Thoughts since Launch of GU36

Odd the patch notes don't mention any changes to Quantum.

Then why is it that with HL/HB if I do charged range or lunging melee with a precision of 1811 and might of over 3500 I'm doing 815-1811 a hit? And these are not animations that were affected? Trust me I read over your notes 4 times and saw that HB was not affected and yet it was but there were NO notes that HB was to be nerfed. I just want an explanation so I know where to start fixing my character or what I need to do.

I see, my mistake. I just had the impression it was an old styles vendor to unlock feats.

Love to be unlocking styles with marks but hey your call, just for me I am going to go with not even once.
Working on top tier once you have full set you move to next character instead of wasting top marks.

A t6 chest with top stats or an empty item style yeah easy call.

Whereas marks of triumph would give you a reason to run lower content after weekly lock on tier you working on.

Even if the styles were all actually t6 it still wouldn't make any sense. But oh well

I don't understand because I'm not on the "This GU Sucks!!" parade float? This game is continuously progressing forward whether you like it or not. I play several power sets and this update, as well as WM , will change how I play them all. Just because I'm not voicing my concerns like I've just had my favorite toy taken away doesn't mean I do not disagree with what is being done. At the end of the day, this is SOE's game to run and they have their plans and goals for it.

Sure, you can alter them with feedback, which is what some testers have done, but at the end of the day the end result is still close to the same. I highly doubt these changes and WM are going anywhere so you'd better hit a sparring target and start practicing.

Huh, weird... I was getting pretty good numbers with HL on Test, and reliably getting some crazy monster crits using WM-Shield to WM-2-Handed and WM-DP.

As for Chainsaw, I'm on my mobile away from home right now, but when I get back, I'll double check my rotation and see what I was using exactly. Light Weight was hitting damned hard when I used it on Test. Mind if I ask, what are you leading in with and what is your Might-to-Prec set up?

*Added*
To those who claim all you need is 5 minutes to try "traditional" powers and loadouts, maybe you should take a deep breath, respec, and experiment with previous tree-powers you ignored and make up NEW loadouts?

Quantum user here, just want to ask you guys, does anyone ever use Alcubierre Wave in their load out? I love this power but the range on it is terrible, I mean the animation makes it look like it hits everything around you, yet it only hits anyone in arms reach? Plus, with the animation changes from gu36, the animation time for it is TERRIBLE, it feels like I jump canceled and are just sitting there for 5 minutes wondering whether I hit someone or not? Anyone else feel me here?

Meh, I hopped on and nothing felt too drastically different..... If anything I think my guy felt faster... Shrug.

Hopefully I'll get to spend more time on it tomorrow after Arrow.

Yeah, can't even get logged in.

All i have to say , as far as my thoughts on this update.........i dont know what to think honestly. I think i need some time to digest all these changes and make some decisions .

I'm sorry but I have to lol on this. I am HL controller who uses DW, and I have NO problem getting all up in the faces of every single add/boss in ALL the T5 content. It's just I play smart and watch my own butt and make sure that I roll out of AoE range and heavy hitting Super moves.

Looks like they need 18' more hours.

Me neither.

This update has completely screwed up the mechanics. That's the only thing that set dc apart from other mmo's IMO. Weapon mastery better be absolutely amazing because my 3 year load out is crap now. But don't worry hard light is OP as ever. I'm sorry devs and I hate saying this but after 3 years of being legendary it may very well be time to hang up the cape. I kinda feel hurt :'(

Ask john stewart

So you're saying HL is still OP but there's another thread of a HL guy complaining that he's getting KO'ed by adds in battle torn metropolis.....

Yes, your 3 year old rotation might need some tweaks, or your power in General might need some tweaks, this is the start of the balancing so it might take awhile..... Make sure you participate in a thread talking about your specific power to make sure you're heard....

THIS!!! singularity

False, yo. Clipping didn't hit stride for quite a while, and these precision based powers were introduced months/years later. If clipping itself didn't already make it very hard to parse damage balance between powers, perhaps it would have taken much less time for the devs to actually see what was wrong with the basic power damage/functions as they were. WM is intended to make up for the loss in clip damage/derpy animation visuals, so i'd rather reserve judgement until I get to test out WM myself and finally get some kind of on the fly weapon switch option that folks like Jauncho (he still play at all?) and myself have been wanting since launch.

And if WM turns out to suck, then fire and brimstone for sure. :3

On top of the slowed down throwing animations for Quantum the throwing animations look like feces. Horrible GU. But hey, we all knew I wasn't a fan of it long before now and seeing it on Live definitely did not change my overall opinion of it. Spent an hour or so doing Legends...ugh the removal of JC is just painful to see. Once fluid animations that could be continued into continuous attacks now look clunky and just down right sluggish. And I love DCUO so don't get me started on Sinestro. He is just clunky, crappy, "don't even buy him" garbage at this point. They really did a hell of a number with this GU.
