  3. It's just Prof. That's like calling someone 'Mr Mr Smith'.

  5. Yeah, nobody really dreads fighting Freaks, and I had a theory that they were going to become the next farming sensation after boss farms were flattened. Some good foresight from the devs for once.
  6. There's plenty of ways to get knockback protection these days, I'll look into those.
  7. There's gotta be a problem when I gotta wait til Patron pools to get a decent AoE attack.

    'Who is Jack?'

    Or just add more costume pieces.

    Y'know, that's what this game needs; more basic costume pieces, LOTS more.

    Just to let you know it is imposible to get all the badges now as there are some anniversery badges you could only could have got by playing in the games past.

    *I say set and forget as opposed to a reactionary or offendery type like Empathy or Rad.
    I dunno, you could get those anniversary badges with Candy Canes during the Winter Event.

    This might be annoying if you're trying to attack at the same time.
  11. Why just in the MA? I'd love the option to keep up with what's going on during Task Forces and regular arcs.
  12. If you could modify the parameters for your 'Leap of Faith', say going for a higher rated arc or a certain genre or level or whatever, I'd be up for this.

    There should totally be badge rewards as well.
  13. They tried swinging from what I hear, it looked stupid and was basically reskinned Flight so they scrapped it. Imagine swinging across the ocean. It's like the older Spider-man games where Spidey swang from an invisible ceiling everywhere.

    But for once I actually like a lot of your ideas. Ice and Fire Flight and such could be the result of radical customisation in the Flight power (they're working on customisation for pool powers, so I hear).

    Since Champions ripped off so much from this game, why not return the favour?

    Preposterous! It's almost as if the dev's didn't intend AE to be the farmer's headquarters, as they have repeatedly announced!

    You'd think that this game was, in fact, not meant to be played by reaching the level cap as quickly as possible, but by enjoying the content from level 1?

    What kind of crazy game would that be?!
  15. There's got to be ways to implement weather effects without causing insufferable lag. As I said, think outside the box people!

    Life time access

    Most of the people who'd be willing to pay for a lifetime subscription for this game are equally willing to continue paying the regular fee (not to mention expansions, boosters etc) until the day the servers close.

    Anyone have a Spines/Inv? Invincibility seems like it would be a lovely counter to all the AoE aggro a Spiney draws.
    Nah, mine's Shadow Capra on Justice. I figured the original name would be taken and I can't spell it anyway.

    No new contact?

    Do you have any other contacts at all?

    If not, kinda weird. I'd reccomend killing things on the streets to get to level 5 (should not take long at all) and then you can go to King's Row and get a newspaper, or to the Hollows and talk to Wincott. Although I reccomend getting a jetpack before you go anywhere near the Hollows.
  19. As soon as the marketing crew remove the knife from his neck.
  20. I'm probably going to end up spending all of next Double XP Weekend in the tailor.

    Again.

    do I need protection from those other types of attacks? i went in a mission with energy attacks i think and i got owned of course. but if i cant get it higher than 30's , im still gonna get owned.

    am I doing something wrong? were tanks only meant to awesomely tank smashing / lethal?
    Yes, you're doing something very wrong. And listening to very wrong people by the sound of it. Yes you do need exotic damage protection, many enemy groups do entirely exotic damage. And Invuln is only one tanker set, many of the other sets tank exotic damage very well, particularly the ones themed around said exotic sets.

    Invuln is a mixed mitigation set- you have some Resistance, some Defense, and a self-heal/+HP power.

  23. No offense, but the idea of 'throwing an explosive clip' as a nuke sounds kind of ridiculous to me. Why does the pulse rifle's ultimate attack have to be something improvised?

    I really doubt this'll end up being called "AR 2". They didn't call Dual Blades "Claws 2".
