    Corlax (along with many others) has been on sale for months Under NPC transformation powers tab thingies.

    I would have gotten the IDF pack but they are males..and changing into a guy makes me walk funny. Now a seer/victoria pack I wants!

    Huh.. this is actually pretty darn cool too , Must be the Devs like some of us are finding it hard to keep up with the cursor in our older years :P

    EDIT: Why are Marauder's abs misaligned?
    Well he was juicing it up pretty good in LAM.. Maybe he pulled something?

    Oh yeah for sure! No I did not mean anything huge the name change was a joke . I was remembering In I22 we got the hacked teleporters, So new things are not entirely impossible.
  8. With all these new and exciting changes in store for us in the future i was wondering if anyone has heard about any QoL changes or perhaps something for bases, like new decor maybe. (Or SG Base name changing HA!)

    I get this part..Yes In a Real life setting you would indeed learn to Box and weave and that would make you tough (So they are still out of order but anyway!) But this is comic book world and it is possible to be tough with out knowing how to fight (Hulk) Or dodge attacks with out being tough Just like (at the risk of sounding loose) you can indeed learn about human sexuality with out taking Psych, trust me.

    Saying that, I do understand that tough and weave are good powers, and from what I understand Innate fitness is what allowed Blasters to get er.. better defense...BUT not all the new content is trivial.. really evrey time i make a Praetorian I wonder if I have lost my mind.. and Night ward is just...sheesh.. I will not play those arcs solo currently with anything but a brute/scrapper/tank. So It is clear the Devs are turning the new content up a notch.
  10. From a conceptual non min/max view point I am not sure why many ATs need to learn boxing/kicking before becoming tough and able to weave..I can jump up in the air and bring my staff down in an amazing cinematic arc before i learn to dodge attacks? Boxing by the way is a sad little poke compared to many attacks Most people have long before they dip into the fighting pool.

    In fact again conceptually for some of my characters they do not hand to hand at all and tough/weave is a representation of power armor..You know like Iron Man.. pretty sure the only thing Tony Stark could box was a bottle of scotch :P

    I have concepts for both Plant/nature and Dark/nature. Don't care much about synergy really, though with plant and dark it is hard to go wrong. For the Dark/Nature I have been wanting to do a Witch concept for the longest time and this seems perfect!

  14. Personally I adore her costume and wish we could have pieces for ourselves like the jacket!

    I read a blog article abut her costume where the author compared it to.. some kind of Dominatrix outfit...I am sorry but I just don't see it.. you say collar I see a buckle you say thigh high boots and we have like four pair off thigh high boots to choose from for our own characters.

    The other comments about it mismatching I can at least understand, for you it's aesthetics. I For one feel it matches just fine.

    I can see it is not Golden aged.. or standard comic book styled it is modern, techy, sexy and fun and yes with a hint of anime. It also reminds me of a costume from GI Joe.

    Was there this much of a fuss over Sister's costume?
  15. Here is my suggestion Give Dark the option to be ...Bright! Yes i know you are now saying "make dark bright?!" and you're giving me these eyes.. O.o. Hear me out!

    First i will start by saying that -I- feel dark is...well ugly.. I just can't put it any other way, It is a Great power set no matter the AT But it is always so dreary and the dark Pallet I find it difficult to make it a little brighter. Now you're saying "But Athena you nub It's Dark! Duh!"

    I say to you..But Dark does not always have to be Dark. Ever have a concept in mind that you just wanted to pair another power with dark. Like water blast in my case but found it nearly Impossible to make DM match and the character's concept is a Life guard mutated by a toxic spill and mechanically I would rather play dark not rad!.. Or maybe a Empathy and you just could not get a nice bright green.. or a Psi but the punk ended up looking more like murky cotton candy?

    Many other powers already have the option to give them light or dark pallets.

    Now to be honest I do not expect anything to come of this but as I was thinking of making a water/Dark corrupter and trying to make Dark look brighter, I thought hey I have yet to make a stupid suggestion everyone will hate yet!

    He's completely ignored the social aspect of the game and is entrenched in his little "clubhouse" mentality. He's just choosing to blame F2P, rather than his clubhouse mentality. And he'll do the same thing when he, and others like him, actively chase away people with their craptastic attitude and rude behavior.
    This and..

