    If your group isn't hyperactive you can pull it way, way, way back. I've pulled it to the big room once and then it's just a question of piling on with single target damage. Got it today on a pug with my Fire/Dark. It is the harder of the two badges though.
  4. Coliseum is a PvP arena map.

    This would be the wide arena from the summer event where you fought minotaurs and such...should be interesting to try.
  5. Coliseum arena map? Sweeeeeet...though it's probably going to be the inverse of monkey fight club, wide open with very few places to evade heh.

    Thanks!
  6. Don't have my character in front of me but I went:

    Illusion:

    Blind
    Spectral Wounds
    Confuse
    Spectral Terror
    Phantom Army
    Phantasm

    Storm Summoning:

    Gale
    O2 Boost
    Steamy Mist
    Freezing Rain
    Hurricane
    Tornado
    Lightning Storm

    Power Pools:

    Leadership: Maneuvers - Tactics - Veng
    Speed: Hasten - Supespeed
    Leaping: Combat Jumping - Super Leap
    Medicine: Stimulant - Aid Self
    Psionic Mastery - Mind Over Body - Indomintable Will

    Incarnates:

    Reactive Interface
    Cardiac Alpha
    Ion Judgment
    Vanguard Partial Core
    Ageless Partial Radial (Have all Destiny T4 but Ageless comes up more for the recovery and recharge).

    Probably supagimp but works wonders solo, TFs, trials, anything pve.
    Hilarious moment the other night on a pug Miss Liberty TF where I sat confusing Ghost Widow and watched her spin Black Scorpion and Captain Mako with Soul Storm. XD

    Come say hi to Tony Wilson on Pinnacle, visit the Hacienda homage base, have a drink. Leave the guns at the door.

    Slax is still around, I saw him doing some speed Citadels the other day.
    Bug haven't seen in a while.

    Nope, because if say I see Sentry getting spiked, I heal him then we Incan in a corner, then his Respites hit for 500+ or something ridiculous for the next two minutes, and that's if we haven't STACKED Incan, in which case it could cast Respites for up to 700-800 per pill. So if you have 3-4 spikers delivering damage, all one of your teammtes needs to do is monitor buff bars, warn about Incan in team chat or Vent/Mumble and lo and behold, we're all super healed, cast RAs and off we go.

    Interface will add like 7-11 points of damage per tick, Judgment is w/e. None of these powers is needed for decent 5 v 5 play, but especially not Incan as it will make incoming heals just ridiculous. As Xanatos said, 5 incans/3 spikers = 0 to very few kills.

    Should definitely be voted on but having been in RV on all Incan teams and even in Arena on all Incan teams, kills are insanely rough to get.
    The problem with Interface is the graphical animation is often out of sync with the incoming damage, so you might see Reactive icons before they tick in.

    It's just a massive kerfuffle, let's just go Alpha only before the league implodes prior to start.
  9. DOn't think it matters much.

    Lazy to open Mids but say your run of the mill Tanker/Brute is sitting to about 80% S/L (spitballing), and at that point you aren't going to really get any benefit. Now if they did something like Elusivity where you would get off-primary res from your toggles that might be interesting. It's still better to build to softcap your defense, then let your resistance soak up the rest I'd wager.

    "So if your female character is in THIS stance, your draw times are a whole 2.7 seconds longer, not accounting for chest size which actually increases it an extra ten picoseconds. Now, we're not even contemplating base male characters with the Science pack and Rularuu weapons with their second costume slot as a female option."

    Though I walk through the valley of death I fear no Devouring Earth, for I have read Arcana and have long since given up any hope of boosting my SAN score to base.

    Those will be decent to sell in I24, but I do hear you...nightmares of Trap of the Hunter triples dancing in my head and Evil_Ryu claiming the drop tables were rigged against him.

  13. The good IO sets will always (?) give +HP, +DEF, +Damage etc. etc. Stuff people WANT. Debt reduction might be relevant if we actually HAD debt, like way back when you could have 10 bars of the stuff. With Patrol XP and so on...meh.
  14. Sweet. Spirit of Kings Row, my Kat/Regen go-to-gal, will be thrilled to defend her birthplace!

    Are the new IO sets purple, purchaseable with Reward Merits/Alignment Merits/Random Rolls, how many slots are they (3/5/6) and so on?

    Love the new Brickstown event too, villain love again it feels good!

    Can't wait for Beta!
  15. I had a conversation with Troy Hickmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan (aka Pantsless One) awhile back. I won't copy the PM here but the gist of what he said is that there is a "tribute" element that might fly, but you have to be able to differentiate from the original source. For example, I was working on a Calvin & Hobbes arc and couldn't use C&H, Roslyn's name and so on. Troy let know in no uncertain terms that some artists are extremely protective of their brand and that Watterson was one of them, so...that arc stayed in storage from then on.

    I have an homage to Walter Sobchak (from The Big Lebowski) on Infinity red. Same beard, glasses, weight, vest and shirt even got the shepherd pet (I can't board it, it's a shepherd, it has papers!) and Dual Pistols of course. Have a bunch of macros that spout sayings from the movie. It's not been genericed because the name (Mark It Zero) isn't Walter Sobchak, it's not offensive and while the homage will get picked up by alter movie-goers, nowhere near as obvious as a big "S" across your chest.

    TLDR:

    Be especially careful of copying/imitating source material that's well protected, tweak until you "know" it's an homage that won't get picked up by GMs.

    Just adding my congratulations to Arc2 D2's title ascension.
    Hope to read more in a powers thread near you!
  18. Oh dear...if they let us have statues of our characters for bases, the fun will be ENDLESS, especially if we can move said statues around the base via the editor.

    BWAHAHAHAHA.
  19. I'm just picturing this:

    Cold Domination superteam, 4 Sonic/Cold Corruptors, 2 Fire/Cold Corruptors, 2 Mind/Cold Controllers.

    (Statesman Task Force, Lord Recluse cutscene triggers)

    "Bow before my power! I have cloned each of you and powered them through the WEB. None shall pass!"

    Everyone gets hit with Heat Lossx8, Benumb to taste and then Confused.
    On the other hand, that might be the kind of goofy, innocent hijinx this game has needed for some time!
  20. My main has all Destiny, Hybird, Judgment T4d, a few Alpha T4d and a smattering of Lore T4. Those don't include both sides though, just one side to T4. The pets especially seem like a huge task that I have no wish to undertake for the foreseeable future.

    Its clear the payoff for reading an Arcanaville post needs to be reexamined. Many players have resorted to farming Arcanaville posts hoping to find a Very Rare information drop. Others have been dupin those rares and handing them out to other players, eliminating the need to read the content. I'm looking at a number of options here. A diminishing returns system where I begin the day sober and get increasingly inebriated and incoherent as the day progresses would frontload most of the information rewards into the first few posts, while the hardcore readers could still read everything and have a chance at me leaking the next Controller primary or Arbiter Hawk's phone number.
    Fear and Loathing in Paragon Studios? I'd love a front seat for that movie...

    SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY...a roster will be unveiled.












    Or will it?

    Used to be Cuppa Incarnate in honour of CuppaJo but that got retired a while back.

    Fun thing about Arcana's posts is even when she's having fun her posts generally have high amounts of content. Kinda like Mot in a way, I suppose.

    Dang.

    Yep this is it. I have a MM I sell level 33 recipes with, it usually takes 3-4 days for one item to clear, sometimes as long as a week. Certainly not fast turnaround but worth it in the long run.
  25. Don't see myself spending inf on this stuff. I don't even spend Paragon Points on the team insps so...
