Clown Box 2/19/15

This is off-topic but, will the acrobatics backflip ever be reverted back? There were so many threads asking for it to be reverted back to normal, and they were all neglected.

Legends Clown Box was not changed per reports I've heard from PC Test.

The issue is that there's far more viable supercharges than that. Personally what I would have done is make it so it can't be picked up, give it a longer cooldown and add an player controlled breakout function into it and the less time you spend in it, the less damage you do when breaking out of it.

Dont understand before making these unnecessary changes why not ask us about the idea.

It has not changed on live after the update. I picked up joker and threw him earlier.

Dash attack is arguably the best SC for an earth tank and before they changed the shielding effect (it was 50k damage absorption for 3 seconds, now it's 125% of Dom+Resto for 8 seconds) it was arguably the best SC for a rage tank.

Deathmike out.

Just leave it as is. It is fine how it is. Diversity. Mental is fun to encase then throw around or use psychic empowerment. I really dislike many groups only wanting quantum trolls. I think sleep dart should b multiple targets for gadgets. Generally, all powers should b useful and interchangeable. That still is not the case. They don't need to b all copies of the same. They need to all b effective. Quantum stuns definitely last longer than the other controlling powers. So that should b adjusted. There should b an option to encase and stun with all controller powers. There should b for all powers, personal & group usable shields that add to the group. Distract is not a shield And gadgets needs a group shield. It should b that you need other powers of controllers OR 2 controllers of same powers cancel like it does for dps. No more dual quantum trolls in a raid unless there is a significant sacrifice. Ideal would b that you never had the same power in a raid would give the best buffs. Make all the powers count. Still doable if overlapping powers, but reward with group buffs and interactions like gadget trolls work with ice, fire powers. It has gone away from that interaction too much.

I don't want that, its a useful feature which has helped me numerous times both in pve and pvp.

Just like flying up high and spamming ranged is strategy, amirite?

I jest, partly, but you can't call hiding in a box and delaying your inevitable death a strategy.

sleep dart hits 8 so dose gg

Then what is the purpose of it being in the game, you cant call everything an exploit because it puts you an uncomfortable zone, or doesnt makes sence to you, and flight hiding is not an exploit it is a strategy, grab a grounded move and call it a day, and tbh you sound like those players who want everything nerfed.

Never called for anything to be nerfed in all the time i've been on the forums (I believe). And I play pvp for the tense melee fights. Only, they're no longer there because everyone's flying up and spamming ranged. And they actually have a name for that? Flight hiding? This right here is why I don't believe there's a serious pvp community, because they wouldn't let something as pathetic as that be a legitimate strategy, surely.

Flight hiding was actual my sarcastic term for it in reply to your statement as if the name really fitted, you must understand that everyones playstyle is different, some use range, some dont, some just use it in order to find the reason why it exists.

There's a difference between using range and spamming it out of sight afraid of a confrontation which pvp is pretty much all about. And i'm sure the entire communities playstyle doesn't revolve around the same thing (Which it appears to be when I play arenas. Either way it's sidetracking the thread.

Clown box actually have some usefulness in pvp now but I kind of feel dirty for using it

can this update be applied to all encasement powers? moves like envelope for earth and the controller encasements are really useful but frowned upon because they either make you vulnerable to br moved or scatter enemies all over the place making things unneccesarily messy
