Quote:Sometimes it's worth spending 3 hours hunting down every last part of the plans to get a weapon that can fire 1500 rounds in 30 seconds to the tune of Tchaikovsky's Overture from 1812. Oh, and the weapon does so much damage anything you use it on will melt within 2 seconds, so if you actually want to HEAR the music, you have to burn ammo (and a LOT of cash).Originally Posted by Chase_Arcanum
I only saw it on the news.
That's one of those "oops" moments that I find more enjoyable than sitting through 20 minutes of gradual detonations.
On topic, I REALLY hope they buff Boxing and Kick (by giving kick a 6s recharge) so it's not a wasted pick, even on melee toons. -

So Medicine is getting Bat-Shark Repellent?
That seems pretty useless since there are no Sharks.(technically Mako and the Praetorian guy aren't sharks they're shark men) -

Quote:I believe all previously Ascended Incarnates had no alternate versions - the Well of the Furies empowered Statesman, Lord Recluse, Hero 1, Emperor Cole, and Reichsman. Rularuu itself is an Ascended that transcends Universes, and is only trapped in the Shard because it was fractured into multiple aspects by the Dagger of Jocas. Hamidon, if it was able to either merge with it's primal counterpart ("Divided We Fall", the second Praetorian invasion event last year) or consuming Emperor Cole (the then champion of the well) is the only other entity we know of that could possibly be ascended (though some have theorized that DJ Zero is one).Originally Posted by Captain_Aegis
Isn't Rularuu an alternate version of the Dream Doctor, or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Mr. G may look old (yes, older than Agent G), but not 90+. I also don't recall Mr. G having any superhuman abilities. Instead he just seems to be very well informed with lots of contacts behind the scenes.

The information we have on the Center, from Viridian's utterly EPIC arc:

The next one will be difficult. Very difficult. I have an invitation for the Center, the leader of the Council. He won't fight you. He's over 90 years old, and though he's a mutant, he has no combat mutations. What he does have is an extremely devious mind, 70 years of experience, and his own army with numerous meta-human assets. He's grown conservative with age, but even more cunning. He's rebuffed every other offer to meet, but with all the others whom you've gathered already, he's let my agents know he might be interested. That is, if whoever I send can survive to deliver the invitation. That's your job.
Any Questions? -
I still have mine - I don't dare open the battery pack since I pretty sure I left the batteries in there when I got bored with it 12 years ago.
I probably have a good decade before they burn through. -

Quote:Damage Patches that if the player is just past the center of the patch (or it's otherwise off screen) that renders the entire patch invisible but still able to destroy your character in under 5 seconds - and the damage ticks are all but invisible when compared to the red rocks on the ground.Originally Posted by NaoGal
And what sort of game mechanics would you use that are not (in your opinion) overutilized, uninspired and uncreative?

Quote:Explain why Stealth was the only combat defensive pool power who's Defense bonus WASN'T gutted with the I5 Global Defense Nerf, if the devs never thought we'd be using it for mitigation (and felt that the end cost/movement penalty was enough to off set it's bonus).Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Stealth is meant for when you are trying to sneak but might get caught anyway. That's why it has the movement penalty and end cost. It allows you to fight back without having to detoggle first. But just because a power can be used in combat doesn't mean it's meant to be.

Quote:Is it just me or is his high level List showing his OLD ability from I7 (when he showed up as a combat enemy on Primal Earth for the first time) rather than his revamp in i20 (Mortimer Kal has him summon Demonlings from Demon Summoning rather than the old Behemoth Demons). Is Kal the only place where that was changed?Originally Posted by Trickshooter
EDIT: A good example using an AV/Hero is Infernal. If you wanted to see what powers Primal Earth Infernal has, and you looked him up in the Vindicators, it would look like he has no attacks except summoning demons:
Low-level Infernal powers
High-level Infernal powers -

No, it's beneficial for everyone who can build defense using the invention system.

I'd go so far as to say some powers need a nerf to hell and back:

Yes, and implied they're doing something -else- instead. Which is probably just going to be adding more Ancillary pools, but we'll see I guess!

99% of the game is now free, compared to pre-Freedom when 0% of the game was free.
Why are people having difficulty with this math?
...Because all the stuff from before Freedom doesn't count, OBVIOUSLY.
/sarcasm 0
And there's a LOT of stuff coming out for sale, so it kinda washes out the freebie stuff. -
I'm 99% sure the Revamp to Blasters, Ranged Damage and similar changes will give us a Free Respec in i24.

Quote:A few psi/cold corruptors, and a few Rad/Sonic Defenders. I bet 5 minutes would be a slow run if everyone packed Seers/Carnies.Originally Posted by Aurora_Girl
Yeeeeeeeeah...two runs down into the 20s, only to have someone "accidentally" kill a Light was...frustrating, to say the least.
Wouldn't you be able to check Tyrant's info window for that info? Also, for the best chances of success you'd just need a bunch of Psi/Rad Corruptors, and they'd have him down within five minutes.

Since I own all 6 issues of the comic book, I say this counts.

Quote:Or just add a terminal that can be clicked to instantly trigger the next wave.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
I agree, the question is how to change it? The simplest solution is to either speed up the waves or have the next wave come a set time after the previous wave is cleared. The problem there is that is a respec trial and one that has a failure mechanism. Since it is a respec trial it needs to be possible to complete it with a very suboptimally built team and the problem with speeding the waves up is that if a team is having trouble faster waves might overwhelm them and the trial has a failure mechanism.
Now the Thorn trial is harder but since it doesn't have a failure mechanism a poor team can at least take several attempts. Personally I'd advocate the same option for the TV trial. Have a couple of small waves when you enter the chamber followed by a relatively easy AV. Short and sweet. -
Quote:Wouldn't that require constant input since you're not in Task Force mode? Wouldn't you be auto-logged?Originally Posted by MisterD
A better way, and one the would not require going afk in a zone..is one I suggested to a friend around V day. It requires having a V Day tip still..which may be hard. Then you set the mission for 8, go into one of the missions, stand in the middle of the huuge mob of allies and auto cast rebirth, getting about..15k? heal points every 2 mins.

Quote:Imperial City - same place that they showed off the new stuff for Blasters a couple weeks ago.Originally Posted by Energizing_Ion
So on FB City of Heroes put up a picture of Water Blast:
My question is:
Where is the action taking place? I don't recognize any of the visuals/buildings...part of a revamped Kings' Row, IP? Or just a section of Praetoria that I don't recall since I don't play there that much? -
Bug: Run speed is showing as 1.4mph no matter what powers are/are not activated. Makes building a Stone Armor more problematic.

Quote:Basically this - usually the Super packs hold little interest for me beyond the first two or so boxes (First gives me the costume set, second pads out my xp boosters/windfalls/unslotters/enh boosters). Catalysts are FAR too rare for me to justify buying the packs without the added shiny (aside from MAYBE using paragon reward tokens).Originally Posted by Venture
Would I be unhappy about it? No, but....
...it would mean I wouldn't touch the next set with someone else's hand.
