I was trying to be nice. Not everyone is reading the forum much less the buried patch notes. No need to be a dog with a bone here. I'm dropping this subject as I made my point.

@Arbegla oh.. maybe I should have said I understand how it works rather than 'what is happening'. Replacement value made sense when toggling one detoggled the other. Now, again, we are failing to acknowledge what is intuitive.

We're running into a user experience that conflicts with the spreadsheet design. We are running a power that has, in this case, has a jumping value. Then we are going to add another power (now two powers running) that has additional jumping value. 1+2=3 not 1+2=2 While I understand what is happening, I think we are failing to acknowledge what is intuitive.

Yeah that all makes sense. Just know that numerical 'realities' don't always translate to everyone's tactics, play style, or fun.

+1 There have been better ideas that could have a wider impact.

The replacement of OAS with OOC is bugged. All the powers with a similar change should be looked at for the same bugs/issues folks are catching. Suggestion: I am in agreement with those who have said a visual effect should occur for these in and out of combat scenarios. If we are running two of these the defense swings could be substantial. Folks get to have their opinion. Some changes are weakly justified. Some changes are improvements. Some changes have negative impacts. Accept it for what it is and that the impact will vary player to player. YMMV

Is it consolidation or a lower overall player count? This is something I think is worth digging into and what should be driving some dev goals.

No announcement, just path notes?

Probably something different since it will be neither.

you use Bing..

Yeah, this could cause endless grief. Is there a good example of a situation that would be why this is setup this way?

@Hew This will be common confusion. Some situations use the highest value, some stack, some drop if attacked or we buff a teammate. It will make sense but there will be a learning curve. "going to take hasten, ss, sj, cj, infiltrate, and stealth" = you'll be able to go fast, jump high, and zoom maps relatively undetected.

There are plenty of dev mentions. Here is one: Procs & PPM Something we’ve recently started looking at is procs. We’re only scratching the surface here, but our goals are similar to that with powersets: Bringing each option towards a happy medium. One big topic that needs looking at specifically is PPM. This system was still in beta when the game shut down, so it never really graduated properly to the live servers, and never received any follow-up balance passes. There are numerous issues right now, such as the interaction it has with different types of recharge bonuses and AoEs, which causes the system to be unintuitive (slotting for recharge can make a power… less good!) in some areas and not well balanced in other areas (many procs are very strong in AoEs and very weak in single targets). Along with improving general game balance there’s a secondary benefit to cleaning up PPM and procs: it will allow us to continue building new enhancement sets with new and unique procs and set bonuses. We’ve got no firm plans to discuss just yet, but it is a key area we will be looking at in the future. All good to use in the meantime.. viability long term would be in question.

Likely the impending proc 'adjustments' which are over due.

Oh that's the day they are gonna attack?! She'd gonna be mad forever.. Drew Barrymore, star of Ever After is still charming, but now she has a big gun. (Beam/Devices)
