    The -regen attributed to Twilight Grasp isn't listed in the in-game power documentation (for CoV, at least). Most people seem to believe it exists; has any red-name mentioned this?

    There's definitely no question Twilight Grasp is -regen.
  2. That one is nice.

    EDIT: Except the pennant is coming out of a queen.
  3. Awesomest bio ever! I felt chills.
  4. Of course we're not going to kill him. We get more for him from Doctor Vahzilok's Reapers if he's still alive. Duh.
  5. That's fine. The whole point is that it's not supposed to be any particular character of yours like a favorite or a main. As a matter of fact, quite the contrary. It's supposed to be the one you happen to be playing right when you alt-tab over and see the the thread.

    If you're not playing at the moment, it could be the next one you happen to load.

    Random immediacy, you see.
  6. A lot of us have mains and alts with perfectly polished bios posted somewhere outside the game for the interested. But, let's get realistic for a sec - the bio people see is the bio we have in the game, and the one for the guy you're on right now at that.

    So, I thought it would be fun if people posted screenshots of the in-game bios for the characters they currently happen to be on. How is it everyone sees you at the moment?

    Two things...

    I think he was asking if they'd only put this into PvP zones or if this was going to be in both modes of gameplay. I hope the answer is the latter.

    And congratulations on Mini-States!
  8. Isn't somebody supposed to say RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE?

    I've never understood this. Why is that?
  10. But are you the terror that flaps in the night?
  11. Maybe it's not a coincidence that there are no mice, birds, rats or squirrels in Paragon City.
  12. CUTENESS WILL NOT SAVE Y... aw, kittens!
  13. That happened to me and... Nymie, I think it was. Finished Cauldron and got Visitor but nothing else.
  14. Guys, I seriously doubt changes to the way knockback occurs are likely to happen. It seems to me the easier a change is to implement, the likelier a change is to happen.
  15. As a user of Energy Torrent (ET) and Explosive Blast (EB), I'd also like to ask for a damage increase to Explosive Blast. EB's damage is sufficiently low that many people skip it entirely, which is especially out of character for the second to highest power in the set. I have it and I have it slotted but I rarely use it. Solo, the damage from ET + EB is low enough that with a typical three mob spawn it is a better use of my Aim and Build-Up to use Bonesmasher on one mob, Power Burst on a second and Power Bolt/Power Blast on the third. In groups, its low damage output when compared to its mob scattering effect also makes EB an unfavorable choice unless I need to save someone or distract a group of mobs - that is to say, for positioning or aggro redirection, not so much for damage.

    I don't think raising the base damage on EB to where Aim + Build-Up + Energy Torrent + Explosive Blast would at least kill even con mobs would be all that bad, and the main reason I think that is that not all the mobs in the initial area of effect will be in the second area of effect or vice versa. Energy Torrent repositions mobs as well as Explosive Blast, so it is commonly the case that some mobs get hit by one, some get hit by the other and some get hit by both.

    I would also like to second the call to raise the base range on short range attacks like Power Burst. Range is our defense, but our most potent tools are commonly not all that ranged. Nevertheless, I need Power Burst for that third single target attack! Fancy footwork is fine, but Power Burst as it stands now actually synchs much more seamlessly with melee attacks from my secondary than with the other ranged attacks from my primary. I think Bitter Ice Blast serves as a model for a high damage third single target attack that provides a decent range without being unbalanced.

    Failing the range increases, would it be possible to have Range enhancements moved from schedule B to schedule A? Changing Range enhancers from 20% to 33% would make them considerably more attractive options when considering enhancements to fill up those spots after 1 Acc + 3 Dam.

    Energy/ in particular is extremely aoe-unfriendly for reasons listed in the consolidated issues thread, and mistformsquirrel's thread. I mean, consider the huge amount of scatter it's aoe's cause, and the late level you get the second one (explosive blast) the damage is pitiful!

    Energy Torrent is all right as is, I think, but Explosive Blast is very lackluster. If EB were just shored up, we'd be good to go.

    I did? Funny, I still read them every day.

    Oh, and I'm going to look at Blasters now that I've gone through the consolidated Defenders bug list. You guys got one?

    WARNING: SIDE TOPIC

    Just thought I'd mention Robot Rally. If you like board games and see Robot Rally I suggest you buy it. I also note they've just bought out a repackaged version of the game.
