How about Energy/Ice? Or would that be less than effective? Theoretically the ice holds would lessen knockback, right?

Please, oh please, oh PLEASE have them try to include the first attempt at forming the Shinkenger zord. I laughed till I was *sick* at that.
This plus the Kamen Rider Double 'violin on the beach' scene were my favorite toku/sentai scenes this year. -

WASD for gross movement, Spacebar for jump, use right-mouse-look to turn and reverse y-axis (I was a pilot, once...) for looking up and down. Mouse wheel to zoom, and mouse button for all powers. I usually end up with 4-5 trays for level 50 characters.
Yeah, I've been told I'm doing it wrong too. Last time I checked, I was paying my own subscription fee, so I'll do as I see fit.
This is my setup too! I even moved it over to WoW because I couldn't grok their setup. I have had people go "you still point and click?" Uh, yes. Am I slowing you down? No? Then shut up and keep playing. -
Sword? What sword?

I'm gonna be hitting CT come next week.
It's going to depend on my character concept. Some will require it - Defenestration Lass, frex, flies everywhere and thus will need Hover - while some of my other flyers just took one of the Flight prereqs as a speedbump. They'll get respecced. -
Snagged Tiltawhirl and Nanaca Crash on Virtue. One's gonna be a carnie-themed bouncer scrapper. The other one's a tank. Dunno which one's which yet.
Also picked up The Obtenebrist on Virtue, perfect for my dark/dark pulpthemed scrapper. -
Crazy altitis freak here too. Made two more characters on Thursday and just settled on placeholders for my characters once KM goes live.
But yeah, it's a matter of goals. For me, I really wanted Singularity on my grav controller, so I resolved this weekend to play Defenestration Lass and no one else. Got from 22 to five bars from 32, so I'm quite pleased with myself. Would have dinged 32 had I not been so blasted tired at 8 PM. -
Quote:What server are you on? I know on Virtue I'm practically tripping over TFs (did about four this weekend alone) and got from 22 to near 32 in the process. Thank you, Virtue LFG Alpha channel.Originally Posted by Lucian Revalde
Please don't make assumptions about me based on a single sentence. I don't just sit in a single area and spam broadcast, I've spent days doing team searches, PMing every person listed, asking politely if they'd like to join a Task Force team with no luck on making a full one. I don't join SGs at random just to make money, either.
(And no, I'm not in a formal SG there, either, on the character in question.) -

Holy hell... can you imagine how bad that place must smell?!?!?

This is going to sound crazy, but I'm sure *someone* has done this.
Anyone got a source for a checklist of defeat badges? I have a hunter concept character brewing in my mind, and I'd like to get all the defeat badges on him or her.
I know I'd get pointed to badgew -, but that's not *quite* what I'm looking for here. Thanks in advance.

Okay, as an Arkansan born and bred, I wish *I* had thought of that name!
Joan of Arkansas. That's beautiful.
But onto the subject of Broadsword: You don't see us because we're off KILLING lots and lots of things.
My scrapper, Androktasia (BS/WP), is just this roiling ball of hoplite armor and sword. Swear to god, she's my own personal Tasmanian devil. Things just don't kill her, and everything within a five mile radius just dies when she gets moving.
Never thought I'd love Broadsword till I saw someone take one to 50, and even then it was about four years before I tried it myself. I regret I didn't try it earlier.
And now I'm about to build a BS/SD. TIME FOR MORE KILLING. -

So, a few things I see...
Is there any reason you have no endred in *any* of your attacks? I see it in your toggles (Some of them rather overdone, IMO...), but I don't see one in any 'attacks', except Tar Patch. If you plan on using any of them consistently, you will end up with almost no endurance. With Tactics running, you could drop the second acc IO in every attack for an EndRed IO, and still should hit consistently.
Black Hole, though I have never used it, cannot be more useful that Fearsome Stare, which you've dropped entirely.
This. Also, Black Hole has an awful accuracy penalty, and you've got no accs in there. Really not that good a power.
Take Fearsome Stare. Really. -
Cause this is getting annoying.
<---DS/FF and loving it, surprisingly, but for one thing.
I bubble my minions before I walk in the door, and when I get in the bubbles are gone and I have to start all over again.
There's no lag other than the usual load time, which is only a few seconds.
Reported bug, or WAI? Thanks! -
Okay, I'm not the only one with this problem, thank god.
Sheesh. I named my demons what I did for a reason - so I'd know who attacks with what/what they do at a glance.
This messes with my visual cues. -
Quote:THIS. I was not here for year 1. I've got no problem not having that one. Kind of stings not having the special pokemon for having both year 1 and 2 badges...but I got over that.Originally Posted by BrandX
Yes for Global. No for purchase.
*sigh* I swore I logged my Fire/Fire tanker in for year 4 or 5 anniversary badge, as she was my only one left with the year one anniversary badge (altitis and alot of deletions), only to find out later, I never did. :/
But I've been here ever since then. However, I just checked my main and somehow I missed year 4 - forgot to log her in, but I logged in one of my alts during that time and SHE has it. -
okay, so it isn't just me.
Woot! Maybe winamp will stop crashing CoH on me now.
Actually, if anyone's got a better mp3 player I can use, lemme know... -
Quote:I'm running a DS/DM (/Pain is just NOT me, I've discovered) and oh gods, you're right. I'm only at 12 but I should be considering this Fearsome Stare vs. Hell on Earth, right then...I'm assuming HoE needs recharge like Gang War.Originally Posted by BrandX
I'm enjoying DS/DM, and I can say, for /DM anyways (imo), it's better to put Hell on Earth off, instead of taking it at lvl 18.
It's a fun power, it's a useful power, but /DM has more useful powers that (again imo) are better to grab before HoE.
I'd probably say the same is true for alot of the other secondaries as well.
Where do you think it can be fit in? -

When I first popped out my spines, they were the ugly boney ones. When I went to Icon, I couldn't find the option to change them. No weapon option. But when I exted out, not cancel but OKed nothing, my spines were back to black metallic.
I didn't mess witih CoH last night though. Tried to see a reflection in anything, then logged. -
Going DS/Pain here as well. I cannot bring myself to roll /Dark again although I love the set. iMaid was enough.

I have but one short story to share.
Me: Katana/WP. The husband: WP/SS.
We decided to try out one of the Ouro TFs.
Yes, the one with the Nazi Extravaganza. We didn't know that was what was going to go down at the time.
I think half of Chicago heard the YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHAW. If there is a mission that encourages scrapperlock, it is that one. So much fun. -
I usually do, and it depends on my mood.
Somedays it's Pandora or bust where I've built a sweet trance folder.
Other times I head to Woot or The Cape when I want to see what they've whipped up for the day.
And then...there is the 24-hour Bollywood music channel that I stumbled upon a year ago. It makes for interesting fights, lemme tell you. -
Sympathies from here.
I'm living in a particularly Polish-dominant section of Chicago. To say my neighbors are subdued right now is understating it. But the Polish flags are out in force now, and more every minute. -
Quote:They did have that explanation at first....but in one rendition it was his mother, Diana Trevor, that gave them the idea for the double-W and whom Wondy was named after. Crashed on the island and saved an amazon strikeforce taking on Hecatonchire - and died in the process. Wondy met her and got the whole explanation. That was during the Perez years...Originally Posted by Lothic
As a quick aside I think it was always explained that WW wore all the "American patriotic imagery" out of respect for the US flag colors Steve Trevor wore when they found him on Paradise Island. Obviously it also played into the whole "wholesome American hero" thing for kids reading the comic too.
(Sorry, it's one of my favorite stories, it makes me geek out.)
But back to the subject at hand. I'm one of those crazies that steps back from any costume I'm designing and goes "That's nice, but can she actually FIGHT in this?" If it has me going "God that's got to chafe" or "my, you look chilly, dear" odds are it will not even make Outbreak. As a result, I tend to 'Legionnaire-esque garb - full body spandex with gloves and/or practical combat boots for the win.
Hex Pistol is one of my exceptions, as she's my love letter to the time I was obsessed with Image Comics, Lady Death, Vampi... Not quite scantily clad, but she's getting there - and there's three-four more costume slots to unlock. If only I could get hold of Desdemona's boots, her outfit will be full of win - and really interesting tan lines come summer.

I was wondering if ATI was worth getting.
I could get a NVid 9800 fairly cheaply (I've had an 8800 for a while) but I don't know a thing about ATI cards or what I should be looking for there.
The issue will probably be memory more than anything else. -
Quote:That, right there? Is an AWESOME explanation for DP flintlocks!Originally Posted by Alasdair
My first Dual-pistols attempt was a time-traveling inventor from 1895. When fired, his temporal flintlocks would jump back in time a split-second and be instantly reloaded.
