Swipe still animates too long to be useful. Looks neat, though.
Slash is awesomely great now, all of a sudden. It just rocks.

So neat that Claws finally has worthy early powers, and not just Strike.

You mean every european interested in the game isn't already playing it on the US servers, without any connection issues?

I don't agree with some of these.

Brawl is good for the early levels as an additional attack and to finish off enemies that are in a very weak state, not needing to 'waste' a bigger power on them.

Powers can well be slotted in any fashion desired - each slot gives the same amount of benefit, so go with the ratio that you feel comfortable with.

A total makeover of one's costume at lv20 costs around 40k. That's as much as ONE SO. I'd gladly exchange one SO for a cool, new, additional outfit.

One, wouldn't this make tankers more like the boss-killers?

I think this would actually leave Scrappers as the 'standard' Lt/Boss-killers, and make Tankers able to be the AV-killers. Scrappers' damage would still be ahead of Tankers', so I doubt there's any concern of them losing THAT function.

Two, is this going to exacerbate the herding mentality?

This is what I am worried about as well, as it was the first thing that came to my head upon reading this idea.

Overall, though, I am quite smitten with the solution. Encouraging Tankers to actually attack in groups instead of just standing there shouting out ugly words at the enemies, while simultaneously fulfilling their 'damage magnet'-role. And enabling them to solo better while making them useful in long-lasting group fights. Is a great idea, soon as the details are worked out.

Alternatively you can just look for a person with a very detailed Bio, that usually denotes a roleplayer.

My experiences with that have been that it doesn't. People have detailed bios, then talk 'k', 'thx', 'get a mission, 3 blocks from level'.

Just now noticed this thread, and thought...wouldn't it be easier if roleplayers put [roleplayer] in the start of their bio? That way we could at least randomly meet up and know what to expect.
