Spinnytop half the topics on this forum are filled with you spamming unhelpful at best, usually petty trolls of anyone who dares to complain about anything in any circumstance. If you won't eliminate the behavior for basic human decency after how bluhman effectively demonstrated how distasteful it is, do it for Cryptic's…
Please fix Ebon Rift! It has a great animation but it is an utterly terrible power. Every time the dark set gets a review my expectation of a fix is met with nothing, or apparently, a nerf this cycle. Unfortunately Soul Vortex, which was essentially what Rift needed, was created as a new power. Soul Vortex outperforms it…
If you need to prebuild a resource it definitely is not suitable for alpha strikes. That only makes any sense in, say, grab alerts and such when enemy groups are close enough to carry ego leech. PTS version has virtually no use on bosses or enemies you need to seek out.
They can not compare when Distinguished has the weird restriction of offense. Guardicator nerf made offense/defense less important. Distinguished set is completely dependent on offense/defense. They definitely need to add offense or crit as a choice in each combination.
I would like to see mini revamps of 'subsets.' Expand on the sonic powers - in a way they can be mixed with electricity, storm, gadgets, and might, since each has some synergy. Expand boomerangs a little. Add electric and gadget heals. And probably review heals in general to be more cosmic appropriate and aoe-focused.…
PLEASE add alternative heals. Electricity and Gadget heals would definitely be useful for theme. And give us REAL AOE heal options. Only iniquity with advantage gives you a decent cone width for distance AOE healing. Something that Cryptic has never understood about 'action' game design: action needs convenient controls.…
This is what I mean. I can not talk that precise. Obviously it is themed. Theme is whatever you want. But the quotation marks are to signify how obviously if someone complains their theme was not supported by the game they are specifically speaking of unsupported themes. And that is the core of the issue. You even said it…
Great post. These artificial restrictions just create power niche whack a mole. Frameworks should be an organization tool to help players find powers. Restriction by framework makes little sense. It feels like Cryptic, especially since the cosmic release, are pursuing framework de-diversification as a goal unto itself. The…
Those are not "theme" builds - they are "themed" on a single framework so, of course those work, because Cryptic made those work. When people say theme builds they mean themes other than those directly endorsed by a single framework. It can be difficult to optimize something that visually [so no, Masterful Dodge, etc. is…
They need to optimize the profit. I contend that character bound everything reduces interest and profit. I frequently buy costumes just in case a particular character might want it. But not this bound crap.
This is a problem inherent to any MMO "hard" content when different builds can have dramatically different effectiveness. "Hard" being dependent on build means any increase in difficulty reduces the margin by which a theme build can compete. I have had numerous theme builds dependent on a few OP abilities get obsoleted by…
Wow. I do not mind 80 cents for a slot one bit. On the contrary it might be too cheap since I want the game to survive and have development budget. But lying about this - or perhaps an honest mistake by miscommunication between departments - overwhelmed the goodwill you should generate out of a very reasonable price…
Be nice to the newbies if you want this game to survive. Welcome. I use arrow movement too. WASD is too crowded. If you find this useful I will present my control scheme: Jump: NUMPAD1 Block: NUMPAD0 /bind numpad0 "PowerTrayExec 1 16" keeps block permanently on. Just activate another power or click block in the power tray…
This specifically punishes people who never intentionally exploited the system. Presumably those who created alts to get tokens did so after using theirs.
Because the range is so big people could never have control over WHO they buff especially if they have summon abilities. Though certainly the other limits are incredibly restrictive and should be raised but nimbus especially needs it. The device essentially is currently countering the problems this game has in deficient…
