I think the real issue here is the time span between the issues. I wouldn't mind destroying a small-maybe meaningless facility if content came out quicker than it does, but because imo, we have such longevity between issues, it really makes the story feel alot slower and less exciting (if that makes sense).
It's kind of like doing the respec trial. You finish the first mob in two minutes, and your team just sits there for what seems like 15 minutes intervals doing absolutely nothing. This process repeats again, and again, and again... -

I've done a mothership raid with friends yesterday, just the 5 of us (plus my second account as a vengbot on the ship, and a sixth friend who joined us at that point). Originally thought we'd barely get time to get on the ship and plant some bombs, but it turned out we sat on the ship for a good thirty minutes, defeated the GM, stood in the bowl, and so on.
I know MS raids have been done as a duo, and I don't claim what we did is any accomplishment, but regardless, doing team tasks with a much smaller number of players than the norm always feel pretty awesome to me. Another plus side is there was absolutely no lag at all, most enjoyable raid I've ever done by far. The point where it felt really cool was when someone asked on broadcast "any room on a raid team?", probably seeing the speed at which we were defeating pylons on the map and assuming a real raid was taking place (we were in RWZ 2 and except for us the zone was almost empty). -

If that's the way you spelled it in-game, I'm not entirely surprised you got it. If you got Disappear, though, that would be a shocker.

Was extremely shocked that I got Disapear for my Ill/ kin troller;Hellchaser for my stone/rad troller (I love his concept. He's a daredevil, hence the name hell chaser
); and Caged for my KM/SR scrapper. I'm sure there are more names I have that was astounded to get, like lightshade for my PB. But that's it off the topmof my head.

For a player that normally takes long leaves of absences from the game such as myself, I'd like to suggest an "On Vacation" feature to be added to Supergroups. My reasoning for this is because, as I mentioned due to college studies and what not, I often find myself offline for several weeks at a time and when days begin to accumulate it really looks bad for newcomers of my SG to see a high ranking officer offline for up to 30 days. Normally, one could just suggest kicking the officer and simply re-inviting them once they return, but the drawback to that is I lose all the prestige I earned for the SG; which is really important to me as it makes me feel as if I've really contributed to our success.
The On Vacation item would replace the number of days online item and can only be instituted by talking to the SG leader and having him/her approve of the change (that way not everyone can just go offline for days and call themselves on vacation).
Any thoughts on this? -
Castle always had cereal with his breakfast, which is part of a perfectly balanced meal.
Sister Psyche aced all of her tests. Everyone always wondered why when little Billy wrote down "I don't know" on his answer sheet, Sister Psyche wrote on her sheet, "me either." -
Instead of a random generated map, put it in a giant Roman colliseum full of raving citizens with your heroes watching over the battles on their respective sides. Oh, and put a cool trumpet song in it before the match starts. What? I'm so not kidding about this.

Quote:Than tell me this, how is it that said fire tank can stand in a body of water WITH his shields still active? OH oh! Let's not forget the electric armor toon that steps in the water. That's just a disaster waiting to happen. Or how about epic battles taking place within office buildings with all the furniture being absolutely unphased by the battle. Oh, and my personal favorite, completing a mission, getting the next, and then viola! Your next mission is in the VERY same spot. How bizarre.Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
A natural what? Natural does not necessarily mean human. And origin itself has no particular meaning.
The point I'm trying to make here is that there are plenty of things in the game already that just looks silly or/and doesn't make any sense. Toons with weapons being the prime example of this. So using the "it looks silly" excuse is completely redundant. And no, I'm not bias; heck I couldnt care less if swinglines were implemented (sorry OP) but for goodness sake, can we please start thinking of ways how these suggestions could work INSTEAD of just why they can't. -
Uummm, are we really having this "makes no sense" argument again? Tell me something, how is it that a NATURAL tanker can generate a flaming wall around himself? Or better yet, how my DP blaster can damage a freakin KRONOS TITAN? I'm pretty damn sure that whatever that thing is made out of, it can certainly withstand pew pew bullets. I'll tell you how this is so, people have IMAGINATIONS! And even when the imagination aspect fails, you must still remember that it's a game. People come here to escape Real life limitations. Trust me, NOTHING makes more sense than a scrapper pulling his blades out of thin air.

If anything, they need to put in more universities. Why is it that SC is the only blue side place with a WW and University? It'd just be so much more convenient to add one in talos and AP. It's like having peanut butter without the jelly; ya can't have one without the other.
And while I'm on the subject, why the heck is there a University in Croatoa. Who in their right mind would wanna go to school there?? -
So are you saying that we'd be able to make a NRG Blaster with MA secondary? In terms of fun, that'd be one hell of a good time. And as for the whole people exploiting AE to farm tickets, they already do anyway. And without set bonuses on said avatar, it'd just be much tougher to do it. Anyways I like the idea, but like you said the chances of them implementing it, not so likely; especially when the Test Server still exists.

