I believe, when power customisation was released, that dev comment was that the powers call a specific model, the same as Granite does. This uses different Tech to model customisation and power customisation.

Too impatient. About another 3 hours -
I like the idea although I wouldn't get rid of training enhancement as they let you over slot to +2. Otherwise I quite like the idea.

Can you place it and it's not working? Or is it that you can't place it?
It needs to be in a Control Room. And, you need enough Energy and Control to power it. -
Is it possible he was shopped out to reinforce the message of the email? IE, they were missing you?
And the red beside the logo (manti/synapse's 'foot') is clearly the bottom of states' cape.
Weirdly enough, on looking closer, only the top of the quiver is there. There is clearly some of citidal's arm between the quiver and States' bicep on the left hand side. -
Quote:Are you posting about Defender or Blaster? Not that it really matters this thread is as pointless as every other 'This AT is useless' thread.Originally Posted by Generis
With the next power proliferation, Corrupters will end up with exactly he same powers as Defenders, including the longed for Psychic Blast.
Therefore, the only difference i see between them now is that one starts critting on a low target - Scourge - the other one starts getting an end discount and a 30prct dmg buff if he's in team, and someone in his team is taking damage.
Tbh i'd go for scourge any day on a Psy/Pain or Psy/Rad corr.
What do you guys think? Am i missing something or are they reducing blaster to the 2nd most useless AT after PBs? -
Quote:I think what Vanden means is your first suggestion has been done already, so your second suggestion should have been your first one. Null doesn't fix that problem.Originally Posted by Hercules
A good start but my suggestion would be a bit more global. Also, dont see anything about just not showing the graphical portion while accepting the actual buff.
As for totally removing buffs, the devs have said in the past (castle I belive, but I can't back that up) that there is no engine difference between a buff and a debuff except for the value of the number. So a Buff has a positive number and a debuff has a negative number. To allow you to remove buffs they'd have to allow you to remove debuffs... not a great idea.

Quote:Don't forget you're comparing one attack. To make it truely accurate you need to look at a chain for each, including the use of the debuffs and bufffs, which remove attacks.Originally Posted by Aett_Thorn
To top that off, a lot of the time, the Corruptor debuffs are going to be wasted. How many times is a single spawn going to get the full 90 seconds of debuff from Heat Loss? Most spawns will be dead long before that, which tilts the balance even more in favor of the Blaster, who's buffs can be used more strategically. Yes, the Corruptor's debuffs can help everyone on the team, but the Blaster does more damage, hands down.

Quote:If that person they buff is a blaster then they are doing shedloads more damage. And are you pulling these numbers out of your head?Originally Posted by Shubbie
Doesnt really work like that
Made up numbers here, but if a corruptor does 90% of blaster damage but makes even 1 other person 10% better, then they are doing as much damage.
Im not saying blasters dont do the most damage, im saying they dont do enough for doing nothing else.
This doesnt even account for the fact that blasters spend more time faceplanted than any other AT by far.
Also, the only reason I die on my blaster is the same as the reason I die on all my toons, I play reckless. My blaster dies only marginally more than my tank, and it's granite. -
Quote:So which below stack like that? How many Vanguard Merits to the Reward merit? Or AE tickets to the Astral merit?Originally Posted by BrandX
Or you'll need 20 dollars, 2 quaters, 4 dimes, 1 nickle, and 4 pennies.
Cos 4 quarters is a dollar and 10 dimes is also a dollar. That is one currency with different denominations. Not seperate currencies that we have in game
Note, I'm not really worried about the currencies, just your analogy fails.Quote:Originally Posted by DMystic
It's that we have way more than we realistically need.
Inf
Prestige
Reward Merits
Vanguard Merits
AE Tickets
Alignment Merits
Astral Merits
Empyrean Merits
While I really don't think we should do it, there is some merit in the concept. Think about it, prestige is linked to the actions of the members of the SG. If a prominent member were to leave for another group it's possible that the prestige of the old group could drop and they new group would get a rise due to this. However, if the member was a tool the opposite could also be true. Who wouldn't rejoice if Cyclops left the xmen really?Quote:Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
You seem to be under the impression that prestige belongs to characters. Unforunately it doesn't. Prestige belongs solely to the SG and players can't take it with them when they leave. You can't get a refund.
Oh and no you can't get it refunded as influence. That would be a horrible exploit to the game where people would use powerleveling to farm SG membership for the inf refund when the character quit.

