Is it high rank at AOE?

So now the version you can get at real cash cost is inferior unless being used with Stamina.
Seriously, iit was just a bad idea to make the store enhancements play by different rules. They need to be a simple bought version of IOs, and IOs need to be level independent. -

The hilarious thing with a 'small audience' argument is that, like PVP, the audience is only so small because the implemented feature is so bad. Minecraft certainly is not a small audience.

As far as the other person nattering on about dinos everywhere having been found bristling with pinfeathers, yeah right. I'll file that right next to "I WAS KIDNAPPED BY BIGFOOT!" claims. Hope that does not sound "snobby."
They got the bone you either accept it, claim some reason it actually is not feathers, or find a way to bring the evidence into question. What you did is try to plug your ears and chant NONONO. -
Quote:Mutant themed content can be mutant themed groups. How silly is it to have only the outcasts and sort of carnies representing an entire origin?Originally Posted by Venture
Still way behind on this.
The real problem with "mutant-themed content" is the X-Men style "mutant stigma". It is very, very difficult to write mutant content without going near some kind of racial prejudice and/or eugenics issues, and Marvel in general and Claremont in particular have poisoned that well for the next ten generations. -

It might have something to do with another superhero MMO on the market these days that runs based on a Hero System IP... but I could be way off base.
As for myself, I play Star Hero and said IP Hero on a regular basis (i.e. every 2 weeks, PnP).
And one of these days I will get to play some ongoing M&M 3e. -
Quote:A bow can be a lot of different origins, except mutant, and even that is possible.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Well, you know, it's hard to hide the fact that those arrows came from a bow.
Sorcery however is explicit and so are demons. 'Sorcery' is supposed to work by explaining how you do the powers the game has now! -
Quote:This is why I do not count Rularuu as magic content. But if you have a traditional religious or mythical or magical reference, like an angel, or voodoo, or etc., then it is not just a supernatural horror.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
It is - this isn't Elves and Dwarves magic, it's more like supernatural/horror than anything fantasy.
The amount of it far exceeds any other individual origin, especially villain content in which 3 of the patron pools are mystical, and each zone has a mystical monster living in it driving the story arcs. Mutant origin? 0 zones and not a lot of arcs of any kind. Sci and Tech TOGETHER get Peregrine Island, RWZ, a few more, and about as much general presence across zones as magic only. Depending how you want to interpret incarnates it gets a lot more than Sci and Tech.Quote:Originally Posted by Hopeling
It isn't a balance of them. GG had to include a zone that isn't even live yet, and only go back a few issues, for it to even look like it's almost balanced. We've gotten disproportionately more magic lately, true. If that represents a permanent change in direction, it's maybe something to object to. But just letting Magic-origin characters have the spotlight for once should not be a problem. -
Just say no to the origin specific powersets!
-
Oh my.
They made up for an awful first mastermind set!
I still want to slot them in non henchmen powers though. -
Quote:It should not be a balance of them. Sci fi should be a lot MORE common because that is what can not only differentiate you from the WOW crowd, but is more appropriate to the comic book universes.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Nova Praetoria First Ward
Imperial City Dark Astoria
Neutropolis Night Ward
Atlas Park
In addition, you have a list of both Sci Fi zones AND modern zones. A better distribution is to have an approximately equal representation of each ORIGIN, not one origin with almost as much as the others combined. -
ROB LIEFELD HAS ARRIVED AND CONQUERED
Upcoming costume editor preview is here
Seriously, while some like it you need variety, and this game has been on a dark age binge since about the GR release, with the exception of Sutter. I still point to the issue 17 villain arc as the example of what I would like from content. Plenty of choice, lots of variety not just of environments but 'weight,' and cheesy supervillain options like a clone army. The way to a big success, particularly during a recession, is escapist fare, not the tales of Brock Hardcheese the pocket monster, or comics tropes from an era of economic boom. -
Quote:Yeah, I got them by an extra $10 at GameStop vs. competitors.Originally Posted by Dark Energon
I have the Gamestop GR pre-oder, and i had to wait until GR went live for my powersets, while others who per-ordred it online got them right away.
It may not be a price tag, but it was 6 months extra waiting to get what i paid for at the same time as my friends. Even had to wait a day extra for it to be released in the store, while all my friends were in Praetoria due to the early launch online.
I hated it when they got in the Reward Program, because they do say EXCLUSIVE on the box.
Why are OTHER excluives advertised as exclusives OK to give, but not those? -
So, basically.
The game is full of bad slotting possibilities. However, in my desire to slot the recharge intensive auras, a very intelligent slotting option, I am running into the slotting protection of both DS and henchmen. -
Why?
-
Short term yes but I expect the game population would be much higher now if PVP existed.
-
But purples and the super booster ATOs include recharge anyway.
-
Upgrade how?

Quote:It should also take a regular attack SO technically but of course it would not be optimal slotting.Originally Posted by Necrotech_Master
well, i am extremely doubtful it will ever get musculature to enhance it because it does not take dmg enhances, thats how alpha was designed to affect powers which took said enhances
i do not believe the servant not using the rech intensive pet sets is a bug, but i do not know the official reasoning behind it -
Well as owner of a set of CoV collectors' I heartily endorse letting others buy them.
-
Thank you
-
Well I bought each of the other preorder exclusives and every single instance is now available other ways.
-
It would not make a lot of sense to use a slot that way, but no other power in the game has such a rule by what is 'sensible' to slot. Not being able to use them is a glitch.
The primary reason I would want it is to slot the recharge intensive auras, though it would be gravy to also get a proper musculature enhancement. -
Yes, that is what I am trying to say. Perhaps whoever set up its slotting rules long ago simply did not know it has attacks.
