  1. we're presuming (at least) two sets of tine slice here.

     

    when code was closed and ncsoft, and when it was 'stolen'/leaked/other and made offshoot as private server, and there in our brand that became HC.

     

    indeed a third, when the offshoot became less hidden, and as with others forks long past, still closed, of which ours pertains to these forums and now.

     

    any which way - its been a long time sitting.

     

    but the answer may well be: "wont fix - implementation complexity prohibative"

    *ahem*  Allow me to repeat myself, since you seem to have missed it; I'll bold it this time for good measure too: 

    "hey all, I have Fold Space and like to use it, OK?"  That's not asking too much.  😃

     

    its not, but a lot wont do it.

     

    its evident when it happens.

     

    its more lazy, or not thinking they (should) not have to announce any possible way your (any given other player) thought might be interrupted from optimal play spray autodrive, by use of their powers.

     

    what other powers should get a courtesy announce?

     

    if another player joins the team, should status be repeated?

     

    its a hassle, if theyd even think to.

     

    were i there and someone announced: sorry, i have thing, and use thing, ok? id twll them to be confident enough not to worry themselves over my awareness of that or no.

     

    but thats just a me thing.

    Don't be specific in your questions: For example instead of asking a question about AR, make that question about power sets.

     

    In fact 7 of the top 8 questions are regarding powers so either make a poll about powers that is relevant to powers and another about other stuff or simply have one category. And also keep them in some kind of order. These have clearly been imagineered in a massive stream of consciousless brain fart. There's no rhyme nor reason to them simply what came to the OPs mind when he happened to try and think of things. So the entire poll is chaotic and doesn't lead to coherence in performance and answers.

     

    Notice that the Poll starts with a 1. Where is the 2?

     

    If I were to bother to compose a poll like this I would probably go along the lines of

     

    Powers (primary)

    Powers (secondary)

    Powers (Pool/APP/PPP)

    Archetypes

    Story

    Costume Creator

    Rewards & Drops

    PVP

    Other

     

    That at least would give a vaguely coherent range of data that represents visually what is on most peoples' minds. (I'd actually argue that even 3 powers questions is too many, but I can see some value in hiving out the non-main powers into their own category.)

     

    im not sure if i was aiming for generics - rather threads on things that have been active recently.

     

    the adds of a number of others were for initial posters who mentioned topics id forgotten, and of course demons, with horns, AND sunglasses (which is actually talking about costume options, vs poly limit, and reaches towards capes, if you follow what people post)

     

    maybe you should make something in line with your expectations!

    An "Other" that already contained an ambiguous opinion/suggestion.

     

    I'm not saying polls such as this are invalid, but this is poorly crafted and constructed. It could have been far more open and thus enlightening for everyone.

     

    would you like to suggest how?

  5. if i could have one wish thing...

     

     

    you remember demon souls? up top of the temple, all the way up...

     

    theres a circular level, a hallway if you will, and in it are several statues.

     

    those statues are leaderboards, and the figure on each plinth is the character model of the player who's the top of that stat.

     

    theres several dozen of these.

     

    in coh land - most badges, highest damage in single hit, most healed, most damage taken... thered be several.

     

    will likely never happen, but itd enshrine a servers players, and give something to do thats both involving of the game and its mechanics, and fun to wonder over, and wander through, like a museum.

    I get what you’re saying.

    My point is that for me, I would rather adjust to my teammates way of playing than let it ruin my fun.

     

    weve had similar discussions in the past.

     

    heres the thing, its like players who (skillfully) use knockback.

     

    theyre not going to announce:

    'status:

    corruptor

    rez capable on 1m42s recharge, ST, currently 30s cd remains.

    caution: energy blast, st abilities cause moderate to massive kb. self defense ST massive kb, nova is kb to kd, cone is kb to kd...'

     

    'status: i am now turning on repel'

     

    in case of fold space its a net gain typically, mob placement happens.

     

    they paid prereqs on the way to fold space, and very much elected build sacrifice to obtain it.

     

    i guess, just adjust and dont spam pet firing powers that are target on press, damage on finish?

     

    the joy of multiplayer, is the other player!

    I do realize that consideration and casual civility are a dying art, but that first unannounced jolt away from your AoE is nothing but exasperating.  I'd also argue it's a bit narcissistic to suddenly make every group of foes all about you, especially without announcing, but yeah, see my first point...

     

    what if its the player's ninja way though?

    Nerf regen.

     

    Seriously, I would love to see a fix/buff for regen.  Add some +absorb, regen debuff resistance, etc.

     

     

    is it as terrible on all AT as legend has it?

     

    ive never made a regen, because its always been looked at as really bad on HC.

     

    like spirit tree in 🪴 plant? or 'triangle (triage) beacon'?

     

    (150% regen when it would need to be 800 to be a static placable worth a tuppeny damn)

    Fold Space... Ive learned to freaking HATE that power. People on teams just use it aimlessly.. dont tell other people they are using it... 

     

    Here I go running in with my PbAoE or Targeted Ground AoE attack and some Jabroni teleports the WHOLE group away.. thanks for wasting my nuke....

     

    tanker prerogative imo.

     

    in fairness, unless its macrod in its unwieldy to party announce on each cast, and the player might be pointed at for spamming, or not having message suppress for miscast / double press on the power.

     

    hasslesome, but the benefits for hearding are real.

     

    but ya, it can cause you to not have an aoe land... but typically who you hit is snapshot at the time of cast execution, meaning this only really affects stuff like meteor.

    How can any of this be anyone else's most pressing issue when the OP defined the parameters? Makes no sense to me.

     

    ummm... the f? 

     

    poll.

     

    other.

     

    what is your most pressing issue?

