Yup suck is so irrevocable that you were definitely being ripped off. You should sue.

Pay no attention to the several fixes that have been put out in the last couple patches, and the posts addressing costume issues that say more fixes are on the way. That's completely irrelevant to your point.

Where the proc shows up depends on the power you put it in. In your own attack, it shows up under your damage. In a Pet or Pseudo Pet power, it shows up somewhere else.

Brutes were the pity spot on our VEAT team.

It did indeed work like that for a while in Closed Beta. However if you stop to think about it, that makes it incredibly broken. It got change so that it checks every 10 seconds in a power like Freezing Rain.

If when you say "can be implemented" you mean "yes we can write it down on paper as a potential idea and think of a couple ways it might work" then yes you're right. However that's basically theoretical. It's not like it's an easy switch or something that can be readily applied to PvE, which is what some folks seem to be implying.

Well to be fair, they are pretty robust, if you're in a stage to see Bosses consistently. The variety of 30ish+ Longbow bosses is impressive. Thing is, unless you're on a team or soloing at high settings, you don't see them. I can think of at least 7 varieties of Longbow boss off the top of my head.

All I'm proposing here is to narrow the gap between Longbow bosses and Longbow shock troops, and eliminate the one egregious gap in having a single sole type of Lt. for the entire progression.

Some other quick ideas I thought of that are in this same vein:

Council Pistols- they disappear after level 4 or so. Revamp them with Dual Pistols, and insert them into the group as part of a counter to the return of the 5th Column. Council troops have been losing heavily in the street battles, and I'd like to see some tweaks to even the odds.

PPD Wall- I've made a bunch of Riot Police types as part of my AE arc Freaklympics, but I'd love to see a lot of Shield Defense troops added to the general run of PPD. Especially since the PPD seem to become less challenging once the average troopers are out of the mix. The SWAT guys are fun and challenging. The robots and kheldians are kinda boring after that.

They do when you're trying to portray your experiences as the general case, or even as commonplace. They're not. Neither are his. The truth is somewhere in the middle, and somewhere in the middle in this case leads to a state that really doesn't require any sort of change.

People are going to find a way to be snobs, if their nature is to be snobbish. It's who they are. There's no rule change you can implement that will fix human nature.

I think you really need to explain how the same thing isn't accomplished through the robust revamps of the Difficulty system that we've already been given. It hasn't been fully realized yet, but once the problems with TFs are fixed, then what you're looking for is provided, WITHOUT nerfing anyone.

Wish Granted

In the future, I recommend following the dev digest so you can keep up to speed on discussions like this.

I'm with Bill. We've been told the kind and amount of work it would take by the devs. We're just passing on that information to you.

It is. However when a power is activated and the "while flying" animation is played, they both call the same animation.

That's what I meant. Flying and Hover call the same animations.

Shield is a special case. BaB actually did hundreds of custom animations such that things would work with your shield out. That's part of why the set took so long.

It's also why there are very few working emotes with the shield out.

And flying mode animations so 1260
