actually, NPC teleportation doesn't need line of sight, remember? The ONLY thing that restricts it is going up inclined floors.

Well, the resistance seemed to be having fun with their little code talk, so we didn't wanna be left out.

I think we might have some copyright issues there.
would be cool if we could get some artists to make some nice music for Pocket D and Studio 55 to cycle through than just repeating the same one minute track over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

That *******!

I thought that (toy maker villain) was Clockwork King? Though I kind of see what you mean. His soldiers look like tin Soldiers, and he started out as a toy maker. But then there's also Praetoria, as I mentioned. Sure, the 'evil alternate universe' is a staple in super hero comic books, but going as deep as we have with it, it hardly fits that anymore, and now it's a Bright and Shiny, Cyberpunk, Dystopia.

And about the only problem is that tights tend to be reserved for the elite in most comic books, if I recall. The Arch-villains at the heads of their organizations. Generally, in superhero comic books, as I recall, the tighter the guy or girl's outfit, the higher up they were.
Though I do see the point there too. I mean, besides Longbow, it might be nice to see the Outcasts get updated and maybe have a new leader take charge after the Hollows arcs (my vote for someone who uses electricity and stone in some forms as a contrast to Frostfire) and maybe we end up seeing some of the higher ups start donning tights, either as they, themselves dreamed of being a hero (or a truly great villain than a lackey) and have turned themselves into a warped parody of their own dreams.

SO THAT explains why they're in the future ouro. apparently, cole wants to save Praetoria from needing to grind Ouro flashbacks.

or doesn't want people to ouro-flashback dead contacts back to life and constantly flip flop between loyalist and Resistance.

I'm not sure the genre argument can be brought up here. The only thing that seems to truly define the concept of 'super hero' is that they're usually set in a modern or near modern time setting. After that, it seems it's all free game.

I mean, it's even broken in-game already. Sure Nemesis fills the Niche of the 'immortal-chess master-genius-super villain', but making him a steampunk seemed pretty arbitrary. Using older look soldier uniforms, sure, but an absolute refusal to use anything not steam-powered (Like how they have NO quantum gunners and only contract Void Hunters) that's magically superior to conventional tech and is still able to produce force fields, jet engines, portal tech, etc. etc.? Now you're just BSing me, original devs. (And I don't mean broadsword. Though secretly, I suspect Nemesis of cheating and only using steampunk aesthetics. After all, Nuclear reactors technically work on steam.)

but you know what? In the Super Hero comic book genre, no one bats an eye at that sort of thing, this is because the Super hero genre is extremely diverse and dynamic, and always adapting and being inspired by different genres.
Sci-fi and fantasy being the major ones, but even then you get shades of grey within genre. (And hey! what do you know? Praetoria is kind of a Shades of Grey of the Genre! I mean it's a bright, cyber-punk-dystopia!)

For tough, sure. but Temp invul for Defenders?
also, I've checked it. It's reading that way in both the PvE and PvP descriptions.

Well, if you're a REALLY repulsive guy stroking them, it'll be the perfect gambit!
They'll be so grossed out they'll attempt to take legal action to get rid of you, but instead they'll end up in jail! (Though they'll be happy anyway since they won't have to be stroked by you.)

Well, the All Things Art: Building Edition seems to show there's good support.
But for the sake of the record, revamping and updating old zones is a project that has my vote.

I can understand that. I mean in my mind, about the only type of action figures that would be worthy of City of (and various other franchises) would be Figma, Revlotech, or something like a Gundam model kit. At least for mechanical designs. (Hey, kids, wouldn't you want a Perfect Grade IDF Warwalker model kit?)

Positron, you're not going to torment Nobel Savage with them, are you?

Considering that even the Warden Resistance path involves getting a lot of blood on your hands and not even the worst you do in any of the Loyalist paths compare with the Par Course of the Crusader story-line... I'd say the choice still holds interest.

Somewhat making this worse is the fact that all click-based mez protections are for defense based sets, so at higher levels and difficulties with more enemies that would create a stacking mez effect... You're not even getting touched by most mezzes in the first place.

In the few times it's happened (usually an elude crash mid-fight) it saved me because I was able to pop my other inspirations without needing a breakfree first, even when being hit with mezzes.

The elude crash scenario might have been the logic behind making /nin and /sr mez protects toggles, I'm not sure about Active Defense though, but basically a scenario which let you keep your mez protection even through tier nine crashes. (And possible also from back when getting mezzed shut down ALL toggles)

Now personally, aside from lacking quickness to make it easier to stack/perma, i've yet to have a problem with Active Defense and such, though this might be because my main toon that uses it is an SS tanker, and thus has no problem with being rooted and lacks a decent attack chain.

The thing is... Because of how customizable our appearance is in-game, as well as those of other NPCs, there's really not much a point to something like action figures. I suppose we could use some NPCs, which only only serve to remind players what they CAN'T MAKE. (Like the four villains on the CoV box)

I think City of is something that would do better with things like posters, t-shirts, and little key finders that make the glowie hum (as per-a steelclaw suggestion. Or was it Moo?).

On second thought though: maybe Gundam-esque model kits of various robots from in-game might be cool, but it might become a bit mis-leading as to what this game's about.

To make it even more interesting: it is believed that you will only have enough Dakka when the entire universe is a bunch of guns.
But then you will likely only have enough ammo to fire once, and even then, fire are what?
Almost zen, isn't it?

Hey hey hey hey! Be careful! I use fitness as it is pretty well! That movement speed protection keeps me safe from BCUs and Knives of Caltrops.

This really offends your senses as an artist, doesn't it?

I'll go get my Needlers.

Now for my own crazy theory...

Praetoria is in the same setting as Assassin's Creed. Hamidon and Cole both have Pieces of Eden (which are the TRUE source of this 'Incarnate' business, certain pieces just lets the Ones Who Came Before take control of their users) and (most of) Cole's people are actually all Templars.
Now here's the real kicker: Most of the Resistance are ALSO Templars. Assassins are scattered throughout and between the different factions.
Which one is an Assassin? That's just part of the game.
