Lol any one who has hope for this game is a true hero. I'm not going to quote or find when they said this, but I remember in an "Ask Cryptic" a while ago someone said something about vehicles, and they said not on the schedule, and hard to do. Then I take a break and come back to vehicles. That just lets me know that they are NOT doing fixes. If they wanted to they would, like how vehicles just sprung up (compared to other planned and promised content).
-A few people ask for vehicles and BAM!
-Every single person to ever play this game asks for fixes? Back seat for years.
Telepathy cannot be nerfed anymore than it already is, support/cc wise. Some of the powers IN SET dont proc an IN SET form.
Which Telepathy Powers don't proc Manipulator?
I've found that these do:
Mind Lock
Ego Placate
Ego Sleep
Ego Storm
Psychic Vortex advantage doesn't because, well, no stuns proc Manip.
"There is only one way to support a PFF tank: Send Cyrone lots of money weekly... because he's the only one to successfully be a true PFF Tank." - chuckwolf
Psychic Vortex advantage doesn't because, well, no stuns proc Manip.
Thunderclap is a stun power which procs Manip like Ego Storm i.e you can use it to build stacks.
Mind Lock and Ego Placate finally proc Manip? Wow...thats new...to me anyway. On PTS every control attempt proc'd Manipulator since they fixed it. (excluding KB)
Psychic Vortex should proc Manip with advantage, since Thunderclap does.
By the way what is the upper limit of Manipulator? Is it Super Villain or Master Villain? I'm inclined to think the latter but I could be wrong...
I've put up to Super Villain class enemies to sleep or held though I hear of a build that could do Legendaries.

Some stuns do but I think the issue may be stuns provided by advantages or provided by a pseudo pet. Technically Vortex is applying the stun and not the player.
I've put up to Super Villain class enemies to sleep or held though I hear of a build that could do Legendaries.
Hmm, then perhaps some supervillains arent obeying held conditions? I -think- I tried to hold the new boss at the end of Major Vargas's Vault Mission in Psionic Grip using Psionic Accelerator. I had Manipulator at 8 stacks and a rank 4.1 hold...he didnt seem to stop..
Re: Thats "Legendary capable CC build"
IMO, could work but it would be sooo franken it would make me sick lol.
I've put up to Super Villain class enemies to sleep or held though I hear of a build that could do Legendaries.
I have had the single stongest holds EVER on two different builds and the never did work on Legendaries.

Please, no more "telepathy works" propaganda. By all means pick a thread and post it there, but there is alot of info out about the delay of telepathy's review, even Trailturtle's in game conversations could be posted.. There's alot of info that I missed out on that I would love to get info on why/when/what is "On Hold" but there is an existing thread talking about the Telepathy framework.
IF there actually are bugs that were stealth fixed I would also very much like to see them posted. But I seriously doubt that is happening, and it's not what's being posted.

TBF, it can "work" as a ranged damage high DPS Ego build and its effective and has decent control capabilities...BUT...in the main TK ranged could do better I reckon. In the intended role of support...it doesnt shine that well...or at all really.
I did hear of Telepathy being put up on PTS after this event stuff is out of the way...I'm guessing that will be around middle March time....but who knows?
I'm currently running around with no viable support CC Telepath build which saddens me greatly...so I just hang out with PSI....Q__________Q

why is tele always labelled as support how many telepaths in other media are "support" most seem to spend far more time turning there foes into lobotomised morons than they do healing there friends or even putting there foes to "sleep"

What you just described is debuffs. Debuffs are support.
BECAUSE Telepathy is THE debuff set.. why has its capability been so horribly nerfed and never improved?
In my heart I would be fine if telepathy did NO damage.. debuffing is a VERY powerful tool in terms of game mechanics.
Instead they nerfed debuffs and increased damage. Thus the need for telepathy review continued to grow.

Not gonna lie, I don't see Prof X in the thick of it with Wolverine....
Telepaths tend to be the stand alone controllers in a team, which is why even cartoons get this spot on...
Why did he do such a horrible thing? Was it because she was going to read their minds to death? No. It was because she could shut them down, lock down their minds and render them helpless. In other words she would have used her telepathy to crowd control them..
Telepathy has been painted and from the looks of the powerset intended to be a high CC/debuff power set, with TK as the offensive option to mental powers.
I agree Telepathy doesnt doesnt fit what it's meant to be. My own particular example is the Mind AT, from the lack of damage and CC and general set up I would have called it an attempt at an amateur telepath. Even before it was released people said telepathy needed help and the AT is not going to do that well.
Telepathy needs stronger debuffs, control and it needs to have damage elements, either that or make control effects work on everything and make them work well.
Waiting on Cryptic to deliver with their promises on Telepathy , brings one clip to mind..

