I think it will play out one of two ways if a deal is reached. NC Soft will either send a cease and desist to the other servers, or they will mandate accepting whatever terms the HC team agrees to in order to stay open without fear of lawsuit. I could see it easily going either way depending on NC Soft's plans for the IP.

That I don't know. I convert in batches of 10-80 and track converters used. I know I've hit at 15 attempts, but it's also not uncommon to get multiple in a row, don't recall hitting more than 4 consecutive times.

So far since I started tracking I have converted 429, using 6576 converters. For an average of 15.329 to reach a specific enhancement. And that seems about right. I buy my converters at just over 82k each, so that adds an average cost of 1.266 million. I have a ton more to sell, so I'll have more data, including buying, posting, and selling prices for specific enhancements in a few weeks to a month.

I'm not sure minimizing the gap between IOs and SOs is a desirable goal though. IOs, especially sets, were created to be significantly more powerful than SOs. Acquiring the necessary IOs has been made significantly easier in Homecoming as well, so the gap only exists for people that either don't want to put in the effort or some people that just don't know/understand the system. For those that don't want to put in the effort, that's fine, that part just may not appeal to them. The ones that lack the knowledge will find it if and when their ready. Though I'm a fan of making the information even easier to acquire(not that I think it's a 'problem' now, but in the context of knowledge, more is better). Plus at this point in a game's life such radical changes should generally be avoided. I'm not sure such a huge shift in balance and slotting would sit well with very many players at all. Plus if all the proposed changes were to be implemented it would only result in the game being made magnitudes easier, and I think that is the wrong direction to go, I just don't see any long term benefits.

I can't think of a good reason to change enhancement diversification either way. More difficulty options though, I'm in on that.

You'll be able to handle the majority of content. An SR Scrapper can, so a Tanker will do it even better. Your high end likely won't top out as high as some other primaries, but you'll be fine with a good build and popping inspirations when needed. And with SR, the ITF is one of the places you can really shine. That awesome DDR is no joke. Also Silver Mantis's Kryptonite is a build with good DDR. This is good advice here.

In addition, the way I assume this would work is enemies with high KB protection would minimize/negate such an effect. So this would have minimal to no impact on AVs and many other enemies. Minions melt so quick that in a teaming situation this would likely not matter as they are one shotted with the initial attack, or perhaps finished off when Explosive Blast(or whatever) knocks them across the room.

I personally like the idea. I'd love to be able to take Mighty Leap instead of Super Jump on a tight build. Or maybe throw in Mystic Flight for shits and giggles on occasion. Hell, if the self righteous people are really that worried about the nonsense they are spouting when they oppose you, I'd also be fine with the extra pool being restricted to just the travel power.

That's an extremely disingenuous way to phrase it. People would have the same choices as the OP. Them not liking the choice is not restricting it. Some people like some choices, some don't. And there is nothing wrong with that. Again, extremely disingenuous. You only care about game balance because you play this game, therefore you only care because you get something out of it. So you are every bit as selfish. If you didn't play this game, you wouldn't be here because you wouldn't care. All that being said, there is nothing wrong with that, people should play games only if they get something out of it. Generally that's the enjoyment of the game itself, but it could be some other motivation like spending time with a loved one that happens to enjoy a game.

Then don't slot for KB and have the normal damage powers have always had. That would be a valid choice, and this game is all about choices. Problem solved.

I've started tracking my converter use when converting in set and how much I'm making for various sets. Once I have a decent sample size, I'll share. Also, how many sold enhancements and/or converters used do y'all think it will take before the data is reliable? Couple thousand enhancements, 100k converters, etc?

I like this suggestion. My Elec/SD ST isn't ok, or sub par, it's fucking terrible. My War Mace Scrapper doesn't do AoE as good, but it's still very good, and the ST is excellent as well. And that's with Willpower as the secondary, Shield or Bio would obviously be even better damage. Haven't played Fire/SD since live, but I remember it being my strongest character back then by a good margin, so that's a great choice as well.

Is City of Heroes the only game you play? If not, what's the most recent/best looking game you know you're going to play?

I think this is a great idea. It will encourage variety as some people will slot for more KB. So I'm all for this.

I just cash them in for converters since I make almost all my influence converting in set.

My general process is to dual box farm myself to 20-35 until I get bored again and remember I dislike farming. Then I'll usually try and influence whip some random person in AE to finish me off. Then go do shit at level 50.

Gonna throw my hat in as someone that likes the idea of prestige coming back in some way for show off purposes. The people that like it can do it, the ones that don't care can ignore it.

I'd totally work out a lot in real life if beating up Council got me new shit.

Yes

EM would be fun too! +6 points for you. That's a lot of points, I know because I'm the score keeper.

So long as I get to keep my personal base if this were to happen, I'm indifferent on the topic. That being said, there would be a massive player backlash. So I don't see this particular suggestion ever being done on Homecoming.

Being a low priority is fine and all, that wasn't my issue. I just don't get why someone would simply be against something that is purely a quality of life feature they could ignore if they didn't want to use it. Personally I consider making the respec process not 100% shitty to be a significantly higher priority. Because respecs in this game fucking suck and always have. But I wouldn't turn down account storage, that'd be a nice little feature. Also I want better respecs. And Stone Melee for Scrappers. And Super Strength. I think in that order.

But why? How is making account storage a bad thing? What do you have against other people having an easier time moving stuff and junk between characters?

New thread rule(can I do that?)!!!! All suggestions now must be accompanied by a music video or song gif that some how relates to the suggestion.
