Animal skulls for females! yay! Wait, can't find them, even with the search function.

nbkxs · March 2016

None of these fire adjustments seem to be working at all, the reverb is wigging out, 20+ stacks? oO.

aiqa · March 2016

Please consider changing arc of ruin to pbAoE, since it's a 360 degree attack now there is no reason it should require a target.

kallethen · March 2016

Still would like to see some non-fire HW options added back to the powerset.

Well... it IS an Archetype. The whole point of an archetype is to have a singular theme and run with it.

My issue is that they are changing the theme of the Powerset to fit the one Archtype.

EDIT: Thus it breaks the theme of those who use the powerset for heros that want to swing a big weapon but not have fire in just about every attack.

Add my voice to those with this concern. Thermal Reverb is one of the easier energy unlocks to trigger. I've bulit heroes who can trigger it by just spamming Brimstone or flashfire. I'm not sure if adding Clinging Flames to almost every HW attack is necessary.

Also - I

Absorb Heat. Letting the inferno have it as a choice would be nice. Seeing as it's range is 25-FT there would be some risk vs. reward in order to use it.

pantagruel01 · March 2016

kaizerin said:

Clinging Flames can no longer crit.

Suggest either a bump to base damage or a damage bonus based on crit chance/severity. Or both. Or an innate stack limit of 2-3 instead of 1. It's not like clinging flames damage is anything to write home about.

Damage bonus based on crit chance/severity needs to be added to a lot of DoTs. Standardized for them, probably.

FFS, there is no reason to make this change. But if you must please increase the damage by 30%+ and/or increase the AoE range.

I agree, please think of peoples existing character concepts that may not want fire or clinging flames as part of there theme!.

So HOW MANY Clinging Flames can you MAX STACK now?

I have a similar concern--once Imaginary Weapon skins became available, I added some HW powers to some of my toons as punching/slamming attacks, or earth-based attacks. Fire doesn't match the theme of them at all.

This is just weird--it's almost like the power set should be renamed, "Heavy Flaming Weapon".

riverocean · March 2016

Suggestion For The Rocker AT:

Here is my suggestion for the Rocker AT. It would be nice if the Rocker's final power choice was between Unleashed Rage and Rebirth. None of the existing tanks can resurrect themselves and this would add to it's appeal as a premium AT. Plus, I think it's thematic. So many Rock Star's have brought their careers back from the dead

. And there's even an advantage that would allow them to bring some band mates back with them!!

criswolf09 · March 2016

I think rebirth should be a choice for the Void rather than the Rocker AT

jaazaniah1 · March 2016

Add me to list of those who would like to see all these new fire/flame changes as optional, not mandatory, for HW.

dakrushmor · March 2016

l think all AT, regardless of sub status, must be able to claim Heroic Resonance device. Until they introduce it, with all their selfrez nerfs all you can do it to smash "Call for Help" button with all your might!

aiqa · March 2016

Suggestion:
Add mission markers for Terror Siphons.

Heroic Resonance is a perk that's given to long term subscribers. I don't think it's reasonable to ask that F2P members get it for free.

Premium AT's should be improved overall, so they can handle upper lvl content. And to be honest, that is happening.

We've seen quite a few ATs get buffed recently.

Free AT's well..they are free for a reason. They shouldn't be as strong as a Free Form or a Paid AT.

Yes, that's frustrating.

But the game has been pretty good to silver players, including giving silvers Premium AT's and FF for free over the past few months.

Then new Premium AT (Rocker) is obviously being designed to handle tougher level content. Which is why I suggested a rez with it. But that's just me recalling how Tanks in COH always had a self-heal and a self-rez of some kind. They are tanks.. they live in melee and being in melee means you're going to die sometimes.

Personally, I think all Premium Tanks should have a self-heal and a rez. They are paid for AT's after all and should be a little better off than Free AT's.

soulforger · March 2016

So, was .22 just .21, but working? Or was there anything else?

heroshima1 · March 2016

I'll throw my name in the hat and ask that the fire effects for HW be optional (0 or 1 point adv?). I have a few toons that are weapon users and this theme would break them.

Additionally, I'd like to have a few "fire HW" skins released to work with the new HW fire theme.

soulforger · March 2016

What they should do, is give all Single Blade, Duel Blade, Claws, and HW attack several 0 point advantages to give make them dual type damage. 1 point advantages would be a waste of points. Plus, they need to make it so that if you have a power that has a 0 point advantage, you should be able to access your advantage points regardless of how many advantage points they have left. Of course, they should also make 0 point advantages be toggleable so you can change them on a fly when instead of having to go back to the power house just to remove a 0 point advantage.

