Alright, it seems like you have hit the mark. Brute.

Which Brute is the Most Bad-***?

For this Scenario Bad-*** = Being able to take a crowd in close range (4-6 yellows), trounce them with relative speed, and not come out licking my wounds when I am done (Cones and AOEs early on appreciated).

Right now? I am a War-Mace Electric Armor Brute. Not really feelin' it.

It's all in the title.

I normally tank. Man I -hated- my Kinetics Tanker, lumbering, slow; didn't die often, but took forever to clear a mission.

A surprising number of my cadre and I are soloing the GR content, we don't want to "poop in each other's cheerios".

I don't feel epic. I know, I'm not "50". I made a Warmace/Electric Armor Brute. And for a time he did pretty well, but now, close to 13, the GR content is starting to wipe the floor with him.

I don't personally believe there is a dichotomy between solo and team play. If I am a Bad-*** solo, but still considerate, and tactical with my team, there is not reason I can't Rock out even more when I have backup.

So... What Archetypes and builds do -you- feel are the most Bad-***? What powers and abilities and tactics REALLY cement this for you? In those trees are there things that could be skipped and others that are MUSTS?

I would love feedback; I want to feel "Heroic".

Additionally, what builds are best for taking on many enemies at once (Wide Cones or AOEs?), doing lots of damage, but still -mitigating- the damage as well.

Indeed, thank you for keeping me updated on your end.

Exactly 1 half hour later, it came back up.

Yeah I have done the usual networking stuff on my end. Run: CMD, ipconfig /release , ipconfig /renew...

Nothing to do with my end. It tells me to check the servers, but they are all still "UP"; but you can't check the status of the Login server.

Well, that's crappy. Lets see if we can't get some others saying they have this issue.

My wife and I were playing, both crashed while exiting seperate missions, tried to log back in but get an error at the login screen. Servers were loaded, but not FULL. Nothing has changed in our firewall or internet.

So, are they down? Anyone else having this problem? Seems those IN the game are fine, but those logging in are hosed.

David, what I would REALLY like to see is the pattern, the light up parts, of the Bioluminescent as a something that can be used in the secondary paint channel of most -other- skins parts. Thus increasing the utility of the effect, making it go with hairy, or scaly, or zombie, ect... Ergo -more- mutant possibilities.

Also, I hope with Going Rogue we will have a checkbox where we can make MOST secondary effects, like Circutry, or Perplex glow. If the competition can do it, and well (*Champions) I hope you can to, as I would throw my had in with CoH -every- day of the week

David,

With your pictures here is my -new- feedback.

Wow, that Organic Armor looks great. Can we get a Shield variant?

Also I feel, the Bioluminecent rips in the flesh would go MUCH farther as a Mutation if it were an overlay that was accepted with MORE skin types; placed in the secondary paint channel like Perplex or Islanders. So that we could be Bioluminecent and not necessarily a Frog thing too. Adding it to Stone, Lizard, BioOrganic, ect... would have much more utility for executing the same idea; giving it more breadth.

The Bioluminate, Male, Chest has an ugly seam regardless of peck size.

Also, the animation for Secondary Mutation loops, and loops, and loops...

-----------------

All over, some neat ideas; But I agree with Equation: While I am not a furry lover, it does seem to have missed the mark some. The animal heads in the game now are just lacking, and yet they give us a growl emote that seems out of place without new "Mutant" heads? Just doesn't feel like they did their homework.

I get the Bioluminecent set, is there to say "hey, things are going to glow like they will in Going Rogue (Because it was cool in Champions and we -really- need to catch up to the competition with DCUO coming out soon). This is not Snark, I -love- glowing bits... I just wonder if this pack could have added some Mutant Auras from the get go; like we have access to the Combat Hud... but, you know, mutant (Shimmers, Dazzels, Psionic Halos, ect...). If this is a preview, I look forward how they will step up and drive the point home and give us LOTS more glowing options on parts in CoGR.

All in all the BEST stuff in this set are the Costume Change emotes (I mean just... WOW!) but... I am not sure if they are $10 good, considering they are just 1/3 of the stuff we got.

I am not ungrateful, it just doesn't feel... Mutant. Maybe call it the "Weird Pack", the Demon and "Frog Pack", or "Misc. Pack 1." :|

And come ON! How can you give us green BOILS and -not- give us access to /puke?!

I LOVE the "Terminator" Costume change, but... again... HOW is it mutant?

------------------------

I would love a version of the Organic Armor HEAD that does not have the "stuff" crawling on it. Since the eyes are glowing and the texture is so detailed.

Also, when are we going to wake up and see in the patch notes:

• All old faces have been upscaled and painted over to support a greater pixel density and mesh with our goals for Going Rouge. (?)

That would be great.

Been thinking about getting a card for the wife so she can go nuts with Ultra Mode: Hoping this would do it for Low-Mid: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814143186 BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GT 512MB;

If you can recommend a mid to High Card for 100-200 that isn't HUGE (I need a card that only takes up 1 slot); that would be appreciated.

Caveats: I tend to shop NewEgg for their Customer service (Been burned on PriceWatch too often), and shop NVidia.

They sure were. They must have added them, because when AE first came out I unlocked all the stuff I cared about. The only -other- stuff was "So-and-So and their Praeatorean Minions". Winter Horde was at the top of the list.

Well, I have looked and looked. If you find them, or can talk to your friend; please let me know.

I have a large character arch in mind. I see loads of cool pre-canned villains to choose from; many better and more brutish than anything I could make on my own.

I would like for you to please add the 'Winter Horde' to the list of enemies we can use; as well as the Winter Maps. I have a battle that I want to culminate at the end of the story in a frozen land.

Thank you for your consideration,

-Frost Heart Lord (Virtue).
