In my opinion, this is really sad. Not only are they going to be playing a different game, they're going to have different boards.

Well, there go all those cool European people that I like.

I'm going to miss the whole global community we had. Now there will only be like 3 other people on when I usually play.

*sigh* Such is life...

Well, they've already said many of today's magic heroes are descendants of Mu, so they can't be THAT special.

Wait, so there's going to be North America boards and then European boards?

Why the need to segregate us? I mean, c'mon, we can get along, right people?

Actually he's left NCSoft to start his own company, Gaffney Consulting.

5 stars to anyone who knows what the hell I'm talking about

Man, I wish I could've entered, but my costume was soooo damn complicated.

Maybe next year...

Guy has, oh, let's say 5 of these insps in his tray. You hold him. He uses one. You AoE hold him. He uses one. Your gravity pet uses one. He uses one. You Wormhole him. He uses one. You hit him with your hold again. He uses one. Your pet holds him. OOPS! HE'S OUT OF INSPS!

This'll be about as crippling to your AT as healing insps will be to mine.

It's not like they're even going to be Scrapper level defenses. C'mon, have a little more faith in the development team than this.

Nice.

I'm thinking It'll hit test around the end of this month.

Dude, in the 40+ game, blasters NEED defenses.

And unless they are the level of Scrapper defenses, they will not break anything, except maybe the jaws of the villians.

Of course he could! Master Chief "needs a weapon" :P.

Instead of lowering AoE damage, why not limit damage enhancements to say 4 instead as a cap?

[/ QUOTE ]

NOOOOO!!! SHHHHH!!!...

Blasters having no defense need all the damage we can get ...

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, we're not supposed to be giving ideas, but I think a suitable fix would be it dealing less damage the further it goes from the core of the blast. This would still ensure teh ubar damage, while making it not too ubar damage.

Well, I'm not trying to speak for the development team, but the reason I can see is it's poorly balanced for a Scrapper set. KO Blow is what, the 6th power? What level of damage does it deal? Extreme? Ouch, my Scrapper has to wait till level 32 to get that, and you're getting it at level 18 or so.

The ONLY thing about Regeneration is that internal playtesting has shown that it MIGHT be a little too good. But that's an impression - there will be nothing immediate changed and there might be nothing at all. It's just on my list of things to look at, that's all.

sorry for the hijack but the word needs to be spread

It won't be hard to find that thread, it's gonna remain pretty much at the top for a few days, it'll show up multiple times in Dev Digest...

I'm down to 1 respec. PLEASE tell me that you will give us post 40 folk an extra one to get the epic pools?

Please, please, please, don't put suggestions or opinions in this thread - definitely post your ideas! - but just put questions here. I can read them and post answers much more quickly.

Ok... do you like my PBAoE -recharge aura idea?

I kid... I kid...

Umm.... oh. Can you elaborate further on the regen tweak that you mentioned?

EDIT: Ouch, beaten to the punch. Oh well, now that there are 2 of us, he has to respond! Mwahahaha!

*Is now official Statesman fanboi*

OMGOMGOMG YOU HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT US!!!!

*ahem*

I am now here to suggest an idea to help with the SR dilemma.

The AoE defense at 28 and 35 is really harsh. If it wouldn't be too gamebreaking (and honestly, I can't see how) To put PBAoE defense in Focused Fighting and Dodge, and put Cone and Ranged AoE defense in Focused Senses.

This will leave room for 2 more powers, which I would suggest putting in powers that not everyone will take, but are still useful in their own right. My personal suggestion would be a PBAoE -recharge aura, your reflexes are so fast that enemies around you seem to move slower in comparison.

I like the set the way it is now, but more options and less need for massive slotting is always good!

I always love how people think of tweak as nerf automatically.

What if he means MoG is getting reworked?
What if Revive is being buffed, or even replaced?
What if Fast healing was buffed to make the lower levels easier?

Stats-wise, there is nothing wrong with Regen. But, when you look at the powers that everyone takes, don't you think the powers that no one takes might be changed so they're more worthwile to take, and you won't have to take power pools to become really effective?

Was I an idiot when doing the first respec? Well, it's been known to happen...

I don't think people are idiots for using up their Respec's. I'm just surprised at how people are using up a finite option so cavalierly when the game is going to evolve so much over the next year. Maybe I'm one of the few who plans on still playing my main ocassionally year from now.

(Wincing slightly as I imagine still playing one game for so long that isn't a Sid Meier strategy game. This is the first time I've stuck with an MMO for more than 6 months.)

[/ QUOTE ]
Actually, I'm just calling myself an idiot. I know I'm an idiot. Anyone who knows me knows I'm an idiot.

But I still got my last one, so when these new epic pools come out I'll be spending alot of time messing around with test builds on the Training Room finding a set of powers that works nicely for me.
