I only read about half the replies, so I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this...

I always thought that a perk for level 50s should be the ability to run scanner/paper missions in any zone (possibly excluding the zones without scanner/paper access).

I think one of the big problems, for me, is that Peregrine Island has just never really done it for me. Always has seemed an odd style for the level 50 city zone.

Well, a Lestat joke has already been posted... I have nothing else...


Although, I will say, I do find Tom Cruise to be entertaining. Sometimes he works exceptionally well... sometimes it is just a bit too much of the same... I do think he is an extremely talented guy and quite a unique personality. I don't care if he's insane... that's nothing to hold against a performer!

While I felt like the previous Ven Helsing was terrible... I'm not looking forward to this one...
Anthony Hopkins was a great Van Helsing!

Do you know how you can tell if Space Pirates have been around?

Everything is closer together.

Were there any pics shared on the broadcast today? I tuned in about ten minutes in and missed this part... Although, I gather that the costume is for the second super pack...

I like this idea!

I'd imagine the contacts should just offer missions based on the character's level. I don't think they'd put in something that offers higher level missions.

The idea of offering origin specific radio (style) missions is a good one for giving the FBSA contacts a role with our characters again.

Me like!

Thanks everyone!
Kristen, we might want to include bandages and casts costume parts!

"...every time you laugh at something that was not meant to be funny."

If it is anything like the first movie... Good luck!

Subjectively speaking (and none of this really bothers me very much, if at all... just throwing them out there for the sake of conversation)...

I agree with those who feel like the new starter missions are worse.
This is a matter of opinion, of course, and it really doesn't matter if Nethergoat agrees with it or not.

I know I'm not the only one (no idea about majority or minority, of course) that feels like the new tutorial is worse than the older two.

I really don't like how the new starter tutorial content and new starter story arcs introduce new players with game mechanics and styles that just don't represent the rest of the game (thankfully... And I certainly hope it is no one's desire to change the rest of the game to match the new starter content).
The main aspects being: the unreality - game-mechanics-wise of fighting in the tutorial, the go and defeat THIS specific NPC where there are several of them all re-spawning at ludicrous speeds... that just does not match the cool way that the rest of the game's world behaves (and, again, the way the rest of it behaves is part of the appeal this game has always had, as opposed to other options out there), while the transitions using the new tech for cleaning up the neighborhood and/or rescuing a contact's loved-one adds a cool feel to things, the tech also creates some whacky oddities that, again, can really throw off new players and their introduction to what this game is like.
The new introductory content just seems a bit buggy and less smooth than what we used to have (that was arguably less dynamic).

Anyway, this entire post was not anything I felt the need to vent or complain about, so I have typed enough about some minor negatives that I honestly don't have any agenda or motive to have altered to be more towards my liking...

I've never seen the second one.
I still haven't successfully removed the memory of the first one well enough...



Oh, no, Beholder guards!! Throw a rock and make them look that way...

Me? I'd determine it by emotional attachment and my thoughts on the future likelihood of logging them in and enjoying them in the near and/or distant future. I may not have logged a character in for three months... and I may not log them in again for four months... but I very well might log them in again in 5 months and go on a tear of playing them very frequently and getting a lot of enjoyment out of them.

I generally don't delete characters... Instead, I'll ship them off to another server (even if I never play them again, haha)...
Then again, I honestly don't go ahead and make too many characters that I am not already confident in keeping forever and ever.

A while ago, I curtailed my creation of alts on my main server by saving costume ideas and concepts within my head and only pulling the trigger on them when I'm convinced that they are worthy of being on my permanent roster, hehe. For wild hairs, new/random ideas, I'll make one on another server... if the concept/character takes off to the point that I have to make them "for real", I'll either transfer them over or make them anew (usually make them anew, because I'd only take under 10 levels [of soloing, street sweeping and/or radio/paper missions] to come to a decision).

So... Yeah, I'd just have to think about who I log in currently and if I have a lot more fun in mind for them in the future. I play 50s very regularly, so that's not an issue.

The other important aspect, I imagine, would be to make sure I have a roster of diverse characters, both in game-mechanics and in personalities.


You asked!!

Also, about the Lightning Clap vs. Lightning Field...

While I am someone who has never chosen Lightning Clap for my main's build (and cried a little when they announced this, haha)...

I'd imagine that there'd be equal amounts of people complaining about Lightning Field being chosen. Not everyone chooses that and not everyone would prefer to maintain a constant damage aura for their new sustain benefits.

I'm not crazy about having to click Lightning Clap/Force Of Thunder (never mind drop a power I have already, in order to pick it up), but I can't say that Lightning Field would be a better choice.

Hopefully, in playing with it, I'll find Force Of Thunder to be cool and fun.

I would like to suggest a power that detonates directly behind your character and causes a Knock Back (need help on what the number should be) of a high enough magnitude to send your character (flailing through the air) a good 200-300 or more feet.

Different visuals could be applied:
A giant bomb could be placed and detonated
A cannon could appear that our characters climb into
No... not looking for a flatulent alternative, sorry.

If it were a new travel pool power... it could include a higher tier Team version...

An additional Knock Up may be necessary.

Also, I just wanted to say that I'm very encouraged by Arbiter Hawk's comments about he and Synapse intending to make sure that Electric Blast (and some others) are up to snuff under the new Blaster paradigm, as he said.

He's acknowledged that the lack of a true 3rd ST blast, VS's behavior and numbers and the Endurance Drain secondary effect all have made the set under perform.
So... all those things acknowledged and a commitment to making sure they're in a good place after the changes should mean good things for us Electric Blast lovers.
