I like the original Idea, also for the side discussion, the Rikti ground invasion happens AFTER the ships and bomb phase, and if you are moving your basically wont get spawned on. you have to stand still or be in a large team. Next time you are in a zone that is having an invasion just broadcast to join the league that inevitably forms. You'll find your spawns (and badges) that way for sure.

This is amusing that no one here has fully put 2 and 2 together for you. If you are logging out in a Day Job location you will exit instantly. There is a small handful of other places that have a super short log out time like 5 seconds. But I also think the old standard 30 was reduced to 15 as well.

I am pleasantly surprised at the rationality of these requests. I approve! I however will still be spinning on my rock tank in granite armor, because it's just as hilarious to see him spin as it is to see him do a back flip performing ripper. And it's a riot when he stops spinning to flip and then continues spinning!

This is correct, people also used to grief Hami raids with Kronos spawns. Though some times you can get him to help.

I stand corrected after refreshing my knowledge, all Melee checks melee def, that includes melee cones and pbaoe. Only range single targets check Ranged. And all others are AoE, assuming not auto-hit, including patches, ranged cones, etc, use AoE.

So it's an AoE hole, because only the highest applicable DEF is checked, not multiple defenses. Thus if you have positional you don't need type, and if you have type you don't need positional. However Toxic attacks only check against positional. Also if any attack is dual damage type once again the Highest applicable DEF is checked, thats why Blasters with just capped S/L/E are very tough. Even though they might have lower neg/fire/cold/psi/toxic, many of those attacks are dual damage typed with S/L thus the S/L defense is used against those dual damage attacks. So if there is an AoE hole and no type defense, the real hole is AoE.

As much as I would like to see the Jade Spider spawn and run around a pvp zone and have people going in to try and defeat it, potentially stirring up some activity there. My adherence to Lore prevents me from supporting the idea. As it was a "unique" ultimate weapon powered by a living psychic, and was destroyed. Hence why it's only in the Ouro "TF". But I would see merit in adding the Silos TF/SF to the weekly TF/SF rotation, so it can get more publicity.

I stand corrected, but it as also a poor substitute for +recovery until you get it perma'd which is normally not done before lvl 20 that's for sure. But you carry a point.

You mean the "Only" variety... not a bit. Best guess it was probably set to mimic the old days and taking stamina at 20 and then all of a sudden having soooooo much more freedom. As to your last paragraph, I direct you to the Darkness Manipulation discussion I attempted to start link in my signature. It needs more love then any other blaster set by far... IMO.

Someone else chimed in with the results before you... You were late. I will settle for nothing less then the Fake summoning in a whole new Fake to takes it's place, thus you still have to burst damage it quickly for the last 1/3rd to 1/4th of it's health like you do right now, lest you be fighting an endless chain of Fakes.... PFF is fine.

Hey Gastly, Ummm don't sit there and twiddle your thumbs, move on to the next group... that boss will come seek you out once the bubble wears off. You claim this power doesnt give Nemi an advantage in battle and I would like to suggest the advantage is it changes how you fight them. I will purposely hold off on my hardest hitting attacks or KD's or what have you until they are close to the amount of health they activate their shield at and then I will try and get them before they can activate. Alternately it also makes them a prime target for any character with a hold, leaving the snipers open to put holes through people, and warhulks free to well hulk things. If the Fakes didn't use PFF you could practically ignore them. You target them BECAUSE they annoy us. They also arn't the only mob that has this power what about Crey Juggernaughts? You haven't mentioned now much you absolutely hate them yet? I would think you would seek out every instance of an enemy doing what you don't want them to do... But I guess it's ok that those red enviro suits can make impenetrable bubbles?

Still probably wouldn't take it.

My question is: WHY IS ICE MANIPULATION THE ONLY BLASTER SECONDARY TO GET IT'S +RECOVERY POWER AT LEVEL 10 INSTEAD OF LEVEL 20!?!?!?! Fix OP's issue and move the power to lvl 20!

Fakes may be able to still be buffed by LTs vengeance while bubbled up, I would have to double check. As frustrating as it is, it's a Nemesis tactic, and adds flair to the villain group. If the fakes didn't have the PFF then they really are unremarkable as bosses. If anything all nemesis troops should be equipped with the same tactic! Imagine how annoying they would become!

Bugs and glitchs can happen guy! You really really really need to drop your animosity! You love to show up and pick fights and you NEED to stop it!

Don't try and shift blame onto me, all I did was ask a simple question. Ya'll need to look inward to ask yourselves why you are interpreting something for more then face value.

QFT all of it. Super stunners are the roughest on END, their sleep patch and rez are auto hit! But I'm ok with it, a nice tough boss is good. Plus it re-enforces the mindset of "Don't stand in stupid!"

Perhaps some refinement on design, but I'm here to say I like the concept of the set, and I support this idea. I would like to see some more blast and control sets. I will however point out one "problem" with this powerset. In the flavor of propelling summoned objects, the game doesn't like showing the same object to all players on a team, this would likely have to be worked out for the attacks that have "special items that deal other damage types." Something to think about.

That is why I just pointed out how it sounded. Not bent out of shape, just wanted them to make them aware.

Really, I didn't need the explanation. I already understand all of the ramifications. just so you know intended or not, this particular paragraph felt pretty condescending. Still staying neutral on this topic. Though I feel your solutions is so far the most elegant.

It was a joke, kinda, but I'd say SO's themselves are significantly less immersion breaking then IO's.

Who buys SO's?

Stop being such a jerk! I have said nothing in this tread to even remotely suggest I am against the OP's suggestion! SurfD you just dislike me coming into threads and asking questions. Seriously chill out! If you want I can start shooting hole in the OP if you'd rather have me do that! I understand the OP is frustrated. Do I view it as as big of an issue as they seem to think? Absolutely not for Babbage, he's in Boomtown ALL THE TIME, no one ever hunts him there. If it was a Kronos Titan I'd have more sympathy. But you know what? I didnt come in here and start anything up, nope I just asked a SIMPLE QUESTION. And if the answer had been "Yes, we were unable to finish the TF." (Which I was honestly curious about, I've never not gotten a Babbage, and really haven't ever paid that much attention if it is a requirement for TF completion). I would have fully supported him. He isn't trying to OP anything, he isn't trying to change lore. He's not asking for some complex amount of coding that is likely to break the game. I really don't have any issues with the request, I have some potential concerns, since I consider things from all angles. Which I could gladly share if anyone is curious. But most likely SurfD is going to blow up at me again. So Whatever!

So I just went over all the descriptions, it's not like the descriptions for most have really been changed, just a little bit added really, I'm not really seeing a problem. Excepting with "Whisperer on Witchburn Hill" which did loose a sentence but this may be due to a character limit I dont know the logistics.

Not completely irrelevant. Please consider if it actually prevented completion then it becomes a much larger issue.
