  1. It's not a bug, but it is a very weird power. As Rudra said, it has two components - the first is a knockdown and a chance to stun, and the second is damage. But they also have different ranges. The knockdown component is a targeted AoE with a 20 foot range and a 15 foot radius, but the damage component is a 55 degree cone with a 20 foot range. If you're executing the power at max range (20 feet) from your target, who is standing in a cluster of enemies, they will likely all be affected by the knockdown portion. The damage portion won't affect anyone farther than the initial target, because they'll be outside the cone portion. Edit to add: And if you use the power on an enemy in melee range with you, flanked by other enemies in melee range with you, it can be easy to miss the enemies to the sides of your target with the damage portion because the cone is very narrow at close ranges. The knockdown portion will still hit all enemies in melee range with you because the targeted AoE will just hit everyone within 15 feet of your target.
  2. I'd like to throw in Bio Armor as a contender. When colored red, it works really well visually for blood manipulation, either with or without the carapace visuals. It works great for a more biological type of vampire than a mystical one, though my Bio Armor vampire has a magical origin and it still fits well. And mechanically it has a few "absorb from your enemies" type powers that fit the theme very well. On a melee archetype it would pair well thematically with Savage, Dark, or any weapon set you could imagine your vampire using. I haven't tried it on a Sentinel yet so I don't know if the theme holds up as well, but Dark and Water would be obvious choices. For all archetypes, it's a slightly less intuitive choice, but Psychic powers are something vampires are known to use and might make a good thematic pairing.
  3. If I could offer an alternative for Group Fly that I don't think I've seen suggested before: Change the Group Fly power to only affect pets by default. In addition, grant it a travel power popup tray, like you see with most of the other travel powers, that includes the current functionality of Group Fly for everybody. The popup Group Fly should be a toggle that costs zero endurance to maintain but can only be active while Group Fly is active. In my mind, this implementation wouldn't meaningfully change anything for people who want Group Fly to work as it does on other players, but would improve the lives of every Mastermind that wants to use it just for their pets (and everyone who teams with them!).
  4. That said, the Kick animation is already there for many of those weapon sets - you can see it when you use Brawl. You can even see how it's the exact same animation as Kick, but it doesn't put the weapon away. It just has to be tied to Kick as well, with whatever flag the power needs to not despawn the weapon. As for the "change the animation" part of the suggestion, only if it's an option. I like Kick the way it is and even use it sometimes.
  5. As of page 7, Telekinesis in Mind Control. And I believe either Spirit Ward or Enflame (or both) from the Sorcery pool may work that way as well.
  6. I don't see this as a request to make one of these powers (such as Detention Field) perma, I see it as a request to make the power cancel-able early. There are toggles in the game that can only be active for a maximum duration and then are shut off and put on a cooldown, and I think powers like Detention Field would be an excellent candidate for the same treatment.
  7. I'm with you there - to be honest, I mostly intend to unbind the inspiration keys because I'm using F1-4 for other functions. But I'd also like the game to not lie to me, and for the system of showing the current bound keys to be consistent like they are now with the powers bar. Ultimately I wouldn't consider my suggestion to be "high priority", but I don't want it to be completely forgotten either.
  8. In the newest page update, the power trays were updated to showing the keybind associated with the slot. I'd like to request the same functionality for the inspiration tray, showing an updated keybind if one is created.
  9. I definitely have this problem too - usually I accidentally set an ally as my map waypoint (W). Luckily setting a map waypoint is not the end of the world, but it is definitely annoying. I think once or twice I may have nearly removed someone from my friends list (R) or global friends list (E). Removing from the global friends list asks for a confirmation, but removing from the character-based friends list doesn't! I think the proposed solutions are good ideas. Another possibility could be that the right click context menu should only come up if you right click on your target, instead of right clicking on any random thing.
  10. The basic issue: /unbind seems to be overridden by the now-functioning "Keybind Profile" system. Tested by trying to unbind "C", which closes the chat window by default. Also tested by trying to unbind W and I can still run forward. The story: In trying to rapidly fix all my Combat Attributes across all my characters after the new update, I created the following commands in a text file: Loading that file and using those commands all worked great, but after using alt+C to remove the new binds, I found that pressing C now reverted back to the original function of closing the chat window, rather than having C do nothing at all. I manually attempted to use /unbind C as well, which did nothing. I then used /bind C "" to remove the functionality of the key, which worked fine. /unbind C returned C to the "close chat window" function. I also tested /unbind W, which did not unbind W. It occurs to me that this might not be a bug, and that /unbind might be intended to reset the bind back to whatever is currently default, but to my knowledge that's not how the command worked prior to the update.
  11. 😭 (But yeah, I would love the ability to turn off transparency effects for my characters. I find the semi-transparent models to look incredibly janky most of the time and would appreciate any way to minimize that effect.)
  12. Sorry Shenanigunner, I think this one might be on your end. I have no issues creating new chat windows, disconnecting them from the main chat window, resizing the new chat windows, creating new tabs, dragging and dropping them into the chat window, or even creating the halfway split chat window like I see in your image. If the issue is being able to create these windows with slash commands, I have to admit I've never tried doing that and wouldn't know how to go about it.
  13. Tested resizing a window while using quicklook, and its working great. Moving the chat window is also working great. No issues anymore.
  14. I can confirm that a newly transferred character gets none of the new control scheme changes. The profile under keybinds shows up as "classic". Characters that were previously on the beta server also have the "classic" profile and no longer have the new functionality. A newly created character does have the "modern" profile by default, and has the same experience I outlined before - they correctly inherited my saved default keybinds, and the only new control scheme functionality they have by default is the quicklook on left click. This makes sense because it uses the new "LeftDragWorld" label, which I have not overwritten with my default keybinds. I think that means it's working as it should be.
