Nerf defence. I can't even play resist sets anymore, they feel like a joke.

[Odhinn]

Can we nerf nefrherders?

Nerf logic.

"Being good at one specific thing" != "overpowered" (and Spines/Fire Brutes aren't even the best at what they do).

Ah, but defense is much easier to build with IOs.  Which means that resist sets can stack def on top of their resists while it's much harder for def sets to add resistance, so actually it's the resist sets that need to be nerfed!

Or you can stop your whining and bother to notice that really anything can farm if you build a farm specifically to its strengths. I farm with my blasters, I farm with my dominators. Or if you don't like it you can just not make one or don't farm and stop making it your business to crap on the people that enjoy it. Every single armor type can be built to be strong to ONE aspect of protection. And as such every single brute or tanker etc, can farm if they build that farm to deal only in that specific damage type. So I guess all tankers and brutes are Overpowered and all need to be nerfed.

Submitted for consideration I would like to suggest nerfing the fear in Burn, End consumption for all toggle powers, the "rule of 5" for IO bonus slotting, and the "unique" limitation on IO set use. 

 

Just saying, lets retake the term nerf and make it into a positive again.

Already nerfed, it's a reaction of the AI to being attacked so many times in a small time frame.

It is easier, yes, especially because you only have to get to 45%, versus anywhere from 75% to 90% for resistance, but with the changes to set bonuses in I24+, it's possible to get meaningful resistance through IO sets.

While that seems to be the way everyone's responded to it, I'm like 99% sure the OP's post wasn't satire considering their post history.

So...what you're saying is we need to nerf resistance AND defense?

 

I'm concerned that if we do that then players will take to just hiding around corners, and nerfing all the corners could have serious implications for the map geometry.

Nerf corners. And buildings. Nerf ranged powers and geometry. Nerf the mighty morphin' power losers. Nerf calculus and noodle soup.

 

Nerf right click Mouse button, nerf Ben Savage, nerf the wonder years and Nerf Big Ben. Nerf Elmo.

 

Nerf nerf.

We can have fun and a voice opinions at the same time, can't we?

I merely threw out some that could be considered common complaints and some silly. I appreciate those that take the time to express a concern, create humor or just vent.

There is a lot of humor in things that are at least partially troo.

Taken from the Suggestions board that I’d just learned to live with, but really does annoy me when I think about it;

 

Nerf Sound Effects and Music volumes.

 

I play with them set to 3% and 2% respectively and they still overwhelm all but the loudest parts of music or audio I’m streaming at max volume in the background.

 

The settings that don’t blow out my eardrums are so low there’s no ability to fine tune them at all... going up or down a percent on the FX is a 33% change and it’s worse for the in game music.

 

So, I’d like to see a global Sound Effects and Music nerf of 50%.

 

Alternately, I want implementation of the old long-promised FREEM visual sound effects system. This is a comic book world; we should be reading, not hearing, the sound effects. 😁

[SwitchFade]

Nerf yo' mama.

 

Nerf my mama.

 

Nerf pajamas, the inside of ovens and Olympic curling.

 

Nerf birds, nerf bats and Nerf meerkats.

 

Nerf so much you create buffs.

 

Then nerfaliscious that mo' fo' too.

This is all true. My sound effects volume is set to 10% and it's still louder than all the other apps on my PC.

I like most of the sounds in the game, I think the Legacy sound guy did a good job overall. The game sounds are overly loud though and I play with my volumes at around 10% unless I'm in chat with friends then I have to turn it down even further.

 

Some sounds I find truly annoying; MM Bots stomping around and Demon rawrs, the portals in PI, Spines and Fire auras to name a few. Some I silence outright other I modify. I reduced dog bark volumes by 80%, Demons giggle like infants, Bots squeak like rubber duckies, glowies cackle like pack of hyenas.
