Personally...Doms will give you what you need in general.

Mind/Psi/Fire Perma Dom (EASY TO ACHIEVE) does it all if you want to play something offensive and defensive at the same time. Sure your main debuff will be Drain Psyche, but if you needed to choose one, it's a good one.

Add in melt armor from the Epic Power Pools and you are looking at pretty much a swiss army knife.

But I would agree with Brand that Cold, and Dark Miasma are excellent for TFS, although truthfully I found Time to be underwhelming in general. I know it's solid, but I find that it's busy and requires to much stacking of it's own powers, where as Cold and Dark just work brilliantly on their own.

So...really...what we are all trying to say is...

1) Some people would like more space.

2) Some people would keep it the same way..but because they don't write bios.

3) Some people dont read bios so it does not matter to them.

4) Some people love reading bios....and thusly the people who would like to write more would please those people.

5) Some people write their own personal fan fiction and keep it in their heads.



So... people in Catagory 1 would make people in catagory 4 happy, and people in the rest of the catagories would never care because they would never notice the change to begin with.

Logic dictates that more space would be better. There should not even be a debate. If more space was available it would please the people who want it and the people who like to read it, and the rest would never know because they dont use the feature.




I dont want street justice or titan weapons, but that does not mean others should not get that feature just because I don't want them.

I posted something similar to this for things like controllers, MM's and specific power sets just in case the future holds something not to friendly for my gaming habits.

Yes, when something goes on sale when you are a VIP you cannot purchase it. The concept is of course that you can't buy something that you already have access too.

However said concept means you are renting said power, not actually purchasing it outright, which means when you stop being VIP your rental is complete, and you must then buy it directly.

So...My original example was with my water heater. So...it busted. Needed a new one. Got one and was renting it, until they had a sale. So I wished to buy it, which I was not allowed to do because of the rental agreement. I then found the same water heater on sale somewhere else and bought it, terminated my contract with said provider.

However in this case, by you renting the power, you pay 15 dollars a month, which is direct to the game company. Should you decide not too you must A) use points B) buy points, one in which is a one time purchase and offers no more returns to the company should you choose no longer to purchase anything from the store.

By a business standpoint, you can rent-to-own your powerset by remaining active enough to get the points and then end your sub. But during that time there could be sales in place which would allow you to keep your points, or more of them. But again does nothing for the company financially.

So...you miss the sale, to ensure that you will continue to rent your character...to possibly own, or have to buy points in order to fill the coffers of the company you were originally renting from.

Makes sense...

Don't like it.

But it makes for good marketing

Ill put it this way. From level 1-32 is pie...however Im fine with that.

Ill put it another way...35-45 is slower and feels longish. Or longer! Or something

45-50 feels like eternity, and thats when I usually drop a toon an make something different, because being stuck at 46 for what feels like forever is just a crawl.

But thats my oppinion

My new Dark/Mental/Force Mastry Blaster.

I would normally reply with my Grav/FF/Psi Controller...or My Mind/Psychic/Fire Perma Dom. (Much for the same reason Seldom explained. There is nothing she cannot do!) ..but!!!

Recently I have attempted another blaster, Hexsing! I feel completely awesome, and in many cases she has revived the game for me, so much that I even want to level her slowly because I dont want the good times to stop.

She is Dark/Mental/Force Mastry and I frankenslotted her just oddly. To mimic throwing curses or hexes. I have decimation holds in all my powers, and a lockdown in abyssal gaze, so she really solos well, mitigates well and has Personal Force Field in times of trouble.

I have never been able to solo this easy since my dom, only arguably, she does it better.

Im just enthralled with her!

Prolly will go the route of...1000 Dead Puddles that another MMO had when allowing duplicate names.

There can be only one....is just a dream away now.

I know myself, Im going to create Golden Girl...and ERP her to a tarnished reputation.





I am kidding....

If you give me 1 Mill Fame/Information/Infamy in game on virtue! I will usure you WIN!

Oooooh!

Bubble Bobble....the MMO.

Icecapades....The MMO
Beauty Pageant...the MMO. Where people catfight/pvp amongst themselves to be the most pretty. They then talk about each other behind their backs. (Course...this coud be just a virtue CC under atlas)

For MM's: X-GF/BF and the big one is the X-Wife/Husband. You sommon them. They fight amongst themselves, then turn on the summoner.

Pay to win would imply if this was PVP. However this is not a PVP centric game. Having a whistle that summons a werewolf is hardly outlandish considdering Boccor gives zombies and there are already pet temp powers that are earnable.

These can be used by anyone, and while squishies benefit from it prolly the most when soloing, I do not see how a AI controlled pet working for a squishy as a damage sponge is at all better than said squishy just working on a team.

