This happens to me when the mission door is a helicopter, like the ones in Faultline or RWZ (where you click the NPC standing by the chopper's loading ramp and they wave you on). It also happens on the Mercy Island Black Helicopter up by Ghost Widow's tower.

I've never had this happen on just a normal door (Except during some events where the lag is just ridiculous, like the Praetorian Surge on Freedom).

No, they made them "pushable." You still collide with them, but it'll push them out of the way, eventually. It doesn't work very well though, and still leads to annoying door blockage, it's just kinda easier to fix.

The only collision detection they recently removed, as far as I'm aware, was for Seeker Drones because Protector Bots had a ridiculous habit of summoning them and then getting stuck on their own drones.

I've only ever noticed this happening on the Boats in Cimerora, but good lord it's annoying. I'd definitely like to see this fixed.

I'd like to see more Accolades (that grant bonuses) in general. Currently all the passive Accolades are either +Max HP or +Max End, there's so much room for expansion there.

Fixed, so as not to imply sweeping generalizations.

I'd have to say that given the shear number of costume pieces available, and how many would need to be redone if they upgraded the models, that it's ALL "probably unrealistic" to ask for.

Only if we players of the male characters get equal dev time with the physics of the jigglyparts.

Animation time, for the most part, isn't part of the formula for determining the damage of a power. (In fact it wasn't originally considered in power balance AT ALL, which has always been part of Gravity's problem.)


Despite that this thread is in the Dominator forums, I'm not comparing Controller Lift to Dominator Lift. I specifically sited Mind Control's Levitate as it's a contemporary of Lift that even on Controllers deals the -proper- 1.32scale damage for it's 6second recharge. This is not a "Dom vs Controller" thing, it is simply an oddity within Gravity Control.

Yes they cost the same Endurance, 6.86per activation.

They cost the same end, have the same recharge, the same range, and the same effects with the same magnitudes and durations.

Edit: If fact they even use the same animation, so why there's a difference in activation time at all is all the more puzzling.

It's not even just about Doms vs Controllers though, Mind Control's Levitate is for all intents and purposes identical to Gravity's Lift, but even on Controllers deals 1.32scale damage.

Lift was changed for Dominators to deal the same damage as Levitate, there's no reason for it not to also deal the same damage as Levitate on Controllers. Lift got "fixed" for one AT, but left "broken" on another.

Gravity has a myriad of small problems as well as a few real big problems, that just add up to being a stinker of a set.

(please don't take this the wrong way, but)
I honestly think that the people who DON'T complain about Gravity are letting their personal feelings for a pet set get in the way of recognizing that it's poorly built and in desperate need of improvement.

I don't want Fire control 2.0. I also don't want to have to slog through 26 levels of absolute inferiority just to get a "main control" power almost every other set has by level 12 or 18, that's only even particularly useful 1/2 the time I need it and has the potential to be actively detrimental to my team if the stars aren't aligned just so.

Or you'll get the same amount of ******** and moaning, from the exact same people who were doing it before.

These are the same people you didn't want to group with before, why would you magically want to group with them now?

I believe it applies to everything except Temporal Manipulation. That one we get free.

Yes.

The Leadership toggles aren't PBAoE buffs, they're Team Buffs. Dispersion Bubble and the like are PBAoEs.

Nope. Same single target widgets that are on the tier1 and 2 attacks.

I find myself for the second time this week pointing out that this is not true.

Psionic is a HEAVILY resisted damage type, there may or may not be fewer mobs that specifically resist it, but when it is resisted it is done so by a HUGE amount.

I believe you'll find that on average Fire, Ice and possibly even Energy are all actually less resisted than Psi.

While I agree to a degree with this, Gravity has been lacking for SO LONG that it's ABOUT DAMNED TIME some other set was at the bottom for a bit.

Yes, improving Gravity just means there'd be a new "worst" control set, but such is the nature of MMOs. "Someone's gotta be at the bottom" would be/is an exceedingly poor excuse for not improving an under-performer.

I really wish people would stop saying this, because it's not true.

There was a thermal present for all three scenarios, it was just a different thermal for the first one vs the latter two. By "caster" she means "whichever thermal was with us and providing buffs at the time."



As for the /Thermal Mastermind:
MMs were designed as the "Tank" archetype for Redside, so they may have a higher threat modifier/multiplier/doohickey, I just don't recall what it is atm.

Having a team of MM, Stalker and Blaster it seems a safe bet that the Mastermind has the highest threat mod of the group, which is why it seems to be pulling ago, though why this would seem to end if thermal buffs were allowed to wear off is beyond me, given that heals and buffs aren't coded to generate any agro at all.

In the other situations, that entire reasoning wouldn't apply though, since it was a Thermal Corruptor.



OP, if this is an occurrence you can reliably reproduce or occurs regularly (where it can't simply be an issue of perception), definitely /bug report it. If not, it could just be a collection of unfortunate incidents summed up as "well that sucks."

I'd say all themes of Mastery sets could use a good bit of proliferation.

Where's Ice Mastery for Defenders? Stalkers could use one too once i21 hits.
Where's Electric Mastery for Controllers and Tankers and Brutes?
Where's my Earth Mastery for Doms?
And Psionic Mastery for Blasters and Masterminds?


People can't claim bias now about adding more APPs without adding more PPPs, so let's get to adding them.

I'm pretty sure she's saying the exact opposite. That in her experiences, the agro is being drawn to the thermal character itself as long as another character is shielded.

One of her examples earlier she said that as a scrapper with thermal shields even after attacking the mobs they would still agro to the Thermal, but after her shields wore off she was finally able to hold agro off the other player.



As to the OP, No. I have never noticed this behavior on any Thermal character I've ever made.

It was Dark Watcher who rezzed the Phalanx in the comics. In-game Lady Grey is a dark/dark defender so she could have a rez, but she's never to my knowledge had/used Howling Twilight in any media (which makes her a noob).

Then of course the Phalanx has their own pocket heelzor in Numina.

Well, Ice tankers already get 2 taunt auras (Icicles and Chilling Embrace) and IIRC Dark Tankers can actually have 3 (I could be wrong, but I believe both Oppressive Gloom and Cloak of Fear taunt.)

Admittedly none of Ice or Dark's secondary taunt auras deal damage (except to you in the case of the latter).
