Quote:Hey, my fire/fire blaster's registration card says 'hero' just like everyone else's!
And what is your Heroes source of fire?
Cause if it's Science,Mutant or Magic having direct control over what your fire burns is quite plausible.
For Natural and Tech it's slightly harder but somewhat doable.
For Longbow Flamethrowers there is no control over what the fire does evident only where it goes. -
I've seen that future a couple of times and brought back some souvenirs to the Present Recluse. He knows not to mess with me regardless of what he does.
Plus it was only Atlas Park and probably most of Paragon that was destroyed.
Cities can be rebuilt and there was a very healthy showing of Arachnos Troops there. Not all of them were robots whereas Tyrants Army is primarily robots. -
Hiya.
CoH has a healthy population. However a majority of the game's content takes place in instanced missions.
Additionally many players are taking their high level characters into the special Weekly Strike Target missions. These two things can make it seem like no one is around.
Check out the Server specific forums and try to find out about Public Chat channels for team forming as those work across instances and zones. -

(b)We're already given the opportunity to support people who are hella worse. Really, why is throwing in with Arachnos seen as higher on the mental health scale than throwing in with the folks across the dimensional gap?
Well ultimately Recluse's Goal is to take over the world. In Recluse's future there is room for metahumans to live and prosper.
Cole wants to take over the world. In Cole's Future he is the only Metahuman alive. -

I discovered a brand new rule in team recruiting.
Apparently there is a NO StalkerS (we're allowed to have one) rule that I was unaware of.
So there I was in RWZ looking for an Apex team. Someone was recruiting so I send them a tell and get "Sorry we already have a Stalker on the team." Needless to say I was quite boggled about it. and responded "Since when is having more damage on the team a bad thing unless your lacking in other areas?"
Naturally I never heard back from them. Unfortunatley I actually forgot to make a player note for them. Went ahead and helped a Mastermind with the Honoree mission from Ramiel and made a new friend though.
So remember everyone NO StalkerS (we're allowed to have one) -
The Overview has it listed as 2 separate features
the First being Leagues(multiple teams combined into 1 big team)
the Second being an upgraded LFG(Flag for Incarnate trial,wait til enough people also flag, automatically start trial in a League)
So Leagues are useful for Ship Raids,CoP,Hami,GM's etc.
Raid Queue's are for the Incarnate Trials only. -
Using Common Sense my Stalkers inherant ability is called Assassination. This ability is mainly used through the power Assassin's Strike.
I'm using my Assassin's Strike ability to trigger the Assassination effect, my target is now dead.
Goodbye Hamidon,Reichman,Staesman,Recluse and any other enemy I decide to Assassinate. Common Sense right? -
Quote:You're right so it's all good then.Well, the description says Sky Raiders for heroes but the villains have to contend with Circle of Thorns yet again. Devs still hate villains?
Now I just have to remember if 20-25 was when CoT spawn nothing but ghosts or if that was 15-20 -
Quote:I agree wholeheartedly.
But like I said I'm sure there'll be plenty of over-reactive angst to comment on in the days to come.
I'll never underestimate peoples' ability to find -something- to whine about in this game.
Is it too early to predict that the Hero TF will take half the time but reward twice the merits of the villain one? And that the Villain one will involve more difficult encounters compared to the Hero one? -
The entire system needs to be looked at again.
The rewards are completely out of whack in so many areas it's ridiculous.
Take Dr. K 30 minutes and you get 30 merits. Great, godd for you.
Now look at Baracuda and the 20 merits you get in 1 hour.
The Whole system is messed up and completion Time should have never been used as the primary factor to determine the rewards. -
Quote:Honestly? I used to like the Sister Psyche TF. But since some demented soul at Paragon decided that every single spawn absolutely must have a Super Stunner I have learned to despise it. I absolutely hate that mob. Their end drain is completely over the top. It nearly approaches Malta Sapper levels of effectiveness.
You know a Stalker could help with that problem. -
I've actually tried to play cities at work, but the computers here are so bare bones and dated that it won't run at all.
-
I understand your point about the Speed LGTF and letting the hostages die, however in game lore suggests that our characters are equipped with various teleportation tags. So why can't you slap a medical transporter on Infernia and Glacia before things get crazy?
As a matter of fact it's entirely your own fault that they die, since you never had the foresight to give them a medical transporter tag in case things get bad.
Shame on you. -
To be fair in the competition the heroes and villains don't really team up the way we do here.
It's more like how Hamidon is.
Heroes go fight him on their terms.
Villains go fight him on their terms.
Same in the competition
Heroes go fight BBEG on their terms
Villains go fight BBEG on thier terms -
I don't see how this makes sense with what I replied but let me try to clarify things from my end.
I assumed in your post about that new game that came out this week(the one featuring a crossover dream battle between 2 wildly popular franchises) was the game you were referencing in the post I replied to. Having the Collectors Edition of said game I have a mini comic explaining how things got to the point they did within the game.
Spoilers for crossover dream battle part 3
The villains of the two universes decide to team up and take over the respective worlds, in order to do this they need a power source strong enough to open a stable portal. They decide to use Mr Planet Eaters stuff in order to power their portal. Mr. Planet Eater finds out and is very much pissed off about it. So now we have an angry Mr. Planet Eater standing at the front door while the portal fuses the two dimensions together. Team Up Time! But only cause the villains did something really dumb.
End Spoilers
So without the villains having been dumb the hero villain team up wouldn't be necessary, you could still have the crossover nature maintained with Heroes vs Villains. -
Quote:it works in comics and video games...one of which released earlier this week and I need to buy when I get paid next week >.>
Yeah but that only happens because the Villains decided to do something really really dumb.
Also in Comics and Video games you don't see it happening every new issue or with every new game. Here it happens very frequently. -
You sure about that?
I thought it was treated the same as a trial respec.
You know the kind you have to earn. -
So there I am setting up an Assassin's Strike
Then the other Melee charges in with LR, and naturally Ice Mistral open up with Ice Storm.
Why does Teaming hate Stalkers so much? -
The Aeon cutscene isn't the problem with the STF. the problem with the STF is the Security Chief mission.

