Triplash

I play a lot of melee. I'll see if I can sum it up, at least as I see it.

It's mostly that 90% of any given melee character's contribution happens within 7 feet of the spawn. They don't get to stand back and shoot, they have to move to each mob individually and then start hitting. When you can only get one hit in before your target is sent flying out of your range, that gets old pretty fast.

Not in the slightest. But I want to at least feel like I'm contributing, rather than just running to catch up to the enemy all the time, only to land one hit and then have to start running again.

And when they follow this logic, or any hint of a plan at all for that matter, things go very well. But not every player will put their teammates' enjoyment ahead of their own desire to be the team's MVP, and many just get lost in the heat of battle and stop thinking altogether.

Knockback is great, I agree. Lots of people know how to use it without it disrupting their teammates' contributions. If everyone knew how to, there'd be no argument over it.

Complete agreement here

Also entirely true. Though not part of the "KB on a team" argument, obviously.

So, yeah. That's my take.

Yes, exactly. Type in "/e camera" and that cellphone will look positively futuristic

I want a cookie emote. Like the donut one except, y'know, a cookie. I know there's others but right now that's all I can think of

*emails you a big bowl of chicken soup*

Here ya go. Rest up.


*glances down at the soup oozing out from under the scanner lid*

Oh, that can't be good...

There's probably something to this. I've been playing about two and a half years, and nobody's ever fixed that Unusual Clockwork "Actvity" in King's Row

That's not ragdoll, that's her regular idle animation.

Here's her combat pose:





( Now that's Trick Arrow! *badum-tish* )

Accapella, too. They were actually on their way to a performance at the train station in that picture. They had gathered around in a circle to warm up their voices, when some hero saw them and... well that was the end of that career.

Hehe, before checking that thread out I thought you meant the ones from Total Wipeout.



Also: fireworks, hawaiian shirts, surfing, and a giant octopus attack? I am so there!

I know, right?

I took that the other night. I saw them walking toward the intersection and I was like, no, really? I couldn't have forgiven myself for not screencapping that one

That's understandable. Halloween is a pretty busy day for anyone who has kids. Or is a kid. Or has a party. Or is a party. Or... wait, what was the question again?

Then don't list the things that are ready, just the ones that are still counting. Much shorter list.

I'd prefer it in a window myself. Maybe in there next to the Mission and Contact details. But however it works, I'd love to see a feature like this!

It would for at least me.

I know that Shield Defense draws the shield when you turn on any one of its toggles, and you don't put away the shield until you've turned off every one of those toggles. It stands to reason to have a toggle like that for weapons, really... I like this idea.

I don't even think you'd need both an attack delay and an endurance cost. Since the accuracy buff was added to compensate for a redraw delay, losing that delay now in exchange for an endurance cost would essentially be using the endurance cost to "pay for" that accuracy buff. Much less re-balancing work to do. Make the end cost something worthy of that set's accuracy boost (noticeable but not insurmountable), and it just sort of works itself out.

I think it might even work better as an opt-in after the fact, rather than altering the powersets themselves. There could be an NPC (perhaps the Field Analysts / Fateweavers) that you'd visit who would first verify whether you actually have a weapon powerset, and if you do, grant you this as an inherent or temporary power.

One question I have though, is for characters using two different weapon powersets. Something like Trick Arrow / Dual Pistols. Would activating one weapon toggle de-toggle any others, suppress them temporarily, or what?
