Consider larger changes during revamps but leave the legacy set intact

I will need proof that Force Field is now grossly overpowered.  From my experience it is better than it was but no where near overpowered, let alone grossly overpowered, but maybe I'm missing something.

 

PS: Dear @GM Crumpet:  You just fell into Captain Fabulous' trap.  Cap't Fab has been on an ANTI-power creep rant recently and his post was dripping in sarcasm.

I know, I don't mind his posts and he does generally drip with sarcasm, but some people do actually believe the things he says in jest.

PK (also known as The Philotic Knight) now known as @Nope would probably love this. As I recall, he was arguably the largest fan of Force Field and the most dedicated Force Field player in game. He knew that set better than anyone else in game and mastered it to the brink of new level understanding of the set. Yeah, I layed it on thick there, but you get my point. If I am not mistaken, he left the game over the changes to the set and how he was treated by trying to express his opinion about the set by players/posters who never really even played the set. There is a lot more to it than this, much more, but that is all I am willing to say about it. My point being, I'm sure PK would be thrilled if this would be implemented. I for one would like to see this man happy once again if this were to be made a reality.

 

My guess is the ship has probably already sailed on this one.  If it played out like my suggestion,  force field would likely have gotten a few more changes to further differentiate it from the legacy set and then get introduced as a seperate set.

 

And no,  i never intended for every minor change to result in a new set,  hence the consider larger changes during a revamp part of the title.  I would think if 1 power was to be significantly altered and the rest were to remain,  that 3 or more powers would receive significant changes instead and be offered as a new set.  It could mean buffs or nerfs but mostly that the set no longer plays the same.  Generally revamps result in a buff but not everyone is chasing that last ounce of performance and just want their set to remain their set.

 

And without pinging him,  i do appreciate Player-1's replies even though it pretty much was a no.  They have seen what i had to say and might find a use for it in the future even though it seems unlikely at the moment.
