But hey, if someone *****es about something you use step one is to accuse them of dying to it and thinking it's OP. The real situation is what i outlined in the first paragraph. I have a character mid 20s undergeared who is slaughtering purples with zero fear of even taking meaningful damage. It's become so mind numbingly boring that i cannot even log onto the character again. I like the thought of supernatural power, an energy unlock that triggers on power use instead of secondary effects. I like devour essence as the character is blood based and DE colored red looks like she's sucking huge amounts of blood out of them. And all the toxic powers colored correctly look apporpriate for the character's theme. On top of that the poison also is a fun mechanic to work with. The powers i was talking about are just too damn strong. Strong powers are good, the game should have them and accessable by everyone. Being weak sucks and is not fun too. But being too strong is boring too, at least to those who don't have a god complex.
1. complaining about balance in PVE = lol.
2. complaining that an energy unlock is working very well and asking for it to work poorly instead of asking for others to work as well as it = lol x2.

I also haven't been involved on this game or forums for quite a while and the developers don't speak much at all so i can't know who is who right away.

Yes, this is addressed to whoever does or does not balance.
Sorry, FearAlice. I'm just an artist. I make stuff glow and explode.

You know, the important bits.

I do talk to the community because it's something Cryptic has traditionally done as a largely-unique element of our company culture, and in particular because I took Tumerboy as a role model in terms of how to interact with the playerbase. I try to be a channel for communication in both directions, and to build goodwill and excitement for the game.

But I'm not a community rep, and I'm really not involved with the balance at all.

As far as power armor goes, the next few weeks are going to see some really nice new stuff that you'll be able to use to PEW! PEW! the bad guys with. I'm excited!

Your response is appreciated. I see my princess is in another castle so.. who IS involved with community rep and balance.

Sounds fantastic! :D

Can you also tell us a little bit about the Celestial pass? :D

IIRC, Celestial comes after PA on the review list.

Trouble is, it works so well it effectively removes the whole endurance/recovery mechanic from the set. Give it the 'can occur once every four seconds' or whatever it is that most of the other secondary unlocks have and you've just brought it closer into line with the rest of the sets.
