    Hmmm... good thought. But, he was only the designer of the armor. As such, he is more architect than out and out hero.

    Did you have anything in mind?

    Yes, mine do look a tad buff... but the reason I made them was as a part of an enemy group. So, I wanted them to have a bit of presence. Plus, the main goal of my posting them was to communicate the clothing choices I made.

    I made an AE arc for an SG project that involved a few of the beginning zone's contacts... what follows are the "re-designs" that I happened to come up with.

    I agree with the overarching sentiment above: the update is somewhat ugly and unnecessary.

    I will say what I said in another thread as well: Were these pieces used in smaller doses (a few pieces per character) and a global update to the CoT was done, I would likely LOVE the change... but to overhaul them completely and just slap them in head-to-toe of a single set... with a single set of colors looks bad. This outfit does NOT befit the CoT I know.

    I don't think Khelds should get color customization. It is perhaps the only set in the game that has a lore related reason for its colors as is. I mean the source of the entire AT is entrenched in the lore. Making Fire purple can be explained in a multitude of different ways because it is in the control of the players... but a Kheld is in the domain of the Dev's lore. Period.

    Valid point... the important thing, I suppose is that you know you are being a mite unreasonable in your expectations... the fact that I sorta knew that helps. But I suspect a great many people get so frustrated with you (from what I have seen) because they have no clue how you are actually approaching a topic. Dunno if that at all matters to you, but it might cause fewer arguments if you make that clear now and again.

    Maybe if [Dimension Shift] were made into both a Toggle AND to mimic [Detention Field] more, it would be great... since Detained enemies are immobile and don't attack or anything. And on my Troller, [Detention Field]'s effect is made as obvious as possible (bright orange currently).

    As for the AoE [Lift]? I really think that [Lift] itself should be changed to be a Chain as I said earlier (no need to change the icon then) and should simply do less damage to each target effected. This would solidly increase the amount of fast recharging controls Gravity has at its disposal.

    Then, if you alter Wormhole to apply the stun FIRST and then notify mobs they have been hit... remove the KB from the power and you are golden! Oh, and significantly decrease the animation time on [Propel]... possibly make it a small radius Cone?


    Thus, you would have:
    • One ST Immob
    • One ST Hold
    • One Chain/AoE KU power (soft-control)
    • One AoE Stun/Enemy Teleport
    • One AoE Hold (fairly long recharge)
    • One AoE Immob (short recharge)
    • One High Dmg Cone (unique to Control Sets)
    • Singularity (an awesome Controller pet no matter how ya slice it)
    • And, one power that (at your command) can take an entire ambush out of the fight

    I think there would be a TON more use for it if you could turn it off at will. It would become, in some ways, better than [Detention Field] which is a power I LOVE... hell, without that power, I would not have been able to duo the Recluse's Victory AVs with a friend of mine.

    Plus I just really want an AoE lift power rather than a chain because it would just be cooler. Just take out Dimension Shift, give it any old name (Mass/Group Lift would even be fine), put it on a 30-45 second recharge timer and call it a day. And the whole "chain" effect makes sense thematically for electric, but for gravity it really doesn't. I'm sure there is a way you could spin it to fit thematically for gravity but everyone would know it doesn't really fit.
    See, I think the chain fits PERFECTLY... it would be as if the power's target had caused the other critters that inherit the [Lift] to be in orbit of it or otherwise impacted by the gravitational shift you caused on the main target. And, really, I think making it a chain would be better balanced when it comes to altering [Lift] (there is a chance for fewer things to be hit by it and the chain stopping)... but if you want to include a NEW power, I think and AoE would fit better. So, if you consider the suggestion I was making, the chain makes more sense.

    Yes, improving Gravity just means there'd be a new "worst" control set, but such is the nature of MMOs. "Someone's gotta be at the bottom" would be/is an exceedingly poor excuse for not improving an under-performer.
    Well, I can't say I disagree with you that it has been a LONG time coming. Especially with regard to performance on a Dominator.

    And while "someone's gotta be at the bottom" is a horrendous reason not to improve a set, likewise "my set is the worst" isn't, in and of itself, a justification to improve it... since the fact remains that there will always be a worst set.

    @Forbin: While the general angle you are coming from relating to global storage is likely accurate... I think the specific things you are saying are a bit off the deep end in terms of magnitude and overly pessimistic with regard to the devolpment team's thinking. I would advise that you consider the history yourself a bit, because your assessment of the situation seems to be angled toward the most negative possible interpretation of everything that could happen were this suggestion to come to fruition (which it likely won't).

    Yes, there was.

    Well, since you have spurned any discussion about this suggestion so far... which has all been valid in my opinion, I will ONLY be responding to the above suggestion when I say: That is not going to happen... and /unsigned.

    So... what I get out of this, is if a change is made so that some player controlled power(s) grant(s) KB to (unwanting) teammates' powers in an AoE... they will THEN and only then "give in" and alter the way KB works... right?

    Assuming of course that folks discover just where those new files are held... they will likely change up the directory structure... of course that also requires someone to extract the current file from the game data.

    As much as I like the music in AP... change is good. I honestly see an update across CoH as a hugely good thing. There is no need to keep everything the same for years on end just because of some sort of nostalgia or "because it's always been that way." This is the same feeling I have re: the update of Galaxy and its (near) inaccesability post i21.

    Technically speaking, one of those powers doesn't use Knockback at all, it uses Repel.

If you can post examples where it's been beneficial to team success, then please, by all means, go right ahead.
    Odd, I was just thinking last night "man, I wish I had [Force Bolt] right about now" as Trolls were in my face mauling me with their melee powers. I was on a KB-less Blaster.

    IIRC you get the Reward Tokens upfront, and the PPs month by month.

    Great artwork to be sure... but the cutesy face with glasses doesn't seem to mesh at all with the rest of the... ummm... (can I call what little that is an 'outfit'?) outfit. Although, perhaps that is the point?

    Gravity is pretty much universally better on a Troller... it's hardships (primarily animation time in this case) are magnified when compared to a Dom's secondary.

    I do think that the current beta price (as we've been told) is too high.

    Not "too high" as in people can't afford it or anything... but yeah, I think, if you look at past expenditures, at how much is being put on sale and at the whole picture (from the customer's side), it seems to be a bit too far in the seller's favor.

    That's my opinion, so anyone who wants to come in here and spew negativity to the OP or me for that... can have a very nice day
    Agreed.
