Troo

My understanding is that pulling over the cap targets will still spill aggro onto a team. When taunt is used, which mobs are in the cap should shuffle based on when the re-evaluate happens. (maybe this allows a tank to hold more than the cap.. briefly) This I look forward to solo.

Glad you got good responses. I was torn between: Broots are very effective, fun and playable. -vs- "Are Brutes just obsolete?" Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha good one.

These changes look encouraging for player created content. Excited to see what players can come up with for interesting new enemies. *Gasp* Actually, the changes that look to be impactful to 'AE farming' lean toward being fairly reasonable and seem to respect that there are players who enjoy these activities. Proposed changes could have or maybe should have been much stronger, could have easily been an over correction, or even killed these activities outright. With the number of claims seen on "farming a T4 50 in _ hours" & "make ________ infamy per hour", what did folks think would happen?

these look great to me. what fun. thanks for posting pics.

wait no, no.. that's NOT troo. interlopers offering to show their 'panda bits' on some servers.. it happens.

I applaud anything that rewards some level of tactical awareness. Gently encouraging players to be familiar with their own weaknesses and recognize priority targets seems fair (while not requiring it outside the most difficult content). We're all familiar with sappers. A smidge more of that, but not as effective, should be more engaging. This small change merely takes a small step in that direction. Sure, unless this cleans up some messiness AND can open up some interesting design options as enemy groups increase in level OR as players change difficulties. Maybe a bit better than simply larger and larger bags of HP.

breathe folks, it's likely okay. general feedback = WOW, this is gonna take a bit to digest. Kudos to the team!! That is definitely a 'plethora of long-time feature requests'.

Spoilers (Beta) if folks feel the urge to help Beta could use some testers. (granted this is testing for bugs and such, not so much major tweaks.. unless something is wrong)

I think I agree. The AoE buff, plus the ATO procs & some IO uniques.. so strong. Gauntleted Fist: Recharge/Chance for +Absorb Might of the Tanker: Recharge/Chance for +Res(All) Reactive Defenses: Scaling Damage Resistance Shield Wall: Teleportation Protection, +Res(All)

Tankers too strong or just about right? Just never feel at risk.. The Tanker shown in the tiny gif (it was dancing in front of mobs in RWZ) is just a Fiery Aura and groups of 54s don't tickle enough to use it's heal. (no Incarnates, with S/L def at 21, Melee at 28) Any resist that is over 75% goes to ~90% by 1/2 health.

and back to demons. Demon.costume

@Herotu this is totally how I play some stalkers already. It is fun.

it's alive!.. in beta

In no particular order, the rather mysterious hints, clues, teasers.. and one, outright fabrication. Warning: Possible SpOL13rz Here's what we have gleaned so far: (did I miss any?) most culled from the following 10 page topic.

Who's excited for Issue 27, Page 4 - Beta ? Issue 27, Page 4 Second Chances [ ] [ Soon™©℠® Super Soon!! ] [ ] [ Details: still murky ] [ ] [ ] Clues collected so far, see below [ ] Brought to you by our sponsors

SUPER SOON!! Heck Yeah!! You heard it here. Music to someone's ear! Issue 27, Page 4 Soon™®©℠℗☏ Super Soon!! fried witches.. show tunes.. the dark crystal anime tie-in.. giant death robots.. ferocious beasts.. heavy metal.. barn fires.... sword backpack pieces...... wHat tHe Fr4ck m4n?!! just tell me which one means 'Tuesday' or 'tomorrow' already.. can I buy a vowel?

Could be a path or permission issue.. Tomorrow a.m. should be a scheduled reset that may resolve it but likely the right person will see this and be able to assist. I had a similar issue with the HC Launcher and Beta where servers were gray. (I mostly still use Tequila)

When you see the server list are they all green dots or green & yellow dots? This verifies you are seeing the correct list.

I had assumed the idea was to use 'other' means to fill in sets rather than wait for that one perfect drop over and over. I could be wrong. I believe sitters can get Purples.

Actual values for 6 slotting this one set in one power would include the set bonuses, correct? Total values for six-slotting: Accuracy: 68.9% 73.9% Damage: 96.3% (Pre-ED: 108.65%) Mez: 66.25% 69.25% Recharge: 60.95% 68.45% Endurance: 39.75% 42.75% Would these be unique?

Please don't name anything 'Statesman's Blow'.

Could this be why alternate means of acquiring said recipes exist (AE Tickets, Merits, Black Market, etc.)?

..a number of folks reported being booted from the game yesterday while briefly on Excelsior.
