I never once felt like it was a "They may have to break up!" for Chuck and Sara, with the current plot line.

It felt more like a "Time Chuck learns not to rely on Sara".

It has an animation time of 2.83 seconds.

It does the same damage as Total Focus, which has an animation time of 3.3 seconds.

Personally, I'd rather see a bit less time on Focused Burst.

Or if it's that much of a bother, there's two other options...

1) Change your toon not to be so old

2) Change your toon to be way older! The cannon also says that the well of furies was open before, so mutant origins likely exsisted the last time it was open before Statesman and Recluse.

Whew. I thought it was just me.

Most already consider the scaling resists to be a waste as it is

You're really not losing much

I don't know if it's limited to Shield and Invulnerability Scrappers.

My Willpower Scrapper tanked A LOT of AVs, just fine. Mind you, I had Confront (Dual Blades Confront is awesome), and it was only left to single hard target AVs/GMs (couldnt tank the STF though), but that's still tanking

Well, my WP Tanker basically did well against them, but I didn't try 4/8 difficulty (wasnt an option then).

But WP tends to do well against Rularuu enemies.

I actually had no problem with the bird.

Hmmm...been awhile since I ran a scrapper up against one.

However, I'd say it's more than 2 seconds.

BU + AS + 1 attack = about 5-6 seconds.

But eh, like I said I make do with my Stalker The no one shotting of a -10 just made me feel It also matter to me, because I was hunting Fake Nemesis.

I agree with you, onb if they want more AOE they should ask for the new sets. HOWEVER, I think if ported to Scrappers they'd lose a lot of their AOE.

Fire Melee would lose either Fire Breath or FSC. Fire Armor would lose Blazing Aura.

I already said what I want in a Stalker Secondary in another thread (WP is pretty close to it). But then, I'm not worried about having massive amounts of AOE.

At 45% defense, Ive had problems getting off on targets. Something nudges you, poof gone...and now you do little bity damage.

I meant more a long the lines of being told what to do versus choosing your own path. More prevalient in redside content imo, but the point stands.

And your right, Thor would beat Captain America, but Captain America can hold his own book.

Batman is an A lister, but really, he could lose to a lot of B listers by powers alone, if they keep him at his roots of a street level hero in body armor who knows how to fight.

I think that gets my point across...maybe...possibly...*shrug*

A-listers tend to have a shot (somehow) to stand up against the other A-listers, one on one. Maybe not win, but put on a good show.

Sticking to CoH storyline, Statesman (and even the rest of the Phalanx) and Recluse (and his Lts) are suppossed to the A-Listers, that require a group of B-Listers to take them on, with less of a really good show if they go one on one (obviously there are those who can already do this...but I think the point is made).

Now I do see it from an RP standpoint, like the OP was talking about. I think some of the game mechanics should just stayed game mechanics versus them trying to throw in RP story content to explain everything (power proliferation for example should of, admittedly imo, just put in, and not had a storyline done with it).

This has been done in television to great effect.

NCIS LA killed off one of their cast.

The Unit killed off one of their cast.

This all said, I think the problem doesn't come from shows not willing to kill off characters, but rather, the crew not willing to just get rid of the actor.

Also, you can't do it for every character of every show. You keep Buffy dead, it pretty much ends Buffy. Okay for the last show, but not so okay when the show is still going.

For comics like Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, Superman...ect...ect this just doesn't work. These characters have become iconic. Killing them off doesn't work, because to do so and make it really mean something, means you HAVE to make it stick.

Now, it's different when you plan this out in advance, and better imo that audience knows, this isn't going to change.

The problem is, they like to promote it as if it's sticking, and everyone knows it's not.

It however, can still be done to great effect.

I understand when people see it and complain about it constantly happening. For example, Collosus should of stayed dead. If they actually killed my favorite X-Men (while I'd hate it and likely hold it against them >_>), if it was done with the thought of it being permanent and done in a great fashion, while I'd miss Jubilee, and (likely) hate the writers for doing it, I don't want to see a "Oh I'm back" poorly/half-***** return.

This exception goes for Jean Grey though. Never understood why people complain about her death and return. She's the PHOENIX, that's what they do That said, Scoot should stay with Emma.

Of course, with today's audience, it doesn't look like there can be any new iconic comic book heroes who can last as long as the ones we know. Both writers and artist have no sense of a work ethic to stay with a property to get it to such a status.

I think this is one of the reasons Manga have become popular over american comics. They generally aren't planned to be on-going, never ending stories (there's nothing bad about such things imo), so they can do the killing off of characters, make it mean something, and keep it.

Again, not 100%, but generally.

Agreed.

And then they should also put in a swingline travel power!

that's not how I read it at all.

Statesman and Recluse still drank from the wells.

The artifact that lets you draw from the well and morphs into something origin-specific, is a different route to obtaining the same state of incarnate as Statesman and Recluse.

The Well Statesman and Recluse drank from linked them to gods of mythology, and the quick route that they took linked them to it more than they wanted (at least in the case of Recluse who is trying to keep the power but sever the tie).

That's why the player's character is going about it a different route, to not be tied to it as much, while still maintaining the power.

Though, only problem I have with the story as it's given, is when you do obtain full incarnate status, it assumes you have all this massive strength.

I'd prefere to see it as...you're going from B-List heroes (possibly up there, but NOT quite), to becoming A-Listers.

Of course, replace heroes with villains for those who play villains

Eh, I don't see this as bad.

Sean Connery. Harrison Ford. These are two actors that people love that pretty much play themselves. So Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds may not be such a bad thing.

Watching the trailer, it looks like he goes through some rough spots...like him learning to fly isn't him getting the ring and then POOF he can fly perfectly. Whether that's good or bad, I guess that's up to individual.

Didn't really have a problem with the mask, as it looked like a typical Green Latern mask.

I won't judge on the colors of the outfit to much. For one it didn't look that bad to me. But I also know, it's harder to get the colors to look good in the movies than it is in the comics.
