Quote:If someone can fire cold bullets at a fire and do damage, then I completely agree that this set should do Special damage vs. Fires.Originally Posted by Starhammer
Frankly, because of the nature of the set, I would be thrilled to see every power (that does damage) in the set have a "bonus" cold damage component that only works against fires, making it even more effective for fighting them. I know it's a very tiny niche where functionality is concerned, but it's really important conceptually. -
Quote:You don't understand. Retoggling all those powers over and over again just gets so slightly annoying and eats up so little time that it can drive even the sanest of men crazy.Originally Posted by SuperFerret
How is it a total waste? So you have to spend less than a minute retoggling stuff before a mission. Are you that strapped for time?
Honestly, I play a Dark Armor brute. Retoggling's nbd. Suppression would be neat, but some people always treat having to retoggle like it's the end of the world, and nothing will change their minds. -
Quote:Goldside stops at 20, I totally know and hate it, myself. Thing is we've been getting Praetorian focused content for, like, two years now. And FW/NW aren't even a proper continuation of the whole Praetorian experience because of how linear it is, how it forces you to become Resistance Warden, and it's massive departure from fighting/helping Cole and his government to fighting witches, wizards, and undead knights in a place no one cares about. Plus it's co-op to everyone else, Primal hero and villain.Originally Posted by Kirsten
I disagree. Goldside is the only faction that can't reach 50 entirely from its own storylines. They're pretty much forced to go Primal.
"What if I think the best way to prevent the war is to spread the truth among the people?"
"Too bad. (random punctuation) your people. The Primals need you more...somehow..."
Praetoria just needs to be left alone and die, tbh. It's ship has sailed and the devs dropped the ball big time with it. After we get our trial to fight Prae Hamidon or whatever, we just need to stop and focus on where a majority of the game actually takes place; Primal Earth. Fix up it's old zones, make new zones that take place on our world, and fill the zones we have with more content. -

Quote:We have far more Praetorian content than we need, though. It does not need to be spilling over and taking over Primal zones. Crey's Folly would be better suited for letting Crey take the spotlight, while sharing some of that attention with the Freakshow. Also have the Rikti Restructurists poking around and you've got the makings of a great conspiracy plot right there. We really need to make our Primal villain groups threatening and relevant again.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
I know they were just quick points. I've talked about this one before as a possibility of (somehow) expanding praetorian content - ok, the place gets nuked, but still.
The Devouring Earth (primal) are already there. It's *exactly* the sort of area that would enrage Hamidon - human activity disrupting nature, poisoning the water with industrial waste, etc.
Get some hook for Praetorian Hamidon - different, more powerful - to come through and discover it, and the Primal Hamidon. Praetorian is far more powerful, of course - so having the two join up, compare notes and modify what they're doing would be a problem for all sides - survivors of Praetoria would *want* to stop that (they've lived with it,) and a Hamidon that strong is certainly not something either a hero or villain (well, some villains) would want to see come to pass.
And co-op zones got tired about four co-op zones ago. I'd rather they just keep Crey's Folly a hero zone entirely as opposed to shoehorning villains into it "for the greater good" again. -
Quote:Spiderman's popular. After how horrible the third Spiderman was I wouldn't want to see a fourth that does even worse.Originally Posted by Nethergoat
Nothing against the quality of this movie, but I'm not interested in seeing a film I feel like I *just* watched.
It represents a sort of galloping creative bankruptcy I refuse to support.
The only logical choice would be to reboot and not make the same mistakes.
And no, it doesn't represent "creative bankruptcy." People telling their own version of a classic story has been something people have done since the dawn of civilized humanity. -
Quote:In your opinion. I actually find nearly all the villains of this game to be incredibly interesting, and wish they would get the spotlight more. The Praetors are well developed, don't get me wrong, but I sometimes feel like that time spent developing them could have been better used to develop the Freedom Phalanx more. Make them respectable heroes and show them as more than just icons that don't do anything. At least then when States died we'd have more emotional attachment to him than "The guy who gave out that one taskforce."Originally Posted by Pauper
I will give the devs credit for one thing, though -- the Praetorians are much more interesting than most of the villains associated with Arachnos, if only because the Praetorians, for the most part, believe that they're heroes. Self-aware Richard III-style villains make a nice rhetorical spice, but they're a thin gruel as a regular story dish.

- Possible reason to expand Praetorian content (Prae Hami meets Primal Hami in a toxic wasteland) - also a reason for all "sides" to fight together.

