I would love that. I've seen similar stuff in other games that works well. Add-ons in WoW and Xunlai Storage in Guild Wars (not quite the same, but similar net effect). I am poor and hopping between characters looking for a piece of salvage takes a lot longer than I like.

It probably depends on how you like to play. I tried /Earth Assault and I was in love with it from the first time I clicked Stone Spears. I have yet to fall out of love with it.

edit: I should add what I love about it: SMASH! =) I like hitting things really REALLY hard. Earth Assault lets me hit things unbelievably hard. It's great fun.

I think he means that he used a character slot unlock on the Controller only to find out he can't use the Controller.

Pretty please?

You could re-color Fluffy and think of him as an Id monster if Dark looks fun or appropriate in most other ways.

My only 2 50s are a Dominator and a Controller. I'm not sure why, to be honest. Okay that's not true. My Dominator is a beast solo and on teams. She can smash anything that gets in her way, but her controls are iffy out of Domination. Think of a Dominator more as a dps character with some strong controls built in as a bonus for survival and not as a damage-dealing Controller. It helped me, anyway. I have been playing with a Mind/Psi Dominator lately and she's an absolute ball, and again: more Blastery-feeling than Controllery-feeling. This isn't to say that Dominators can't do control well, because they can. It just feels less central to the concept. Or maybe it's just me.

My Controller is slow, sure and in control when she's solo. On teams, she's not unlike a Defender, making everyone else stronger and safer. Other people seem capable of building Controllers that do crazy damage. Different sets, I think, because I don't do a lot of damage at all so if my controls get resisted, miss, or are otherwise expired, I'm in trouble.

Take all that for what it's worth since one of each at 50 is all I have, and that means I haven't truly explored the scope of the ATs in question.

Though there are mechanical differences, the playstyles are quite similar given the same powersets. The biggest difference is whether you want your Offensive or Support powers faster, and Scourge...which is just fun to watch, especially with a rain.

I find I play both essentially the same, but I pick between Defender and Corruptor based mostly on whether I see the character as more blasty or more buffy/debuffy. But I see Corruptors play support all the time, and some Defenders are right in the teeth of the bad guys, so... *shrug*

Personally I don't think you'll go wrong with either one.

I do, and I get it. I was just being dramatic. For fun.

Some variant hover/fly poses would be neato.

*cry*

I know you don't mean that personally, though. I hope. =P

Those SFX are why I won't even throw Winterblack's ice armor on the team unless the content seems rough. I think I hate it, too. It'd be easier to not do if the buffs were less helpful. I would be sad if all my costumes were ice-people. A nice frosty aura would be a great alternative visual.

On the plus side, it makes it easy to spot my minions...er, teammates...in a crowd.

These are almost exactly my sentiments. I loathe playing this game solo. It bores me to tears. I'm not quite sure why because in general I love this game. Any time I spend solo is on the market, playing with costumes, crafting, playing with costumes...

I just like playing with people, both those I'm comfortable with and those I've never met. I like talking, listening, laughing...these are things I do in a team and not solo.

I will never forget the first time I did the Terra Volta trial for a respec in my late 20s. I have never had that much fun in an MMO before or since. It's lost its shine in the intervening years, but I still like it. Likewise, I will never forget the first time a team I was on fought Babbage, rampaging down on us out of the blue. We had no idea he was coming. All my memorable moments in this game are from times when I was teamed. All of them.

Although I don't mind playing my Dominator (E/E) solo for limited periods of time. And no, I'm not quite sure why she's an exception to my generalized dislike of soloing CoX. And sure, there are some missions I do solo and some days when I'm feeling really antisocial. But then I'll usually go read a book or watch a movie or go running.

Most MMOs I don't mind soloing at all. This one is different.

Aaaannndd....this is why I read the forums. Dammit. I need to think about a respec. I have the whole set in Fossilize right now.

Oh wait, I have some unslotters...!

Wow! Impressive. I went VIP just a few minutes ago to try and save myself some money as I was shelling out more than $15/month...but I think the crown is most definitely yours.

This is always how I've seen it as well. I've moved more to Corruptors than Defenders after their introduction in CoV, but there is something about playing a Defender aggressively that still resonates. My original Offender (a Stormie) dates to the game's launch and when I play I am far more aggressive than the description of the AT would seem to allow...then again, Storm is an aggressive set by nature. Maybe playing a Storm Defender as my first character is what turned me into an Offender originally. Who knows. =)

So yeah, to me the difference is more playstyle, but can be heavily influenced by powerset and choices made within those powersets.

That's me. All I bought were the metallic top, skirt, hair and heels. No casual dress shirt. I suppose I'll double check with Snow Globe's advice when I can get back into the game. I'm both heartened and saddened to see that this has happened to someone else.

This is quite simply crazy talk. Crazy! One must ALWAYS look good when fighting crime...or committing it. Whatever floats your boat.
