There is a contact on the Hospital steps in Steel Canyon too. I think she has an exploration badge under her feet just like the guy in AP. -
A slightly battered steel I-beam.
A huge hammer consisting of a tree trunk with a boulder lashed to the end.
A huge hammer consisting of a thick metal bar with a chunk of concrete chained to the end.
Something that looks like a ripped out hunk of machinery spitting sparks from short circuits. -

I am sure I'll end up spending more money in the end with F2P.

Is this going to be a change for everyone or will we have to spend our paragon merit things in order to skip boxing to take weave, and all that?

Quote:I agree. We aren't stuck with nothing but variations on fantasy characters or different types of soldiers or guys in different models of powered armor. We can mix and match, we can come up with our own original or just plain weird character concept and look. We can make it fit in the game historical background or say he just wandered in from another universe and it still works.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
What I mean is I enjoy City of Heroes because in this game, really any thematic is appropriate.

Quote:IIRC it was mentioned in another thread that BU acts like a triple combo, the max.Originally Posted by DMystic
So long as Build Up, Assassins Strike and Placate are combo builders instead of finishers the set should be fine.

Quote:Of those two I'd definately go with the Elec/Psi Dom, it's a stronger combo. Blaster Psi/ is generally considered substandard, and a Psi/MM also has the problem of all those heavily psi resistant enemies. The Dom can deal with those easier due to having some energy damage and a bigger bag of tricks than the blaster.Originally Posted by TrainRobber
So what set is best of Psy powers, Im thinking of either a Elec/Psy Dom or a Pys/MM blaster, Im partial to blasters, but it looks a bit stronger on the Dom side of the world.

Some prices have been released; see the table here.

Here's something interesting from Pupster at the Comic Con, a Dominator specific enhancement apparently, named Ascendency of the Dominator.
Apparently all the ATs are getting some AT specific IOs. -
Quote:It's my understanding that the market uses Paragon Points that can be bought with cash, or if you are a VIP (subscriber) you get a stipend of Points each month that you can buy more of on top of the stipend.Originally Posted by Impervious Fist
I don't know as much as the next guy about i21, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume real money is going to be used in this new market that's replacing boosters and veteran rewards.
Quite possibly more valuable, since it appears that there'll be more to buy and you won't be stuck buying a whole pack if you only want one thing from it. There will still be "packs" of a sort anyway in the form of bundled collections of parts.Quote:Originally Posted by Impervious Fist
If it just so turns out that it isn't free, does anyone think it will be of equal value to the boosters and the other optional stuff we pay to look pretty? -

Tell Posi to make those travel powers at L4 inherent, because we are all out of power choices already.Also to quote you from the other thread, apparently presently second tier pool powers in general like Tough and Aid Self will be available at level 4 too, which will open up builds.Quote:Originally Posted by MajorDecoy
What? How are we running out of power choices? With fitness inherent, we have more powers than ever before.
Quote:Originally Posted by MajorDecoy
This may not make it out of beta, but you can now get powers like aid self and tough at level 4 without any prerequisites, though getting powers like weave still require you to have two other powers from the set. Level 14 for those powers now too. -
Quote:Or two. From the names Sweeping Cross and Spinning Strike sound like they could both be AoE.Originally Posted by Kioshi
Annnd it seems to have one Aoe:

Quote:Ha, way back when Weapons Customization was in Beta there was a bug where you'd end up with two weapons at the same time overlaid on each other. I said at the time that I thought that some like mace + axe actually looked cool that way; now I can get one!Originally Posted by Grey Pilgrim
I suppose some will like it, but I like my maces to be maces. I was kind of sad that it seemed like they combined the two. But it's a new mace and axe option, so I will take it.

Instead we get empty promises.

Less NPC, more storyline character who only shows up in cinematics.
It's more an example of how awful the resolution is on older YouTube clips.Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Actually, this is probably Tyriel's one real claim to fame all told. And it just serves to highlight how ****** the old FMVs we fawned over really are in retrospect

Titan Weapons are coming out after Issue 21, so don't count. Time Manipulation is a new set and has nothing to do with Power Proliferation; as a buff/debuff set it isn't eligible to be proliferated to Doms at all. And Street Justice & Beam weapons aren't part of Power Proliferation, but have to be bought with Paragon Points. So a better comparison is:
Brute - 3 sets (katana, broad, regen)
Scrapper - 3 sets (mace, axe, energy aura)
Tanker - 2 sets (martial, sr)
Corruptor - 2 sets (poison, psionic)
Defender - 2 sets (fire, thermal)
Blaster - 2 sets (dark, dark m)
Stalker - 1 sets (ice)
Controller - 1 sets (poison)
MM - 1 set (sonic)
Dominator - zero point zero. -
Quote:Hmmm. Sound problematic for a kill-first-or-die Blaster, but it could be good for Corrs & Defs. Sounds like Sonic actually, hopefully with less aggravating sound effects.
The individual attacks are fairly weak, but each attack lands a debuff to increase subsequent damage, making the powerset play something like a ranged Brute. -
Quote:Going by vague memory, I think that Psi Melee and Dual Pistols were high up there.Originally Posted by bAss_ackwards
Was that poll archived somewhere? I'd be interested to see what else on it was used to make new sets.
I remember Energy Fields being on there, the one I was rooting for the most. Shield Defense was the winner for Armor Set, and has been a player favorite ever since. -
Quote:They said their animation team didn't have the time for anything with new animations; those new sets presumably being a major reason why. Which does suggest that whatever they are planning has new animations.Originally Posted by Jibikao
And yes, they did say they have no time to port a set in this round of Proliferation but they announced FOUR NEW SETS for all core ATs except for Dominator. The announcement of Street Fighting and Beam Rifle is a bit shocking to me because I was under the impression that they don't have time to make "new" sets at all. Well, obviously, they do have time. They just don't have time for Dominator in issue 21.

Quote:They look like slightly modified and recolored versions of the rifles the Resistance uses:Originally Posted by That_Ninja
Also, you think those hooded guys are holding would could be the model for beam weapons?
-
Quote:Maybe they move or shimmer or something, to look like "energy". These are stillshots after all, they may look different animated.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Is it just me, or are the "energy wings" auras a little low-res?
Oh, how I want those wings of his...Quote:Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
You mean like how Tyriel had Talsorian wings? -
First Ward and Destroyed Galaxy look cool.
Love the new "lava Shivan".
I like the hooded guys in black and yellow.
The Seed and the Avatar of Hamidon look cool. -

It's not just you, there's a guy in this thread complaining of problems with Sharkhead on Freedom. Sharkhead does seem to be one of the zones most prone to problems.
