I've always like the idea that there is a support team somewhere back at a base.

Awesome bases. Is there a list of bases we can tour?

This is a safe space, just let it out.

Always enjoy seeing characters use costume pieces I would never have picked. Great job folks! It is a tribute to the the costume creator (best part of COX in my opinion).

+1 Maybes, debatable. This is great. ------- seriousness below -------- If the community is unable to curb a toxic growing activity, someone will. Those trusted with developing and moderating the game will. No need to question whether volunteers invested in this project will protect what they've built. That word 'toxic' will trigger some folks. Why? Do they feel they are doing something wrong? Globally advertising a paid service.. That's a line in concrete not sand. If some buddies want to work something out that's not my business. It is less likely to expose players to exploit and as policy, if it not endorsed, it's on the player if the get burned. 50M may not be much to me but it is to some and especially new folks. It's a game, have fun. Stop trying to take advantage of folks desperate to level up.

That is fair. I'm just not likely to take whatever is done with that spot regardless. It would have to be pretty epic to change my mind and I don't see room for something epic. Agreed the disorient effect stun is part of what made Energy Melee fun and effective. FYI all attacks for brutes, tanks and stalkers have disorient built in (assassin strike being the exception?).

I do see what you are writing. Honestly, two items do discount your view. One is the quote above, the other is that I don't think scrappers don't get energy melee. The crits you mention could be a reason it's not a scrapper power set. Now folks who did play it, and do remember, the majority of them are clearly saying Just Change It Back. Look at the poll at the top of the thread (as limited as it may be). Many who are asking to change it back are not asking to make it the best set. It is understood that it is not likely to eclipse the current AoE machines but it will be playable, fun and effective in it's own way. Folks will start to play it more simply by changing it back. I for one do not want to see it homogenized with the other power sets. If it gets changed back and Stun gets swapped for something, okay fine. I do not feel that is necessary. There are gonna be powers that are skipped no matter what. Few will fight for the power Stun.

Thanks. Quick question (maybe I missed it) - Why the Release Candidate 1 and Release Candidate 2?

I remember Dark Miasma's heal being faster. Used to be my favorite secondary. Could slow, fear was awesome and the -tohits were very effective. Loved playing a with a rad/dark. I can see fire working well. You'd probably love Ice/Dark.

Isn't there a too much accuracy bug that where if we have too much accuracy we actually miss. I have some stalkers that would swear to this.

Well that sounds like a loophole that'll get addressed. Kudos for selling things cheaply to help folks.

Oh and these:

Logitech G502 Proteus Core Gaming Mouse Review at Tomsguide https://www.tomsguide.com/us/logitech-g502-proteus-core,review-2138.html wired with 11 programmable buttons $40-50 I have tried to find a decent 'silent' mouse. Most are wireless though and not idea. I like the Logitech M330 Silent Plus but would like it better if it was wired. Since some mentioned keypads.. if you can find one. The over sized movement keys are pretty awesome.

Nerf strawman! (and strawwomen.. and strawchildren.. and strawpuppies)

Mine: Awful custom power color choices. It's only a matter of time before my graphics cards screams "I QUIT" or someone finds me on the floor having an epileptic seizure. Your theme is blood.. I get it, it's everywhere. I see you rainbow warrior, how can I not see you? I can't see anything else!

what if I don't need a team..

@Frostbiter Many things that could fall into this may be unpopular with someone. Heaven forbid anyone mentions AFK Farming. =|

See something that needs 'adjustment'. Post it here. Changes are coming to a number of things - Some for the better some for the worse. Opinions vary. AE Farms (alphabetically first) Brutes Energey Melee (Again! What the hell?!) just kidding Laziness Procs Runaway Survive-ability No need to argue or debate. Simply looking for topics to examine and then debate.. elsewhere. No opinion is a bad one here.

Oooo that's nice of you.

sort of but not exactly. I have many toons that wish this was the case.

Gimme 50M and I'll level you up. Then walking away. Level me up and I'll give you 50M. Then walking away. Giving someone your login so they can level you up while you're doing something else. Coming back to a cleaned out account. If it can't be done in a trade window or the auction house it's exploitable and is done at a players own risk. Unwanted player behaviors unfortunately gobble up way too much of a dev/support team's time. Even it happening just once or twice is an issue and gobbles up time.

"okay, so there's a lot of ya"

For folks new to crafting and converting: Travel sets How it works: Step 1) Buy uncommon travel recipes and craft them. (These can be easily had, are pretty inexpensive and require only cheap salvage) Step 2) Use two Enhancement Converters to change the crafted travel enhancement to one in the same travel category. This will change the uncommon to a rare. Step 3) Sell what you made OR use one enhancement converter to change that enhancement to a different category. Why travels sets? Because there are only 2 sets per travel category. This guarantees changing the uncommon to a rare. Remember, that first 10 million is about the same difficulty as the first 100 million. From there it's all up to you.

@Corruption Thanks for answering. I think you'd be surprised how many agree that 'charging for power-leveling' is lame and similarly that broadcasting it on global channels is not okay. Reasons and justifications for those opinions vary. My reason is my own, which I shared. It is not intended to 'convince anyone'. It is merely presented to spark discussion and clarify the basis of my opinion.

I hear ya. Selling IOs on the black market though is not as open to exploit as player to player transactions. Maybe I missed the in-game services..
