epeening in public can result in nerfs.. just saying.

Hopefully you meant that as an April fools prank..

Positron Secret Identity: Doctor Raymond Keyes Origin: Technolgy Archetype: Defender Primary Powers: Radiation Emission Secondary Powers: Radiation Blast Other Powers: Flight Signature Power: Overcharge also, its a game.

I'm also okay with them having different values. I would not propose a guaranteed drop of choice, just a better chance at getting something useful. This suggestion wouldn't change their value but merely adjust the drop chance based on the data points provided by that value. It's just my opinion but it seems like a reasonable suggestion to consider.

Good suggestion.

Understanding that "the spaghetti code" does not allow making Hamidon Origin Enhancements convertible, I would suggest modifying the drop tables to reflect current needs/value and revisiting it from time to time. There a pretty wide range in value / usefulness for the same reward roll. Convertors leveled this out for IOs. I am not suggesting taking this to the extreme just small adjustments to give folks a better chance to get what they are hoping for at the reward roll. The odds of getting say 3 Nucleolus's in ten runs is incredibly low. The odds of getting 9 (which isn't an uncommon goal for me).. I'll leave that to the maths folks. If I am using HOs on a character I am using level 53s. Since I can afford them but refuse to buy a 53 for 4-5x the cost of a 50, that means I am at times consuming three of the more desirable HOs which doesn't quite seem fair for others just trying to get one. Thoughts?

Why are these so expensive on the black market?

Faster than a spines fire.. solo.. might be able to. After all corruptors are the best all rounders. Gonna need something to take aggro though with lots of targets there is going to be spill over. Also, a setup might only be good for one run then there would be long cool downs before attempting again. The reason /fire brutes are popular is because they can cap fire defense and resistance while doing good damage. They can rinse and repeat very quickly. If you are looking to team with others the a Fire/Kin might be a great choice.

This was an April first topic. I hope you enjoyed.

Do not click that harmless link.. ever. While knowledge is power, curiosity killed the cat, and fun.

Thanks for checking back. More details: Link

We don't have to like it but that's the story. MCU Steve Rogers handed Sam Wilson the Captain America shield in Avengers: Endgame... Wilson rejected the shield, believing he was unfit for the job of Captain America. The U.S. government appointed its own replacement in John Walker, who went on to brutally kill one of his foes. That led Wilson to reclaim the Captain America mantle. Steve Rogers retired from heroics and left his mantle to Sam Wilson. He picked Sam. Meanwhile, January 2015 (Avengers: Endgame released in 2019) All-New Captain America #1 (legacy number: Captain America #664) Avengers: Endgame Old Steve Rogers : Try it on. Sam Wilson picks up the shield. Old Steve Rogers : How does it feel? Sam Wilson : Like it's someone else's. Old Steve Rogers : It isn't.

27-32-33 ( Defender - Kinetics - Dual Pistols ) it's the same AT and power sets backwards and forward, seems like fate. other rolls: 95 ( Widow ) been there, and they are amazing 43-31-29 ( Mastermind - Mercenaries - Force Field ) welp, looks like I am rolling a Defender

Fixed this for you Ciph!

"a character can benefit from up to five FOUR global benefits of Luck of the Gambler: Defense/Increased Recharge Speed, which gives a global +7.5% bonus to Recharge Rate" "While a character can slot the same (full or partial) set multiple times in different powers, they cannot benefit from more than five FOUR copies of each named set bonus of the exact same attribute and amount. This is a stronger restriction than simply being limiting to five FOUR copies of each set. It means that if two different sets give the same size bonus to the same thing, the character can't get more than 5x 4x that bonus even if they use a mix of sets." https://archive.paragonwiki.com/wiki/Enhancement_Set_Bonuses#The_Law_of_Fives

Not a bad suggestion.. other than the same same lose all the uniqueness's. Is it akin to saying an Elec/Rad Stalker has too many AoEs? Not really, though it takes variety to be able to plot stalker powersets on a scale of 'few' to 'many' AoEs. Other stalker sets with limited AoE examples: Ninja Blade has no AoE and one melee cone: Flashing Steel (7 foot 130°, 5 target cap) Broad Sword has no AoE and one melee cone: Slice (7 foot 130°, 5 target cap) Claws has no AoE, no melee cone, but a ranged cone at level 26 (30 foot 90°, 10 target cap) With pool powers, epics, and incarnates NO character really HAS to go without AoEs.

Gonna need to improve your search-fu. Be right back Rad Fire Brute (Fire) another Rad Fire Brute (Fire) Rad Rad Tanker (S/L) Lots of old builds here If there's interest in an overview of low budget farming or Spines/Fire

Tuesday!

@Rasset that's a nice twist. May have to do a One-Roll event. My favorite part of this event is seeing what folks get and if they are excited or begrudgingly trying something that they would not have picked!

- Countdown Begins!! - Slot Machine's Random Challenge officially starts next week!

Son of a %=@#! I do like the idea of player created content: Missions, arcs, and even enemy groups.. It seems like a great way to leverage the efforts of many. A force multiplier for content creation. Given the little glimpse into the efforts to pull together newer additional Homecoming content.. it might not be a small or even medium effort. Though chipping away at improvements could pay dividends. ______ _ _______ New power sets: I would likely campaign to prioritize two separate paths of new power set creation. One would be more economical repackaging of existing power animations and established set makeup & capabilities. (make a toxic set with essentially the same stats, range, aoe, immobs, etc that say fire has with a twist like an initial burst and damage over time) The other would be new sets that are essentially revamped old sets. (you want a new version of Regeneration or Dark Armour, DO IT as another new power set. What is the fear of having two similar power sets? Folks can try em both) This would in no way preclude new creations with unique functions or new mechanics. ______ _ _______ Power Set Respecification: Work on allowing folks to repec a primary or secondary power set of a character. Cost and level of effort could scale with character level. Cost could include dropping a number of levels. Availability could be limited to one per character or other responsible limitation.

definitely. Also, "feedback" has been a terrible term to use regarding those efforts. "testing" or "bugs" might better serve the purpose. Titling something as requesting "feedback", receiving feedback, and then allowing other players to badger and berate folks providing feedback.. what could go wrong? I like @PeregrineFalcon and they have thick enough skin to take a light ribbing for example sake.

Moderation I imagine is tricky stuff. There is plenty of irony in my reply above. It is in response to another reply and potentially heading off the original topic while offering no real substance to the topic.. these might be grounds for moderation. tricky stuff In general, I am often taken aback when we see folks demand posters participate in a certain way while often being the same person who won't hesitate to drop a "don't tell me how to play!". Would a friendly suggestion on how to participate be better? tricky stuff

I've already suggested, multiple times, that the way to deal with this in the feedback threads is to allow each person one post in that thread. ONE. Any post past the first one gets deleted. Even the first one will get deleted if there isn't something that says they did some actual testing. If people want to address other issues that get brought up then they can edit their post. "Forum Moderation - give me suggestions and feedback" <-- 👀 Feels like @PeregrineFalcon is 9 or 10 replies into this thread... I am vacillating between the following cheeky comments "you first!", "practice what you preach brah", "be the change you wish to see" and this gif: ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤨
