New Powers OP???

Yes I see what you mean but when I tried to go back in to edit and add it wouldn't let me, and by that time I was replying to the other posts.

But I wanted to add in what I meant by damage wise n the numbers of the scoreboard chasing, they look at OP as different reasons to the 2 you highlighted.

But my questioned still stood in a way that no one hardly says a legit reason of saying why it's OP, they just say its OP because it's a new power, it's OP because it topped the board, it's OP because it is and I say so etc.

The 2 I mentioned were legit reasons I believe need adjusting especially the one for the PVP side of things, but then people mainly only talk about the PVE side, the board, the sparring target, etc.

lol, hmm, any power in the hands of a very skilled player...

no, you can take two player of equals high skill.. the player with the better character, it's a simple comparasion.

And this DCUO not not some super complicated fighting game, it's not that hard to be skilled at it... I'm not talking about being like the top player in the world either, just good

The simple fact that it is on a sparring target negates any conclusions that can be drawn about it, in an instance. Last I checked the game has nothing to do with ones ability to defeat a sparring target. If HL was using the same buffs and had the same risk, then yes it would be a better comparison, but it doesn't.

And you will find Rage quite balanced. Also, any very highly skilled player will destroy with any powerset. The player is OP, not the power.

Also, for the second part, you must not have seen too many end game pugs then. Most are terrible at it.

Why is it that everytime a power comes out someone automatically calls it OP. Like what is that even suppose to mean. Is gadgets OP because they beat a rage DPS in damage out though the rage DPS may have more gear than them. No. It just means that they are a better player and no what they are doin with it. If rage was "OP"then wouldn't my moves hit for like 7k or something like 12k when it was on the test server. Yet that same moves hits for maybe a crit of 5k on good days now that is released. Stop asking for nerfs on powers and learn how to DPS with the power you have. No power on the game is better than the other. One may be easier to use for novice players, but it does not mean that it is better. If anything ask for a duel wield need or something. Stop complaining and learn how to DPS better. This is for anyone that states rage is "OP" and should be needed. Maybe in PvP but who cares. That's not a major factor in the game of DCUO to cause the whole power to be nerfed. Maybe a few moves on the PvP side like relentless anger and severe punishment but that's all.

You realize that in this theory both players are of equal skill right?

Also Rage can burn down a full Android gear healer in about 2 seconds while being immune to damage and debuffs, I've seen it! How is that balanced? I know you're trying to defend the power but c'mon man, you gotta see it from a balance perspective.

Aha! this reminded me of this post! sorry I forgot!

More irony.

What's funny is they don't even seem to have any proof that the power is OP.

I like the point where they are shown their evidence of it being OP is anything but evidence, and they still decide to act as if it is the word of god.

Some people will never be happy unless they can hit one button and win.

Its not OP, its just that the might powersets are not balanced within themeselves so that makes rage look OP. You cant sit there with a straight face and say that electricity and gadgets are on the same lvl. Or that earth is on the same level as hardlight or celestial. Until the might based powersets are balanced, every new power will seem OP.

As far as I've been told (haven't used it) Gadgets can do quite well. If anything, earth and lightning are UP by a good shot and should not be used as the baseline, they should be brought up.

Oh, it'll get tweaked - every power is after launch. But I don't think it's OP. I wish we could just enjoy a new power instead of calling for it to be nerfed one week in (and on launch day for a majority of the population, for goodness sakes).

Fixes it needs.

Don't let the precision boosts stack even if they only stack for 3 seconds.

Slightly lower the cooldown on rage ignores while in tank role.

I would say to raise them in dps role but they are all counterable, so I don't like that idea not do I think it's necessary. Maybe just make it so they can't be used back to back. So if you use outrage you'd have to use one of the others next. But I don't like that idea either.

Fix a couple tool tips like outrage.

Fix rage bringer.

Maybe to compensate for outrages power decrease the speed a bit. Maybe make it as slow as revenge so even if they don't spam it you get a bigger window to counter.

Make rage blast apply the plasma burn pi.

Make mangle cancelable.

That's it. Not much at all. Especially in comparison to other powers.

Rage is not OP but sooner or later it will get it's deserved tweaks.

Just tried Rage today, and I gotta say it didn't seem Op at all, it may had seemed op to some because of the unique combo system going on, Before I brought the DLC I PvPed a few Rage players and owned most of them except of one skillful Rage player.

"Different experiences, different perceptions"

Beeing able to **** nexus last boss in aproximately 24 seconds with 94 cr and 70ish skillpoints is completely fine and not overpowered(can record it the next time when we do this).
Outdpsing a gadgets dps of very close skill lvl by 500k is also completely fine(Talking about Kaisers vid where he dpses together with akagami).
Beeing able to consistently generate ticks that greatly exceed the 5kmark(Granted while fully buffed, but the fight does not last much longer then your buffs do lol) be it might based or precision ticks+ beeing extremely durable while at it and in no real danger of death is also a very balanced trait shared among all the other powersets.
And it's totally not like while you derp away with your outrage combo, the other team members aren't bombarding the targets with blockbrakers.
Yep totally fine.

Isn't that obvious?
People need a reason to buy the DLC and/or respec tokens.
