Be a great suggestion to put in the Suggestions forum so it can get argued over then lost entirely. Personally, I'd love to see it.

If you wanted new powers what would it be?
Oklahoman replied to darcstarmerc's topic in General Discussion
If I could have any superpower, I would probably choose China. -
Focused Feedback: Rikti War Zone Revamp
Oklahoman replied to The Curator's topic in [Open Beta] Focused Feedback
Wandered around the expanded base at lunch and I liked it. Made me wonder if maybe we could have a portal from the base to Point du Hoc? -
LFG works perfectly and Empathy has the best rez in the game

It was suggested I bring my comment from the main thread over here. I don't think we should add another currency (Unstable Aether). In fact, I think we need to work towards reducing currencies. This is going to be another currency that sits in my inventory that I need to manage. But that's just my 2 cents. I'll drop it now.

I've been told I should google a recipe for blue waffles, too.

I'm a recovering programmer who still relapses every now and again. I recognize some of what you say. For instance, I know what an ATM is - that's where I go to when I need actual cash out of my account.

I posted in the Suggestions forum once that maybe we could have an NPC in Atlas that you could ask to evaluate your build (on a pretty basic level) who could point out "Hey you 6 slotted this power with damage enhancements, and here's why you may want to do that differently" or "Looks like you have 6 sets giving you +7.5% recharge" etc. Just moving some of that knowledge from the wiki into the game itself would be helpful and more player-friendly.

I don't see a Focused Feedback specific to Unstable Aether. I've voiced this before and generally I think people don't agree with me, but I'll say it again. I think we need FEWER currencies, not more. I think we need to be working towards simplifying the mechanics of the game, not make them more complicated. For me, multiple currencies makes sense with a paid, retail game where you are trying to extract revenue from a customer. We're in a different spot now. For instance, I'm all for getting rid of Incarnate Shards and components and going strictly with a threads system to get incarnate powers - 60 for T1, 80 for T2, etc. Make it simple. I don't think we make the game more fun by having shards, threads, astrals, emps, and a lot of different components, all to achieve the same result. The more we make this game something that requires a new player to consult a wiki to understand how everything works, the less new people are going to want to stick with it. I love all the new material, and I really appreciate all the dev work on that, but I really would like to see us embedding warnings (or whatever) for Enhancement Diversification, the Law of Fives, etc. into the game itself. Really, that's my only gripe about this particular issue/page. Looks good otherwise.
-
My problem with Enhancement Diversification has always been that nothing in the game warns you about slotting that 4th (and subsequent) damage enhancement. Sure, if you are looking at the numbers as you go you'll notice something is off, but I don't think most players really do that. Same thing with The Law Of Fives.

Binds: what binds do you have in your toolbox?
Oklahoman replied to wjrasmussen's topic in General Discussion
I always bind "t" to a targeting menu, so I can quickly hit (for example) T then M to target Marauder. I know some people prefer to use T for teleport, though. I change F10 to still be a battle cry, but usually with a different emote. You can usually fit more text into the battle cry that way, too. -
I almost always take flight. It just makes getting around easier.

Avoid @Snarky

Honestly had given up on this being a possibility. Great work and many thanks to all involved in making it happen.

Unable to login after today's patch (4 January)
Oklahoman replied to Myopic_Aardvark's topic in Bug Reports
Go outside? I joke, I'm getting the same error. Still using Tequila and it's not even wanting to give me a PLAY button now. -
You can count on @Snarky to rez a thread.

You can also: Move everyone to Hive 2 or Abyss 2 (or Abyss if you are in Hive, Hive if you are in Abyss) and start fresh. Ask a GM to reset the zone. I normally run a Hamikaze style run where we have 3 tanks taunting hami and the left and right side mitos, while everyone else goes straight at Hami. If a run fails, we might back up and add 2 more tanks in to taunt the additional mitos but otherwise run it the same. If that fails, we're looking at the other 3 options. Sometimes we are fortunate enough to have an unnamed GM playing incognito in the league with us who can reset the zone real quick. 🙂 Sometimes, in my experience, you simply don't have the squad you need to do this at that time and it's better to just pack it up. That's a determination I make with the rest of my tanks and incanners. A lot of times the first and second run might be close, but then we fail the third - that's usually one we just walk away from, rather than try to fight through it.

When I click on Forums -> Servers -> Excelsior -> Excelsior Player-Led Event Calendar, I get a not so helpful view that seems to indicate there is only a Hami Raid today, and another on Saturday. I know that's not true. If I then click the "Monthly" button at the top, I get a slightly more helpful monthly view of every frickin' thing going on anywhere on Homecoming. If I then drop down "All Calendars" and select "Excelsior Player Led Events" I finally get the view I hoped to have gotten on step 1 of this journey.

There's already a mechanic in the game to make a door go cold briefly if it's clicked too soon. I wish a door would go cold for several hours after it's been clicked (by anyone) X number of times. That would force the ToT league to move to a new location which would create problems for the leachers who are left behind running into the corner of a hotel that's turned their lights off and are no longer handing out full sized candy bars.

Did someone forget to turn Excelsior back on?
Oklahoman replied to Without_Pause's topic in General Discussion
Did someone trip over the power cable on the Rikti mothership again? We really need to bury that cable.
