  1. I would go +0/8 at that level.

    Are you capping damage with red inspirations before going in? Capping defense? And using defense inspirations liberally in the mission?

    Still, you can have a female character with a personality that isn't a guy with boobs.

    I like the way we see Steve Rogers wearing old man clothes, this points to them thinking about the little things.
    Agree completely. If Cap doesn't have an issue with Tony on first meeting him, then they are writing one of the characters wrong.

    And Cap probably does want Stark to learn how to protect himself without the suit. It's standard procedure for Cap to recognize at some point the super powered people, for whatever reason, will need to defeat an enemy without their powers (the suit in this case).

    I hope that the Black Widow has some substance, and isn't just complete cheesecake.
  4. I enjoyed this one more than the first. Need to try the villain side to get the full impact, but the Enter Game button really needs to go.
  5. I won't add a PM to the mess, but I will say it here.

    Thanks, Z, for the response. It was exactly what I was looking for.

By having the proc slotted into both powers, that extra +100% recharge when it procs can be very useful in getting a burst of damage to help out in that situation.

    This may be a special case of #3, where situations may arise when I'm basically *forced* to spam it.
    Hmm - that is a good point.

    Something to consider.

Then we went to the new forum software and everyone was un-banned...
    Good Gods, /signed

    I miss Lighthouse tons. We've never had a mod/community support as good as him.
  8. Getting some odd graphics in warehouse missions - blue walls at the starts, and disappearing stairs. First character's model was messed up when first logged in, but it fixed on a relog. Hoping this goes away quickly.
  9. Having done my first UG last night, the story is pretty annoying. Desdemona is the new Statesman for some reason, and is the key character now.

  11. I stopped reading comics something like 12-14 years ago.

    I tried a couple of years back, and the first one I picked up had Hawkeye having sex with an amnesiac Scarlett Witch. Well, put that back and gave up on it.

    Sad to see that things are just getting worse. Well, at least I can find quality comics among animation still.
  12. Good decision.

    Put them up much cheaper, and we can talk. And the female costumes.
  13. At times I wonder if the NPC's have a union.

    "We've agreed to your players having the right to slaughter us at times of their choosing, but we keep our Pope hat!"
  14. costume slots and xp boosters are the sale ones now. Not enough of a discount for me, but someone else might go ape over them.

    So yes, probably.
    Your are probably correct.

    Ugh. Would rather have the old CoT in game for the mobs, if the player version is what we got from this mess.

    I think Sam has this pegged quite well.

    The character I played in First Ward isn't a Praetorian.

    The only Katie she met was First Ward Katie. And with no out of character meta-knowledge, someone that she won't miss in the least. And that's a shame.

    I for one anticipate a new currency, or the next slots shifting back to using shards - but at a much higher cost than Alpha.
    I suspect we will have a new class of salvage. And shards will then be converted to threads. So, we still have the two tiers, but you get rid of the oldest type.

    There is a lot of it.

    Have to admit, after Katie being such a pancake, I'm not going to shed any tears.
  19. Also seeing this issue.

    Edit - but I think on new characters created since I21, not the old ones. They seem to keep their correct colors.

    Also an issue with keybinding.

    You would find this extremely frustrating as well.
    With another 8 hours tomorrow, I get those feelings.

    Time for Paragon to figure something out, especially for the Euro players.

    Signature arcs?

    Did it with a lvl 35 brute.

    Hope the next ones are higher levels, for certain.

    Ditch the enter game thing for sure. Very annoying.

    It was certainly fun, but no premium player would pay for it.
  23. Glad to see the signature arc is starting.

    I'll pile on the XP booster. Needs to do a lot more, or be much cheaper.

    /nod

    Yeah, if this is the best price that Paragon can come up with....sheesh.
  25. Hmm, clearly need to finish any new characters tonight.
