    Now that's funny!

    OW! *plucks the brick from the orifice made in his forehead*

    If I'm so funny, what's with the brick-throwing issues? Or is that how you warriors great each other in your simple and barbaric language?

    But judging by your post times, you've been in a Rage for 33 hours and five minutes.

    I would suggest however that you don't buy them but pay them a salary. Lets say a 1000 prestige each month.

    Aww! I would've loved auctioning off people!

    Theres a lesson to be learned in this, One you'll learn from me, and one you'll lear from others, the fact that Dual Pistols has been frequently suggested in many ways, and I got Buried alive by 'Old News' spam and it may aswell happen to you, and if you want these spam vultures to jump all over you and picking away at your will to live, then youve made the wrong suggestion

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Thing is, this is a joke suggestion.

    So... there shall be no abuse coming from me in this thread.

    Also, I'll actually /sign this unlike the other, less thoughtful, suggestions of two gun ideas.

    EDIT: As a matter of fact, I just clicked on the joke, Jay. Alvan, you weasel!

    When Rapthorn was doing her Arc, I thought "Simple! BU + AS! Rinse and respeat!".

    Then she used Soul Storm and I was like "[censored]!". At the time, I didn't know it was a Mag 100 Hold. Had to get a Level 50 in to lay the smack down on her.

    Lusca should throw stuff like cars and dockside containers - maybe aim them at the station to encourage Heroes to get rid of her

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I have a better idea what lusca could do... with female heroes.

    [/ QUOTE ]Those tentacles aren't really of the ideal size though.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    then they need to use more force

    Wouldn't that... hurt?

    That doesn't make sense.

    Here's an idea I read a few weeks/days ago:

    Let us select from a list of Veteran Rewards instead of waiting for them.

    As In general, I would only slot lower sets if I want to exemplar much or am low on inf, but you are in no way gimped if you do slot it anyway

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Is that:

    I am not gimped if I choose to slot Triage?

    OR

    I am not gimped if I choose to slot Level 30 Doctored Wounds/Numina's Convawhatsamathingy?

  14. Yay! Good responses.

    I've only just grapsed (And still am grasping) IO Sets. I know it's simple, but it's putting the slots in the right place etc. The reason I went for the lower ones is because I am assuming that things such as Numina's Convalescence are hard to come by.

    Peronsally never understood the desire of two travel pools. But then again i don't pvp.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well in PvP mobility is everything Combination of SS/SJ/CJ/hurdle is essential to have unsupressed movement at all times.You know when you fire a power and after that cant jump around for a bit or run away. This in PvP is bad

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Thing is, you're going to hit each other anyway, so why don't you just stand toe-to-toe? Y'know, instead of looking like a pogo stick?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Its exactly to avoid toe to toe and keep range.Also mobility allows things like +regen and +recovery come into play.

    In many cases squishies need to keep moving to avoid being stationary for stalkers and blasters melee powers mainly.

    Sorry.

    I'm a PvP nooblet.

    Make all AVs and possibly GMs... immune to Taunt.

    Pure chaos! It would be so awesome!

    [/ QUOTE ]
    You really hate Blasters, don't you? GMs would just be a death sentence for them if you do this.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Another idea: Let AVs be able to nuke and/or use God Modes whenever they feel like it instead of when they're at 5% HP and the next six attacks will finish them off anyway.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Side-lining whether the AI could handle preferences without a major code re-write, I can tell you've not fought Honoree on the LGTF - it takes quite a lot more than half a dozen attacks to finish him off when he goes Unstoppable - in fact if your team doesn't have enough damage/debuffs he'll just out-regen whatever damage you manage to do while he's in it. I've seen LRSFs get ugly when Statesman and/or Positron go Unstoppable too.

