Scarlet Shocker

She just does. Nobody knows exactly how she does it. How does Uri Geller bend spoons?

Clearly she's not any other kind of origin because she can only use Natural enhancements so she's been tested for Mutant genes and technology.


I once saw a tv programme about a woman who was a mathematical genius and she could actually SEE equations in the air and could follow them and manipulate them (nobody else could see them of course) but she described what she saw very well. I imagine Scarlet's quite like that, she can see or somehow sense the electricity and hurl it at her opponents or wrap it around her fists etc...

Of course this is all complete fantasy but when we have such a rich source material to draw on we can make anything work

Nice... lovely clean lines

Rawwwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrr

I'd somehow managed to miss this one

Excellent work tho

Oh yes... classy, sophsticated and a sense of menace

Perfect!

Had to wipe beer off keyboard on that one

I guess the whole "natural" thing can be distorted as much as you want when you've got so many variable powers in the game. I must admit Scarlet Shocker is a natural origin elec blaster, which at first glance sounds a bit wierd (And she can fly). But my explanation is simply this: She doesn't create electricity, she simply harnesses the latent electricity all around us, static, and through cables etc and acts as a conduit so draws it from one source and directs it at another. It works.

So when in a universe of super-beings, who's to say what is, or is not, natural?

Okay..That sounded like the mobile text like mumbo jumbo, even though were not in game, we still talk properly.

The main reason I put a Gun/Weaponry Controll set was because there are no weaponry control sets, let me break it down...

Corruptor/Blaster - Assault Rifle
Defender - Bow and arrow
Masterminds - Pistols/Assault Rifles/Bow and arrow/Pulse rifles
Scrappers - Blades Galore
Stalkers - Light blades
Tankers - Big weapons
Brutes - Big weapons
CONTROLLERS _ nothing (apart from the trick arrow for no apparent reason)
DOMINATORS - Absolute nothing

so I think we can at least squeeze this one in as a control set, Trollers and mainly Doms are left out in weapon customisation sadly.

(and word to the wise, if your new to the forum, try not to start flinging /unsigned's so soon when your inexperienced in the forum, I'm still preparing to do one after at least 200 posts)

Don't forget Soldiers get a fair bit of gun control

I don't have an intrinsic problem with additional gun sets. If it adds to the game players are not obliged to take them if they don't want to and there are plenty of superhero/comicbook references to draw from, Punisher, Wanted, Powers, Nick Fury, The Hood to name a few and I'm sure others will gladly add to this list.

Take care, have fun see you when I13 lands

Yay congrats mate Well done (again )

I run a couple of other fora, and that doesn't look like an option although I'm using pretty basic apps.

Might be nice but personally I've no real imperative to change my title which I'm pretty pleased with

I suppose they could do what they did with fire imps, recycle an old model (Monkeys), so for spider bombs just very tiny arachnobots tainted silver.

Just so you know, the bombs are fired out of the rifle and emerge from orbs to spider bots.

and I myself am glad you like my original idea, I'll try to keep them up

ok that works as an idea for an animation

[ QUOTE ]
Finally! A non-recycled idea... I think. And guess what!? I like it!

I concurr. It's a good set. I have reservations about the Tier 9 also but I do feel this would bring an additional dimension to the game.

Happy wossname

Ahem....

Yeah, tis me and yeah, still going......veerrrrrrryyy slowly!!

It's actually very, very, very, very dull, without a team and they are nigh on impossible to get on Defiant for me recently, so I log into our intrepid hero once in a while and get a bit more xp for him

Seriously, the worst part of it is not having rest, having to wait for the health and end to regen between fights is such a nightmare

But I'll get there.....one day

Well look on the bright side. You're doing better with this than I did with my undefeated challenge

could well be up for this, but looks like you've got a full team. What chance of running 2 teams?

Nice... Mr Cage I presume?

Wooo hooo it's tongiht! I'm all excited

Similar to above there's a fair bit of inspiration to be had looking at Artillery:


Howitzer

Star Shell

Shrapnel

Breech

Heavy Artillery

Ack-Ack

Flak

Fire Control

phosphorus

Rail Gun

Siege Artillery

etc

Obviously less easy to reference but a wiki should do the trick



(I did have a toon called Matilda Sherman, deleted now but guess what AT it was.)

Clearly your curse worked because they went bust Before you even cursed them.

ok I'm scared now

I was talking earlier about aviation history and Fortress is a name that's synonymous with airpower - any flight based melee toon would be good for that, Flying, Super, Hyper, Strato... etc

Other evocative aircraft names worth a variation are:

Comet (ME163 Komet)

Sabre (F86 Sabre Jet)

Tempest, Typhoon, Hurricane

Beaufighter, Mosquito

Mustang, Lightning, Thunderbolt... etc.

Pick up a version of Janes or any good WWII aircraft reference you'll find something inspiring

I've got a mind/storm 50 but honestly I hardly ever play him any more.

I'm having a lot if PVE fun with an earth/thermal, which seems like a great combo but possibly not so good for PVP

The man's clearly a wordsmith. A very twisted wordsmith I grant you.

And actually.. I'd love a retro-square robot outfit like that. Pure comicbook nostalgia from the Golden Age.

Well good luck to them.
AFAIK this is the first attempt at a modern MMO allowing player content on there servers, I loved NWN and it was my first intro to online gaming but as stated earlier Bioware wouldn't 'host' for you.
Err farming, I imagine these tools will allow you little access to spawn size, enemy lvl (min,liet etc) or spawn density, I would disagree with Val because if the rewards are lesser than 'official' missions why would anyone play them at all. But yes basically abuse is possible and highly likely!!! So what enemy don't resist my dmg type, Who does just S/L damage again, I can kill 15 freaks per 30 secs or 25 hellions for a net gain of X, If I never face a end drain enemy again do I really 'need' Stamina. The questions are endless (And no I'm not available to hire for 'custom' missions)
A lot rides on the success of this IMO (issue 13 mmmm?) this could make it City of Endless Content or just City of Min/Maxers. Who knows which way it will go but as I said earlier best of luck to them glad I'm here along for the ride

I reckon you've covered all the salient points there but I'm also highly confident that NCNC will have considered all the above and more and will have been working on this a long time to ensure that the player developed content is both immersive without being game breaking.

We've seen time and again that the new regime gives us great content without borking the game, and yet with each discussion of new content the "oh woe" cry goes up. I personally trust the Devs wholeheartedly on this and I have a real hunch that the most frequently played player-created missions will be those with the best stories and content and NOT simply those that are perceived to be about the best rewards.

I am equally confident that there will be plenty of people try and build their own version of the "Dreck" farm mission, which will fall over pretty quickly because they will be boring in comparison to the good content out there.

What would you rather do? The same damned boring mission ad-infinitum or a great arc that might not give you quite the same level of reward but a much better gaming experience?

the problem with the info you've provided so far is that it's kind of a scattergun. Predominantly ranged base toons... but it's almost impossible to tell what you actually like

I guess before I would even attempt to advise you, I'd need to know much more about what you enjoy and want from a new toon

Wow!

I mean...


wow!

I had to look at that a couple of times.
