Ballista

"As part of his experiment, Myers decided to play the game by the designers' rules -- disregarding any customs set by the players."

Last I checked the developers designed the base and police drones to provide a safe spot to gather, not to be used as a proxy for an attack by a particular player.

Is that intentional? Bug it.. find out. : p

What's the stun time on flashfire and stalagmites slotted up?

Hello again,

This week we have an action packed Canon Fodder post! Not only are some amazing facts about Blue Steel being revealed but I'm also posting a very small piece from the actual Story Bible to answer a question...and hopefully help answer some doubts as well.

Tally ho!

Question: I just pretty much want to know anything and everything there is about Blue Steel, such as how did he come by his powers, why is he not a registered super hero (instead of working for the police)?
Answer:
Blue Steel grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his rage over Tub Ci’s release.
Blue Steel didn’t come by his powers; he sprang full grown from the forehead of Zeus ready for battle.
Blue Steel doesn’t sleep. He waits…for another crack at the Clockwork King.
Castle and BABs put Shield Defense in the game because Blue Steel told them to…or else.
Blue Steel has no Secondary powers. All his powers are Primary.
If you can see Blue Steel, he can see you. If you can't see Blue Steel, you may be only seconds away from defeat.
Blue Steel doesn’t register as a hero. The city registers heroes so Blue Steel doesn’t have to take them down.
Blue Steel told Statesman that PPD trumps FP and Statesman shut up.
Blue Steel destroyed the periodic table, because the only element he understands is the element of surprise.

(I consulted with Ray Snyder, the dev who plays Blue Steel, and he informed me that Blue Steel is a Martial Arts, Shield Defense Scrapper but…Blue Steel doesn’t need an Archetype. Blue Steel *is* an Archetype)

fabulous. ; )

and out of curiosity, what is the resist cap? i don't play brutes : p

[ QUOTE ]
Fire or Ice. Fire is more damage and revolves around being able to heal fast. Ice revolves around being a big sack of HP and hibernoobing.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm.. I'd definitely go fire then IF those are the top two choices. I hate my old ice tank. She gets smacked up and with the DR to her global recharge and the phase timer changes she's sort of way squishy.

[ QUOTE ]
and another tank in RV........

[/ QUOTE ]

Well my stalker and corruptor are there most of the time I'm in RV as I mostly play villains. I wanted to try something different heroside (most of my heroes are defenders, blasters and controllers).

Hai there. I want to try some pvp with an AT I don't have much experience with (I have an old ice/energy that was built mostly for phasing which DR and phase changes whacked to death) - what's a general consensus on tanker primary performance in higher end (RV) zone pvp?

For secondary I want super strength; for primary I'm hearing fire/. Any advice? Thanks.

Question: is this an oversight? I think it's weird when a controller with flurry outdamages all of my stalkers' melee attacks (besides AS while hidden). Why play a melee character when their primary is outdamged by a pool power accessible to every AT? I'm supposed to be built for melee damage while a controller is not.

What posts of his are we talking about? :| I'm so confused.

[ QUOTE ]
its a shame it had to most likely end like this, will miss you. corporations suck.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay I just barely found this... what does this mean?? His post makes it sound like he left willingly.

and I'll miss your posts lighthouse : ) I always liked how friendly you were in the forums and PMs!

What I'd like some clarity on is a statement by Castle where he says the powers will be just like they were in PVE, and in PVP enabled zones they will have a nerfed performance.

My question is if a given power that only buffs me gets a PVP nerf, does that mean when I go to a PVP Zone for PVE reasons (Shivans, Nukes, RV prestige hunting) that my powers are similarly nerfed?

This might be a serious issue with some folks who love their APPs.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd love to make such a statement for you, but it'd be a lie. The changes for APPs/PPPs are more widespread.

The basic tack we took was "if the power is not being taken by the players, replace it with something that is." So, a number of formerly heroside only powers are now available on villainside, and a number of powers have been replaced by something we feel will be more useful in general.

I'll be very interested in seeing the reactions to the new lists in Beta.

As for the PVP zones, yes, doing PVE content there will be harder.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm really anxious to see what powers are going to be changed. I have to say, I think Issue 13 looks incredible because I personally care a lot more about costume pieces, power additions, and power consideration/balancing way higher on my "coh additions that will = fun" list.

I have to wait 51 months to use helmets that could have easily been introduced as a pay-for patch similar to the tuxedo and wedding gown patch?

Stupid. There's no other way to put it. People have been requesting these for a really long time, and I've been around since CoV launch and that's no where near 51 months. Ugh at this.

This is a great thread.. PM it to Castle. : )

I just re-rolled my /EA after she was deleted 5 issues ago for being lackluster.. and apparently, nothing has changed.

epic fun

My very own Freem! shirt, made at Zazzle.com Cafepress really doesn't let you add text and lotsa graphics and resize and stuff. Anyway, here's the front, and here's the back. I like having the little logos on the back.

I ain't makin' a profit, so Lighthouse sez it's ok! The total for this shirt on Zazzle, using a woman's distressed t-shirt, was about $30.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok, how do I get one of these? I can't seem to find it on Zazzle.com.

[/ QUOTE ]

You send them a digital picture and description of what you want written and the font. You pay for the shirt and the fee for them screen printing the image on. Another website you can use is Yque.com
