    Well I see it as this. Most of the players who like KB or can deal with it are far less vocal than the people who hate it. I think that's normally always the case. For Example the change with Null the Gull being able to turn off the graphics of certain powers. I don't think that many players cared or wanted that feature but the small group of players who did loudly voiced their opinion. This may not be the best example but I think you understand what I'm trying to say.

    I know I try to bring up the possibility of an Ice/Ice Brute (or Scrapper) up any chance I can get but I doubt that Ice/Ice is wanted or requested anywhere near as much as a Claws Brute was.

    Not Really Arcanaville. I have an Energy/Energy Blaster lvl 37, Storm/Dark lvl 50, Energy/Kin Corr (Deleted) and an Illusion/Storm lvl 50 that I play on the occasion. I only solo with these toons since I really dislike KB most of the time. I Love Energy Blast, Illusion and Storm though...I just wish there was a way I could shut off the KB at times...especially on teams! I even Take Frag Grenade, Explosive Arrow and Buckshot since those 3 powers aren't that bad compared to other KB powers. (*Cough* Old Wormhole.)

    I even tried to level a PB...keyword tried lol.

    Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that I'm part of the vast coh gamer majority BUT I do know quite a few players who really want to play certain sets but shy away from it because they are not a fan of KB.

    I personally wouldn't mind playes having the option of a few powers losing their mitigation of KB in favor of KD because my playstyle seems almost incapable of adapting to the KB method of playing. I don't want everyone else to sway to my selfish wants or needs. I just would just like the option between the two and I don't mind one bit being penalized heavily for it.

    That's why I'm hoping for Cross Server Teaming so I can use other Servers lol.

    In seriousness, it's not a big deal. If you're on a team where someone is getting disgruntled because your powers knock enemies away and OH GOD THEY HAVE TO RUN AN EXTRA 10 FEET OR OH NO MY AOE ATTACK DOESN'T HIT HIM AND MY PERFORMANCE IS SUFFERING BY 3.87% OUR TEAM IS DOOOOOOMED!!! then you should probably not team with that person. If you are that person, well congrats, there will be ever so slightly less knockback in your life. There aren't going to be security checkpoints set up at every mission door with the Knockback Protection Agency standing outside verifying that you have a single enhancement that works in a single power either way, so it matters very little.
    I think it's because almost everyone remembers their one or multiple bad experiences with a KB heavy person...compared to their good experiences with a person that used it wisely. We all know that humans tend to only remember and dwell on the bad.

    I complimented a player this week because she was amazing...she REALLY knew how to use her Gravity/Kin well! Reckless KB players used to anger me but I learned how to deal...*run* lol. Several times I would run from a mob until the team or KB person had things under control and when I'm asked why I'm not participating I just tell them and they understand.

    An example of why I would like a -KB enhancement/Global -KB is the Storm set. I personally cannot deal with trying to blast Foes When my Tornado, Hurricane and Lightning Storm is pushing them everywhere. It's one reason why I only play Controller Stormies. Storm can be great with certain combos though like a Beam/Storm Corr but I find myself clawing at my face because I want to use LS and Tornado ALL the time...not just *sometimes*

    Sorry Tangent

    That would make sense...but I hate getting my hopes up lol. Water Assault would be a nice surprise and it would make up for that little special thing we were supposed to get lol.

    Ah ok. Yeah I don't see that happening. It would be bad, Bad, SO BAD if the Devs changed all the powers to KD. It would cause some people to quit and many others to take a break from COH for a while like I did when AE hit.

    Now having the choice of making all of your KB powers KD instead I can see but this leaves you at the mercy of other players. Many who would rather you not use your Kb powers at all...but this brings up several things to think about.

    1. A Jerk is a Jerk. People will kick you without warning for SO many reasons your AT, Level, Play-style, If you're new to the game or to this mission, Your build, KB ect. If you try to discuss things with the leader and he continues to be a jerk move on.

