Who is it, Tesseract's arc?

Ms. Liberty: "You think you're the only one who knows about Ouroboros?"

... kind of ruins that.

Not really. Fire Control's imps are killable (easily.) Illusion control? Three untouchable pets at 18?
Not having to resummon to get them to stop running off because they HAVE to hit that boss three rooms over, primarily. Right now you can resummon or (if you have it) use Recall Friend - at which point they start running off again.

Yeah. That makes zero sense. Let's see, Fitness in human form:
- Buff to flight speed from Swift.
- Stamina, even unslotted, offsetting all END use.
- Increased regeneration and some sleep resist from Health.

... so far, not seeing where human form is coming out short.

Oh, wait, slots!

... wait, human form has less stuff to slot to begin with.

Yeah. Not seeing this as a problem for human form at all. (Especially with alignment merits. Two of them = Miracle unique to stick into Health if you want more of a boost, two more for the Perf. shifter unique... yeah, really, really going to be hurting there.)

And Putzman is a bat.

Sums it up for me.

VEATs can have six costumes. Only five show in the UI.

<--- 217 characters. The hero merits are pretty much how I'm planning on getting those.

Should be do able quickly - are you running your tip missions and staying on alignment? 2 Hero merits.

(And I really have to get working on my Dark/SS tank. Mid-20s.)

<technicality>Not actually the devs job. </technicality>

Hmm. I've got some movies I haven't watched... could rewatch some Firefly. There's always Netflix on demand, or Hulu...

My job can't. I work from home (with COH on my personal system.)

Picts or it didn't happen!

"They may take our login server, but they'll never take our Freeedoooom... wait, they can have Freedom. Just don't touch Pinnacle or Victory."

Whew, I get to disagree with EG.

That, actually, is precisely what's behind the naming difference (and control difference.) The henchmen are (supposed to be) intelligent, independent beings who can handle more complex orders. (Go there, attack them, get my coffee.) Pets are not. Even masterminds get pets they are not allowed to control - Dark Servant specifically comes to mind here, but Force Field Generator (for instance) is also a "pet" we can't control - despite it showing in the "pets" window.

If any pet type should have the same amount of control (thematically) as a Mastermind does over their minion, it would be the Patron pool pets. You are, again, summoning an independant, thinking being (Coralax, Mu mystic, Widow or Arachnobot) and - unlike controller pets - they're short duration, long recharge, so a tradeoff that allows you to give them orders would not really step on MM toes.

Controller pets, if they get any orders at all, SHOULD be simpler - "Stop, Go, Come here." I'd say we already have proof this wouldn't be a big issue *now* because (some) controllers already do this with Recall Friend, to a point. (And if any set would fall under "gamebreaking with full command," it would be Illusion. Blame that.)

Edit: Dammit, EG, don't agree with that last part while I'm still writing it! /moves doomsday clock slightly closer to "midnight"

Tip: Don't go to the van that says "Free candy."
Tip: Don't poke the bear with too short of a stick.
Tip: There are some questions man is not meant to answer. Like "Does this make me look fat."

My defender stole his crits. I get them from the Dark APP. >.>

Trip mine - the name itself tells what would trigger it (a trip"wire") which in the power's case appears to be a laser trigger.

Dropping it would not set it off. You could likely drop a pressure mine, depending on the setting, height, etc. and not set it off.

As stated before, not buying this pack, as I don't think it's a good value for what it delivers. But with the quotes above, Nether - they had all the feedback in the announcement of the pack with quite a number saying "If it were cheaper, I would buy it." "I'm going to buy it" and "I absolutely won't no matter what the cost" seemed to be the minority responses there.

Market research? They had it in that thread. A boatload of it. And it wasn't acted on - either by increasing what's in the pack, or lowering the price of it. So you'll excuse me if I can't buy that as an excuse.
