You either buff what is falling behind or nerf what is ahead.
My preffered method of balancing is to buff what is falling behind up to what is on top and then if the situation presents itself make the game harder to keep things challenging, with the weakest link brought up to par it can be alot easier to make the game harder without a certain portion (or at the very least limit that portion) of the game feeling ostracized and unable to keep up. -

I've not found any ATs that can do that. I've seen certain players and builds that reportedly accomplished such feats. As often as not using a plethora of tools independent of AT. But I've not found it to be the case in personal experience.

I believe the wording was "many (the majority of players) don't think the power (MoG) is worth taking"

Looks even better now.

Now that was pretty darn funny and very creative. I liked it.

I like the fact that a woman is in charge of the team in a corporation. Good job.

DP could stand to have a few animation times adjusted.

Not wanting to change Solar Flare from Knockback to Knockdown because that would make Solar Flare overpowered does not mean that the rest of the PB's powers were even a part of that discussion to say they were is false.
No dev has said that they feel that KB is a gigantic design flaw for PB or Energy Blasters powers, nor have they acknowledged KB as a factor implemented to limit the performance of any other power than Solar Flare. -

He couldn't be WP - WP is fairly strong against Psionics and the Hulk is not.

3 on the rant scale.

That was an AWESOME clip and wonderful setup for the things to come. Can't wait thanks for sharing.

Looks like it's worth seeing.

Is there any truth to the rumor that there will be a new badge called Super Packer (guy with cheesehead) for buying more than 50 packs? That will surely spur sales.

FFS that's a bloody drag.

Quote:Oh crap that's right I got completely messed up think it was something it was not. My bad sorry.Originally Posted by Roderick
Paragon Rewards aren't a "currency", they're just a reworked version of the old Vet Reward System. Paragon Points aren't an in-game currency, they're more like City of Heroes gift cards that you can only buy for yourself - they're real dollars, but only spendable here.
And it's about 6 months too late to be complaining about the addition of either of these... -
Quote:No what actually happened is Castle said he did not want to make the singular change to Solar Flare power because he felt the singular power might be overpowered for the desired power for the AT he had envisoned. That does not mean KB is not effective, that does not mean KB is bad or useless, that does not mean that PB's suck etc....Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
No. I'm telling you point blank that the Devs have told us that the knockback on Peacebringer powers is not going to be changed to Knockdown because they are afraid that would make Peacebringers overpowered. I'm not "twisting" anything. I'm sorry that you're unable to accept it but I guess that's your prerogative.
You made a blanket petty statement that is not true and does not hold true to the PB's played daily in the game and were called on it. The best thing to do now is to go back where you were with the personal preference thing and leave it at that because you not liking KB is never going to make them suck it is only going to continue to show your pettiness about your overstatement. -
Quote:DUDE... now you are getting a bit crazy about this thing and trying to twist it so your personal preference comments trump people's actual effectiveness using PB's daily and that is just a place I will not go with you man....Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
You're trying to argue that Knockback is beneficial to the AT when the devs have already acknowledged that the knockback is there as a limiting effect to prevent the AT from being overpowered. It is not a matter of opinion, it is fact. Knockback is detrimental to Peacebringers and those who play with them. We should not be discussing something that's already been established, which you guys are hell bent on doing- We should be focused on making a strong case for why changing KB to KD would not be overpowering.
You act like you never played on a team with an Energy blaster or PB that has not tossed everything out of your personal way, that is straight up stupid man. In addition, you act like you never teamed with a controller with holds, IDK man I think you are just on some kind of hater binge and it has clouded any real possibility of reason that might be underneath all of that stacked pettiness. -
Quote:Yeah, that was a bit cryptic hehe. PB's had no break-free with Dwarf for years that is a very recent change. Having said that I was thinking about how it use to be on Khelds prior to that time and it was not the best of COX experiences.Originally Posted by VTG_Peace
Very dramatic. What's your point though? Khelds have mez protection that comes wrapped up in a nice big tanky thing that can be activated any time. Or at least mine do.
I guess a human only build could have mez problems, but that's like saying that a SR scrapper has mez problems if they skip Practiced Brawler.
I am usually very direct about these kinds of things so sorry. I was just kind of hinting they could find a way to allow Blasters to "break-free" so to speak as well. Someone up thread I think here had an idea about the tier 1 and 2 attacks building up a break-free from attacking while mezzed which I thought was pretty darn creative and would help blasters in this area.
Sorry for my original cryptic post and miserably failed attempt at humor. -

You realize this isn't just a matter of opinion, right? The Devs have already told us that the KB is staying in place on Peacebringers to prevent overpowering. I forgot who posted it originally, but it wasn't too long ago- Someone asked about changing Solar Flare KB to KD and was told that they were afraid if Solar Flare did KD it would be overpowered. The KB that you seem to be convinced is something I'm too thick to use properly and that you've figured out some ancient wiseman's secret about has already been acknowledged by the development team to be a mechanic that is there in order to make the AT less potent. The only problem here is convincing them that KD wouldn't be overpowering, because it really wouldn't at all.
Actually, if you back up a second and go back and read how "you" presented it then you would realize that NO you are acting like it is NOT a personal preference and that it is fact, hence the all PB's suck types of petty comments.
If you had presented it as your opinion and not the blanket petty they all suck comment, I doubt anyone of us would have commented or tried to present examples of how it does NOT suck, depending on how you deploy the powers or if one is not tainted with the petty the entire AT sucks because I don't like it tag line. -

Powersets aren't purchased with Paragon Reward Tokens, they're purchased with Paragon Points.

Quote:They do when deployed correctly, but you have already disqualified yourself as a person of reason in the discussion sorry.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
They don't function in a synergistic or productive way.

Quote:Honestly this statement alone pretty much disqualifies you as a person the devs should remotely consider listening too for ANYTHING related to the PB.Originally Posted by TwoHeadedBoy
Your Peacebringer sucks, just like every other Peacebringer in the game.
I mean it is one thing not to like Energy Blaster and PB powers due to KB, but to say they suck because you don't like them and they don't fit your play style is pretty petty. Devig. -
Staff fighting is coming. Soon™.
