NCSoft is going to require the first born of every tenth player. You heard it here first!

I generally like chaos too. Was on my Dark/Earth Dom last night doing a BAF with a relatively inexperienced group. People just kinda stood there when it was time to pull AVs(think we only had one tank and no brutes), so I gotta do it! Not ideal and it used up most of inspirations, but was interesting. Faceplanted when pulling Siege. The more I've done something, the more I want to push to see what me/team can handle. I have no interest in taking my time when doing an ITF or Maria Jenkins arc since I've done them over and over and over. I either want to speed through them or pull as many mobs as possible as quickly as possible to see what the limit is. To help with my preferred style I take Combat Jumping on every single character, no exceptions, ever.

Is someone gonna start this? I think it would be fun, but I reject the responsibility.

Emp merits and Astral merits can be sent to alts, those are the only things. 5 Astral merits convert to 1 emp merit and 50 emp merits convert to 1 transcendent merit. Salvage, threads, and shards are character bound.

Ice/Fire deserves a mention as well. Great single Target and AoE damage. Two holds, knockdown, slows. It's just all around amazing.

Now all I can think about is making a clone of The Tick and using sound bites from the cartoon whenever I activate a power.

Been playing Stone, and I love it. I have Seismic Smash with 91% enhanced damage and four procs, and it just clobbers people. Question, I skipped Fissure altogether while leveling, what are your thoughts on that power compared to Tremor?

A level playing field may not go how people want it to though. I think a good argument could be made that Nightstar doing Nova or super buffed Lord Recluse being able to knockback heroes makes sense in the context of the story and mechanics. So while making all tanks equal in this category would likely lead to an overall buff, I also think it would lead to a few enemies having enough KB to overcome any hero. Much like Ghost Widow's hold.

On the forums people are primarily venting, I rarely see any of these open conflicts when playing the game.

I still believe it will go back down, but this surge is sticking around longer than usual. With the seeded market the buy it now price is effectively capped at 1 million. If it is indeed people trying to mess with the prices, they will eventually stop. There is too much supply to keep it up forever and there isn't enough profit in it for it to be worthwhile, especially considering the time investment something like that would require. Of course I could be wrong and these prices may be closer to the new normal. If enough people that dumped their salvage for cheap have quit or become less active, then this could be a result.

Not sound effects as I only use game sound when hunting for glowies, but I'm not a fan of the psychic punch animations. So I stopped playing my Psionic Melee Scrapper. Which is not something I normally do, but I really dislike those big psychic fists.

I don't really have a view on it one way or the other, I'm happy either way. But is adjusting something like this based on what super buffed Lord Recluse can do the proper metric to use?

I'd be all for something like having the option to remove the aggro cap in missions and the price is removing rewards for defeats.

For this topic I'm going to agree with everything Steampunkette says.

The situation plays a factor. If we were trying to do some Master TF, then I wouldn't have been on board with random KB. Now debt doesn't bother me, so this isn't a complaint, but the story I told directly led to me face planting a few times. Instead of leading off with my AoE hold or fear, I would start with the immobilize to beat the Blaster, and a couple times I paid for it. Got a debt badge out of though! If you ain't dyin, you aint' tryin. edit: That was on the Freakshow farm mission(though we weren't farming it), so spacing allowed such a playstyle. But I'm not sure how much anybody else enjoyed it, as the leader either DC'd or quit and losing the Ice/Fire Blaster slowed things down. And the team constantly split up. It was general chaos. Worked for me and what I was looking for, but nobody else was really talking, so I couldn't come to any conclusions on their opinions. Team broke up after that mission, but I don't know if that was because the leader was no longer there or because it was too chaotic for them.

Fixed.

I was on my Dom a few days ago and one of the teammates was a very aggressive Energy/Energy Blaster that liked leading off with either Energy Torrent or Nova with all the KB intact. So I thought of it like a competition to see who could get to the mobs first, him to KB them all into oblivion, or me to mass immobilize them. It was a ton of fun. Sometimes he won, sometimes I did. When we timed it right, it was beautiful. When the timing was off, I'd hit them with the immobilize right after he landed his attacks so they were all scattered and couldn't move. It was awesome. Also I died a couple times trying to beat the Blaster. Would do again.

Not anymore, they gave that up in 2015. But the Green Bay Packers are a publicly held non-profit.

I'm glad we agree on this, it's a big deal to me lol.

Is it possible to custom create an AV with no regen? Taking regen out of the equation altogether seems like it would simplify things.

Chocolate and peanut butter belong together.

If such a thing is possible, I'd prefer the option of changing as much or as little as you want during a respec. Just want to move one slot, go for it! Want to start from scratch like we do now, go for it! Regardless of how much or how little is changed, it should cost a respec. That would be ideal in my opinion. Or at the very least don't make me have to reorganize my power trays every time.

I would definitely keep it if I were you, but I do feel the power is a bit overvalued in general. Don't get me wrong, the regen is nice, but even at the cap regen alone it won't make a Dom(or even Blaster) at the same level of toughness as Scrappers, let alone Brutes or Tanks. But when combined with other various forms of mitigation it is still quite powerful. I just wouldn't rely on it as the primary way to stay alive. The extra recovery could potentially open up some slotting options so you don't have to focus as much on end reduction. I also second everything Vanden said.

When I said this I was getting some Electric and Energy powers mixed up in my head. But still, it would definitely hit hard.

I think a Market chat channel sounds like fun and I'd absolutely join.
