The current bodysuit set on beta doesn't have the right stretchiness, or any neckline options.

• They don't get ally buffs
• They don't get more powers that add to their armor set
• They do get ranged attacks.
• They do get stuff they don't have, like the hold you mentioned.

In general: The Devs have said no, as it goes against their concept of making the game "Alt friendly". They've also looked at the code to even see if it's "feasible", and have stated as recently as April that they couldn't do it, even if they wanted to without breaking things horribly.

Normally, my "baggage" with other people wouldn't matter. In the seven years before it went Inheremt, I took Stamina all of once and never let people's criticisms get to me. It made asking for advise functionally impossible, but that's still not a problem. The problem THIS time is that the people who are implicitly telling me this are the developers themselves, and how they're telling me this is via Incarnate to-hit percentages. Let me explain:

A SR Scrapper just through his own powers can achieve right around 30% defence from everything positional. That's by far not bad, but it's also by far not amazing. Under normal circumstances, it's playable to a very comfortable degree. However, Incarnate critters have a base to-hit value of 14% higher, which effectively reduces my defence down to 16^, and that IS bad. And the thing is... There is no solution to this that SR can offer. There is, however, the solution of taking Weave that just about everyone I've spoken to has given me, and this seems to be literally the only way to salvage SR outside of strong Inventions builds, which even to this day are too expensive for me. I have built a few, but mostly through donated parts.

My problem isn't with what people say. "I'm rubber you're glue" or "sticks and stones." Take a pick. It's what the people in charge do that starts to concern me, and that's not as easily brushed off unless I simply admit that I won't be making my SR characters into Incarnates. My problem is that the old game was much, much easier, meaning that I could mostly succeed on mediocre builds that don't bank on pool powers too much, but with every addition to it, this gets less and less true. "Hard" spawns peppered throughout content are becoming increasingly common, such as in Night Ward and the Incarnate game is harder than that still. As the pressure on my build increases, those "no-brainer" power picks start becoming a problem since they start becoming less of a choice.

I have a problem with Fighting because it's rarely taken with the means of implying fighting and much more commonly taken as a meta-game extra defence and resistance buff. That's not what Pools should represent, at least not in my opinion. And honestly, the concept of "a good fighter" is more something to go into an Epic for ATs that don't have entire powersets devoted to this. That's where "stuff your AT doesn't have" is best suited for. As for pools, I've always seen those as the place to get esoteric powers. It is for this reason I'm getting less and less critical of "sorcery" as a power pool despite it implying an origin to a set of powers. It really is something that has no other place to go, it isn't AT-breaking yet it applies to concept before it applies to AT, so that's the perfect fit for a Pool. Fighting... Not so much.

Basically, Fighting has become Fitness, is the thing.

Fighting gives more res/def to melee characters than it does ranged characters (except for Defenders) while Support ATs and VEATs get the best Leadership numbers.

I doubt the subscription-based MMOs will ever completely die out. They might fade a bit into the background, but they'll stick around. Soon enough the whole F2P market will become saturated (if it's not already), which'll leave a much smaller playing field for sub-based games.


Now would be a very bad time to be trying to push an MMO out on the market. In a few years, when the churn has died down some and expectations have dropped, the marketplace will probably be quite a bit more welcoming. Till then? Ouch.

The last Rambo film is what we should have gotten after First Blood.

Will a MMO ever has as much popularity or success as WoW? Probably not, but in this economic climate anything over 100k is good. If Blizzard were smart (And I have no doubt that they are), they should seriously contemplate a F2P model.

Now, if WAR ever becomes F2P, or just popular again, i'll be leaving very swiftly
