    I was under the impression that upgrade is now an AoE but it doesn't seem to be on mine

    [/ QUOTE ]The animation only plays on the pet you target, but the upgrade itself affects them all. The others just don't do the animation that comes with it. Do you not notice the green smoke coming from their mouths after the upgrade?

    I can "upgrade" each zombie more than once... ie the power fires off and animations work.

    [/ QUOTE ]That's the way pet upgrades have always worked. You -can- upgrade each pet more than once, but there's really no reason to do this as it has no effect.
  2. Sonic Attack fits an Air Blast set nicely enough already, no? And this is just dull compared to that, sorry.
  3. Even if it's a robe-like cloak I'll probably love it and buy it. I like flowy garments...

    Valentine's Event happens entirely inside Pocket D: three missions in which the last has to have a member of the opposite faction to be completed and then beat Snaptooth 5 times (or more).

    [/ QUOTE ]There's a mission outside of Pocket D. Or at least there was this year; recovering or stealing presents for Manticore and Sister Psyche's wedding, depending on faction.

    The accolade power doesn't appear until you log on to get the badge, then log off in the same location to earn time on the power, then log on again.

    [/ QUOTE ]Just confirming this, tested with the Mercenary Accolade (Fragmentation Grenade power).

    Ugh, my HEAD..!

    Well then, how about a freaking siren or something that actually sounds like an alarm, not some kind of silly dingaling thing.

    What's bizarre to me is how many people moan about the Sonic Attack sound effects (which seem completely fine to me) yet only one other person seems bothered by the pitch of the villain tutorial dingaling.
    And don't tell me to skip the tutorial, I want the badge and the free level up; and Heroes don't have to put up with this [censored].

    Ah well, guess I'm in the minority here then.
  7. But you don't even get patrol XP at level 50, so you have 'nothing to do with them' as it is already.

    You get to do a mission once every 2 hours?

    [/ QUOTE ]Why? Are your characters handicapped? You can just run/fly/jump/teleport normally and save the teleporter for the odd mission on the far side of Independence Port.

    Ugh, my HEAD..!

    Could we PLEASE get rid of that stupid 'dingaling dingaling dingaling' noise in the background in the beginning of the Villain tutorial? Please? Every single time I create a new Villain I end up with a painful headache from that horrible noise. Just the right pitch/frequency/whatever to be absolutely agonizing.
  10. I honestly can't remember how long it took to get my first/main 50 since I wasn't actively powerleveling him or anything; was just cruising through the story arcs. Someone else from the GGOOC channel might remember.

    Where states fights bearhands, this idiot needs a spiderpack to even do damage.

    [/ QUOTE ]It's not a spiderpack, those spider limbs actually grow out of his back. He's just plated them.

    and if you decide to go the perma-dom route

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Which will be pointless as it is something that is being looked at for being nerfed, if they haven't done so already.

    [/ QUOTE ]Less "nerfed", more changing how Domination works in general so people would not underperform if they're not Permadoms; one idea was to give Domination's damage bonus when -not- in Domination, which is lost and replaced with the mez bonus when -in- Domination.
  13. Favorites? Gosh, I dunno. Lord Nemesis/Mender Silos is always cool, especially as we've obviously not really seen anything from the guy yet. Anything could end up being some zany, drawn-out yet brilliant plot in a few issues, which was right under our noses.
    Who else? Hm. Probably Requiem for once leading the most badass faction in the game. We'll be back, you'll see. Also, his outfit is just intimidating and respect-generating somehow. On top of all that, he seems to be a very rare example of a symbiotic Nictus-host relationship. Add onto that his resentment for the Council (who are allied with the regular Nictus) and I can see something interesting growing out of this in the future, especially with the 5th Column related content/hint build-up we've been getting.
    Honorable mention goes to Vernon von Grun for being the most awesome Villain contact ever. I won't start spoiling it in case anyone's not done his arcs yet.

    Least favorite has to be Fusionette for obvious reasons. I never liked the Penelope Pitstop type damsels-in-distress who deliberately charge headfirst into trouble only to need rescuing a gazillion times. And in-game she's an Energy blaster, and I loathe uncontrolled knockback.
    The Vindicators. They're boring and uninteresting, completely overshadowed by the Freedom Phalanx as a faction and just about every other hero with a shred of backstory in the game as individuals. Personality-wise they're not much better, based on the Top Cow comics..
  14. It's weird though. A lot of powers with procs in them will damage or mez the caster anyway as it is, yet the enhancement category allowances haven't been removed just because of one or two procs.
  15. Like I said, it's the most common damage type in both pure or partial senses (partial meaning stuff like fire sword dealing fire/lethal). Softcap that and most things will bounce off you.

    Sure, you don't -need- it, but if you can easily get it, why not do so? Against most foes it's like playing Super Reflexes, with capped S/L resists and respectable other resists backing you up if anything -does- hit you.

    I started my Merc MM for rp purposes mostly but im saddened by reading this thread . They definitely have a good atmosphere on them (except commando rambo wanna be)).

    Spec ops control abilities are usefull but i noticed their web grenade negates the effects of other henchmen and our slug&M30 grenade knockback effect.Perhaps it could be changed with a slowing down effect.

    Still i dont think they will change anything.I like Mercs.

    [/ QUOTE ]Most people would prefer the immob to the knockback, I'd think.
  17. It's the Bane Executioners patrolling about near them that agro onto you mid-fight that annoy me.
  18. Oh, I think the ones in the Silver Mantis Strike Force count too.
  19. Eden or the Fab in Grandville, depending on side.. I'm guessing Villainside since Monster Island is a seperate zone for Villains, as opposed to a neighborhood for Heroes, as well as outdoor PPs being hard to find Villainside.. This is merely guessing from the tone of your post though.

    The Fab is the underground area of the island on the northern side of Grandville. Lotsa Paragon Protector Elites there. Get a team if you can.
  20. The passives are stronger and have some exotic debuff resists (most noticeable, DefDebuff resistance), there is no more defense penalty in Unyielding, Invincibility scales a little different now (stronger than before with few enemies, a tiny bit weaker with 10, but that barely ever happens anyway).

    The biggest buff to Invunlerability was indirect - the buff to Typed Defense set bonuses from IO sets. It's cheap and easy to softcap an Invul Tanker to S/L damage (the most common, either pure or partial damage type wise) with only one mob in Invincibility, and with a bit more inf you can do so for the other types as well, I'd guess.

    I may still have a few spare...

    New SR

    Anyone got any advise on whats skippable from SR

    [/ QUOTE ]Elude.

    That's about it.
  23. My bad, I fell for tooltip shenanigans again myself. Tooltip states it as Superior, but it's a little lower than Shadow Maul (I had forgotten the amount of damage Shadow Maul does). SL still does 35.59 more base damage than Smite though. 10.9 base damage less than Shadow Maul. 44.48 less damage than Midnight Grasp.

    Weston Phipps give some missions with freakshow in em.

    [/ QUOTE ]Not at level 50 though.

    Don't think there's any Freak-specific arcs in the 45-50 bracket. Individual missions involving level 50 Freaks can be received from the TV and Viridian, off the top of my head.

    I'd like a 50 of every villain AT, myself. Sadly I can't stand how widows pre-24 play, so I can't be arsed to level one up..

    Levelling pact?

    [/ QUOTE ]I'd only end up dragging my partner along myself, since I level faster (on average) than anyone else I know, apparently.

    Except Ced, but he only plays Heroes.
