Nice one.
Im not registered on the Titan Network, so i'll just post this here, but it seems that Sleet in Dominator's APP has the wrong IO sets associated with it, allowing Single Target Ranged Sets instead of, presumuably Targeted AoE. -
Actually... Stone Spears. I had a completely different thought of what this would look like when Earth Assault came out, and was dissapointed with what we got. I imaged more of a quickened propel animation, with 3 small spears coming out of the ground and flying to the target.
Also, while im on Earth Assault, Hurl Boulder should have an alternative, either a propel-esque one, or flinging the 'Mallet' thats used for the melee attacks. -
Less intensive elemental armours.
this is especially prominant if I look at dominators epics come i18. I want defence armours, I have 2 choices, one gives me a mace weapon with it's other chocies, which may not fit with my concept, but can possibly be worked around.
And one gives me nice big chunks of ice messing up my costume. Something more subtle, or has been suggeted, an initial big "embracing the element" style activation animation leaving a minimal after animation would be ideal.
Actually, alternative animations for everything would rock pretty much if it was something you could do eventually, but time is limited isnt it.
I do agree with the previously made suggestions of moving psi powers away from the head emination has an alternative, and would like to suggest alternative sonic animations, possibly a combination of claps. -
type /respec in game, if its one youve been given, it will instantly enter the respec screen, if its an earned one (Vet, trial etc etc) it will direct you to the appropriate NPC.
You can back out of the respec screen, so theres no loss of your freespec. -
very nice,
noticed one slight error, your Ice Mastery section references using RoF. But definately a good intro into an AT i hope to get more into with GR. -
I've always thought they missed a trick in not providing 8 or so recipes per set, to give us more choice in aiming for set bonus'
-
Depends what you want to slot it with as far as set bonus goes.
Obliteration 5 slotted is (relatively) cheap, and offers good recharge. 6 slotted is good defence values for melee/smash/ethal.
While Sciroccos dervish is good for AoE defence.
and if you can 5 slot a purple set and want the recharge, Armageddon will give 10% recharge.
imo, all offer good native enhancement values.
in response to force feedback, if you can afford the slot, go for it should proc fairly often on decent size mobs. -
i've had some bad crashes like this thats required a shut down of the computer.

While theres "no right or wrong" way to play your character. When you are /Emp The Medicine Pool is the wrong way, theres not a power in there that you can't do better with your secondary anyway.
If you team alot Fortitude is nice, if your solo grab either hasten or start (or finish) on the hasten Pool. Empathy on defenders has the greatest beneift from Vigilance's Enudrance discount, since its so reactive. You dont have that pleasure, so recovery is definately gonna be helpful, but the recharge from hasten will help decrease the downtime of you PA. -
I would say it depends.
The danger is, if your tank doesnt know its going on, and decides to taunt a far ff group and targets it, you could just throw a fireball in there before he hits taunt.
That being said it does work as a good calling target when your taking on multiple big enemies at once, but again, your team may wish to take out the others, while the tank targets the one least desirable to break free of his agro.
Certainly my controllers will rarely target through the tank, i fail to see the point in holding something about to get smashed when I can concentrate on the enemies around the outside of the group, or when using AoE stuff, i just go mental and let it rip anyway. -
Given that at the weekend this IGN article said that there was only 2 new sets, one was Necromancy, and was very poorly edited, and also mentioned "neutral" as a point on the Going Rogue slider (which we know to be Villain, Rogue, Vigilant and Hero) I would take all the info it presents to be highly questionable.

Quote:If you run a service every day of the year, you should have people to handle problems that might arise every day of the year.
Also, your point about banks isn't really too valid. You can call Wellsfargo(one example) right now and talk to somebody. In fact, you can do that everyday of the year.
Could you call them at the weekend and ask for Mortgage Specialist (im assuming Wellsfargo is a bank since thats where this line has gone too) or a Loans Specialist, or could you just talk to someone and tell them your card has been stolen?
If we really wanna take this down a full analogy, hospitals, in general (and im talking about the bigger A&E hospitals, not just community hospitals that may close out of hours. But these are palces where lives depend on them being run 24hrs a day, 365 days a year. But even then, its only the essential stuff thats open out of hours.
6pm on a Friday afternoon is pretty much the same as 3 a.m on a Sunday morning so far as wanting to speak to somebody in Medico-Legal, it aint gonna happen. Sure you have a heart attack, you'll be seen, but need to urgently get your hands on some important stuff thats in filing, then good luck. -
Electric Melee provides you with 2 PBAoEs (Lightning Rod and Thunderstrike)
1 pseudo-AoE in Chain induction.
1 Cone
Adding in /Shield provides another PBAoE.
And Epics can get you a Targeted AoE. -
While we are dsicussing tp, is it affected by Boost Range? that would be interesting.

