[Hybrid Archetype - Disruptor]

I love it! I think that's a great way for this to function, and I really like that several of us are thinking the same sort of thing!

[Hybrid Archetype - Disruptor]

Well, I was anticipating low damage, similar to the low damage output of Tanks, due to their focus being crowd control.

Since you dont want to intrude into tanker territory, specially with a secondary effect being a buff to regen/recovery, i think scrapper level resistances/defense would be more appropriate. 

Also the Control powers would have to be adjusted in magnitude/duration so not to out-perform the main control ATs: controllers and Dominators.

Yeah, I was definitely thinking a weaker version of those powers, appropriate for it being a secondary. I was imagining it functioning in a Tanker like role, especially with the inherent including Taunt, to take agro as a main function.

Thank you! That was the thinking. I think it would create an interesting new gameplay style.

Disruptor - Armor/Control

As a Disruptor, you thrive on being the center of attention. You can turn the entire tide of a battle yourself, as you stand at the eye of the storm, and that's just how you like it, with all eyes on you. You are sturdy enough to take the hits this focus brings, but often your enemies are too distracted to be able to do anything at all.

 

Primary Powerset - Tanker Armors - Main alteration being that AoE abilities (such as Rise to the Challenge) have a wider area of effect since mobs won't condense like a Melee Tank, but a reduced effectiveness.

 

Secondary Powerset - Controller Primary

 

HP scaled similar to a Brute

 

Inherent Ability - Fixation - Control powers exert a Taunt effect, drawing focus on anyone hit by a secondary power. Additionally, for each enemy under a control effect Disruptors receive a small buff to Regen and Recovery. This allows them to handle all the focus these abilities bring.

Darkness Embodied 

 

A Mastermind version of the Darkness Control pets. 

Base Tier pet uses a modified version of the Haunt imps. They have some basic dark blast / dark armor abilities and get more from each upgrade.

Mid Tier uses modified version of the Darkness Affinity Dark Servant. Focused on Debuffs and Control with a version of the Twilight grasp that is of low power (similar to protector bots)

Top Tier is the Umbra Beast, with some decent damage output and a damage aura with a focus on taking aggro.

 

With the two Upgrades, that leaves 4 other powers. Three of them should be versions of Dark Blast, with a cone (possibly Living Shadows) as the AoE option. The specialty ability could be a lot of things, but I was thinking of a pet targeted click power that creates a powerful short term debuff aura around the pet (similar to Darkest Night, but with the anchor being a pet, as opposed to an enemy).

 

Thoughts?

All of this should have copied automatically. The only thing that doesn't is the screenshots folder as it can potentially be very large.

Is there anyway to force a copy over? It doesn't look like any of this did. Alternatively, I could try reinstalling, but I'm not sure what I did wrong that caused it not to work.

[Homecoming Launcher Public Beta]

I like the new launcher a lot, it looks really good, but does anyone know where to transfer stuff it didn't copy? Since the folders aren't arranged in the same way, I'm not sure how to install VidiotMaps, copy over saved costumes, or copy over saved Character order on the Server. I haven't checked for options yet, but I'm dubious if those copied.

Hey everyone. According to the server update page that was linked, the server is up.

However, when I try to login (Tequila -> starting game) I get "The game client was unable to connect to the login server (...)"

 

So is the login server down, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

 

Its probably still spinning up. They said we'd need to install an update, and I haven't seen one yet, so I'd hop back out and wait for Tequila to download something.

I got to FLY in Atlas....

I am honestly weeping.

Like...UGLY CRY.

 

I love you people.....when is it back up? *junkie scratching*

 

I can relate, its been incredible.

 

I definitely feel like an addict. After so many years I'm so twitchy to play more.

Thank you for the update, and for making this all possible! We appreciate everyone involved in making this incredible resurrection possible!
