With Going Rogue, we will be able to dupe our rares using Praetorian Earth. It will be gone to the Americans!

...someone had to say it, right?

I just wish some things would move over to other ATs more swiftly. Some sets I wouldn't like to play under one AT, but under another it could potentially be awesome.

Ice Armor/Ice Melee for scrappers would be nice to give them another element.

Conversely, Energy Aura for tanks would be interesting, since they already have Energy Melee. Electric armor and Electric melee could probably wait longer, since it'd be nicer to give them as a set. For an offensive power, either don't give them one, or give them MA or Broadsword.

Defenders would take Thermal/Fire and love it. Most likely pairing it with different secondaries to max it out. I think Fire Blast itself will becomes REALLY popular among defenders.

For Controllers, give them Cold Domination. If they ever get Dark Miasma, then my D3 is nothing compared to a Dark Miasma controller, so hopefully that doesn't happen.

Blasters should get Dark Blast before Red Blast, but eventually one or the other. As for manipulation, I have no clue, that's a new set, not a prolif.

Corruptors should get Archery, Trick Arrow, and Force Fields. Seriously. Oh, maybe /Poison too.

Masterminds would be fine with /Sonic.

Brutes should get a Broadsword. As for others, perhaps Ice Melee/Ice Armor. I don't think the -Recharge is going to hurt brutes like it did in the past.

Stalkers should also get Ice/Ice. If brutes can't get it, at least give it to these folks.

Doms should get Illusion for a primary(As an alternative to making a new one, unless they make a new one). For secondary, I have no idea, they have to make a new one. Dark Assault sounds fine, give them Shadow Maul so they can skip it.

Power Proliferation will keep a lot more people subscribed to the game than new TFs or SFs. And it's not THAT hard to do when it's copy/pasting data over. The new power creation for the secondaries and primaries that have nothing that can be copy/pasted over is what usually makes it take so long... but eh, life goes on.

We can only dream. Until then, go go MA. I wish I could have awesome power set combos like the enemies can have in the MA. Psionic Assault/Dark Armor would be so awesome(And overpowered).

Sometimes I wish we got more blue inspirations in the early game.

That'd solve lots of endurance problems without fidgiting with the mechanics.

Clues are easily ignorable if you need to save space.

A souvenir should be fleshed out, in my opinion. Remember, sometimes your souvenir will be the ONLY way that others who are NOT the team leader will be able to read about the story of what they just played(Especially if they don't want to play it again due to length or team-oriented, difficult content).

Make your souvenir tell the details of the story they just ran. It really works great in the long run.

Actually, the mission briefing, the send-off and all the clues are available to the whole team.

Understand that teammates don't get to read the dialogue from the Contact for your missions. That's where a lot of the meat-and-potatoes of the story is typically situated in.

Arc Name: The Exiled
Arc ID: 65928
Morality: Heroic
Faction: Custom
Creator Global/Forum Name: @Hymnoxlyn
Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate (1 AV at the last mission)
Level Range: 1-50(Level 50 suggested)
Synopsis: Portal technology is innovative, amazing and useful. However, a new threat reminds us that portal technology can also be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. (This arc was designed to be solo friendly and level friendly, but is intended to be played at level 50 with a small group.)

Estimated time to play: 30 minutes to 1 hour

Give it a whirl! Any and all feedback welcome! The arc should bring the fun back to the fight with a familiar elemental group powered up, but not to a frustratingly hard difficulty.

Well, I guess I'll show up tomorrow.

Archetype Sets
As most Archetypes have a new primary and secondary. We'd like to have group shots of characters illustrating that new Archetype powerset. We'd be looking for name & appearance combinations that best reflect the archetypes, primary, and secondary combined.

[/ QUOTE ]

Do you mean the character has to be both the New Primary AND New Secondary?(Such as it HAS to be an Earth/Electric Dominator)

Or can it be only one of the new ones with an old one? (Like a Gravity/Electric Dominator)?

[/ QUOTE ]

Lighthouse? Anyone? Help? =(

I believe the general idea is someone that embodies the primary/secondary power sets best in thematic costume.

Obviously you can work outside those parameters by doing an old/new combo, but if this video or comic is to be featured about Issue 12, you can see that some sets pulling together the perfect feel is going to be more likely to be selected.

Hope that helps to clarify.

Or perhaps force an auto-search of the potential thread maker's thread title and show related threads in this forum, then asking again, "Here are some threads that may potentially be related. Do you still wish you continue?".

Then their excuse of "I didn't know" can't work. Ever.

CTF could possibly work. Force set speeds for Running, jumping, and perhaps even flying(Yeah, let them fly with it, but of course slower than normal. If you can't catch a flier with SJ, the Jump Pack, or your own fly, and the plethora of -fly powers, something is wrong!), and it can probably work well.

It'd make some underused sets a lot more useful, that's for sure.

Frostfire's lair would make for a fun arena map.

How about 1 BF = 33.4% protection from repel? Then you need 3. Then it'd translate easily with the other. You leave emerge at 50% and escape at 100%.

Besides, arn't people just gonna load up on escapes when the issue comes and we can turn 3 smalls into a big at the vendor?

Sure, his powers don't work the same as Empathy in City of Heroes, so perhaps Linderman is a better example.

[/ QUOTE ]

As far as I'm concerned this is pretty much a conceptual coffin nail in any argument that empaths aren't evil

Linderman is more or less a one man refutation of that whole position.

Sure call it something else... change absorb pain for another power, but basically... same set, just used for different goals.

[/ QUOTE ]

He can heal people! Clearly he must be an Empath!



[/ QUOTE ]

He doesn't set them on fire when he heals them, does he?

Does he shoot wind at them to heal them? Or call upon the darkness to heal?

Does he spew radiation in all directions when healing?

I CALL SHENANIGANS.

Type! Click! Post!

I wonder what kind of story Jock has in store for us to welcome our new Cold Domination brother...

*eyes sparkle in curiosity/anticipation*

I really hope this is not all the info we are getting today.

[/ QUOTE ]

As I stated in an earlier thread, we are still weeks out from closed beta and more weeks out from open beta and then launch. So, expect to get something on a weekly basis from now till then. If we just dumped it all out now, well we'd be sitting around going "that's nice, but when can I play it?" So, thanks for your patience and understanding that it won't all come at once.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh come on... even one(1) powerset primary or secondary from any of the other archtypes would give us something to plan on for a week... why hide ALL of them?

Is Issue 12 not going to be released for 15 more weeks and you plan to reveal one at a time each Wednesday now?

That makes me sad.

When's the Chalet open?

I want to skiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