From what I hear of Dev preferences regarding 0 point advantages and ponies, you're much more likely to get that pony than soul is to get those 0 pointers.

**EDIT** Moved the tangential discussion about ranged/melee, fire/heavy weapons builds to the Suggestions Box subforum. Please refer to that thread if you wish to continue the conversation.

BUG

Fire Snake still allows a player to stack Clinging Flames indefinitely. Each Snake can apply one stack of Clinging Flames (independent of the player's one-stack limit), which can be renewed with Wildfire. When the source Fire Snake expires, the Clinging Flames remain, but are now flagged as "an unknown entity" in the combat log.

I'm not sure how it wasn't directly relevant as feedback on the proposed HW power changes. At least here the devs had a prayer of actually looking at it... since at least my initial comment was directed at the developers as feedback about the HW changes. So, uh, thanks for moving it somewhere no developer will ever see it?

What?! You say Premium AT should be STRONGER than Free AT? So you literally vote for Pay-to-win system? Mentally healthy people buy AT, same as costume, because of their concept, and not because of combat strength! So, let's assume, if you gonna make electricity-based character, you can't emulate it with lnferno without other people think your toon is fire-based. So you gonna buy Tempest. Same as speedster - you can't simulate it with Behemoth, because of their slow, brutal combat style. So you'll buy the Master/Fist. Thus l think AT, regardless they're free or premium - should be approximately 1:1 in their possibilities, just w/out FF flexibility.

Selfrez isn't that required for tanks, as for glass cannons, which constantly randomly one-shoted by grav cascades, other AoE's, and if they overaggro boss, which tank don't bother to aggro. If a tank dies in boss battle, then their Threat is wiped, and they begin to shoot right at glass cannons, until they kill them all. So, glass cannons need either self-rez, or threat wipe, and tanks need possible more threat holding mechanics; but while FF glass cannons can do both self-rez and threat wipe, no one of AT (except Marksman, with weird mechanics based on RNG, 50% chance on EM adv), can do any of them, and respectively should receive.

Subbed players don't need Heroic Resonance much, because they most likely run on Freefroms, which have their decent selfrez/aggro wipe options. Conversely AT don't have those, thus this kind of help would be appreciated by me. What to say, if l ran this game, free Heroic Resonance for AT, along with Idle Emote Pack would be 2 of 3 things l would make on the next day.

No one ever wants to answer this question. I'm guessing its one stack and it was never intended to get more than one stack ever. Would have been nice to know this the dozens of times I've asked about this for the last month that it was never intended to have more than one stack on anything.

Thanks for wasting of time, everyone. I hope I helped you from wasting yours trying to get an answer, Avianos.

l think they just need to delete Clinging Flames application from Fire snake - it already hangs Debuff. Just fire damage & - fire, elemental res. Same as if lncendiary Round applied Clinging Flames (Flamethrower MK2 does its own version though, even triggers thermal reverb).

I appriciate it

BUT HOLD ON A FREAKING MINUTE

Correct me if im wrong, but Wasn't Absorb Heat suppoced to heal based on the stacks of Clinging Flames

and since now you can only have 1 max stack, doesn't that mean Absorb Heat is gonna be useless?

heroic resonance is a HEAL . NOT a res.
it gives you 100% health and energy but it does NOT RES you.
I checkd it on a character. as you as you die, it greys out.

Loving all the new content since last week, enjoying the new/updated Archetypes, toying with costume pieces, great stuff.

BUG

With all the new Animal Skulls, the Eyes and Eyebrows still appear.

Edit - I discovered the Eyes only appear under the normal Heads option, but are not in the Monstrous or Bestial options. And since the Eyebrows can be turned off, this is a non-issue. No problems here!

COSTUME SUGGESTION

Please add a Banjo as a Heavy Weapon skin, not necessarily now, but perhaps in a future update. Looking at how intricate the guitars were (which are awesome), we think it's actually easier to model a Banjo. A Banjo's benefit is that it can aesthetically fit a wider selection of characters beyond Rock 'n Rollers, such as: Bluegrass, Country, Elderly People, Cartoon Characters, Horses. This is a request from the COmmunity, and while some of its usages will be humourous, this suggestion is not a joke; we think it is do-able and will be very welcome by players.

