    Finally...

    Playin' chicken with the trams never is a good idea

    Unless you are invulnerable or something-- then you have to pay for the tram.
  2. All these changes....are beginning to make me a bit freightened of the Battalion now
  3. I think the way powers are chosen has been broken from the beginning.

    I dunno, when I make an ice character-- I hate the idea of taking powers outside of ice based powers. Some people love to mix and match, I get it.....

    ...but there should be options to keep your character's powers in the same vein as their main power. Just a sort of branching out. Maybe even just graphical: like "Boxing" but with a big ice fist as an alternate animation.

    I think power pools need reworked and expanded, so I'm all for it.

    I think we also need more slots as well (I know, it broke the game when they tried.) Power creep or not....more powers to use in different situations is better than using 3 buttons mashed over and over.

    I expired

    Ohhhhh.

    Ok, that didn't make me chuckle. It's not that I didn't get it then, carry on

    I expired

    I don't get it.

    I mean, I know Sister Psyche is dead.....but wouldn't it be more hiliarious if Statesman was in the spot of BAB?

    O.o

    Or am I missing something?
  6. I liked the FF movies, actually.

    I liked Spiderman 3 as well. Dunno why all the hate with FF and Spiderman 3.

    The reboot Spiderman was ok.....felt WAY too soon, and Parker was a bit angsty for me.

    I thought the Hulks were ok, nothing fantastic. Though, the Avengers Hulk was AWESOME!!!! (Avengers did rock!)

    Elektra and DD were crap.

    LOVED X1, X2, and the reboot X-men. I thought X3 was pretty crappy....it could have gone a lot better. And having Collosus and Shadow Cat as main members of the team, then treating them more like cameos. Ugh.

    Although, i'm one of the few that like the more comic-booky-cheesy 90s Batman movies vs the Christian Need-A-Lozenge Bale movies. That reminds me, I should see the new Batman movie "soon."
  7. I know it has an aura, but it could still be "bugged"....like doppleganger tech, making a statue of the leader of the group in the missions....but still displaying his powers...and they need to code for it to stop displaying the powers yet.

    Just a thought.

    They're going to reboot FF already? I can hear the complaints already.

    If they're going to reboot, I'd prefere to see them go back to Marvel's control and then just become part of the whole Marvel Movie Universe.

    Also, with the deadlines approaching, I fear we'll get lousy movies that are made purely to get made to keep the rights.


    I dunno about why the last DD movie was SOOOOO lousy, but....well, it was

    Probably Ben A$$fleck.
  9. Da'Frick did I just read?

    <.<

    >.>


    Is this a leak? In which case, someone is in trouble. Or is this Nerd-ERP? O.o
  10. I liked my ele/ele stalker before the changes, but after them, YES, he's so much more fun!!

    Placate is worthless for me. So is Overload (I think that's the T9 armor)....I dunno if it's because I have barrier up all the time, and if I need to use Overload, it's already too late or won't help much-- or what.

    However, the T9 armor is sorta worthless in the current incarnated state of the game. If I need it, I'm gonna die anyway. I'm not sure if this is "fixable," or just an unfortunate consequence of incarnate powers that shouldn't be fixed.

    I'd almost argue Overload needs a strong regenerative component for me to even see it being able to save my life. Or, perhaps, the T9s should allow you to bump up over the caps on def/res. As it stands, Overload probably adds a few more points to my lesser protected stats and I get stomped anyway.

    Not that I'm saying I should be able to withstand anything thrown at me and be like a tank, I'm just saying: it makes NO noticable difference for me when I need to use it-- and in a few minutes, I'm going to be drained of all my END and most of my health and my shields will drop to boot. That is the definition of a power I won't use, and therefore, isn't worth taking. If you waste one of my power options on a power as such, it should actually do something for me.

    This is my first real "melee character".....so, i'm not up to speed on def/res armors. Maybe there's something I'm missing here.

    My devices secondary is a lot of ranged and/or stuff like caltrops that helps keep things off me. Cloaking device (prevents as much aggro), targetting drone, trip mines, auto turrets, (didn't take time bomb but still ranged!), smoke bombs (though useless), web grenade, and taser....all have at least a bit of range to it. Taser has the least amount of range, and I only use that when things are closing in on me....so it's technically a way to keep them off of me.

    I recently started playing /psi secondary on a psi/psi blaster and I was amazed at the amount of melee range stuff. I've sorta been spoiled by my devices.....I knew there were alot of melee range in other secondaries....but, ugh, I was hoping the trend would move towards ranged secondaries (or things like caltrops or "aim" or "buildup" type buffs.)

    I don't see the benefit of secondaries that make you run in and do things. I understand these melee sets were often asked for....but, I'd like to ask for a secondary that keeps me at range
  12. Looks like a nice set, don't get me wrong....but is anyone disappointed that a "ranged" AT is given secondaries that are "melee range" for activation?

