Thought about it again, it probably does need to be a separate button, in case you want to summon just your boss for some purpose.

I am just amazed people are this mad about this change and still asking for it to be scrapped, when it's this inconsequential. I get it, most ATs are a mix of different roles and the mix is even more varied based on specific powersets... but like this is a minor change and small potatoes compared to fixing new powersets and other aspects that affect the game in the upcoming patch.
From the beginning I've been in the "1 PA reward lul, I will mostly ignore this" crowd and it's not going to ever affect me as much as gutting my Stalker's performance will for example.
it’s because there has never been something in the game that encouraged specific team layouts before. It is a minor thing, but if there’s going to be something like this, it would be nice if it reflected the actual diversity of approaches to playing the game.To be honest though, although there are adjustments to it I would like, I’ll also be happy with it implemented as is. I think it’s a neat idea.

Thinking about it more, it need not actually be at level 1. Maybe it comes along with your level 26 Boss summon?
Hey, maybe if you've been out of combat for at least 120 seconds summoning your Boss automatically summons all your other Henchman?-

As you continue to examine new player experience, it might be worth it to restore some of the old funneling, such as to the Invention Tutorial at the University, the intended first contact for First Ward, (dare I say it) PvP zones/Arena, AE etc.
Maybe do something to give people good reason to run the iTrials beyond BAF...-

One role per AT for simplicity & fairness; There are too many ATs that would count for more and others that would count for less.
I understand and appreciate this idea, but if the goal, as stated, is to clarify team roles for new players, perhaps you should let go of this idea and let some ATs fill more roles than others, as they actually do in the game itself?

Serious question: how feasible (and how controversial) would it be to look at fixing the tuning of low-level goldside to be less hostile to new players?
I like having a harder starting area option. You can always put your difficulty at -1/x1 and it should be doable even for new folks.
Something telling new players about the difficulty settings and how to access them would be good though!-

If Warshades and PB get to be across multiple roles then Masterminds need to cross ranged damage, tank, and support.
WS and PB are Epics, and so they cover 3. MMs are not an Epic, so they only cover 1, in this system. MMs aren't Ranged Damage or Tank anyway. They are Pet Damage.
Which brings me to my point:
To aid Clarity for new players, the Role Diversity Bonus should ideally include ALL SIX of the roles mentioned in character creation. Currently Pet Damage is not one of them. -

Hello! I have a request.
Currently, Peacebringers and Warshades (hello @Laucianna 👀) show ? for all stats during character creation, like so:
While this does have some mild thematic significance, it's rather unhelpful for new players. In the next build we'll be adding numbers here for Kheldians, and also potentially updating some other ATs if we think the numbers aren't quite right (for example, Arachnos Soldiers have a pets rating of 2, which is clearly inaccurate).
These are the proposed numbers for Peacebringers and Warshades:
Please do let me know what you think. We're definitely open for input on the Kheldian numbers, and for any other ATs that could do with having their numbers tweaked.
Keep in mind that the goal here is to better communicate the strengths and weaknesses of each AT to inexperienced players, rather than be a raw reflection of the actual balance of each AT.
I also would like to add something:
I understand that it would take a fair amount of adjustment, but I think it REALLY makes sense that the new Role Diversity Bonus should include ALL SIX of the roles listed here. THAT would be an aid to Clarity for new players. -

Not sure if we need the designation of 'Primal Earth' and 'Praetorian Earth', since that could confuse new players.
Maybe just stick to the most common line people know it for, 'City of Heroes'.
For Praetorian Earth, just name it 'Praetoria' and add to the description that this is part of the Going Rogue expansion.
This please. I appreciate the work that went into those new logos, but I think this is a better idea.

In my opinion it would be preferable if somehow these were made to look a little MORE different. Make "Primal" and "Praetorian" bigger and "Earth" smaller, perhaps?
EDIT: or adjust color and/or shading to emphasize "Primal" and "Praetorian"?-

Because Galaxy City is not really an effective tutorial.
Well it's a really "six of one, half dozen of the other" situation then. GC is better content, but you're right, it's not much of a tutorial.

Also, Outbreak is incredibly tedious. I can see how it does a better job of actually tutorializing the basic gameplay than Galaxy City does, but I don't know if it makes the best first impression...
This too. Sending new players to Outbreak and Breakout instead of Galaxy is NOT what you want to do if you're trying to improve the new player experience.
Short of revamping breakout and Outbreak to make them more fun and fast, I think the best option is to indicate which side each is. -

BTW while you're at it: "teammates" is one word.

Yes, this is a great idea. Please consider increasing the Sentinel Ranged Damage number by 1.

Updated text to nudge players towards Breakout or Outbreak, not Galaxy City.
Why? Galaxy City is the more up to date option...This doesn't make sense.
Instead the text should tell you: Outbreak for Heroes, Breakout for Villains, Galaxy if you haven't decided yet.After reading other replies, I take it back. Indicating that Outbreak and Breakout are best for new players while leaving Galaxy as an option better for returners makes sense.

Yea, I know nothing about the coding, so it could be prohibitive.
But if it happened to be easy somehow!?! 😄-

There is absolutely zero reason to make these mobs harder.
There is absolutely zero reason there should be easy mobs in this level range. "Because it has always been this way," is an awful justification.

Chaotic Fix = Create an ongoing red side event called "sovereignty" red siders can do quest chains to take over blue side hazard zones (not pvp) Red side gains incremental buffs the more zones they own. Hazard zones reset weekly. Blue side can defend the zone with their own quests but all they gain is the power of friendship (lol)
Do it.

Give Masterminds a button at level 1 that summons all their Henchman at once but only works outside combat.
Heck, make it only work when outside of combat for a good while, like 120 seconds or something.-

Final mission of Levantera's first arc in RWZ. The Rikti that are already on the map and the Rikti that spawn to ambush you after you rescue Fusionette and Faultline are fighting each other. They are not confused, they are not different factions, but for some reason they are attacking each other.

I have CoH set to like 2 or 3 in my System Sound Mixer. It's insanely loud compared to other applications.

Bug - (Maybe?)
I potentially don't understand the under the hood code but isn't fate sealed supposed to be a 34% resistance to Mez on self at 50?
An increase in your resistance of 34% reduces duration by that much.

Focused Feedback: Role Diversity Bonus
in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback
Posted · Edited by Wavicle
Maybe the only change that I would actually suggest, only a small one, would be Corruptors go into Support so that no Role has fewer than 4 options covering it?
Yea, that looks good. Move Corruptor to Support and call it a day.
Oh but I see that would mess with the "original villain ATs hit all roles" thing...