    2. A Decent Majority of the people who take their KB powers actually know what they are doing so they're not going to get kicked in the first place. On most occasions if the leader has an issue with an overzealous KBer on the team or whatnot he will bring it up or someone on the team will.

    I repeat, the Devs will not change all KB powers to KD I think we all know that but it is healthy to discuss the worse case scenario even if it's unrealistic that the Devs would take that action.

    I've heard Rumors that Synapse and Arbiter Hawk are going to Nerf Regen First though.

    Yeah it was amazing...heck I need to run those mishes again

    Haha no worries I will be deleting plenty of toons for a reroll once I get a feel for the set.

    Oh yeah, I've been keeping a close eye on it since October or something? IT was originally suppose to be out by fall then it was pushed back to X-mas then Feb then Spring...it finally came out on the 14th.

    You should add it on Facebook.

    Yesh! In fact I hope that the set looks a lot like a Waterbender Fighting. I think it would look cool and also it's not like we're going to ever get Water Melee lol.

    Your source must of been a little angry because they kept pushing it back. Here's a link to where you can see all of the full episodes for free and it's legal!!!

  11. The pets can die as well! I remember the shock I had on my face when I saw PA being Taken out during a LAM run...one can never forget...
  12. What are discussing again? The fact that there shouldn't be a way to turn KB into KD? Or the impact this IO will have on the game in general? Or the Slippery slope or the possible future of the Devs scrapping Kb? All of the above?
  13. There also needs to be a way to have this Global ins all powers Damage or not...If so there's going to be a lot of new toons cooking in my mids cauldron.

    Claws
    Kinetic Melee
    Peacebringer
    Storm Defender/Corr
    Bonfire
    Repel from Kinetics would be worth taking

    ect!
  14. Tis a shame that id doesn't work wit Repel...I would slot it in Hurricane...but hurricane doesn't deal dmg anyway so it's moot point.

    Gurl you crazy get outta here! *mind explodes* Time to look this up AGH!!!!

    Alttitis Disease

    I think mids makes alt-itis ever worse. I think of an awesome combo, I make up an epic build, I make the toon, finally get him to 50 and then I get to lazy to IO him out or get him to "53" lol.
  17. I would love a slight change to Ice Melee to make it more...well it needs to make more sense. I still would take a direct port though.

    Alttitis Disease

    God...I'm just as bad as Memphis Bill...I have over 25 lvl 50's LOL. Hilariously I still have yet to level a Scrapper but I will once I23 hits. Masterminds are painful for me as well but I have a lvl 50 Merc/Poison that is collecting Dust on a dead server.
  19. I can't play Radiation Emission for the life of me so I'm going to say 8 Fire/Time or 8 Plant/Time.

    Dark rad would be amazing as well but yet again I can't play Rad! URGH! I've tried so hard!

    8 Ice/Rad or 8 Ice/Time Corrs would be fun as well. No issues with endurance and everyone can just wait there turn to use Blizzard.

    Or the Geo Driver! lol Are those things even on the road anymore? I leveled a Scrapper and a Stalker and let me tell you this...spines on Stalkers back then was PAINFUL lol. There has been a lot of changes to the Stalker AT of course but I guess I couldn't wait that long. After I realized that most mobs shrugged off Throw Spines I rage quit and deleted the toon lol.

    I normally don't do that but I was just done. You can imagine how long it took to get to 32 back then a Stalker that no one likes teaming with lol.
  21. Spines needs a little love first I think that set is down right painful to level.

    Oh wow...that would be so awesome! -def and fire damage, -res and cold damage

    That would be cool but I'm a mage at heart so I want Water, wind and earth first! :P

    I've been watching a lot of Avatar Korra as of late...I might make a water bender toon.

    I agree. I believed the crap a few years ago until I started playing Blue side and I discovered Fire and Ill and then Plant when it was ported to Blueside. The Illusion would be OP on Doms argument now is a complete joke.