Pay to win in that mindset would be no different than vet awards really. So pay to win has always been in this game, only it was exclusively for people who played the game the longest (Which mind you is still present), the only difference is that now anyone can buy something for 80 points and have a 5 use pet. Not worth the points in my mind, but I hardly call it WIN!

Now. This is not serious, but people in my team today were joking about powersets we would laugh at. Things you know would never get in the game.

Some suggestion were

~Bladder Control (Old, but still good)
~Purse Assault (My contribution to Doms. Hit people with a purse and pull stuff out to make ranged attack)
~Verbal Assault
~Pest Control
~Fanboi Defense
~Child Support (My other Entry)
~Food Fighting (Melee...only with food)

Anyone else have funny things?

Personal Focefield....Enter Mob...Make Sammich....Come back alive.

Running down the Streets of Steels Canyon with Force Bubble on

Ill remain VIP. Although times are tough, I like the game enough to channel 15 per month. If I can't remain VIP it will be because of some health factor, monitary factor, or some emergency which will require funding.

Otherwise, Im in!

I am so pleased! Pleased actually is perhaps the wrong word to use to describe my newist creation....Hexsing!

Now blasters are not my cup of tea. Squishy, little defense and well, just the Glass Cannon. I have made many, and deleted many opting for more survivability. Then I got a theme in my head that could only really come about as a blaster. Others would work, but I just needed to change it up again. Make something new and exciting, with a touch more twitch.

So I rolled up a Dark/Psi!

First off! Praise the Devs for porting Dark Powers to a blast set. Im not saying it's OP in the least, and I have chosen to actually gimp my damage a great deal. But I survive, and have a great time.

Abyssal Gaze alone makes the set for me. It's on fast recharge and I 6 slotted it as soon as I got it.

Now unlike other blasters or blaster styles of play who say ramp up damage and accuracy, I went a completel alternative route. Skipping most of my melee support in favor of range, and bypassing tough and weave. (I figure why bother with defense. It's nice, but Ill always be hit my something, and I need to accept that)

What I have done however is 5-6 slotted all of my dark powers, which is easy because I only use 3 Psi powers. In each I have Accuracy x 1, Damage x3 or X2 and 2X accuracy debuffs placed in my slots. With the exception of Abyssal Gaze which has more recharge, accuracy and damage, with just one - to Accuracy enhancer.

The result...Im not getting hit by anything, and if I do it seems quite rare or the enemy gets the jump on me. Sure some people noticed my damage was not on par with the other blasters that team, but when all is said and done, Im not pulling aggro off the tank.

I guess what I am getting at is that I feel like I am doing more support/controlling than just blasting, and for now it actually seems like it's going really well.

So my question at the end of all of this is...

Is this the totaly wrong way to think of a blaster? Is breaking the tried and true mold going to bite my butt later, or am I possibly on to something?

ToT Leagues... = Stupid...Bad feelings and everything inbetween. I chose to lead one on my main. A Grav/FF. The reason being is that the issue with a ToT league is that people drop and enter so quickly that it is really hard to manage the league, 100% of the time. Moving people who are just randomly hitting doors and going through lists to find 50's to put in that leadership role.

Hense why I remained in Personal Force Field for so long so I could do it without hassle.

But no....(Considdering you as team lead of your team could have made a 50 the star carrier)

You were not just trying to play the game. Just playing the game with a ToT league as long as you are opening the doors would allow for the same halloween drops for Salvage or Tips (If in costume). This pure and simple was more about the XP grind that comes along with the ToT FARM. It was not about being less effective (Although you would have issues battling the Purple beasties and I recognize that) in my head it would be more about not being able to farm it properly for the quick XP boost.

However this is sort of all about you, but it also in some ways should be, although I think you handled it differently than I would have. I would have simply told the leader of the ToT (Who was prolly very busy) to move you or adjust the teams.

Me- After these next couple doors that are opened and finished could we take 2 minutes to allow the league leader try to fix or reasign the teams to have a 50 leading each one?

I had one player do that on my ToT Leage and being so busy managing I said sure! Thats a great idea. So I asked people to stop opening doors and had a chance to readjust the teams accordingly.

But to be honest with you, I have had people go completely off the handle about not being on a team with a 50 leader, and thats because I was busy, but the league leader tries to do their best.

I think it was your approach and that you took it into global to vent your frustration to a mass of people who might not know this other player, and while trying to preserve your fine name, your went out purposefully attempting to tarnish the name of another player to other players.

That happened to me just the other day, and I mentioned something of it in the player Toxicity thread. I didn't appreciate it when that person did it to me in global when I was trying to fix things, and I would not have appreciated you doing it to me either.

I would be super happy if you could capture my Main Disomnia. She's my Telepath with Narcoleptic sleeping disorder!
