I just made Dread Harvest, a Plant/Poison.

I have no idea where you got the idea that anyone was seriously advocating selling bugfixes, but it sure is funny to read you raging against it. -
Quote:And what exactly would be the point in putting a bugfix in the market instead of just applying it, except an intent to charge for it? And again, they'd have to add extra code (and no doubt more bugs) just to make such a system work in the first place.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
I never said anything about it being "purchase only". That's your misinterpretation.
-
Perhaps they could give that function to Null the Gull? Apparently that's faster. It's really unsubtle and immersion breaking.
-
Quote:Ohhhh, boy. The forum and chat explosion over making bug fixes purchase-only would be legendary. Especially since they'd have to add new code just for segregating people into "fixed" and "broken" status.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
My hope is that the next things added to the Market are bug fixes.
-
I failed to get "Technomancer", ended up making "Ari the Technomancer" since a three letter personal name was all that would fit.
I made:
Steel Sovereign
Timeshatter
Nanoswarm
The Will of the Storm
Mistress Arcana ("Lady Arcana" my first choice was taken)
Smash Girl
Winterwrath
Flame of Entropy -

Quote:I'd also like to point out another synergy; since you can apply Envenom with its -Res, -Def, and -Regen separately from Weaken (which affects offensive abilities), Seeds will let your confused enemies destroy themselves faster. As opposed to, say /Rad where the toggles weaken both the enemy defenses and attacks at the same time. If you are solo and therefore low on damage that can help a lot.Originally Posted by AWRocketman
Originally I thought that the Illusion/Time would be superior pairing, but as I was thinking about Plant/Poison I started seeing a lot of natural synergies.
When the secondary AoE effects of Poison were added I didn't think much of it. The radius is too small for most spawns. However, when paired with an AoE confusion power you'll have all sorts of nice bunched up mobs to hit with them.
That means that all sorts of -res for better damage combined, some good -tohit for defense. Add to all that all the proc damage goodness that both sets can offer (amplified by all the -res) and I think this makes for a nasty combo. -
I saw this thread and just checked; Power Suppression worked just fine for me, at least in the Port Oakes AE no-powers room.
By any chance did you zip into the Power Suppression area on a Rocket Board? Like Walk, Rocket Boards do work in Power Suppression areas. -
Quote:Thematically, my Fire/Time (named Flame of Entropy) explains her fire powers as an extension of her time manipulation powers; she increases the entropy of matter until it falls apart at a massively accelerated rate; in other words, it basically burns or boils away. Literally burning if it can rust or otherwise oxidize; the difference between rust and burning largely being how fast it happens after all.Originally Posted by _Elektro_
I'm thinking of a Sci-Fi based character... Time Manipulation and Rad? I don't know. Rad is kind of the red headed step child of blaster sets.
Fire would probably be the -strongest- to pair up with Time, but thematically I'm not sure it works for me. -
Quote:Nitpick: Her work.Originally Posted by joebartender
Most of the info that Culex gathered is still valid as I don't recall any enemy types that had resistance added to them.
You will have to look into new Praetorian groups on your own but his work should cover the bulk of what your looking for. -
Quote:It's my understanding it was tested for some time, they just didn't tell anyone it was there.Originally Posted by Clouded
I don't mind being wrong. I was just annoyed that there was no testing to verify MARTy was implemented correcty. It's not that I don't trust the devs but I've been around long enough to know that any new mechanic introduced can and usualy does have a few bugs that need to be tweaked.
-
My wild guess would be that at least hints will come within weeks, and whatever-it-is will come out with 21.5. If they intended a longer wait I would have expected them to proliferate Illusion instead of giving Doms nothing this round of proliferation.

Quote:Well, that's why you take Hover and Fly!Originally Posted by Chase_Arcanum
I dunno, they all look like they'd be rather painful to walk in, let alone fight.

Quote:You can use them with the sleeveless jacket, at least the metal bra thing; it didn't try it with anything else.Originally Posted by Serva_Obscura
Yeah would be nice if you could use the female barbarian chest detail pieces with the "jackets" and "sleeveless jackets" categories like you can with the female steampunk chest detail pieces
-
Fisrt thing I bought was Beam Rifle. Then IIRC it was the backpack and the Barbarian set. I immediately made a Beam Rifle/Traps character with the backpack; it seemed appropriate for a guy who carries around so many gadgets.
-
Quote:The male belt too; my first use of the Barbarian set was to use the metal-with-bumps belt and armbands on a Science origin character whose main costume was the Metallic set, colored silver. The belt and armbands colored black & gold provide a nice metallic accent, and look just as good as techy parts.Originally Posted by Serpine
I'm guessing more people will use the double plate shoulder armor for tech rather then primitive outfits (it is generic enough for either which is awesome).

Quote:Bug:Originally Posted by Marshal_Valor
I can't make a new character using the Wisp Aura even though I was able to before I21. It also doesn't show up at a tailor/trainer on a new character either. However, I still have it on characters who had it previously and it shows up at the tailor/trainer for those characters. Is this a bug?
Quote:Originally Posted by AvateaThe Wisp Aura is currently not available to players. This will be resolved in a coming patch. -
Quote:And these four I are what I got around to making today. Steel Sovereign (Bots/Time) and Flame of Entropy (Fire/Time) redside; Mistress Arcana (Psi/Dark corruptor) and Winterwrath (Electric/Ice stalker) heroside. Psionic Blast looks very "magic" I think with the alternate blast-from-the-hand animations; Mistress Arcana's are purple & gold colored, with the Runes combat aura.Originally Posted by Obscure Blade
I have plans & character concepts for:
Bots/Time; a robotic ruler cast back from an alternate future where he ruled Earth and was overthrown, and who intends to conquer this time.
Fire Blast/Time; a villainess with powers over entropy; her fire powers are her enhancing the natural decay and dissolution of matter until it ignites.
<snip>
Some kind of Psi/Dark corruptor.
An Electric/Ice Armor Stalker, some winter themed name - I have an idea if it isn't taken. -
I don't really have a "home server", but i'm not going to turn down another server full of free slots. I promptly made 4 characters. Steel Sovereign (Bots/Time) and Flame of Entropy (Fire/Time Corruptor) redside; Mistress Arcana (Psi/Dark corruptor) and Winterwrath (Electric/Ice stalker) heroside.

Time travel and the English language don't get along well. -

I've a character concept for a Necro/Sonic Mastermind.
Quote:Yes, they get both Fire blast and Thermal this round.Originally Posted by Madadh
And by the exact same token, and /Fire..... I can't recall if Thermal is getting proliferated to Defs or not, but I have that in my head for some reason. If it's not a fever dream, then a Therm/Fire seems almost a must. -
I saw that message, but didn't really have the time or opportunity to get there. I'd just parked the character I was on, Kitten Crusade* on Justice on top of Galaxy Girl's head and zoomed out for a nice dramatic sendoff scene.
*For the curious, she's Mind/Rad and has the shoulder kitten costume piece; by her bio, the kitten is psychic and the actual heroine. -
