    But I got quite a bit of difference with one simple concept.

    That said, do what you want. There's no one who can stop you. If you wanna make the identical character for every slot that's between you and god.
    Can't believe I forgot my trolls!

    Early on (Issue 2 or 3) we made a pseudo superteam of all troll based characters. Mine was The Troll Princess (Earth/Rad con) and she was my first lvl 50 controller. I liked her so much later I rolled her neice Grendella Atta (Earth/Trick Arrow con) and even later I rolled the Troll Queen (Earth/Earth dom).
  2. I was having a certain crash issue on and off for quite a long time, which was frustrating as my set up should be handling CoH/V quite easily. I asked around, researched, sacrificied small farm animals, you name it and I still had the crash. Finally a google search lead me to a discussion about Photoshop and a common crash with it and Nvidia cards and a particular setting. The error number was the same, so I thought I'd give it a try and presto-chango have been crash free ever since. Well until there was a driver update that reset that setting and scared me to death, but a quick change back to the setting and everything is fine. My ISP is pretty speedy so I don't have issues there.
  3. Just to be picky, speed boost doesn't give you +End it gives you +recovery.
  4. Go for it. And lots of different ways to go about it.

    I have Mental Maden (FF/Psi def) and Mental Maden2 (Mind/Sonic troller). Essentially the same character with similar but not exact powers.

    My villain main Codename-Pox (Dark/Rad cor) has two sisters Codename-Singe (Dark/Fire brute) and Codename-Blight (Plant/Fire dom). That have similar but not exact looks, but a common theme.

    Then I have my "Flash" Illusion controllers. Flash Powder Jane (Ill/Therm), Flash Frozen Jen (Ill/Cold) and Flash Forward Jill (Ill/Time). All have a stage magician look but their costume and power colors match their themes.

    mind/time?

    If defense bonuses are that much more important to you than things like mass confusion or chronoshift I'll just work with what I see. And with that hasten is really overslotted as well as health. Take one from hasten and two from health. The numinas set bonuses aren't that important on a troller. Stick the Numina proc in there and you are fine. Personally I'd use a miracle proc there instead, but Numina's isn't bad. There are your three slots.

    And FYI on my Ill/Time I can softcap defenses without any defense bonuses from sets. That allows you to focus more on recharge and recovery, which is nice in a clicky build like mind.

    There are a lot of problems in the build, but since defense (from bonus') is such a priority for you I'll let one of the defense minded people help out.

    (and just so there is no misunderstanding, the tone of this post isn't intended to be snarky)
  6. I didn't enjoy it as much as past Christmas Specials. BUT I did like the ending of the story itself and I really liked the ending with Amy and Rory. I'm really going to miss them, but can't wait to see how their story ends.

    As a matter of fact, yes I do. And I'm not talking perfect spelling or perfect grammar either. Just make an attempt....a simple attempt to come off halfway intelligent.

    "hai u luking 4 teem? im bord lulz"- no. just no.
  8. Yeah, unless you like chasing the baddies around, don't slot for KB on a melee toon. As a tank (especially powersets that increase performance with the amount of enemies in your area) you want to keep your enemies in tight not scattered everywhere.
  9. I have two standard replies,

    1. no reply

    2. "Sorry about to log"

    Typically if someone is relatively polite and not using speech like Freakshow, I'll give them a quick "about to log" or "not on very long". If they are overly aggressive or use LEET speak I just don't reply.

  11. Yeah, not really an issue to be honest.

  14. As long as we are talking about Historical facts here, I'd like to point out to the OP that there were in fact free Blacks (both immigrants from the Carribean and freed slaves) in the south and even in South Carolina in 1775. No there weren't a lot but the concept that any person of color in 1775 was automatically a slave is inaccurate and factually wrong. Africans and African Americans fought on both sides of the Revolutionary War from all parts of the Colonies.
  15. Was going to post about a(n) historical inaccuracy, but the subject seems to have been snipped from the thread. Which is probably a good thing.

    That is so full of wrong. We were using papyrus flip books for animation back then.

  18. He'll come back at some point via typical handwave and be "upgraded" with an all new look and powers.
  19. Saving Private Ryan was a great movie, but it's not the kind of war movie to "sit back and watch to relax". The first ten minutes should have tipped you off. It's a serious grown up person movie with (yes) drama...nothing wrong with that. Complaining that Saving Private Ryan wasn't relaxing enough is like complaining there weren't enough jokes in Schindler's List. (i.e. It's not that kind of movie.)

    And make sure there is plenty of bad writing and lots of teenage angst and drama....and oh yeah bad writing.
