Has anyone tried this yet? https://www.xda-developers.com/i-used-a-haptic-vest-for-gaming-heres-how-it-went/

I see what you are saying.... or do I

I started a Psi Armore/Psy melee and so far it is good. I will be visiting my main Ice/Ice/Ice tanker ... those changes are worrisome. I really liked where I ended up with this character.

I don't mind them. I do wish we had an option to go from the end of power selection to adding slots in.

I like the Sutter maps—good mix of indoor and outdoor. My favorite map is the sunken ship, where we fight Kraken tentacles ....can't remember the mission or story arc.

Please read my "Why I Am Thankful." I believe my post is not clutter because I discuss June as Men's Mental Health Month and the value of CoH in my life.

Breaking the Rhyme Scheme Hey everyone! It’s Men's Mental Health Month, and I just wanted to take a moment to share how much I appreciate having this game as a little escape from everything going on in the world. It’s not just about running around, completing missions, and fighting enemies—there’s so much more to do! From sprucing up your base and customizing your costumes to trying out new builds, there’s always something fun to keep you engaged. Some days, I love to just chill in my base, catching up on chat while I do a few things on my second computer. And yes, I do get outside and enjoy some time in nature—I make sure to touch some grass now and then! I’m also at that stage in life where my parents are growing older and, sadly, departing this plane of existence. Home doesn’t feel like home anymore, but I find comfort in the gaming community and the connections we share.

Exactly

....damn ....

I play on a Lenovo Legion connected to a 27-inch monitor. I use the ingame keymapping and need the numpad. This laptop has one, so it is nice when I travel, but still want to play.

Gonna need a pic of your setup, please

The point is, he bases his article on one power change that he dislikes, using it as a point to criticize the devs. Sure. He easily could have mentioned things that are included in this patch, but chose to focus on one thing. Two new powersets for one. One powerset I think has been asked for. You are also overthinking what a comprehesive breakdown is. "Kallisti Wharf has been revamped into a fully-fledged level 40–50 co-op zone. Two new powersets have been introduced. The sleep mechanic has been overhauled. Adjustments have been made to archetypes and powersets. New story arcs and missions have been added. AND bugs fixed." Doing something with Kallista has been asked for. He does mention it, but there is a lot with this addition. The Psionic armor, I think, has been suggested at some point. Not understanding what "critical analysis" is was used earlier in the thread. You may have missed it. And my post was based on that, having a more humorous perspective than you are choosing to take. ... yes, people criticize cats for not being dogs. ... they do reference games as evidence to support their perspective of the state of the game.

No demands. My expectations are valid, and I am free to criticize an opinion that omits a significant amount of information. He talks little at all about what is in the update. It doesn't have to be detailed. From this article, do we know that we are getting two new power sets. Nope What else are we getting? No idea. He mentions nothing. What other changes? Again nothing.

Sure. It is also labeled as a preview, but it previews nothing in the game.

Yes

Putting my teacher grading glasses to examine his "critical analysis" He critiques the patch by arguing that it promotes a trend favoring fast-paced, damage-centric (“DPS rush”) gameplay. He is concerned that archetypes focused on crowd control and support—especially Controllers—are being devalued due to reductions in target caps and increases in cooldowns. As a result, these archetypes are becoming less viable outside of specific high-end content, such as Hamidon raids. (okay, yes-maybe) He does not provide a comprehensive breakdown of the patch notes. Instead, he chose to critique the philosophical and design trajectory of the game. For an opinion piece sure, but for an outright crtical analysis ...falls short. Very short. Based on his article alone ... WHAT is in the next patch update? No idea. I don't see everything that is in here. I have read through the update. There are changes and updates that interest me. One of my mains is an Ice/Ice/Ice tanker ... truly want to test the changes to that set. In a good way. Adaptive Recharge on several powers ... ok! Yes, somethings makes me scratch my head ... but I will see how it plays. His opinion article focused on one power as an example to critique the state of the game and the volunteers maintaining it. Speed. I did a 4star All Widow ITF last night. THAT was not slow. Had a blast! Again, it IS an opinion piece, so I am free to share my opinion of his opinion. He fell short.

I guess you are

I see you *currently on my stalker But you don't see me

I truly appreciate your post. I highlighted what hit home.