Quote:Definately, I thoroughly enjoyed that mission. However, there is one that particuarly stood out to me and it's the one with an up-coming hero (for the life of me I cant remember his name, but I know that he's a fire bender of some sortOriginally Posted by Jordan_Yen
I just wanted to point out that this mission is pure genius! Whoever wrote it deserves mad props because...
Spoilers (if you care) ...........
The idea that a young sidekick gave away all his secrets and draw dangerous trouble to himself in his social network sites is awesome! AND it's something that real teens need to learn because it's true in the real world too!
And not just teens. I happen to work in the information protection education field and I teach it to adults all the time too! People just don't "get it" that bad guys read profiles too.
Kudos Paragon Studios!) that's trying to take down Maelstrom. After I rescue him, he begins telling me just how much of an inspiration I am to him and how I was rolemodel hero. To avoid spoilers, after that mission, THAT'S when it'd hit me; I'd fallen from grace.

Quote:^THIS. Couldn't of summed it up any better myself. In fact, this is the sole reason why I decided against making my KM a regen; I was so paranoid that with regen's lack of defense AND resistance (barring SOs) that I'd be constantly killed during Concentrated Strike's animation. This also holds for the DB primary, but that's an entirely different story.Originally Posted by UberGuy
but do be mindful of long animations, which can definitely be at odds with Regen's clickiness.

Steelclaw: 1) "Well, I have recipes and I have salvage... if you have an hour or so I can hook myself up."

