  1. Clearly, experimentation is the answer. Preferably ending with explosions.
  2. ...wait, did I miss a profileration round that gave tanks Spines and SR?
  3. Good news: They stack. FF+Sonic=damage? What damage?

    I mean they can smash stuff up and be hailed as heroes, infact the Resistance would actively encouraged the bringing down of Cole's monuments. I could see the Resistance actively hiring the Freakshow for a bit of urban deconstruction. Come for the pay, stay for the carnage!

    Primal Earth Nemesis is definitely going to want to take an interest in Praetoria...I mean...he's not there...how awful for those people it must be if the benefactor of Steam Powered Peace cannot descend from on high and save the people from ruler who clearly isn't fit to rule...
    Combine that with my theory that the Resistance are the heroic versions of the Freakshow, and things get interesting.

    On another note, the Devouring Earth's presence makes me think- co-op Hamidon Raid?
  5. They're all about a century old, they're probably going a bit grey.

    Given that he's a time traveller, that means being out of date everywhen.
  7. The marketing crew has a iron deathgrip on the devs these days... mostly thanks to the dopes here who love to whine and scream about any poorly-made statement and anything that was announced, then cancelled.
  8. It depends on the character. Melee ATs generally have no shortable of attack powers, while Controllers, Masterminds and the like have fewer pure damage powers.
  9. Yes to the bow tie, the Doctor is supposed to look ridiculous.
  10. I try to have variety, but I end up using Science and Tech the most.

    Where the HELL did they all come from anyways? The only thing that I know about Blue Steel is that he's the trainer in KR. I've read a LOT of the story arcs and haven't seen Blue Steel mentioned in any of them.

    I just don't get it... and it's getting tired to me.
    There's a fair few stories, mostly villainside, where Blue Steel is basically a deux ex machina. Combine that with the guy having a powerset not in the game until recently, and you have meme fodder.

    Not much difference.

    Also, that picture of Tyrant looks like Statesman's original costume.
  13. Has anyone mentioned that the Resistance look like heroic Freakshow?

    To be honest, Recluse would probably find it hilarious as well.

    And it works even after selfdestruct!

    Yes, selfdestruct is a major part of my playstyle.
  16. Generally, 'only drop from 50 mobs' is pretty much effective shorthand because generally once you're the level to be fighting those you'll be 50 pretty soon anyway.

    Disappointed

    Is it just me, or do the Resistance look like heroic Freakshow?

    So much suck

    I leave you guys for a few weeks and look what happens!

    hero of canada??

    Go to CO for your Canadian needs.
  20. The debuff. Wakies are easy and I'd probably end up hitting Self Destruct anyway.
  21. Prof_Backfire

    hero of canada??

    Er, calling Reichsman the hero of Germany is like... well, calling Hitler the hero of Germany.

    I love this game

    Only one thing is left to be said:

    Go. Hunt. Kil Skuls.

    Why are the cellphones bricks? Why is some of the architecture so out of whack? It feels, at times, like we stepped into a comic from the 80s, not the 21st Century.
    One of those little things that really, really bugs me. Yeah, its somewhat trifling, but I do hope that the look becomes a bit less 'Retro' at some point in the future.
    Eh, it's a Silver Age comic book world, a bit of retro is to be expected. And I like the architecture, myself. Modern architecture sucks.
