    That could very well be what it is I don't like. Well, that and the buzzy sound effects when I think I really wanted thunder. =) I think I may want the sound and the fury, not just the VFX. That could be why my Earth Dominator makes me giggle.

  6. Sadly I've parked her. My namesake; my first ever character (headstart vintage which is why I can't delete her to remake her...psychological thing) and for a little while longer, also my highest level character at all of 41. I dislike Electric Blast I think. A lot. I struggled for years trying to make it work out and it was just painful most of the time. I haven't played her regularly for a lot of years. Now she stores my rare salvage, although I am seriously considering making the break for 50 with her just to not feel like I failed with her.

    I remade her (different server) as an Ice/Storm Corruptor which I LOVE. Ice blast is far more satisfying to me than Elec. Then I got distracted by Fire/Cold for a bit and I may even like that more.

    Then, however, I found Dominators (even though I suck at using Domination properly and effectively). Specifically I discovered Earth/Earth Domination. OMG I am in love. It's all poundy and shakey and smashy...I love it so much. I now play Rocker Girl in preference to all my other characters, though I still have a lot of them I still love. She's 39 and busily smashing her way to the top.
  7. Wow, Rabid, that's cool. I need to poke around Options more, I think.

    But just letting the ragdoll effect hit us would be fun, too.

    I'm just glad I'm not the only one. F2P hasn't been so F. =P
  10. For a long time I only played Defenders. My Blasters died on the vine and my one non-Defender was a Fire Tank. Thing is, I played my Defenders very offensively, likely due to my first character being a Storm Defender. When Corruptors debuted, I started making those. Better damage and similar support capabilities worked out well for me. In most other MMOs I play classes that can tank or heal in preference to DPS classes. I enjoy being hard to kill, but I also have a hard time dealing anemic damage, so Corruptors have supplanted Defenders as my favorite general AT.

    I play one Scrapper and one Blaster and neither of them are over 30 yet. I have one Controller worth mentioning (though I must admit to loving her). I have a Brute but no Stalkers and my MMs always disappoint me and end up deleted. I have not yet tried any of the EATs, blue or red.

    Oddly enough, my favorite character now is a Dominator (Earth/Earth/Ice, L35 as of this post). I like the combination of control and damage and the incongruity of being in melee when I probably shouldn't be (I fall down a lot).

    In a game where we run around without pants and punch people, I'd be okay with that. Besides...dinosaurs!

    Welcome back Ash.

    EDIT: I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for Cybored and Shrapnel now.
    Thanks!

    I'm mostly on Virtue right now, but I've unlocked all my Justice characters too, and got invited to an SG with Cinn just in time for me to get busy and now I'm probably dropped from it. /sigh

    I was subbed off and on for well over three, maybe close to 4 years, so I'm...Tier 7? I'll be sure to add those channels, thanks. =)

    Ros:

    I always assumed ITF meant Incarnate Task Force and that I wouldn't be able to play those. There I go with my assumptions again. Geeze, you'd think I'd learn. At any rate, the Invention license is one thing I spend points on so I should be good there.

    Oh crap, I just totally threadjacked this thing, I'm so sorry Aett! Back to the topic at hand!

    Re: Psychic Armor...

    How would that work?

    More...

    16. Yes, as I understand my poor WP tank has a bad taunt aura. It would explain a few things (well, so would the fact I'm only 27, but that's neither here nor there).
    19. Pretty please.
    21. Giddy at the thought.

    That's all I got. =)

    Can I do ITFs as a Preemie?

    Turrets as mobs?

    Well, I'm willing to bet you didn't spend the run immobilizing them like I did, before I realized what was going on. I blame an 8-person team with 4 MMs for the oversight. =P

    Yep. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
  15. If there are other carp dangers, I may wish to remain ignorant, just for the sake of my sanity.

    More animations would be amazing. Those little touches are part of why I still love this game's aesthetics, despite the warts (how old ARE all those cars on Paragon's streets, and why are there only about 16 per neighborhood? - I think I understand why, but it's a visual/aesthetic quirk for sure). In fact, CoX seems to have better overall animation and camera control that some other games launched this year (SWTOR, frex). To me, at least.

    As for 10, yes, I got frustrated with her and parked her and only trot her out because she's my first ever character and I'm attached. But I have a newfound love and we'll see how that one does. Then I can experience the imbalance firsthand! Dominator pools, here I come.
  16. 1. At first, I thought, "Ash, aren't Pain and Emp pretty much the same?" Then I went and compared them and I'm on board for this. The first 4 powers threw me and having never played Emp before I started my Pain Corruptor, I just made assumptions. Silly me.
    5. And maybe consider some alternate models for some sets?
    7. Carp? Like the fish?
    8. More costume options to get Ashley buying more points? Grrr...
    9. Another thing I didn't really notice until you mentioned it. Interesting. Though at least I can color some stuff so I'm more or less happy, but this would be very cool.
    10. After all this time, my highest level character is only 41. I should do something about that.

    I hope you get at least something on your list!

    Exactly. I listened to a man in his 50s talk once about how much he loved Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, but he wouldn't finish watching the Pacific because there are apparently breasts?

    Oh well. The pic doesn't bother me.
  18. Zippie,

    I play on Justice, Virtue and Protector mostly, so I can only speak to those. Virtue is always hopping. Justice isn't as busy but it's still really active and I see a lot of other players. It was my first home here. Protector seems fairly sparse IME.

    FWIW

    And in doing so some of us have spent more now that the game is 'free' than we did in a similar timeframe while subbed. Well, maybe it's just me. I'm kinda stupid that way. =/
  20. I tend to run this with my new characters until I hit 22, then never look back. Does this make me a bad person?

    Also, I like the idea Rebel Scum had for giving LFG more options. That said, this is still one of the easiest games to team in that I've ever played, so... *shrug*

    And I'm a Preemie, FWIW.

    I suppose you haven't played a Storm primary? I get kicked when they see my set or no invite comes after a query about my primary all the time.

    I do have to agree that I've never seen anyone care about the secondary before.
  22. If the Devs had a secret plan, I think I know what it was.

    It was to give those with higher level characters something to spend their influence on after they'd leveled their alts.
