Why are the jetpacks "greyed out" in BB ?? can someone explain the reasoning behind this??? Check out the updates in this section of Issue 27: https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Issue_27_Page_1#PvP_Updates A majority of temporary powers were disabled in the last issue. There is now a vendor in Bloody Bay that offers temporary jetpacks that you can only use in PvP zones or in the arena. Edit: PvP zones now obey the same rules as the arena when it comes to banning powers This means that anything previously disabled in the Arena will now be disabled in PvP zones Arena temporary powers now work in PvP zones The following powers are now disabled in the Arena and in PvP zones: Most Mayhem/Safeguard powers Empowerment Station buffs crafted in bases Most Day Job powers Cathedral of Pain buffs Various prestige/temporary powers Complete list of disabled powers: Increase_Recovery (from Mayhem/Safeguard) Mayhem_Increase_Movement_Speed Mayhem_Increase_Endurance Mayhem_Increase_Health Mayhem_Increase_Regeneration prestige_InspirationGrant (Inner Inspiration) Cryonite_Armor Wedding_Band Wedding_Band_FB Mayhem_Cryonite_Armor Mayhem_Store_Kinetic_Shield Vanguard_Psionic_Shield Invention_Kinetic_Dampener Alt_LP_Kinetic_Dampener Alt_Defense_Amplifier_1_hour Alt_Defense_Amplifier_4_hour Alt_Defense_Amplifier_8_hour Alt_Offense_Amplifier_1_hour Alt_Offense_Amplifier_4_hour Alt_Offense_Amplifier_8_hour Alt_Survival_Amplifier_1_hour Alt_Survival_Amplifier_4_hour Alt_Survival_Amplifier_8_hour Alt_Frosty_Aegis Day_Job_Movement_Increase_Lesser Day_Job_Movement_Increase_Greater Pilot_Lesser Pilot_Greater Day_Job_Increase_Regeneration_Lesser Day_Job_Increase_Regeneration_Greater Day_Job_Increase_Endurance_Lesser Day_Job_Increase_Endurance_Greater Day_Job_Increase_Recovery_Lesser Day_Job_Increase_Recovery_Greater Day_Job_Damage_Resistance_Lesser Day_Job_Damage_Resistance_Greater Day_Job_Psionic_Resistance_Lesser Day_Job_Psionic_Resistance_Greater Day_Job_ColdNegative_Resistance_Lesser Day_Job_ColdNegative_Resistance_Greater Day_Job_DPS_Buff_Lesser Day_Job_DPS_Buff_Greater Day_Job_Improved_Recharge_Time_Lesser Day_Job_Improved_Recharge_Time_Greater Combat_Shield Increase_Attack_Speed (Empowerment Station) Increase_Flight_Speed Increase_Jump_Speed Increase_Run_Speed Increase_Perception Grant_Invisibility Smashing_Resistance Lethal_Resistance Cold_Resistance Fire_Resistance Energy_Resistance Negative_Energy_Resistance Toxic_Resistance Psionic_Resistance Endurance_Drain_Resistance Slow_Resistance Knockback_Protection Knockback_Increase Confusion_Resistance Fear_Resistance Disorient_Resistance Hold_Resistance Immobilize_Resistance Sleep_Resistance Arachnos_Power_Shield I22_MissionReward_BoonSunXiong The_Perfect_Eye The_True_Furnace Heart_of_a_Storm_Elemental Anger_Monument Crystal_of_Resilience The_Atlas_Medallion Super_Patriot Freedom_Phalanx_Reserve Task_Force_Commander Portal_Jockey Crey_CBX-9_Pistol Eye_of_the_Magus Vanguard_Medal Geas_of_the_Kind_Ones Marshall High_Pain_Threshold Born_In_Battle Stolen_Immobilizer_Ray Demonic_Aura Megalomaniac Invader Force_of_Nature Iron_Man RIWE_Accolade_Power GRHeroAlignmentPower GRVigilanteAlignmentPower GRRogueAlignmentPower GRVillainAlignmentPower Invention_Recovery_Serum Alt_LP_Recovery_Serum Alt_Frost_Bite_Granter Alt_Frost_Bite Alt_Winter_Ward Flames_of_Prometheus Edited February 5, 2021 by Glacier Peak 1 Pocket D Zone Tour Best Post Ever....

Nerio72 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 This thread might have the answer (I don't wanna read 10 pages to find it myself...) Good luck. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/23657-focused-feedback-pvp-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 its to create a more balanced environment for people with less time they are willing to spend gearing up a toon. the jet packs seem innocent enough, but there are several other buffs that give significant advantages to those who get them, things like tf buffs, mayhem buffs, super group buffs, cathedral of pain buffs, warburg nukes, all of the summons that you can get, etc etc. essentially everyone would have the choice of pve-ing for 3 hours for every hour they want to pvp, or being at a disadvantage to those who do. so, all non arena (pvp) temp powers were removed from pvp zones, as this was a flag that was already in the game so was easier than going through and vetting every single temp power to see what was and wasn't worth limiting 2 twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
