A new APP for Defenders/Corruptors that has +defense toggle.. Preferably Energy based since ice looks terrible.


A looking at of some of the ranged mechanics, such as Nukes and Snipes.

Help Range catch up to the melee power creep.

Ehh, BK is behind the times..

Denny's came out with that nearly a year ago, is was larger and had more bacon.. They also had bacon-embedded pancakes!

Granted they were all on a limited time basis.

Matt "Positron" Miller always makes sure to carry his own supply of Enriche' in case he needs to open a bottle of whoop-**** on some poor fool.

I really have nothing against trials, though I wish they were all capped at 16 people. That's enough to give us the whole "End game-raid feel" that I think the devs wanted, while not enough to be total overkill.

It's pretty nuts when youre on a full team of 24 and everyone is spamming their Destinies, Lores, MM's have their pets out, and everyone is using their buffs, its total sensory overload and sometimes I can barely see what it is we're fighting lol.

As for cross-server teaming for itrials, and perhaps even TF's, I'm all for that.

Though how would the game handle the team forming? itrials do benefit from a modicum of team organization, such has having a few damage sponges, etc. I guess we could flag ourselves as either "DPS-y, Tanky, Supporty" and the game matches us all together making sure its a nice mixture.

I'm all for the charity, but just leave it at that. No in-game goodies, costumes, or followers..

Knowing you just helped feed or clothe a starving child should be reward enough.

I dunno, Robocop sure is kickass enough, but isn't he a bit monotone and.. stiff? Whereas Jackson is usually super expressive and animated. Not sure if Robocop would be a great match for him..

Hmm damage powers only? Bah, there goes my plans on putting into Handclap..

Though it could be hella useful for those powers with "scattery" Knockback, like Explosive Arrow or Frag Grenade.. I might pick up Electron Haze on my /Rad defender now, if I can make room for it.

Could work nicely in Gale, turning that power into a KB power should make it quite strong, but then again it might serve better in Tornado. All depends on the player and the other powe r set I suppose.

Heh, it would make Repulsion Field a mighty useful power if only you slot it into that.. And we'll have to see how its handled in Bonfire, that could be a beast.

Any word on how long these will be available? I'm guessing we're gonna want to load up on them if they are limited time, since they are non-tradable, and who knows what kind of builds a person will come up with sometime down the line..

Virtue has a fair amount of RP, as well as a large population. Although, like stated above, it's still not extremely common and you have to seek it out yourself. There should be a few global channels or Supergroups formed for just a thing. If RP really interests you then I would recommend hoping onto Virtue, and trying to find a good RP Supergroup and global channels.


Just the other day I (unknowingly, was an invite from a friend) joined an "RP AE" group. They were doing each other's AE missions, reading the clues, and RPing it all along the way.. There was more Rping going on than playing. It drove me absolutely bonkers (not much of an RPer myself) so I politely stepped out after about an hour. Although I was glad to see them doing it and enjoying themselves.

These lists really need to be adjusted for inflation or something. Comparing movies today (when tickets cost in the realm of 12-15 bucks a pop) to movies back during the "Gone With the Wind" era (when tickets cost much, much, MUCH less) just isn't valid.

Of course newer movies are going to make more and more money, since ticket prices have doubled in the last decade.. Which makes stuff like Titanic's number 2 position even that much more impressive, as it probably sold more actual tickets than Avatar.

Regardless, I'm glad to see Avengers is doing well.

and I like how the first 4 digits are "1,337" lmao

Do we know if the Absorb mechanic takes into account a character's Resistance? (and Defense, for that matter?)

Sounds silly, I know.. But several games which sport a similar "Absorb/Shield" mechanic only count the raw unmitigated damage against the Absorb Shield, which makes them go poof much quicker than one would expect.

Rad and Dark primaries immediately spring to mind. Both offer very solid offensive and defensive debuffs, and a handy heal. I imagine Time fairs well too, if you have access to that.. I know it's pretty beastly on IOs, should be good on SOs as well.

Some secondaries to consider would probably be ice, sonic, and probably fire.


Ice Blast - Good single target damage, above average AoE damage. Ice Storm and Blizzard use Blaster damage numbers. Also has a very nice single target hold.

Sonic - As stated in a post above, massive res stacking. Good single target damage, but AoE can be lackluster at times. Great control as well, with sleeps and a single target stun.

Fire Blast - Good damage across the board, but little to no control or useful secondary effects (well, its secondary effect is "maor damage!"). Sadly, Rain of Fire does not use Blaster mods, so it takes a considerable hit over the Corruptor version.

Dark/Dark is also very sturdy if you don't mind semi-slow killing speeds, and should have little issues on x6-x8 mob spawns, even on SOs.

I totally read the title in this guy's voice;