Steelclaw: 3) "Enhancements are for wimps who don't know what REAL heroing is..."
Him:"Are you sure that you want to do this TF then? It's gonna be really hard and you're gonna get owned alot."
Steelclaw: 1) "Get owned? Are you SURE IO set isn't a euphanism?"
Steelclaw: 2) "Owned? Allow me to provide you with your own copy of the Emancipation Proclomation."
Steelclaw: 3) "S'okay... I'm working on my debt badge anyway."
Steelclaw: 4) "Wait... Owned? Nah... I'm just planning on hanging out by the mission door anyway..."
Him:"Hmm okay, I'll let you join us, but please make sure that you don't slow us down."
Steelclaw: 1) "You have a Granite Tank in the group and you're worried about ME slowing us down?"
Steelclaw: 2) "Oh sure, sure... no problem... ummm... The ITF is that one Positron gives out right? Should I meet you in Steel Canyon?"
Steelclaw: 3) "Oh thank goodness! The last team that let me join forced me to have dirty rp with the guy holding the star. It wouldn't have been so bad if they hadn't kept passing the darned thing around."
Granite: SB Plz (team chat)
Leader: Please don't forget to SB him!
Steelclaw: 1) "If he doesn't stop complaining SB gonna stand for Smacka B**ch..."
Steelclaw: 2) "Don't look at me... YOU hired him."
Steelclaw: 3) "I'm sorry... you see... I don't have IO's slotted... so my SB recharge takes foreeeeeeeeeeever."
Leader: But you didn't have him. A good kin is always aware when SB is fading
Steelclaw: 1) "When exactly did I say I was a good kin?"
Steelclaw: 2) "Excuse me, but I'm an ILLUSION/Kin... any goodness on my part is a figment of your imagination."
Steelclaw: 3) "Oh come on... you can't tell me that you don't find it funny as heck when he runs in place and only inches forward like that..."
Steelclaw: 4) "And ruin my entertainment?! Heck no! Beg for my SB... BEG FOR IT!! Who's your daddy... who's your daaaaaaddy?!"
Leader: What are you doing!? Why'd you summon them? Now she's gonna heal off of them
Steelclaw: 1) "I didn't summon them! Okay... who the heck summoned the store manequins?! Come on... own up!"
Steelclaw: 2) "Yes, but since they're illusory the damage she heals won't be real... it's genius!"
Steelclaw: 3) "Huh? Oh PA stands for Phantom Army... sorry, I thought it stood for Public Announcement... I was going to inform everyone not to summon pets since she'd just heal off of them."
Leader: You're phantom army!
Steelclaw: 1) "Wait... you can SEE them? The guy who sold me this power said they were PHANTOMS... what a rip off!"
Steelclaw: 2) "Wow... I bet Masterminds must really love you..."
Steelclaw: 3) "Hey... you're one of those time-travelling team leaders aren't you? You know... the one who travel backwards in time so they think the proper way to manage a team is to warn people what not to do AFTER they've already done it."
Leader: Yes she can, I've seen it before!
Steelclaw: 1) "And I've seen intelligent and effective leadership before... doesn't mean it's ALWAYS true."
Steelclaw: 2) "Really? Then do you see the gremlins too? Please tell me you do... they've been stealing my left socks."
Steelclaw: 3) "Well huh... I have an idea... why don't we just sit here and watch her and see if she is able to heal off them? We can even make a wager about it... just to warn you though... if I win my winnings are going to involve your mouth and some duct tape."
Leader: Yes really, now please unsummon them.
Steelclaw: 1) "I can't unsummon a summoned pet without the Kick option... pass me star so I can get rid of that troublesome team member for us..."
Steelclaw: 2) "You know... you really put the Task in Task Force... and I don't say that about just anyone."
Steelclaw: 3) "Sorry... I can't just this moment... I have to SB the tank." -
I'm normally not the type to start a thread but as of the events last night, I felt the need make this one. I figured someone had to be able to relate to this, so here goes. I'd just been recruited to start an STF last night. Things were going smoothly until right before we began the leader says to me...
Him:"You don't have any IO sets on you?"
Me: "No, just SOs atm"
Him:"Are you sure that you want to do this TF then? It's gonna be really hard and you're gonna get owned alot."
Me: "Umm, I'll be just fine."
And he actually had to nerve to say this to me
Him:"Hmm okay, I'll let you join us, but please make sure that you don't slow us down."
I could MAYBE understand where he was coming from if I were the lead tank for the TF, but I was a freaking Ill/Kin!
Oh, it gets worse. Because I didn't have my SOs, the guy felt the need to "coach" me throughout the TF. When I'd forgotten to give the Granite tank his daily dosage of SB, he sends me a tell saying...
Granite: SB Plz (team chat)
Leader: Please don't forget to SB him!
Me: Dont worry I got him
Leader: But you didn't have him. A good kin is always aware when SB is fading
Me: Umm, okay.
Don't worry, it gets better
We're fighting Ghost Widow and the tank is advised to stay in melee range with her while the rest of us use our ranged attack so she cant heal off of us. I then decide to let loose my PA to help get more damage in on her. His response
Leader: What are you doing!? Why'd you summon them? Now she's gonna heal off of them
Me: Huh?
Leader: You're phantom army!
Me: They're decoys. She can't heal off of them so it doesn't matter
Leader: Yes she can, I've seen it before!
Me: Oh really?
Leader: Yes really, now please unsummon them.
Me: Alright, if you say so.
Fortunately, we managed to beat the TF in a little over an hour, but MAN did I want to just cyberslap that guy. "Sigh" Anyways, am I the only whose had to deal with players like this? If not than please share your story. -
Sure, if its an alternate animation I don't see any problem with it. And like you said, the animation is already there.

Personally, I like superstrength the way it is. Nothing feels more 'super' that footstomping (or in my case, groundpunching) the floor causing the 12 or so baddies around me to fall on their arses. There was a suggestion made by someone a while ago suggesting that the set recieve a "Wham!" "Pow!" balloon appear on screen under certain conditions when punching someone. That suggestion was made a long time ago, so I'm guessing it won't likely be occuring. 'shrugs"
I do however like your debree and dust floating across the ground. That'll definately spruce up the set some. As for hurl and handclap, I never take them anyways, so do with them what you want.

Seriously, all the guy is asking for is to be able to know which specific salvage can obtained through a TF ala description; without having to break immersion from the game. There are maybe what? 1-2 TFs implemented with every update, and if taking the time to type two words under a description (Imperious Taskforce; Statesman Taskforce) is too bothersome than by goodness I don't even want to know what's considered difficult.

You've got my attention...
-
That's nothing. The game freezes on me as soon as I log in! It's crazy. It happens 9 out of 10 times which means I havent been able to play much lately. And on that one occasion when it doesn''t freeze immeidately, it ends up doing it anyway around an hour or two in. "Sigh"
Someone please tell me that a patch is coming sometime soon. -
I get the feeling that the OP is referring to stuff along the lines of Sally in Croatoa. Something you wouldn't neccesarily see unless you were paying attention. Sort of like little easter eggs within zones.
For example, you come across Stateman patrolling Atlas Park. You click on him, and he gives you a rare salvage/recipe and says "This'll help you keep up the good fight." Ya'know, small yet thoughtful things.
Am I correct? -
While we're at it, can we get some energy/fire wings? But I do wholeheartedly agree with the OP; a sword cackling with electricity would be pretty badass.
