  1. LOL @ Beta because he meant to say, "...when I narrow all these reasons down. This could take a moment."
  2. So you perma-sprinkled?
  3. LOL @ Karl for not telling POS he needs to GTFO if he isn't going to follow the thread rules.
  4. I'm hoping they throw us a bunch of info after Issue 16. Well, if GR coincides with i17, I guess that would happen by default.

    Nice job, Cath!

    (Although my Eagles Claw is better than Cobra's )
    I don't know this Cobra you speak of.

    (That was "Cobera Commandant".)
  13. Updated the OP to include the YouTube link. It seems to have uploaded a little better.

    D_R,

    I edited my original link to go to the YouTube version. It actually uploaded a little better. Just letting you know.
  15. Here's an epic video a lot of people might not have seen yet.

    Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?

    (The song is also available on iTunes and Amazon.)

    P.S. The #1 Comment that shows someone's into WoW WAY too much: "Man, that's a lot of gold." (Just sayin ;-))

    I'm not offended.

    I just wanted an excuse to post this video I found last night while waiting for the video to finally upload.

    This video is evil, and it reminds me of Sun. (not really...okay, sorta) (NSFW in most places)
  17. OS and Sun, I didn't start this thread for advice.

    Thanks though.

    My First COH Music Video

    The quality is a little on the low side, but I think that's because of the gimpy program(s) I used this time. I plan to make more in the future. This one was a learning experience. I hope all you pros enjoy it.
  19. Watch on YouTube

    Watch on WeGame

    The quality could be better, but I learned a lot from this one. Stay tuned for more!

    Thanks to everyone who helped!
  20. LOL @ Beta for getting KB and FG mixed up!

    People need to understand what you mean when you say, "I rolled this guy for Going Rogue."

    That'd be my clue to run as far away from you as possible.

    Issue 16 Blurbs

    Updated the OP with the link to this:

    Quote:
    For Issue 16: Power Spectrum, we wanted to proliferate more powersets; at least one per archetype. In looking at which sets to shift around, there were a number of considerations that had to be examined. There wasn't a specific rule, it was more the circumstances of development which really guided the decisions. As the art team was busy with Powerset Customization, we tried to stay away from sets that required too much animation or FX work. We also wanted to fill in matching Themes where we could, like with adding Assault Rifle and Traps to Defenders. In other instances we wanted to fill in highly requested options, such as adding Claws to Brutes. In the end though, there are just far too many aspects to cover individually, but I'd definitely like to highlight some examples.

    Tanker & Scrapper: Electric Armor and Electric Melee

    The original plan was just to proliferate Electric Armor and to use this opportunity to make some survivability adjustments to the set at the same time. To that end, we renamed "Conserve Power" to "Energize" and added a small self heal and short duration regeneration buff to the power. During testing, we realized that Energize came too late in the lifetime of a character to truly be useful, so for the new versions of the powerset, we swapped the progression of Lightning Reflexes and Energize (Brutes and Stalkers do not get this advantage, unfortunately). Ultimately, we decided that we really wanted a thematic match for Electric Armor on the attack side of the fence, and added Electric Melee to the mix as well.
    Dominator: Earth Assault
    Earth Assault began life as a training exercise for Jonathan "Sunstorm" Courney. Shortly after he began working here, he decided to build a new assault set for Dominators in order to help familiarize himself with the powers system. He spent some time picking the powers, dreaming up new ones and testing them, and in general just doing some really innovative and crazy things with them. After a while, he decided to take his test bed and turn it into something that could be released to the fans. This led to a lot of rebalancing, rebuilding, and when he was finally satisfied with it, he pitched it to me. Although it's taken awhile for it to be implemented, we're happy that we're finally able to include it with Issue 16.
    Earth Assault, like other Assault sets, combines a good mix of Ranged and Melee powers. It has a healthy dose of soft control, good damage, and with Mud Pots - one of the best Damage Auras available.

    Earth Assault:

    1 Stone Spears2 Stone Mallet4 Tremor10 Hurl Boulder16 Power Boost20 Heavy mallet28 Seismic Smash35 Mud Pots38 Fissure
    Additionally, we also conducted a mini-proliferation pass on the Ancillary and Patron Power Pools, adding 5th powers to most Pools and adding Blaze Mastery for Scrappers. This has been something which people have been asking for since Fire primaries and secondary's were given to them.
    We hope that all these new powersets and combinations will provide our players with even more ways to enjoy Paragon City and the Rogue Isles so Go! Hunt! Kill Skulls!

    Ouch!

    It's kind of funny that "Painkillers Karl" and "Drunk Karl" sound the same on Skype. Good talking to you again dude. Enjoy your days off of work.

    As cool as that would be, that would mean we'd need a new patron that gives Earth powers.

    I'm for it!
