Nightsrage

This is what build I use on my crab. I also have T4'd incarnates on Musculature Alpha, Ion Judgement, Barrier Destiny, Reactive Interface, and Arachnos Lore. He's fun to play, can handle anything I throw at him and can even stealth missions if I'm in a hurry.

Before patch, I could get 20% or more during trials on my AoE heavy toon. Now I can't get more than 5% per.

Well, you already found me in-game, but Plas told me about your post so I HAD to come find it. Glad to have ya back man.

My first Spines many years ago was a Spines/DA, made after I teamed with a friend's character with that powerset and went "ooooo" at the amount of damage it did very quickly. It was also my first lvl 50 scrapper and leveled very quickly, even though back then I had to get acrobatics to combat the lack of KB protection.

Currently I have a Spines/Elec which I love. He also does incredible AOE damage, but moves/recharges faster, has KB protection and heal/regen and recovery powers. While other secondaries may be harder to hit, he hits back harder

now watch how I soar

Objective Feedback:
Electric Control sounds do not match those of the other electrical sets.

Subjective Feedback:
I prefer the *crackling* sound of the other electrical sets (blast, manipulation, melee). The dull *humming* sounds of Electric Control, while possibly more authentic to the actual sound of power running through a substance, are much less dynamic. On an elec/elec dominator, the difference in sound effects between is very noticable with the electrical blast sound effects being preferable.

Yep, happening to all my costumes except the 1st slot. The worst part is, most of my customizations weren't saved (and they were plentiful and varied) so I would have to redo each power from memory, if I can even remember which color combos I FINALLY liked - grrrr....

I had this issue last night. After I deleted all characters over 12, I was able to redeem unlocked slots after "purchasing" them again.

I have a elec/elec that is nearing 49 and he has leveled faster than any tank I've had previously. I don't have tough/weave and what IOs he does have went towards recharge/regen/recovery and I regularly solo him on +2x4 in AE missions without any real problems. I don't know how he would play with other secondaries, but the AoE/KD of elec melee helps mitigation quite a bit (Thunderstrike + Lightning Rod = FTW). The endurance drain power keeps me running with no real downtime (thanks to Lightning Reflexes + recharge bonuses) even with Focused Accuracy running with only 1 EndRedux slotted. He has been one of my most fun toons to play in the last 5 years.

My sheild tank is only 24, so can't really give you a reliable opinion on that one yet.

Funny thing about the twitch I've noticed is that whenever I'm activating a TP power while someone else is, our twitches are in sync, even if one of us started the activation a while before the other person.

I'm just glad that this is not just me. Thought I was going crazy when I noticed the blocky terrain....

It's all a MA plot.

I'm just happy it wasn't just me. I hoped it was a bug since it's only been since issue release, but it's always nice to know other people are having it too and it's not just that my PC is crappy

Thanks for the review Hell_O_Ween.

Honestly, when I made this mission it was just for something cute to try out the MA (it all started with the high school cliques with powers and went from there). I had never even initially planned to put much text in the different fields, but then I kept having ideas and hearing dialogue in my head, so had to give in to imagination's cracking whip.

Oddly enough, it never even occurred to me to explain how the students got their powers (is that bad?), but I sort of thought of it as what you would expect that particular high school stereotype to have, just turned up a notch. I do plan on putting in a bit more info text, just haven't gotten around to it yet (at first they weren't even going to have any, but then the voices in my head started).

I originally had more ambushes at the end, but some earlier feedback mentioned the end boss was overly hard, so I tweaked a bit. I ran it several times myself both solo and on teams to try to make sure it was reasonably doable and still fun/challenging (which I HIGHLY recommend as having to deal with the mobs YOU made makes you really eager to balance them for all types of players/ATs).

I'm really glad you liked it and if it was fun to play then my personal mission is accomplished. If I do any significant changes, then I'll be sure to let you know. Thanks again for the great review

If anyone feels like reviewing my arc, I humbly submit it for your comments - 6536 "Paragon High". It's only one mission and was edited a little based on anonymous player feedback.

Seems hover/flight needs re-re-tweaking. Flew into the train and upon exiting the train in a new zone Cerebrawl is vibrating like he's having siezures.

Flight or Hover on?

[/ QUOTE ]

Happens with either flight, hover or temp powers. This has happened to me on every character I've done it on every time I zone since the latest patch. Moving forward or shutting off flight stops it like a previous poster said. I have /bugged it in-game.

My first 50 was raised in the Hollows. I was one of those people who didn't know that you could skip Dave's missions after talking to him and pretty much stayed in the zone until around lvl 16-ish. I killed Frostfire so many times on so many PUGs that now we're on a firstname basis. The Hollows was hard, to be certain. But the main thing I respected about the Hollows was this: IT TAUGHT US HOW TO RUN. Agro distance, breaking Line of Sight, charity (giving insp/rezzes to dead lowbies), and just the plain experience of teaming up with unknown heroes to battle threats that you could never tackle alone. Many of the people who are now in my SG were met while transversing the Hollows. Shared adversity begat conversation about strategy, which lead to more general conversation, finding stuff in common, then eventually becoming friends and remaining that way to this very day. It was hard, yes. But it was worth it and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.

Thank you War Witch for giving some care and attention to the furnace that forged me into the hero I am today.

These are some others I've been working on for members of my SG. I decided to stay with the same basic framework to make creation easier, since I'm probably going to be doing quite a few of these. Hope you like...

The Mighty Cobra

Thank you all for the kind words. I did an attempt at a more traditional, less text-heavy background for one of my good friend's characters. I was very inspired by Powerforge , which if you look at his thread, shows off his incredible work. I can't do effects anywhere near as good as that artisan, but here is the best I can do so far.

I present to you : Plutony

This is my first attempt at creating a wallpaper for my main character in some of his costumes after getting back into using Photoshop (used to use it a lot, but stopped for a year or two). What do you think?
