    That is the catalyst mate.

    What people "think" and how they actually perform are separate and mostly non related.

    And this is where I ended my statement regarding the issue. People should direct any other issues they have with Blasters, their power and the power creep etc...to the devs radar since they make those decisions.

    Based on your last post I am pretty sure there is some kind of misunderstanding in what I have said, which once again dealt specifically with the words annoying and the phrase not worth it being driving forces for the devs to change powers within a powerset.

    I am sure however, the devs will be interested in reviewing your posted numbers and have at it with you about that since that is their domain.

    "Annoying" and "not worth it" can be more technically referred to as "QoL issues" and "underpowered", things which one might note have frequently prompted changes that have ended up very positive for the game.
    I can understand lack of confidence in the devs in this or that area. I recently expressed a similar lack of confidence in the devs regarding AE.

    We certainly can agree that there is no indication the "issue of underpowered tier 9 blaster powers" is on their radar at all. I personally think that is due to the lack of merit in the issue set forth, but I could be wrong.

    Owait.
    If they made the changes based on players being annoyed and the powers not being worth it then I would love to see a red letter state as much.

    See this is where there could be a misunderstanding of what I am saying or not saying so let me try to clear this up right now before it goes any further down this kind of path.

    I am not here to defend this or that position per se which if you read up thread, my comments about the pulling out and letting the devs handle this signify this clearly.

    I don't see annoying and not worth it as driving forces that will have the "devs" say oh we agree that tier 9 powers are annoying and not worth it and therefore they need to be changed. That is what I am saying nothing more nothing less. There is no need for me to state facts beyond that point because that is the only point that "I" was making period.

    Nope its NOT that simple mate, but I don't want anyone jumping down my throat for stating the facts. Not worth it and annoying are not reasons that the devs have or should be using to make power changes. It is much more complicated than that and frankly the red letters need to be here to fully explain their position on this and not players.

    i22 AE Changes?

    The devs have essentially abandoned the AE.
  10. Drops are controlled by the RNG gods.
  11. Yeah, I think I saw a red name saying they were looking into giving a notice.
  12. All of the merits should be able to buy ALL of the items any other merits can. Gated recipes/items buy merits BLOWS LARGE UNEVEN CHUNKS.
  13. If people don't want to personally deal with KB they need to pick a powerset without it.
  14. OK when I start seeing things like "annoying" listed as a reason to change powers I know what matter is under me and I am running for the hills.

    Yeah, I'll let the devs handle this one...
  15. The ebil marketeers are messing with level 20 Miracles so......

    I have to say you are trying hard to deal with us pessimist and doing well. Cheers.

    Tier9 nukes are much stronger than judgments. Is the premise they are inferior in your eyes because of the crash? Not sure if I understand the logic in the final conclusion here.

    That said, after Issue 22 this will no longer be a problem. There won't be any IOs worth over a billion till they introduce something completely new. And yes, I'm fairly certain of that too.
    Nice to see you chime in TopDoc. I'll take your word because over the years you have never just said something to bump your post count. Cheers.

    As a predominantly solo player, I don't run TF's much.

    Is there a way to test my toon's mettle against L54 Vanessa DeVore in an equivalent
    solo mission of some sort (ie. Ouros, AE, etc.)???

    He has fun with Pylons, and can tank some GM's indefinitely (Scrappy, Lusca,
    for instance), so I'd be curious to actually see how he does against the Carny tart.


    Regards,

    In AE she is probably listed under the Carnies as an option yes.
  21. >>>Flame suit on<<<

    IMHO this is just something that should never happen and is an obvious reason to raise the cap.

    The devs could protect everyone from this type of scam yet refuse to do so. Ok devs.....

    Flame away.

    On the other hand, we can still get a lot done with what we already have, so things could be worse.
    ARGH!!

    I would say more but most would be censored and is against forum rules.
