I had a feeling about the lower levels. (Maybe Brutes being the exception as the one that gets Total Focus early) This was how it felt on a top tier build.

That's just a silly response. And it turns out.. Many of the changes were fleshed out and others are working great. I don't think all the changes were 6 months and more in the works.

A couple items that were lost to the new release. TP Foe could formerly be used on a teammate's target. No more. Regular Temp Power use in Siren's Call. (Yes there is an option to use the vendor for arena powers IF the zone has been won) At best, this won't be clear to players. Granted it is difficult to consider all situations, results & repercussions when making sweeping changes. This list will grow, it is okay. Hopefully these are things that can get addressed.

@America's Angel and this is a flaw in the somewhat short sighted plans that were pushed to production. You can hang onto your opinion that it is working. Fact remains, it is not working equal to how it worked previously. The new changes punish some players but not all equally.

Nope

This does not work in Siren's call.

TP Foe could formally be used on an ally's target. Since TP Foe has been removed this function is lost. Power Changes Teleport Target (Replaces Recall Friend) Now combines the functionality of Recall Friend and Teleport Foe If you previously had Recall Friend, you'll now have Teleport Target Combat Teleport (Replaces Teleport Foe) A quick-casting, short-ranged (100ft) teleport designed to be used in combat The range of this power can be enhanced, but it cannot be buffed or debuffed by set bonuses or other powers This power can be activated up to 3 times in a row before it triggers a cooldown This power grants a small ToHit buff to your next attack If you previously had Teleport Foe, you'll now have Combat Teleport Teleport This power now grants a 4s untouchable buff If you attack while this buff is active, both the Untouchable buff and the Hover buff will be cancelled If you have been in combat in the last 10 seconds, phase will not be triggered In PvP, using teleport 3 times within a 30 second window will trigger No Phase Team Teleport Endurance cost reduced from 20 to 16 Fold Space (Replaces Long Range Teleport) This power will teleport foes from the nearby area into melee range Line of sight is required 100ft range, 16 targets max, prioritizes closer targets Long Range Teleport has been removed from the Teleportation pool and is now an Accolade power If you previously had Long Range Teleport, you'll now have Fold Space See the Long Range Teleporter section below for more information

Can TP Foe be used on a teammates target though?

You judge Jimmy's writing harshly. (haha hehe) 'Nerf regen' that's just mean.

Could a new player do it with such ease? I think not. Maybe you merely meant unlocked the LRT.. not all of the destinations.

Level as well. There is much that would be helpful on that screen. Definite QoL improvements.

Absolutely.. and now I want pizza.

It is just a lot. I can not imagine how busy the HC team has been trying to get this pushed out. It is a lot to properly test, fix, clean up and polish, much less communicate. (I'm seeing @Jimmy is indicating similar) It will take some time to unpack all the recent changes.

That's interesting, I was not thinking that much into it.

The original post is still there, same as it has been. There were no words in it.. We'll put you down as a no. Thank you for you input.

I'm not sure what would help your chat window. Did you want to share what would help your chat window? I was thinking more something like these used to 'tag' what someone wrote. Not necessarily as a chat itself.

Yes thank you (I wasn't gonna ask for it).

Hi I'd suggest; if you had a former favorite starting there. Endgame content.. well, once a character is all maxed out, mostly all of the content has been done. (new content may be on the way) Late in the game, Defense debuffs & Psi damage becomes more common (more fyi than critical info) Blasters still trump other archetypes for ranged damage. These can be built to be very sturdy. AoE is more inline with the current group play style. Have Fun!

2 for and 8 against (1 with wiggle room), 1 ambiguous,, The recount option is not going well for Emojis..

Hopefully folks are giving Energy Melee a try on more than just Scrappers. Tanks should be interesting with the additional AoE. Stalkers and Brutes are going to do what they do best. We got to hear from many in the beta (repeatedly). I'll be curious to see what some new voices have to say. Total Focus got a nice boost with a reduced animation time. (3.3 seconds to 2.53 seconds) Whirling Hands got a damage boost. (scale 1 to scale 1.1819) Power Crash replaces Stun. (new cone/quai aoe attack) New feature Energy Focus. (trigger/spender with 3 options) While not the biggest fan of the new combo mechanic it does provide access to the new fast Energy Transfer and a target increase to the new cone attack. (I'll only be using it for one thing) Provides a vehicle to sort of change between AoE and single target focus. Personally would have preferred not revamping the original set. (preferring instead a version we never got to see: returning to the version with fast Energy Transfer + Whirling Hand dam boost & faster Total Focus with the old mag 4 stun (beastly)) An Earlier version of the combo did really use of Bone Smasher. (This was fixed, and gave Barrage a little mid levels boost) Energy Transfer had it's recharge cut in half. Reordering of powers & power swaps blew up a couple of my builds. Since the other Energy Melee thread Energy Melee - Does not need is still locked, I'll be making comments here as I level up some new characters and continue with some old favorites. Pom Poms of Doom FTW --------------------------- -- --------------- Issue 27: Second Chances, Page 1 - Out Now! --------------- -- --------------------------- Energy Melee Stun has been replaced by Power Crash, a new cone attack Total Focus now grants the Energy Focus buff, which allows you to cast an empowered version of Energy Transfer, Power Crash or Barrage Energy Transfer: Significantly reduces the cast time Power Crash: Doubles the maximum targets Barrage: Has a 100%% chance to stun and applies a -special and -regeneration debuff to the target Energy Punch and Whirling hands have had their damage increased Total Focus and Bone Smasher have had their cast times reduced Energy Melee has also been proliferated to Scrappers Full excerpt from the patch notes:

no worries. I have a couple handfuls of small items that didn't get addressed in beta or that I gave up trying to post. (mostly back burner items at this point)

This seems to be the case in many of the ATs.

Ya.. You are pointing out a bit of the chicken before the egg-ness of a now late blooming set. At least Total Focus is not the T9.. right? (Brutes get TF at 18.. Stalkers get AS early) Slowing down the recharge on Energy Punch is a bit harsh for the low levels. Bone Smasher should feel great. There were some discussions that touch on similar: Energy Melee for Scrappers & Energy Melee Revamp Focused Feedback Threads

That's a positive. Thanks, I don't remember seeing an answer to that previously.