    [ QUOTE ]
    Nerf Granite Armour! If you have one of these in your team, said AV is surely... dead. If you don't have a Granite Armour in your team, it's a little trickier, but more fun.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Granites (tankers & brutes) do make AVs a lot easier, but then they do pay rather large penalties in non-AV situations for that power - I think calling a nerf down on them would be somewhat unfair when most people probably play Stone Armour purely for that capability. Besides, my EM/Elec can make himself just as unkillable for 3mins against any AV with Power Surge, and adding 1min of Demonic to that and potentially opening the fight with a Luck overdose he can usually hold aggro for 5mins with impunity, which is often plenty of time to down most AVs. If you pick on Granite you pretty much have to pick on most tier9 godmodes.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't hate Blasters! I never implied that! As for GMs, I said possibly. I have done the LGTF thank you very much ( ) and never found The Honoree that much of a challenge because our team was well equipped.

    As for nerfing Granites, that might've been a... uhh... slip of the tongue. It just popped into my head and I didn't think it through.

    Well, instead of making AVs immune to Taunt, why not let healing cause aggro?

    Statesman is a pansy. Enough said.

    P.S. Positron uses Overload.
  18. Read the first few posts and my idea is:

    Make all AVs and possibly GMs... immune to Taunt.

    Pure chaos! It would be so awesome!

    Concept wise, AVs being immune to Taunt would fit. I can't really imagine Lord Recluse being Taunted by a Tanker.

    Tanker: You're mother is so fat, a whole army of Super Strength Tankers couldn't lift her.

    Lord Recluse: ... really? *yawn* Oh! A Defender! They heal you! After them!

    That said, I think CoX should take an idea from WoW. Healing causes aggro. Why? Because the enemy you're fighting is going to be pretty miffed when the target he/she is trying to kill gets healed.

    Another idea: Let AVs be able to nuke and/or use God Modes whenever they feel like it instead of when they're at 5% HP and the next six attacks will finish them off anyway.

    Nerf Granite Armour! If you have one of these in your team, said AV is surely... dead. If you don't have a Granite Armour in your team, it's a little trickier, but more fun.

    That's my two cents.

    I've noticed Americans based in Florida are too friendly.

    "Would you like a refill sir? "

    "No thank you, I'm quite alright."

    "Are you sure? "

    "No no, it's fine."

    "Are you sure? "

    "Really!"

    "I'll leave this here with you then. "

    "I don't want to be a bother!"

    "I insist! "

    Hmmm...thats why I put the blast set as 'Predictable'

    The manipulation set could be/is new, so i mainly focused on that set and tried to fit in Bullets to the theme of stoping them and attacking them without re-using any powers

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Is it just me, or have I not seen several overdone, recycled suggestions on these boards with your name attached?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Nope. Completely different person.

    Gosh, Scarlet!
  22. *sighs*

    Another Dual Pistols suggestion and made by the same person who had a go at Zortel when she apparently copied your Electric Control suggestion.

    Perhaps YOU should be the one trying to use this instead of yelling at other people when they make one suggestion. After all, you are the local "Idea Recycler".
  23. I've been messing about recently in Mids' and was wondering:

    Is it OK for a Level 50 Hero or Villain to have lower Level IO Sets?

    For example, I make a Mind Control/Empathy Controller and since Crowd Control is my speciality, I focus my slots more on my Holds. This leaves my Healing Aura, Heal Other and Absorb Pain Powers with four slots each. Would it be a bad thing, if at Level 50, I slotted them with Level 30 Triage IOs?

    Thoughts and opinions please!

    I don't know if it's been suggested, but how about monster-play as an option? So you can't level the character you control at all, but you do get to fight against the players?

    Perhaps offer progress for monster players by giving them tougher monsters/more notorious AVs to control after an amount of time or even a number of players defeated or whatnot?

    In order to give players incentive to begin this passage, perhaps offer costume piece rewards or badges (for all their regular characters) for getting up to the top AVs?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    There is, sort of, in the form of gladiator matches.

    However, I like this idea. Playing a longbow commander in Siren's Call could be fun.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    AVs though? I mean, imagine five Villain Ghost Widows using Soul Storm against the poor, unsuspecting Heroes?

    Genius. Pure genius!

    Oh no, no, no! They won't Proliferate Claws to Brutes since they've recently been nerfed to Hell and back! Nope. Not going to happen. No siree bob.
