    Yeah, this was me. I was so excited for UM and was just trying to decide if I wanted Absolute Amazement or Apocalypse in Hand Clap. Had a brand-new new build all worked out with 80% or better resistances, softcapped typed defense and melee defense. Would've been nice to be able to build without the Fighting pool, but that's only because the SS changes made it so I no longer had a gap in my rotation, with Foot Stomp and Hand Clap having shorter base CDs.

    I'm literally demotivated to play at this point. Went from huge excitement to negative interest in the span of a couple days.

     

    Well, not Absolute Amazement as the changes were going, cause the stun was set to replace and not stack. So if it maintained the same stun duration (I didn't see that being altered in notes, just that it lacked a chance for 1 additional mag in UM form) it's essentially perma-stun effect if you put one generic level 25 stun IO in it.

    Now, now, can't go upsetting the afk farmers by adding something that isn't designed specifically to please them...

    Sorry, on what planet are people using SS for AFK farming?

     

    Yeah that's... lol. Like, taking the powerset that would want Rage AND an AoE damage power on auto to AFK farm. If anything the toggle form would be better for AFK farmers! Then you don't have to worry about needing two auto casts!

     

    Listen, I see you want to demonize the people who took the cool thing away, but, you should. Just not do this. It's silly.

    My thought on thoughts like this is that we don't know what else Synapse and Hit Streak had planned as far as big changes following the PPM change. They might've been asked but who knows if their notes and memories were still enough to build from.  Homecoming devs came into this like a half-built renovation and the homeowners have already moved back in, they've had to work around that.  Something to keep in mind as we give feedback.  CP's not Hit Streak, and neither of them were Jack.

     

    Synapse was in the Dev Q&A, luckily!

     

    Are there any progression, itemization etc. systems or ideas from other games that you have worked on since or have played since CoH's development that you can see working in City of Heroes? Do you have any advice you'd give to the current people supporting the game, or things you'd personally like to see, whether as a player or former developer?

    • As far as totally unsolicited advice, I offer the following:

      - Trying to balance this mess is a lost cause. Embrace the chaos, fix the very very bottom and very very top performers and always try to make things more fun.

      - This one is obvious, but it's amazing how often I have to remind people of this. Approach everything with goals first.

      - Ask yourself "how is this serving the playerbase?" "is this the best solution to this problem?"

      - Know that you're doing amazing work!

    These look AMAZING! Please tell me someone from the Dev team has already reached out to you about working on implementing a variation of these power sets? Exo Blast and Tactical Armor look fantatic!

     

    Man I wish.

    Which is not something every archetype or even team makeup has access to. Just trying to make a power nobody has any reason to pick (Black Hole) and a cool looking power with much more usage cases but still finicky (Dimension Shift) more usable.

     

    Yeah, my point was it would not be particularly overpowered considering enemy is present but can't affect player is essentially any mez when you break it down.

  7. there's a +Perception IO in ToHit in I believe the Rectified Reticle set, just slot that.

     

    Oh, you mentioned that. Well, shit, how much more do you need between that and Tactics? Is it just a blue numbers hangup?

  8. me, on my dark/dark defender i've played for decades, having everything feared and stunned: I am glad I have this additional chance to do -7.5 tohit in a slow recharging stun power, which is less than unenhanced gloom on defender scales. The stun in it at base lasts for 12~ seconds, meaning I am really getting use out of the 10s unenhanceable duration of the tohit debuff.

     

    I'm just kidding ain't no way I'd take dark pit lol
