Agent White

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

Paragon's random generator:

Or slip in some of the TFs they've neglected to use.

The ITF could use some love. As could Lady Grey. Or Positron/Tarakoss.

Maybe they thought you were just doing a farm? Because frankly I can't imagine anyone would be dim enough to think they should bring anything below a +3 on the latest and hardest trial that pits you against several 54+3 Arch Villains right after the other. Not to mention the end boss at 54+5, even with the +6 from the wells when it's working means you're on -the same level as him- at +3 shifts.

I wouldn't feel bad. It's your call as a league leader and you made the right one.

Actually, about cloaking device. Slap a stealth IO in whatever your travel power is. Unless you've got super speed, in which case you've already got full stealth when you use the two together.

Retcon the third movie to be a bad dream.

Franchise fixed.

The banshees in Night Ward have some of these powers too I believe.

I was wondering when someone would pick up on them. Honestly surprised no one said anything in beta

Gratz!

I'm not terribly disappointed with the slot, I mean a boost is a boost, but frankly I do kinda feel like this should have been an earlier slot for it's general strength and usage. It's cool, but it's still definitely outshone by previous powers, which I kind of think is going to be the biggest problem going down the line. We all expect the powers to be bigger, badder, more flashy and SPECTACULAAAAAAAAR. When they may have given us some of the biggest and flashiest (also easiest to design) powers from the get go.

First off, respec. If you've got Fitness as a pool pick, you can respec. The Fitness pool is inherent now.

Second. Generally, pick an Alpha that's going to give you the biggest improvement. The default is Musculature because everyone, especially blasters, have lots of damage powers so a universal SO level boost is always nice. But if you find yourself sucking wind often, Cardiac will likewise drop your endurance usage in pretty much everything.

Basically you can use it to patch a hole in your build if you feel you need that extra boost, or you can use it to boost up your strengths.

As for the other slots... Interface is popular for the fire damage and res debuff, but you can pick anything that compliments your build or style. They all do extra damage and/or debuff.

Judgment is whatever you want. They're -all- good and they -all- kill a lot of enemies. A lot of folks pick Ion for the chain lightning jump but the others all have huge areas of effect anyway.

Destiny, again, go with what is going to work for you. Barrier is a great survival tool for those without res/def. Rebirth is good for a self heal. Clarion is excellent mez defense. Really Destiny is the one you'll probably want to build multiple types of for the utility offered.

And Lore is, again, pretty much up to preference. They're all pretty good and most hit like trucks (with notable exceptions like Seers) So pick what fits best with concept unless you're looking for specific kind of support (debuffs, buffs, damage types, etc).

We'll get them as soon and as fast as it takes for them to figure out what they do and how to make them work like that

one thing I'd like to mention, the eye beams may not be functioning as.. advertised I guess?

The pop up text says something like raking in front of him? There were a couple times where Tyrant was distinctly facing -away- from me, like I could see his butt clearly the whole time, and I got one shotted. Checking the combat log showed I was getting hit by his eye beams somehow.

Maybe just me.

I've only run heroside so far, but I rather enjoyed it. I agree that it was cool seeing 'new' Clockwork and Trolls. I've been enjoying all the upgrade makeovers to enemy groups since Dark Astoria started handing out Incarnate upgrades.

The level range is nice too. I was expecting to drop to 40, here I am still a 50, which honestly felt just fine given the trolls getting empowered and I had to step in to save Posi and Numina.

Getting to pick my ally was a nice touch too. I went with Penny because honestly I'm liking her as a hero. Heck her pet made Clamor a breeze. I was a bit disappointed to see the Talons show up though, but eh.

Not a bad little opener. Really nice looking cutscenes.

I will say the Mag trial is the first time I've ever been awarded a threads only reward and I'm still not quite sure what the difference in my participation was. It was on my mastermind, but it was the 2nd run with that character and I did everything the same as I'd done on the 1st run, so it was certainly a surprise.
