My "simple observations" shows nothing wrong with KB.

Still waiting on that proof.

Apparently not since you went through Dechs' posts and said it was bad form. Yeah, right, dude.

Bad form not bothering to read other's opinion's and provide any meaningful response, dude...

LOL! Hyperbole much? Prove that statement. Oh wait, you can't.

Fixed!

"What's the rush?" is what I would ask myself. If you are planning on playing this toon quite a bit in the very near future and got the cash to burn, then burn it.

Otherwise, I would just lowball bid what you need and then sit on those bids. You may get stuff on other toons in the meantime and just email it to the brute. Plus you can't count on everyone in low levels. There will be players that either: ding 50 the next day GR comes out or just don't care about GR.

Just my 2 inf on those little bits.

First, I firmly believe that the devs balance the overall powers in sets with their secondary effects (-def, tohit debuff, -res, KB, KD, etc). If the devs wanted KD in the power, they would have put it in and balanced the rest of the power (dam/rech/end/acc/range) accordingly. They just don't put in some numbers for dam/end/etc., mix in a secondary effect, and call it a day.

And second, letting players decide would be chaos IMO. You would have people whining that players have powers slotted for KB when they should be slotted for KD because it is messing up their melee/AOEs/etc - we already see that now in game and on these boards. Introducing an option to allow for a switch to KD would be fuel to the fire in that debate. This way with no choice, you know what powers will do when you see them (for example, is that en/en blaster a KB blaster or KD blaster?). And it makes players learn about KB and how great it is. I could see new players just come into the game, get told to slot for KD, then freak out when some other player comes in an uses KB.

Thanks Spider!

I should have known something was up when he set up that Project Tuesday group and asked for a "deposit".

Me....

Honestly, I am fine with either of those. They all make good choices.

But if I can pick, it would be MM (so I won't have to stress the rest of the week with SHamster's die rolling), then corr (see later and fire/storm is pretty awesome), then brute (because KT is bringing his brute, and not because <45 - we won't be cranking the diff on this run, hehe).

Pretty much agree 100% with Rodion on these points (even with my emp/psy def ). Maybe add that some may potentially want different colors for different effects (sleep, immob, held, etc.) and make it harder to read. As well as frequency like those KoA darts that sleep for like 0.1 sec (I use to hate so much the old days and retoggling like every 15 sec when one of those darts hit).

As to the HP bar suggestion, I have no opinion if it should get added. Like mentioned above, I am proactive and watch the battle mostly, so probably never use it - anyways, I am too old to learn new tricks after playing 6 years with my emp def ! If anything, it would probably mess up me seeing the HP's in case someone needs healing.

You're missing the point that a number of us don't see any problems with the servers. Maybe people got tired of CC's? Or are chilling in PD rather now? AP isn't the game since most of the level restrictions have been lifted for zones and there is SSK. Add on that we can set our own diff to team-like levels, the need to team on various things is reduced some.

There are tools available. Like Grey Pilgrim pointed out earlier, there is a sticky for Victory. We tell people about the globals (like when I am on a PUG and see new players). I would agree with people that a better communication of the globals should be made, like in the tutorial or a new contact in starter zones that you can meet and read about Globals.

Stuff is going on all the time.

Oh, I would agree with that too. It is like giving the keys to a top of the line Indy race car to some one who knows how to drive the family sedan.

I think DrMike2000 has a good point in that what more could someone add to a build - HP, def, res, etc. - that could make such a difference?
And if you could make a difference, what would you do with it - solo a TF or AV, defeat a GM - that hasn't been done already?
I won't exclude the possibility that there might be some really awesome thing a player could come up with for a build, but if it so incredible, how is it staying so secret for so long?

Again, if players want to keep their builds to themselves, I respec that. But, I see more often players coming to the forums and posting builds, so eventually their build maybe discovered and revealed, even if they don't admit it.

Just be done by 930!

Bah! I got you and SHamster confused and thought you replied. Then I saw you didn't. So to avoid all the drama of conscripting you for Friday, I had to edit my post.

I am only pointing out if we had a team wipe, getting back in the mission, especially with these crazy zone load times, could make getting in painful.

Well, the reason I thought of this is that after we had the death, Tal went and got his temp right by Reich and then proceeded to use it to clear out the remaining mobs.

Then you have some interesting interpretations.

Oh well, GLHF. /unsigned to your ideas.

Asking to search before posting so people can actually discuss ideas? As rude as yours apparently.
