This patch sure has brought out the best in people and the forums. 😆
But yea, this patch sure has affected some ATs more than others.
And there's the other reason I've been posting and playing less and less.

Are you going to do Bill's thing of becoming upset when I mention this mechanic we all know of? Do you have any other example that is not SS at least?
Uncalled for and you know it. Followup also benefits tank/scrap/stalk more than brutes. So does AAO. You're projecting and need to quit it.

Were they good looking ankles? Good detail? Or just enlarged version of the 20 year old MM pets? I mean, did they bend? Did they show you doing damage to them? I need more ankle data here!
Ours got stuck on rock geometry. I enjoyed finally seeing the big hunkametals move but the fight itself was rather a letdown.

AFK farming isnt fast, but making it slower isnt a non-issue.
Yes, it is.
And I say that as a farmer. Even being ABLE to afk farm is disgusting on many levels to me but I have always been and always will be an active farmer.

SR rates 13, but is so difficult to drive at that level that you'll fail 12 out of 13 times.
SD rates 12, is moderately difficult to drive at that level, but is unforgiving of errors.
Inv and Granite rate 10, and are very easy to drive, and very forgivable of errors.
/Ena Brute rates 9, and is moderately difficult to drive, but is unforgiving of errors.
I'm bein bad. I'm not supposed to post anything until@Luminaraoutpaces my post count, but I have to ask:
Would you please describe in detail what you mean in regards to driving difficulty? I'm not disagreeing at all, but I think a lot of folks, including myself, would greatly enjoy reading about this in much higher detail.

So out of 252555 members, only 1601 are in game and only 164 are currently reading the forums.
I fail to see how 10% of the playing population is a "small fraction."
I also fail to see how anything the devs have done has been beneficial to the playing population. Perhaps it's entirely out of their hands.

Too strong

You provided an incredibly narrow view of powerset balance.
Another view would be time from 1 to 50 solo on SOs. Another would be time from 1 to 50 solo on basic IOs. Another would be time from 1 to 50 solo on IO sets. Each run pushing difficulty to the no faceplant range.
Adjusting for these performance ranges wouldn't involved rewriting the entire game. It would only involve altering the base AT damage mods.

The good news is thankfully a small fraction of the playerbase uses the forums to begin with. Good call.

That would be nice wouldn't it?
I don't think this is passion though. Passion still allows for civil debate, this is both sides trying to get the other to acquiesce to their BS
It appears you fail to understand the baser form of human interaction. Passion when backed by ignorance is an incredibly powerful thing. One needs only look at American politics to see the truth of that. Passion negates logic. This is a bad thing.

Everyone needs to chill out and smoke a fatty Mr devil man, so there.
I would but I have to stay clean in case of piss tests for a new job. And that's with living in a state with legal pot. Damnit.

Sad as it is to say, no unfortunately. Compassion and understanding and mutual respect seem to be in very short supply here, which I find very unfortunate.
4 hours ago, arcane said:The holier than thou routine is a bit much. You contribute just as much to the conflict as anyone.
Neither of you are wrong and I'm fully aware I've added to the crap as well. Sometimes we have to. Sometimes we should. Some opinions (that usually aren't opinions and are rather factually untrue statements) are so ridiculously stupid that they must be called out and mocked. As they say, evil wins when good humans do nothing.

I would hope that the vitriol could therefore decrease.
You'd think but if anything the vitriol across the entire forum has only seemed to increase over time. And that's WITH me posting less and less.

You can level from 1 to 50 in two hours? Dare I ask how? I think my fastest time was 5 and a half hours or so, that was farming with 1 farmer and 1 alt in AE with 2x booster on.
20 maps (might have become 21 maps, something went wonky once,) from 1 to 50. 6 mins per map. 120 mins. 2 hours. But that's trucking it with only one or two quicky smoke breaks. That was my standard for leveling an alt for ages. I'm sure maps with large numbers of helper NPCs probably goes faster. I'm sure that better farmers than my fire/claws are also faster.
2 hours to 50 seems very normal.

Or DA/Stone Melee (which really hates Endurance. But if you're an experienced Tanker, I encourage you to try this out).
That's what mine is.

Theft of Essence Chance for +End in Dark Regeneration
Miracle +Rec, Numina +Regen/Rec, Panacea +HP/End, PrevMed Chance for +Absorb in Health
4 Perf Shifters in Stamina
2 Perf Shifters (Endmod and Chance for +End,) Regen Tissue +Regen in Physical Perfection
2 50+5 Recred in Conserve Power
And I STILL had to take Alpha Cardiac Core Paragon
Why Mids is showing my KB protection at 7.33 when I have both the Steadfast and Blessing of the Zephyr +KB IOs is unknown to me. Should be 8pts.
Soooo, yea.

Did you mean for this to be in the Dominator sub-section? My earth/earth dom is in my top 5 favorite characters.

I mean there's that too. At any time, NCSoft can decide this little experiment is over.
I don't really think they could stop it at this point. Cat's out of the bag. Even I have the code to crank up an instance. Would be nice if HC would share their code every time they do an update, of course...

We'll notice. If we're around to notice.

These days, when I'm just shooting for fun, it's teaming with either my Earth/Earth Dom, my Time/Fire Defender or my Arch/TA Blaster.

I just wanna be able to pass my unused Threads to my alts. Preferably in a bundle. To me that seems a lot simpler than passing the salvage itself because not every toon will need the same salvage.
Aye. So as a balance point to removing the emps to reward merits conversion, the devs should add a threads to emp conversion.

The Truly Final Forever Scrapper Contest!!!
in Scrapper
Posted · Edited by Bill Z Bubba
BZB will forever be claws and sr, regardless of which AT/body he's currently riding around within. And since we can't do claws/shield, it's the best option for claws/defense. (Nrg Aura is too damn clicky, same with Ninjitsu.) But yea... there's nothing quirky or unique goin on there. Pause for hasten and PB to fire off, click attacks. Nothing really interesting, just attack and don't get hit.
