Ah, okay, i do remember reading that one.

With the recent addition of alternate animations Dr. Groinpuncher could keep his Nutshot of Doom while others use a different animation. Power customization is one of the better post-launch additions.
i wonder if it's possible to have alternate animations use alternate sounds?

Well, blasters benefit even more than the others from damage buffs due to higher base damage and caps, and they, like any AT, can also take leadership to supply force multiplication of their own. In my opinion more than two Blasters on a team contributes more to team effectiveness than multiple Tankers or Scrappers. Controllers and Defenders still contribute the most in a team setting, but even there more than 2 of most powersets on the team tends to result in diminishing contributions, which is not true with Blaster powersets.

i resemble that pronoun. (As if there would be much doubt.)

Getting sigged for stating the obvious is rather amusing.

19 is a rather impressive minimum raid size. i've been at raids where a good chunk of it was accomplished with ~30 random players, but i would expect 19 would require a little more coordination of powerset and AT distribution.

*huh* i do not recall the Fairy Laugh rule.

Very nice.
'Master of' runs are nice, but lack the insanity i usually enjoy in normal TF runs. Still, i have a bunch who could use the badge.
....
They should add 'Divine Wind of' badges for TF's completed within a certain time and over a certain number of deaths.

Whatever you say, Castle's Alternate Account.

Instead of +tohit and +dam it acts as cover and gives a +regen and +def (all) bonus.

i would compound your disappointment, but i don't have the heart to do so right now. Blame it on the holidays and the influence of $deity. Otherwise i probably would make light of his predicament.

Free server transfers have inspired me to move some long dormant alts to servers i play more. Now things like transparent torsos and Malaise Pants have drawn allegations of hacking, so i'm slightly worried that an over-enthusiastic GM will generic some of my irreplaceable costumes, but what's the point of having them if they're not worn?

Fire/Kin Controller, Fire/Psy Dom? i mean assuming you factor in the need to survive the response so that they can continue using the AoE's. In terms of personal AoE damage, and assuming teammates providing the support/aggro control to survive the aggro generated, then Blasters can be best with the right sets. Which is still not the same as total damage contribution when on a team.

The lowest-numbered one on at the moment?
How about when someone says "Can you invite my friend, Uber Rikti?", and you type </i Uber Rikti>?

*hehehe*
*heheheheHEHEHEHEhehehehe*
*falls over*
*eeeehehehehehe*
Wait, you're serious?
*BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA...*
*gasp*

*BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA*
*passes out*

Sorry, i can't take that assertion seriously enough to give a coherent response. Read the other responses instead since i agree with them anyway.

Uh, what? Almost no Controller secondaries deal much damage, and those that do do not get the containment bonus. Controller primaries set up containment damage and deal it as well. In fact there's really no point to having the Blaster use any mez since the first Controller to attack using his primary would set up containment for subsequent attacks.

Overall your suggestion makes little to no sense. If the Controllers aren't using their primaries they won't benefit from setting up containment, and if they are there's no need for the Blaster to do so. It's a very unlikely and silly scenario where the Blaster is still only really contributing their normal damage output.

i remember the no fog period. i think i might still have some screenshots of that somewhere.

No one else wanted to go there?

Welcome back. Virtue also has regular Hami raids, it's actually pretty common to have two in a row, on both sides as well as Mothership raids. Champion also has regular raids.

No guessing was required, and i agree that even just general computer knowledge, as you mentioned, would be enough to realize how off-base the OP's statements were. 'Twas just a bit of fun and whimsy, mostly at my own expense.

Me, i'm far too ignorant of such matters, any and all matters, to make such statements myself. Except when i do, i guess.

Gosh, DA already has an Adamastor? Shock!

...So...
Yeah, even just glancing at the picture posted by the OP it was rather obvious the 'monster' was at a much higher resolution than the rest of the image.

i think i speak for everyone who posted here when i say, "You're welcome."

Because soldiers are known for their aversion to explicit or implied vulgarity.

Another game already does a charactername+account name system, and it's clunky and more than a bit ugly. There is no effective way of allowing multiple uses of the same name on the same server without doing something along the localcharactername@accountname clunkiness route or creating lots of problems for communication and team invites. Even now you can you can make 'Ultra Derivative Man1175' on a server if you feel the need without saddling the first 'Ultra Derivative Man' with a number after his name. Adding the number invisibly until it's specifically necessary is not a practical or elegant solution.

Typing '/unbind enter' should do it if i recall correctly.

Oh blah, i have no idea. i do recall that it ended up in my spam folder last closed beta and i didn't even notice it until after it had already gone to open beta. The beta forums showing up in the list would've been a big tip-off, but i have my bookmark set to take me straight to the English forums instead of the main page, so i didn't notice that either. This time i'll be keeping a closer eye out.

Amusingly, he's gone to 3 red dots in about 24 hours. i'm hoping that's from more than just this thread, but after looking at his posting history once already i'm not interested enough to look again.

Or, to quote Johnny Rotten as portrayed in Sid & Nancy: "Boring, boring, boring, boring, Sidney."

He is the best. tyrant. ever.
And he just gets better with every book.
