genius!

Roll your owns. Best to get a roller or it's a PITA to roll it decently.

That's not how rating reviews work.

Cigar smoking for men may seem standard fare, while cigar smoking for women push those limits.

I doubt it was because of ratings though.

It probably has more to do with not many female superheroes smoking cigars, when they made game.

Might be hesitant to add them now for a lot of reasons. While I know at one point they did this, not sure if it has stuck, but they had characters stop smoking cigarettes, cigars could be next.

Could be as simple as looking stupid on the female faces.

Im not against the idea to have cigars added for females. I have no characters to make use of it, but then I have no characters to make use of a lot of the costume options.

Actually. you're wrong on this one.

If a TF drops to 1 person, then the TF ends.

If a trial drops to a minimum amount of people, then it ends.

The difference seems to be, is if someone DCs or logouts of the trial, they're out. If someone DCs or logouts of a TF, they're still in and can log back into it.

I think this needs to be cleared more, because it needs to stop being said.

Dual Pistols can turn off it's Knockback, because it's gimmick IS BECAUSE it's gimmick is switching between effects.

Yes, it gave up an AIM power for this, to make room for this power, but that's besides the point.

Just because Dual Pistols can turn off its Knocback doesn't mean all other knockpowers should be able to be turned off or changed on the whim.

If you don't like the knockback, don't roll the set.

If it wasn't for changing the IO sets, I still think the best suggestion for these sets is removing...

...Thunder Kick for Dragon's Tail. Not sure if it breaks the cottage rule to do so. But they did turn Stalkers Eviserate into a ST attack after the fact, if memory serves me correctly.

Move it up on the Power levels and move other attacks down the list.

...Stun for Whirling Hands. Stun isn't even almost okay damage, and Whirling Hands still stuns. Whirling Hands may not be the best PBAOE attack (could be made into one though) but its AOE.

I'd say it is rare, as forum goers are rare, and it's not every virtue forum goer who does it.

Have I RPed on PuGs? Yes. Is it common? No. More of a mood set for me. Had some fun times when I do do it though.

I'd agree with this post.

Come up with a dream build, then slot your build using SOs., replacing them out as you get the IOs.

For instance on my DB/WP I have Nimble Slice 4 slotted. I'd slot it with 1 ACC/3 DMG or 2 ACC/2 DMG SOs untill I got the 4 Kinetic Combat's slotted into them.

And yeah, the most expensive build is easy enough to obtain, if you're just willing to do the content.

Reward Merits, Astral Merits, Emp Merits, Alignment Merits...all this makes getting what used to be impossible builds, possible.

HELL YES!

Truthfully, it's just the lack of ST DPS that keeps me from getting into Stalkers.

Yes, I know Assassin Strike will make that DPS better. But taking a softcapped Stalker out against hard targets, and seeing my placate get blasted through and negating me using the Assassin Strike I was setting up to use, or even just AVs having so high of perception, that I couldn't even sneak up on them. :/ I had to rely on defense to hopefully get that first AS off.

Good point. I know I wouldn't want an eye on every piece of the set.

Now I'm not one of the Pocket D regulars (though I go there time to time), but I'm curious as to what you mean by bad emoting.

/em giggles "insert dialogue here"

Are you looking for something more long winded?

I'm just curious, because not everyone can think of almost maximum allowable text in one message (not even thinking of going over it), without possibly taking some time to think about the right wording.

Then it has people waiting around, wondering if you went AFK. Not to mention trying to think of the right thing to say when it's something short, when you get hit by something that sends you for a loop, or has you thinking 'What would my character say to this?!' (note I RPed regularly with someone who always want to think of the right thing to say, at times this would mean waiting around a bit longer for a reply...it didnt bother me...but it bothered others).

Also, in the D with all the chatting going on, I think people have decided to just make it quick. And instead of taking it to team, they want the audience.

And I know people who would go to the D, except when they get there it's lots of chat going by quickly, they miss what they're going for.

This has happened of course at big SG gatherings with coalitions involved showing up. So it's not a knock on the D, as that lots of people equals a lot of chatter, which can have chat going by quickly for some.

Say its in the destroyed zone and now it's a pile of wreck, but you refuse to leave your now ruined home, and you RP that you live there but the water is bad, when you can get it, the air conditioner is out. But on the bright side, your rent is cheaper.

And gawd forbid if anyone kept Pocket D to the no fight rule. Were heroes and villains can come to party without worry of losing an eye.

Yes, but GC looks to be even more AWESOME!

I think you'll be wrong

Titan Weapons will be a set people have to purchase. There might be people who only play the Stalker AT over any other melee AT. Those player may buy the Titan Set, but would only buy it if the Stalkers could use it.

Essentially, I think the devs are going to want to cover their bases, and get as many sales as they can on it.

I use Rebirth myself. I've used it when I've seen a team member about to die, and Ive used it as a self heal when I needed too.

When I had Barrier, I just clicked it when it recharged (or wait for AVs to be pulled over) and just kept it up.

Of course, I do like that Rebirth gives my WP a self heal

Im sure there was someone out there who prefered to have their Taunt earlier.

Now it makes me wonder if there's someone out there with a Tanker who hasnt been respeced in that amount of time, still running around with the fitness pool and likely 6 slotted stamina, because they want their taunt earlier!

Because going to a destroyed part of the city would be awesome!
