    I'm really shaking my head ... I get a higher reward for just tagging mobs than for doing what I consider my job as a troller.
    I think that's your problem right there to begin with. Don't think of it as a job.

    Think of it as get in there and hit those control AND attack powers!

    What about the other women,Do they map to women in the institution? If so what happened to them when the were taken out of play? How much of her internal fantasy managed to catch their true essence? beats the hell out of me. Nobody could be bothered to flesh out the foundational layer of the story between admittance and lobotomy.
    I myself got the impression that all that happened in the imaginary world, mapped out to the real world. It was just the visual world that was changed.

    That was a good origin story for Sam. And the chainsaw through the truck was just nasty.
    Which Xmas totally forgot to mention!

    I was like...:O

    He said groovy!

    He used a chainsaw!

    He was called The Chin!

    I loved seeing all these little easter eggs.

    The big story payoff? Catatonia girl helps someone that may or may not in any way map to her delusion escape. She may say "this is your story",but that is bull crap. Escapee is rather weakly developed in fantasy,and not developed at all in reality.

    But the final layer of crap on the sandwich? God was working in mysterious ways through a cliche spouting sensei-general/real life bus driving angel. His divine plan seems to involve child molesting fathers, misfired bullets killing children. and young women getting lobotomies (but it was a mercy lobotomy, they spell out that she wanted it). All so that he could spring a gal from a mental institution that for all we know could be in dire need of psychiatric assistance.


    But I really did love the German steampunk zombie solders, that was pure win.
    It was the step father (there's a difference there), but that aside, god working in mysterious ways.

    Isn't that basically what all spout off in the event of any and all tragedy's?

    As for the girl who may be in need of real psychiatric assistance, if you had watched the movie, you'd realize that was answered in the first imaginary world.

    So no, she wasn't in need of psychiatric care really.

    I thought Lunge, Impale, Ripper alone was it's best chain...combined with two damage auras alone, I thought it got up to around 190 DPS (I think many people always discount Quills ticking away as you attack).

    Well on the bright side, Spines loses nothing for redraw, so you're only getting annoyed, not losing any damage.

    Why? It's called opposites attract.

    Besides that, while Numina may not be the scientific geek, she could be the magic geek.

    In this age of Leagues...don't buff the whole league with your single target buff. Buff your team. You have Destiny to buff everyone in the league.

    As for Kinetics, Siphon Power and Siphon Speed should be (imo) combined. Speed Boost should be increased to a 4 minute duration, and a new power added in!

    Inertial Reduction is a travel power! Some may like not having to open up a travel power pool. Forget that it's an AOE team travel power, it's just as good for yourself.

    Repel, some may like it and it can have it's uses, but I won't say it's all that.

    This I would love.

    Outside of an MMO though, Devil May Cry play style, with the character customization of CoH in terms of looks/costumes/powers.
  14. Hmmm...Yen, Seven Seas, and Viz take up my manga list, I don't see any TokyoPop in it at all.

    That said, still waiting on Kurahima #15m which was suppossed to be out like a year ago!

    I am seeking feedback on how people think Epic ATs should be handled in A/E tho.

    Note: I've never ran a CC in my time... and only briefly participated in 2. So bear with me, please.
    Glad to put in my submission. Also works with other ATs, powersrt combos, as I've rerolled/renamed her in quite a few different combos (DB/WP, MA/Regen, MA/WP, DB/SR, KM/WP Stalker, DP/MM Blaster, RAD/DP Defender)...and that's just the a few of them >_> Yeeeeaaah...still trying to find that "OMG I LOVE THE COMBO FOREVER" for my namesake

    [Bio as it appears in game]

    *Project 002-X File*

    Age: Appears 16ish
    Height: 5ft
    Weight: 100lbs
    Hair: Blonde
    Eyes: Blue
    Ethnicity: Irish/Japanese

    Summary: A merging of human DNA and nano-technology to create a biological weapon of war, by a covert section of the Longbow.

    Enhanced senses and physical attributes as expected, however an unknown x-factor has occured in the subject. While exact details are still a mystery, it deals with the perception and manipulation of temporal energy.

    While this creates a considerable boon, caution is advised, power dampeners should never be removed, as the limits to this power are as of yet unknown.

    Combined with martial arts and weapons training, she is both a considerable asset and a potential danger.

    We also suggest the removal of the subjects parents, Dr. James McClain and his wife, as psyche reports indicate a probability of them trying to free their children from the project.
  18. The problem I find is AS doesn't seem to help the sustained DPS. AVs (and possibly Pylons) tend to ruin/disregard placate.

    At least, that's what I found on a softcapped KM/WP Stalker :/
  19. I don't see why the staff would be offended or anyone really.

    Hmmm...critics are loving Source Code, but it's not doing all that great.

    So obviously whether critics love it or hate, it would seem movies I enjoy are doomed to failure! NOoooooo!

    Stuns and immobilizes are nice, but these are available (and in ranged form) from the Blaze APP, which lessens the advantage of MA having them.
    Hey now, the AOE might not be there, but MA has good DPA.

    Like this.

    Tankers ARE sufficiently more durable. They're insanely durable.

    I prefer the higher damage of Brutes and Scrappers, but anyone who is not able to realize that neither of Brutes nor Scrappers are even in the same league as a Tanker in durability is confused.
    I realize it.

    That isn't right, and should be fixed.
    I've only seen that happen on one BAF I've ran.

    All the others (that had a team taking out the add ons) just said "a few take on the adds" so people from all teams could have someone taking on the add ons.
  24. Wow. First it was "Give Supes a villain that he can trade puches with! Any villain!" now it's "No! Not that one!"
