It looks like the show is going to be poking fun and campy with some serious thrown in.

I really think those that nitpick shows & films seriously won't enjoy it as much as those who play MST3K around them.

I watched them this morning when I got home from work, and I enjoyed them. It's the kind of light-hearted entertainment I enjoy after a long weekend of working all night.

Lots of references to the source material, and a knowing wink to the comic fans out there. It may not last long, but it will be fun while it does.

At least, as long as you realize the show doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should the viewers.

In my SG we're known for grabbing random lowbies and taking them through our missions just so they can get a few levels and some easy Influence and drops.

If I'm on my WS or character with Taunt or Confront, and I see a lowbie getting pounded on, I'll taunt the mobs to me and stand there and take the hits so they can kill them off and get the xp without having to faceplant.

Also done the healing/ tanking thing for low level teams through the sewers, invited people to my team just so they could use my base teleporters, dropped random amounts of Influence on lowbies, and even did taxi duty in the hollows.

And I do this because it was done for me when I was coming up. That's one of the great things about this community.

Welcome to CoX!

Willpower is a fun secondary and it should see you through just fine.

Just take everything but the last two powers in it and you will do great.

I could get behind this if it were able to be cut off. As you find the sounds grating, pulsing lights would drive me batty.

I would like options for both playstyles though.

I'm going to check it out. I love the lore and backstory of Warhammer 40k.

Congrats on your first GM!

And welcome to CoX, Inyl!

I agree with SuperOz.

I have friends who are cops, but I also know that they're normal people working for a paycheck who, like me, get tired of their jobs, get worn out by the monotony of the day-in, day-out DUIs and shoplifters.

I like to think that the average criminal would be a bit skeptical of commiting a crime in a neighborhood he knows is the area of Knight Templar (example real world superhero) and even though the chances are very slim he'll catch them breaking into a store, they still might think twice about doing it.

Kind of like the scene in "The Dark Knight" where the dealer turns down the client.

Then again, these RWS's might find themselves in a heap of trouble if they come across an organized crime hit or something worse. They, and their families and friends could become targets of the criminals.

Not to mention, vigilante justice is illegal in the US as well.

I really don't notice the buffs on my screen.

I was just telling @Anasthesia about this thread, and she replied that, when I'm in full on scrapper-lock, I don't notice the buffs, chat, ventrillo or even her talking to me from across the room.

It's not that I don't appreciate the buffs, or have respect for people who play ATs I cannot, because I do, really love them for doing it, it's just my nature to play characters who think (the MObs) "THEY are trying to stop me and my friends and they want to hurt or kill us to do it. Therefore, THEY must be the ones stopped and I'm here to do it."

Honestly, my least favorite part of Speed-Boost is the speed. If it would increase everything but my movement rate, I'd be a much bigger proponent of the power. As it stands now, I've had at least three low-level characters die in Atlas Park because a well-meaning Kin SB'd me and I ran into a group of higher level MObs that turn me into Faceplant Surprise, which (being a cook) is my least favorite recipe.

As much as I love my /SR characters (I have 3, all capped) I have to say that Willpower would be an excellent choice for you.

My Kat/WP is a veritable mini-tank just slotted with SOs.

I recommend Titan Sentinel and Mids.

You can extract your current character's build off Titan Sentinel, it makes a datachunk for Mids. You plug that into Mids and it shows your current build which you can mess around with all you want without wasting respecs.

Also, you can post your builds in the various AT forums, and have other players give you suggestions to tweak your build.
