Now if we could just add more Layers?

I WANT SOUND, NOT BANNERS !!!!!!

I hate it when developers remove parts of games that you enjoy, and try to sell you on what "they think" is a great idea. IT"S NOT!
Being able to "toggle" on and off the new visual sound effects banners is fine, but why force me to have "No Sound at All".

Thats like going to an action movie in a theater, and wearing ear plugs.

"Hurray for Silent Movies !"

Why not make the game black and white to...then it really will be "Silent Cinema". *sarcasm*

And another sucker buys it. April Fools!

This was cute. Now if you really wanted to do an april fools. you should have shut down test for the day and have everyone speculate that test was being implemented. then turn it on later in the day and say gotcha

[/ QUOTE ]

Oooh. Oooh! They started closed beta. Speculation runs rampant. That would have been a good one.

All sounds are being removed?

Yeah, this has got to be a joke. Nice one though. Almost got me.

Almost.

Last time I checked Twilight Grasp/Transfusion heal the same.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually no... Transfusion is targeted and the Area is based off the enemy location. Twilight Grasp is targeted, but the Area is based off of the users location, not the enemy's.



[/ QUOTE ]



But the Heal is the same AMOUNT i should have said, not behaviorally, at least I believe so.

Twilight grasp does work when mobs fall, transfusion doesnt....which still makes no sense. Wonder if BAB/Castle could look into that one as a minor issue.

[/ QUOTE ]

Twilight Grasp works like that purposely. It's not a bug. It represents the draining of the life force, which is why even the last dying breath can grant a heal.

Transfusion requires a target that is still moving around and kicking. It is a part of Kinetics after all. Kinetics depends on motion. Dark does not.

Just one question.

Is the Corruptor version of Electric Blasts going to be colored red to match the theme of villain electricity?

"It has long been understood that even heroes who gain their abilities through technology, nature, or science are somehow special, the pinnacle of human achievement. Many theorize that these super-powered beings are connected into some sort of power nexus beyond our comprehension. Although the exact nature of this energy grid is unknown, I believe that it acts as a control network for super power distribution."

People of magical origin...

Hmmm. Heroes of magical origin work off the grid I suppose.

[/ QUOTE ]

Key word is even. It was already known that characters of Magic and Mutant origin are special and tie into the nexus.

Thx for the news NCNC. Keep it comin.

I've been an advocate of this idea for a very long time now and have suggested several zones, complete with contacts and lore to add including:

Paths of Glory: Sewers for Villains
The Five: Origin and Mercenary Contacts for Villains
Terra Muerta: A Danger Zone
Bram's Pond: A Danger Zone
and The Vile Fleet: A Danger Zone

I believe we really need more variety so, I'll /sign this as well.

My best guesses.

Blasters = Psi Blast + Stone Manipulation, Gravity Manipulation

Controllers = Plant Control + Cold Shields

Defenders = Thermal + Assault Rifle, Fire Blast

Scrappers = Electric + Electric, Energy

Tankers = Dark, Energy + Dark

Brutes = Axe, War Mace + Ice, Super Reflexes

Corruptors = Psi Blast + Storm Summoning, Apathy (Empathy for villains)

Dominators = Stone Control + Stone Melee

Masterminds = none + Kinetics, Apathy (Empathy for villains)

Stalkers = Broadsword, Dark + Dark

Discuss.

So, was I reading it right that each AT will get one primary and secondary power from its corresponding AT? If so that's awesome!

[/ QUOTE ]

Every AT gains at least 1 powerset -- Masterminds only get a Secondary, no new Primary. Brutes get 2 new Primaries, and 1 secondary. Everyone else gets 1 Primary and 1 Secondary.

[/ QUOTE ]

If the new Scrapper one is Ninja Blade, I swear I'm never playing this game again.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why in the world would they possibly do that when Scrappers already have Katana, which is basically the same thing?

Now the Ninjitsu Secondary, that's a possibility.

Quick question for LH or BAB.

Is this port over of power sets going to also contain a port over of the the upgraded (villainside) fire effects for Tank Fire Shields?

I really want the kooler looking flames on my fire tanks. Please say it does.

Im not going to address the topics that others have discussed at length as GOOD things - Notably Power Proliferations, Villian Epics etc. But I did want to question the decision to include roman (roman?) maps and costumes...

WTH is with this? I can not name one SUPERHERO (Miller's "300" is NOT a superhero comic) comic book that has ever gone to the Roman time period. This is a VERY bizarre choice. Whatever happened to the surveys about what kind of content that the players were given way back when? I seem to remember COOL things like a lunar base or underwater settings... Unless theyre going to introduce mythological beasts such as hydras and cerberus, this is going to be VERY lame.

I was playing this game to play in SUPERHERO settings...

Any thoughts on this roman thing?

[/ QUOTE ]

Um, hello? It is very common in comic books to go tripping through time and space and come upon strange things like this (Ever read Doctor Strange?, New Mutants, Power Pack, Fantastic Four, The Maxx, Spawn, the list goes on). They just happened to choose to do a Roman trip instead of a Dinosaur one. Just because a comic book does not revolve around a theme doesn't mean it is disincluded from possibility.

YES!! Yay!! Woo Hoo!! Happy Happy!! Joy Joy!!

Just one thing. Any news on Shields?

This is introducing Roman era features after all. Seems fitting.

Actually that quote was first said by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper in John Carpenter's They Live. Duke Nukem was making a reference to the film.

I am Subutai, thief and archer. I am Arcanian.

What are you doing here?

Dinner for wolf.

Rush rush rush. Everyone is in such a hurry.

Not me.

But I'm sure I can find some uses for the double XP without missing my badge missions. Yeah, yeah. I know about Ourobors. But I like getting the badges on the way up.

And double drop weekend? Yeah, I doubt it. Otherwise it would have to be called Farmer Weekend instead of Double XP Weekend.

EI EI Oh.

You are very welcome.

The write up in the article for "power sets" affected by weapon customization is confusing.

[ QUOTE ]
Current power sets that benefit from this upgrade include Assault Rifle, Mercenaries/Assault Rifle, Bow, Broadsword, Claws, Villain Claws, Dual Blades (see below), Katana, Ninja Blade, Mace, Robotics/Pulse Rifle, and Thugs/Dual Pistols.

[/ QUOTE ]

For example: "Bow" isn't a power set, it should probably say Archery and Trick Arrow specifically. Likewise the lack of "Ninjas/Bow" from the list seems to imply that it's not included (even though BAB has made it clear later that it is).

May I suggest quickly rewriting that list to specifically reference only actual Power Sets and to make sure that all affected Power Sets get included.

[/ QUOTE ]

Also, I just noticed... Battle Axe is missing from the list as well.

That is all.
