  1. I had a 40+ fire/kin on live who I played with friends and soloed.

     

    What I focused on was buffing the Imps solo -- with Speed Boost, Fulcrum Shift and all the other stuff they get mean.

     

    With a team same routine just buff the other plays first and imps second if you can.

     

    Having a heal that does an AOE on a mob is really nifty for repairing Imps.

     

    I used siphon speed and/or IR for my travel power.

     

    With the buffs in Kinetics being AOE now instead of 1 imp/team member at a time this looks more fun.

  2. On Live ROF was my Single Target Damage spell. Slotted more for damage and recharge then anything else. Once isnt always in a team and it is nice to be able to stack Char/ROF and burn mobs that are annoying you --- works great for nailing AVs to the floor too. AVs tend to have low immob resistance.

     

    I had Bonfire with a single slot on live and lowed it even though it could be situational.

     

    Indoor or any map with tight spacing if you caught (or pushed) a group into a small room or corner and Bonfire would perma lock them down as they keep bouncing off the wall and back into Bonfire.

     

    Outdoors put it on your own feet and keep most mobs from being alto to run up and smack you dead. Even make an island of safety for squishies.

     

    It was also the only power I know that got better if the mobs were resistant to it --- anything with KB resistance would instead of flying away from the center they would just fall down over and over.

     

    With a bit of recharge I could see having 3-4+ out at once.

  3. Now that NPCs are willing to talk (to me) again, I cant tell what they are saying because the chat bubble is too small and the text is not going into the NPC dialog chat window.

     

    Can we find a way to increase chat bubble size for 4k users? A control would be awesome.

  4. I don't see why not... Because the format in the pages is consistent across all of the pages. I just have to think of the right schema to use. And it will take a LOT of processing time to get these flat files shoved into whatever schema I decide on.

     

    Dont know your specs, am willing to offer some over night time on mine.

     

    I have an x4 nvme with about 700gb free for fast IO. I am guessing the processing is mostly single core work though. Not this machines best point.

  5. The problem is windows desktop scaling not playing well with the game. There are some posts with a work around... sorry dont have one handy.

     

    Or you can set the monitor the game is playing on to 100% on the Display Setting Control Panel.

  6. I am never against thinking of new ideas and ways of doing things.

     

    I do disagree the end drain is pointless, having played and again am playing several electric characters, Storm/Elec Defender, Elec/Elec Dominator, Elec/Elec Stalker, etc the drain may not substantially and consistently affects mobs - no more so then the defuff from a Peach Bringer, Warshade or most other damage types, it does make a big difference for the attacker. All those chances to get end back add up and characters heavy into electric last much longer in a fight. With a couple choice end mods (for the powers that take them) you can do without Stamina and the costly IO for procing +end.

  7. Every AT and Every specific powerset has it's strengths and shortcomings.

     

    Some controller builds are more damage heavy then others. Fire/Storm or Fire/Kin for example.

     

    Something to keep in mind, even if you were not doing much damage keeping pets out, dropping them on a boss/AV for example will take up hits that would have hurt a PC. Even if the pets are not being individually targeted they are taking up spots on the AOE being put down against the group. Couple that with FF and you are just not seeing how much damage you prevented.

     

    Ran a Synapse yesterday on my Fire/Storm -- my main abilities were Flash Fire, Fire Cages, Freezing Rain, and Snow Storm on groups. I used Char and Ring of Fire on a lot of single targets. My damage output was likely the lowest on the team, lower even then the Defenders.

     

    Was pretty funny when I could tell one of the Blasters couldnt figure out why Bosses he was fighting would just stand there and twitch from time to time.

     

    Was I useful? I think so but I dont think too many in the group noticed.

     

    OP - I have a question for you, after this experience and knowledge gained - what (if anything) can/will you change on your build/play style to adapt and increase your effectiveness? Can you use this to learn and grow? (Or is that too real world :)

  8. It has yet to work for me since playing again.

     

    Zep, you haven’t removed the Local tab from your chat tab(s) have you?

     

    No, I havnt. I see the random comments NPCs voluntarily make as you move about the city, I am talking about the ones where you used to be able to walk up and click on any ol civilian and they would say something.

  9. This is Priscilla Pressman Special concordant to the Paragon News Network bringing you the latest as our very own local hero 'Zep' just closed down another secret base literally beneath our feet here in the Atlas Park neighborhood in sight of city hall. More details at 11.

     

    Reminds me when I was living in Concord, ca and a fairly large brothel was found across the street from the police station.

  10. Used to be you could saunter up to any ol NPC and click on them and they would have something to say -usually based on the first letter of their name, clicking someone who's name starts with 'T' and they would tell you the time etc.

     

    Will this be coming back? There were at least 26 comments and I recall speaking with one of the Dev's at a Meet-N-Greet, she was very nice and friendly and cackling madly about all the Easter Eggs she would slip into NPC dialog throughout the game. 

     

    We even emailed a few times about it.
