Width enhancment

[madhobbit]

Back in the early days of COH, there was a enhancement that widened the width of a  power AOE . They removed it because it confused a lot of new players. How about bringing it back?

Just for general reference, from Paragonwiki -

 

There are several Enhancement aspects that have been retired and combined into new ones. The currently known ones are:

• Cone Range, which was incorporated into the Range aspect;
• Endurance Drain, and
• Endurance Recovery, which were merged into the Endurance Modification aspect;
• Team Defense, and
• Self Defense, which were merged into the Defense Buff aspect

This is what I remembered as well, it was not a cone widening it was a range specific to cone powers.

cones doesn't get wider arcs from enhancements, they get longer and occupy more volume.

Get back with your vile trigonometry!

I don't recall any enhancements that ever increased AoE radius or cone arc angle. I've been playing since I3, so I doubt I ever missed those unless they were in beta and never an actual part of the game.

I distinctly remember this too from waaaay back in like issue one, but it isn't in the patch notes anywhere. Must be the Mandela effect/misunderstanding the cone range enhancements. Probably from old forum guides saying "slotting this gives you a wider arc" and omitting "because the cone is longer and thus wider on the end".

 

They should definitely be added though. Turn all cones into PBAoEs with maximum width enhancement! While we're at it add range to PBAoEs. Aggro 16 different guys from random groups on the entire map! Fuck corner pulling!

ugh, my wife gave me the same suggestion/feedback last night.

 

"Sorry it's not wider, honey"

That's what she said.

Really this was just a range thing.

 

Get an AOE with a wide cone but short range, then add range enhancers .. suddenly its insane how much the Area affected is due to the increase in range. 

 

Its less spectacular on a narrow, long range cone of course, due to the positioning required.

Ugh, so you'd have to split the enhancements 50/50 in powers like Maneuvers if you wanted to equally enhance what you gave your team vs what you gave yourself?

I mean to be fair I would not be opposed to an enhancement that increased the angle of cone powers.