EG I will use Propel since it seems to be a common one that comes up with this. Have Propel old school and Propel new school to pick from at the appropriate level. This way both sides are happy. Decreased cast time for maybe less damage compared to maybe upping the damage on the original maybe for the amount of cast time it has currently.
Not only does it quell this Cottage rule debate but it also introduces new powers to older sets and older builds. It spices up everything for older and newer players.
That change could be done within the confines of the cottage rule... -

1. A power will not lose a primary function without a critical balance reason for that change that can only be solved by eliminating that feature.
2. A power will not alter its gameplay mechanics without a significant balance requirement that can only be solved by altering its mechanics. For the most part, this refers to the power being a click, toggle, passive, or location targeted power.
3. A power will not change its availability within a powerset without a significant balance requirement that can only be solved by such a change in powerset structure. In other words, powers won't change tier.
I should point out I posted those rules above, with more or less the same wording, with permission from Castle, the same developer that made the "cottage rule" post itself.
As you'll see from the text I highlighted above they won't dismiss it because it breaks the rules. They'll consider whether there is a good compelling reason to do it. If you provide one then that would stregthen your suggestion.Quote:Originally Posted by Jeuraud
My suggestion to move Stalker's AS down automatically violate these "rules". This means that if the Devs have accepted these as rules then they can automatically dismiss my suggestion without giving it real thought, and to be frank it's human nature to do exactly that, if you have something to point at that will take the responsibility for doing the job away from you. This is especially true when the problem is not personally important to you, and you feel that you have more important things to do.
The devs can't take every suggestion posted here and give it serious thought. God, read through the suggestions forum and tell me if you seriously think they should? -

OP, I'm not so much against your request as I am bemused at the rational behind it. As Bill says Null has nothing to do with the Cottage Rule. -
Quote:Hehe, let me guess: Top 100 SG? Maybe former number one behind the 88's now? Bitter much?Originally Posted by Mr_Apocalypse
IMO they should have never let prestige be purchased in the first place. If anything the ratio needs to be made more steep to discourage marketeers from buying their SG to the top. Right now its 500:1 need to make it 50,000:1 which would be 100,000,000 for 2000 at the SG recruiter

Yeah, interesting that I live in London nothing has been said about it over here. Also, I'm just trying to remember the weather here on Friday, and I think it was cloudy and raining. I call shenanigans

Your friend was a blaster, so should have been able to take out the portals one at a time from good range. As he's doing this the spawn from that portal may rush him, so you should be able to pick them up. Don't rush in, wait for them to come to you. I did this with a blaster and a defender which very little hassle.

I think they also filmed in Hong Kong previously. I'm guessing the goal is to make fictional Gotham not look like any one city.

Very cool, however, all I saw was a guy walking around in a realistic LOOKING suit. Question is.. was it weaponised?

Quote:The issue raised previously (usually attributed to BaB) is that to do a proper 2 handed power set would require an entire new set of stances on top of the animations for the power sets. This includes stances for flights, ninja/beast run, etc. In otherwords bucketloads of work. Worth it...? Maybe, although i would say we'd have to have 3 or 4 new sets to make it worth it.Originally Posted by Narkor
I haven't seen a single scythe nor can I remember seeing a character do battle with a spear, perhaps I'm missing something?
I'd really like to know, especially if it's available to players, since I have some character concepts that revolves around those type of weapons (spears, scythes, etc.)
Also, the main thing that's keeping me from playing a Stone Armor character is the granite armor, which does not fit my concept, at all. So I'm all for more customization. -
Quote:No, Klaw answer was correct, just the details of the merger were wrong. EU and NA now are one list with one account list so you can play on any server as you have previously, you just have 4 more to play with.Originally Posted by Dr_Graviton

As your account details aren't stored on your computer and the steampunk items are on everyones computer regardless of whether they have paid for the pack or not I doubt removing a folder will cause it to not show up.
I would check your account page and see if the codes have been applied (you can't tell what they are for, but they have a date on them so see if there is a code from yesterday) and raise a ticket if not, or if the bits still aren't showing up. -
Bah, the US news presenter was an idiot to mock him. He demonstrated a working jet pack prototype. It was only going to get better, and now he looks like a fool. Good work Glenn!
