    And since the arc wasn't funny to him, he rated it three stars. What's the problem?

    This boss has the nastiest and epicly longest stun in game. *shudders*.
    The same stun is used by 1/3 of Malta's LTs.
  4. ...somebody remind me, how do I check my own reputation details?
  5. Fortunatas, yes. There's nothing there about Widows.

    No worries, no worries. Now you got me wondering myself.

    He, ah, didn't. What with being created as an AE contact. For my slowly upcoming arcs of Paradox Savior and Paradox Sacrifice.

    My mechanized Nemesis General, Brigadier Metzger:
    Is it your goal to make Metzger more awesome every time I see him?

    Anyways, canon characters? Sure, I got some.


    First up, Winterborn, who is inspired by his having a brief stint amongst the Outcasts.

    Next up, the ever popular Ouroboros.


    Starting with the Acolytes, C. and A. Falcon, straight from the midle of the 21st century AD. Candice is the ex-Warrior, while Azuka is the one with more fashion sense than love for uniform.


    Next up, their superiors, Menders Parasite (Parasite Agent, 23st century AD, right) and Zepherine (Zepherine Agent née Williams, late 19th, early 20th century AD), two of Ouroboros' most skilled archeolinguists. Also a rather successful witch and a rather failed super-soldier.


    Lastly, a blast from a AE contact future past, Mender Paradox (Paradox Agent, no relation, 2nd century After Storm).

I've tested it with with various non-weapon powers or weapon powers from completely different sets, and it seems to work out. This means that you will be able to use any power in a chain with a weapon power, and not have to redraw the weapon...even completely different weapon powers. It will just instantly appear in your hand and play the attack animation. If you're not in combat, out of range, or have no target selected...then it will play a non-rooted, interruptible version of the weapon draw animations.

    Some minor issues with consistently playing a weapon draw animation outside of combat, or the weapon draw animation playing when it really does need to...but that shouldn't interfere with combat.

    Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to get to every powerset at once, but I was able to get the following powersets done.

    • Broadsword
    • Claws
    • Dual Blades
    • Archery
    • Battleaxe
    • War Mace
    • Trick Arrow
    • Thugs Mastermind Dual Pistols
    • Robotics Mastermind Pulse Rifle
    • Arachnos Widows
    • Arachnos Soldiers
    • Patron "mace" powers
    • Munitions Ancillary Pool
    The rest will have to wait until sometime after GR:
    ...not sure if like

    but why is the ninja run and jump hight being surpressed durring combat?, ninjas are naturally that quick and all, I don't get

    but I don't get alot of PVP, like how you stay targeted nomatter the range you reach away from them, a teleporter sould not beable to be followed and hit while porting away from some one in warburg... constantly till dead

    Every travel power gets suppressed in PvP. The bug was it was accidentally set to work like SJ in PvP.
  12. Nope, must be something bugging out, Engineers are definitely in. Gotta test it m'self.

    [edit] Tested. Engies spawned properly.
  13. And just to bang my old drum...

    Can we please get Widow tails on males? I grow tired of watching my Widower's shiny buttocks.

    ....what?

    Though maybe that's not something you "just" do.
    No, his comment is that it's a two-handed weapon, and there's even a temp power that uses it as a two-handed weapon.

    The only way I can think of that they could add it in is if they suddenly decided to add Coral as an option for Stone Melee/Assault. Could work IMO, just another load of work.

    Also, the ring-pommel sword is one of the three swords that are part of the Martial Arts booster, named the Chinese Broadsword, available to Broadsword, Dual Blades, and Katana.
  15. Since you seem to like Sky Raiders, can I get a quickie?

    Eco.
    Test a local arc that grants a souvenir = get all yours wiped.

    Yes. Quite often in fact. A sonic ring, or a Dark Blast, or a Neutrino Bolt, hanging off in the air by the mob's head until its duration runs down.

    Are we talking about the arc with a whole-map-at-once ambush that was advertised by way of "I 5-starred your arc, now go 5-star mine, or I'll get my 100 friends to 0-star your arc"?
