Anti_Proton

Gonna apply my idea from the post below to the freight train of this post incase there is something I can contribute.

Awesome!

With Growth, I think every attack should be an AoE as hits with large hands would cover a wide area. Also make the growth aspect a click power that cost no endurance (END cost coming from the subsequent attacks and based of the size you grow to). This might be tough, but let the size limit be dictated by the height of the map, maybe something like 3/4 the ceiling height. If we go through a doorway, just reduce size. I see a problem with using object like Battle Axe or Mace, unless they grow with you (and become AoE only) I know this is one of the really tough ones, but you cant get any more different than this.

If we are talking "Radically" new, I had to go with Vibration and Growth on the Defence and Dual Blades and Street Fighting. I want something that looks distinctive and not a massaging of an old power with minor variations.

Ok "Rain o' Tomatoes" temporary power! Whose with me?

Thanks Culex, I realized it was a bad pic after posting. Your pic definitely illustrates the problem.

Howdie Jay,

A couple of issues I have. If you look at this picture, you see the odd neck alignment that is prevalent in the entire "Full Helmet" set. You can only see it when your running or in a combat stance, but it is really distracting. Also in the "Tech Sleek" set, also in the picture, it would be nice if the mesh could be set a different color than the plate. The neck issue has been around for quite some time (Beta I think) I was hoping that the tech has advanced enough to address this in some way.

That's what I was wondering. When do we get the Statesman faceplate?

That's a good way of looking at it. It would make lvl 50s their own GMs. We all know that the lvl 50 game is much different and giving them a way to create unique missions would be too cool. I also thing we will be able to use all the salvage in more "visible" ways (read:crafting). If this would be the case and if only at lvl 50, I wouldnt be heart-broken. In that way, if you were not a fan of crafting, you could opt out by retiring your character or rerolling a new one.

Here's is one of Germanys' premier heroes Der Deutcher Blitz

I think the entire thing is a great idea. IIRC You get the item, you MUST set a raid time, but you can be raided by any SG in that time frame, but the raiders are blind to who they are raiding, they just know that item XXX is in SGB YYY so roll-the-dice. If the buff from the IoP is really worth the trial and the raid defending, then this could really ROCK. What I am not clear on is if this IoP buff applies to everymember of the SG no matter where they are, or does it only apply while in the SG base?

Bald heads! The tops dont line up with the back of the neck. Sorta looks like a helmet.

I fthis were a contest that would have won! Hillarious!

Did my first Mayhem and I loved it. It was buggy for my MM, but fun. Admittedly, I was confused as to what to do, but after getting busted a couple of times, I figured it out. I loved that my pets respawned after entering every door, even if my assbot when inert after doing so. I almost decided to skip the robbery and just destroy everything in sight.

The #1 clue your in a good PUG is when you are invited at the beginning of a mission and not the end! (groups wait for your arrival and are not inviting you to "help with the Boss")

You know your an old gamer when you get you first PC at 30 and discover MMOs at 35.

Excellent guide. I have found that I tend to have a more pleasurable experience teaming with folks that have well thought out names, with good origins it's even better. In this aspect of the game, it really shows who is giving that little extra attention to their character. To me, as an amateur writer, everything I write I have an intellectual attachment to. These characters (I refuse to call them "Toons") are my creation and a reflection of my creative ability.

Here is a list of the names I have. I rarely have to retry more than once to get the name I want and that comes from many of the tips in this guide.

Heroes:

Anti-Proton
Black Hole Sun
Die Deutche Blitz
The Infernal Eye
The Eye of Egypt
The Human Rhino
Lord Mu-Gong
Fusion Core
The Blade of Nippon
African Spirit

Villians:

Proton (Evil twin brother of Anti-Proton)
The Black Meteor
THe Blind Master
Tactical Assault
The Mad Engineer
Murderous Growth
The Afflicted

What resistance tweak are you refering to? If you are a blaster and are getting owned by a MM, then you may need to look at your strategy. I think this is a great concept when considering that most NPCs and all players ignore the minions and kill the mastermind. Now if you want to AS a Mastermind, you need to take into consideration the number of minions he has out.

the point though is that if I hit the slick with my fire arrow, it should ignite everytime. Fire + oil = Bigger Fire. Although, it really shouldnt be that hard to hit in the first place.

I would love to know how you guys are slotting Flash arrow. I have level 13 TA/archery Defender Falcon Archer and his -ACC on Flash is pathetic. I dont want to be a controller, but thank goodness PGA will now keep me from getting gang-rapped.

Ok, I got Gladiators. Do I just go to the Arena and wait for the next match? How does one get in on a Gladiator match?

Who the hell are getting SO's from blinkies?! If this is the case and people are getting bent out of shape cause other team members are grabbing them, my advice is do your own damn mission!

Sent mine in, but wanted to share it here as well.

The Blind Master

MM/DA

It is said that the legendary Tsoo instructor Master Cho was in leagues with the Dark Spirits and that he had the power to call upon fallen warriors for aid. Those sorcerers that trained under Cho in his White Dragon sect had the keenest insight into the dark arts. Many feared Master Cho would one day seize control of the entire Tsoo order. The assassination order was called by Master Midnight of the Black Shadow sect. Cho killed dozens of Shadow warriors before being overcome by Ancient Spirits at Midnights command. Just as Midnight himself would deal the killing blow, a squad of heroes from Freedom Corp arrived on the scene. Midnight escaped, but not before cursing Cho to sightlessness. In prison Cho became known as the Blind Master and there were rumors of strange voices and dark mist emanating from his cell. When the great prison break occurred, the Blind Master vowed to hunt the Tsoo and exact his revenge.

I hope we see some way to guide our career based on our AT. As was mentioned before, we need a way to guide our progress and the type of villian groups we fight based (loosely) on our AT or Origin. I myself find my main , a science blaster, trapped in an option of only getting new contacts that will only give magic or natural enhancements for doing either DE or CoT missions. I really wish their was a way for contacts to recognize your abilities and reccomend missions that are "Right up our alleys".
