How about an arc where players get to beat up on Positron and steal the Flames of Prometheus? And all that created under Matt's watch. Would that be enough to show that in-game Positron is not a Mary Sue?

I called it from the start
Statesman = Jack Emmert; Extremely arrogant, Acted gawdly
Positron = Matt Miller; Was like a sidekick until Jack left and he took over. Present day: Arrogant, Boosts Positron as gawdly (now that his rival is gone), will make the game soon in Posi's image.
Synapse = Sean; Cool, calm, doesn't really hype up his character.
What can we learn from this? Jack and Matt have (at some time) had a falling out. You can see his enjoyment, the way his eyes light up. He talks as if his character is the pimp daddy over all, he likes the pseudo-empowerment. Especially when he's like '' It's all about the players playing with the Lore characters, like POSITRON! OMFAWG did you see Positron? Oh snap look it's Positron again! Wait, Statesman? Yea, cool. Ahuh-uh. Bye Statesman. LOOK AT MY POSITRON! ''
+1 for misconstrued appearances. The age of Aquarius move over, Tim Tebow take a backseat, it's the Posi-Ride now. Keep all hands and feet away from the radiation at all times plz.
Matt can make Posi into an uber-Mary Sue the same way Tim Geithner can put his picture on the dollar bill. -
It used to do this until they changed it. Looks like the old way is back.

Anyone know a Green Mito's HP? With +1 level mod from alpha I wonder if I could one or two shot it at damage cap + FE.

And you drown in them if you buy the Super Pack 'mystery cards.'

No Flappy option for Phoenix wings? What gives? Can you not use the same rig that's in use for the Celestial wings?

Quote:As a Tar Patch specialist, I can see how Dimension Shift will be a great funneling power. You do that by agroing a spawn and making them run into your 'gathering power.'Originally Posted by Fireheart
One effect that I'd say is Missing from Gravity, is a sort of 'funnel' effect - something that draws all of the affected targets towards a central location. It seems like a natural effect for someone who is creating and/or shaping gravitational forces.
For Tar Patch, a spread out group gets bunched up on the patch, however, with Tar Patch, they have the opportunity to actually get through it, or, shoot at you.
With the new Dimension Shift, foes running into it are stopped dead at the boundary and can't fire at you. All the other foes behind them will bunch up at the same spot. Set up a few traps such as other patches or pets nearby and when you release them (or DS drops), pow!
My Grav/Storm will have a blast superspeed with Hurricane on agroing foes and then hiding forcing them all to run into DS. Ice Patch underneath and drop DS. Fun. -
I'm pretty sure that there is a Cupid vanity pet coming (it was mod-leaked info). I'd like to see that in a bundle which unlocks previously level- or event-locked items in the same way the Holiday Pack did and the Roman Pack will. It would look something like this:
SPRING FLING PACK
- Patrician Toga
- Victory Laurel
- Hellenic Sandals
- Hearts Pattern for Tights Tops, Bottoms, and Boots
- Cupid Pet
- Cupid Bow
- Emotes: Propose, ThrowConfetti, ThrowRice, ThrowRosePetals, Swoon

The German Shepherd.

Quote:Nothing in lore says that Positron's armor makes him a Tank like Statesman. When Recluse sapped super powers, it started to fall apart. And even after it was upgraded by Prometheus, it only took one Rikti swipe to the back to kill Positron.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
To be fair, that's not always the case. If you're someone like me who likes the "power armour minigun guy," you're pretty much SOL. There's no AT that has both a minigun AND armour in its powers... That's ignoring the fact that no AT has minigun to begin with, that's easier to solve. There's also no AT that has both pistols and fast reflexes, nor an AT that has both a sword and a gun.
While I realise that those are just the limits of the game, having signature characters that CAN have this really does play with my emotions more often than not.
He's not really a blasting Tanker. Like player costume armor, it doesn't affect Defense. -

Nice.
Yes, and they're also sitting on a cure for cancer and a car engine that runs on water. -

Quote:Not really.Originally Posted by Flower
Hmmm... nice idea, hadn't thought of doing that.
According to paragon wiki "Owning (but not necessarily slotting) the number of tokens to complete a tier opens that tier's rewards permissions."
So it looks like you can skip items you don't want on a tier save the tokens until you unlock the next tier then spend them.
Tier 9 is just a bunch of replenishable temp powers. It's not even really a tier that one can complete. Thus, if you're VIP, then you don't need to 'complete' Tier 9 to start slotting Tier 9 VIPs.
Each Tier below 9 is a tier that you must complete before you start claiming rewards on the next tier. However, each tier from 1-8 has extra rewards just for having enough Tokens to fill that tier even though you may not have gotten around to doing so. -
Quote:None whatsoever. I have 3 of those 5 still blank even though I have 7 Tokens to spare.Originally Posted by shaggy5
Yes the repeatable ones (the unslotters, windfall, etc). I have actually repeated some of them, but I was just checking to see if there was a reason for making sure I get all at least once.

You could try installing fonts which are inherently larger than normal ones.
Scaling the UI, or, Make Windows Big or Small!
Better in game font - 'bars' are your friends!
Easy way to switch fonts -

1. He's going over Positron's abilities.
"He's tough, because he's covered in armor."
Yes he is. Because being a dev, you can give him that quality, even though he's a Defender and they're far from armored. How do you think players feel about that kind of thing?
Because I think that is why there's a lot of resentment for the signature characters. Because here is your Iron Man analog, and he can be armored, and get radiation powers and mez protection and whatever and be powerful, and player characters can't.
Furthermore, the signature characters always had access to powerset combos that players never had... until Incarnates and IOs. Now you can have a mostly soft-cap Defender who can sometimes boost Defense to over 120% on their own. Or a Melee character with a Nuke. We're now in their league... which was the whole point of the Vidoc and the thrust of the SSA.
