Work In Progress Powers and Balance: Introducing Midrange

Noted. At your request, I will not answer your question.

You can use the staff tracker to follow official posts, or read the thread.

On that note, we're going to lock this up, since most questions have moved on to a level of detail we're not prepared to discuss further.

Updated to reflect current progress on status on this initiative:

• First, address Celestial, followed by Gadgets
  • These powers have not been touched by Phase 1 or 2 balancing yet
• Second, address ability and combo-based powers one at a time (Fire, Light, Mental, Rage, Munitions, Ice, Quantum)
• Third, address all weapons to account for midrange
  • This must be completed to properly balance the remaining powers that utilize weapons to supplement their damage potential
• Fourth, significantly increase damage capability for all powers when in non-Damage roles
• Fifth, address compound powers one at a time (Earth, Electricity, Nature, and Sorcery)

This plan has always been subject to change, and we are making an adjustment now. Step four is being removed/punted to a later date so that we can spend more time on it and so that we can get to step five as soon as possible.
