I really hope Going Rogue has about a million new costume pieces.

This is one of the most requested features in the game.

BTW, those 'deadly' cysts go down in about five seconds if you spot them early and know what you're doing.

Generally on a TF, an even mix is reccomended. Tankers and scrappers to charge into battle and take the heat, Defenders and Controllers to support them, Blasters to do additional damage, and Kheldians can fill in for any role that the team is lacking.

I'd probably PL more if I had the connections or patience, because I love getting new powers and pools, and exploring everything I can do with a character. I want those epic power pools NOW!

I think there's probably already been deconstructions of the superhero concept that explore how dangerous superheroes that are an authority unto themselves would be. It works okay if you've got a handful of characters in a specific area (Spider-man and Batman work outside the law and deal with the consequences) it tends to be okay, but with hundreds of superheroes... well, call it a necessary break from reality to accomodate us.

Still, some humans do think that way. Look at the Malta group.

I think the balancing force is that there's enough superheroes on every side to balance each other out. Nazi Germany had its own supers, as would Soviet Russia, and the Rogue Isles have enough advanced military and supervillains on payroll (in theory) to defend itself from any hero incursion.

I think the key difference is that the world's most powerful supers are quite responsible, and seek to lead by example- especially Statesman, who chose to serve and protect the people rather than ruling them, and decided to be responsible with the vast power he had gained. And it kinda makes sense really; being able to throw cars around doesn't mean you'd do a good job ruling the world.

I might make a Rad/DP Defender or something similiar.

My DP will be peppermint-flavoured.

Just roll up a short, bearded Shield/Mace scrapper and make yourself some Orcs in the MA.

Storm, it looks and sounds cooler.

Between the RAs, Fort, Rez and Adrenalin boost, Empathy seems to be one of those sets that benefits from lots of +recharge.

What he said. ^ The entire job description of Tankers and Scrappers is to run into the mob and start killing things, with the rest of the team follows. Blasters don't need to pull, they just line up their AoEs and let rip while the mobs are distracted.

It's easier than it looks.

I've had a teammate complain about knockback on a TF, then a mission later they realised they were the only member who wasn't doing loads of knockback.

It's useful. It's fun. It's something you have to work around. You're not a stupid mob who blindly follows targets everywhere, you're a thinking, reasoning player who can adapt to changing circumstances.

Still up, yes, everywhere.

For heroes, Blasters, Scrappers and Tankers are all the easiest to play. Don't be afraid to have more than one of each, this game encourages altitis after all.

For villains, Brutes are simple as pie, while Masterminds are a bit tricky but very rewarding. Stalkers and even Dominators are probably also not too hard to get the hang of.

Fooooooooooooox taaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiils!

Instead of flip-flopping between two sets of emoticons can they just add more?

CO is new and shiny and making an effort to get the best publicity. It'll burn out.