Figures you guys put AE slots on sale a week after I already bought one.

Quote:Someone else can dig up a forum quote. Too much work for me. But after the mess of self entitlement that popped up from Staff Fighting, Zwill told us all that we will be told a week ahead of time before powersets come out. This way we get fewer people whining about new powersets not surprising us on the market every Tuesday.Originally Posted by Bullet Barrage
Can you supply a quote for that?

Quote:Crey's Folly and Terra Volta, off the top of my head. Terra Volta just needs to be shrunken down and given higher res textures and it'd be set. Crey's Folly needs a complete overhaul, though.Originally Posted by Kirsten
Let's see...Zones in need of revamp:
King's Row
Indy Port
Boomtown
Brickstown
Perez
(possibly) Hollows
(Maybe a wee bit) Faultline
Any I may have missed? -
Dire Wolf needed to be something else. Something that isn't just Bigger Wolf. That's really my only complaint about the pet's appearances.

Quote:Fun's subjective, dude. Honestly, you still need to do research on just about any of the areas as is. Paragon City is filled with it's own personal history, as are the Rogue Islands. Brass Monday or either of the Rikti Invasions didn't happen in the real world. The Rogue Islands don't even actually exist. Regardless of where you chose to go, you'd need to play for a bit and learn backstory if you're gonna be this over analyzing. Or surf Paragon Wiki and do tons of research.Originally Posted by dugfromthearth
tons of people create ss/fire brutes and level them in AE
that doesn't make it fun. It just means that tons of people do it.
Praetoria is very open to all sorts of themes, anyway. A wide variety of characters can fit in easily. You just need to decide if they're a Loyalist to the government, or a Resistance member. -
Tons of people make characters based on a general idea and flesh them out afterwards.
Just play the game. -
Quote:No, dude, Cheeta was just saying "Even the airbending avatar would tell him that", as in even Yan-Chen would've told him the same thing Kioshi did in that picture. No correction was needed. He wasn't saying Kioshi was Yan-Chen.Originally Posted by Tymers_Realm
If it was Yan-Chen in the pic a few posts up, I'd have no issue. But since it's Kioshi in the pic, a correction was needed.
Thank you for the time...

It won't take a complete rewrite of the code to go in and alter a few textures of existing items. They would need to dance around the code carefully, since it's a packed minefield, but it's not that extreme. We've received new features (item lifting and rotation) and items (hacked telepad) within the past few issues, which proves that it is possible to make steps, although careful and tiny, to improving base building.
So I could see something like this happening, and it would be cool, although not that big a deal, either. I'd rather see them figure out how to design entirely new items and implement those instead without breaking the system, tbh. -

Maybe it's the fact that people who aren't geeks and gamers have co-opted the culture to make money. Stuff like "Gamer Fuel" Mountain Dew and models who wouldn't know Samus from B.J. Blazkowicz who pose for skanky photos licking controllers. ****ing Usher performing at E3.
When I was in high school, my friends and I used to have people trying to kick the sh out of us every day because we played computer games. We were harassed constantly. When using the internet was a social stigma, we were the outcasts but we took our lumps and called ourselves geeks as a point of pride.
Now that gaming is "cool", when actors or rappers go on about how huge gamers they are for playing Halo a couple of times or having run a raid in WoW, I can understand real geeks and gamers who who cringe at that. Like I said before, most are as legitimate as Vanilla Ice's street cred.
IMO, being a gamer is like Woodstock; if everyone who claimed they were there had been there, they would have needed 10 fields. If everyone who claimed they are obsessive gamers was one, high school computer labs from the 80's and 90's would have been overflowing with people elbow to elbow and today there wouldn't been a free slot on any game server anywhere.

I'm not saying he's not evil. But out of them all, he's probably the most likely to be redeemable. He would probably benefit wonders from a SANE mental health practitioner.

Ugh...I keep trying to NOT play this game...it looks SO fun.
Yeah, it's a pair of goggles that everyone gets for logging on. After July 5th, though, you can still get 'em. You just gotta dominate a player that's wearing them and you'll get it, yourself. Like the Ghstly Ghibus hat.Quote:Originally Posted by starphoenix
The funny thing is that it sounds like there is an actual limited time item (before July 5) being introduced that makes you view the world as Pyro would. So you can experience the world as Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows. -
Same. I miss the hero IDs :\

So good.

Already on Virtue. I like it there.
I doubt many people are open to completely moving to another server, tbh
