Yes it does, it gives them ammo to say "You can turn it off so do so!", then kick them from the team. I see an en/en blast, I know he has KB. Or new players will come and they will be told some far out line that "KB is not popular so you better not use it." and go on believing that KB is a problem since that is how they have played since they started.

This on/off business will have more issues then what it solves.

I didn't think any of the posts were that bad or Bill being very rude. Eh...

Anyhow, I actually like your ideas better for additions to the power pools also and that they have higher requirements to unlock. For the TP one, is that like a way point? So if we are in a zone and click on our map to the mission marker for example, we could TP to it? (Assuming balanced on end/rech/etc.)

From the global channels I am in (Victory Forum/Victory Badges/Victory Badges 2009), it was both red and blue, and in GV/PI. I was on my toon who was 34 and joined a 50 ToT in PI. But I did see other Banner events in other zones and people forming teams as needed.

So this is extending to temps now?

Are you saying that Stealth should have a crit chance then? Even more confusing.


Inspirations are pretty plentiful, plus you can combine inspirations to make more. That is a lot of picks for powers to be useful.


The medicine pool powers are interuptable. That would not be the best if someone is about to die and you keep getting interupted. Plus what happens if someone hits a green inspiration. You end up still taking 50% damage? Now you could die. Again, a lot to give up here.

Sticking with Bill about people complaining about SB. Now they would have something, now for 2 minutes.

But it would be a pool power, just how much debuffing would it be to be effective? A lot to give up for this selection for a small return.

The travel powers seem pretty balanced for what they do. With all the ways to increase defense, not seeing how they would help. All comes back to the return for taking these powers. If you provided numbers, it would help comparing if they are balanced since a couple were mentioned as auto's.

Combat TP sounds fun, but if the hover/animation is the same, could be very annoying. Plus some powers require to be on the ground, so that would be a few seconds where it could be further annoying.

Not sure where else they would fit if not Tier 4's, since missing a few numbers on some.

Just what is not useful? Every power may not be used in every situation, but they are still useful.

And makes more problems than it is worth. You would have people complaining for players to turn off their KB and they won't.

You would STILL have posts about players that don't want KB and want it removed so that they don't run into players that won't turn off their KB.

And KD is overpowered in that it doesn't move the mobs out of the way of attacks. So now you have a mob control in place and can still use AOE damage without moving. Plus players could possibly never learn how to use KB correctly because they were told to turn it off when they started either the game or a new toon with KB powers for the first time.

Always glad to know the devs failed to make that -KB enhancement they mentioned. Hope to never see that in the game.

Isn't Regen "adjusted" every issue?

Just my additional 2 inf.

I disagree on the bad design. I view it as good design becuase the devs have to build a game around what is their vision/expectation of the ATs. Yes, at lvl41, you get APP/PPP or that you have to give up a power slot to take boxing, etc. But the devs can take that into consideration when designing mobs and content to keep us playing.

Giving players even more freedom/flexibility creates a larger matrix to cover for making things still challenging to us. Getting rid of boxing so we can pick up some more powerful (another attack from pri/sec) makes us overcome their obstacles more easily. So tougher mobs/content, which may or may not equal more fun. Like a suggestion to bring APP/PPP's into the 30's. Well, I guess those mobs we fight will get brought down too (I prefer not to fight Malta in the 30's although I know Carnies are in the 30's for redside) or should they toughen the mobs in the 30's since we will have APP/PPP's that cover the holes in our ATs? Egads, I really don't want to see the earth CoT casters made any tougher.

It is interesting Fitness is changing. It makes me wonder what new challenges are coming. Especially after going through Gold-side. Those extra powers are going to be more valuable.

If mentioned elsewhere, I am missing where it was said (or if in another thread). Didn't mean to repeat and was just throwing out options for both sides.

But for other builds as an option, this would still force your primary build to have things like hide. So you get 10 lvls of experience with the T1 and then have a better (not the best maybe) opinion if you still want it or not. Changing builds at 10 shouldn't be much of a hassle for slotting either. And getting to 10 isn't a very long trip to make IME.

Of course, there are older toons that may want to change builds and have multiple IOs sets they want to keep, but that is another thread.

Oh, I agree and thanks for clarifying what I meant . That last bit about the Omega level are the rumors I was thinking of where there would be an incarnate power to have more slots. Not that the incarnates are more slots.

Pretty much sums it up. The system works as-is after 6+ years unless the OP has some numbers to back up his suggestion. Players can solo GMs, AVs, TFs (Masters even). We will get incarnate slots soon.