I don't really think that debuffs were nerfed. Just that the capable damage output of players has been increased to the point that debuffs aren't needed. Which is a major issue to me.
Also, I don't think there is anything concrete about Telepathy hitting the PTS again after this mega event but it's something that I've heard flying around as well.

Ruining crowd control (for teams specifically) is the greatest nerf to debuffs (which made melee suck as well)
Svengali's Guile was the biggest power affected by this nerf of debuffing.
Collective Will's Debuff was nerfed.
Psi Lash's debuff was nerfed
Meanwhile Chest beam and Demolish are doing just fine.. PS.. wrong thread.
Remember I am not online and thus am immune to general conjecture
I don't recall. It was being discussed in one of the channels I'm a part of when I logged in about a week ago.

Svengali's Guile - using it, loving it.
I remember Collective Will's debuff getting wrecked but if I recall, it was wrecked due to stupid high DPS build reasons (Old TK Blades). Still, though, I tested Collective Will with my Kr'anri character and managed to get a 8,706 damage crit with Ego Blast/Mind Opener.
Annnnd never knew that Psi Lash debuffed. (Just a little late to the telepath game. :biggrin:)

Some of the channels Cyrone was talking about have what you just mentioned on them and IIRC that's the discussion he was talking about. I know you aren't ingame these days according to what you say and even if you were you aren't on said channels. Guess you'll just have to take Cyrone's word for it since he's the primary person taking the time to break it down...
You know, you going on about this is getting to me. No, it's not because you're going on about it here and not because you're going on about it on Facebook.
It's because you're more relentless on these things than I am, you're right and the fact that none of us should even feel the need to have to do this.
As soon as I get something concrete you will be the first to know.

Aww.. Prech'd.
I have more time on my hands than you and frankly being patient hasn't worked for 3 years.
As soon as I get something concrete you will be the first to know.
Well I'm still waiting on the "Cryptic Meeting" (sounds like a underground society of evil) to give a SoTG.. 2 weeks later.. still no word.
I mean.. I'm just gonna say it.. it is NOT very becoming of a company, and as long as I'm pissed off I will continue to hold their feet to the coals. While the rest of you are actually playing the game I have nothing but time, anger, and resentment to continue my relentless rant until both the hold system and telepathy are brought to standard.
Honest? If I didn't, I fear that no one would and something so fundamental would continue to be a huge, ugly blemish on what could be a great game. At this point my voice is more important than my playership.. I truly believe that if I shut up about it, it will be permanently shifted to the "never gonna happen" back-burner.
So until they say "not gonna happen" I am going to make sure they can't say ANYTHING without being reminded of how pissed off I am about being ignored. And if they DO say "Not gonna happen" there will be a full 90 days of piss and vinegar so.. your move Cryptic.
first, you need to convince them that vehicles aren't wanted for actual gameplay, but rather travel. (I'm making this assumption based on what I think and see others comment.)
Then, talk them into putting the telepathy pass into lockboxes, as that's what seems that'll get them to consider something ..

MANOFLIGHT! I thought you were gone forever.. good to see you. Are you still in-game?
Also.. I've already given them $500 cash for this set that did not come.. if they put it in lockboxes I will do something unpleasant to a puppy

What i described could also be damage i mean turning some ones mind to mush has got to be painful there's plenty of real world medical examples of people making them self ill not because there's anything physically wrong with them but because for what ever reason they have become so convinced that there's something wrong with them some symptoms manifest l could see being caused by a telepath (along with the brain blasting that is)
as to telipathy doing no damage no thanks though on the subject of debuffs I wouldnt mind seeing telepathy get a some kind of internal stacking debuff so that on harder/tuffer targets they could build up this debuff which would result in much higher damage/effects from there powers kinda a representation of them slowly worming there way through a strong willed opponents mind

Maybe not these days but the prof used to be quite the brawler using his telepathy to predict incoming attacks and avoid them. I do wish they would over hall the hole control side of things and make it more like a mix of teh basics we have now and CoHs system where holds were much quicker to use none f this charging your AoE only for the rest of teh team to wipe the spawn before you fire it off
... I do wish they would over hall the hole control side of things and make it more like a mix of teh basics we have now and CoHs system where holds were much quicker to use none f this charging your AoE only for the rest of teh team to wipe the spawn before you fire it off
That's more an issue with charge powers in general. Depending on the team charging powers is a complete waste as everything but bosses get killed by maintains/taps in a couple seconds.