    Ah! He's a PVPer!
    Talks about "hardcore gamers".
    Are the exact reasons I quit playing WOW for as much as I loved the game I simply could not tolerate that kind of attitude from the player base. That and I refused to be spoken to badly by people a third my age! If I want to pay to be abused I will join a BDSM club! (Or Make another Praetorian character :P)

    One thing I noticed about CoH is when the WoW elitism comes out they get spanked and sent on there way. There might be one server in CoH that accepts that but I do not play on it.

    Giant hugs to everyone free and pay alike, I loves my CoX!
  17. Ok so at least that is what I call their Sequestering ability!

    I have asked this question a few times on Trials which has usually met with silence or a helpful " I don know"

    Do the No-No Rings affect MM Minions I have been watching and I am pretty sure they do not sequester the pets.. but are they held when a party member is Sequestered? For the most part I always try to keep them at range anyway but on rare occasions they seem to become non responsive and shortly there after get crushed by something.
  18. Oh I forgot to add.. the one good thing that would come from combining is there would be a heck of a lot fewer Scrapper Vs. Brutes Posts and debates!

But merging them today is impossible, because no matter how similar they are in an absolute sense, the playerbase has grown to focus on the differences between them, inflating the importance of those differences to the point where eliminating them would serve no good purpose.
    Yeah, that. While personally I see no difference conceptually and only choose one or the other based on mechanics. A great many vets still consider Brutes to be brutish despite the fact I'm playing a 5'3 inch 99 lb rapier, waving ballerina!

    The way -I- sort the roles in my head (and This is just me) Is Scrapper =DPS, Brute=Hybrid Tank/DPS (perfect for off tanking) and Tanks=Well, Tanks! Looking at it this way you can see how each can serve purpose.

    On a unrelated note... Arcanaville, you have two names!

    /nature affinity

    I am not sure about the synergy with Plant to be honest.. Of course all I know is what I have read on the wiki but nature has -damage and -to hit debuffs which would seem like it would be counter productive with seeds of confusion.

    Saying that I still will make one because.. well it seems fun!

    I read some where else that Dark/Nature is a beast. I am curious to hear more about that to be sure!
  21. I will only address questions I feel able to answer.

    Quote:
    On a team what do you expect the mastermind to do? / What role do you expect him to fill on a team?
    Depends a lot on the secondary as a bot/pain i found i was able to assume a support role quite well( not that i enjoyed it) With traps i fill a debuff/dps role very well. The beauty of the master mind is it's versatility.

    Quote:
    Do you think the MM's role on a team changes depending on the content? (I.E. Does the MM do the same job on a paper mish team as he does in the iTrials?)
    Same as above but like any other AT your accomplishments might be drowned out a little because you may have 5-10 other people doing the same thing you are..(debuffing, buffing,healing,pew pewing)

    Quote:
    Do you consider MM's to be tanks?
    Being new to CoH I have heard this " Masterminds were originally meant to be Redside tanks" I say hogwash Brutes were. Can a MM tank? Oh sure and i can do it quite well Do I feel I can or should replace tanks/brutes? No way. I have always thought of MMs to be a support/DPS Hybrid

    Quote:
    Do you think it's fair that some MM's can slot the unique recharge intensive pet IO's and more easily soft cap their pets giving those sets an inherent advantage over sets that don't offer that?
    Only IOs I would want from those sets are the +Res/+Def ones to stack with the ones I have! Which the New ATOs give us ( the one coming out looks VERY promising!)

    Quote:
    For that matter do you think it's fair that MM's are "required"(need) to slot 5/7 unique IO's in their primary powers just to bring them up to the point where they last long enough to do anything in the high level content?
    It is My understanding that IOs are not -needed- at all that the game was not adjusted to take them into account..again being here for a little elss than a year I am not sure if anyone has ever tried ITrials on SOs. But I use NO purples in my build and the only unique I run are easy to come by ones (+Def/+Res, the ATO ( cheap at 5mill each) and overwhelming force) Other than those i use rather mundane IOs that were very cheap and have felt just as safe on my Brute!
  22. Are there event badges to watch out for like the Nemesis invasion?
  23. Looks Great! The "Utility" Belt is a great touch and the golf bag back pack. I can tell you have some great Inspirations!

    Can't wait to see the female WIP, and don't worry about undressing. As a female player I would happily wear a spaghetti strainer bra!
  24. And.... apparently Twitter is down! A conspiracy to rob us of our last day! >Insert Misc flaming,whining, complaining, tin foil hat, etc, etc<
