Good try, but no. Shield recharge was there so you shields would recharge when you took break from damage. For progen sentinels that was powerdown, for every other class (except TT duh), that was warp away. That was solo play.
I dont remember mobs shields regenerating either. One good example is the Voltoi boss. One of the group memebers kept firing him when other took care of minions so that shields would not regen.
Shield regen might of been enabled on some mobs (like Nathan Zao who I never met), but it sure was not enabled for all mobs/bosses.
I'm all for it tho. Like the saying goes... be careful what you wish for. Can be fun ;-)
On SD 60sec timer... logout and back in? Formation flying? When is the skill designed to be used? In combat 60sec for just sit there not able to do anything makes it really useless.
just as warp/impulse were average from group members, warp start/cooldown were also average* from grouped members stats.
I know it for a fact as 2004 I made guildie dizzy when went a bit far with toggling warp button on/off (max JE/TT, some other chars)
* not sure if arithmetic average, weighted, something else, but it was instant warp/stop/warp/stop/....
You can't run two EnB clients in single windows user session. There is various workarounds to make it happen and those 'many other paying subscribers' were using one or the other.
Disabling auto gating into unexplored system was not meant to prevent using 5 disposable alts for explore xp.
Using disposable alts that way is very old. Auto gate only brought it to masses, because it required no more effort than warping single character around.
Only solution for that is to either remove group explore xp, or limit explore level range like combat xp is.
You suggestion of limiting char creation is good too, but like denying auto gate to unexplored system, it only slows it down and does not stop it.
tunnel vision. read the suggestion topic how to fix it and you'll see it in action. none of those are viable options and would make the whole experience worse.
