[Graphics on Upthrust from Seismic]

In a bit of a pedantic attempt to improve the grammar on the forums, 'reign' refers to government -- 'the reign of King Charles'. When referring to something being drawn in or controlled, it's 'reined in', from the reins used to control riding animals. English homonyms may be confusing, but there are ways to regularise them.

There their they're srmalloy, your going to be okay.

I love the Seismic set, but Upthrust animation fills up the whole screen for everyone when you use it.  I have had people leave in the middle of a TF over this.  I know meteor is big but doesn't last long and you can't use it that often.

Anyone else bugged by this?   I would love it if it could be smaller.  I have respeced out of it

[Is changing the power levels power creep?]

I don't understand this. The number of slots available didn't change. If anything, by picking a power that needs slots earlier you'll also be able to give it slots at a lower level than before.

 

I'm not an expert and maybe haven't thought thru this enough but as someone that lvls via Accolade TFs (TFC, Atlas, etc) you play with a lot of lvl 50s that are exemped down.  It is common to have a fully tricked out 50 in your group and dominating compared to the lower levels on the team.  Would availability of these powers earlier help or hurt that balance?

 

basically, is it power creep for lvl 50s?  or just for lower levels?   if it is power creep for lower levels (thinking 1-35) I don't know if that is a huge problem for what I do.  or is it and I am missing it

Alt+Tab to an open file explorer window.

Navigate to the game directory, Homecoming/Screenshots.

Snipping Tool....it is standard in Windows and lets you take pic of only the parts you want to see.  also easily mark up very quickly.  I open enhance window, snip it, circle what I want to change or write a "D" on an endurance reduction modification so when I am in the /ah or the vendor I can easily see what I was thinking I wanted to replace.  if I am lvling and melee I often pick "Air Superiorty" to give me thta extra power and then when I hit 20ish I have enough I can drop it.  snip a pic of my enhancement window, scratch thru the powers I want rid of, write what I want it to be replaced with, etc

 

And I don't have to save the file.  once I am done whiteboarding this I can close without saving this visual note

 

oh works best with multiple monitors 🙂

[What Can Be Done to Recruit Players?]

I always find it interesting when this comes up.  on Excel we typically run over 900 characters on at night and peaks up to 1200 depending on day or events.  It is not that much different than when I started here 2+ years ago.  If you run DFB and Posi enough you will see there are still new people joining.  Maybe enough even to help curb burnout numbers
