with the new feat changes, free up completionist already!

[Cetus]

well, completionist is +2 all stats and skills
which is essentially +1 damage, +1 attack, +1 all saves, and +3 all skills
if it was granted as a freebie, that means it can count towards stat requirements for feats and enhancements <3
that much i like
as for the free active past life feats, i feel that's going overboard =\

I think I can see a problem with it counting toward stat requirements. That essentially saves characters build points for TWF feats and epic feats, which opens up a can of worms that I would personally rather leave alone.

All i ask is to eliminate its position as an obstacle to changing your character, Which is why placing it in a separate feat slot would still maintain its separation from any sort of stat requirement relations.

It's more than that.

Its +1 DC's ALL spells (this alone is unbalancing).

+1 hit/+1 dmg
+1 all combat DC's
+1 all skill checks
+1 skill point/lvl extra
+1 all saves
+20 HP
+~20 or so SP

To achieve the equivalent in passive/active past lives you would need:
1 fighter PL
1 monk PL
2 barb PL's
1 cleric or sorc PL
1 wizard ACTIVE PL
1 arti PL (+1 UMD),
even with this you would be short by the +1 to all saves and +1 to the rest of your skill checks.

Pshhhh....my personal opinion is if your willing to grind out that many lives you deserve it free.

I'll soon be going onto my fourth and final life...all four as a PM and the only only only reason at all I am doing the 4th life is because I made it to 16 my current 3rd life without getting ninja stoned and I will get 8 free levels......the ones I really get bored with easily....for free next life.

I would never go through having to have the optimal gear needed, the inventory madness.....etc....you would have to go through to level 13 classes....not to mention grind out legendary experience that many times.

No TY....I have been playing this game 5 years as it is and there are a lot of quests I just simply can't take anymore....like literally this game often puts me in a sedated state as soon as I login because I know things can get unstimulating really fast LOL.

Its +1 DC's ALL spells (this alone is unbalancing).

You realize that ONE past-life does that exact same thing as an active feat already? Right now, especially after the expansion, completionist needs a bit of help considering it's the hardest feat in the game to get... totally /signed for making it passive (as someone who will probably never have a completionist).

[AtomicMew]

It's more than that.

Actually, it doesn't give you extra skill points, much like int enhancements don't give you extra skill points. Also, half of those bonuses are useless for casters and vice versa for melee. Most of those bonuses are marginal: +1 skill check isn't going to break any character.

[Palantyr]

On the dawn of my 40th TR, I've come to realize even with the effort (more like patience really, the effort level required to play a video game is pretty low) completionist takes giving away as a free feat is too much. I used to be in the give it away for free camp but seeing the expansion feats & destinies has changed my mind.

[AestorTheKnight]

Thats an interesting suggestion.

As I'm thinking about it, it would provide quite a bit of extra flavor to characters if we'd have a bonus feat slot solely for a single free active past life feat (which includes completionist). This would benefit EVERYONE, not just completionist folks.

I actually really like this idea, nicely done! +1

Yes, this has been suggested in another thread somewhere ages ago.

I agreed with it then. Agree with it now - still a great idea!

1 Free Past Life Feat Slot for all TRs!

If you were going to change it at all I think it should work just like all past life feats, I think it should be 1 part passive, 1 part taken.

Skills boost passive, Stats part active. +2 all stats and all that comes with it should not be a gimmie for the growing number of players who have accomplished this feat, it is balanced by having to choose.

With that said, I think that certain pre-reqs (both for enhancements and feats) are too limiting feat wise but the devs know this and are taking steps to fix this in the enhancement pass.

Plus, we just got two more feat slots in the expansion anyway.


On a side note: I do think that completionists should get 1 more pixel taller and have a golden glow as opposed to the blue one of standard TR.

No one deserve to be treat like this after spendind all his/her youth TR...

[sweez]

Its +1 DC's ALL spells (this alone is unbalancing).

With a DC cap of around ~45 on live (not counting cookies, store pots, house d pots, and DCs that benefit from passive pastlives like sorc/clr), it's pretty powerful, although hardly unbalancing (compare to wiz PL active or sorc/cleric PL passive).

Now consider the balooning DCs we'll get with EDs, +1 here or there doesn't really seem that big of a deal any more.

[Urist]

I'm in favour of this idea. I have never personally having TR'd even once, but I have aspirations.

I think I can see a problem with it counting toward stat requirements. That essentially saves characters build points for TWF feats and epic feats, which opens up a can of worms that I would personally rather leave alone.

Not to mention existing characters suddenly having invalid feat choices when a new class is released...

/signed by a completionist.

[Alcedes]

i considered going for completionist. in the end, i decided against it due to playing a feat starved class(paladin). honestly, i decided it would be more beneficial to me to take a more focused approach. (3 pal, 3 fighter, 3 barb lives with a couple others mixed in) than to bother with the completionist. however, if the feat was free and would not interfere with my building, i could see completionist as a desirable feat.

and yes, that is a LOT of work and it should not cost a feat slot. so...

[Uska]

I am nowhere near having completionist and I support this idea and I dont think I will ever get there.

[Ape_Man]

I do not now nor ever will I have a completionist and I feel this so be a free feat for those who are crazy enough to have earned it.

/make it so.

[Uska]

I'd go even further tbh and make ONE Active Past Life Free at character creation each life {after the first of course}

1st TR - Active Past life = FREE
2nd TR - Choose between Active Past Lives
3rd TR - Umpteenth TR - Choose Between Active Past Lives
Completionist - Lose Active Past Life for Completionist OR Keep Choice of Active Past Life - It's up to you.

At first look I was against it but after thinking it through it seems to be a good idea.

[Uska]

I feel like this is a thread for people who already have Completionist. 14ish epic feats without any cost, to the current life of the character, sounds like some major power creep. The feat itself is balanced because of the massive grind it takes, and the fact that it still costs a feat. We don't need more power creep in this game.

Sorry, /notsigned

I am only on my 5th live on my main tr and doubt I will ever finish and I think its a good idea and I dont think it really adds much if anything to the power creep

This would be a bit too easy.
1st gives 34pt build
2nd gives 36 point build

I prefer my my post in another thread long gone silent....

1st Completionist-Free Completionist Feat (13+lives)
2nd Completionist-Free Active Past Life Feat (26+lives)
3rd Completionist-Free open Feat (39+lives)

Theres motivation for 3x Completionist.
Everyone who thought they were done with 15 TR's would now be eyeing up the supergrind (except Star he is already super uber).


Completionist should have granted the completionist feat for free, it really puts a hardship on tight feat classes, forcing many to splash monk/fighter so they can get the extra feat into their builds.

[SableShadow]

Disagree, with all of it.
