The closest thing we have to a Dr. Sun (yes, I went there) is the Clockwork King. I really wish we did though.
PS: Dr Sun

Fire/Fire/Pyre Brute
Character name: Burning Lupis
powers effected: Consume, Fire Sword Circle, Fireball, Melt Armour, Fiery Embrace.
Powers stopped recharging after zoning into the Hamidon mission on a Lady Grey TF. Tried logging off and back, Dying, and 'waiting it out'. Still not resolved.

Freedom Storm/Electric Def Ball lightning and Tesla Cage for me. Others seeing AoE powers not recharging. Logged out and back in, still not recharging.

As it says, holds and AoEs randomly not recharging

All that extra maintenance and they couldn't fix the online store?

Right now, with the free Fitness pool, I find I am forced to take a pool power to complete a respec, this should not be.

Can't make a Flight specific or speed specific characters.

Gotta wonder about the impression this is leaving on new players.

Quote:How'd that that end again...Oh yeahMe? I've got a different problem. I feel like I post on a forum made of... cardboard egos, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could get mildiy upset on the internet. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how snarky I really am.

Quote:I understand where you are coming from with this. However, I think you're presuming that he was 'only' powerful enough to punch a gangster at that time.
Perhaps, that is just how he started out, as powerful as he is (because it is said he doesnt want more power), but the only villains around were the mobsters.
Using the strength that can punch through a Rikit mothership on a human face would not be a good thing. He was probably just pulling a Superman and holding back.
As time and the energies of the box were released, that is when he was forced to use more and more of his strength etc. When you face a guy with a gun, you smack him.
When you face a guy inside armor, you punch through the armor and smack him.
When you face something inside a mothership, you punch through it and smack him.
Statesman is not a natural killer, he doesn't want to kill unless he is left no other choice I believe.
I can accept that, contrary to what some may think, but with this premise, we were sold a bag of goods as it was used to show how we too could become powerful over time. I guess were just holding back too. I just want to know what the bridge between what we knew then, ie Well of the Furies, Pandora's Box, etc and what we know now...Incarnates. -

Quote:Flight, Super strength, not to mention the array of incarnate powers. To gangsters with tommy guns, all he would need to do is round up every boss in the city, establish a new order and make it clear that anyone that tried to step up would be "cleaned up". Fear is a powerful motivator.How exactly does "powerful enough to body slam a Rikti Mother ship" equal "powerful enought to stop all the crime in a city?" He can only be in one place at a time and not all crime can be stopped by punching it in the face.
And there is my issue. What is that unknown reason? -
Quote:So all these years States has been pacing himself until someone was powerful enough to stand against him?To borrow one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite superheroes:
"Me? I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of... cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am." -

I think your looking at it the other-way-round. Why wouldn't he simply eliminate all the crime in the city in a single day, if he was as powerful then as he is now? Why not simply end WWII single handedly?

Ok, we were told that Statesman and Lord Recluse were incarnates who, unlike us, drank from the well too completely and gained their power too fast. This idea seems to fall apart from watching our very own intro video. Clearly, Statesman started out punching gangsters and over time grew powerful enough to drop a Rikti mothership out of the sky. This was the basis for our character having levels so that we too could become more powerful over time. Now if there is some variable I missed, I would love to know what it is, but as it stands, this seems to be a glaring omission.
