Controllers, Dominators and Defenders I don't really 'Get'.
The exceptions so far have been my Empath/Psi fender who has and always will be fun to play, and the Sonics/Beam Rifle gal I'm (re)-rolling when I21 hits, because the combination is painful and awesome.
Controllers just...eh. It's like the entire Kheldian Inherent applied to every power combo; I NEED teams to not blow wind.
Dominators....I know how awesome they can be. My friend has an Ice/Fire one that is...ohgodtherats. Stuff just melts. He and a friends Tank duo'd a LGTF. Just don't fit for me though.
Corruptors, too. I really regret making one of my characters AR/Pain. I love the character, love the costume (female ex-Nemesis soldier, Roman armour ftw) and...I hate, hate, HATE playing her, because the combo is so utterly weak and failcake. It has none of the strengths of my Empath defender, and none of the damage output either.
AR as a whole I have a love/hate relationship with. It either works and stuff falls over in droves...or it doesn't, and I get splatted repeatedly.
Brutes too. My SS/WP either works or doesn't. I do kinda prefer my Axe/Invul Minotaur, who tends to make a choppy mess of stuff in short order. I have no idea why there's the discrepancy. -
Some of the costs seem a little out of whack t'me, but...
Nicely done, I have to say. Arachnos strike me more as Red creatures than Black, though -

Added the following to the original post:
Okay, yes, there is a counter for the obliteration beam. It gets lost in the interface. I'll revise this request to "there should be a solid (not fuzzy) area for the obliteration beam." There should be an ground to ceiling beam effect showing where the beam is targeting. The Obliteration beam SHOULD NEVER FIRE when Anti-Matter stops time. Antimatter SHOULD NOT STOP TIME when the hold portion of the Obliteration beam's target is being displayed, but not at the "hold" portion (the "run away" bit).
Disintegration beam SHOULD NEVER FIRE when people are being held by the Obliteration beam OR when Anti-Matter stops time.
Alpha and Beta Entanglements should be removed entirely.
Terminals in the power cell phases: Should have a clear aura when they are "locked". Not floating text, a clearly visible aura.
The hospital door timer on the trials. That is simply a failed experiment. It has never done what it was supposed to do: keep players together during the trial. -

Actually, I have a tiny fix for all the incarnate trials that would make them more fun: Remove the timer that only lets you exit the hospital for 10 seconds every 30 seconds.

Doesn't stop it being bloody irritating though.
But there's a difference between going "Oh rears, this is annoying...Oh well" and "OMFG WTFBBQ Y U do this?!"

See announcements, Immediate Emergency maintenance.
It happens. I'm still kind of amazed people think things never go wrong. -
Make the god damned Inherent DO something when solo, and in fact scrap needing a team for it to work, for pity sakes...
Only Defenders have (part of) an Inherent that relies on teams, and that's because they are THE Team Buff AT. PBs and WSs are NOT. -
Quote:No, we just want to not be ***-****ed every step of the way. Not like Praetorians all have rediculous amounts of accuracy that make defence builds utterly useless or insanely high damage or- Owait.Originally Posted by rian_frostdrake
it is fun, what would get it run more is for baf to be les zerg-able, until people cant get the rewards by doing the path of least resistance, a vocal portion wont do it because they want the easiest way.
Having that AND slapping down a totally ham-fisted way of completing the trial before the boss fight of 'Oh, look at all the shinies we gave him!' just makes it one hundred percent NOT fun for me, and others it seems.
LRSF and STF are still challenging (please bear in mind, NOT everyone is a Tier 4'd IO'd out god, just because some people are) as they are, and require tactics and teamwork and not turning your brain off.
Keyes is just rear-end-al about it. -

NOTE: The Incarnate System is basically farming for IOs on a larger scale, and with more obtrusive lore.

You can take Union away when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Quote:Agreed. It was like the one run I did, and the fact it gave me my first ever Rare drop on my main char; it felt like the game apologizing for me having to play through that.Originally Posted by Blue Rabbit
I'd sacrifice the PANCAKE out of that.
Ten Emps would make me consider it. -
You'd hate Union; Every BAF I've been on has kept Siege and NS seperate, just because that's how we roll over here across the pond

I totally disbelieve!

Hopefully sooner rather than later...

Yes, heaven forbid there be short term pain for long term gain...not like they're trying to make things better, cutting lag from Trials, Lag Valley and making the game in general rn smoother...
Owait, this is the internet. Common sense got banned, didn't it? -
Quote:^ This, a thousand times. I've run Keyes a grand total of once since it went live. True, I've not been trialing much at all, but even had I been, I wouldn't have run it even then.Originally Posted by ObiWan
don't run it? That's how i make it fun.

Also, I LOVE the Iron Captain. Very nice use of costume there.
