Indeed. In addition, raising the level cap now would require much more effort than it did back then, because the game was much more simple without an established endgame. The invention system and incarnate system aren't really built in such a way that would accomodate an increased level cap, infact they do the exact opposite, and support expansion without needing to raise the level cap.

I have.

1) Badges: The main reason we got galaxy echo was because the badges would become unobtainable otherwise. The badges that were in the rikti crash site and old faultline appear in the new versions of those zones. It wasn't possible for that to be done with GC because there was no replacement to the zone other than the tutorial, but that wouldnt work as a place to hold those badges.

2) Date of the change: Faultline was revamped a really long time ago. Doing something about the old faultline *now* just wouldnt make sense. There would be no reason to goto the old faultine other than maybe once to see what it was like and then never going back to it again. The reason it worked for GC is because there are badges there that people need to have access to. If they /did/ bring back old faultline can you honestly say most people would goto that zone other than check it out once then never come back? It would just be another dead zone in coh.

edit: to clarify, my reasons against it are more that there is no justifiable reason to support bringing it back, not that I'm against it just to be against it, since there would be no purpose to the zone.

And then watch as 20 completely unrelated bugs pop up cause NC doesn't test their code.

Didn't say it didn't. But the change happened a very long time ago that it would be odd if they brought it back now.

That doesn't really apply here. In other game's people/groups of people are defined by their guild tag. In this game people are defined by their global name (which can be changed). If you go around doing such things that would give you a negative reputation it's your global name that will be affected.

Liberty is high volume? 0.o

TBH if you can't handle liberty, I doubt a server transfer would solve your issues.

Yes, attuned IOs work without the licence because they aren't IOs.

The rule of 5 is determined by the name of the set bonus. Since the 10% rchg ATO bonus and the 10% rchg bonus from purples has the same name (Superior Recharge Bonus) you can only have 5 total of them (ie 5 purple sets with +rchg OR 4 purples with +rchg and 1 very rare ATO set with +rchg).

If the set bonus has a different name then you can go beyond 5. A good example of this is the luck of the gambler +7.5% rchg. Since it has a specific name of it's own you can have 5 lotg +7.5% rchg, and an additional 5 7.5% rchg from other set bonuses.

To be fair, the change to hamidon being able to kill PA was intentional to keep more builds viable for hami raids and strategies that don't hinge on specific builds/powers. Being able to be killed by drones is there to prevent griefing. And finally the fall damage in ouro doesn't impact normal play.

I'm not sure if the crates actually kill PA or not (instead of just damaging them), but as long as the crates aren't outright killing them, then I don't see it as a big issue, since nothing else can damage them to finish them off. If the crates are actually killing the PA then I'd say it's something worth fixing.

You already emphasized the biggest issue I always bring up when people suggest weapon sets for Doms (which most people fail to realize when proposing weapon sets for doms). Since redraw on doms would easily be more debilitating than it is for any other AT, even extreme cases like Kin corrs, because you pretty much /need/ to intertwine your primary and secondary together to be most effective as a dom.

Basically if they did a weapon set for doms the redraw would have to be cut to an absolute minimum as you mentioned or be absolutely beastly to make up for it.

Pretty good write-up.

Yeah I was just talking about the inf from drops. The market inflation is nice too

edit: especially curious to see what effect it will have on ATO prices. Haha, oh man.

fixt.

Scrapper and Brute damage is quite similar when the Brute has ~75% fury and the scrapper has minimal damage buffs or when both ATs are damage capped. On the low end Scrappers will benefit more from initial damage buffs, but will even out with brutes at damage cap.

Also brutes will work better with sets like /fa, /dark, and /elec while a scrapper will work better with sets like /sd and /ea. /wp and /invul work on both ATs, scrappers benefiting from a secondary that actually has a taunt aura and brute benefiting from higher base hp and hp caps.

The choice of scrapper or brute is more about the secondary pick than the primary pick, imo. So it would be helpful if OP mentioned which secondaries he was looking at to pair staff with.

10 Mil was quite comfortably considered to be 'well off' before IOs. After IOs hit 100 mil was about what it took to get a good IO build on your hands (that's about how much my fire/fire brute cost, which was my first IO'd toon)

Not quite. It's more like a damage proc (which is exactly what it is) it will trigger off anything that deals damage, even if it can't be slotted for damage.

Dark Servant can proc Interface with Chill of the Night and Teneberous Tentacles.
