Hang in there a bit longer Alien, they know (thread). Hopefully now that GR is starting to sail, some new attention will be made. Not sure if they have made a decision on the EAT powers though, no posts I can find on that.

And all for more P/APP's.

Yup, as expected, backpedaling. It wasn't me really...

But you considered it a success?

If the problem is remembering, then what can some lines in code do about that? You didn't bother to take into account that: 1) you can really miss - these are even con mobs with super powers too; 2) it doesn't happen that often unless you know, provide numbers; 3) it was pointed out to you that even in the comics, you can miss.

Um, no. They are separate. Nice try though. The first is to your statement about this being about the next game as in:
in case you are forgetting or what to backpedal on that.

And the second is to the OP:
You didn't say another game in OP. Since there is no other game, you mean this one or would you like to backpedal some more?

You brought it up...backpedaling now?

The expectation is that the OP would spend some time thinking about what they are going to post. You could have 1, 100, 1000, or 10000 posts, but you are still expected to put some effort in your posts like using the Search function. That way things like "viewpoints" as in:
will be taken into account. Especially when something like:
is posted. You want the devs to all hover around Posi's screen and go "WOW! WHAT AN AWESOME IDEA! Why didn't any of us in our collective gaming experience think of that?" Yet, you put no data (you claim to be aware of the numbers but won't post any specifics) or take into account other discussions (that whole viewpoint thingy again).
All you claim is some tank talking about missing - what? CoT? Malta? Carnies? Normal content or AE content?
Was he debuffed at the time?
Levels?
How is he slotted - TOs, DOs, SOs, HOs, IOs? 1 dam or 1 rech, 3dam/1acc/1rech/1end red, etc.? Was it unslotted brawl?

You give nothing. Yet you expect the devs to make some change to a game that doesn't even exist yet.

Yeah, you don't post a lot, but could you have like skipped one mission in the game and spent a few minutes looking up information and preparing for such a game-breaking modification in hitting mobs?

For me, my rule of thumb for posting is to not state things like "simple" or such unless I know. Post how you want, but you may get called on it.

I don't have 10's of thousands of posts either, and guess what - I play the game too! Are you sure you want to play that card? Because there are plenty with high post count and also play the game.

You don't have to keep up, just use that little search thingy on the forums or possibly spend a few minutes learning about it.

Then get some real data with the combat logs. Look at the number of mobs slaughtered by the team and add up the total number of misses. Then start a discussion on missing minions. So what we miss once in a while, imagine all the defeated mobs players generate a day across all servers.

Well, this would have been actually been helpful in the OP. You admit that this was never really an option and for some thing in a future game? That would have changed discussion greatly.

Mr_Right covers the point well. You are unprepared and your OP is unrefined. Actually looking at other threads will give you the other "viewpoints" like in:
You are ignoring all those other viewpoints. So why did you bother bring up discussion and viewpoints?

If you are not going to be bothered by actually reading previous threads, then don't expect to have wonderful and delightful discussions on a poorly constucted OP.

Plus you add things like "simple" or a "bit", without defining them. 1 day of work? 2 new zones of work? Just words it seems to you.

And, there is no resource issue, but do we need another vehicle travel power, world PvP/duel, AT respec, etc. thread?

Having a productive discussion requires some preparation and the right information. As pointed out, other threads have recently discussed this. You make no mention or attempt to add in points from past discussions, just another thread.

That way things like:
would have been answered.

Additionally, you post:
You know what the SCR is? Just how "simple" is it or define how much time and coding changing is for a "a bit"?
After 6+ years of this game, you want the fighting mechanics just overhauled like that?

Lol! I do the same thing. I refuse to repeat powersets, no matter how tempting. I have broken it once with my ice/cold corr in that I made "twin" sister that was good (cold/ice def) since I loved playing my ice/cold corr so much. I guess very soon I can have them on the same side, but which...

I am running out of powersets now too. So probably going to break the rule more often, especially if they ever port over dark blast to blasters.

Only other rule I make is that for all red side toons, I have to finish the Patron arcs and defeat LR. I don't know why, but I feel my toons are unfinished until I deliver that broken helment to LR at the end.

That's about it! :P

Voo can scare me just with text lol!

Nah, it was very early and this guy I came across. It got real creepy, really fast.

This is a good summary. I love corruptors and played a number of them since they are fun. I am about to ding my 5th to 50 (DP/traps) and she is a blast - no pun intended!

I look for synergies too. Corruptors can do incredible things.

You talk about frustrations, but that is not how I view them. For example, my son/kin corr solo'd all of her patron arcs until the final mission again LR (EB settings since she is not IO'd out). And I had LR down to a sliver of health before getting defeated (bah! I had to grab a friend real fast and finish him off. ). Anyhow, what I consider my weakest corruptor (dark/therm) can solo missions, just takes longer.

As for team supporting power sets, that is their balance. You don't get a whole out of them solo, but boost teams greatly.

I agree it would get annoying. And this would get overly complicated.

The example of healing NPCs - what are my kin and dark toons to do if all the mobs are defeated? They can heal right? Does the medicine pool count?

Or using electrical powers to recstart something - ranged, melee, armors? What about Mu Mastery?

I would like to see more environmental interactions, but more flexibility. Smashing a vault door with my SS toon is great, but my DB, ice, fire, psi, etc. toons should also be able too within reason.

Going with the others and saying you are not alone in this feeling. Early on I tried it in this game and in other games. Always negative experiences, especially the one time I got screamed at by this one guy for using a power at the wrong time in a mission. We still finished it and no one died and it was no big deal, but he wouldn't stop the complaining.

Anyhow, I hear the stories too of close friends and how much more fun it is to use Vent (or equivalent). More power to them, but I don't see myself ever using it in the future.

Yet another missing thread? Didn't we just a couple in the last couple of weeks?

I must have missed a patch or something since the game I play is ridiculously easy. You miss once in a while, it's all a perception thing - you remember missing that big attack on a lowly min or a box or whatever. You don't remember the countless mobs you defeated before that.
