It's possible.

This specific item that was linked to is the one that gives the chest logo and cape, correct?

Welcome to the game, dude. Have a great time.

Good idea, unlikely in the near future. /signed anyway.

why does lets say a Mercenary MM walk around with a Rocket laucher (for Commando) without using it?

[/ QUOTE ]They don't. Ever seen the actual upgrade animation?
[ QUOTE ]
or a thug MM around with uzi's without using thoes?

[/ QUOTE ]Okay, this one makes less sense. Other than shooting someone in the face with a bigass Magnum revolver gangsta-style looking far more stylish than spraying 9mm Uzi rounds all over the place.
Actually, you CAN use Uzis on a Thugs MM for a weapon model, if you want. (LOL MM ATTACKS) You're still stuck using the Pistol attacks though; Empty Clips might look good enough though.

its not animation time, its damage (brawl index). Animation time indeed is 1.5 secs. Seismic smash for instance does alot more damage than shatter..

[/ QUOTE ]Shatter can hit more than one target, no?

Some people might play them just for the story, but most won't.

Because no one ever read a novel just for the story...

What would be the point of having a custom mission creator if all you could do was newspaper-type missions? We already have newspapers for that. Gut the rewards, it's not like farmers bother to read mission descriptions anyway so they'll be content with their newspapers/TV mission/Behemoths.

The swiss-army-gun that is the Assault Rifle powerset does seem a bit past the 'ordinary gun' threshold, assuming you take more than two or three powers. <.<

Also, define powerless? Anyone can punch, but he certainly wouldn't punch nearly as effectively without having his fists wrapped in negative energy.

In fact Natural origin, like you mentioned, is probably hardest to rationalise it for unless the Dark Armor effect was produced by a magic relic or technology that the Natural origin character had obtained, yet their primary powers were innate to their race or achieved through training (hence Natural origin).

[/ QUOTE ]Ah, the age-old debate on whether using a gun makes a Natural character Tech, or whether using a mystical trinket makes a Natural character Magic.

Friend of mine has a Dark Melee/Ninjutsu Stalker that has these special bracelets that channel negative energy from the Netherworlds. His origin is Natural, though I would've picked Magic myself. He says he chose Natural because, all things considered, he's still just punching people in the face like any other ninja (well, any other ninja who prefers hand-to-hand combat to cutting people open with a katana), just with a bit of added damage from the bracelets, and the Ninjitsu powers are purely from ninja-training. To sum up, the natural/other line is very blurry and entirely subjective.

I'm pretty sure you get to change it every 10 levels past 15 and then indefinitely at 50, faction-specific titles open at 15, origin-specific ones at 25.

A merry birthday to you and many more to come.

Note: I'm not 100% sure about the Stalker side but I'm fairly certain it's true.

It summons a pseudo-pet, giving it a 400% damage cap as opposed to the regular 800% for Brutes (unsure of Stalker cap).
Fury and reds affect it like any other attack.
I don't think base damage modifiers affect it as I believe both ATs share the same pet.

Note: It doesn't break Hide on a Stalker (although it does cause agro) - this means that if you use a Defense based set, you have a good chance of opening with LR and following with an Assassin's Strike, if whatever didn't get knocked down doesn't manage to hit you, then finish whatever is left standing with a Thunder Strike.
Otherwise LR+TS works just fine too, followed by Placate+AS if necessary.

I am really sick of 'fairytale' endings when weak beats strong. Why can't strong beat weak?

Okay. Nemesis deletes all your characters from the Space time continuum. Bye bye.

Speaking of which, how about in-game ads on the sides of vans and trucks in general?

I didn't need the +Stealth because I had Cloak of Darkness

[/ QUOTE ]AFAIK, the +stealth IO stacks with CoD, making you pretty much invisible.

Actually, I was probably wrong there, now that I think about it. Activating Tough or Integration simply plays the /e tarzan emote.

I wish I could set a Carnie mission to only spawn Master Illusionists.

Any thoughts on powers?

Plenty. I'm at work, though, so I'll post 'em when I get home, assuming I remember to do so.

I like Praf's idea for a plasma blast with -regen as a nice meaty tier 3 like the Assault Bots get though.

[/ QUOTE ]Copied from the Assault Bot's power list: Plasma Blast (Energy, Knockback, -Regen)
Add some good damage to that and we have a third tier blast with -regen. And Knockback, like you wanted. Everyone wins!

Not liking the idea of partial Fire damage much, even if it does make sense. Reason being, Plasma is apparently considered to do Energy damage in CoX, example being the Plasma attacks used by the Assault Bot. Also, Pulse Rifle seems to be either Energy or Energy/Smashing in terms of damage types.

A Pulse Rifle blast set would also be great for the MMs out there, because it'd give the devs more incentive to finally make more unlockable Pulse Rifle models. Did they ever fix the Rikti Rifle? (No, not the Rikti Blaster - two different models)

[EDIT] Wait, where's Aim?

Yes, it's normal.

Count me in then.

Eh, would be somewhat annoying for the devs because they'd need to make new sound effects for several powers. Tough and Integration come to mind as examples.

I'd prefer a pure Martial Arts secondary (adjusted for Blaster needs to some degree, of course) rather than a bow-and-MA secondary, so it could be used with Assault Rifle for a Natutral toon as well. You know, like a Council Adjutant.

I'm really liking the Pulse Rifle set though, except for the noticeable lack of a third, stronger single target blast. Granted, Elec Blast is the same, but it has Voltaic Sentinel instead.
Maybe swap out the Knockback beam for something? The main secondary effect of the set appears to be Disorient anyway.

Would I be of any use at all?

Some of us ranged guys absolutely need to constantly be on range, otherwise we are squished in mere seconds.

There already exists ALOT of "offensive" moves for melee'rs to use against ranged people.
-fly, -jump, TP foe etc.

[/ QUOTE ]What about the melee guys who absolutely need to constantly be in melee range, otherwise they get blasted in mere seconds?

Snares, Repel, -Jump, high-mag Knockback/Knockup powers, Nemesis Staff veteran power, etc.
