While I wouldn't delete a toon over this, I do think people are being way to optimistic when they say "It's still in beta and subject to change."

No, it's in Beta, it's going to fix something they think is broken, and thusly it's going to be fixed barring the fix doesn't cause some major bug.

Now that said, I really do hope they decide to let it go and say it's now a feature of the Hami-Os.

Can builds be made out of the entirety of HO's? Of course! But IOs will still be better. And I do see a hit to people running Hami Raids, and possibly even STF and LRSF, as I've known people who ran them just for the chance at various HOs.

Not everyone does that of course, but it makes me wonder if less people will be willing to run them, when a lot of people run them based on rewards. *shrug*

If it goes through, it just means we modify our builds

And I am that other side of the coin that's totally okay with it! Want to change alignments instantly over and over again, pay the money, save your time, and be done with it.

If you'd rather save the money, then obviously you have to take the time.

A respec is a bit different than an alignment change, and really, good, it's more money for them...people can complain "I want access to Patron Powers, but dont want to put in the effort needed." and everyone can reply "Buy a token!"

Unless there's a cool down, you can even switch to and back in one day. \o/

I don't think they'll increase base damage, but they did mention helping it's DPS by reducing animation times.

I actually love the animations of Dual Pistols, but damn, everytime I make one, I just feel like I'm getting no where on tough Single Targets! :/

Made even when worse when I pair it with my favorite Buff/Debuff set (Time Manipulation) which doesn't have enough -Regen to make a difference. *sigh* I'll keep hoping for some sort of change to make that combo work for me though

Agree with the making the secondary damage 30 (Lethal)/70 (Elemental) with Swap ammo. I don't think it'll make that big of a difference, but it would likely help on those tougher targets.

I thought giving Toxic Rounds a decent -Regen ability that was actually effective, was a good way to encourage the use of Toxic Rounds.

Tough single target? SWITCHING TO TOXIC!

General mass killing? SWITCHING TO FIRE!

Weaker to Lethal than Fire? SWITCHING TO LETHAL! Maybe even give Lethal rounds a slight acc bonus over the other ammos as a "I'm missing to much! Going lethal rounds!" say it's just more accurate projectile due to not having other elements attached to the rounds or some such. Or maybe Lethal grants the -Def while elemental doesnt.

No idea on what to do for Cold though :/ Maybe having a better control aspect to it is the way to go.

I can get behind HoB going down to 60 seconds like the other weapon T9's, but not so sure on the ability of having it use all ammo types at once. It'd be awesome for sure, but if it did that, it may just be a reason to keep it at 2min recharge.

And yes, Pistols should beable to swap ammo too!

Naaa. If he was a high level Blaster, he'd have a glass jaw.

"What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to let loose and show you just how powerful I really a...."

*Fist to Blasters Face*

*Faceplant*

"All that damage won't help you with Blaster defense. Hahaha the world is mine!"

See... He needs Tanker level defenses, Scrapper Damage mods, Vigilant Inherent (he breaks team when he starts to really show his stuff and explains why he gets taken out of huge team stories with some plot device) with a high Damage Cap

If he was a brute in that case, he'd have faceplanted.

Supes is a Tanker with Scrapper Damage Mods.

You're right. Get rid of the huge model so people wills top asking for a female huge model that would be underused.

Why would anyone even think CoH's Rhode Island SHOULD match up to the Real World's Rhode Island?

CoH's Rhode Island has been stated in the lore, that it was expanded due to earthquakes and such, making it a much bigger state, and opening up new river ways and all that jazz.

Me to! Been waiting and waiting! Gaaaah! I keep wondering what's taking it so long to come out.

now i need to know!

HBO did Spawn.

Just as equal as the other costume items locked behind vet status. Only now you have to be a higher level vet.

Not to mention this time you can get up to that level of vet if you want to.

And equality? You mean between those who subscribe and those who don't?

I agree with you on this. When in a TF as an enemy he should be upped in power for the story to work when it's 8 players taking him on.

However, that's hime without that too. But...also like I said, doesn't bother me. I just wish they'd do some things to make the squishies feel a bit more like Posi. Even if that means waiting for Epics and not Destiny Power

While the NPCs having abilities I wish I could give characters (or rather being the type of character I wish I could create as well) doesn't really agitate me, I have to agree...Positron is just as Posi said, armored.

While I can feel armored on a few Defender primaries, RAD was never one of them. Not to mention Mez Protection. Which, I thought they could of just given the squishies easily enough in their Epic Pools.

I would disagree. Unless your idea of being more good, is that Wardens are trying to stop injustices, while the Responsibility are trying to uphold the law of the land...which includes kidnapping people and stuffing them into boxes to protect the other citizens, making people drink a chemical designed to make the populace controlable by the Cole and his group.

I don't know...Warden arc seems to be all good choices untill the last one. And then, it's more of a morally grey area and not really villainous as people could not die at all, and you're removing a bad item, but not directly hurting anyone (it's more of a possible longterm possibility).

But to the OP...the praetors themselves (Tyrant, Dominatrix, ect) are evil. The Loyalists themselves, can be either.

Wardens tend to be heros in the sense that they know there's bad things happening and going the typical hero route of trying to fix things.

R. Loyalists know less of the dark secrets and trying to follow the law of the land.

Think Chaos Good vs Lawful Good.

The other sides of those groups are different. And generally more evil in the typical sense of evil (without getting into the moral debate of what people consider evil and not evil).

So you can play hero on either side, they're just coming at it from a different view points but both valid...up to a point.

Once the loyalist knows how evil the Praetors are...would they still do all that? Would they still think well YES! Let's subjagate everyone for their own good (and possibly their own profit)...maybe yes just because that's what the one in charge says to.

It's tough choices in Praetoria.

Well, let's see, went BS/Shield as the Scrapper. That just seems to give off a more low tech style, possibly magic, maybe natural in orgin.

So if I was to make a few suggestions...

Praetoria is less about magic, at least in Praetoria proper (ie not First Ward). So why not go a more tech route?

Dual Pistols/Trap Corr

Or Titan Weapons/WP, where WP is their tech armor or even ELA!

They already explained the issues with that bundle. I wouldn't call it inequality, unless you consider the Carnies not equal...which...they aren't!

Not to say some of those pieces couldn't be made for males, but they're taking a villain groups outfit and giving them to the players, and OMG the Carnie females are the ones who wear those pieces.

They've already said they'll try to put some of those other pieces over to males at possibly...maybe...well it's the devs they dont tend to give 100%

This. It's really that simple. It's just a synonym for character.

Toon, avatar, character, main, alt...I've used all those words to talk about my various characters/toons/avatars/main/alts.