Quote:Only way I could ever see something like this working would be if you could only do it once per char, and then only have one of these "Super respecs" available once a year, per ACCOUNT.
Also, you wouldn't be able to change Archetypes, only powersets.
And you'd lose ALL your enhancements and inf/imf
And start out as a level 1
I would only use this one time; to switch my main, Bunny Slippers, from an AR/Dev Blaster to a Dual Pistols/anything other then Dev Blaster.
An inteligent player would transfer all the losses to alts before performing such a task, negating the loss there, so that wouldnt be such a big deal.
It would be easier/better to have all the one off log-in badges be account wide and costume unlocks too.
TBH, I dont think if you get a MoSTF badge as a (example) Emp/Elec defender, that if you did a super-back-to-level-one-but-keep-your-badges-respec and became a Storm/Sonic defender, that you have any right to keep that badge. -
just checked them out, not so sold on the MA changes, but i thought that was a pretty fun set.
However SS is pretty cool on some of the changed ones, may have to make something with SS now...but what -
the amount of longbow that would show up and punish us would be immense. then we could beat them down.
(were you planning on doing this with 50s, or new guys?)
Ive got less than a week left before going away for 3 weeks, so if its new guys, i probably wouldnt be able to join in the fun. -
Those were the only places it would work. atleast read the OP, it wouldn't exemplar, and it was not as desirable a feature as it was meant to be. This was supposed t propel our 50s to new heights of power, and it seemingly did little to that effect.
-
If I have a level 50 farmer, I can make a pact with any character and then farm away to my hearts content, knowing that the character i'm pacted with is being power leveled like a steamboat.
This really rocks for those unable to duaol box, or have 2 machines. But it also opens up the wonderful EULA breaking concept of selling powerleveling services. And it would be so much safer as nobody would have to share account details.
Also "leveling pact" its a bit immersion breaking if two people no longer agree to level together, but instead it becomes a "powerleveling pact" or something.
These are just a few ideas why this isnt such a good idea. -
Quote:However, with CO's Teleport it sounds as if you might as well be using Flight (I have not actually used the power in CO).
As to how the movement is presented...yes. Think of it as a phase shifted flight moving very quickly. So the movement between 2 areas is not instant. And it does take some justification to see this as 'teleport' but its the justification im willing to make for what is, imo functionally, much better than what we have here. -
Its bad to assume that all things are equal...because the numbers controllers output are lower, because their buff/debuff modifiers are lower than a defenders values.
The secondary comes into affect as well /sonic and /rad and maybe /dark on a defender all have a good degree of Force Manipulation. While blasting away may be lower damage than you blaster friend that has the same primary as your defender secondary. the Debuff numbers are bigger (read Better).
All of a controller (usually) Force Manipulation (in so far as damage outputted) comes form their secondary (Earth Control is exempt form this as its a -def heavy thing) but generally speaking.
Ill has some fun utility letting your take over as tank if needs be for a while (or perma if you can afford it).
I used to think trollers > Defender, until i saw the defence outputs a FF (one was one of my first characters, but before i was into the game maths/knew about the softcap) or Ice can reach and their overall debuff values, and started considering each character in terms of force manipulation individually, rather than as their AT as a whole. -
IMO, how Teleport worked in Beta on Champions Online was the best possible outcome for teleporting.
You 'phased out' and moved freely very quickly, untargetable. You could elect to drop out of your teleport, or dropped out after a certain time.
Teleport for me, is one of the worst (if not the worst) "ok its time to run away powers, because by its very nature you cant break LOS on most enemies that have you without some lucky positoning in one unbearably long activation time and locked movement time.
I would be willing to sacrifice some of the relative cross zonal safety that TP provides, for better / updated concept of the power. -
I will not be back in the UK at this time, adn therefore find this unacceptable.
You will have to break up with your girlfriend i'm afraid.
