Thinking it over, the order being Large → Huge → Enormous → Gigantic → Colossal does sound better. I went with the order the Hero System PnP uses, but the other order does seem more natural. Also yeah, it would be a good idea to change the magnifier icons to warm colors so that if shrinkers were to get the same treatment…
My suggestion for renaming and classifying the magnifiers: Name Changes: Magnifier (Device) → Magnifier (No change) Super-Magnifier (Device) → [Retired: Can be exchanged for the aura equivalent.] Super-Magnifier Aura → Super Magnifier Super-Magnifier V1 → Advanced Magnifier (Large) Super-Magnifier V2 → Advanced Magnifier…
Very nice to see that the personal mags are making a comeback. The update has added a lot of QoL to them (automatic camera adjustments, being an aura instead of a device slot is a godsend). The current Q price of these in the PTS Q-Store is 400,000Q each (including the Non-Disruptive FX Magnifier and Shrinker), which is a…
The lair is a lot more challenging now, which is good! However in bumping up the difficulty, it's also introduced some instances of unfairness and has brought out and made more apparent some weak points in each of the fights. I've been through v2 of this lair a couple times now, mostly as a tank. It's definitely worth…
What you're describing is known as a shadow ban or a ghost ban. Typically a person who has been shadow banned from a platform isn't aware that they have been. From their view, everything will appear normal and their posts will appear to show up as normal. However, from another person's point of view they won't be able to…
It's great to finally see another lair getting the Epic treatment. For the first pass of this lair, it definitely needs more work, but it has a very strong foundation to work with. I'm excited to see what further revisions will improve. So far I have ran this lair as MT, OT, and a (ranged) DPS. Here are my thoughts,…
Suggestions: * Defensive Combo* A 2-Point Advantage that applies Demolish (at the cost of the shield) * A 2-Point Advantage that applies Reckless (at the cost of the shield) * A 2 (3?)-Point Advantage that applies Aegis (at the cost of the shield) Defensive Combo is in a pretty bad spot right now, even with the buffed…
Have to retype this entire thing since the forums ate the post seconds after it was posted and I didn't save it. Thanks forums. :) General thoughts and ramblings on the Might changes. Beware the wall of text here:* Reckless is a odd buff now, and a clunky one to deal with given Might's current tools. Since Bastion applies…
Not sure what exactly needs tested, but here's a list of bugs I've found, some probably incorrect speculations, and some suggestions I gathered over playing around with the devices on PTS. Not sure if any of this is useful or if the devs are already aware of these things. (Massive wall of text incoming) Bug: The…
The new devices are pretty dang neato. As others have stated, it would be cool to also see Local-Shrinkers, since people have been asking for in-combat shrinking abilities for as long as people have been asking for in-combat growing abilities. Seconding this. It would be pretty cool if there was some way for others to…
I'm also going to voice my disappointment with the changes going live. If they idea was to stop people from growing to building size, then making it so that Mini Drive can't be stacked with itself and/or with Magnifier was the exact solution needed. Making it so that Enrage can't be stacked with Mini Drive was completely…
It's possible to stack Mini-Drive up to 3 times with enough CDR, timing, and nanobot swarm. Maybe more. You can also activate Magnifier afterwords while the visual effect is still on your character. However, that has also been fixed with this patch too. (That is trying to activate Magnifier while Mini-Drive's visual effect…
One more undocumented change: Miniaturization Drive's Reciprocating Gizmo advantage's visual effect can no longer be stacked. (This is still possible on Live as of this post) Basically what that player was doing was stacking CDR and timing Mini Drive's CD to get that big. However with the above change, this is no longer…
Another size stealth change was made this patch as well: Having Enrage toggled on with its Giant Growth advantage will make it so that Super Magnifier/Magnifier will no longer apply its visual effect when toggled on. You must have NO stacks of Enrage for it to work. Even having 1 stack will prevent the effect from toggling…
Haymaker is perfectly fine for tanking cosmics with (not to mention it is still very good outside of cosmics as well). Due to its longer charging time, there is sort of a "learning curve" to using it to its max potential against Ape and Dino. It's all about getting used to/learning that charge time, and recognizing when…
Surprise twist ending: Cryptic [North] won't bother with gameplay balance and will only pump out more temporary events and lockboxes in their spare time while they work on STO and NWO. GentlemanCrush is caught red-handed trying to balance CO and will be locked in a dungeon, forced to work on NWO until the end of time.…
So this team's main focus is CO. (Allegedly) But they also work on STO and NWO. And they have been operating since December 2012 and went full speed in January 2013. But all we got since then are temporary events and lockboxes. (Meanwhile, STO got an entire expansion and NWO started its open-"beta".) Forgive me for being a…
Oh boy. On the bright side, since STO is making a fuss about it and Cryptic pays attention to that game, there is still a chance it will be changed. And pigs might fly one day too.
"No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. Therefore, send…
We're planning on opening more later (as in tomorrow), and I'll post the updated results, but yeah, 361 boxes and no becomes or chariots is worrying. But on the bright side, look at all that Drifter Salvage you got. You could buy a third-world country or something with all that useless currency.
So working with another player who was opening a bunch of lock boxes, we came up with some rough figures. Out of 361 lock boxes opened... * 1786 Drifter Salvage = An average of ~4.9473 Salvage per box * 34 pieces of Mercenary's Gear = 34/361 or ~9.4183% * 23 pieces of Legion's Gear = 23/361 or ~6.3712% * 0 Become Gladiator…
It's kinda obvious that Might, or any other powerset (including Telepathy) for that matter, will never get looked at again. Because it's not a vehicle.
