just a reminder: designing games in Excel is not a good idea

@Saikochoro Maybe I should use something other than 'easy'. Perhaps 'friendly' is a better fit. (see edit above.. thanks @Arcana 2015 for the reminder) "Nobody can wall of text like Arcana. *Nobody*.

You're totally right. HIT Lead Brick! Your Whirling Hands power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 23.47. You hit Lead Brick with your Whirling Hands for 95.47 points of Smashing damage. You hit Lead Brick with your Whirling Hands for 179.01 points of Energy damage. vs HIT Lead Brick! Your Whirling Hands power had a 95.00% chance to hit, you rolled a 51.14. You hit Lead Brick with your Whirling Hands for 95.47 points of Smashing damage. You hit Lead Brick with your Whirling Hands for 179.01 points of Energy damage. You hit Lead Brick with your Whirling Hands for 298.36 points of Energy damage [ENERGY RELEASE].

level 35 character.. this doesn't seem right for whirlwind whirling hands.

player set difficulty.. covered should we expand this or did someone have additions?

you should post your graphic settings for the neophytes who might enjoy.

The game is easy player friendly to start with a lot to learn for new players (without blocking fun). It ebbs and flows a little while leveling. Later in the game it does get too easy if someone is leveraging accolades, set bonuses, incarnates, p2w, empowerment buffs, temps, etc. Folks simply surpass current content. However if someone is using maybe 2 of the listed it may not be 'too easy'. If they are only using 1 high level content is definitely not 'too easy'.

this [Edit] Even though that's not necessarily @Haijinx actual opinion.

interesting

No need to over complicate it. Bone Smash works. Old ET works. Old TF stuns. The other quick attacks help stack and damage. This is why folks want the former Energy Melee back.. and then possibly make some adjustments. Making Energy Transfer less effective to boost other things.. no thanks.

PFF early on is pretty set defining and kinda awesome. Detention field and Repulsion field are definitely where an opportunity may lay. +absorb does seem appropriately force field-ish. nickle's worth

Off the top of my head: pre 2008 energy melee nerf, I believe there was a competitive event where 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place all went to energy melee characters.. it was already understood that it was an over performer.

survive-ability / utility.. I'd jump to guess. In other news: Full Auto as a bullet shield toggle would be one heck of an animation.

dreams..weird stuff.

wait wait.. are you referring to level 40 blasters? or T4 50s that are fully IO'd out?

It is an interesting idea. (just trying to keep it a light thread rather than too serious, but not a place where good ideas go to die. threading the needle) Maybe as difficulty increased max number of targets for AoE would decrease.. could something like this be a simpler version of the same concept? (just spitballing) ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ _ ____ I liked the idea of large minions and tiny bosses for a faction. Kinda flip-flopped Shivans with some tiny bosses. (side note: i used to have a re-occurring effect in dreams where, regardless of the dream, all the the people grew or expanded filling the space)

dang peeps. always figuring it out..

=( I was on beta last night.. some of the names might be old. I'll double check the links are at least good. Thanks for the heads up. But at least you opened the first spoiler, in return you made me look up 'petard'. well played.

Sooo... porting the classic Energy Melee to scrappers could have faster recharge times.. that's what I just pieced together. (sometimes I just hear what I want)

yes, yes I have.. but then

Here's a link that isn't cheating but lets you get to 50 with unlimited funds:

#3 - yeah It has seemed there could be a buildup + control that could have a better chance to do something against harder targets. Alas, there's no toggle dropping hard targets or draining endurance to zero and having it do anything meaningful. #6 - okay i get that. I do like where a T9 is or could be set defining. Thanks!

dammit, no cheese. joking! we'll take new content. i love you we're sorry. just sooo excited it puts the lotion on it's skin or it gets the hose again. don't you worry about no Stockholm's Compiling Syndrome. you're doing awesome
