  1. One bit in the trailer worries me a bit. The press conference where Dennis Leary announces that he's issuing an arrest warrant for "The masked vigilante known as Spider-Man" gave me an awful case of deja vu.

    I demand a lazier way of keeping track!

    An in-game visible timer would be nice, but even better would be if the reward tables reset once a week (say at the same time the Weekly Strike Target changes.)

    SR may not be great for getting high regeneration, but Dark Melee has Siphon Life. Slot that up as a heal instead of an attack and you've got a pretty nice heal already.

    I guess I'm saying ... it's not in the game. Something vaguely similar is.
    An IO self heal that procs on every use is highly unlikely to make it into the game.

    Know what else? The 'pedantic' people are joking. The Alanis pic and Bender vids should have given that away.

    I assume they just eat danishes. Probably cheese danishes.
  9. It working on conscripts and not other Rikti (I wasn't aware of this myself) could be a deliberate indication that the conscripts (a word meaning their presence in the military is not voluntary) are not from Rikti Earth but are fully mutated Primal Humans. See Levantara's arc 'The Strange Case of Benjamin A. Decker' for a specific example of a primal human who was Rikti-fied against his will.

    Ultimate Solo

    Just to get this out of the way: any AT can solo yada yada yada.

    That said, the easiest AT's to solo with are those that have a balance of damage dealing and damage resisting/avoiding. That puts brutes, scrappers, masterminds, and soldiers of Arachnos at the top. The changes to stalkers coming with issue 22 are enough of a buff to put them in that class as well. Dominators can also solo very well by using control powers as an active defense. Those are the AT's that I would consider stronger soloer's at all levels of the game. At higher levels all AT's truely can solo well though some specific powersets (notably those that focus on buffing and/or healing [expect on Masterminds, who can buff and heal pets]) will have less tools to work with for soloing.

    Psychology is a huge part of economics as it is. That's why we get so much talk of "consumer confidence" as an important factor in economic growth and why we tend to get market "bubbles."

    As far as in-game market prices, there will probably be downward pressure on the AH for the specific items available for real money. But since the supply of influence is not reduced by the market other items will probably go up in cost. Unless more ways of removing influence from the economy are added the items on the AH as a whole aren't going down in price.

    I want your inf. So buy them off the AH.

    In general I agree with this, but for the MoM trial Dark Miasma's rez (howling twilight) is incredibly usefull since there's no hospital to go to and using Desdemona's rez very often can seriously reduce the time available to complete the trial.

    I believe they've said that he'll be removed in issue 23, so he'll be around a while. After that all references to him being active are supposed to be changed to past tense. I assume that you'll still be able to see him in Ouro for those arcs where he actually appears.

    And you wouldn't want that? Grimace is the one man unashamed to show what a steady diet of fast food will do to your figure.

    Considering that Recluse got her killed, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while.
    In her second arc Ghost Widow describes Red Widow as "someone who was once very dear to Lord Recluse."

    The proof is undeniable. Hand over the purple. I suppose it doesn't have to be a GOOD purple though.

    Celebrity is actually a debuff to stealth, making it difficult to avoid the notice of mobs when you go out for groceries or drop the kids off at school.

    You could really freak people out with some 'leaked' concept art. Try putting Captain Mako in a Longbow Uniform. Or Lord Recluse wearing Statesman's faceplate fighting Sister Pyche with an Arachnos tatoo on her cheek.

    That's really the only headscratcher for me. It just feels really incongruous with the rest of the costume.
    If my tummy looked good I'd show it off.
