I came here to say the same thing, but tbh the 2 things are different. Endgame rewards that aren't necessarily incarnate related could be a good thing. Alot of people (not myself, but i notice it alot) complain how the only thing that matters now is incarnates and incarnate progression. This could be a great addition for people who aren't VIP and/or don't like incarnate content and it's not like the 2 couldn't co-exist either.

You're faced with 2 seperate issues here.

1) villain ouro and hero ouro are seperate. If you are a rogue in paragon city and you goto ouro you will be in the villain ouro, vice versa for vigilantes in the rogue isles

2) There is a bug in khan, if a rogue goes uses ouro or goes to any villain zone during the tf, no one will be able to enter the next mission until they are back in a hero zone. It's quite annoying. I was unaware that it would disband the whole tf if everyone on the team did it though lol, but thats never come up for me.

IIRC, you buy it for x amount (I think it's 180) reward merits for a 1 month liscence from the reward merit vendor in the auction houses/black market.

IE the guy you give your reward merits to for IOs, but not the actual wentworth employees.

This. Would rather the devs spend their time working on other things that fiddling with a system that works well enough.

Well considering how long it took them to fix this, it could be 10 years before they decide, "oh, after you've thought they were useless all this time, we dictate that HOs be restored to their original value, now go farm RSFs daily again!"

Longer story doesnt necessarily mean better story. Not saying trials have good story though, but the cutscenes in the trials are already long enough, I don't want to spend half of every trial sitting in a cutscene so people can have their story.

As for DA, we'll just have to wait and see, but number of missions isn't a really good metric.

Well it's hard to say without actual dmg/recharge/animation numbers for each ability (which I would love to see). I guess I just feel like the pet won't be any better than other pets, which I don't value highly either.

Jack Frost is in lolIceControl, Fly Trap has horrible AI, and I've never really had much experience with animate stone other than it sequesters leagues in BAF. And all pets have issues with keeping up with you and attacking what you want them to attack in anything other than a defeat all. Imps have good dps but still fall into the category of not being able to keep up and not attacking what you want them to attack.

Also, does the pet debuff tohit? Does it have any base resistance/defense? Does it have increased movement speed (like imps, for a wolf it could make sense)? And with 2 cone aoes, will it actually make decent use of them? It doesn't have ranged attacks, which I consider a good thing, especially when it comes to AI (unless Shadowy Binds is ranged, which would make me qq). Whatever the recharge on Terrifying Roar is also pretty significant, if it is too long it won't be something you can rely on. Fear isn't a super good debuff, the best part about things like Fearsome Stare is it's tohit debuff, rather than the fear. I would hope Terrifying Roar has a tohit debuff, even if its a small one. If the only tohit debuff the Pet can dish out is Shadowy Binds I will be greatly disappointed.

Doesn't sound that good, I'd love to be proved wrong though.

Good list. I am glad that the rewards for DA content uses a SSA format and not a tip/hero merit format.

The only reason I use the LFG thing now is because it's required to start itrials. I won't actually use it to find groups though cause I hate to PuG. I welcome the change though, it's great for everyone that wants to use it, I just personally won't be using it.

It looks very cool.
The real question is what powers it uses with what numbers.

Lethal Force, Grasp of Gaea, Infection, Cripple, Disintigration. >.>

I assume the goal here was to save people a switch if they didn't need to otherwise.


Though with the dev's habit of constantly adding new badge missions to both sides, badgers tend to get forced to switch periodically anyways.

I've been ignoring that for simplicity, however if you really want to include it, it doesnt make your suggestion look any better. If you count the activation end (some of which is mitigated by recovery while the nuke is animating, and some of which is reduced by endred) your suggestion at base would mean losing 100% end and 45% EoT. Thats far worse than it is currently. I don't, and I'm sure many other people dont, want to lose nearly 150% of endurance to use a single power, that's ridiculous. 150% end (with a recovery debuff on top of it) means using 6 or more blues if you want to fight through the crash and not lose your toggles, to repeat SIX INSPS, and if you keep fighting the recovery debuff will cause you to use more. No damage buff, radius increase, debuff/mez increase, or recharge increase can make that cost viable.

No u?
