  1. One advantage the Flight pool has had is that it can use powers like Combat Jumping and still fly. The Leaping pool cannot use Hover and still effectively jump. Teleport can use both and still teleport. Super Speed cannot. There are many combinations of travel powers that leverage different aspects of the available powers to achieve different goals. Increasing Lives minimum flight speed a little would be preferred by many. Increasing Lives flight cap, and providing a path to or near the cap that does not require 3 power selections or slotting an individual power to ED range sounds good. (I haven't see this entirely yet) Question: Power swaps/removal/replacements by the dev team still come with a free respec? With multiple builds per character are there multiple free respecs? I look forward to build 4.
  2. The same could be said for the Live version of Afterburner. See Bopper's note above. Also, your having zero idea how to use it in combat does not trump or discount the fact that others do have combat uses for it.
  3. stand like an X with both hands in the air and Flares shoot out.. while hovering you are not crazy
  4. Ha! Thanks for the stability tweakers
  5. So the fastest new option is 3 powers and the top option you posted goes 8.93 faster.. "significant" might be employed generously here. Does Evasive Maneuvers now only require 1 pool pick to select? If you don't slot a flight enhancement, is it essentially the same? 3 power picks and 'encouraged' slotting to go marginally faster does not in my mind equate to "ensure flight was fast without 3 powers".
  6. If the large goal was to ensure flight was fast without 3 powers.. why not just boost to Fly? If the team wanted to add something, a popup that made Fly go faster and be done with it. Why monkey with multiple existing powers if this was about speed? In my opinion: Only Affecting Self > might work sometimes Seems like this possibly underwhelming result in speed does not outweigh lost functionality. Increases in flight speed was the leg these changes had to stand on.
  7. Is there something that costs more than 2B you are saving up for?
  8. I really hope base empowerments, incarnates, and IO set bonuses are not being used to justify lackluster 'improvements'.
  9. I believe most everyone would like to fly faster. (am I off the mark there?) Unfortunately, that's not what these changes are about. If they were, simply increasing the speed and cap then walking away would suffice. Instead we're gonna get a fix on top of a fix to fix the fix of the initial flawed change. Take the blinders off.
  10. Too slow for combat mobility.. well no. It is not too slow for that. Meanwhile, it is a tad comical to see the staunch supporters complain now when it hits their builds, play style, or preference.
  11. You may be onto something. There was a point, if I remember correctly, where villains only went to level 40. That may have been the peak of the game for many.
  12. Incarnates and max builds effecting the rest of the game again..
  13. No you can't ignore the combo mechanic.. sorry, that is simply a lame point to try and promote. I get what you're saying but no. Swapping the power positions pretty much forces TF use. If someone is looking from a 'skip to 50' perspective I can see how they might feel it's the same but better.
  14. I can tell you, as someone who played it back on live before and after it's nerf and who played it on Homecoming before and after it's "Buff", it's different now. Not everyone will get the same mileage or enjoyment from the re-envisioned Energy Melee set. If a player dislikes combo mechanics, chances are they will dislike the new energy melee. Tanks.. there is a can of worms. They did get an increase to number of targets for many attacks which = more damage over all. Raising aggro caps slightly, maybe. The Homecoming team has done a good job to allow the game to function well on modern computers. For that and making the game available, they deserve kudos. @Sapharan Lots of other options available which may replace some of those old favorites. Still lots of fun to be had if you missed the old game.
  15. who uses discord anyway? meh.
  16. I may be reading it incorrectly. If so, ignore my comments here. Trading.. just no. If you are proposing trading some current regen rate for absorb that is a different power set. I would cease to be Regeneration. It becomes something akin to force fields for melee. If adding additional absorb.. be grudgingly, I would accept it. ----------------------- Also "flat-rate WALL against damage" This would only be true if Regeneration had one set rate, which it doesn't. The powers don't need to be used all at once. In my experience, they are situational.
  17. Volunteering? also, a pox on @Qwerty MacDoogal for resurrecting this thread. 🙂
  18. and for those who do not use the power trays..?
  19. Hami convertors and we should be all set.
  20. Infected ..who are we kidding it is gonna be Legendary (the runner up from last year)
  21. yep, the crits and AoEs not breaking hide plus single target for finishing.. I'm sure scrappers are good.. just not this kind of good.
  22. One Epic or Ancillary per character and then as many of the power pools as people want. Let folks make what they want in that framework and we should be okay.
  23. Name: Borisov Power: Cosmic True Form: Hidden (Spoiler) Discovered by a Crimean amateur astronomer and telescope maker, 2I/Borisov, originally designated C/2019 Q4 was thought to be the first observed rogue comet.. it was no comet.
