  1. Just for the record too, with the changes to blaster secondaries and snipes coming Devices went from being one of the worst to arguably the best secondary for blasters. So I wouldnt be so hard on yourselves.

    If your set has a decent snipe then seriously consider /Devices.
  2. *cough cough*

    I would wait and see IF a new blaster secondary was coming out.

    *nudge nudge*

    IF one were to come out I'll bet it would be really cool and work well with Beam.

    *Looks at OP awkwardly*

    Yep, it sure would be neat IF a new blaster secondary was in the near future
  3. Well the guy who did Chronicle is doing the Venom movie apparently, and they have been in talks of tieing the two movies together and then doing a duo movie at some point. It could be awesome or really really really horrible if they do it wrong.

    I want a Venom movie so bad but boy oh boy is there a massive chance of it being terribad.

    This is truth right here.


    Im sure this has been discussed more than anything else in terms of blasters but honestly they need to get around to that AT revamp they used to talk about. SURE it will go against the castle rule but lets face it, blaster secondaries are complete garbage. Ive been playing my fire blaster since beta and all it took for me to realize how inferior he was compared to my other toons was for me to play them. Its rediculous. Incarnate powers only made it that much worse.

    Nukes need revamped, snipes need revamped, and the secondaries themselves need a MAJOR overhaul. We arent the best at our job anymore. ANYONE can deal nearly the same DPS as us.

    Hybrid Options??

    Has anyone play tested enough to give me a little assistance? The main issue im running into is on my main a widow. Shes already softcapped to all positions so defense is not an issue. She has idomitable will so I have no need for status protection of any kind.

    Here is my issue. Usually its a toss up between one or two choices but im clueless right now. I have the 45% dmg alpha, the max regen destiny, reactive and rulalu pets. Im pretty much a dmg machine with pretty good survival. I can easily solo max difficulty even in DA, I have soloed the ITF etc. Shes a beast.

    Im looking at the hybrid options and the only thing im struggling with is that I have just enough end reduction and recovery to not have to worry about it, but if I add even one more toggle I will run into end issues. So basically im left with two choices. Change my alpha and go for more end reduc or agility. OR take a non-toggle Hybrid power and just be happy with whatever benifits I get from it.

    Im guessing the double strike branch of Assault is probably the most managable choice and with as hard as I hit its probably a really nice add on, but I keep thinking that just going straight damage all the time is going to come back to bite me eventually down the incarnate path.

    My other toons are so easy to pick for cause they have glaring holes that I use the incarnate powers to fill in. For example Im taking some control options on my blaster so he can have a little more dominance over tricky situations that require a little more finess than the mass chaos he usually rains down.

    My widow is always tricky though. She does so much thats its hard to choose what she should focus on, and being my main im always torn on what the best option is. Anyone have any imput on either my situation or maybe what youve been doing with your widow?

    No wrong answers here just bouncing ideas around.

    I would but they don't fit my theme. The only ones that do are Mind and Soul. Soul doesn't offer the defense I need, hence my Psy choice.
  7. Im building for ranged defence, damage, and recharge. I might drop some more purples as I go but this is what im aiming for at first. Thanks in advance.

    quite frankly the reason people think I don't like a lot of things is because I am critical of things and people take being critical as not liking, even though that is completely wrong and incongruent with reality. Those who like things the most want that thing to be the best it can be and can see the most flaws.

    See where as most people give a suggestion as in "here's my answer to a problem i see" I state the problem and give my suggestion or why it's a problem and that way people can see where the problem is and have a better discussion about how to fix it. It sounds positive, but in practice it comes off as negative and more often than not is met with "if you don't like it don't x it" or similar.

    Not to mention, the whole fact that my typing/speaking habits send out a lot subconscious triggers that make people believe i'm be devious, or lying, or other projected negativity that isn't really there.

    And honestly more often than not it's not a matter of like or dislike but rather a matter of disappointment and how much wasted potential i see and it's only when I stop and think about it mostly...when I'm reading, watching, etc I probably enjoy things a lot more than most people and enjoy more things... I mean I regularly watch those what people call "****** made for tv disney movies" and love them so meh ^.^
    Fair enough.

    Pretty sure. I would be willing to bet that 90% of the threads Ive read have had atleast one post from you replying about something somebody else in a way that clearly invokes your dislike of said thing lol.

