But how will we appeal to the younger generation if our message is not "hip" and "fresh"? And what about "attitude"? We need lots of that.

Obviously Aracnos stole it from Freedom Corp.

And then Blue Shield stole it back.

According to RedTomax Defender's Acid Arrow has a res debuff of 20%. 15% is 3/4 of 20%, not less than half.

Gorillas with spacesuits and laser guns riding cyborg tyrannosaurs.

And Warwolves that shoot bees out of their mouths.

Actually, everyone has been told what the Undrn3t is. Several time in fact. It's not all that hard. Look, maybe you just suck at explaining.

Mechanically they may only differ in angle but they are treated as separate by the game, or at least mez protection powers have separate effects for -knockback and -knockup.

Deflection Shield has unenhanceable toxic resist.

Are you sure the [Ignores Enhancements & Buffs] flag is per power and not per effect? Every time I see it listed in a power description it is always after each unenhanceble effect, and there are a lot of powers with both enhanceable and unenhanceable effects.

Hmm. 58.73% acc, 32.63% end red, 75.51 % rec red, 75.51 % hold at lvl 30 for 5 slots. That's a nice IO set.

Stun sets are also pretty lackluster and samey. Some mez sets with a bit of damage would be nice too, and maybe another ranged damage set with a little range enhancement for those 40ft blasts like Power Burst.

I have to agree, moar IOs plz.

Weapon power sets do not disable power customization, they simply do not have any options besides the default. The sparks, flashes, shockwaves, etc, are entirely customizable, just as they are for other sets. They simply prioritized the non-weapon sets because the weapon sets already had a degree of customizability.

The weapon customization and power customization systems do not interact at all, which is why an invisible weapon would not work for coloring Energy Melee. (Well, maybe the system could look to a costume piece color value to apply to powers, but that would require power customization in the first place, and if your going to do all that work you might as well build the interface and system we have.) Weapons are considered costume pieces, which have no effect on animation or effects. Look at the Build Up and Aim powers in weapons sets. They have a glow around the weapon, but this is based on the legacy weapon and may look off for some custom weapons. Unless there is some other code wonkyness, it was entirely possible to add weapon customization to Spines, but doing so would leave the projectile spines as the default, which would look terrible.

What BaBs said about power customization and Spines was that for powers with multiple effects only one can have custom colors (or possibly all effects could use the same colors). Archery and Trick Arrows can be expected to have wither colorable arrows with stock effects or stock arrows with colorable effects.

Each damage tick by a rain power is a separate attack, making it entirely possible to damage or defeat more than 16 targets per use, but they still have a target cap.

Isn't that backwards? Clockwork are weak to knockback.

Fixed.

Moar facepalm!



An AT that combines ranged or assault sets with defense is an interesting idea, but just slapping pistols on scrappers and then charging for it? Very no.

The problem with that is new code, not new animations. You are talking about adding a weapon to non-weapon powers, which will also require drawing that weapon. Adding that option may or may not be easily doable.

The cape mission sends you to talk to Paco Sanchez, who is right next to the Galaxy City Yellow Line, standing on the side of Cygnus Medical Center.

God knows how to delegate; he's very "hands off".

Yeah, MA is the "boot to the head!" set. The grab bag of effects works pretty well in practice. It's got knockback for what can't be stunned and stuns for what can't be knocked back. Also, Crane Kick is your very own crowning moment of awesome every time the knockback procs.

This guy's name is Ashley.

Silly for a melee set, yes. It's perfectly in line with the other ancillary sets for melee ATs.

Control powers in Control sets often have debuff efects in addition to the damage and control effects, control powers in Melee and Ranged Attack sets usually do not. Screech is an outlier in Sonic attack as Shockwave and Siren's Song do not debuff resistance in addition to their control effects. Melee and Ranged Attack sets with offensive debuffs (Sonic Attack, Rad Blast) and Claws usually have one or more attack powers with a high chance for or guaranteed control effect, for example Shockwave (Sonic), Cosmic Burst, and Shockwave (Claws). Katana and Broadsword get 2 attacks with knock effects in addition to their defense debuffs and a self defense buff power. That's pretty much how these things are done.

Hm. I thought Clobber had a longer cast time. In any case, MA doesn't really need another ST attack, and Cobra Strike works really well for perma-stunning a boss, so it would be a shame to loose that.

MA can keep a boss perma-stunned with Cobra Strike and Eagle's Claw, which SS can't do. That's about the only thing MA has over SS, but it is useful.

That's an interesting idea, but it might be a bit overpowered with Cobra Strike's animation time.

Um, ToT spawns don't use the GM code, unless there is something I'm missing here. If they used the GM code there wouldn't be lvl 16 Crones wtfpwning lvl 13 teams. Banner spawns do use the GM code.
