Nice, thanks

Last time I tested it was on Nov 1 on Cryptic.

If you never play with others that can hold aggro to prevent your VS detoggle, it's useless. If you never play with others that can grant status protection to prevent your VS detoggle, it's useless. If you never take powers that grant your character status protection to prevent your VS detoggle, it's useless. If you only fight enemies that can hit you with a status effect that detoggles VS, it's useless. ...you see my point? It's a player's choice. I prefer the toggle, especially since the original had such a long cooldown and a very large up front end cost.

I like the unique icons and hope they stay. My only nitpicks on the most recent patch was that Upthrust and Meteor were just a hair on the slow side and might end up corpse blasting on the regular - otherwise the set feels pretty good.

Carrying over notes I had: Geode's buffs get removed per attack, so if you use an AOE, in my case Tremor (why not test both via scrapper) wipes all stacks. I don't know if this is intentional, if it is per enemy hit or if a stack is removed via interface hitting, as I only tested it on a 50 fully buffed out.

PhysX - couldn't that be done at a hardware level at least with Nvidia cards

I mean chilling embrace and icicles may not have taunt but they do their job

I posted this over a year ago asking about why seeing ice melee and the ice / ice combo was so rare after the buffs to the set.

To be honest, if they had to nerf its damage purely because of the damage type change, I would almost be ok with it, even though that would be a hard argument to make balance-wise due to the myriad of resistances from different baddies.

😉

Uh huh

Slow and recharge debuff resist would also be ideal, no?

I suspect it will be treated like pretty much any other game in existence and in history, where people will be allowed to stream whatever they want in a multiplayer game as long as it abides by the rules and terms of service, like they already do now in CoH. Expecting every streamer to ask every player that might fall into camera view for the stream if it is ok is well.. basically too much to ask. Labeling them as 'scummy' for not doing that as Arcane just did is certainly far more directly offensive than someone catching a player who doesn't want to be streamed on the game camera. I don't remember this outcry regarding recorded Youtube videos of multiplayer CoH the past 15 or so years either.

Not sure that is true within the specific context (as your reply is casting a very wide net.) I don't recall pushback in thousands of other games from a few players who don''t want to be seen on streams until this conversation here.

I guess it is reasonable to ask everyone who doesn't want to be streamed to act as if they were on camera anyway just in case.

Embrace of Fire, which is a different power than Fiery Embrace, and yes it is confusing, and you have a good point. I kind of wish it would be changed to Fiery Embrace but that's a lot of work for the powers devs, since they have to add a possible proc to every single damage power available to dominators to make that happen. 🤔

Is there something in the terms of service that do not allow a person to stream another player?

That doesn't exist for any multiplayer game that is being streamed by anyone. Pretty sure this is a fairly rare take as well. It's probably like people with phone cameras: any time you are out in public places your consent is not needed to be recorded/streamed.

What

It's liquid smooth for me too! ...sometimes. That's why I described it as being really inconsistent. This PC was built in May. Everything else in the game is super silky smooth, it handles pretty much all games like they were nothing, but this sliding temporary tray thing is just behaviorally weird.

Strange right? It's real inconsistent. There are days where it's liquid smooth the entire time. It's not like I am doing anything in the background either or have a bunch of programs gobbling up cycles.

Weird right? I am talking about the popup tray, like say if you turn on Super Jump and Double Jump is in the tray as an example.

Always liked my SR/Ice tanker. Took the confuse interface and the healing destiny along with the melee hybrid just in case. Overkill really, as ice melee has a lot of mitigation as it is.

What setting do you think it could be tied to?

Is Archery worse? I specifically remember Archery being incredibly low damage on defenders.
