I actually find it useful because it allows me to avoid the infamous Stamina. It just needs to be tweaked.

Well, that's sort of what Vigilance is but you get that from doing poorly. Arguably, Vigilance simply needs to be tweaked so it is soley based off of the number of teammates and not how badly they are hurt.

Minimap is bugged and lava does not do damage.

• The Cargo ship to Skyraider base map. It is at the end of the Silver Mantis Strike Force.
• The lava maps at the end of the Cavern of Transcendance Trial and the Virgil Tarikoss Strike Force.

Also, what do we do concerning maps that exist in the MA already but are bugged?

I'll be watching...

Erm, I mean welcome!

I'll admit that I was aiming for something a bit more glass-cannonish than most sets but that was more of the aspect of making a set that was actually different for a change. I wish I knew who said it but a point was made on the forums that scrappers essentially play the same while defenders are practically different ATs. I feel that most ATs have room for a powerset with more overt differences.

Trip Mine was a lot of the reason behind the creation of the set since I felt a Stalker is the AT that would get the most use out of it due to stealth and having a high damage modifier. Personal Stimulant was the set's status protection power but it has to be repeatedly applied to yourself as opposed to being a toggle. Tactical Goggles is to aid in the offense but I think it would be best to go ahead and add the enemy -damage effect like Against All Odds has.

Since Smoke Grenade doesn't have the placate effect Smoke Bomb does, I can conceed to losing it. Taking another name from the Gears set, I'll add Kevlar Body Armor as a Shield Defense -> Deflection clone.

Looking at it from the view of martial arts from movies and animation, I heavily disagree. From a master, you actually be more scared of being hit with a deathblow than Thug Number 3 with a pistol who can't aim. Combine that with some of the Dom primaries, you could summon flames or contain them through sheer force of will. The only issue would be "kicks only" and I figured I16's alt animations would apply by default so I didn't bother to mention them.

Besides, we all know Brutes would be the ones to get Schoolyard Bully Assault.

My worry is that Praetoria will have new content but Paragon and the Isles won't. My main concern is the starting contacts. That said, the current tutorial zones aren't that bad. It could stand a little tweaking, mainly taking a cue from the Invention/University and making sure that players are required to actually do some of the things like equiping enhancements so they know how. I've run into players who don't know such things but are grateful after you tell them. Also, Outbreak could stand to have a more epic finish since it does sort of suffer from "hey you, come help" syndrome though that could be solved by a simple "boss" fight with a more visually super powered Infected.

As someone who's never played WoW, my problem with fantasy MMOs (and fantast RPGs as a whole) is that it seems so generic. Such and such medival knockoff and nothing of real interest. (Ignoring my limited funds...) I'd love to see a fantasy MMO that actually uses more unique cultural elements.

With CoH, I'd say that for as much as people complain about the lack of an endgame, there needs to be a tweak of the starting content. New content shows that an awful lot can be done to make missions less repeptitive and grindy.

Permanent Phantom Army is something I've never thought of. However, one possibility is to simply make PA immune to recharge modifications.

Depends. As a first name, Kim is usually short for Kimberly. However, as a last name, which I'm assuming it is, it's moderately common in Korea and thus gender neutral.

Intriguingly, it's probably Recluse's wisest move. The Isles are recognized as another country so it is effectively out of most heroes' jurisdiction while many want to lend a hand.

Well this was actually done around I16's launch so it's about a month old.

Here was my initial thought process:

In some ways, Cloaking Device is meant to be for the extra defense since this is a rather offensive minded set. It can hold Defensive enhancements/IOs while the stealth itself will be good in PvP and against the select few enemies with +perception that don't ignore stealth outright.

PFF was meant both to make it unique and to try to make it more survivable at lower levels due to the aforementioned lack of defense and since the set lacks a heal.

I can see the problems with the two. I think Cloaking Device's biggest problem isn't Hide. It's Hide + Smoke Grenade + PFF combined which gives a sizable combo of stealth, perception debuffs, and a +def that might as well be a phase. PFF is sort of on the other end with the combo of powers possibly being too good for the concept.

I'm thinking of replacing Cloaking Device with a move similar to Detention Field. It helps maintain the offensive flavor and it stays pretty unique. A DF clone could remove the need for PFF since it fits the same initial concept. PFF could then be replaced with a less powerful defensive move that keeps in line with the set's theme. Perhaps a +def version of Stimulant that has to be repeatedly applied.
