I suggest you fix Kinetic Manipulation

I mean, come on, now Devs. It's been well over 4 years now this power has been so broken it is unusable. Surely somebody somewhere has noticed this and brought it to the table to fix it. You guys have time to add new gambling boxes to the game regularly, you have time to add silly 10 minute team play mini-missions to the game, you do all sorts of things that don't fix anything...the very least you can do is fix this one power that has broken for WELL over 4 years now. It was broken BEFORE PW came along. I have put in tickets for this, I have put this on the bugs forums...and it continues to be ignored. No Dev has even spoken on it or even acknowledged the power's downfalls.
The 8 second timer that shuts down Kinetic Manipulation resets over and over and that 8 second down time turns in to more like a 16 second downtime. The power has been broken in this way for WELL over 4 years...if not 5 years. I have reported this bug over 4 years ago, and I mention it at least once a year since then so people don't forget about it. There is a reason people are taking Quarry instead of Kinetic Manipulation. It's a 20% difference in DPS...that's not good.
This needs to be fixed and soon....my personal patience with this Dev team's lack of bug fixing capabilities is wearing very thin. I have never had a love for PW...in my opinion it's worse than the way I felt about Cryptic after they had bold faced lied about what Star Trek Online was going to be. PW is more concerned with robbing people blind with Gambling Boxes than they are with fixing bugs. Let's not mention that everything people are dumping thousands of dollars in to, we used to get for our regular 15 bucks a month. You want to rip people off with these gambling boxes, that's fine by me...if people want to stick their heads in the sand and ignore the fact they are being ripped off, fine. But at very least...you can fix your bugs. That would be great.

I take this quote from a review that I agree with.
"customisation is so linear; everyone is after the optimal dps:survivability ratio with 0 reliance on other players = autonomous gameplay... Players don't need each other anymore... which in my opinion is a bad thing."
Noticed and noted.
Would you like some cheese with your whine?
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Well, bud...if you want to be complacent and be a good little fan boi and be completely docile with the bugs that never get fixed in this game, that's on you. However...don;t come in here patronizing me with your juvenile B.S. You and I both know the only reason why you are being so bold is because you have the anonymity of the internet. So your weak attempt to goad me only shows your cowardice.

We're gonna need a bigger cheese.

I have all free forms. I don't play AT's. However, about once a year I try to respec in to KM, to see if it has been fixed yet...and sure enough, the countdown on the energy cancellation debuff is still broken. So about once a year, it pi**es me off.

I want to know what GENIUS though it was a good idea to make the Force Powerframe Passive penalize you
Kinetic Manipulation is really underwelming passive, and even on Non-Force builds, people used to make Munition DPS builds with it but now with the fixed/buffed Targeting Computer and Composure nobody looks back it
even Earth Form is better
for Force Cascade builds Night Warrior and Quarry are still better
Yeah... but the waiting game for revamps S U C K
This can take 3-6 months from now or 2 years depending on the DEVs' scendule and delays
Oh well. Just use NW/Quarry in the meantime. No biggie. KM wouldn't be a better option even if that bug was fixed. Isn't Earth Form an option too? I forget.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Nope, Earth Form also counts as Energy Form (Recovers energy when you receive Crushing Damage) and gets absorbed by FC
HOWEVER a 3rd viable options is UNSTOPPABLE, The energy gain from knocking is helpful and it doesn't even matter thats its a melee passive the damage is good
I highly doubt you're doing 20% more damage with KM, even if the form eating aspect was completely removed.

They did something recently for Gigabolt + Electric Sheath in that it disables the ... "disable" of more charged Gigabolts, for the duration of Electric Sheath. Frankly, that's the sort of thing that should go into KM. As long as the passive is slotted, disable the "energy form disable on use of Force Cascade", at least in relation to KM itself. KM Passive is active, then Force Cascade is always at a reduced cost.
I don't know about the bugs with the form otherwise, as I haven't used it for quite some time. And, even then only for Munitions build.

THIS is a great idea.
However, in my experience, it's preferable to work the energy stats, the form, etc to allow you to fire off full Force Cascades, with minimal Energy Builder use, than to try to do the circle dance ... or other things.

It still shuts down your Energy Form. The only thing that bubble does is give you a power discount, which is nice, but doesn't work as I had hoped. If it actually did just eat the bubble without canceling out the Energy Form, it would be more tempting to pick KM up. Sadly, even with the bubble, I am still using Quarry. Also...it is 20%. It may be 18 or 19, but rounded to 20%. It's a pretty big difference.

Hell, I could only WISH it still worked that way. I could possibly work around that if it did. It would still limit my use of FC, but at least I would maintain my form and could make use of other abilities.
If you're seeing the number on the debuff occasionally go back up, that's not actually causing it to take longer. I get that with my holds on my CCer too, the numbers go up sometimes, but the overall duration remains the same. Has something to do with the server and the client communicating about the duration.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Really? Hmmmm....So you are saying (just to be clear) that the timer is wrong when it ticks back up to 8 seconds, and that the KM buff is actually back up and running after 8 seconds?
TO me, it was like, any attack power at all would reset the timer, even if it was an energy builder. When I tested it, the only way I could get that timer to be correct, is if I did not attack at all. But any time I attacked with any type of ability, it would randomly reset the timer to 8 seconds again.
lol, I just got that..
Well done Spinny
What are you, some F'ing cheer leader? Once a follower, always a follower, eh? Gotta love Beta Males...
Can you show me this in-game? I can't reproduce it. Even spamming FC didn't make it happen.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Yes, I can make a video of it. Let me get woke up and up and moving and I'll make a quick video. I will need to respec again to do it, but I'm almost level 40 on this particular character (I have two force characters) and I'll post the vid link.
Okay, I made a video that clearly shows the big. It's after about the third or fourth Cascade that the bug happens. I am using nothing but Cascade and the energy builder. It ticks down to 1 second, then restarts at 7 seconds again. I keep my mouse hovered over Cascade to show the damage does not go back up after the countdown resets. It's definitely still bugged.
Video is here

I sure wish I had your luck. Every play the lottery? lol
I saw it. That's rather odd and yeah seems pretty bad. I can only hope they'd fix it
42 40s, LTSer.
An unfortunate possibility is that the devs might not be able to recreate it either, and hence why it hasn't been fixed.
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
Well at least they have a video to go off of now. Would be nice if a Dev would chime in.
