I'd love to have this option. Especially if you can key ambushes off it.

A Solo player might not defeat 100 enemies in the mission and, thusly, never complete the 'side objective' of beat 100. But for a powerful team of heroes 100 is a paltry number, and the ambush would spawn to make things a bit more difficult!

Assuming you can make it a non-required mission objective and key events to it...

No one should power level. Ever. Period. Why cheat yourself of the feeling of satisfaction of EARNING your level 50 toon? I honestly can't understand why anyone would want to cheat themselves.

Power leveling? Farming? Why not just pay the folks who'll play your character for you?

Your ******ity just irritates me. Hows about you pay everyones subscription fee then you can sit there and tell us what to do.

If not... ***U.

I have "earned" 18 level 50s.
I have "PL" 6 level 50s.

Why do you **'n care how I get to lvl 50?

[/ QUOTE ]

(heaves heavy sigh) Wow, get defensive much? Honestly, I couldn't care less what you do with your toons or how you play the game. I just don't do it myself because seems like you are giving yourself the short end of the stick with power leveling. Not that it matters but I'd rather get inside of my character and BUILD them even if it takes a lot of time. I've got a few that I really enjoy playing because I've come to know them. Bringing a character up to 50 over a few weeks or even months gives me a sense of satisfaction worth $15 bucks a month.

So do what you want with you 800 level 50 characters, My toons are like old comfortable slippers. And they're all my favorites.

Psssssssssssst! Unless you're a Newbie, P_P (which I presume you aren't) then you're not the issue at hand.

It's also very difficult to hold any kind of discussion with a passive aggressive person who seems to be suffering from asperger's syndrome.

I said it earlier. I'll say it again. Newbies shouldn't PL beyond 3-10 levels. They cheat themselves out of content, practice, and tactics. Sure. This game may be 'Easy' to you or anyone else. But each of us is a unique snowflake who's personal abilities and experience will vary.

So sure. SOME Newbs might be able to run a Level 50 character without an issue. Others will be confused by all the power choices, mis-slot everything, and try to make a tanker that is Sup3rm4n. Complete with Superspeed, Super Jump, Flight, and Laser vision.

3-10 levels CAN be okay, in my opinion. But Newblets shouldn't PL more than that.

Yes! This -is- a fantastic idea.

Sad thing is I think the OP made the comment and stealth edit deliberately. I'm guessing he wanted someone to petition him, and then did the stealth edit hoping it would look like he was being picked on. He just didn't count on being thwarted by getting quoted.

-Rach~

After looking through your reasoning, Umbral, I find you're almost totally correct.

However we both disagree on a fundamental level what is and isn't 'worth' putting into the game. I happen to love 3 slotting swift, hurdle, quickness and other inherent or automatic movement powers. I -love- running about the battlefied quickly. And I'd love a powerset that caters to that. Even a power pool.

So again. I think it's a fundamental difference in our concepts of fun and we should just end our discourse at this point and let the thread die.

WQOW. What a class act. I took you off ignore for less than a minute and you immediately attacked someone's child.

You're done. I hope the true Forum Gods (I.E. Moderators) ban you quickly. So that I don't see any more of your bile-filled vitriol smeared across the screen like monkey feces.

You're back on ignore. And this time you're not coming off.

-Rachel-

(For those wondering exactly what he said I've quoted it. So when he changes it we'll still have a copy of this little gem.)

*Edit* WOW! He managed to edit it in the time it took me to write this post. Class Act!

Could have it record the damage enemies are dealing to you. Or, more specifically, remove the 'dead' tag at 0hp while running the mission on Unkillable.

That way you can see exactly when you would die, even if you don't.

Except that after PLing there's -nothing- to do.

How many times have you seen people on the forums complain about the lack of 'end Game' content? Exacerbate this with a lack of knowledge of the game itself and you've got a Newblet who really doesn't feel there's a point to the game.

If you're talking about PLing 3-10 levels then... I don't -really- care if newbs do it. If you're talking 12+ levels then yeah. They should NOT powerlevel.

-Rachel-

[/ QUOTE ]

3-10 levels would be the middle ground of 'No PLing' and 'PL everything!' wouldn't it?

Again. Baseless Accusations and pointless negativity from Nethergoat. How shocking.

-Rachel-

Nah. Full on choice at the start of the mission. You simply can't change back and forth.

Definitely make it stop all XP, Inf, and Mish bades (even the test badges) and tickets shouldn't be dropping from test missions, so you should /bug that one...

