    1. An extremely wicked or cruel act: "war atrocities".
    2. A highly unpleasant or distasteful object: "the house was a split-level atrocity"

    Nothing loaded about the word.

    I believe what you're looking for is the Game of Thrones, which you can find in the Culture section of the forums.
  5. I don't think there's a general resistance to changing or updating the CoT. The overall vibe I got from the thread was the specific changes that were being resisted.

    Other than that, I agree. Give us a heads up, maybe even show us some concept art.

    By the way, have you noticed my intriguing thread recently posted in the Kheldian sections?

    This is not to say I take the Thorns seriously now, but at least it's not a costume issue.
  10. I've got a Necro Storm that I'll be using for double prestige earning for the VG.

    Sing it with me!

    We're Thorns, we're Thorns in tights.
    We roam around Perez Park looking for fights.
    We're Thorns, we're Thorns in tights.
    We'll steal your body and kick out your soul, that's right!
    We may look like sissies, but watch what you say or else we'll put out your lights!
    We're Thorns, we're Thorns in tights,
    Always on guard, reciting demonic rites.

    [Dance number, chorus line style, complete with ghosts]

    We're Thorns, MANLY Thorns, we're Thorns in tights. Yeah!
    We roam around Perez Park looking for fights.
    We're Thorns, we're Thorns in tights.
    We'll steal your body and kick out your soul, that's right!
    We may look like pansies, but don't get us wrong or else we'll put out your lights.
    We're Thorns, we're Thorns in tights (tight tights),
    Always on guard, reciting demonic rites.
    When you need XP, just come find the Thorns in tights!

    We're butch.

    Ok, that's more than two. So just traps, then.
  13. I'll do all within my power to make it to this event.

    No he doesn't. Particularly not with mine.

    Bots/Traps is more than likely the most overpowered thing this game will ever see, but I've got experience with Mercs, Thugs, Necro, Demons, Storm, Pain, Thermal and Dark. All of these combinations have incredible potential, from x8 maps to soloing GMs. Hell, the bots/traps can do it on SOs.

    These aren't entirely correct. Dark Nova Emanation doesn't actually do any knockback. The Dwarf Strike is knock down.

    Yes, I do. I use Unchain Essence as often as it's up, but even then, it's every sixty seconds. I can't call that regularly cycled.

    Gravitic Emanation, as I mentioned earlier, is a control power, not an attack, thus the exclusion from my mention.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is a good idea.

But even with it I wouldn't say they're heavy on KB like an Energy Blaster or a PB.
    Well, yes, there is that one. But in practice, you only take that power if you skip Nova, which is why I omitted it.

    At the end of the day, your warshade still only has one regularly cycled AoE KB attack.

    I see. In which case, I have just one more comment.

    Fix'd.

    The blaster still gets one shield, up to two self heals (Hoarfrost/Aid Self), starts with more HP and has a much easier time reaching relevant softcaps.

    As another option, the blaster could get one resistance shield and a tier nine, but forgoing the second heals.

    I'm not going to claim that one is better than the other. That's all I'm saying.

    I did the same, except that I would certainly not claim that the human form PB is any more survivable than the blaster.
  24. Here are my two biggest requests:

    Alternate animations for fire attacks, such that I could always attack with the fire sword or never attack with the fire sword.

    and

    MFing Kheldian Power Customization!

These simple additions to systems already in the game could revitalize MMs.
    If it were that simple and easy, it would have been done already. Standard Code Rant applies.

    Again, it's just not that easy.

    If you don't understand the code involved in a system, don't comment on the complexity of proposed changes.