I always like to think that when my telepathy character reduces a character's hit points to 0, that she has effectively used her telepathic powers to knock that character out (or shut them down, lock down their minds, and render them helpless... they kind of look that way laying on the ground), rather than kill them. Effectively, she has permanently crowd-controlled them at that point.
The real question is, if we want Telepathy mechanics to faithfully represent the "rp side" of telepathy.. how are we using mind control powers to defeat robots who have no minds? :eek:

I used to view my telepath doing that too.
As for robots...I always avoided them until recently. I've RPed my way around it, in the sense that her sister (who is a technopath) is not only teaching her to better understand AI Tech and robots but to allow her to interact with them on a telepathic level via the use of PSI-AI Interface, converting her telepathic energy into a powerful virus/command in code which can work on beings of a mechanical kind who possess no brain, such as Destroids.
I'm thinking of making them nanites so she doesnt have to run around with the tech on her head and look less than appealing lol.
But that's just me being prepared, as far as other telepaths *shrugs*
I'd like powers in general to be a little more flexible in terms of representation, like instead of just blasts and small personal shields in force, why not have large AoE Shields/Containment Fields, Barriers, slicing constructs etc.
I'd love to be able to use more control aspects of telepathy, locking down a large group with a maintained hold (better than Ego Storm) or forcing enemies to fight themselves etc.
I don't honestly care about Telepathy but i will support your noble quest!:biggrin:
Even non-believers support our cause! There is hope yet!
(still no stable source of internet, waiting on my computer to get back to the US, another 2-3 months it seems)

Psychic Vortex should proc Manip with advantage, since Thunderclap does.

MANOFLIGHT! I thought you were gone forever.. good to see you. Are you still in-game?
Also.. I've already given them $500 cash for this set that did not come.. if they put it in lockboxes I will do something unpleasant to a puppy
When you're on usually I'm sleeping (difference in time zones I'm assuming)
Have been also posting a few guides, and will upload some more....soon.

What i described could also be damage i mean turning some ones mind to mush has got to be painful there's plenty of real world medical examples of people making them self ill not because there's anything physically wrong with them but because for what ever reason they have become so convinced that there's something wrong with them some symptoms manifest l could see being caused by a telepath (along with the brain blasting that is)
as to telipathy doing no damage no thanks though on the subject of debuffs I wouldnt mind seeing telepathy get a some kind of internal stacking debuff so that on harder/tuffer targets they could build up this debuff which would result in much higher damage/effects from there powers kinda a representation of them slowly worming there way through a strong willed opponents mind
Maybe not these days but the prof used to be quite the brawler using his telepathy to predict incoming attacks and avoid them. I do wish they would over hall the hole control side of things and make it more like a mix of teh basics we have now and CoHs system where holds were much quicker to use none f this charging your AoE only for the rest of teh team to wipe the spawn before you fire it off
That's more an issue with charge powers in general. Depending on the team charging powers is a complete waste as everything but bosses get killed by maintains/taps in a couple seconds.
3 years and counting

So half a year? Dayum...I'd better get a perk for that...

I always like to think that when my telepathy character reduces a character's hit points to 0, that she has effectively used her telepathic powers to knock that character out (or shut them down, lock down their minds, and render them helpless... they kind of look that way laying on the ground), rather than kill them. Effectively, she has permanently crowd-controlled them at that point.
The real question is, if we want Telepathy mechanics to faithfully represent the "rp side" of telepathy.. how are we using mind control powers to defeat robots who have no minds? :eek:
Champions Online: Be the hero you wish you could be in a better game.
I used to view my telepath doing that too.
As for robots...I always avoided them until recently. I've RPed my way around it, in the sense that her sister (who is a technopath) is not only teaching her to better understand AI Tech and robots but to allow her to interact with them on a telepathic level via the use of PSI-AI Interface, converting her telepathic energy into a powerful virus/command in code which can work on beings of a mechanical kind who possess no brain, such as Destroids.
I'm thinking of making them nanites so she doesnt have to run around with the tech on her head and look less than appealing lol.
But that's just me being prepared, as far as other telepaths *shrugs*
I'd like powers in general to be a little more flexible in terms of representation, like instead of just blasts and small personal shields in force, why not have large AoE Shields/Containment Fields, Barriers, slicing constructs etc.
I'd love to be able to use more control aspects of telepathy, locking down a large group with a maintained hold (better than Ego Storm) or forcing enemies to fight themselves etc.
