I'm eager for I16

Sep 08, 2009 13:53

I took it upon myself to play test and I got to say wow! I love the color changing schemes and everything. The 4XP is way better than the old system, and most of all..My fire/rad troller is now super powered! Why you might say? cause now I can have 3 PBAoE toggles going all at once, Hot Feet (I'll probably franken slot it for acc/dam/end redux) ( Read more... )

issue 16

I think I hate the abbreviation 4XP. It makes me think of quadruple XP. I'd rather see P4 or P**4 or P^4.

ETA: 4P would be ok.

I have no idea what this Lots Of Ps thing is even referring to.

Yes, I'm a loser. Can I get some enlightenment anyway? *wry grin*

thomasyan September 8 2009, 20:25:02 UTC

I didn't either, but before asking, I figured I should first go to paragonwiki and try searching for it. It refers to the improved options for difficulty setting. I've already forgotten what each P stands for.

Medic maybe you can confirm this for me but is it me or did they do a few small graphical things to make the game look much better on test? I mean for some reason on test visually the graphics look amazing!

Maybe you are noticing the fix to a bug introduced a while back that BaB's mentioned. At some point they broke the rendering engine, it wasn't smoothing properly. Supposed to be fixed on test.

Man, I hope that also addresses the graphical glitches in the LGTF's final mission room, and a couple villain missions instanced in the Shard.

Because that stuff has been driving me batty for AGES. (And yes, I realize this has something to do with a display driver issue.)

Yess this has to be it I checked my setting and they are identical to the ones on live! So it has to be this!

no other combonation can run 3 procs at once
Ice/Rad/Psi can, just replace Hot Feet with Arctic Air ( ... )

makes forming teams a no-brainer

One exception might be raids, like RWZ. There could be a temptation to build a team with one 50 and the rest much lower. If the leader DCs, then the team is at least briefly screwed. I hope raid teams are built with redundant mentors....

Grav Controllers can run 3 procs not just at once, but in a single power Crushing Field ....

Posi Blast 20% NRG Damage PROC, Impeded Swift 20% Smash Damage PROC, Trap of Hunter 20% Lethal Damage PROC....

From the original context, I took it to mean “procs in PBAOE toggles.” Ice Controllers can slot those same procs in their AOE immob as well.

i meant 3 PBAoE toggles. Now, i do remember that Ice has one, and true storm has one also, but fire will now have 2 that does damage. granted rad's toggles are very end heavy, but with the right slotting they can manage to be just as good as a kin in some cases. what is great about rad that is unlike kin is that rad's debuffs stack, where as kin's fulcrum shift has a damage cap.

anyhow, yes the graphics look SO MUCH better for some reason. The color styles are far out, man. helping out the epics by adding more choices really makes things funner. AT's are overlapping more and more making teaming such a more fun experiance. I start to feel more and more like I can play what powerset most fits my playstyle without feeling gimped or feeling like I am missing out.
