    It is politics that made it's way into the game, a place it has no business being.
    FREEM started on the Colbert Report.
    "Take the do out of Freedom"
    Yes, it is a comedy show. But it is a comedy show about politics. I come to CoH to get away from all that, not to be reminded of it.
    I so very much wish FREEM would just die.
    Chill out... Freem is an April Fools Joke that has everything to do with this game.

    Please leave your tinfoil hat at home next time.

    The -damage does stack.

    My Dark/Fire runs without body mastery and did so before any of the incarnate system, so you'll be fine without it.

    Soul Mastery will be difficult, because that's an expensive toggle. Use it as necessary and you should be fine.
  4. DA/KM will be incredible. Power Siphon on top of a damage aura is good for your soul.
  5. I know you said you were leaning away from EATs. But I have to suggest it anyway.

    You want to play the MFing Warshade. Link's in my sig.

    Further retort - they're powers that, if you don't have to use them, you haven't turned up the difficulty enough.

    Eh... I'm fair certain their phase power is *different* than the rest and this idea won't really work.

    This is kind of off topic, but I'd just like to retort that that brief period you're dead doesn't exist if the power is on auto. And remember that these powers also stun the enemies.

    Poor wording, to be honest. He didn't make assumptions, so much as illogical conclusions.

    Hell, I've been on Master runs that take less than an hour.
    I'm going by what I'd assume to be the average player. The fact remains that not everybody is equipped to handle the entire Freedom Phalanx.

    Any LRSF I've joined has been sub 1 hour. The Mo I was last on was even shorter. It was chock full of incarnate corruptors though, so there you have it.

    Unless he talks in any broadcast or global channel, is seen traveling between missions, or joins groups made in broadcasts or channels.

    Now now, Sam, not all women like their weapons large.

    At least, that's what she told me...

    Safe guess? 30.

    More realistic? 10.



    Dechs Kaison outfits: Business man with trench and fedora, business man without trench and fedora, doctor's outfit, Thompson Ninja hero disguise, powered armor.

    I'd like to fit my other three Thompson Ninja outfits at least, and maybe some street clothes. And the doctor outfit without the lab coat buttoned up. And a complete robot costume that can be his drone he'd send out and another one that's his trench/fedora outfit but with a glowing aura to signify a projected image. And a Nazi outfit for when he's reminiscing. Oh, and there's at least once that I've wanted a "lab accident outfit" which looks like a disheveled doctor's outfit.

    TL;DR - If you give me the slots, I'll find a way to fill them.
  14. Alright, who else thinks this powerset needs to be paired with Berserker?

    I know I can't be the only one....

    I did send it before posting, but we'll see who's arrives first.

    Regardless, welcome back!
    Yeah, I sent the invite, then sent a PM, then checked the topic and responded to you, then edited in for Snow Globe.

    /echo the Welcome back!

There's likely no way to tell who's is who's, though, because our account names are not the same as our forum names (at least they shouldn't be, for security sake). If I were him, I'd just go with the first email, or maybe I'd roll a d20.
  16. Hey,

    Who else thinks this would be the perfect set to be paired with the newly announced Titan Weapons?

    Huh? Huh? Tell me you wouldn't want a huge character, swinging an abnormally sized weapon, getting faster and stronger as he goes. Go on. Tell me you wouldn't.
  17. Curse you, EK! I sent him one too.

    EDIT: Same goes for you Snow Globe!

    Titan weapons

    You know what secondary would be perfect with Titan Weapons?

    Berserker.
  19. I wonder if that'll be a per character thing or global.

    Considering how booster packs work now, I'd have to assume global...

    This is usually where I'd assume that you have ended up on quite a few ignore lists, but instead I'll offer that, despite being the WTF, a LRSF is not a popular task. It takes too much time and has too much risk for too little a reward for most players. And it's redside.

    I just laughed way too hard at imagining a scenario of people avoiding flaming crocodiles in a plane that may at any point fall to pieces.

    I /hide all the time too. That doesn't mean I don't team.

    Would you like to make any more assumptions?

    Not a problem. Very few people know how that particular mechanic works, in large part due to a lack of documentation on it.

    In case you're interested, the formula is:

    ModMezDuration = 100 / (100 + MezResist) * MezDuration

    It's exactly like recharge. The value is in the denominator, so you get less and less benefit for each percentage point you add.

    Momentum

    1) We have no idea how the set will work, mechanically. A click heal may not break the "chain" for all we know.

    2) The set is still under development and a long time away. There is a good chance it may change.