     

    options are some of the most recently debated thread topics here, and some adds that people posted as other.

     

    you just wanna complain that poll doesnt have more specificity in other? or you disapprove of wielding motorcyles as improvised weaponry?

    I feel like many of these choices are points that have been advocated for by the OP.  I would vote other over validating a lopsided poll.

     

     

    I'm definately not for beanbag -> aim.

     

    everybody wants wind control (I've never heard one complaint)

     

    what is your most pressing issue! (rather than guessing my vote, I'll tell you - tough/weave without punch/kick)

    Other - more power sets and ancillary power pools. Especially proliferating concepts across more categories (eg: Water Control, Gravity Manipulation, Rifle Assault) and hopefully all the existing elemental categories for all the archetypes' APPs (Fire, Ice, Elec, Earth, Dark mastery).

     

    Also more costume parts, especially if they add things we don't have yet like the coveted long skirts.

     

     

    I think they meant Super Speed.

     

    ohhhhh... that makes more sense i guess!  i couldnt find any videos where a person was using a motorcycle as an improvised melee weapon, but its very super strength

    if youve not seen elsewhere, in my amazing forum posts:

     

    these two are essential (to me) for AT where theres a mix of pbaoe and ranged. 

     

    the third is useful as a ghetto travel power.

     

    1/ combat to to target:

    /bind ` powexec_location target combat teleport

     

    2/ teleport backwards 50 feet:

    /bind shift+` powexec_location 180:50 combat teleport

     

    it lets you hop in and away very quickly.  2/ is smart enough to hop you up onto a ledge, or clip tge distance if you cant get a full 50 feet.  i use 50 because center if mob to near circumferance of cone with some extra for the back of mobs on a 60-80ft cone.  adjust to your needs.

     

    3/ ghetto travel power:

    /bind alt+` powexec_location 0:100 combat teleport

    ^ hop forward 100ft.  results in very rapid movement, for 3 hops at least.

    No, it just sounds as if the OP is asking "Make me a powerset that lets me do everything exactly how I want it, because I can't enjoy it if I have to recolor powers and use my imagination", like a kid sitting on Santa's lap in a mall and asking for an endless litany of the toys they want. Or asking for a unicorn.

     

    dont be awful. @The Mighty Paladin talks about trying recolours in their 2nd post...

     

     

    so, wizards, and control (though theyre enjoying corruptor):

     

    1. symphony has a good mix and an echo pet.

    1,a. ice has very distinct visuals, i.e. youll not be confused its ice, but does not recolor well.

    2. sorcery pool does runic cast like animations.

    3. you should be able to mix in another element on pretty much any AT with an epic power pool (pvl 35 plus, you need to unlick some of these via an epic patron pool mission chain)

     

    sure youll manage.

    I'm going to start using "VV" for quarters, since V is five, and 5 x 5 is 25.

     

    Hundreds could be XX ! I.e., a mugging outside Wentworths in KR could start out with "Hand over all your double-X's!"

     

    C is 100, like with centurion, an officer in charge of 100 soldiers, or century, 100 years. of 100 cents in a USD.

     

    count to 3, then one down from 5, then 5.

     

    I

    II

    III

    IV

    V

    VI

    ...

     

    XL (10 from 50 = 40)

    L (50)

    XLVII (10 from 50 and 5+2, 47)

    XCI (91 - 10 from 100 and 1)

    CDXCV (495 - 100 from 500, and (10 from 100) and 5)

  16. shield charge teleports you to a foe you use it on, and does an aoe around where you end up.

     

    spring attack in leaping does a teleport attack similarly.

     

    savage assault / melee have a teleport attack - that one does more damage the further you are away when you use it.

     

    electric melee has a telwport aoe attack, similar to shield charge.

     

    elec melee / shield are a popular combo, primarily because of these two teleportation attack powers.

  17. potentially consider symphony, its a mind mk2 in several ways and a vampire bat shrieks etc.

     

    Telekinesis pulses mag 6 under dom, its a base for mag stacking that is particularly effective on harder targets, it only picks up 5 mobs, but is good.

     

    mass hypnosis is extremely quick. it is inferior to elec controls patch, or symphonys cone (because that does a -dmg component, and reverberant can double up your cone)

     

    i used to enjoy mind a lot, still do, but symphony has eclipsed it for me.

     

    if you want heart of darkness, combat teleport can get you in and out of groups for pbaoe quickly.

     

    /bind ` powexec_location target combat teleport

     

    /bind shift+` powexec_location 180:50 combat teleport (warp back 50ft)

     

    midnight grasp and smite are quick 2 hit combo at melee. 

     

    heart of darkness doesnt do enough damage.

     

    nightfall is thin cone, but long.  it works particularly well with eanging on terrorize, or nearly all of symphony primary.

     

    ^ build for eldrich figs (symphony / dark assault dom) 1st deaft quality, ive refined a few things as i level. 

     

    for a vampire, vs mind, id strongly consider symphony.

    mhm!

     

    you can also tp in a straight line if you need a blink like escape

     

    /bind ctrl+` powexec_location me:100 combat teleport

     

    i dunno if it works with like -100 (100ft is range of combat tp at base), i will test that this evening.

     

    but its a very good escape.

     

    backwards is without the me.  /bind shift+` powexec_location 180:50 combat teleport   <-- that'd move you directly back (180 degrees from front facing, 50ft

     

    this helps tremendously with needing to flit in and out of melee for blaster, dominator, controller with pbaoe and cones, or anyone really.

     

    you could go up to 100 ft, but 50 feet back if your in a mob is probably going to position you optimally for some catch of the 10-20 feet behind on a 60-80 ft cone.

     

    adjust to your liking.
