    I'll get right on that, as soon as I'm done animating these bug fixes for TF/SF levels.
    It's just been confirmed, TF/SF bugs as well as Mac bugs are animation-related.

    The Devs have tried to keep this a secret for too long! You better get on top of these bugs, BABs.
  2. These threads seem to keep coming back over and over, and as little as I play Co* anymore, I still have a place in my heart for Masterminds. However, as badly as Mercenaries need help compared to other MMs, they still outperform other ATs in multiple areas, or as friends have said, "Buffing an MM set for underperforming? That's funny." That said, most of the damage attacks need to be faster animating, the Spec Op's controls need to be faster recharging (About a recharge that's 2.5x the duration(unenhanced) at most), more substantial survivability, and to throw out the Medic altogether and get something that adds damage.

    Seeker Drone's To-Hit is resistible by PToD De-buff Resistance, but the -Damage is only resisted based on Damage Resistance, not the basic 85% AV resistance. Basically the Protector's Seekers + your own Seekers can take up to 80% off an AV's damage before your own resistance and Bodyguard. Oh, and Poison Trap's Hold isn't unresistible, just has an occasional vomit effect.
  4. I should be in Closed Beta because if you haven't done it right until you've done it with me.

    Of course, they had to get this working before Heroes get Masterminds, M-I~rite?

    Actually, if Spears were thrown with the off-hand(Like Valkyrie) it would be more a problem of slow animations than redraw, I would think.

  10. So I can laugh at the people who are not in it.

    Then get thrown out of the beta.

    But it was all worth it because I selfishly threw it away to mock those who didn't get in.

    Because I could.

    Yup.

    There's a problem even present in that video.

    FRAME-RATE!

    But no, HnS has spoken. That video clearly states it's a secondary weapon to Swords and Spears, so we should get both of those first, then whips.

    If I recall correctly, Issue 10 and Issue 11 had more than most before or since, but Issue 12 was definitely the low point in Closed Beta invites.
  16. I might get back into Doms if I get some Whip and Chain action...

    .... That came out all wrong....

    Hopefully we won't experience the knee-jerk effect because of Issue 15 and devolve back to Issue 12 in terms of invites.
  18. But I think we can all agree Stalkers and possibly Scrappers are going away and never coming back. *Starts trouble*

    That's a rumor; no such community ever made it to Virtue! The RPers on Virtue don't even tolerate or entertain.
  20. It's quite nice if you want to tank or just mez a lot of minions. If you're paired up with another MM and both of you take it you can mez full mobs quite effectively.

    I16 Closed Beta

    I figured I'd throw this on the fire....

    So a friend of mine got invited to Closed Beta for Issue 16.

    They haven't played the game since the Free Week, and hadn't paid for an account for a long time before that, and have no intentions of coming back.

    Evidently Comic Con go-ers and people who aren't even interested in this game anymore get a free ride.
  22. 1.) Skewer

    2.) ???

    3.) Profit
  23. Well, with both the Equips/Upgrades the only ones that might run into melee are the Drones, but most of the time your pets have something to do(Like animating) while attacks recharge. Previous to 32, consider bringing your fight a little closer to your enemies.

    Except Fiery and Electricity already have Build Up and Fiery Embrace, not to mention with so many melee powers, Earth benefits well from the modifier.

    But I opt we wait and see.
