It's been a thorn in my side for awhile, that Defenders (until GR at least) have had no access to a Defense armor power in their APP.

This has been recently remedied with the ability to grab the Corruptor PPPs . But that still requires some extensive side switching in order to receive, which is a bit inconvenient to say the least.

As it stands, the APP set for Defenders is the only (squishy) set that does not have a defense armor.

I originally attribute this to the "Theme" concept the devs had early on. Defenders had no ice or earth powers, so got no Cold of Earthy APPs, and thus, got no S/L defense in their Epics.

So I suggest a Cold APP for Defenders/Corruptors. I'll throw some powers out there that I quickly brainstormed, but this is not my strong suite.


1 - Block of Ice : Balance it accordingly for a Defender hold in their APP

2 - Frost : A Melee cone, similar to the Tanker version. Pump up it's recharge a bit to make it balanced for an APP.

3 - Either Hoarfrost or Hibernate : Both are pretty commonly used in other Epic Pools.

4 - Frozen Armor : Since Defender shield value in their APPs are close to the Tanker counterparts in numbers, this should be around 17%ish to S/L. As well as some res to cold and fire.

5 - Energy Absorption : Might be a bit overpowered using the same version the Tanker gets. I'd increase its recharge to match that of Defender's Power Sink (120). Not sure if the defense boost should remain or not.

So, what do you all think?

You might try switching to a new build (as this resets your active level to 1, and requires you to 'train up' at a trainer). Once you select your level 20 power the EATS might unlock.. Not sure if it will work, but worth a shot.

I think something needs to be done, as it is especially annoying when the above happens.. A couple of ways this suggestion might help;

As stated in the OP, calling out their name might catch their attention

Once you know who has the Acids, you can PM them. This might grab their attention quicker, and it's easier for you to explain what they need to do. (As at this point, the chat box is probably flooded with unhelpful banter about them using the Temp Powers, so much yelling could cause confusion in some people). PMing them directly helps circumvent this..

Lastly, if they had some sorta weird glow, it might catch their attention, as it is easy to miss the "Temp Power obtained" with all the battle spam going on, and remind them to check their temps.

However, its all moot if the person doesn't know basic English, is griefing, or is just totally oblivious.

An idea I had once was for the temp powers to go to a specific person, one who (hopefully) knows what he or she is doing. Perhaps the League leader, or split evenly between the two team leaders. This way, as long as the leaders know a bit about what they are doing (which is no guarantee, but more likely then some random member), there shouldn't be many problems.


Also, I think the League chat should make "beep" noises akin to Team chat, as new messages come in. Making it easier to keep up to date with the chat box in the middle of some crucial moments.

I've heard several people with similar problems.. Some crash at the start, some always crash at one of the AVs, some just crash.. a lot.. Crashes, crashes, crashes. Probably something to do with how the game handles the Trials.

Might want to try contacting Support.

I don't know if it does or not..

However, if it does, then the boost would be fairly miniscule (since the Res Debuff apparently caps off at about 10%)

I think you are all being a bit hard on them.. While I wasn't there, so cant say for sure, calling them 'leachers' might be pushing it.. It sounds like (at least one) was trying, failing, but trying. Can you call that leaching?

The fact remains that running a speed ITF as a squishy is fairly tricky. If you're not built for Defense, and you lack a major supply of purples, (or don't know whats going on) you'll be face planting a lot. Especially in that second mission when the ambushes start popping up all over the place.

I'm wagering they didn't even know what a "Speed ITF" meant, but probably should have asked you before hand.

I've felt this way for a long time.. I understand the need for some sorta 'crash', but what they have now is a bit too much. Maybe if they made it like Rads EM Pulse, it might be better. (-Recovery debuff per target hit). So if you missed a lot, either by the RNG hating you, or someone decided to scatter the mobs the instant before you blew up, your recovery isn't totally screwed.

As of now I almost always skip the nukes on Defenders (unless their primary has some way to make up for the crash, like Kin or Cold), as the damage is far too low to warrant the crash. I'm aware many of them do have some nice secondary effects attached as well, but whether they make up for all your toggles/debuffs dropping is another question.

I *personally* wouldn't mind if they just turned everything into the so called "mini Nukes", like some of the VEATs got. Take the damage down a notch, reduce the recharge some, and scrap the crash entirely.. Granted I'm sure there would be many people against that change.

Dr. Aeon: She Blinded Me With Science.
Dominatrix : Whip It
Mynx : Nyan Nyan Song!! (LOL)

King dude: "I only ask that you fight like cats!"

I like how Lion-O doesn't look like a demented Ronald McDonald Cat, but couldn't they have made his hair a bit more.. mane like?

Also, while I have nothing against it.. Why do all these new cartoons have to have a pseudo-anime look? I guess it's just what's in style.

To quote some random youtube dude on a TMNT video "I kinda miss the days when the only sharp edges were on Shredder's armor"

^Indeed, it almost felt like an after thought to me.. Like the writers had this story all thrown together, then one said "wait, why are the aliens invading earth in the first place?"

Thank you kindly for all your kind words people, much appreciated!

I enjoyed the movie for what it was, an action/popcorn flick.. Though the shaky cam made me a bit nauseous.. I was able to tolerate it (unlike District 9, the shaky cam in that movie literally made me sick to my stomach, accompanied by vomiting)...

I thought the water thing was a bit silly though.. Especially when the scientist guy said we had the only liquid water in the Universe.. What? I doubt that..

Also, they stated that the aliens already caused a noticeable drop in the ocean level. In what, 24 hours? If that were the case, then they'd suck our ocean dry relatively quickly, meaning it probably wouldn't of been worth invading Earth to begin with.

The way I understand it, is that if they allowed you to remove unwanted buffs, you'd also be able to remove unwanted debuffs as well, as the game does not distinguish between the two. Debuffs are simply buffs using negative values.

Not saying it can't be done, but that's the general response to request #3.

Though I wouldn't mind if all 3 of those suggestions made it in-game.

Heya folks,

I've been itching to make one of my Heroes or Villains in Blender, so I decided to try to take a whack at my fire/kin Corruptor.

I think the results are pretty decent, and I'd like to share it with you all.

First off, my fire/kin corr, in-game.

Then here's the model I made based off of her.

Let me know what you think, and thanks for taking a look!


Cheers.

Very nice indeed my friend!

I do feel the whole system is kind of bloated now, there's just too much stuff to keep track of..

I cant imagine what its gonna be like once they unlock all the slots..

New players especially are likely to be confused, as we've had the fortune of learning it as it is slowly fed to us.. but to someone fresh in to game, might be a bit overkill.
