I'm sorry I won't be joining ya'll this time. I'm traveling to see my folks that weekend. Enjoy!

I enjoy my Gravity bubbler very much. The two defining powers for me are Singularity and Wormhole, for much the same reasons as mentioned above. Here's what I like most about playing this toon:

He's at the ranged defense softcap. I cast Singularity and turn on Force Bubble. I start blasting Propel/Lift/Epic Power Blast with Gravity Distortion. I maneuver just enough to keep mobs under control, and use Wormhole and Gravity Distortion to move and hold mobs in place. NOTHING touches me. Melee is a total non-issue. An occasional ranged attack will plug me, but it's infrequent enough that it doesn't slow me at all. I can solo whole maps like this.

It's not a farming build and he doesn't kill lots of things quickly, but it's both solo and team friendly if you know how to use Wormhole well.

Agreed.

Slot it for Damage. I usually go 4 Kinetic Combat and then the other two slots with procs or pair something for bonuses. It's a great attack. My DM/SR scrapper has a ton of recharge and his attack chain consists of Midnight Grasp>Siphon Life>Repeat, or do other stuff if I get bored with mowing down stuff so quickly.

In my -albeit limited and uninformed- opinion, I think going to free-to-play is a foregone conclusion. We ARE going free-to-play. It IS going to happen. When, not if, should be our main concern. I think this because of three main reasons:

1) Old MMOs go in this direction and if we are anything, we are old.

2) COX is already quasi-free-to-play as it is with all the booster goodies. It seems to work out pretty well with this community. Look at how geeked we are over the Steampunk stuff.

3) I am speculating that free-to-play will gradually become how all MMOs are made from the get-go. Word is the new Marvel game will be free-to-play from launch. I see a future where communities of gamers are not "owned" by a game because that's where their money is, but rather play in multiple games as a community.

Just my thoughts.

At first I didn't realize there was both an entrance and an exit to the train. I stood there at the exit waiting for the train to come and it never did.

I was kinda meh, on the whole concept until I saw the trailer. Now, I must have.

My new plan with 50s is this:

1) Get Alpha to T3.
2) Open the other incarnate slots.
3) Get Destiny and Lore to T3.
4) If I have a Very Rare, I'll get whatever slot would matter most on that particular toon to T4.
5) Move on.

I figure the T4s are long-term. If they happen, great, if not, that's cool because that toon has everything it NEEDS.

I still think bubblers have their place. The incarnate buffs are too short-lived to be totally game-changing. A good bubbler who keeps his teammates bubbled is still worth what he was before, as is the icer.

I'm not trying to offend anyone here, so please forgive my query:

Am I the only one that thinks it's silly and overly self-indulgent to bemoan the loss (or alteration, or "mangling") of one's global name?

What's the big deal? It's a name. It's changeable.

I can't figure this out. If I suddenly lost either of my globals -especially when such a loss came hand-in-hand with a substantial increase in game accessibility like a ton more servers I could access- I'd pause for about a second and then enjoy the gift I was given. Seems to me that there are many many more relevant things to complain about in this game.

I assume you've read Good Omens by Gaiman AND Pratchett. The discussion has to start there. American Gods is one of my favorites, as well.

Why aren't you selling this on the market? These aren't really that expensive, are they? If I remember correctly, this one is the cheapest of the set.

Gun Drone isn't great, but I always seem to find a use for it, most often when soloing, but occasionally when teaming. The players I usually roll with move very quickly and so if I kneel down to cast Gun Drone (or bombs), by the time I'm standing up again, I'm all alone in a hallway with fading corpses. It is handy in boss battles for the extra damage. Soloing, I think I use it most to take the alpha from a mob, watch it go boom and then finish them off.
