Wholeheartedly agree. EVERY stat should have a form for melee and another for ranged and possibly even another for support and stretching it out, one for tanking. Unfortunately, you can't even just leave it at that. Because every form PROCS on something. And not even healers want it to just proc on healing. DPS don't want…
I believe the premise in your second sentence is in error. As any "damage focused form" will give you twice what you are getting when stacking Rec, when you compare properly. That said, I don't personally care about topping leaderboards. I do care about my dps being good enough for Dino dps checks and Eido runs. If they…
I would think that Particle Mine + Detonator from Gadget would fit a "saboteur" theme. Allows you to set multiple mines around an area and then detonate them all at once. Not fabulous dps but it fits the theme, in my opinion. And, if you really want to try this, add Attack Toys and maybe the other 2 gadget pet powers, as…
Since Omega Destroid Stomp is considered Ranged, I hope that information goes into the description. As it should be in all devices where some ambiguity is perceived. Such as Invocation of the Eclipse device. It simply would be helpful to have ranged or melee or otherwise somewhere in the description, at least where the…
While testing the repaired PLASMITE device on PTS with the character Dr Weird, he also has an original GEAR + DEVICE item (several of the old things, actually) and one of them has the Alien Crystal on it. Timer has gone from 300 sec to 180 sec. However, when I do a build swap and then back, the GEAR that has the old device…
This device has been repaired as it actually explodes now, and does damage, once the timer completes. Thanks. Edit: Plasmite doesn't seem to be able to Crit, after ~10 tries. Which is intended, I'm sure. Also, it is considered a PET, as most powers/devices that put out "something" usually are. Therefore, it was getting my…
Maybe give us a Trashcan bag that allows us to put up to 40 things into it. THEN have buttons on it. One to RESTORE them back into my pack and one to PERMANENTLY DELETE them. And, to keep it from being some permanent extra storage bag, you can't close it until you press either button. If somehow you just close it, all…
You could be correct. I don't really remember the NAME of the blue TPB gear set, just that it existed and I had zero interest in it. Here's a question for you about eh Eager gear, is it Bound to Account? If not, try getting a full 6pc set of Aurum, Gunslinger, Sorceror, & Supersensory gear. This stuff is Bound to Account…
As you can tell, several of the old devices have received no lovin'. I just addressed one of them above. Another one, that always sees any message I post about gets removed. PLASMITE For a long time now, it simply does NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. Even after the timer expires. Can we fix that, please?
*Sigh* I hate to harp on the subject, but reducing this, or any other device, from 5 minutes to 3 minutes, is still too long of a cooldown. Especially given that you will be making the changes to devices in build swaps. Is there a reason for not taking this particular device down to 90 or even 60 seconds? It's actual use…
Fyi for anyone who wasn't at Kiga when Kaiserin unofficially showed up. She removed the kiga hounds in both instances. Unclear if they have been removed going forward. She said no one will be able to address this issue until next week, as everyone is currently OFF for the holiday. Just wanted to post a comment for anyone…
Agreed. You DO NOT put the debuff on the big, single target Alpha shot. You DO put it on the blast or one of the other lesser powers. One more thing about Cave In: the animation does NOT line up properly with the damage. Meaning, the damage hits and between .5 - 1 sec later the animation completes. This is bad for 2…
One question is from which of 2 platforms do you run the game, Steam or Arc. Since it required an answer, I chose Arc. Even though I run it from it's original launcher, not Steam nor Arc.
Buffs, debuffs, DoTs, and refreshes should always be set to 16 seconds upon application or refresh. Partial refreshes should never be partial. They should always be a full timer refresh. For soloing, I can always see MY buffs, debuffs, and DoTs on my target. However, when in group content, no one can be sure whose buff,…
Which doesn't appear to be retroactive, as I have a few characters that would have done this many years ago, yet no progress is shown on them. And, yes, I pulled up the Perks list, dragged the scroll to the bottom and went idle on that character for almost a half hour and it still didn't even show the Perk w/ little,full,…
While I certainly agree for a +threat Particle damage mod, it usually means they want to make the counterpart "-threat" Particle mod. Where, in all honesty, does anyone use -threat mods? And if so, WHY?????
Thank you very much for the cooldown reductions on these devices. Can we be hopeful that further cooldown reductions are coming? Alien Crystal, Backups, the 2 Becomes w/ a team rez ability each, Fire All Weapons single-charge device from Warlord alert, etc?
Onslaught Villain week items: How do these items "drop"? As an OV, you can't pick up drops except for Lockboxes. UPDATE: These items are not "drops" as I feel was implied, but are purchased from the OV vendors for Guardian (auras) and Villain tokens. The costume drops are 2,500 Villain and Guardian tokens each.
