Quote:Or just add alternative graphics for existing sets...Originally Posted by Xzero45
Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing a blast set that wasn't something launched from your hand. Like you summon beams of light from the sky, chunks of earth from the ground, furious winds to overcome your opponent, etc. Ranged damage doesn't have to mean "Shoots out of the hand." So if they did that with a light-based set, that'd be okay in my book.
These days, if you want a new attack set, you need a gimmick. There isn't much difference between Ice and Water blast - apart from the tidal gimmick.
If you can come up with an interesting gimmick, attach the word "holy" to it, and post it too the suggestions forum. -
Stalkers get a much better tier 9. I'm thinking of dropping Hibernate all together next time I respec Frosty Robot.

Ties in with my theory that the "angels" that appear occasionally in Night Ward are Battalion. -
Quote:Ditched, or destroyed?Originally Posted by DJ_Korith
I think it's more along the lines of the Rikti made themselves unappetizing to the Battalion by ditching their well.
Could be an important plot point. Rikti have some way of countering well-power.
Oh, and the fist mention of the Battalion that I recall was in a paper magazine article on the Invention System. Must have been around issue 6 time. -

I had been hoping for Beast Mastery to go on sale, which I knew was long odds. I threw in the towel this morning and spent some accumulated stipend to buy it.

Quote:This would appear to be correct. The Battalion use a number of other species as minions (nictus?).Originally Posted by Golden Girl
The Shivans could come is useful here - they've already been established as the Battalion shock troops, as well as being able to alter and adapt themselves to their surroundings, so there's plenty of scope with them to expand the group to 50 with new enemy types to allow non-Incarnates to get invovled with the Coming Storm, even if they do decide to make the Battalion an Incarnate-only enemy group.
I doubt we will see any Battalion solo missions for an issue or two after the initial invasion anyway. -

The clips where exclusive to Comic-con. In the event that anyone would be naughty enough to record them and put them on the net, you wouldn't be allowed to link to them from here.

Dinosaurs as in sentient beings evolved from dinosaurs, or dinosaurs as in "OMG the velociraptos can use doors!"?
It will probably be more along the lines of the dinosaurs are the animals on the ark. -

I can't find the patch note now, but I believe it's a deliberate nerf that also applies to Bonfire. The KB-KD chance should now be 40% in those powers.

Remember I made this observation:
Quote:I've just herd that footage shown at Comic-con showed Tony's Malibu home being destroyed by attack helicopters...Originally Posted by PRAF68_EU
Doesn't look anything like his workshop from the previous movies, and why would they use CGI when a set is already built?
Unless it's a different location.
And even if he moved his workshop to Stark Tower, I would expect anything designed by Tony Stark to be less drab and utilitarian. -
Quote:The point is, light blasting is already in the game. Full stop. The clue is in the name: Luminous Blast. Discussion of specific animations is a completely different, unrelated topic.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
I don't think we were discussing what is "essential." Water Blast wasn't, according to basically every thread since the dawn of time, and yet here it is.
Holy, given the mixed up pantheon of the game, is undefinable and could be anything*. Energy is, and always has been, the opposite of Negative Energy, which is not inherently "unholy".
*And will get even more mixed up when the Battalion arrive on the scene. -
Quote:Blasts coming out of your butt isn't covered by any powerset either. Doesn't mean adding them is essential.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
Actualy what's not covered by any blast set is blasts coming from the sky instead of your hands, which is what I picture here, personally. Like the Holy spell in various games.

Quote:Inspiring/corrupting others to evil deeds, whilst keeping his own hands clean, makes him even more evil.Originally Posted by cursedsorcerer
Then again, those things that Westin Phipps does are ACTUALLY done by player villains, not Phipps himself.
Westin Phipps is undoubtedly the most evil character in the game. -
Quote:Just because something isn't confirmed, doesn't mean it isn't going to happen. I never predicted anything about when something will be officially announced. I'm not even 100% certain they will all be part of the initial release of issue 24. But my predictions aren't based on magic or guesswork - they WILL happen* - and before issue 25 comes out.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
Since we don't have confirmation yet that we'll get customization in I24 or any additional pools (purchased or free) in I24, it's still only 50%.
* Oh, and Granite will be recolourable too. -
Quote:Well, one of those is coming, anyway.Originally Posted by planet_J
Still waiting for Psionic Melee and Psionic Armor personally...have been for at least 5 years
But Light/Holy - already covered, with several different options. -

Quote:No, they wouldn't be. You could still slot brawl for damage and accuracy though.Originally Posted by Jumpman
Would those brawl debuffs be enhanceable? Seems unlikely since they aren't always part of the power. Still, that would be neat in a way.
-
I don't see any reason why Aid Self would change. Making it available without another power pick is buff enough.

Quote:Except that Doc Ock was awful - "oh knows I'm possessed by my lab equipment". Should have stuck with him being a proper mad (but sometimes charming) scientist.Originally Posted by JKCarrier
Think about Alfred Molina's Doc Ock, or Heath Ledger's Joker or Tom Hiddleston's Loki -- a good villain doesn't just set the plot in motion, they're compelling characters in their own right.

Quote:So you can have an attack chain just using Fighting and Brawl.Originally Posted by Arbiter Hawk
Fun factoid we didn't mention in the Coffee Talk - Boxing, Kick, and Cross Punch also grant bonuses to your Brawl as well. They're just thematic/easter-egg-y, but they are fun. If you have either Boxing or Kick, your Brawl has a 10% chance to proc a Recharge and ToHit debuff on its target. This debuff is double strength if you own both of those powers. If you own Cross Punch, your Brawl also has a 10% chance to proc a Regen and Recovery debuff on its target.
Main concern is this is very binary, and AT dependant. You either want is all, and it replaces most of your attacks (Tankers, Brutes, and maybe MMs, Defenders and melee Crabs). Or, because it doesn't proc crits, the attacks remain a poor choice (Scrappers, Stalkers, Corruptors, Controllers etc). Will it be possible to get Tough and Weave without any of the attacks?
= the new Hasten?Quote:On the Presence note, you mention the single-target Taunt becoming a single-target ranged Placate, but Unrelenting is the new tier 5 power in the set, and it's also pretty cool. Using it gives you a moderate Heal over Time, a moderate Recharge bonus, a moderate Damage bonus, and a moderate Recovery bonus. Additionally, you can use it while defeated, restoring a moderate amount of health and endurance to you if used in this manner.
Main concern here is that some of the new Presence abilities look like improved versions of existing secondary powers (Scare, Smoke Flash, Revive)! -
Quote:Nope.Originally Posted by Texas Justice
Yes, but the prediction was about what would be announced today.
I said "the changes will be...", NOT "The changes that will be announced..."
So, 100% correct. Thank you and goodbye. -
Quote:This.Originally Posted by Premonitions
They could be doing stuff to the more crappy powers to make them less crappy.
The changes will be:
1) Addition of a 5th power to all pools.
2) Overhaul and general buff of existing powers
3) Graphic customisation
4) New pools to buy in the market
Since pools will be generally more powerful, it removes any pressure to nerf Hasten. When 5+ pools have "unskippable" powers, something has to be skipped...