Dev actions have excluded Empathy. It's how Pain Domination came about. which I mentioned when talking about empathy.
it's true Ice Armor/Melee haven't actually been excluded but to date it hasn't been proliferated. Though that doesn't necessarily mean anything. -
To: muan
fair points, and while proliferation is the default exceptions have been made for Dev AT concept clashes.
when Pain Domination was made it was in response to the desire for Empathy red side. Empathy wasn't ported because of AT concept clash.
The same thing happened when Shield Defense came out.
Stalkers where excluded because of AT concept clash.
So Ninjitsu is being excluded because of AT concept clash.
whether that's a good enough reason or not is debatable, but it's all we have to go on.
to Jade
Ninjitsu isn't the only power excluded from Proliferation.
Empathy and Ice Armor have also been excluded.
As for Powersets that make AT's unique
while I may not have an example for all of them.....
Blasters > Devices and technically all Manipulation sets.
Dominators > Assault sets
Masterminds > how about all of their Primaries, and Poison
Stalkers > Ninjitsu (obviously)
Tankers > Ice Armor
Controllers > Illusion
All 4 Epic AT's
Defenders are the only Blue Side AT with Dark Blast/Miasma
Corruptors are the only Red Side AT with Blast sets.
Scrappers are the only Blue Side AT with Broadsword
Now while the last 3 have questionable uniqueness the sets mentioned are unique to them for that side.
Of course with Side Switching that is fairly moot but for starting on the specific side it's still the only way to get those sets. -
The Clockwork King always had the best action figures.
Manticore was the first kid to get the newest toy. -
No,no,no, it's all a side effect of the mandated 2 hour television breaks.
Finally the new rec schedule has filtered through the system and Arachnos Soldiers can watch more TV.
