    Focused Feedback: Various Power Updates

    in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback

    Posted

    I can understand wanting powers and powersets to be better.  And by your admission they just made Storm blast better.

     

    But when is it good enough?  When you can solo at level 50 most content at +0/x8?  At +4/x8? 

     

    Please don't tell me that it "needs" to have x seconds of recharge or y points of endurance or whatever other individual stat.  Because if a player can solo at x8 with that recharge and endurance and whatever that seems to me to be a want and not a need.

    Arsenal Control not appearing for Clones in Posi 1, Dean MacArthur, and Leonard arcs

    in [Open Beta] Bug Reports

    Posi 1 Shadow Simulcrums do NOT have controller Arsenal control powers. Or if they do, they don't use them.
     
    As an Arse/Dark troller, the only power he used was Darkest Night.
     
    Same with Dean MacArthur's Me, Myself, and my Other Selves. Except now he also used Petrifying Gaze, which is not a power in Darkness Affinity, but in Dark Miasma.
     
    And again for Leonard's Good Villains Never Die and the Army of Eight badge. Only used Petrifying Gaze and Darkest Night.

    Posi I Dopplegangers: Was this supposed to have happened this way?

    Whenever new powersets come out, clones are always troublesome.  Which reminds me, I need to run Posi with my Arsenal on test server.  But it should already have rad/psi tankers in its list of powersets.  You should report that as a bug.

     

    And while it can be annoying, clones generally have access to the full powerset, even if you don't.  Something about spaghetti code and AI cheating.

     

    I'm guessing you were running at x6 and that's why you got the multiples.  I usually run Posi at standard level so +0/x1 if solo or by however many people are on the team.  So I never noticed multiples like in your photo.

    Approaches to Requested Beta Testing

    in Open Beta Testing

    Posted

    I can understand players' desire to have the Devs state their design goals with the playerbase at the outset.  I have certainly asked for that on prior occasions. 

     

    But I can also understand the Devs' desire not to reveal their thoughts prior to testing, as many players (yes, sometimes even me), begin debating whether their design goals are worthy, rational, or superior to what the players have come up with.  And they do this without ever even logging in to the test server and trying the new thing out.

     

    So how can we accomplish both goals?  Give players some idea of what the devs are trying to do and at the same time have players actually test before arguing the merits of a thing they have not tried.

    Focused Feedback: Arsenal Control

    My one remaining request for this set is to add some -fly to Sleep or Flash Bang Grenades.  With all of these patches, that cannot be targeted in the air to flying targets, not having a way to get flying enemies on to the ground and into the patches seems to be a glaring and frustrating hole.  I'm thinking about Rularuu Watchers, Flying Cabal, Sky Raiders in TV as just a few problematic groups.

     

    Corrected to just Flash Bang, because Sleep is a location patch too.
