That's a shame. I think that'd be an excellent setting for a sandbox-style game. Besides, Greek stuff is cool.

There is one in development, just not by Cryptic.
It's called Gods and Heroes.

[/ QUOTE ]

GnH is actually based on Roman Mythos. Similar, but different. Personally i'm looking forward to it. SUpposedly every class will be able to have minions, and give them orders, so we'll all be masterminds.

Any chance someone could make a guide to dominators patron powers?

On a different note,

When are DA Scrappers FINALLy going to be fixed?

[/ QUOTE ]

Seem fairly fixed now. In fact, there's a lot of talk that they might be the strongest Scrapper primary now that Invul and Regen got 'da nerf'. End seems to have been pretty cut down on most powers, and that was always their biggest problem. Sure COF is all kinds of worth less, but everything else is good.

And yes we had no travel powers, we had the... Mynxmobile. Please don't ask, I was trying not to fall over laughing the whole time

[/ QUOTE ]

BWHAHAHAHA! omg I'm dying here!! mynxmobile <snickers> How about the Statesman scooter? The Positronplane? or would that be the Posiplane? Thanks Luna for the laugh.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's Positron-Glider.

[/ QUOTE ]

No offense pos, but you seem a bit too heavy for a glider, what with that armor of yours.

Although it would be nice if my own culture, beyond ninjas and anime, was well represented, creating a zone based on Momotaro seems impractical, at best. If they had made a zone with shaggy monsters, and called them Japanese shaggy monsters, heck, that would have been cool with me.

[/ QUOTE ]

An entire zone might be impractical, yes--but what about a section of a zone? Say a cultural/historical/entertainment sort of district? A zone with several museums (so they can move all the priceless displays out of those warehouses and office buildings), a zoo, an aquarium, and...a Japanese-themed botanical garden, centered on a shrine.

Each sector could have very distinct activities:

1) Art heists from the museums.
2) DE mutating and releasing animals from the zoo (because we really need more zones with DE ).
3) Sharks with frikkin' laser beams produced in the aquarium.
4) All sorts of trouble centered on the shrine--maybe Crey wants to bulldoze it to put in a water park, and the spirits start wreaking havoc on them. Or a kitsune decides Freaks are funny, which is actually a more frightening thought.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's actually not to dissmilar from a zone idea I had some time ago. Basically the idea is to get a large mix of zones in one small area, so my idea was some kind of Temporal crash. Kinda like in fault line, some villain tries to master time, but fails, and ends up causing different places from different times to smash together into a single time and place. Then you could have all sorts of places in one.

My ideas were similar: Japanese castles, rainforests, the old west, a medival castle, that sort of thing. But really you could have anything, even a part like the shadow shard fromt he end of time.

Actually, I've been thinking about some sort of self replicating villain. Depending on how it's implemented, and how customisible they are, the powerset that gives you minions to control (Mastermind?) might be able to do the trick...

Make a ninja with ninja minions...

That'll be a whole lotta ninja!

[/ QUOTE ]

Better yet tape two ninjas together to make one giant ninja!

Okay, they say it's coming in august. Does that mean they're aiming for an august release date for I5 on the main server, or that it won't be on the test server until then. Because if it's going to be released in augest, it'll have to be on test pretty soon.

Todays paragon times seems to suggest mystical matters are very much on the minds of the devs...

[ QUOTE ]
Wait, a blend between a controller and a defender? Wouldn't that be...a controller?

Anyways, I think the negative energy control idea is neat, but I'm also hoping for a tad more than just that. Possibly some crazy secondary or something, who knows.

Remember, folks, sarcastically or not, Statesman is in no way a jerk. Although he can be annoyingly evil at times with all the vagueness and teasing and letting us drown ourselves in our own anxiousness and speculation. That's true evil that only a master could pull off!

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually... no. Controller powersets are typically Primary: Holds/pets, sec: buff/debuff. Defenders have prim: buff/ debuff and sec: attacks. Controllers lack the ranged attacks.

I'm thinking BotBS will have a primary consisting of holds and attacks, and maybe a pet. the secondary will probably be a buff/debuff.

