See that is the thing that is really driving me up the wall on this Z, the devs for this game are loving amazing. They REALLY are. Honest to god more successful MMOs wouldn't be where they are today if it wasn't from them cribbing massively from this game. I know Synapse is open to math and valid input but ask Oni, he knows from experience I can't argue a logical argument that well at times no matter how right it is. Especially when I am somewhat fervent about the thing. Not to mention I personally don't have the time to do more than compare sets side-by-side at 50. Even that was a chore. Believe it or not I do have a job and a family, and *gasp* I go to the gym. My anecdotal opinion on the set is based completely off what I am observing from gameplay. Actual. Gameplay. I'm not JUST killing pylons over and over, that test is done and the set will NOT be beat except on AV targets. Considering the state of the set before the nerfs I thought this was an acceptable trade.


edit: holy poo poo I am getting way to mad over this. The hell is wrong with me.

Quick, someone tell a dick joke.

You need a proxy.

Someone has to have a Tommy > pubbie translator.

So, for the greater part of the day I've been trying to find an elegant solution for adding value and distinction between the various Adaptations and I'd like to propose an idea and get your reaction:

1) Not having any Adaptation active provides no bonus.
2) Not having any Adaptation active AND owning Adaptation gives you a global Endurance Discount and a minor recovery boost.
3) Defensive Adaptation decreases damage by ~20%.
4) Defensive Adaptation increases defensive bonuses on powers by a flat percentage. Such bonuses include: +regen, +max HP, +def, +res and -dmg debuffs.
5) Offensive Adaptation decreases damage resistance by ~7.5% to 10%.
6) Offensive Adaptation grants a flat damage, to hit and recharge bonus. Additionally it will improve any offensive debuffs like -regen and -resistance. Damage on Genetic Contamination will be increased. Lastly, all owned powers that can be slotted for damage will proc a very small amount of toxic damage while this adaptation is active.
7) Regeneration will be removed from Hardened Carapace and the regeneration in Inexhaustible will be increased.
8) If it's possible I can also look into having Defensive Adaptation bonuses enhanceable. NOTE: If I do go this route, then this means I can only improve existing attributes in a power and can't add new ones. What I mean by this is a +Res toggle will have its +Res boosted. It will not get +Regen or +Defense as an enhanceable bonus.

For the most part, yeah. But you're giving up some awesome buffs to get it. This was brought up one the forums and ignored. I'm just going off what I've heard as the "official" response as to why Hybrid isn't perma, that being one of the primary reasons, apparently.

Initially the version from Destiny wasn't going to be perma, but they gave in and let the khelds have their fun.


And so they added something like mag 40~50 status effects, that stack, in UG to make up for it.

I'm still not seeing what the problem is of having the mag 10 protection from Melee Core at all times. Heck, I'd be happy with mag 2. You'll still get stunned if a few stuns make it through your Defense, it happens to a lot of actual armor sets, too.

Yeah. We give the devs poo poo on occasion, but honestly, CoX gets more free content and QoL improvements in a year then most MMOs get in a lifetime. Not to mention the devs not only go to cons, but hang out on the forums a lot and answer questions. Most MMO devs consider themselves head and shoulders above the unwashed masses of players... assuming that the bean counters haven't fired them after launch.

Man I really want to come back and play, but I wish they would release more than one loving powerset at a time. An armor set like bio just isn't enough to get me back into the game. Armor sets are way too passive and just don't change the feel of the game for me like a support, offense, or control set does. I'll be back when they release a few more powersets (half a year at the rate they are slowly feeding them out).

They... often do? Water Blast is coming out before Bio, which will likely come out at the same time as Nature Affinity, three new sets came out relatively recently (Staff Fighting, Darkness Control, and Darkness Affinity), which were on the heels of Street Justice and Titan Weapons and Beast Mastery and Time Manipulation and Beam Rifle and and and...

I mean, even though you have to pay for most of them, the number of powersets they've put out since they went F2P has increased enormously, and complaining that they're going too slow is just kinda silly and I'm not sure what your basis for comparison is.
