I wasn't. I was trying to teach an A level physics class at the same time though.

Have to agree here. And Frosty can solo a big spawn of Honored Brutes quite easily. Just don't annoy the eyeballs!

As Standoff says, you get more benefit from frankenslotting anyway, and you don't need expensive sets for that.

Yes. Crushing Impact gives better enhancemnt bonuses than Mako's Bite, and costs much less.

Myth.

Farming does not produce drops at the same rate as inf.

Heard of Crushing Impact? Tiny fraction of the cost.

[ QUOTE ]
2- Use cheaper enhancements: common IOs, SOs. This way, your second build will be effectively less powerful than the first, and the resulting feeling will be... disappointment.


[/ QUOTE ]

The effect of IO sets is so small you would be pushed to notice any difference.

Do Striga arc.

The prices are only as high as people are prepared to pay for them.

What I never understood was how the cyborg pack seems to be more like an android pack. I mean, most people seem to think it means "make a robot" when a cyborg is part human...

[/ QUOTE ]

It is a farm more part human part machine than the terminator without flesh (which makes it all machine).

It represents mechanical muscules that protrude through the skin. Use a bare torso with cabled shoulders and chest detail.

Yeah, for me 2am = the middle of the night, not at night (I have to get up at 6am). Certainly if that was the time I played I would go for the US servers.

Nope, because the (non-combat) hostages aren't "entities". They can't be given any abilities at all.

The Cyborg Pack was Super Booster number 1, and so of course we have plans for 2, 3, 4 and so on, as we go down the line.

So players can expect more packs along those lines. Some really cool, specifically tailored content that may not apply to every character out there, but we're hoping that everyone finds something appealing in at least one of these packs to make them want to go out and improve their character – give them a kind of unique look, or get that unique power that just dots the I's and crosses the T's on exactly what their character was supposed to be like.

Everything else on that list, eh, can't think of thematic matches from current PPPs. Coral Embrace..?
And Villains already have a power named Force of Nature in the form of an Accolade Power, might cause problems somewhere?


[/ QUOTE ]

I think its a case of a functionaly similar power, rather than an identical power with same name and graphical effect. Coral Embrace is possible, and Hibernate or a similar powor might also fit in Levianthan Mastery. RotP doesn't fit, but a different self res might, e.g. Soul Transfer in Ghost Widows set.

Nothing in coding is simple. especially when you are dealing with an aging and clunkily written engine.

Maybe they will make it "remember" costumes, or maybe they will allow players to burger up thier costumes, or maybe they will find another solution, or maybe they will not alow respecing between crabs and banes. But to avoid disapointment it might be a good idea not to start planning your crab/bane dual build until we know more details.

Yeah, that's why I have it. It's only one of two Ice powers that can take res sets.

They are universal in that they can be slotted in any travel power, be it fly, run, jump or teleport.

The set for the Winter event is called Winters Gift.

1. Enhance Fly/Range/Jump/Run (as a single effect IO)
2. Enhance Fly/Range/Jump/Run/Endrec (as a double effect IO)
3. Gobal +20% slow resistance.

All 3 parts are unique. the fist set bouns is 6% cold resistance, I can't remember the second.

There is at least one more Universal Travel set in issue 13.

I cant help but feel this is something coming to "balance" pvp


[/ QUOTE ]

Why?

It would make more sense. I would imagine the OOC reason was the moonbase was going to be accessible at level 20.

[ QUOTE ]
It wouldn't be preventing dual builds, it would just be preventing selecting bane powers if you have crab powers in either build, and visa vesa.


[/ QUOTE ]
And how could respecs work in this situation ? If you have 2 bane builds and want respecing one of them in crab, by instance ? ^^

[/ QUOTE ]

If they went that way, then you would have to respec one build to wolf spider before you could change the other to crab.

I avoid Empaths. To many times have I encountered players who think Empathy is a synonym for leach.

That was going to be the launchpad for the moon rocket.

Ran into some technical difficulties I believe...


Or maybe they couldn't get planning permission for putting a massive, highly explosive rocket in the middle of a densely poplulated city?

Aye, I was going to add that these would all be for the squishy ATs. It looks like a Focused Accuracy equivelent would be the only new power for stalkers and brutes.


Yeah, it would seem fair to give pets heroeside, especially blasters and defenders, but I don't know which powers to replace, and it would probably have to be an existing pet, since there is a lot of development work in creating a new pet (AI stuff).

I've been making a second string list of good powers in APPs that don't have eqivelents in PPPs.

Hibernate
Rise of the Pheonix
PFF
Force of Nature
Indomitable Will
Earths Embrace

I don't think it would be an matter of axing all brute pets, or all stalker snipes.

The reason the PPPs have so many similar powers was because they couldn't be respeced. Now that is changing, they can make them more different to each other.

So if a brute wants a pet, he could select a patron with a pet, otherwise he could select a patron without a pet.

Same with stalker snipe. They reallly only need 1 or 2 patrons to offer this, not 3.

It wouldn't be preventing dual builds, it would just be preventing selecting bane powers if you have crab powers in either build, and visa vesa.


One, someowhat clumsy work around for the costume issue would be to give you crab arms have any crab powers in either of your builds.