    Sometimes I wonder why you even read the topic to begin with lol.

    (please dont read this as being argumentative lol im just curious to why you read about things you dont like and then reply about them negatively to people who DO like said things )

With these movies i'll rift about it just as much and even i think its too nitpicky, but my brain doesn't care and neither does my mouth and it will just keep going and pointing out how this or that doesn't work with vampire and werewolf lore...

    But........... you dont like anything......... EVER.
  12. The 3D was worthless just like 90% of the other 3D movies ever made. Im so sick of it MAKE IT GO AWAY!
  13. Not as bad as the prequel but alot less enjoyable than 1 and 2 IMHO.


    SPOILERS BELOW!









































    No Scott Speedman/Micheal Corvin = EPIC FAIL, almost 100% killed my ability to like this movie. They left it open for him to be in the next one but Speedman has said they havent talked to him at all so im sure they will F it up.

    Underworld...... I am disapoint.
  14. A little part of me hates these movies. NOT because they arent fun cause they kinda are, but because as long as they keep making money they will never stop and that means we will probably never get REAL resident evil movies.

    Retool the Nukes

    I dont take Nukes with crashes. My main is a Fire/Fire/Scorp and the only reason he takes inferno is because he has one extra power choice after his build is finished and uses it as part of a costume change bind.

    Yep nukes pretty much suck as bad as our outdated and silly secondaries.
  16. For the most part I guess....... my "main" that im most well known for is probably always going to be Psynder since not only was he my first toon ever but also the name ive posted under since beta AND my badge toon. However I have a VERY soft spot for my night widow "Knight Widow" and she easily takes up most of my play time. Shes may not be my "main" but she is easily my fave.

    Funny too cause my main is a blaster and my best fave toon is a widow but my fave AT is dominators .... go figure.

    Yep tried that too. Even it doesnt work. Ive also checked to make sure nothing else is on auto. Just found that my Destiny Power likes to lock up from time to time too now....... ill get to that issue after I fix my hasten problem though as its far my annoying.
  19. I have been having this issue on and off for over 2 months now. When I log on to my main (LVL 53 SOA/nightwidow Knight Widow) I am unable to auto any of my powers, and specifically the issue is that I have hasten on auto at all times. When I log on my hasten is no longer on auto and I am unable to auto it or any other power.

    I can auto powers on every other character on my account. I have done the following to attempt a remedy to this issue.

    1) restarted the game.
    2) ran repair on the game
    3) unslotted and reslotted all my powers
    4) performed a respec
    5) completely uninstalled and reinstalled the game.
    6) I have petition customer service several times.

    The third time I petitioned I recieved an in game tell saying it should now work, and it did......... for 3 days. Then it was back to the same issue.

    I once again petitioned about it and recieved an email basically talking to me like im a noob or an idiot, saying that there was no way it couldnt be working and that I should hold control and click the power and that should do it.

    I clearly knew this or how would I know that I could no longer auto my powers. I responded nicely and said all the things that I have tried. To which I received another response saying that there are no known issues and they were testing it on a brute and could not replicate the issue.

    Ok so why test it on a brute? Why not at the very least test it on a widow? Also just because its not a known issue doesnt mean that im still not having it. It is VERY frustrating to not be able to auto a power that my whole build hinges apon working properly.

    Is there any way I can get this tested? Before the game went free to play things like this were always handled very quickly and with tact and respect. I hate the way petitions are now handled did we suddenly outsource our customer service???

    Also, recluse has always maintained a balancing relationship with states, while neither one really has done much in lore for a very long time, both are kind of the silent figureheads of their respective sides, now with states gone, does that mean recluse diminishes because his parity with states was what justified him, or do they try to make him more aggressive to make the newly "in charge" heroes have something to do. We have been pretty much told that the next big arc is the battallion, so recluse would be getting side burnered pretty fast anyhow. so is the other option that recluse is going to die as well, maybe even be killed by states in a final act?
    I honestly think hes going to play a bigger part than they are letting on. Either in this story arc or the next. My guess is by the time the war with Battalion reaches its peak, both Recluse and Emperor Cole will be fighting along side us. Recluse reminds me of Magneto in that way.
  21. I like it. Just saying. Commander Taylor reminds me of my grandfather.