Anticipating a scenario where a Banjo is too cost-prohibitive, we counter-propose an alternative: a Frying Pan.

GAMEPLAY SUGGESTION

Please buff the healing on Absorb Heat one way or another. I've been playing on the Rocker Archetype, which I think is my favourite Tank Archetype now, but Absorb Heat's healing effect is so low that it is not worth using in practice.

My in-field experience is as follows. Either enemies are so weak as to never necessitate a self-heal, or they are so strong that using Absorb Heat (which exposes you for a moment) lets them hurt me more than I heal up. In other words, it usually ends up a wash, sometimes a bit better, most of the time a little worse off because I lost some health and the Clinging Flames effect.

Thank you very much, very good stuff.

Absorb Heat will heal based on the total number of stacks of CF, meaning for each target that has it within the AoE. So if you have AoEs that apply the stacks, use that then Absorb Heat. It just means that if you are fighting a boss, you will only benefit from one stack CF total for the heal.

This is why I wanted powers like Cleave to apply more than one stack of it to the primary target to put it on par with Shred and Bleeds.

Crap, if that's the case, I'm rethinking of getting Absorb Heat. It will be underwhelming if I can only apply one stack of CF. Boss fights would be pretty difficult. Here i thought CF would have 5 stacks like Bleeds, maybe even more.

so bascially they created a new power and then nerfed it into the ground before it was released.

Yes, please do this. However, be prepared for many many clones of El Kabong running around. (That's not a bad thing, one of them will probably be mine and all.)

POSSIBLE BUG: Soul Vortex gets cancelled by Blocking

Sorry if this is By Design rather than a Bug. Soul Vortex starts normally, but gets cancelled mid-animation if I Block.

It can happen everywhere at any time. You use Soul Vortex on an enemy, the animation starts as we see the ground starts to bubble up, but if you block too soon, the Soulnado component does not appear. The move is effectively cancelled as the cooldown timer also does not kick in.

The workaround is simple, don't Block until the Soulnado comes up, so it's not a biggie.

I'm not sure if this is input lag, animation lag, a net code issue, or that sort of weird lag when Ricochet Throw sometimes takes a moment to take effect (you know, like the enemies are already running at you and presumably the boomerang hits them on the back of their heads for comedic effect). It's not caused by Internet lag, though, as I've had this occur while connectivity was good. I've seen something similar happen in STO when I punch in a command, it looks like it's activated and seems to start the cooldown timer for it, then it turns out nothing happened (like someone forgot to load the torpedo tubes or something).

Not sure if this is just a nuance of the power, but let me say this: if the cause is the Soulnado animation, I suggest we leave it as is, as that's cool enough to justify working around the lead-lag issue.

So much for Thematic Self Heals if you are going to Nerf the whole FIRE Powerframe main mechanic

kaiserin · March 2016

Clinging Flames was never meant to stack, this should be evident that the only way players could multi stack it was through using flashfire and firesnake. These are pet powers and were incorrectly flagged to be their own entity. These were bugs.

Absorb Heat provides a good chunk of health with just one stack of CF to you and any of your teammates within a 25ft aoe.

Yep!

It's pretty standard :P

CFs can be applied to a group of enemies, specifically with fire patches and easily with Cleave. Even with a max of 1 stack, using a cleave combo will net you CF equal to X enemies you hit with the third attack. So you can still get a sizable amount of stacks. Also, Absorb heat has a sizeable heal on its own without the CF stacks.

If the concern is, "Well, against a single target boss I can only get 1 stack of CFs." then don't use Absorb Heat. All mechanics cannot be expected to work in every situation.

chaosdrgnz43 · March 2016

Well, then. I guess I won't be taking Absorb Heat for my planned dmg HW build. So much for being hyped about it. Hopefully the HW changes would be worth it.

Most powers can get canceled by early blocking -- block interrupts what you're currently doing (if it didn't do this, it would be unresponsive because you wouldn't block until the animation for your current power was finished).

As the most convenient ways to apply clinging flames are flashfire and firesnake, I doubt most players noticed that a nominal cap of 1 existed. I certainly never did, I figured the cap was 5 like bleed and poison.

That's true. I think Soul Vortex stood out because its elaborate animation sequence looked like the power was already in full effect when it technically hadn't started yet, because it looked like the character completed her full emote for the move. It might have just been counter-intuitive, not a bug.

The thing a friend of mine and I were wondering, could that lag be related to how this Power was based on a Device from the Qliphoth adventure? Not sure if something was lost in transition.
