Take offense if you like. It may be wise to keep some perspective and remember our participation is voluntary. Remember this person: In my opinion that point in the game shown above is where more effort should be focused, less so mega marketers, farmers, PLers, min-maxers, etc.. they are doing just fine. (full disclosure: I fit some of those descriptions) { mini rant alert } However, the advice provided even to new folks often leans toward shortcuts and advanced play. This makes sense, folks sharing said advice are excited to help. In this regard we are our own worst enemy. A lot of knowledge in this game is tribal. One player passes it to another who then passes it on to another. It's not one act that is the perpetrator. The reiterative nature distills the knowledge removing a lot of context and substance. Example: new person at a lower level asks about a powerset combo, which leads to the sharing of an uber incarnate Mids build. why would a person want less than what's possible? well shoot, how is the new player to afford such a masterpiece? how do I get incarnates? how do I get those IO sets and Archtypes sets? once accomplished.. yay T4 50 and there really is no 'end game' left. yet when asked by another new player how they got such a great character.. rise and repeat.. and this is how it goes. "Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony"

This is simply proof that you can't be right all the time. Your other comment, yes please.. but after Energy Transfer. We've got various possible routes: Many folks want Energy Transfer nerf to just get reversed. This should not be game breaking. It won't suddenly leap Energy Melee to the top of the current meta. It may make it popular and folks might play it more. Pretty low impact high return request to at least test. It seems other folks want to completely rework the power set. (These people are wrong.) Pick your favorite powerset and imagine a vocal few demanding that it be reworked to remove all AOE and giving it a mechanic that makes targets scatter. Completely reworking a set is not really an option, it'd be more likely to get a totally different powerset. Another group would like to address Whirling Hands or Stun. There may be an opportunity to do that, but it does not need to hold up Energy Transfer. The likely hood Whirling Hands or Stun are looked at may even increase if Energy Transfer is reverted (a bit of a stretch). I love the AoE Stun idea. Another option, do nothing.

Energy Melee for everyone!

Is the time upon us?

why just tanks?

Yes please

I thought this week was Energy Meleeeeeee..

..instead we're discussing Trick Arrow this week.

@Bill Z Bubba 2020 sucks.. improvements and a surprise are on the way for CoX.

while i typically would recommend /Kin (you'll always be contributing), I'd actually suggest fire/dark or ice/dark for a new Corruptor. /Dark brings a tool kit of control, heal & debuff with Tar Patch, Fearsome Stare, Twilight Grasp & Howling Twilight (debuff) If you really wanna stick with Ice/Storm here is a Corruptor blank with some options that can be adjusted as you fill in the primary and secondary

ever fought these? https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Knives_of_Artemis https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Arachnos_Archvillains#Shadow_Spider

dammit.. this had such popcorn potential

seems like an request for: https://forums.homecomingservers.com/clubs/2-unofficial-homecoming-wiki/

I definitely agree with this. Don't think they need a buff. Being able to convert them does seem reasonable enough depending on level of effort.

Beta for the next release should be soon, shouldn't it?

PLeAsE help..

ya..... this may have crossed a line

if it is too easy, it is unvalued

KFC commercials have been everywhere lately.. and I just can't un-see it.

I feel like you've all been trolled [Edit] 'Trolled' shall hence forth be known as, KaPlow'd.. (in my brain at least) The villain Kaplow is off contriving a scheme for victims #24

Yeah, but that is not quite what I would call super easy. There are plenty of people playing the game who don't know they can sell their merits as converters and think those globals are out of reach price-wise. Oh no. Highest effective defense is not 'super easy'.. except.. it is easy with only two lvl 30 per defensive power a new player can get within a Luck inspiration of 45%+. Actually a player can get there for all ranged and melee by lvl 21. the low slotting requirements open up all sorts of possibilities.

An increasing number of odd '1 post' topics showing up lately.

totally Titan Weapons / Shield Defense joking

@Patti are you confused by the phrase "bigger fish to fry" OR do you think the costume creator is awful? EDIT. There are in-game issues affect most players that should be addressed before taking on something difficult. AKA bigger fish to fry. The costume generator is as is is not awful. Some examples: Also, Pat tags people post with confused nearly 20% of the time. So I'm curious what is confusing?
