Quote:Power Surge is essentially Unstoppable with a unique crash. When it crashes, it fires off an EMP centered on you, which is a mag 3 hold with damage to robotic enemies.Originally Posted by Scarlet Shocker
Why does Power Surge (Elec Armour) take Acc Enhancements? And Hold for that matter?
I've looked in Red Tomax on the Titan Network and I'm not computing it well
What am I missing? -
Quote:Never gonna happen. You can start there if you're VIP, or if you buy GR. Because Praetoria was the whole point of GR, and why would they give away an expansion box that's still on store shelves?Originally Posted by T_Immortalus
First, I probably should have added:
"Let free players start there too."
Obviously, that is the biggest reason all the action is in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. -
Staff/Bio Armor for sure. Not sure whether to go with a Brute, Scrapper, or Tanker for it, though. Leaning Brute because I haven't gotten one to 50 yet.
Probably Water Blast with Nature Affinity, though a Plant/Nature controller could be fun, and a Water/* blaster, as well. -
Quote:Actually, if a tank loses aggro to a 'trops patch, they probably aren't doing that great at holding aggro (or the 'trops are being thrown out too early), and I say this from both sides of the equation.Originally Posted by eth_Nargy
It's not so much the scattering as it is aggro being completely dropped as soon as they're thrown out. All of a sudden the tank or brute or scrapper or whatever is seeing everyone around them die, through no fault of their own. And then they'll probably get blamed for not being able to hold aggro.

Quote:No need for an invisible one. Agent of Praetoria sticks around after you leave Prae, doesn't it?Originally Posted by Aggelakis
The game restricts them that way. Get some Praets involved in any holiday event (frinstance, Valentines Day event arcs, requiring a hero to run the arc and a villain to complete the mission, and the opposite) and the Resistance are stuck with the Heroes, and the Loyalists chum with the Villains.

Sure would be awesome if the Prae Chaser stuck with you after your alignment choice. It should base itself off of an internal invisible badge that tells you what earth you originate from. -

All of these are of the Longbow Chaser.
He wanted to see the Praetorian Chaser. Thus far, there's been no pictures posted of the Praetorian Chaser itself.
That's the problem. -

#1: Someone else uses a group immobilization. This actually happens a lot, since pretty much all other controllers and dominators and corruptors and defenders will spam their AoE Immobilize on every single enemy group despite it not really doing anything. This has a -KB effect, so ice slick ceases functioning.

Quote:Why did you delete and reroll instead of respeccing?Originally Posted by SmegHead
For me, I hate the backpack. I made one, got it to 50 and deleted and rerolled as wolfspider {aka huntsman} because I hated the thing so much. As long as that backpack is there I'll never look... well, back.

My Beam/Dark Corr is pretty good, but then again, Dark Miasma is always good.

Quote:FBZ and Praetoria portals both have minimap markers, you know.Originally Posted by SmegHead
Yeah I understand that its cheap to slap a portal up, but when you look at where they put them its like "wha..?" The entrance to Pretoria for instance. Its tucked back in a corner next to a guy puking. FBZ? Hidden in one of the 6 portal corp portals with no clear marker.
I don't mind the abundance of portals so much as I do the strange places they choose to put them. -
Quote:That's a little narrow.Originally Posted by UnicyclePeon
But the Umbral Beast barks, hangs out, and interacts too much. I cant pretend it is a manifestation of Will. Therefore, it absolutely kills it for me, for any non-Magic character.
Tech: Cybernetic implants that you and your dog received after nearly dying.
Science: Your dog was there during the accident.
Natural: (Not going to say a thing because anytime someone mentions "aliens are natural, too", some people have to come in and shout "NO THEY AREN'T", even though the game explicitly says they are, hello PBs.)
Mutant: Mutant powers can do anything, really. -
Quote:Well, the last item on the list isn't that important, since the rum is always gone.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
I see maths.
I suspect it's time to run and hide in a bunker before the math-nuke from Arcanaville hits, which takes into account quantum variations in keyboards, string theory, string cheese, the heat death of the universe, age, specific variations of the color yellow, and how much rum is left. -
Quote:I can confirm that isn't true, as I got the I22 email, and I'm still premium.Originally Posted by Desi_Nova
I had used several trial codes for SG invites/padding and inf transfers back before the days of RMT spammers and Gleemail. but the last one I only got once. apparantly Preem accounts don't get emails.

