    What a wonderful shade of blue.

    Though i don't know why number 1 says 'attend the july 25 coffee talk', they said in the chat that all you had to do was sign up to twitch.tv and send them a PM, the drawing will be held on August 1st. So, I don't think 'attendance' was actually mandatory.

    And that's not a pool. So I'm going to take 'origin themed pools' with a grain of salt til more info comes out.

    Where did the whole 'origin themed' thing come from? I thought just Sorcery got leaked, was it just an assumption or did someone dig up something else I missed?

    EDIT: Not say there is not a place for those MORE of those types of arcs. They ALREADY exist.
    Well I think that's part of the problem, it's a lot harder to peg villains into any particular niches.

    For heroes, their personality and motivations matter less, the goal is still 'saving the day'.

    Villains, are all about their personality and motivations because they do range from the petty cat burglar to the megalomaniac mad scientist to the puppy kicking psychopath.
  7. Well there's only one left that got leaked no? I mean, the other stuff was for the new [redacted], so doubtful it'll be in a standard powerset preview, so maybe there's something that'll be actually surprising.
  8. Basically an infomercial for the new logitech mouse. It's neat but probably one of the most skippable coffee talks in a while, you're not missing out on much unless you're a really big tech geek for gaming.

    Genesis?

    When they figure out what it does, they'll let us know.

    No the hip tassels had to be removed, clipping issues.

    What? Heroic Transvestite is a perfectly valid character archetype!
    I just want a freaking MASK. The rest could be fun but really, gimme a MASK. Not the spraypainted on stuff or the really lame partial harlequin mask, a full on porcelain face mask!

    Blueside was pretty decent. It wasn't anything stellar but just solid, which I enjoyed. In fact my biggest thing with these is that I'm actually getting NPCs that I can talk to that -aren't- mission holders/objectives. That's so weird! And delightful.

    Specifically farmed? No, but they realize it's one of the few ways to earn the XP so dumping a boatload of mobs at players was likely a key designed feature of the trial.
  15. Non-female mask that's... ACTUALLY a mask! O_O

    is there a 'clean' version of it or are we stuck with the grimy look?

    Knockdown is knockback, but on a below 1 scale.

    And it'll only do knockback to something that cons below you or something that's particularly weak to knockback.
  17. Farms as a workaround has been in the incarnate system since Lambda. Clear streets and turrets, quit, rinse, repeat. The upfront mob was very likely completely by design. if they hadn't intended it to be farmable it could've been like MoM, lots of AV phases with gimmicks.

    Mmm, no. "is it balanced" is the FIRST question that really needs to be answered in any change. Player happiness is important but it takes a backseat to balance most times.

  20. Well look, the bottom line is that it sucks but the devs have made up their minds. Trials get first dibs on goodies, solo'able stuff comes after.

    The -hope- at least is that it'll come closer together than the inception of the incarnate system to Dark Astoria. Ideally it'll be like one issue after the other but I wouldn't exactly bank on it.

    Frankly though, Hybrid as a new shiny really isn't worth the fuss.
  21. Why would Alfred imagine his perfect wife to be Selina Kyle? He never witnessed any of the romantic fascination Bruce had with her. For all he knew, she was just a jewel thief he took an interest in tracking down, nothing more.

    There's more evidence to support he escaped and survived. It's just not ambiguous in the -slightest-.
  22. I'm still quite amazed that Night Ward has yet to be sold to freemies.


  23. More seriously, both of my masterminds (necro/dark and beast/time) did pretty well going through the Wards, the only time they hit walls were the fights where they dumped multiple bosses/elite bosses on you (Mansion battle, Eternal prison). But otherwise running was pretty smooth.
  24. Yeah, he lives. The movie doesn't give us any reason to doubt that what Alfred sees is any kind of delusion.

    As for the internal shot... he could've set the autopilot and ejected well before, we don't know what kind of ejector system The Bat had. Apparently it was enclosed instead of like the ejector seat on a jet where the canopy is released and the chair jettisons separately.


    Also I was a little sad to see the EMP gun only got use in the initial motorcycle chase. You think he could've given it to someone.

    Invoke Panic - PBAoE Fear (Increased to mag3, reduced end cost, increased Accuracy, increased "range" (I assume the mean Radius as it's a PBAoE))
    Unrelenting - Self +Damage, +Recharge, +Recovery, HoT, Self Rez if defeated.

    Unrelenting honestly seems entirely out of place to me. In a pool dedicated to agro management and control you get a self buff?
    Sure. Place/Taunt + Fear = Self buff.

    It's the same logic as Wombat + Taco = Wet Paint.
