Yeah it'd pretty much have to or the players of the other ATs other than Defenders, with buffs, would scream bloody murder on the forums. 😝

The new EM isn’t OP compared to other sets that folks have pointed out. I actually find its changes refreshing despite the gimmicks and added aoe (I don’t think it needed either but hey what’s done is done).

Agreed. With that said I strongly disagree. We don't need non-unique names. To me it was one of the worst parts of Champions Online.

Meh, this sounds like opening the door to trouble, when future designers have to think of pre-whatever issue powers versus post whatever issue powers. I don't think we need to make the game more complex for the ones doing the actual design/coding, than it is.

I don't find slows to be fun in PVE or PVP in most games I play.

Pretty much this. This suggestion isn't worth the dev time when you could just do it yourself.

They'll see the suggestion eventually just like every other suggestion. Whether they implement or comment on it time will tell.

Ehhhhhh, arguable. I don't think it needed more AOE or special mechanics. But the change has been made. It's fine for certain sets to be single target (or AOE) specialists.

I'm also fine with the travel changes.

Yeah not really. It's possible to play a completely ranged blaster if you choose to. That's always been true. For all of my blaster on live and HC they DO NOT close to melee. Ever. And they do just fine. It's really NOT required.

Oh? OH? OH? Guess I have a new alt for live to make. 😄

It's also insanely boring from a gameplay perspective. It's one of the things I distinctly don't like about those other mmos. After playing FFXIV for two months straight I appreciate the freedom more sets have here. 100x much appreciated actually. I guess it depends on what one is looking for in their combat-related gameplay. /shrug. EDIT: To be clear it's one of the reasons I play and played sets like Dual Blades an epic ton less than other sets. Staff fighting interested me cause it was a staff. I pretty much stopped playing it after rushing it to 50 and don't see myself going back. I found it less smooth and more restrictive than other sets I had played.

Holy crap! LOL

I've gotten multiple emails about Black Friday deals .. . before Halloween. Yeah retailers need the holidays to start as early as possible this year. (I don't blame them LOL).

Pass. The time of gated content is long gone. I would not mind if they introduced a few story arcs with gated costume pieces but I simply wouldn't bother to play them. I don't in any way think it should be a priority for HC though.

No, but it'd need to come AFTER the things we've been asking for since COH returned.

THIS. This right here.

It's not even in the top 20. MMOs need content updates . . . constantly.

No it's really not. The utter and complete lack of content updates this year is. And that's no fault of the team. It's a small team. We're not going to see live updates as if it's a live team. If those folks who are pling weren't or couldn't they simply would be playing something else, not city of heroes.

Correct, and if you want AVs turn it up. No change needed besides putting in AV versions for those that don't have them. They should remain as EBs on base difficulty and below. This is meant as the SOLO path.

It should be the opposite way. If you want AVs turn UP the difficulty. It was meant as a solo path. Which is why they start as EBs.

So finished up Shadowbringers last quest tonight. (The final trial against I know there is a post game, but I just want to say this was one of the most rewarding final storyline battles I've played in a while, including WoW and City of Heroes. Overall it was a VERY VERY good expansion.

It . . . really isn't. I've not seen anything from HC that says they wanted to make the game any more challenging than it was, just that they were doing tweaks towards better balance. Not the mass overhaul that some expected and discussed in that long thread that had simply unrealistic expectations.

Completely disagree after reading the patch notes. With the amount of extensive work they've done there, I'm not at all shocked we didn't see large sweeping changes. If that's all the amount of work they have been working on all this time, I think the expectations of this thread were phenomenally unrealistic.

While I agree with the previous post, I'd also say I'd prefer as little time as possible spent with tinkering with overall game balance. I'm fine with it being just Page 6 or one or two more updates, but with the updates becoming maybe 1 -3 a year (unless something drastically changes next year) yeah I'd eventually like some new content also. If they want to buff/nerf/rework one or two sets, sure. Going for a full on re-balance of a game this old to me would not be a good use of time. Thankfully they seem to be on a more targetted path than most players in this thread would want.
