Guess I could post in there. BTW Elect, you still doing your sketch a day? If so, then, you know, Colonel Victory up there could use a pic for my new avatar (hint,hint)

I thought that was for a contest to get into the newsletter.

HI!!
First post in this forum.
Just thought that since 4th of July was coming, which is an important day for some of us Americans, that some folks may want to put up some pics of there patriotic themed toons.
Here is mine, Colonel Victory.
I need to change his name though. Ideas accepted, no prize though.
Here is his background.

Initially, he was going to be a ss/sd brute, but I was feeling patriotic, so I made him a hero. Instead of the usual military turned superhero ideas, I went a different route.
And his actual Bio

After an accident on the football field, Jason Conner was rendered a paraplegic.
His father having died on a mission in the Balkans, and a mother that turned to drugs and prostitution, Jasons life was not going in a positive direction.
During a Longbow raid to stamp out an Arachnos cell in Skyway, a Longbow Ballista was knocked through a wall of a home near the warehouse district.
When Ms. Liberty went to find the Ballista, she discovered the young boy, now in his early twenties, had taken up a shotgun to defend the unconcious Ballista from the Huntsman that had come to finish him off. In appreciation of his bravery, she offered to have her Longbow scientists fix his condition for him. After servo motors were put into his body, his neurolic system stimulated with electricity, and a modified Superdine formula given, he was not only able to walk again, but became super strong. Deciding to use his newfound gifts for good, he took up a shield, and put on the colors of his country and now goes by the name Colonel Victory.

And now Pictures!!

Well, there ya go, feel free to add any pics of your own, or if you think someones costume is nice, let em know.

No, just wondering when there gonna fix old problems, and looking forward to the new stuff.

I really am looking forward to Going Rogue.

As far as I16, once I know more about it, I may be a little more excited. Is long as it isn't more fixes for AE.

I like this thread, it's funny.

Sorry, I am not enthused by Issue 15, or if you prefer I14.5, with it finally being dumped on us, I was trying to think of some things I would like to see the developers work on. If anyone has any other ideas, please add them here.

SG/VG Raids
Cathedral of Pain (how long has this been down now?)
The Damnable Chat Bug
Powerset Proliferation

Castle (I think) said it was a bug.

Well, the advice that the OP was given is sound, and I havent updated my new PC and gotten mids on here yet. Plus I.m on vacation, so I was to drunk at the time to post anything more involving than one sentence.

This SF is not easy as is. It's not even that it's hard. Once you IO out a Brute, nothing is very challenging anymore, so I welcome an actual challenge. The problem is it isn't difficult, it's just tedious and very long. Button mashing my attack chain over and over for almost 45 minutes isn't fun IMO.

Just disappointed. The TF/SF is really the only thing issue 15 has besides AE tweaks and fixes. So for someone like myslef who doesn't care for AE and does alot of TF/SF, it a bit aggrevating to find out I hate the new SF.

This. For some reason my team could not drop Reichsman. We had all of the temp powers, but could not get him below half health. He would phase, and there was nothing we could do about it.
We had two brutes, a corr, a mm, 2 dom, and 2 stalkers.
I went afk with Reichsmann on me so I could look on the boards to see if he was bugged or something. Of course I came back to full health.

Oh, and JDouble, there is one thing other than the SF that I like.
They fixed the alakazamreact emote.
Thats the other thing that this issue had for me.

I personally don't care whats brought. I would like one of each AT, just to round it out. I never subscribed to the philosophy that "You have to have 3 of X at's and 2 of Y at's, but don't bring any of Z at's"
Come one come all I say.

As soon as the Servers come up, I am going to try to get a Reichsman Strike Force going. Be Warned!! I never touched test, and will be reading all of the story stuff. I am a fairly competent player though. Will be there with Scarlet Recluse, my SS/SR Brute.

1. Scarlet Recluse Brute
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

Will be checking every15 minutes for server status, Global in game is @Captain Prime.

Ok, If were doin the SF, all I have at that level is a SS/SR Br00t.
If we do hero side, I have two scrappers to choose from.

Is it wrong that after reading all of the patch notes, these are the only two things that have any bearing on any of my toons?

The /alakazamreact emote will now function properly when a character is in the air.
Fixed animation bug with the At Ease emote.

Ohh, and the new TF/Sf
Anyone on Triumph wanna start one when the srevers come up?

Just fyi, theres a guide in the brute section.

The way I understand it (because it's the way it works) is that caltrops has somewhere around mag 50 "afraid" effect (which makes most mobs scatter). Most AVs have a mag 50 protection to most status effects, including "afraid".

They won't run from a single aplication of caltrops, but the moment you stack it they will run away. This of course isn't an issue if you can keep them immobilized with MG

[/ QUOTE ]

Silverado is correct, once you stack caltrops, there gonna take off running. I grabbed it on my claws/sr just because I needed to pick a new power. I toss it out occasionally, but it isn't really a huge benefit. It does help on the STF though. Throw them out on the towers and the repair men don't stand a chance. I also use them on the ITF, toss em under the Cysts. There not going anywhere.

I know not all of you know my hubsand Blue N Gold but for those who do he is on his way back from Afgan this week. Looks like I will be driving to Fort Hood on the 24th and will seen in the first time since his short R&R in Nov.

I just wanted to share my good news because I am more than happy about my husbands return.!

Gratz Fanci, and thank you. I know it was rough on my wife when I was deployed. Thank you for supporting your Soldier.

Wondering if anyone needs some infamy redside? I am starting a brute on freedom and he's poor. I have close to 2 billion on my brute on triumph, anyone able to make a trade with me? If so, send me a message @Captain Prime in game, or just here on the forums.

Lol, when I started my WS the beginning of the week, I could not get a team to save my life. Then it occured to me why, so I put this in broadcast.

"Lvl 6 ws lft, had my 50 before AE came out"

I got an invite in about 5 seconds.

I'd be interested. Except im on triumph, and my WS is only 28.

Did black dwarf drain get the same buff as Siphon life did from Dark melee? Just tryin to hammer things out in my mind.

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm gonna stick it out with dwarf a few more levels. Two more questions now. How would you reccomend slotting dwarf and its attacks, SO's or base IO's, and does anyone take the damage aura in human form? I'm a big fan of damage. Absolutely huge fan.

Got my new WS up to 21 today. I am loving the versatility. I was ecstatic when I hit 20. I morphed to dwarf (hehehe dwarf morph)
and found only 2 actual attacks. I played around in dwarf mode for awhile, but wasnt very impressed. The dwarf mire only seems to last for 7-10 seconds. I'm wondering, do you tp in, dwarf mire, shift to human and mire, then go nova? Is it feasible to do it as only a dual build? Could you tp in as a human, mire then shift to nova?

I'm just wondering if I should stick it out with dwarf. The lack of attacks is eh, I can't even explain. Any advice is appreciated.

use elec fence first.

the cherry coke of hold powers.

[/ QUOTE ]

It still does no damage.
And what if you don't have that particular patron. Or if your like me and have no patron?

[/ QUOTE ]
Then you slot it with the chance for Psi damage proc and learn to use and deal with radial knockback, you don't pick it up, or you play Stone Melee instead and deal with an inferior AoE damage power.

[/ QUOTE ]

I was simply saying that relying on a patron power to make the power in a set made no sense to me. I don't have an issue with handclaps knockback, so nothing to deal with. Well I dont have an issue with it because I dont take it.
And I don't like SM, it's ugly.