    I could see re-doing my Archery/Devs blaster with this powerset (not that I ever would!!!!) and it's fit into his "natural theme," but.....I want secondaries that are actually ranged.

    Ranged is a MAJOR benefit to avoiding death for blasters. At least the way I play mine



    Meh, wake me up when secondaries are actually ranged (or, like the mez protection, can be used at a distance and be benefical still.)

    My bad!
  14. I think one of the new incarnate slots should grant an elemental affinity.....perhaps, my ele/ele stalker would take "Electricity Affinity" and all energy type damage would either take off very little damage, or actually heal my character.

    Obviously, slotted correctly, this would be pretty powerful.

    Doing DA? Slot negative energy affinity. *whistles*

    Just thinking outside of the box.
  15. That fly never stood a chance with our double-mega-combo-fly-swatting-action.


    HUUUUZZZAAAHHHH!!!!!


    O.o

    Oh man, you need another whack

    Those sets aren't suppose to be mentioned....until they are formally mentioned (possibly) during the next chat.

    Though, now I see a few that I didn't know were coming (as I missed most of them before all the dev retacting )
  17. This sounds like a Tier-9-unlocked problem =D


    Sorry, I couldn't help myself
  18. So, that REALLY was the real Ultimus I saw in DA a few weeks back.....I was wondering.

    Awesome run on the Magi trial in under 8 minutes, by the way! :P



    ...and yes, Pocket D is always joked about that way (has been for years)....i just always thought it a myth, some people who screw around just to be smart-alecks once in a while, or actually people who do THAT in tells. It's amazing they'd do it in /say. O.o

    HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I fell off my chair laughing. I was wondering who was gonna say it first.


    Nethergoat, will you marry me? ^_^
  20. I did forget to mention: yes, the prestige we earned in our previous SG...it would have to be mirrored in our new SG.

    Perhaps just give the current SG leader the lump sum of the prestige in the current base....and then have it transfer to the new base.

    Or, refund all the prestige each character has earned in their SG (by the values on the SG roster) and let it be a new "influence-like" number that actually goes with the character when they leave the legacy SG bases.....and then they can re-invest in the new SG base if they want when joining and clicking a "share prestige" button or something. (and then all prestige earned under the new SG will go directly to the new SG like the current bases do.)

    If we lost all our prestige in the move of SG bases......i'd be a might P.O.'ed. :P

    - run into to the middle of a +4/x8 mob
    - hit fulcrum shift
    - hit fireball, fire sword circle.
    - watch almost everyone die
    - pick off stragglers
    - repeat.

    now we can add the nuke to that mix?


    ... is there any word on increasing the difficulty slider?


    My blaster can handle max difficulty slider (+4/x8 is it? I never remember.) Archery/Dev with incarnate powers and purple IOed.

    Granted, it's a mix of Rain of Arrows and Fire Judgement. Plus explosive arrow and the cone arrow power (forget it's name atm.)

    Though, also some strategy for tricky things. I do die sometimes when things just go wrong (i'm looking at NPC pets that aggro or something weird happens.) However, sometimes when things go wrong, I can still pull out of it.

    Eye of Magus and 2 Medium purples for when things really hit the fan, or I have an EB to take down. I made some demorecords while I ran the DA arc a few weeks ago....when I heard about the sniper changes and the +regen/+recovery.....and i'm against the regen/recovery.

    I should post them for the fun of it....once i figure out how to do such O.o
  22. Agree Techbot Alpha. All sets should rock.

    I'm also hoping that old rules like "psionics hardly resisted" and "smashing/lethal" most resisted are reviewed too.

    It's really not fair to certain powers at all.

    Muchlike how I always hated tankers....because you have gaping holes in your armor and especially in the old days, if you went up against something that you didn't have resistance too, you might as well let the scrapper with the correct resistances/defenses tank.

    I remember how no one ever wanted a fire tanker on the.....erm.....I forget the task force with the Crystalline giant. I think Huntsman gives the TF in Eden. This was back when people would herd the map into a creater to clear the area and then let a few blasters blow up their T9 nuke.
  23. I don't remember having that many problems with my blaster pre-IOs even.

    I was never THAT weak.

    Now, yes, I have max settings on-- and my hero pet NPCs in my missions never survive until the end. Soooooo....that is incarnate + IOs, i'm sure.
  24. Ah, that makes sense: thanks Chase_Arcanum

    Maybe they can just give us "canned" items.....like, for a recreational room: one object that has a pool table, sofa, TV, loveseats.....or such items that people would like in a recreation room.

    Sure, not everyone would want "canned" items....but if they are made nice enough, I'd see me using them I'm not a big stickler on having to spend billions of hours to make my base look "different." Cool is one thing, different is meh


    At any rate, I hope they can figure ways around things. We always hear stuff is impossible to do....and, like Water Blast, we now have it!
