It *is* going "la la la I can't hear you", but some people deserve that. Healthy discussion requires healthy active moderation, otherwise anyone can derail the discussion single-handedly. Jranger is just a meme with inertia from the olden days... I thought someone explained it in the thread already but it's the laziest possible brief shorthand for "you're wrong and dumb."

GOAT costume editor and power customization: you can make yourself look really cool.

I don't have a Thermal to test it on now, but they keep changing a power that sends ExecutePower calls to other sub-powers by changing the self-revives "Rise of the Phoenix/Phoenix Rising": similar but different from "Power of the Phoenix". It's extremely possible that this is a bug and you found it. See if you can recreate it and make sure you note the Archetype (I assume Defender), because sometimes these bugs are only on one AT.

Even if you did disable reactions, known contrarian trolls could still respond to all of your comments and posts with ragebait memes and "feels fine to me" regardless. I recommend using the block function for this reason, and that leads to a logically correct deduction. If you block someone (so you can't see them post "Beanbag is core to my build, feels fine to me /jranger"), that should also hide all of their reactions from you. It shouldn't prevent them from commenting or reacting, but it should hide both 100% of their comments and reactions from you. That seems completely reasonable, and helpful. If I choose not to engage with a contrarian anymore because there is no benefit for me seeing their thoughts, ultimately that's my right.

My threads have gotten locked because contrarians showed up to do nothing but reply with every single point with "nu uh, feels fine to me." If you think I haven't been there with you, I have. But moderation on this forum in general is incredibly uneven, so my advice is to just give up hope.

You guys don't have private conversations with GMs? Guess it's just me then...

As a Shin Grambulax Master I feel this thread has run its course and will now be locking it to further replies. There is a startling lack of being excellent to each other, despite GM GooglyMoogly's efforts. However, we will be addressing the very valid and correct concern about Dominator Sonic Assault having incorrect debuff values and durations relative to the same powers in Sonic Attack. Good day.

Real time energy -> matter conversion huh?

I thought your mass remained constant, just density changed. You're a shapeshifter but you follow the rules of Envy from Full Metal Alchemist.

The main set that has Fearsome Stare also has Tar Patch so.... and the second set with Fearsome Stare has an AoE Immob so...

Just to clarify since some people are talking in circles and still don't get it. In-game, some powers are called Fears but the in-game name of the status they inflict is Terrorize. It has always been Terrorize, although Fear is sometimes used interchangeably which is confusing. When you inspect the detailed info of a power like Caltrops or Tornado, you will see Fear instead of Terrorize: that Fear is what will be listed as Afraid on City of Data. Terrorize is an actual Mez, that can be enhanced and that directly disrupts the enemy's ability to attack you: Good. Fear/Afraid is an enemy-only AI effect, that cannot be enhanced and that makes enemies run like cowardly fuckheads: Bad.

It used to be about 3x as rewarding, on this server. People ran it because it was rewarding. Now we have this shit... so...

Yep, Dominator Elec Assault deserves to at least get the buffed Voltaic Sentinel and Shock dmg mechanics. Additionally, Dominator Sonic Assault should just logically match the way every other Sonic power works, not only numerically, but also in the power description with the outdated (and needlessly confusing) "Sonic Vibrations" text. These are mistakes. Dominators are examples of powers being weirdly undertuned or not matching the rest of the game, despite a large push across all of their Assault sets to fix this exact issue by the HC devs in the past (it was the focus of a patch). A good way to sum this up would be "you missed a spot"; I just pointed out one of the missed spots.

This does still need to be fixed. It legitimately is not balanced correctly.

Mods, lock this thread. We can skip to the end, we know how Ultimo threads go. If someone could be made of concentrated Wrongium...
