No attacks available should allow for the backpack to not be rendered, such as activating Walk, which suppresses all powers and makes attacking impossible. Just because it is a backpack does not mean that it should be impossible to hide it. Characters with the two-handed titan weapons can choose not to carry them on their back and the weapon appears to be pulled out of nothingness. Why is this (and all other weapon attacks) acceptable but concealing a backpack with mechanical arms not an option?

My character has flight. Why should I be able to turn it off? Some people have gun attacks. Why should their guns not ALWAYS be in hand and ready to use? Nature Affinity characters can control plants and are surrounded by plant life, but only when using their powers.....why not have them wrapped in plants at all times? Because sometimes you're not actively using your powers and don't want to have some visual effect dominating your presence.

That isn't the point. The point is why enable those type of people by making things more scarce, which will only hurt the casual gamer more?

And I work hard for the money

It is possible that things occur without you personally experiencing them. I've joined teams and was told "you've got no set bonuses" and stood around waiting for an invite from someone recruiting for a TF and ignored outright, only to be sent a tell by someone on the team after they've left telling me to finish my build.

I don't play twenty-year-old game for the competitive experience of trying to beat out other players in PVP, marketplace acquisitions, daily or even weekly raids, badge count, or any other bragging rights area. I play the game to relax and enjoy the nostalgia. You know what ruins relaxation and nostalgia? Coming up short on properly equipping my characters so that I get to a point and can't hold up my end on a team because I'm relying on basic IOs or even in some cases SOs. Make it harder by making items scarcer? Screw that and everyone that supports the idea.

You can find a broken hearts aura under the Spring option

You can hide the UI in the costume creator?

A heist! One more job, and we're out.

Try adding wings in the costume editor. They put you in a flying/hover animation that might trigger the rocket boot aura.

I approve.

There's a difference in how it's presented by some people. Mentioning that something may be difficult or comparing it to something else that has been stated as unlikely or even not possible is fine as it helps manage expectations. But using that as a hammer to drive home a point of someone not wanting to see the devs "waste their time" on it because they don't like the suggestion isn't really productive discussion. If you don't like something, say so, maybe explain why, but don't hide behind devs time or what you believe isn't possible as justification to shoot down an idea or try to stop discussion of the idea.

Hate him. End of storry. Not me. I honestly hope he lost friends over time and became a broken shell of a man. Yep. That is the problem, and sadly there is no getting around it because that's how it was intended to work for reasons explained above by Ukase. That said, At low levels, I have no difficulty with controllers or other squishies. Even the melee types are weak at that level, often being forced to pick between an extra attack or more protection, either making them more vulnerable in order to attack more or deal less damage with a somewhat improved survivability. Containment helps with controller damage, even at low level. You can also buy temp powers to pad your survivability and damage potential from the START vendor. For higher levels, it's important to note that Containment did get expanded to include additional benefits for controllers in the most recent update. One difficulty for controllers was a lack of pet control... and what good is your tier 9 pet if you cant aim it at the target that needs it, such as a mez-resistant EB when the pet would formerly attack randomly whatever was in range. At least now you can focus that damage on a target of your choosing, right?

That would be the bate channel

I'm ready to read that comic and get in line for that movie.

Don't you mean "Same bait time, same bait channel"?

I disagree. And I farted when I did it.

Pizza means someone thinks your comment/post is cheesy, but is it good cheesy (with pepperoni) or bad cheesy (with pineapple).

Decoration.

I have seen people use a second account to position themselves better for screenshots. Make a tiny character and give it hover for 3D maneuverability to get all the best angles. Also make it a stalker so you can have the most likely lower level toon follow you around safely.....except where snipers are an issue.

Or maybe they can just see the psychic beams coming at them really slowly. psi blasts seem to have a longer range but feel slower than other attacks.
