be a mostly functional beta build and we get to test it out. The UI seems to be directly ported over from the PC version and some of the buttons seem kinda small. Thankfully you can zoom in to tap the right spot. I suppose if you use a larger screen it wouldnt be an issue but my phone doesnt have all that big of a screen. I took screenshots but that didnt make much sense to show its mobile so i got some pictures from another phone instead. I took several pictures but alot of them came out really fuzzy so im showing the most clear pictures i got. They are kinda huge so i put them in spoiler tags. Mids on the home screen Mids loading A character loaded in After tapping on an enhancement Again a huge thank you to everyone that works on MIDS. Now i can increase my productivity while at work. And if you want to increase your productivity as well then check out the MIDS Mobile Download.

5 and a half million USD for 30 seconds. If i could afford that i would just fund CoH myself for the next 50 years.

Well if i could afford a super bowl ad then i could probably afford a favorable talk with NC as well 😛

Screw the talks. Take out a 30 second SuperBowl ad and the server population issues will be solved. Then the servers will be overpopulated so i guess it wont be solved. But we dont have a few million dollars to buy superbowl ad space with so it probably doesnt matter. What we can do is get the word out ourselves. Tell our friends or make some youtube videos since the ban was lifted. People wont come if they dont know CoH is back. Yes its an old game, but its probably the best that is supported by donation only and still getting updated.

A click accolade that is equivalent to a large red or a large dual red/yellow on a 10 minute timer actually sounds very reasonable.
