Troo

Is it bad that I read this as: "MMO preferences change" I don't think we are talking about camping a spawn point for a badge or reward but something akin to an open world concept which is on point with current trends.

Maybe what is needed is some S/L & Fyre mobs in zones at appropriate levels to be +4 or +5. Street sweeping should already provide higher rewards. The mobs available just are too difficult for many farmers.

There is always the https://forums.homecomingservers.com/status/ page which shows real time numbers.

I would say more of a staggered release schedule to keep player interest and maximize the media buzz over time.

Correct, for heroes the level cap was raised with issue 1. For Villains, raising the villain level cap to 50 occurred with Issue 7. (Jun 2006) Regardless the point is, powers were not add to power sets with the additional levels. They did increase available power choices at times with additional power pools. This continues today. Vet levels are post level 50 and after 100s or 1000+ hours of content. With those vet levels come new powers in the form of Incarnates. While the explanation of Incarnates beyond opening the alpha may be lackluster the idea is fairly clever.

It's troo the game at one point was 1-40 and then expanded to 50. That expansion, correct me if I am remembering incorrectly, did not add extra powers to the power sets. I don't mind seeing ideas on how to expand content. Good for @CaptainSalerno throwing an idea out there and taking the heat for it being a terrible terrible one. =) Adding some non incarnate content is definitely in the plan. We also have an amazing tool in the AE to create player authored content. Keep the ideas coming @CaptainSalerno

Opinions vary. Glad there is an outlet to allow folks to share their thoughts. Would folks like to see awesome names for new power sets, maybe. Does it really matter - No. At least not until you ask a marketing person.

Excellent input all. Thanks for documenting ideas and also avoiding some of the back and forth debate that can often deteriorate or derail a thread. It is appreciated.

That's exactly what I was asking for. Ice/Battle Ax was one I remembered off the top of my head. It had no 50s last list I saw and now there are 5. Where did you find a list?

maybe.. it is inspiring.

Those are clearly individual power names not Set names.

Bwahahaha we could nerf AE and PVP at the same time! (this part is only in fun) (folks should be able to do what they like aside from cheating and griefing.., oh and spoilers.. and..)

Excellent! Can we request some new unicorn numbers also? It seemed to spark folks trying new combos. Example: 205 Ice Armor Battle Ax 5

I buy a lot for crafting and never pay that much. Even this past weekend, but, am also never in a hurry. Is someone manipulating the price? I dunno, if someone is manipulating salvage, both hands should be cut off and then burn them at the stake, slowly. Don't try and grief people's free time.

@Bopper Very interesting. Clear easy to adjust levers. Definitely viable. If they decide to go away from the mini-nuke concept this does to stay true to the existing power while adding some oomph. @Super Homer are you thinking targeted AoE for the taunt? I only ask because you mention an option where it would only Fear and -ToHit the main target.. wait I see you're proposing adding damage to a targeted AoE version of Touch of Fear. Changing a single target to a AoE might result in reducing the Fear and -ToHit. Maybe that's a good trade off, would need some more numbers.

Common time syncs outside of leveling and normal game play Costume Creation Create AE Stories and Custom characters. Demo Recording (making mini movies using the game) Base Building Super Group Activities Siren's Call - Helping the NPCs win the zone PVP Arena PVP Gladiator (NPC matches) with Hami raids, Mother Ship raids and seasonal events.

A little cone for Fear and -ToHit but not damage. Absolutely.

@Captain Powerhouse I would just like to say the initial Dark Consumption tweak was inspired and a thing of beauty in my opinion. It kept the existing functionality and provided some additional aoe damage in a unique way. Lowering the recharge and increasing it's viability in both low endurance and high endurance situations. Bonus damage applied to targets closest to the caster opened up an opportunity to do same real damage without clearing entire spawns. Very elegant. Sure criticals were going to be too much and the curve would need adjustment. Hopefully this will be the starting point when/if this gets picked back up.

Wait wait I was totally joking. Those skills could be put to better use!

not Boom Shockalaka ??! err guess there's not real 'boom' though

Gatling Gun or other Heavy Ranged Throwing Knives (similar to your daggers +1) Whips (+1) ..and I kid you not, requested on live: Garbage Assault Throwing random fruits and vegetables for damage, slows or debuffs Throwing rotten fruits and vegetables for damage, slows or debuffs Broken bottles patch (similar to caltrops) Larger garbage like old TVs, printers or copy machines Garbage on fire etc Inspired by Gravity Control> Propel & Origin Powers like Taser Dart Why? Because there should be a less serious power set.

Nerf click bait post titles and their associated over entitled demands oh I see the irony..

@garnetrising could we also get that list alphabetized, with the number of times a name was requested, and cross referenced with the requestor's reputation? (because that matters!) Thanks for putting those in one spot! @Super Atom you do see how you say 'samey' and then go on to make an argument to keep the same formula as controllers (even though this is a defender power set)? It's not that you're wrong, you just keep posting the same thing over and over hoping for a different result. Defender Primaries

Shadow Maul is getting a buff. Possibly live with page 5. (Tanker, Scrapper, Brute, Stalker) will be much larger, faster cone that's actually capable of easily hitting multiple targets - especially on tanks! Potentially: Arc increased from 45 to 120 degrees Recharge increased from 8 to 11 seconds Cast Time reduced from 3.07 to 2.35 seconds Damage lowered from scale 2.156 to 1.6184 DPS reduction is minor, it has only been lowered from scale 0.653 to scale 0.645 Target Cap increased from 10 to 16 for Tankers Target Cap increased from 5 to 10 for Scrappers, Brutes and Stalkers
