well im happy =] stackable para means in the time it takes some nib to hit 3 stacks of para on me i will have offloaded a clip into him from the old CS and then ate me an anti para =P and he will have to do it all over again ^_^
i was hoping for stackable parashock it makes the game much more fun =] cant wait to see how devistating my meele shocker will be considering the spead it hits at
^_^
For a psi "reload" time, couldn't you just decrease the psi pool a bit to force them to use more psi boosters?It's a start, but no it's not fine. :pQuote:

Generally my Clan and me are against this idea of Neural Overload. :mad:
Dont forget also, that this Neural Overload gives new opportunities for "shit-buffing". PPUs will be able to buff enemies with needless high-level buffs to accelerate the Neural Overload of those, who get buffed.
Will 'Shitbuffing' be able to effect 'Neural Overload'? In other words will a player be able to force another player into a Neural Overload? I hope not.Quote:

We will work on a more detailed version to give you a better idea of what we want to realize with that effect - so for now: Nice weekend!
From the start it's clear it would be interpreted in different ways by different people, which is quite obviously why I said this in my post.Quote:

It looks perfect to me, no need to remove parra if you are going to nerf it that much 25% down from 85% is a hugh nerf and thats the way it should be. Shitbuffs need fixing imo, since its not normly the PPU that is the problem, its the player they are supporting, they make them just to damn hard to kill.
One question, how will this effect places like MC5 were you need a PPU to survive in there, I hope you don't forget to balance those mobs if you nerf the effects of ppu buffs on other players :lol:
Remember that PPUs need to affect all classes equally. Other wise we'll just get another monkocron or something similar.

Please don't say MC5 and the Ceres Labs are difficult. In the Ceres Labs you all know how easy it is, there's endless places that allow you to shoot or more specifically, barrel them without being shot in return (which is therefore against the rules). I hope they replace the current Ceres Labs with the ones with the Launcher looking things inside an actual Lab. Just remove the doors to help stop the problem of people not being hit by the mobs, and it should be relatively fine.
MC5 is generally the same on the inside, but one of the damage dealers is generally going to die at some point. That's my main concern about levelling zones really, not even thinking about PPU's here. They've been designed fairly badly, Regants is a more recent example of that. You aren't supposed to be able to hurt mobs without taking damage back, unless you're sniping them of course. Yet in Regants there are huge ramps, and areas that stop you from being hit.
If those problems didn't still exist, I would agree that those mobs would need to be nerfed, but at present, they do exist, and because of all the ways you can stop yourself being damaged, just leave some of the mobs as they are. That way they'll certainly make up for not being able to hit you most of the time.
I agree, but unfortunately there are many places that require a PPU if you are a Spy like myself. DoY tunnels, MC5, WoC tunnels are three places I can name straight away that even when I re-jigged my con setup, used a PPR cpu and a 5 slot shelter and was still taking huge amounts of damage. I tried them all many times and eventually just gave up. I couldn't do any of the higher level content without a PPU, and I could never find one to help.Quote:

With a PPU you should still be forced to do the same, but a bit less often. That's the opposite of what we see today against most high level mobs. A PPU isn't supposed to be able to turn every single class into a damage sponge and keep us alive permanently, that's why they have holy rezz. There are places you can solo too effectively at the moment without really needing to put in much effort.
Harder solo levelling is a bad thing for some, but, the point of making things harder is to make random hunting teams more frequent. Instead of some newbie coming along and spending about a week trying to kill things on his own, he would instead be told he would need to find a team. This means he won't be running around by himself and resultingly get bored and log off.
By all means I'm not saying the harder levelling off certain mobs should result in getting the same amount of experience as you do today. If anything it should be increased, but only when compared to the amount of effort that is required in both solo and team situations.
In this more detailed version, could you be more specific on how you're changing foreign buffs? make it effect differently by class? just mucho-nerfed?Quote:

You shouldnt really be able to solo Chaos cave but you can.
Mobs are the last thing to take into ppu balancing. Because mobs can be adjusted a lot easier than pvp balance.
KK did that before wihtout many problems so it should be doable again when PPU would get nerfed. What i'd love to see. :)
