    I too would nominate Chili Bear.

     

    Who??

    Are you all just making this name up? Are they like a warm bowl of meat -n- beans smothered in cheese? Or, just shivering cold?

    Maybe I should visit Everlasting once in a while and see what I'm missing out on.

    Empowerment buffs to last 8 hours

    You couldn't have made a worse false equivalency argument.

     

    Don't you have some cat memes to post somewhere?

     

    I thought I picked decent and obvious satirical examples suggesting changes to features which are working as intended for the sake of 'convenience'.

     

    FYI - I'm not sure you are using "false equivalency argument" correctly in your attempt to smear me with derogatory sounding terminology.
     

    Spoiler

    Either you agree my suggestions were ridiculous or you give them credence as reasonable suggestions (you don't think they are credible do you?).

     

    To be a false equivalency argument I would first have to making an argument, and then I would need to argue something is somehow the same as something else, which I did not.

    Your assumption is not my statement.

     

    The OP suggestion (and many arguments which you did not jump on) did compare the crafting of empowerment buffs with the purchasing of pay2win items and stating that the same 8 hours would be nice. (If they both had a scaling cost with level they might be a little closer, but still apples and oranges)

     

    Also, I didn't argue against the OP. I actually said "Qol fine" earlier and suggested it just be reasonable. So keep your pants on, no one wants to see that.

    I'd be okay with getting two at a time, current duration. Qol, fine.

     

    Folks don't have to complete a mission, TF or spend a large amount. If the only troo cost is remembering to go back to the base.. it is working as intended.

     

    We don't even have to 'run' to a base portal to get to a base. Just stop it with the 'so hard and burdensome'. Geez. 😛

    Is there really a massive proc nerf just around the corner?

    "Is there really a massive proc nerf just around the corner?"

     

    @Azari Yes.

     

    ..but not in the way you think; which may or may not be considered a "nerf" for the majority of the character base while the impact on edge cases may or may not be measurable at this time. Please check back periodically for any official updates. Players can always send in-game tells directly to GM_Bot. Repeated inquiries may provide different responses.

     

    In game inquiries should be in the following formats:

    /t GM_Bot, Is there really a massive proc nerf just around the corner?

    /t GM_Bot, seriously, are Procs being nerfed?

    /t GM_Bot, just tell me.

    /t GM_Bot, dude.. seriously? that sucks.

    Player may need to ask several times, several ways before the beans are spilled.

    But you have the Start vendor selling better buffs for something much simpler to get that lasts up to 8 hours and is in a ton of zones?
    The Start buffs are more expensive but majority have influence and not a set list of different salvage needed to craft the empowerment buffs.

    Which Widow & Why? (the skimpy version)

    Wow, more words than I intended..

    If I need to know more then I can follow up here but let's keep it nice and light! Thanks!

     

    Fun to see you widowing.

     

    I love my Stalkers. Brutes, Tanks and Corruptors are so fun and effective. But if I HAD to pick only one AT to play it might just be a Widow rather than Stalker. They are like a mashup of the four mentioned.. which in itself is crazy. Widows have the flexibility to be tough and do respectable damage while also supporting the team and can solo just fine.

     

    Widows can bend to a players preferred style. Scrappy in the face of your foes face or keeping a little distance.

     

    On top of that, there's a choose your path aspect that, with multiple builds on a character, can become multiple characters in one.

     

    Melee vs Ranged has some risk / reward, which I appreciate, where ranged might do a little less damage. Both can have high survivability. Choices, consequences, experimentation. Does someone want to lean ranged or melee or a bit of both. ( I'm a bit of both )

     

     

    Below Kaizen alludes to a simple differences for high level builds which is still applicable with average slotting.

    Which way should someone choose? You'll notice the answer is not there. It can be a preference choice: What is fun for the player?

    Notes about the delta between page 7 Night Widows and Fortunatas.

     

    Night Widow *now* can out DPS Forts in ST Pylon tests. This was not true before page 7, which was sad.

     

    Forts will out damage Night Widows in terms of speed and total damage due to Psychic Wail and the ability to stop runners with controls.

     

    Night Widows are significantly more durable than Forts. Even more so with page 7.  I mean I solo'ed the ITF at 4x8 in melee w/o dying. A Fort would have a massively harder time doing that.

     

    Also helpful in an overall way:

    I can confirm though, if you try to go ranged dps for fort, you should be prepared to be unimpressed. It'll be better after the patch but not by much. Dominate is the only ranged power that meaningfully competes with the claw attacks. Scramble thoughts will after the patch, but that's really it. Ranged attacks do less damage by design

    How many new 50s are too many?

    When you have all of the 50s, then it's too many.

     

    I is approaching has-ing all the 50s..

     

    Which increases the likelihood of sad moments when realizing approximately 38 levels in that, crap.. already have a level 43 Gravity/Energy Dominator on page 7.

    How many new 50s are too many?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I confess to taking advantage of the Mapserver event.

     

    I now stare at more than a full page of newly minted 50s. (Some were dusty 20 somethings others brand new characters)

     

    Is this too much?

     

    Is this the race to 50 and play down with incarnates? What's different from farming?

     

    I love the creativity of the event. As soon as players learned to drone the GM though...

     

    Thank the devs who worked on it!

    Has it always been just 3 weeks? I thought we had the whole month…

     

     

    It's to level 30 and it has been three weeks.

     

    - No Rules / Bring Your Own Rules -

     

    How am I playing: I am going to roll three characters and select one of them to take to level 30. (if I roll all masterminds, the fates hate me, but I'll do it)

    Lucky you, that seems like pretty strong combo.

    Randomized Costume change bind/macro

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    You could try it on one of the Hero Epic Archetype they are able to change forms rapidly mimicking costume changes.

    • Peacebringer
    • Warshade

    using "form-shifting macros". Search for something like "$$powexec_toggleon bright nova" for example macros.

     

    some auras as @Shenanigunner said can be triggered by movement powers and attack powers. (moving/not moving & attacking/not attacking)

    some toggles can also have an impact on appearance like stealth and invisibility.

     

    a little creativity and you might bet close to what you want.