I don't think they'll have any sort of crazy secondary. Like the kheldians, they'll probably just have the same powers as other AT's, but combined and with somewhat different animations and combat effects. I suspect their attacks will probably be from all blaster sets except AR, so they'll be able to shoot lightning bolts and fireballs and ice cones. Maybe some dark defender added in. That's how I think they'll be unique, or epic.

That and they'll have a magic missle spell. It's a one hit kill against D3's. Realizes no one got that joke either:: Anyone see summoner geeks or 8bit DnD?

And so i'm corrected. States is a tease.

I tried to edit my post but it seems I can't for some reason. So I have to make a new post that undoubtedly no one will read since it's five pages away.

Stateman is a jerk.

When I said this, I meant in a sarcastic, because he constantly teases us with vague talk of what's to come. I don't actually think he's a jerk. i'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression. and will endeavour to be clearer from now on.

And on the subject of my /regen scrapper, I'm happy with him. He turned 50 just before the nerf bat started swinging, so i never played him very much in I4. and even after words the few times I played him, most noticeably in a hami raid and exemped down to the level 34 Terra volta trial), he still seemed all right,

What we can speculate?

I think Blood of the black stream has a mystcial sound to it, so I suspect they're descendants of Mu, an ancient magic city who were evil.

Since all epic at's we now know of seem to be a mix of two, I suspect they'll be controller/ defender hybrids. Since that's the way magic users typically are: frail to the touch, but can command some serious powers to attack, defend, and stall the enemy.

I don't recall any stories about Zeus being a super patriot for the united states, either, Chort, so they probably won't have to be exact copies of the gods they represent.

That's assuming of course, that Lord Recluse comes from Greek Mythology. It's unlikely that the incarnates will be the embodiements of only greek gods. They'll probably be any gods, so Lord Recluse could come from any mythology.

Here's an idea I like. You have to option of setting base raids to schedule or anytime. The catch is that the number of base raiders at an anytime raid can only be less than or equal to the number of base defenders online at the time. So if there's only 1 member of the SG online, only 1 attacker is allowed in the base, and a tell is sent to the defender, wherever he is that his base is being raided and to come at once, ( with a click box that will automatically teleport him to the base wherever he is.)

Doesn't matter if the raider is level 50 and the defender is level 10, that's the chance you take when you set it to anytime.

Any new AT's will have to generally look like humans, because I doubt they're going to redesign all the costumes to fit a fish person. That fish guy, and probably the creature from the striga mission will likely be a rival species to the coralax.

The Surviving Eight are: Statesman, Positron, Synapse, Sister Psyche, Citadel, Manticore, Numina and Back Alley Brawler. They all agreed to remain in Paragon City after the Rikti War, to coordinate the efforts of the new heroes arriving every day.
Ms. Liberty is in fact Statesman's Sidekick but she leads a group of heroes herself. They are called the Vindicators: Minx, Valkyrie, Swan, Infernal, Luminary and most recently Aurora Borealis.

But what about Ghost Falcon? And darn it can't remember her name. She's in Brickstown near the hospital, and sells the magic ehancements.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ghost Falcon's just a guy who hangs around. The same with the girl (Forget her name but know who you're talking about.)

Soooo...

if all the problems are good and fixed now, any estimate on when I4 will go live?

I remember seeing Oranebaga for the first time, after they added in the new tile sets. I was running aroiund thinkign to mysellf, this place is so cool. It's so huge and detailed!"

Now when I enter, I think " Oh ****, this sucks. it's so huge and detailed it almost impossible to find anything in here."

And they will have the choice as soon as they realize they're ocnfused.

I want to be a gadgeteer! We need that in the game right now, devs.

The ability to add an account to the SG, not simply a character, so all your toons will belong to that same super group, unless they quit.

Global chat is cross server chat. I'm looking forward to it because you talk as an account rather then a character, so it doesn't matter what character you log on as. Most of my friends aren't on my server, so it'll be good for me.

In response to statesmans original post...

Okay, I realize that by saying this, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is going to hate me... but if the problem starts when people start getting single origin enhancements...

Get rid of Single origin enhancements. Or rather make SO's as effective as Dual origins, and elimnate dual origins. Tihs would make the enhancements system a bit boring, i suppose, so maybe at higher levels they could get enhancements that last longer or something.

You all hate me now, I guess.

Perhaps it would be a better idea to simply install war walls around Boston so no one can ever go there. That solves the big dig problem quick and efficient.
