I can't think of a reason why the devs would want to "avoid" having level 50's generate extra prestige. It sounds like a perfect reward for maxing out your character, to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why would you want anything other than level 50's in your SG then?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because.......we like our members regardless of rank......because they play alts????? And we dont require them to be 50.

Will there be groups that exploit that? sure....... But the majority will not. Its just like herding.

Dont punish the MAJORITY that doesnt do it.

Well the WARFACE is pretty much Halloween every day, unfortunately. Makes hell picking up chicks.

[ QUOTE ]
Yes...

BUT not right away. As soon as we get newspaper tech in, we'll get the mission completion sharing in...

[/ QUOTE ]

Does this mean with the newspaper tech that level 50s will have access to new missions outside of Shadow Shard??

GENERAL STATS: File 026WAR 2568



Project Name: WARFACE
Type: Cyborg/Immortal
Technology: Unknown/Rikkiti combination
AT: INV/EM/ENERGY

Height: 8'0 Weight: 1750lbs
Eyes: Red Hair: None


Senses: The sensory array provides superhuman senses. The final production tests revealed the capability to hear over 50 miles sounds no louder than .6 decibels.

His vision utilizes a multitude of sensors to include thermal, movement; infrared and most importantly he can see all forms of energy.


Armor: The metallic armor is incredibly dense lending to an increased weight of 1750.

However, this unknown metals properties are virtually untestaable as it was found on a metorite which came through a dimensional tear.

The melting point is 20 times what depleted uranium/titanium hybrid that is the current standard for metallurgy testing.

It took over 1 year of fusion blasting to melt the material into a shapeable construct.


The skull armor helmet is composed of bone stolen from a deceased mutant who utilized an unknown metal as his skeletal system, which has a strength that is untestable with our technology today.

His muscular system is an elastic steel hybrid technology found from the Rikkiti Home world.

Internal Organs:
All organs have been fully shielded against corrosion, remote influencing, electromagnetic flux and any physical or elemental attacks. It is indefinitely self-sufficient, and is fitted with a self-repair system capable of full regeneration, albeit slowly. However the shielding does not seem to stop any Psionic attacks which could be a MAJOR weakness.


Powers:

Travel: The cyborg's agility and reaction times are superhuman, and under the right conditions can run and fly at incredible speeds. He has been clocked at near 80mph


Attack Programs:
His main weapon is his energy fists, They are housed in a magnetic confinement reactor , he has limited energy shifting abilities to vary the amount of energy controlled by mental commands from his cognition control center.

There are Five main attacks; Energy Barrage, Bone Smasher, Whirling Hands and highly powerful attacks called Energy Transfer and Total Focus. He has secondary attacks called Air Superiority and Laser Beam Eyes, which act as a knockdown and Def Debuff combination.

He has the ability to combine oxygen and carbon in the air through a special intake system to create an incredible energy boost to his cell system. This lasts for around 2 minutes on top of his stamina preservation combine.

Finally, utilizing a temporal displacement belt he can project a beam which can teleport friends or foes through space. It is unknown if he can teleport himself, though it may be possible.

History--From recovered record WAR 3456b:

(Warface) - The cyborg was created in the year 2060 by Doctor Sadyan Green as an assassination tool to run the country by the subversive group F.U.S.I.O.N. This corporation held no contact with any other known villain agencies within Paragon.

Doctor Green enlisted the aid of a special Bounty Hunter group (The "Tech-Pack")to track down an immortal warrior from a planet in the Andromeda System. There is little known about this pack of bounty hunters but there are possible links to Lord Recluse as many of the hunters bore an image of a spider on their chestplates.

The warrior's mortal family was quickly subdued and taken to an unknown location(including a wife and 2 children) During the fight, 20 of the 100 hunters were killed by the immortal, although he was finally captured using stun equipment.

Once the immortal was brought to F.U.S.I.O.N., the original robot design was scrapped for a cyborg process using the new armor technologies which were much more radical and powerful. The process for joining the cyborg and immortal was the easy part (although extremely painful for the subject as they had to stay awake for the procedure, which included having his skin and a significant portion of his internal organs ripped out). The hard part will be ripping out all memories of what we did to his family.

"The immortal subject captured has aggression levels that our agro stasis scanners are not able to map. The home world he was captured from has never had beings of this power leading us to believe he is not from the home planet that we captured him on. That stated; we will have to implant an ai personality module on top of the normal procedure for brain stem reducer/controllers.

This will be required if we are able to control his actions. With the new materials from the metorite and power generators we have available from Dimension Targos, we will be able to create a being of power never before seen in this quadrant of the galaxy.

The subject's fusion process was a success and his power levels are off the charts (much more than we hoped for). However, his ai module has been having significant issues and if we do not fix them soon, we may have to terminate the subject soon. He is showing signs of agitation and periods of unresponsiveness. Last week he displayed a behavior, which would suggest he was dreaming of his family. This could be highly dangerous if his personality took control over the ai module.

