BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE! START A NEW SHARD USE WHATEVER SETTINGS YOU WANT SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL JOIN YOU COULD SET AS MANY DIFFERENT SHARDS AS YOU LIKE, EACH WITH UNIQUE FLAVORS!! YOU COULD BE THE SAVIOR OF THE GAME AS THE ULTIMATE CONTINGENCY PLANNER

NO, IT DOESN'T.

You could always start a new character . . .

Not me, sorry. It's all working fine now. People can choose their level of population.

You are, of course, free to advocate for whatever changes you want to see in the game. But you get so fixated and tenacious -- saying the same thing over and over hoping that the devs will realize their "obvious mistake" if you just tell them once more. It seems to me you'd be less exhausted if you stopped swimming against the tide and try to see the value and beauty of what is instead of comparing it to what could be. Open beta is announced not just on the forums, but on the launcher. Everyone sees the launcher. Everyone also has access to the forums. They have to make a forum account before they can make a game account. A lot of people just want to play and don't give a damn about testing or the forums. They just want to log in and play without testing and debating . . . or even voting.

That was a lot of Spam!

Ooooooh!

I approve all bug-related power sets! Since you called "The Hive" a "maelstrom of insects", what if you animated DE swarms (5-10 depending on size wanted) circling around one of the Tornado animations. It's like Blizzard, in that it does a lot of damage, but it's a bunch of DOTs over an area instead of one big boom. To make it even more unique, make it a targeted AoE/Cone/persisting location! By that I mean that it needs a target, when fired it starts at you and goes forward from you in a cone towards the target, sucking anything in between into the vortex, and continuing for a few seconds on the target and surrounding area. So it does toxic DOT, +slow, -fly, minor KU and a suction like Singularity, Fold Space, or Axe Cyclone. I think I would also switch names and call this Swarm and call the Build up, Hive-mind!

I wonder who decides what's best for the set . . .

Well, sometimes we do that better than other times:

Well, of course you'd say that . . . here . . . in public . . . *escalates observation protocols*

*begins monitoring Luminara and Lemming . . . just in case*

I nominate America's Angel to name and finance the next bounty!

Did Ston do some more recently? Or were those only for melee?

Just kidding. Thanks again, Uber.

I don't wanna be left out! OCEANIC FLEA

We're at 88% of goal right now. Close, but not there yet!

How else are you supposed to jump into the tide while yelling, "CANNONBALL!"?

Come at me, bro!

Not Maxi-Taur?

The only visible thing, at the moment and as far as I know, is the combat spam that says you made "name of critter" wet. Hmm . . . I wonder if you are hit with that in PvP you get an icon. . . . BRB Edit: Apparently not. At least I am not seeing an icon OR combat spam for wetness on the target character. I see combat spam for wet on the attacker. WAIT!!: There is a short lived graphic of water falling off the target for a second after hitting with a water blast attack other than dehydrate. It's like the water dripping aura you can get in the character creator.

*Goes to Ouroborus and mucks with time* What are you talking about? The servers never went down.

Everything in Water Blast but Tidal Forces and Dehydrate adds a +wet flag regardless of what the Wiki says or doesn't say. In questions of what powers do, City of Data (CoD) is second to none. https://cod.uberguy.net/html/powerset.html?pset=blaster_ranged.water_blast&at=blaster

Wet was briefly linked to Arsenal Control where something having the wet tag triggered additional effects when using Arsenal, including immobilization that many wanted included in the set. It was ultimately removed as a trigger from Arsenal. It's possible that wet flag is still there as a vestigial thing or there may be some future combos with wetness. I have skipped either the T1 (Aqua Bolt) or the T2 (Hydro Blast, and Steam Spray. I used to hate cones but I'm starting to like them more but only when I have several. I don't like having to juggle range for just one attack. I only "save" tidal power for Geyser and Water Jet, otherwise I generally ignore it and just fire whatever is next in the rotation.
