  4. I would love to see them introduce an 'insect' mastermind powerset

    They could incorporate the existing bee swarm (devoured earth I believe) and kick some damage in on them, perhaps incorporate the spiderlings (I know I know, not technically an insect) and maybe have a Praying Mantis as the boss pet. Guess it could be a 'BUGS' set opposed to an insect set.
    Just throwing it out there.

    This is the funniest post so far today IMO
  11. 1 - Chain Induction - can hit 5 targets (if I remember correctly) and jumps target to target. Id take that personally. Jacob's ladder sometimes hits 2 targets if they are lined up together
    2 - I went with Pyronic - not void - tried void and liked Pyronic better. Dont remember the others off hand
    3 - I went for +def vs +rchrg and tried to get a couple of Positron Blast sets in there for their recharge bonus. (and a couple of LotG recharges also)

    my 2 cents
  12. Please let us not forget the greatness that was
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America_(1990_film)

    and (taken from wikipedia)
    Captain America appeared in two 1979 live-action television movies that aired on CBS: Captain America, which aired January 19, 1979, and Captain America II: Death Too Soon, which aired November 23, 1979, both starring Reb Brown in the title role. The character differs significantly from the comics in both his origin and his operations. For instance, Steve Rogers is a character in contemporary times whose father was a 1940s government agent. The very patriotic attitude of Steve's father earned him the nickname Captain America, and his father is spoken of as having been murdered. Rogers, a former Marine now making what little living he makes as an artist, was inspired by this story to sketch a super-hero. After receiving potentially fatal injuries in an accident, he was administered an experimental chemical called the FLAG—Full Latent Ability Gain—formula (at one point referred to as a "super-steroid") which not only saves his life but also enhances his body with heightened strength and reflexes. These new abilities lead Dr. Simon Mills (Len Birman), the research biochemist and intelligence official who had told Rogers about his father, to recruit him and give Steve a costume based on his drawing. As Captain America, he also makes significant use of a specialized reconstruction of the van he has been driving, out the rear of which can be launched a modified motorcycle. Its functions include a rocket thrust for a fast start out of the van, a jet boost for increased speed, a setting to allow the bike to be ridden with less noise for stealthier movement and a hang glider structure which can allow the bike to glide to the ground with some forward momentum, although it must be jettisoned upon landing. The bike has a round windshield, described as being made of "Jet-Age plastics," with concentric circles that alternate between red and transparent around a centered star, blue in color. He is able to detach this, and he uses it as his shield when he goes on foot. At the end of the first movie, Rogers briefly appears in a redesigned costume—more accurately a uniform—that bears a stronger resemblance to the uniform Captain America is seen wearing in the comics, and he wears this uniform in the sequel.
    In Captain America II: Death Too Soon, Brown's Steve Rogers is first shown sketching a portrait of a Mrs. Shaw (Susan French), who complains to him about a gang of muggers who have been stealing the proceeds from cashed Social Security checks; she denies having cashed hers. He bids her do this in order to set a trap for the muggers, and springs the trap as Captain America. In the meantime, a free-lance revolutionary terrorist calling himself General Miguel (Christopher Lee), planning to fight an unspecified war, kidnaps a Professor Ian Ilson (Christopher Cary) and forces him to resume his research in manipulative gerontology. Ilson has managed to formulate both a chemical that accelerates aging and the antidote to the same chemical, and Miguel, posing as the warden of a prison in Oregon near Portland, plans to use the chemicals in question to hold Portland hostage for a multi-million-dollar ransom. Ultimately Brown's Captain America and Lee's General Miguel directly clash face-to-face, and when Miguel throws a glass bottle of the aging accelerant into the air, hoping it will shatter against Captain America's body, the Captain throws his shield into the air, where it shatters the bottle in such a manner that the aging accelerant splashes Miguel instead, aging him literally to death in less than a minute. The telefilm was directed by Ivan Nagy.

    true and I remember it was like that for me when I first started also, but keep in mind that a brand new player only has access to limited chat anyway. A whole 2 channels I believe, so shouldnt be THAT hard to figure out LOL

    from my own experience.. Ive been playing for years and still get lost and/or confused in some maps. Showing the whole map to me isnt a great idea as you arent really sure what might be to your right waiting to get you when you go around a corner looking to your left and thats part of the fun of the game for me.

  15. Ive duo'd this with my electric electric brute and a friend on his Ice/Dark tank. Took us about 35 mins to kill Rom (using every temp power we could throw at him and a vanguard heavy). The rest of the ITF was fairly easy.
    edit - this was before Incarnate powers
  16. Karate chooped my way along with the static AE team and then just ran a couple of toons around on my alt account.
    And quite frankly, I got so tired of the trials that I havent run a BAF/ Lambda since before I20.5 and I have yet to run a Keyes. Maybe Ill jump on one this week. Dunno.

    *grabs a bagel and some extra caffeinated coffee*
    slurp !
  17. **thinking aloud**

    had it been me I would have titled the thread

    Puppehs Punny PEEvenge

    you can all guess that it wouldnt be salt in the coffee


    **just gotta make sure to turn off the security camera**
  18. I think most people go to Atlas Blueside and most people zoom through Mercy redside
    You should find plenty in Cap Au Diable redside tho

    and welcome to the game
  19. Most of the additional damage that a proc will do is not huge-if it fires. I dont have a mids build handy of my spines, but Ive realized that the best way for me to get more damage is to just take Musculature on my Alpha slot and live with the loss of bonuses other alpha slots would have given me.
  20. I thought it was general knowledge...

    People like to moan. It makes them feel better about life.


  21. * not a fan of salted coffee *

    HUGE fan of pooping everywhere though
