  1. Staff Blast

    A blaster set that uses Staves and Wands, like the Nemesis Staff is used at the moment. 

    - It doesn't suit only magic origin characters, but also others, for example: there are already Vanguard techno-"mages".

    - Choice of staff/wand costume parts.

     

    It could be implemented in several ways.

    I have previously pondered the feasibility of an overhaul to powersets that would involve choosing a visual source for your power effects (hand, pistol, wand, etc) at character creation. That would make this suggestion moot, but considering that it will never happen, I propose the following.

     

    Either;

    • One powerset with lots of different damage types on different powers, or
    • One powerset per damage type. This could take for years and years and thus is much less feasible, or
    • Switchable damage types via a power like the Dual Pistols damage type power, "Swap Ammo". The downside to this, I suspect, is sound effects, which I don't think can change?

    So.  You take stealth on a build.  And it is so good.  You take it again. If only they made 20 more of these I would not even need other powers.

     

    But wait, there is less.  It is a huge end hog, does not help vs Rikti Drones or other 'we see through stealth" and does nothing else.

     

    Oh wait.  you can run and jump faster.  (I fly 99.9% time...)

     

     

    Does this power have an y game value of is it just a LOTG mule and an end bar killer?

     

     

    I found this, heh.

  3. On Wednesday there appeared to be all manner of problems with multiple zone instances and zones on the railway list being locked.

     

    Yesterday, most maps, including Atlas Park, appeared to be nearly empty of players.

     

    Does anybody know what's happening? Is it just Excelsior? Is it just me?

  4. It looks like a dump stat. I never go near it. Here's why;

     

    * What's the point of stealth anyway? I mean, if even a few enemies can see through it, it's situational at best.

    * I am not quick enough to stealth to the end of a mission before somebody else has already done it.

    * Why wouldn't I get a Stealth enhancement on a run power? 

    * Superspeed has a Stealth component.

    * Any of my characters that have a stealth theme, take a powerset that has a stealth power in it, e.g. devices. Surprise surprise!

    That IO only gives 2 Fly protection, which is enough for a lot of -Fly effects (typically -1.6 Fly), but is unfortunately not enough for Web Grenade or Entangling Arrow and their variants which are -10 Fly.

     

    Regarding the endurance cost reduction, do you happen to have Cardiac or Vigor for your Alpha incarnate slot?

    -10 ?! Seems rather overmuch, considering they ain't top-of-the-tree powers.

    So the only advantage I see Sands of Mu has over Boxing is just its damage. (Edit: Oh, and it can hit up to 5 targets.)

    The "only" advantage is that it can do more damage to more targets. When you consider that it's an attack power, I'd say that's it's primary function. 

     

    The only thing it's better at is it's primary function.

    Here's the important question - Are you looking for a simple emote, or are you looking for something that dynamically interacts with your character actually landing?  The former would probably be way easier to implement...

    The latter, for sure! It seems a very big ask considering that we can't yet select a flypose. I would expect that to be a FAR easier thing to do than trying to detect when the player is landing. But let's aim high and shoot for the moon!

    Spring Attack comes pretty close. I take it for the cool look more than utility, because the recharge is too long (shorten Spring Attack's recharge!)

    But having a similar animation already in the game increases the chances something can maybe be done with it.

    That's perfect! Now all we* need to work out is how to stick it on the end of a superleap or fly! 

     

    *Help!
