I do love replays and know EXACTLY how you feel in regards to the NFS speed replays, and I do love this idea, but (and there's always a but). With the rate of which things die so fast in this game, there would rarely be anything to watch. Just a giant flash of light then wham..."everything's dead already?"

Of course, solo players and smaller teams contradict this.

Like i said, i like the idea, that's just my one concern. However, a nice addition I'd like to see to your idea is the ability to view your teammates playthroughs. Meaning, if everyone splits up to look for the glowie and all of a sudden someone's health just dips all of a sudden, it'd be nice to see how it happened from their perspective.

Thanks for the feedback Exx. And yes I know, those Kinetic combats are a pain, almost as much as slotting the full set of Obliteration.
However, seeing as how that is the case, I went with the Mako's - their full set really compliments WP in regards that it gives you a nice Health increase.

One more thing, is this your build EX or did you work it out in Mid's? If it is yours, how does it run?

Hey all, I currently have a EM/WP brute sitting at roughly 26% defense to melee attacks, and 25% to s/l. Is this a good setup for a WP? As it stands, I can run a mission full of freaks on a +2/8 difficulty with no issue, but still I cant decide if it was the best decision in regards to getting the most out of /WP.

Has anyone had any other experiences with WP and more specifically, EM/WP in particular? Im interested in seeing others take on the set but there arent any WP guides for brutes (none that I can find anyways). As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thankyou...

On my IO'd (no purps) EM/WP brute, I tend to run +2/8 with bosses; same goes for my Elec/SD brute. I found myself a nice map full of freaks that I tear throogh on slow days. Ahh Good times...

So are you saying that I can now rockout? /signed!!

P.S. Shun the negative feedback of gliding on a guitar, if possible for the devs to do it, than by all means, do it! Like you said, it'd be apart of a booster pack, meaning it'd cost money.

*Begins to shake head very violently*

I really like the idea. Honestly though, Im not too crazy about the added fire, cold, dark, etc etc, damage.
If it were solely for cosmetics, I believe there's a definate chance we'd get it, and in near future as well, but as for what you're asking...well, I have seen miracles happen.

*Looks at Power Customization*

Scythes for a tanker would be like dual pistols for blasters in terms of
"Where have you been all my life!?"

On a more serious note, just because something is difficult to code doesn't mean it should be given up on (i.e. Power Customization). Anything worth having is always going to take time to figure out, sure it may take longer to figure out than others, but that's what seperates it from others.

I'm sure we all want Scythes in the game, and as many have said, it's hard to figure, but dammit it'll be worth it.

The best way I can see in replacing debt is just losing influence. Thematically, it fits the whole hero/villain theme anyway; whose gonna look up to a hero that gets his butt kicked all the time, and whose gonna fear a villain that does the same.

Losing influence would definately make players think twice, how much Im not gonna even bargain on. And if you dont like the idea of losing influence, than my job is done. =P

Ehh, some of your examples fall more on the annoying side than the interesting side; but I like where this thread is going. How about enemies with "Honor" attitudes - meaning, they attack strongest person on the team 1st, and if everyone is the same lvl, they go after the tanks etc....Could see warriors having this code. Even enemies with the exact opposite of the above mentioned code would different, gives a new meaning to "protect the squishies."

There could even be foes that like to flank you.

That's all I have off the top of my head. But yeah more enemy variety is always nice.

The idea of this is to give players an easier alternative to buy recipes, without having to deal with the over-inflation in the markets. As of now, merits are only given by Monsters, completing arcs and TFs/trials, but why not regular missions. If they were to be given in regular (non-ae, non-ouroboros) missions, than the desire for teaming may rise up once again. The point is, running contact arcs does give you merits, but not the players that helped you, it's ultimately not fair, and while you can solo most arcs, where's the fun in that? This way, anyone that was on the mission long enough to recieve the end xp/influ bonus, will also recieve a couple merits.

To keep things from getting to out of hand, as in, people farming "rescue" or "steal/retrieve" missions that can easily be stealthed through, a scaling system would be implemented; meaning the more demanding the mission is, the more merits you recieve, i.e. "Defeat Alls" would give more merits than "Retrieve X." What would also be nice is, the more baddies you defeat in your mission, the more merits you'll recieve until you reach the mission merits cap (MMC) which would be approximately 10.

The idea of this post is the increase the flow of merits in CoX, because looking at WWs and the BM, it's just ridiculous, seriously, 500mil for ONE good(emphasize on one) recipe? I understand that good IOs are supposed to be expensive, but that is far out've reach for most casual gamers, and unless you AE alot or get really lucky with a drop, you're going to be saving up for a very long time.

Ultimately, this idea does not hurt AE farmers, it instead gives them a better alternative, as well as everyone else. One may say, well, what happens when I run out of missions to do since paper missions dont give any merits? Simple, go join/form a mission team and run another's arc; because in the end, that's the goal of this idea.

Thoughts and Comments?

The idea of this post is to give level 50s the satisfaction of leveling up without actually leveling up. How it works is that once you achieve level 50, an adrenaline surge feature is unlocked on your hero/villain; meaning, as you defeat x amount of enemies, an adrenaline bar fills, and when it does, your level 50 once again experiences the sparkling "ding " animation and instead of recieving the level up and the 5 tier 3 inspirations, they just recieve the inspirations.

Also, the adrenaline bar should be non visible in order to give it the actual "adrenaline surge" feel - with that in mind, you wont know when it'll happen, it just will. If you're like me, than you miss the feeling of "dinging," becoming instantly stronger, and overcoming odds you previously had difficult with. I think this feature will be a nice addition, simply because when it does happen, how can you not smile?

Was hoping that they'd put a superman oriented emote in there. Where a phonebooth surounds your hero and then they step out with their new digs.