-Rachel-

No more than she has in the 3 years she's been registered? About 1/3 of her total count in 1/3 as long.

I think it's (Days registered/Post Count) X How often someone disagrees with her

In which case my total post count would be somewhere around... Infinite. I just can't help but disagree with her. =-3

I'm, like, the Anti-Conforming-Non-Conformist, I think. Which means I'm a well adjusted member of society... Should I change my forum name to Good_Influence? =-3

-Rachel-

You're automatically wrong, Basilisk. And you will forever be wrong until you conform to the non-conformity of Bad_Influence.

Don't be Sheep, people! Follow the true way of bad haircuts, black clothing, and acidic humor! That's the only way you can break out of the force conformity of our society: By conforming to the 'anti-society' which is just as cliqueish if not more so than the one you're already in!!!

-Rachel-

I find it funny that I'm -basically- Forum Cartel, since I agree with a lot of the Cartel members. Meanwhile I don't have 1/3 of the posts B_I does.

And while it might not be markedly different to you, Umbral, the single pool doing what would otherwise require 2 (or more) pools keeps me from having to -take- 2 pools, thus locking out other pools I might want and costing me more powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

And that's pretty much the only reason to put it in game, which isn't a very good reason at all.

[/ QUOTE ]

In other words concept and customization should be set aside due to time constraints? What, exactly, is the reason -not- to put it in the game? Because you -can- have something similar?

Well shoot! Why'd villains get Pain Domination if they already had Thermal? It's the only other Non-Empathy set in the game with an AoE and a Single target heal. Just pick up the Medicine pool and you're golden, right?

Why'd we get Willpower? It's functionally similar to both Regen and Invulnerability. Just Pick up Health And Stamina on an Invuln!

Katana? It's just Broadsword with different animations. Go ahead and cut it!

Dual Blades? We've already got 2 sword sets in the game! Why Bother?

Just because you can 'equate' powers doesn't mean they are adequate.

A) It's a new power pool, which will draw attention, might force some respecs, and could wind up forcing alt-rolling. Which in turn means more time spent going from 1-50 and a net gain in monthly fees.

B) Not everyone WANTS to take Hasten or a metric ton of Sets. So your statement of 'Most Players' might or might not be true. Considering how few people use the market or forums (in relation to the overall population of the game) I'm leaning towards false.

C) It offers players an alternative to taking 2-3 different sets. Not a shining alternative, no, but an alternative which takes parts of each (Speed, Jumping, and Fitness)

D) It allows concept characters a different method of advancement based on player-designed restrictions. This is a Role Playing Game, so if a person wants to have an acrobatic martial artist who is merely at the peak of human perfection he no longer requires glowing fists of fire.

E) Consider the fact that short-recharge powers would basically recharge instantly on a 5 second 1000% recharge. It's been established that any 25 second or less power will recharge before the 5 seconds are up. So people could (Whether using Hasten and a ton of Set bonuses or not) could have most of their powers suddenly refresh to instantly usable, even if their recharge rate has been floored by slow-effects.

So there's 5 different reasons for it to go into the game. Is that enough reasons For puting it in the game, yet? I'm sure I could think up more.

-Rachel-

=-(

Robin probably has the fitness pool, all things considered. Same with Batman. However an Acrobatic set could have flashy moves and other awesomeness.

Power Pools should not be set up specifically for origins, no. However a natural human character cannot superjump, fly, teleport, or use superspeed without picking up outside equipment or casting a spell (which are outside of the origin of the specific character in question)

Should that character be limited solely to sprint/swift/hurdle? Would it make the game at all better to add a new set in?

Personally I say yes, it would make the game better to have a new 'travel power' pool.

And 5 Seconds at 400% recharge drops a 25 second recharge power (KO Blow) down to a what recharge? 2, 3 seconds? I know a 48% recharge drops the recharge on KO Blow from 25 down to 16.89....

Though you -are- correct on the Force Feedback recharge. Don't know why I thought it was 1,000%

And yes. 2 other pools can admirably handle exactly what it does. However popping Superspeed and Superjump both -far- outdo Swift and Hurdle. So should we get rid of the Health pool? Or remove those two powers from the Health pool?

And while it might not be markedly different to you, Umbral, the single pool doing what would otherwise require 2 (or more) pools keeps me from having to -take- 2 pools, thus locking out other pools I might want and costing me more powers.
