It's true what Snow Globe says, Triumph is pretty much a ghost server these days.

The "different effects depending on the target" mechanic, as seen in such upcoming powers as Rebirth, Enflame, and Unrelenting. This would be a great way to add functionality to existing sets without violating the cottage rule. For example, Empathy, which often finds itself overshadowed by other, less specialized support sets in late-game content. I'd like to see Resurrect become usable on living allies as well as defeated ones, and on enemies to cause them to pulse a healing and +end aura that affects your allies. (Maybe change the name to Life Channel or something) Clear Mind could be used on enemies to reduce their mez resistance and ToHit. Adrenaline Boost could double as a mega debuff, crashing the regeneration and recovery of foes while reducing their damage, secondary effects, recharge, and max HP.

And here's a cool idea: what if Masterminds could use their minion upgrade powers on other players to grant them temporary powers based on their set? Demon Summoners could give teammates a clone of the upcoming Arcane Bolt, while Mercs could equip their allies with frag grenades.

I think this could make for some even more exciting change-ups in the established game, at a time when the game is already going through some exciting change-ups.

I'd like to improve respecs. When you're doing a respec, the music should be something like this, and other players should see your characters glowing and shooting off fireworks, and when you finish there should be some big fanfare, like the "hitting level 50" level-up FX times ten. I think this would make respecs just a little more, well, super!





What, what were you thinking I meant?

I think you're screwing with us.

At least targeted AoEs are good spots for AT-specific IOs.

No, you've got it backwards. We need the option to wear the High Collar cape with only the collar and no cape. Easy mistake.

Viral marketing for a new RoboCop, I'd imagine.

Um. It's July right now. Not June.

The incarnate system and 12 free character slots per server are the only incentives to become a VIP. If you take away the Incarnate system from that, what incentive do non-altoholics have to stick around?

This sounds like what you can already do by turning down your Max Particle Count slider in the options menu.

Weekend's over, waiting on that post from Arbiter Hawk describing the specific secondary changes in detail!

So, Arby Hawk, any chance you could just plain tell us all the secondary powers that are changing and how?

I'm pretty sure one of the effects of the spores in the hallway is -Range.

Then how do you explain Excalibur?

I think it's somewhere in Europe, since the Praetorian counterpart to Excalibur is near First Ward.

Okay, imagine your powerset being available in the game, and your character can pick up his enemies. Now imagine that multiple people on your team are trying to do the same thing.

I don't really see the value in such an item. Anything that can really handle the extra aggro from automatic taunts (and some things that can't) already have access to such things.