A captured high-level Ring Mistress easily penetrated Warfaces mind after placement in an arena combat test. She began with a hold that rendered him helpless and began to degrade his mind. However before she could finish him his automatic inspiration injection system (patented by F.U.S.I.O.N Industries) kicked in and during this short period he literally took her apart while she screamed for mercy(body part by body part).

At first it seemed almost routine to him, but at closer look there seemed to be a degree of cynicism to his demeanor

1. It is a high probability that from the state of destruction at F.U.S.I.O.N., that the subject WARFACE was responsible for the destruction of the facility and the deaths of all company officials.

2. Dr. Green was not found on site and his whereabouts are unknown.

Bottom Line: His allegiance is unknown and he seems to be hunting for the Doctor here in Pargon City as he tortures all villains groups he comes in contact with for information. He then kills them, rather than arrest like the other hero groups.

His danger level is extreme and it is recommended that only the most powerful of our organization confront him directly.

Any information on the location of Dr. Green or Warface movement will be reported immediately to the Executive Office at Crey.

Warface broke into Countess Crey's domain and defeated her with the help of a few heroes backing him up. Crey Industries Emergency Council will elect new leadership in the next week. A Death Hit is now authorized on the hero Warface. All Bounty Hunters and local Crey Military are authorized to pursue and destroy this criminal. A reward of $6,000,000 Paragon Credits will be provided as incentive.

CREY ASSESSMENT FILE CREY 6754.410

TOP SECRET

A captured Circle of Thorns mage informed us (after considerable torture) that Dr. Green has some association with Lord Recluse and possibly even Statesman. All efforts to destroy the cyborg have failed over the last few months and the council has come to a new decision to retract the DeathHit.

If Lord Recluse was willing to give up information on Dr. Greens whereabouts for a price, we could possibly use Dr. Greens skills to subvert Warface into a major instrument of power. Lord Recluse seems to have his own agenda so we will have to be "persuasive"

Another possibility is if we can find out where Warface's (the immortal portion of him anyway) family is being held then we may have an additional bargaining chip.

BTW great post. 5 stared ya

Thought Id post it to see what you think.

As I update it I think it will eventually tie in nicely with COV as the "Fall from Grace" mission in a future issue becomes available.

The idea (after you read the initial story) is that War will eventually find information that point to members of both Statesman and Lord Recluses organizations that were involved in Warfaces kidnapping, creation and taking of his family. Lord Recluse sees this as an opportunity to gain a new ally against Statesman.

Is there any way the leaders could please specify, before and during the hold phase, that tank holds are not needed?

I've seen multiple tanks in with controllers stating I've got holds too. Props to you, thanks but they're not needed, especially with the risk.
I generally try to keep an eye out for people attacking, or doing things that aren't "to be done" during the hold phase, and some people just don't realize that with 7-10 AM's on you, and you casting your "hold" aka.. punchvoke, it is possible to overcome a scrappers taunt.
Don't get me wrong, I love my fellow tanks, but come on guys, let the controllers/defenders do their thing and stand back.

YOU GET AN OORAH FROM this Marine

[ QUOTE ]
As promised, I've been looking into the issues facing Tankers; I thought I'd explain the direction we're going. As we analyed it, Tankers have three very valid concerns (aside from the issues with specific power sets):

1. Without Provoke, they are not a real Tanker. Those people who enjoy the MMP role of "meat shield" have trouble holding aggro properly.
2. The Tanker's defense stats can be matched by a properly slotted Scrapper - but the Tanker can not approach the Scrapper in damage.
3. The Tanker doesn't "feel" like a comic book Tanker should. And frankly, this one really, really bothered me. Because our game is a comic book MMP.

So - here's the solution we're going to try internally. We went through a ton of possible solutions, and we weighed each one against how well they answered the three points above as well as how long it would take to get done.

1. Tankers will get a "provoke" like AOE effect on their melee attacks. The more a Tanker lands his blows, the more and more mobs he'll attract. The bonus here is that it's not exactly like Provoke (it's not ranged) - but it makes a lot of sense. Some huge monstrosity is bashing the heads of a villain group - they're going to get more and more concerned about taking him/her out....

2. As a Tanker lands more and more blows, he'll start doing more and more damage. The longer the fight, the more powerful the Tanker becomes. I can't say that the Tanker will do as much damage as a Scrapper - but it'll certainly be more than he does now. This ability really gets to the core of a comic book Tanker. He's extremely powerful - but at the start of a fight, he holds himself back some. As the battle progresses, he lets loose....I prefer this system to a power because this way it's inherent. It's simply the nature of the Archetype. And it also sets the Tanker apart from the Scrapper's criticals.

Of course, the thought in your minds must be....WHEN?...I'm afraid I don't know. First, we need some code for this. Then we've got to test it thoroughly. Finally, it'll go on the Test Server for awhile to gather data and impressions. This is going to take some time; but I thought you'd like to know at least where we're going, even though we don't know when we'll get there.

Feel free to comment!
