just because you can do something doesn't mean you should....sure Positron could provide limitless power for the planet but then what?
How many people would be out of work because we no longer need to 'make' energy?
How many businesses would fail because of this miracle power source?
Who decides who gets this power source? Do enemy countries and states get this power?
Who regulates its use?
Out of work? Lower cost of operation = new tech jobs
Business fail? More would thrive then fail becasue again lowered operational costs
Who gets? Anyone who can either A. copy the tech or B. we don't have trade embargoes with.
Regulation? each government can't do its own regulations...that's what they exist for -
LISAR asked me to fix this, but I wonder if I tell her I can't how long she'll be off forums.

Guns can be mounted. Breathing, trigger pull or squeeze, grip? None of it matters. You have to account for wind direction and speed and a myriad of other factors. I'm aware of all that goes into the proper shot, but in the end, the training for the actual shot is insignificant.
The best sniper today is a computer and a few servos.
Mounted guns don't really have a power set do they? -
Quote:You mean anyone could pull that shot off target when they continue to breath through the trigger squeeze or change grip when they anticipate the shot because they haven't been trained.Originally Posted by Dechs Kaison
You think the sniper could pull that shot off with an AK-47? Or a .44 revolver?
Yes, most of the sniper's ability to actually land the shot is in the gun, the scope, and the spotter. All of his martial training went into getting into position and not being seen.
Don't get me wrong, not anyone can be a "sniper." But anyone with that gun, scope, and spotter telling him what to do can make that shot. -
I'm a little sad that fire melee didn't get alternate animations...I want to make a fire scrapper who doesn't use swords.

Quote:Which of the two moves it the one where he punches the ground and enemies around him get hit with arcs of yellow lighting?Originally Posted by Dr_Mechano
The LRSF version only begins to use the 'Zeus's lightning' move after he gets below 30% health and even then he doesn't spam it, he uses it probably once every thirty seconds.

So he can rapid fire HoJ on villains when he feels like it.
That just feels wrong. -
So I'm running some portal missions and I get tot he one where it's me and States against the clockwork in Pretoria. I decide to pull some mobs into a tiny cell like room to get the most out of his AoE (I think Hammer of Justice it's the one where he smashes the ground and yellow bolts arc to the nearby enemies). Well after opening with hurl he does the move putting serious hurt on the robots...and then he does it a second time in a row.
Doe she doe this when villains fight him as well? It seems horribly unfair if he can pull this power out in rapid succession whenever he feels it'll get laughs. -

I haven't seen any code for this yet so this idea is full of assumptions.
From what I've seen weapons draw is handled on a "set basis" if you drew a weapon from a set no redraw is needed for another attack from the set. My idea would be to retool the system so weapon draw mode is set per attack. In this way if the mode that set the weapon draw is compatible with the new attack no draw would happen.
ex:
Broadsword 0
Axe 1
Pistol 2
Dual Pistols 3
Mace 4
Energy Mace 5
Single Pistol attacks (such as temp powers) can animate with no redraw from modes 2 and 3 while Dual pistol attacks are set to redraw if not mode 3.
Walk through
My Brute uses Mace Blast with no weapon drawn and he is set to drawn 5. His next attack is Whirling Mace. Whirling mace is set to skip draw if either in mode 5 or 4 so it goes straight into activation.
The same Brute reverses order, Whirling Mace sets mode to dawn 4. When he uses Mace Blast he will redraw and be set to mode drawn 5 and any ranged or melee mace attacks that follow will not cause a 3rd redraw.
What this would also do is stop redraw if a temp power is cycled in that uses the same weapon type.
IF this was workable the main draw back I see is temp powers preventing the use of a chosen customized weapon if they use the same type. If you open up on some BP with holy shotgun shells with an AR hero you would be stuck on your old AR model unless you already had your customized rifle out before you attacked.
I think I got it all out of my head please start deconstructing. -
All it needs now is some tanks or worms shooting each other.

Huh....I like it...

It would have been really gross and bad and I'm sorry to anyone who figures out what she was planning on using as proof. -

Quote:You are right. Blasters need some sort of control or self buffs to help them defend themselves.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
The problem, as it were, is building an AT around damage as a sole means of defence, when that damage can't defend them in specific situations that WILL occur with regularity. It's kind of like Controllers and the POTD. Even when a
Scrapper runs afoul of a damage type he can't fight resist or defend against, he typically has other means to defend himself, either smaller amounts of another defensive type, heals, enemy debuffs or SOMETHING. When a Blaster finds something he can't kill, which is also something he typically can't control, he has no alternative but to cross his fingers. -

The only logical alternative I see to a binary exp system is a variable one.
Think you are going too fast lower exp gain to about 80%.
Then you could add a toggle option for exp gain modifiers as well ^_^. -

Same as Flight. No powers work while 'moving' with Flight. They all force you into a 'standing in the air' starting point.
They could always say "screw clipping and quality" and undo the work they've done to make some powers work with weapons and simply have the weapons out if you've the power recently. -

That's what I meant. Flying and Hover call the same animations.

And flying mode animations so 1260

How does shield and PPs work I've never tried it.

I love the joke ideas people post. Almost woke my son up laughing as I read this one. You guys have great senses of humor.

Going by base stalker values (least health for melee) if we give them say 5% damage immunity (damage less then 5% of max health) then starting at level two up (if any stalker secondaries had this level 1 power would be hide) we see them immune to attacks as follows:
5.67
6.27
6.91
7.59
8.34
9.16
10.04
10.97
11.97
13.03
14.14
15.32
16.57
17.87
19.24
20.66
22.14
23.68
25.28
26.77
28.30
29.85
31.42
33.01
34.61
36.22
37.83
39.43
41.01
42.58
44.11
45.62
47.09
48.50
49.87
51.17
52.41
53.57
54.65
55.65
56.56
57.37
58.09
58.70
59.21
59.60
59.89
60.06
60.24
So at level 50 without a base HP boost attacks doing less then 60.24 have no effect. Neat little exercise...
