Troo

who do you think funded AE?

you know, you die a little on the inside everytime you run that map..

Balance.. the knife's edge. (and why diversity can be hard) Design limitations. The addiction to combo mechanics. Given the above, flavor can easily be found reskinning and mix-n-matching various powers into a wide array of sets. My preference: Plain Jane, hard hitting with one non-combo trick up the sleeve. (Unique)

Just acknowledging the 'meta' and the efforts going into supporting it. Is it the right path? I dunno.

No risk, all reward.. it's what players want. Why unlock anything by playing the game anymore? Incarnate content.. ha, just farm your way there. Here have some new costume pieces, some new difficulty settings, new power sets, new content, new IO sets.. All we have to do is show up! Thanks Homecoming. not all players play the same or want the same things

License to Chill. and Release Candidate One is on Beta.. I can almost smell the dev sweat. A well earned break is near. Summary of changes?

Note: The following linked topic may contain some spoilers.

exactly once a character is of high enough level, and built out (and maybe experienced enough to be comfortable) elude can be optional. at level 40 rocking SOs and some IOs.. maybe not so much.

Corruptor

I should also mention that I've found that experience can lessen the occurrence of oh shit moments. Don't need that anymore.. respec. "I WANT all powers to be valuable and unskippable" ignores the journey and that we might take something early on and not need it later. Choices. Consequences.

Oh shit buttons should have oh shit consequences. Just my opinion but likely shared by some.

What's the mage.. dangit you made me say 'mage'

no joke! lol yep, that's what i figured.

server? also, you may want to familiarize with: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/code-of-conduct/

Hard to believe it has been a year.

the Ebiltm council watching it happen..

Ramifications.. more alts = more demand keepin it simple.

You don't have a stash? I'll happily take payment on Tuesday to provide you with some WOs today.

@AboveTheChemist awesome.

Blaster, yes. Assault Rifle running with World of Confusion and Munitions: Freeze Ray, Sleep Grenade, & LRM ROCKET LAUNCHER.. totally Joker potential. You could make it work.

Voodu, dark/dark dom Voodu.costume

off top of head guess: Dark/Energy Dominator likely a similar controller or such. Bonus: it could be thematic putting dark energy into objects to make them more powerful.

just fyi. Some small things seem off.. Guards at the zone doors being a bit harder to click. Elevator or doors a bit harder to click. Like the angle isn't right or need to move a little. Missing risers on the stairs in KW.
