some fava beans and a nice Chianti . . .

I was not!!! thanks! One steps closer to Carp Melee then. lol

Agreed. for the same exact reasons.

The pvp side is not balanced for 1 v 1. And I don't think the intent was it to ever be balanced 1 v 1. 8 v 8 is also where the real pvp exists.

CARP MELEE PLEASE 😛

The insight mechanic I found to be so terrible I stopped leveling mine. It was only later via powerleveling in PD that I got one to 50 just to say i did. At 50 even with IOs I found Psi Melee to be so bad shelved it for good. If it never gets buffs I may strip it of IOs one day.

Do you mean you're willing to apply to be Dev and if accepted pull up their shirt sleeves and dig into the code on your time? Cause other than that there's nothing you or any of us can do to properly balance this game with its 20 year old mess of sphagetti code.

Best farm: Halloween ToT team -- any. 🤣

I easily saw that falling flat. No one who regularly pvp’d wants to play without IOs. Full stop. i think that was obvious.

Which is why I never understood the point of the feature.

This would completely break the point of why they want you to be able to go into and out of Dwarf form. To the point where some players would pretty much demand full mez protection for the AT. I don't see either happening. EDIT: there are other ways to disable changling when the time comes. I'm sure the devs are aware.

I'd rather do what macskull mentioned without changing Sents too much. Also less change some players would get annoyed with drastic changes to the multiple Sents they may have.

Agreed. And probably why it's been worked on their internal side quietly and it won't see the light of day to any test or pre-test server anytime soon. EDIT: I've said before that tweaks would be good enough to improve the AT. Others disagree. The one thing everyone can agree on is whatever comes out into beta eventually will probably cause lots of discussion. LOL

Has HC ever declared that a solo player SHOULD be able to solo an EB/AV? EBs I can see maybe. Be AVs? I'm not sure that is the right balance point for ANY AT. EDIT: To be clear I am fine with any powerset or AT that CAN. But I would warn if that is what anyone is expecting out of the Kheld revamp, that they may be setting themselves up for a HUGE disappointment.

The devs called it an exploit . . . which they are leaving in for now until they can revamp Khelds. I don't think there is any question whether it is or isn't at this point. How well the revamp will go, that's certainly debatable though.

Agreed an option like that would be nice.

Probably true. But having to use an exploit to get peak performance means there are serious issues with that AT. To the point that many say it's unplayable (not me, but I've heard this from non COH vets). The only thing we can do is continue to advocate for the AT in Closed and Open beta (when the revamp/update/whatever they call it, hits the test servers). EDIT: I've farmed with Khelds . . . just not at +4/x8. I also play them from time to time and do agree that they are a jack of all trades, master of none. I've never tried human, as the few times I tried I found it utterly annoying to not have Dwarf and Nova, as the AT was meant to. (But get why some folks go this route). They need a few tweaks as far as I'm concerned and nothing too drastic. The devs and others may disagree (others have asked for a full revamp). Changeling I just don't care about. I could never get into it.

LERRRROOOOYYYY JENNNNNNKINNNNNNS *If you don't know what this meme is it means you are mad young*

More likely it's the complexity of their code and sphagetti string that makes up nearly part of this game.

Thanks for all the updates. I will echo if some further donation is needed I can chip in also.

Honestly the entire incarnate interface needs a revamp. It's not difficult to use by any means but there are some cumbersome and unintuitive parts to it. The display of all the bubbles of what you have on or off is easy, but once you start getting into the tabs as @Psyonico explained. . . sheesh.

Disagree on the bolded. I like that it's large every time. It adds to the idea that something epic is happening with the alien enemies are facing. With that said a costume option to TURN OFF the explosion, should be made available in the costume creator. Other that that I have no issues with the other suggestions. The devs have said (in and out of beta) that they are working on Kheldians. However, it will probably be a while before we see the fruits of that labor, as it's a complicated AT to make tweaks for.

Correct. Which was the opposite of Live. The tricks the HC devs (and SCORE?) added to the Market/AH has saved us from the disaster that was the Live economy.

The intention was for them to use Dwarf form. The intention was an epic AT that switches forms regularly.

It should be a brand new power. Not replacing Rage with this.
