You know...instead of just offing Confuses by not letting them affect players, why not have the Confuse effect be removed when the character exits a duel/PvP map? Confuse still needs to be a part of the control mechanics in PvP as well as PvE.
While we're at it, let's bring Ego Placate up to the same strength as the Escape Artist advantage for Smoke Grenade *OR* bring that advantage down to the same horrible, doesn't affect players state that Ego Placate is in. Actually, let's do the first one only. It's freaking stupid that a power called Ego Placate doesn't placate but a Smoke Grenade (perception debuff) can placate with an advantage...
... Escape Artist is on a minimum of 30 second cooldown. Ego placate is spammable.
... Escape Artist is on a minimum of 30 second cooldown. Ego placate is spammable.
...no?
True. But on a base level, Smoke Grenade may work so well, because it also reduces perception (assuming target doesnt have enough or much INT to see through it/PvP gear) as well.
The point however still stands, an advantage is better than an entire power, and works on every sort of foe, whereas Ego Placate only works on enemies labelled enforcer or below.
Maybe that's why Ego Placate is spammable, because it's a trash power, not "intended" to work well and/or be used.

So implement a Bionic Shielding type of debuff on the target of the Ego Placate which would prevent the target from being spammed with Placates, allowing it to be spammed between multiple targets to retain effectiveness. Have that "debuff" last at least 30 seconds since Manipulator doesn't affect the duration or effectiveness of the placate.

I just wanted to say, I love the Lemurian Invasion crisis and I'd like to ask that it be made a permanent crisis to play. You can just remove the vehicle drop from the pack at the end.
Seriously, it's a fantastic and exciting mission, it's fun and nicely-balanced, and holy crap the design on the Harbinger is just stunning.
Please: keep this mission around! It's also a great addition to endgame activities for those characters at level 40.
-The Drifter has gained access to two new grav bikes: The Talon and the Diamondback. Use their speed and firepower to take out the Lemurian Exocet fighters!
Whoo hoo! Now I can run right out and not buy them, because Drifter Salvage still isn't readily availiable in-game!
Oh gee, you know I really would like to buy as many keys as is needed for that purpose, but... I have bills.
Good news! You can convert questionite to Zen to buy keys, or you can use resources to buy keys from all those people selling them.

However, given the ratio of keys to Salvage, it's still not what I'd call "readily available"...

Thinking about these keys reminded me of a song my dad used to play on the old Hi-Fi. Luckily Youtube has provided the song so we won't need to hook-up the old stereo to hear it.

Yes it is. You open Lockboxes in game and they give drifter salvage. Thus it is available in game.

I know what you're thinking. You're thinking -
It's all right, you're not the first.
"Epic challenge, epic rewards."
Keep up the good work!
PS: The biggest problem I see is newbie players not knowing how to block when they should. That's a player skill issue, not a design flaw.
*standing ovation applause!*
FINALLY SOME MAJOR BUG FIXES!
I didn't realize these frequently-exploited bugged devices were fixed until today. Great job!
Consolidate the currencies! (Please!)
Does your Champion have a theme song? (share it!)
Got a funny in-game screenshot? (share it!)
Please fix the Overdrive energy unlock! (Should help promote thematic build diversity!)
Git Gud M8!
