Ridiculously boring. The Goliath War Walkers are generating "Are we there yet?" comments reminiscent of the Hamidon raids of yore.

F22Major's Guide to Power Boost is an excellent source of information on Power Boost (and similar powers).

I'm not a fan of the darker stories or settings in CoV, but I had to take my Cold/Sonic to the Rogue Isles to pick up Power Boost earlier this week. There's a new Rogue mission that has you educate Sky Dragon's new sidekick, Flamesprout, on the virtues of a secret identity by sending some Malta agents after his family.

The premise of the mission itself was pretty funny to begin with, but the dialogue from the half-wit sidekick had me rolling on the floor. "Grandma?! NOOOO!"

I miss having five Cents in Golden Dragonfly.

Sorry to hear about the ordeal, glad you're safe.

Our team was at the plaza first, and I don't remember seeing anyone clicking the other set of doors before we started working them. If that wasn't clear last night, my bad.

Re: kill-stealing, if I'm following a ToT team in King's Row and fireballing their tricks, that's classless. No argument there. What I actually see happening in-game seems like something that benefits everyone by creating a fun quasi-competition that has both teams racing to defeat trick spawns. It's less poaching and more Zombie/Rikti invasion-y, with nothing malicious about it.

Even in your example with a lowbie clicking your doors, how is that necessarily a bad thing? They're just helping you get your defeat X badges sooner, right?

With the lowering of door cool downs and my personal reinvestment in the PvE game, I've moved out of the arena to join open street ToT teams for the first time in a couple years. It's been an enjoyable experience, and outside of someone complaining about me dropping 53s on his lv40-something team (fear not, I cleared them), I haven't heard anyone complain about door possession other than you, Ham.

Case in point, last night our team was the only one at the Curry Cove marker for a time, and some of us eventually started using utilizing doors on both sides of the plaza. Before long another team moved into over to our weaker side, and you asked your team to stay on the side we started on because "that was their door."

What made it their door and not ours? Couldn't you make the case that our team had dibs on both sets of doors and the other team had showed poor form in moving into our spot? Or can a team not arbitrarily own more than one set of doors at a time?

I'm not trying to play devil's advocate here, I'm geniuinely curious about this. I don't feel anyone was in the wrong last night - you know as much from our conversation. (And unless you were privy to some /tells I wasn't, I wasn't hearing any complaints about what we were doing.)

Another vanity power pack? How hard would it be to throw in a "Teleport to Icon/Facemaker" power with a two-hour timer?

Or since this is an origin-themed pack, how about a teleport-to-an-origin-store power?

Kin/Sonic

Provoke, Intimidate, and Invoke Panic on everyone.

X-Ray Beam's animation is no worse than any other Tier 2 attack. Electron Haze's 25% chance of knockback and shallow cone are not particularly compelling reasons to skip it, especially when you have access to Boost Range. Power Boost will help you lock down troublesome mobs or bosses with your single-targets stuns.

Run with that. It's a blaster, not rocket science.

Many of us used Kheld forms to cancel animation times before the devs "fixed" Khelds a few issues ago, but that trick didn't affect cooldown.

I'm in with a Rad/Kin/Cold, just use me to plug a hole. Could also switch to damage if we have an abundance of support.

Thanks for doing this at a reasonable time.

Same, and I just purchased new slots tonight. Seems like the store is down at the moment.
