This and there are pool powers that have been made irrelevant - such as Acrobatics - due to IOs.

I would love Godzilla sized monsters to fight!

This is not what the Homecoming folk have said they wanted with regard to players just disappearing. That seems to ruin the immersion for some, so in the discussions on the subject, they have said the idea was an Oro-like portal ability.

People are doing this now with the mission and team teleports. The primary issues with the slash command is that it is being used to escape deaths in PvP and Master of TF runs. Turning it into an Oro-like portal that has a short animation and is interruptible solves those problems.

If you read the various posts they have made on the subject, it has been said a few times the passcode is not getting removed without having another solution in place. That will take time to develop, but the passcode slash command will be going away eventually.

To be fair, in my opinion Cryptic is very good with handing out free stuff in STO from time to time and they have a very generous F2P model. Simply running events in the game will get you a token toward purchasing a top tier ship. STO has come a long way since it first launched and I think credit should be given to Cryptic for releasing it as fast as they did. A lot of people forget Cryptic was not the original developer for the game. They were handed a turd and tasked of launching in a very, very short time frame. They met that deadline. Given those constraints, people were expecting too much in my opinion.

I did.

Despite our best efforts, there is still quite a lot of crime in Paragon City. More than one Detective could handle for sure.

This does not help when stuck in an animation.

If we do that, the game stagnates and withers away on the vine.

I do not see the harm in correcting someone if the information they provided is inaccurate.

Asking to curtail opinions we do not like is an extremely terrible idea. Hard pass to this. Telling others something like this is ignorant and jumping to conclusions. Perhaps the person saying a powerset stinks has tried it out and found it not to be to their liking. That is a completely acceptable, totally valid opinion and they are entitled to that. Someone asking in General chat for opinions is going to get a wide range of viewpoints. That is a very good thing. We do not need rules to ensure everyone shares the same opinion.

This please! 😀

My Le Petomane homage character is anxiously awaiting a Wind Control powerset.

Would love to see the animations from Martial Combat ported over as options for Martial Arts. Were it me, I would boost the damage on Dragon's Tail a bit. Other than that, I rather enjoy the set. I love playing Scrappers and it is a great set as a single target boss killer.

Agreed!

My understanding from prior threads about this is that converting all the lower level NPC to scale from 1 to 50 would be a monumental undertaking. However, I personally think it would be worth the effort in the long run for the reasons @Zeraphia mentions above.

More than that, you literally cannot see your character. Hami raids and iTrials are the worst because of it.

People standing at doors getting PLed was being done long before AE was ever introduced. Certain maps - like the Council portal map - were (and still are) used for farming and PLing. This depends on your definition. Is someone who is level 35 to 40 joining a level 50 team for a +4x8 ITF run leaching?

Same here.

I heartily endorse this as well. I wholeheartedly endorse a minimal/no FX option for all powers, including buffs from others. FX spam is out of control in my opinion.

Kinetic Melee/Ninjitsu. Very easy to hit the softcap and comes with a built in heal.

Yes this is a problem sadly and an annoying one at that. You should be still able to select room sections by zooming in as far as possible right above them. I have had this problem before and zooming in or selecting the section from underneath can work.

I was thinking something along the lines of a proc chance on a couple of the powers. Something along the lines of the discussions of adding an Absorb proc into Resilience over in the Regen set.

Interesting idea. I wonder if something like having incoming enemy fire be reflected back at the attacker? Reflection may make for an interesting mechanic.
