Clouded

I'm quoting myself because it seems my initial thoughts were correct based on the post from Dr. Aeon.

LR and Quickness are part of a secondary which is a different beast altogether. Adding a +speed to the primary would be interesting. I can see it going both ways.


Ya, there are so many farming PBs. Plus, I said we'd probably never see a power like footstomp again.

I'd be pissed if they removed the EXP from AE, that's a terrible idea. I'm no RPer and I use AE quite often.

And this whole Ghost Town theory is bunk. There are many players, like me, that use AE to run other people's story arcs for entertainment and tickets. However, only the developers truly know the amount of players using AE, and I wonder if they can differentiate between players using it for farms, exploits or intended purposes.

Sometimes you rival the level of annoyance that Golden Girl produces.

I'm guessing the KD component will work similar to how Energy Torrent works with KB, as in a percentage. I hope it's KD and 100% for that would be TOO awesome!

My guess is Siphon Power but I could see Siphon Speed + Siphon Power. However, you bring up a good point with Granite. Plus, would it be stackable?

This one might be a bit tricky but I was thinking it could be a -damage type power. I hope there's more to it of course.

I'm not sure we'll ever see another power like footstomp. If it contains the same damage as FS then look for an increase endurance cost, recharge cost or some other type of 'penalty' to balance out the damage.

I like your speculation...now they just need to start testing this set!!

Fixed.

Perhaps you are right and coding the AI to act differently is the best way to avoid such problems, but you should know by now that coding of that nature takes time and this was an exploit fix. Not to mention the AI in this game isn't the cream of the crop.

What I'm trying to say is, the devs could be squashing the exploit just to squash it. Then they will assign the lengthy task of fixing the AI the correct way which avoids punishing legit users of the allies.

What about weapon sets like Dual Pistols? Pretty sure it's exactly the same.

I'm a big fan of the passives since they were buffed. The only power I consider skipping in INV is Unstoppable. Not because of the crash either, that's easy to deal with but more or less because I just don't use it once IOed. It's the same reason I dropped Elude from my IOed SR Brute.

You're preaching to the choir.

I was on a team sometime ago and once I hit 12 I said I'd be right back after slotting some DOs. There was a variety of lols, lolz, and lawls had by the teammates. I'm one of those folks who like non-stop action so slotting DOs will help my acc and help reduce my downtime for those 10 levels before SOs.

Is this a serious post? No really. I can't telll if you are pulling my leg or if you really just typed all this with a serious face. I really hope it's in jest otherwise I really don't understand why you pay for a service and product that makes you so unhappy.

Hmm, that could be interesting.

Again, it's 'tons of knockback AND KNOCKDOWN. And we don't know have the numbers to know how much KB and KD exists in the set.

Again, 'higher range' can mean 1 foot, 3 feet or 10 or it could mean there are 2-3 range powers akin to Focus/Hurl. But since we don't have any specifics, we can only speculate.


This is getting a bit lame ya know. I want you to take a step back, take a deep breathe and then read the following...

Ready?


1. This is only a video and commentary about a new set
2. No numbers or specifics have been released
3. AE babies will **** up any team no matter what AT or powerset they choose

So stop with the doom crying about this set until we have more info to freak out about. Instead, let's talk about what we think will make up the 'higher range' et al.


I'll be the first player beside you telling the makers of Kinetic Melee my thoughts just as soon as I can test the set, but until that time I'll refrain from making idiotic statements about a powerset when no details have been announced other than some commentary.



I have 30 more minutes are work, so reply quickly please.

Fine. I'm bored at work and I'll go back to your post to make sure I didn't overreact because I'm a big man and can admit fault when I make a mistake.

Here comes your post...

First sentence is entirely reasonable and starts off just fin.

You're worried about KB to the point of using hyberbole to make your point. This is where you start acting foolish.

KB is not a new mechanic and it's not limited to Kinetic Melee (ever hear of Shockwave?) nor is it limited to Brutes (ever hear of EVERY OTHER AT IN THE GAME?).

Here you blame the devs for messing with people and telling them they are giving us nothing. Then you start yammering about Unstoppable's crash and the lag on the ITF.

So, you are mad at the devs for giving us a new powerset. Then proceed to get more mad at them for giving us this set instead of fixing the lag on the ITF (which they did once before, believe it or not) and addressing the crash on Unstoppable (which is manageable if you would just ask how, or you can search for PowerSurge since it suffers from the same crash).

Here is why this is ignorant and why you sound foolish. The developers that create the new powersets are not the same ones that fix bugs (like the ITF lag). And Unstoppable isn't a bug, it's WAI.

Jump into a conversation? You just made some random post. If you are responding to someone then it's best to quote them or say their name.

There's a couple notables you shoud be aware of...

1. Brutes are damage dealers
2. Greater range might equal 9 feet instead of 7
3. it's 'tons of knockback and knockdown
4. inexperienced players will foul up any set
5. we still don't have any numbers

Next time you want to bring up a point then do so without the retarded ramblings about the devs and Inv's Tier 9. If you started with the above post then you would have been treated nicely, but since you started off blabbering like a fool...you get treated like a fool.