Quote:You have a field that works better at deflecting certain things, like a coating of ice would diffract energy, and simply add more ice onto itself, as well as keep fire from affecting you entirely by taking all the heat from it. Defense isn't always dodging, it can also be an attack deflecting off a barrier or simply being completely absorbed by a field of some sort.Originally Posted by Netphenix5
Not to sound confrontational (I understand your point, believe me) but it makes as much sense to me as typed defense.
I mean, I'd like SOMEONE to explain to me why my character can be a wiz at dodging a bullet but has to be a sitting duck when hit by a ball lightning. What, the "oooohh, shiny" factor overrode his impulse to, you know, DODGE?
-
Quote:It makes no logical sense, though. Positional defense does, since you would avoid ranged/melee/AoE attacks differently, but positional resistance? You get harmed less by being stabbed with a knife than having it thrown at you?Originally Posted by Netphenix5
Again, like they did with Elusivity? Which doesn't affect every player of CoX (only PVPers) but still had to be hard-coded in for everyone... It's not like they don't know how to do it.
I didn't say it would be easy, I was just expressing an suggestion. And I still think it would be a cool set. -
Quote:They can only be hit by certain positional attacks (5% notwithstanding). And no, they can't just "add a positional resistance", because resistance in this game subtracts from a type of damage being delivered. So to add positional damage, Fireball would have to go from 50% S/50% F to 33% S/33% F/33% AoE, and now every resistance set got a big ol' nerf.Originally Posted by CBeet
Considering Hamidon mitos can only be damaged by certain positions, I *think* it's technically possible for a positional resist set.

Quote:We're complaining about this outfit making characters look like prostitutes because it is an outfit most seen in a house of ill repute.Originally Posted by Daimyo_Shi
Please note that Dressing Sexy doesn't make women sluts automatically I I think very much that is the tone most of the Anti-sexy posters are having here. Not to detract from their over all point that is valid but let us not heap on other stereo types while fining against one.

Quote:The problem is, it's a gunslinger pack. I want to make Annie Oakley, not an employee at the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. If they advertised it as "Western", there'd be a little less hue and cry (though not much, because seriously, more pants please). What people are asking for is the devs to give us what they're saying they're giving us. And to give us more options.Originally Posted by McCharraigin
Hi Chyll...Hyperbole? I just said what I got out of reading this thread. The players want to dress their female toons in the same outfits that they dress their men toons. From what I understand, we want lots and lots of heavy baron jackets and coats...which are very unshapely.
Sigh. I am sorry if I misunderstood, but I don't see sluttyness anywhere on the female gunslinger outfit my toon is presently wearing. If I knew how, I would post a screenshot....I agree it is not a gunslingin' outfit, but it does not deserve all this hatred.
Hate the artists for not giving us man clothing for our females..don't hate the outfit.
Lisa.
Also, you're falling into the fallacy of false dichotomies here, because you can only see "skimpy" and "man clothing", when there's a nice middle ground that pretty much gets no exploration by the art devs. -
I find them at my local Rite Aid all the time. (Rite Aid is a drug store, like Kinney's or CVS).

Quote:Domination hasn't buffed damage in a long time. I was around for that change and I remember the hue and cry of nerf (when it was an actual buff for all but the most extreme edge cases of recharge). They increased the base damage of dominators and removed the damage buff from Domination in I12.Originally Posted by IzzySoft
> Another note about your max damage table: "Dominators (held targets take more damage)". Ummm, no. Controllers get that benefit, not Dominators.
Sorry! I havent leveled a Dominator past level 10. Its just an Odd AT for me! Yea yea I remeber now, there was an inherent White like Build Up button that empowers them so targets take more dame (while held is increased)! Different mechanics to reach the same thing as trollers!
At least thats how i've perceived it! -
Quote:You know there's pretty much zero chance of that, since Black Hole was left in Dark Miasma for the port as Dark Affinity, and they aren't going to have the exact same power available in both primary and secondary.Originally Posted by Slaunyeh
Dark Control T9 is apparently so awesome that it requires an unveiling all of it's own.
I'm still rooting for Black Hole.
I don't know if they went into details on Dark Assault. I got tired of the choppy ustream and decided to watch it later - and of course, that part didn't get recorded. -
Quote:I stopped actually looking at what people put as their location a long time ago, when I realized that most people put a joke location in that field.Originally Posted by gameboy1234
Where did "Britain" come from? You realize his location -- Long Beach -- is in California?
And I've never heard of a requirement here in California about posting a "No Refunds" sign. Maybe it really exists, or perhaps it's a local ordinance instead of a state law, but it's news to me.