I would agree about more OV targets, as when I started a run 2 days ago, I was unable to complete a daily simply because all of the Westside, City Center, and UNTIL bldg locations were empty as I hopped around to them. My timer ran out as I was circling back to the UNTIL bldg in hopes of finishing before the too-brief…
WHEN Before this change goes LIVE, it should address the cooldown of every device that is 2 minutes or longer. This includes: Backup pets, Omega Destroid Stomp, Alien Crystal, LTS heal/energy potions, etc I'd list more, but this post will either be ignored any ways or just out right deleted. (Yeah, I'm getting pretty…
You should instead be addressing the FEW devices that bypass the intended cooldown. This is and will be met with great dislike. However, we all know that you are going to do it anyways, despite the feedback. So, can you at least bring down the overly long cooldowns on devices that just don't need to be that long? I can…
I don't have a comprehensive list, but here's some of what I know. Others may chime in with more. Moonstruck can only be acquired with a perk gained through the Bloodmoon event. Likewise, there are a couple of other Bestial powers, one is a lunge, iirc, that is acquired some way. Then there are various powers through the…
H4forums is probably correct. However, another device that might be similar: Alien Crystal. Iirc, it does an AoE confuse and is from Q store and sound effect real close to an alien sound from War of the Worlds old movie (not the one with Tom Cruise). 5min cd, so I don't use it any more on the chars that own one.
This is indicative of why a large(?) portion of game content goes ignored. Some content simply doesn't offer decent, possible rewards. Some content offers decent possible rewards but if RNG hates you, well, then forget about it. However, if more possible rewards were purchasable at a vendor, then you could add tokens to…
And to continue on Jaaz's comment, so many players are unwilling to attempt the needed roles. I don't play as often as I used to or as I'd like to. But, most of the time, if someone is new to a role AND they comment about it, they receive a great deal of support, in attempting to fill that role, from other players. Same…
As for Qwyjibo, long in the past, we were taking out the hearts instead of CCing them. The Dev(s) decided they didn't want us doing that, so they increased heart health in an attempt to make that a non-viable option. Today, we can still decide to attack the hearts instead of CCing. This works if we have enough dps…
Debuff apply, debuff refresh, form stacking, etc have all been "hit or miss" at Cosmics for some time. Even with the Kiga dogs, sometimes these apply, sometimes they don't. Which probably also means that actual "hits" don't apply at times. It's easier to tell on the dogs, but LARGE NPCs, like the cosmics ALWAYS shove the…
I'm pretty sure that at least one player is promoted to the top position. What I'm not sure of is, if say 3 players are at equal rank when you leave, does just one get promoted. Because, everyone can be leader tagged. Also, you can promote any and all players to Leader before you leave. It's not like some games where there…
For me, so much of the content is worthless as much of the unique rewards were removed many years ago. The majority of the content I play has some form of reward potential, such as tokens or an actual unique item in the drops list. However, this majority that I play is a minority of the content. As there is no longer an…
This is still an unneeded, unasked for, absurd idea. You are getting feedback already. There is NO reason to do what you are suggesting. And, pardon if I'm being terse about this, but this type of change simply frustrates me and other players. We see no valid reason to institute it. I'm simply astounded that you, a former…
Everybody on Live now hates this. Absolutely unnecessary. You already made the change that if you put a device into the device bar, it immediately goes on cooldown. Fine. But now thinking that the devices need to act as if they were just placed there again for a build swap is unwarranted. Personally, I don't build swap on…
Along with this bizarre nerf, it's time to talk about the devices that have an absurdly, too-long cooldown. Especially in comparison to those more frequently used items because of their decent to relatively short cooldown. Alien Crystal: 5 min cooldown on a device that does an AoE Confuse. Backup (fill in the blank): 5 min…
If you are truly going for THEME = Superman, then: 1. Hurl. ranged knock. very short cooldown. procs Enrage. If you care about Demolish, get the 2 advantages for it and spare yourself Demolish the power. Otherwise, I suggest the AoE advantage and keep Demolish the power. 2. Frost Breath. Can be "instead of Shockwave".…
I like it. Do you mind if I piggyback the thread? ThunderStrike needs a 2pt adv to apply Deafening. While your suggestion is going with in-framework synergy for Haymaker + Havoc Hammer PVD, I'm thinking another route. Electric Vengence and Havoc Hammer synergy. Thunderstrike already has an advantage to refresh…
I tried 2 separate times, spanning 2 hours. This is during the 7/10/24 maintenance. So, hopefully that's the reason. And it will be restored after the maintenance.
Give Resurrection Serum a 2pt advantage to affect up to 5 players in a 50' radius just like ALL of the other rez other powers. Need a 50-100' power that can RUPTURE Plasma Burn stacks. The one in Laser Sword is only a 25' and is for melee oriented characters.
Personal, past experience here. I know the GMs could promote a character in a Supergroup, as they did this for a pair of my characters as I was the sole remaining, current player (for over 2 years) and supplied the requisite information. They promoted my 2 characters and that was that. This was maybe 5 - 8 years ago. So,…
I still have a few, old (I mean OLD), 4 slot bags (still unbound) from back in the day when those were possible as the SOLE reward from drops, encounters, etc. These are blue and purple rarity from a time when purple was TOP rarity drop. So, color me a bit jaded at bags being put back into the drop tables.
I don't have anything to add, but I'll suggest a removal + reason: NEVER take Accelerated Metabolism advantage. It gives a pittance of energy, and has a universal, internal cooldown of 16 seconds. Which means if you had another power with this advantage, it won't even attempt to proc until the 16 seconds are up from the…
