and to be fair, maelstrom IS a part of the world.

Tails are animated the same way tails are and it is in i17, animated hair may never come...a CoH2 however...

;D I /never/ left the game.

D: when did I say the build had to be able survive very well? This is ment to be a dive into maxing out the DPS potential of a Dark/Dark. Nothing more really. at the moment my only big weakness in this build is in fact endo, with what I got now I can recharge all my debuffs so quickly that lacking Defenses is a non-issue as long as I can clear the alpha strike, which is fairly easy.

The chain im running into is FS->Tar->Dark pit->TT->NF->spam Darkblast/gloom on bosses->FS->Tar->... Its rather effective but the end costs are horrendous.

A few issues back they added a 6th rank that can only be held by one person at a time. As far as support and the game engine cares the person holding that rank is the owner.

>_> ...I dunno. Depends on the teams preference. The point I was trying to make was if they make new AT's that do multiple roles that the existing AT's do the old classes will fall into disuse.

Comparing a expansion for a game with millions of subscribers to please/having the budget and development capacity with a relatively small team and modest subsciption base is not really..reasonable..I don't know what word would better describe this.

You are right about how the existing AT's will overlap roles as is, however adding more AT's will only make this worse, especially if you create a AT with the ability to do roles that were once exclusive to melee or Ranged ATs. People favor the generalist over the specialist, and if you allow someone to do multiple roles effectively that were once only done or are done the best by a class that does only does that particular task very well and little else they will drift tword the less effective but has a wider range of use.

A pretty good example of this in game right now is Controllers and defenders, while defenders are by far the better buffers/debuffers they have a secondary that does only modest damage and little else.
Controllers primary purpose is..control and in some case the control set has the ability to inflict signifigant damage, their secondary is buffing/debuff, their effectiveness in doing that task may not be as great as defenders but its still good enough to be of considerable use.

When looked at by a player or team you are considering how many different tasks that person can commit to and when you compare a Defender which most of the time can only do a single task ((support)) effectively vs a controller who potentially can take a role as major damage dealor/Group control along with effective buffing capabilities you will see the majority going with the controller who can do more while taking up less time/space.

-I knew that much, however in order to be even marketed as a separate game it needed its own classes to play, this is not the situation with GR.

;D we can't be absolutely certain of whether the entire universe will just up and explode in the next moment but not blowing up is probably the most likely event.

;D Since when couldn't we make scrappers like tankers? Or anything else for that matter...

Now back OT...

While we know you can make a neutral hero/villain, I don't believe we know for certain if you can just make a Hero-Corrupter or villain-blaster straight out or if you need to go through the morality system/Praetoria.

I don't believe they will rename any of the AT's or have some pseudo archetype, that will in itself cause confusion. Honestly the morality associated to the name of the class does not matter, that is subjective.
What does matter is players having a clear understanding of what the class does.

I think you pretty much nailed it, with GR its not so much about "where you're from" but "What you do".

My source is being at herocon during one of the post-panel QA sessions, this was asked multiple times and answered multiple times with "No."
Going rogue is just a expansion, unlike CoV which was a game ment to be played either with or without its heroes counterpart, there is simply no need to add new AT's and if they did I imagine it would push back the release of GR considerably.

Also IMO all those concepts you listed would be stepping on the toes of the already existing ATs, pretty much all of them would lead to less diverse teams. Just my opinion however.

The answer is no, there will be no new AT's introduced with going rogue. What will be new is the Demon summoning and Duel pistols sets, anything else set wise will be poliferated power sets and there is no promise that will happen.

Just like the ripple effect on some fire shields/water does not work on all card ;P.
Add motion blur plox.

Being that I attended the con and it was asked about, it was a ATI rig. I ask about the compatibilities and they stated all the little visual problems that exist when using ATI cards have been fixed. As I said earlier they are just working themselves out of a hardware hole they dug for themselves.

I don't believe AMD/ATI is the "Official" graphics partner, as there was a rather awesome nvidia booth at herocon. What I believe is going on is there less exclusive focus exclusively on nvidia in order to achieve a higher overall compatibility and open themselves up to a larger hardware audience.


I personally <3 nvidia. Nothing against ATI or anything...I just like blue to red....and Ironicly Red to blue.
