  5. I really have no problem with them charging for it, my only worry is HOW much. A 5 power Pool set should NOT cost the same as a full 9 tier powerset, especially if a lot of the powers are drawn from other sets.

    I can see 400-500 points, NO more than that.
  6. On my Click-Mezz protection characters that is on auto (Practiced Brawler etc), on my SS characters Rage is on auto. Other than that... If I have Clarion that is usually on Auto.
  7. Based on the "design a Powerset" workshop I was at during the Pummit yesterday and the rough powers list that we came up with for the Devs, YES! A resist set that Debuffs and has the Absorb Mechanic? Yes please...


    EDIT: I'd also love to see this on Stalkers....
  8. No clue.. and it's likely not much. RP it as the Radiation sickness weakening your foe's psi powers?

In short, it sounds awesome and I can't wait to know more about it once development starts.
    I was there, and the design process was awesome to be part of.

    These are my rough notes of the 9 powers we came up with-


    Rad armor-
    Shield 1- SL, toxic resist
    Sbield 2- fire, cold, neg resist (neg may be moved to the auto power...)
    Shield 3- mez and psi resist
    auto regen/end recovery
    Click absorb power
    Taunt aura, foe minus damage
    Click foe -HP self heal
    Self nuke attack
    T9 meltdown mode ending with self destruct

    The Click Asorb needs enemies in range I believe- and from what I remember Synapse saying, he always add a +Regen effect to the absorb mechanic because just adding HP is a bit too squishy.. IE your real HP heal faster while the absorb "shield" is getting smashed.

    Especially considering during the last panel 90% of the Paragon staff not at the panel table vanised and reappeared 1/2 way through all drinking..... including Z....

    Very easy answer- someone or something tampered with the time stream and Nemy won Brass Monday.. you need to go back and set things right

    All part of Nemesis's errrr Silos's plot!
  13. I actually hope its NOT then.. since thats the day of the pummit!

    On a good Note.... I LOVE this- I always wanted a Oro TF where you fight during Brass Monday, this will suffice for now
  14. Saw this on the CoH Facebook thread...

    http://www.onrpg.com/MMO/City-of-Her...sary-Interview

    Not a lot of new info... EXCEPT THIS:

    "Sure! For the 8th Anniversary we gave away the Statesman Salute rewards to pay homage to a great hero, there will also be a new invasion involving the Nemesis (itÂ’s a Nemesis Plot!) who will take over Paragon City and the Rogue Isles."

    A Nemesis invasion???? Snipers everywhere, swarms of Jaegers in AP? I like!
  15. Well, I arrive at Norman Mineta Intnl' airport around 12:05 pm friday! Yes!!

    I know I'm a bit late, is there anyone carpooling from there around that time? If not, it should be easy getting a taxi...

Upon trying again after a few minutes, they were able to get the name.

    On a side-note: what aura? The only one I know of that was once on the market but is no longer there is the bats from the Halloween pack.
    The Gaseous Aura.. I believe it was one of the basic auras... its not showing in the Creator or the market on my Primary account.
  17. OK.. this may be long-winded so bare with me.

    I've had a name reserved for a Staff character since I found out about Staves- I had the name held on my 3rd account. This morning I went and deleted the name and recreated it over on my primary account so I can get all the vet rewards I have there.

    It's then I realized that I didn't have the 1 aura piece on my primary account that I do have on my 3rd account. After looking for it in the market and not finding the aura I decided just move back to my 3rd acct and be done. Thats where I ran into a issue...

    I Can delete the characcter from my primary account.. but when I go back to my 3rd acct it says the name isn't available.. but it is on my primary and 2nd accounts?? Is there a timinig issue? I did this all before work this morning so I just rereserved the name on my primary account and figured I'd try this again tonight- just wondered if anyone ran into this before?

    as would the blast set requested from day 1. :'( i just rolled like three characters for it to save the names i want lol.
    Considering a lot of the leaked sets have a nature theme.. and I'm guessing part of I24 will deal with Praetorian Hami.. they may give either Nature Affinity or Water Blast as a free VIP set.

    My money is on Water Blast.. since VIPS have gotten a buff set, a control set, a assault set and a melee set... the only one left is a blast set.
  21. You know.. it occurred to me last night looking over the various powerset leaks...

    We know that for a lot of the 'older' tech in the game like bases and mayhem missions the votes and such have been lost/incomplete and that's why the Devs are hesistant to tinker with the systems- what if the same is true of the legacy powersets?

    We know that Energy Blast was at first a failed attempt at a water blast set... now we see an actual water blast set leaked. What if the Devs made the decision to use new tech/FX to.... 'recreate' failed or underperforming sets rather than take the more laborous route of reverse-engineering a set and trying to tweak it?

    That would explain some of these leaks of a new shapeshifting AT.. rather than mess with Khelds too much, just do over a shapeshifting AT and do it.. rigtht this time with 7 years of knowledge on what failed? To me it's a nice solution.. gives more variety in game, keeps us rolling alts and generates more income (no way all those sets will be VIP free... maybe a few).

    Actually.. YES yes I am.. i'm also intrigued by Water Blast....

    The question is.. You Mad Bro? Yeah.. you mad....
  23. I actually would like the ability to "open" other slots with Incarnate Merits like we can with the Alpha.

    Say 2-3 Emp Merits for unlocking the non-"level shift" slots like Judgement and Interface (and I assume Hybrid).

    I23 should be the final takedown of Tyrant. Also all references of States will be removed from the game, not sure about Sister.

    From the lil tidbits the Devs and Z have dropped in coffee talks and such heres what we should expect-

    1) Tyrant Trial- most likely including Chimera as well since Dominatrix confirms Chimy is Tyrants new "gadgeteer" since AM's and Nueron's downfall.

    2) At least 1 new Incarnate slot- originally they were hinting at both Genesis and Hybrid but one of the coffee chats mentioned only 1 with next trial.

    3) Possible set up/arrival of Battalion scouts/vanguard troops? I expect they will jump right into the Battalion storyline with little pause.

    4) Possible new Praet Zone? There have been a bunch of subtle hints about expanding. I'm wondering if They won't do a reverse of previous issues. IE- start the issue with a Trial to defeat Tyrant then have a 30-50 zone to deal with the fall out and help clean up Praetoria.

    5) Shadow Shard progression? (this may be wishlisting but with the SSA 1 wrapped up I can see Vanguard starting to take a bigger interest in the Shard...)
