In my opinion, role playing should not be a reason not to implement some sort of new tech.
If you would like to role play and be a hero and don't want villains, rogues or even vigilantes in your SG's base, more power to you. That's your call and I respect that.
But I don't feel that should limit me and my options.
If the ability for cross-faction SG bases is viable I would love to see that in game.
And I'm not just talking access - I mean the whole shehbang - porters, storage, buff stations, etc.
Aside from tech limitations, I see no reason why this can't happen. If it's not something that you would use, don't use it.
Anyway, that's my 2inf on the subject. I would like to see Cross-Faction SGs happen. -
It would be interesting to see how much time shaves off a Dr. Quaterfield Task Force.
And I wonder if the transports charge you extra for going to the Shadow Shard... I mean,,, with the way gas prices are these days... -

FYI, The event doesn't start until next week after Tuesday's maintenance. Just to make sure everyone's not waiting around all weekend on pins and needles
. Also, while there will be a live element to it (more to come) the event is also scripted and will run simultaneously on all servers. (We got a weeee bit burned out running live events for a month straight last year .)
And for some reason, this reminds me of:

Quote:I'm running a Staff/Energy brute at level 50 right now with the Brute +Fury ATO in the defensive staff power (I'm at work, forgot the name).Originally Posted by Naloboi
Is it possible to get full fury on a staff brute? I have a staff/elec brute with the superior ato fury proc slotted in sky splitter and i have yet to see my fury go over 85.
Is it because of staffs loldamage? as i understand slotting it the proc in a single target move with base recharge of 15sec should trigger it 100% of the time (the superior version should be in a 12sec). So i spam my sky splitter non stop and i still dont get full fury even when fighting avs.
So if anyone has a staff brute out there are you getting full fury with the ato proc and if so what move did you slot in?
Either way, I think the ATO works best in a fast recharging power rather than a combo finisher. Just my opinion though. I tested him on a +1x8 run last night and I had no problem keeping full fury.
Oh, and for what it's worth, the fury "bar" is misleading. You will never "max" out the bar unless you use the Villain Alignment Power: Frenzy. Otherwise, the bar will always be just a tad short from being full. -

1) Statesmans Pal will remain Statesmans Pal and will be given out when completing A Heros Hero, the original Maria Jenkins arc, in flashback
2) Positrons Pal will be given out when completing, A Heros Epic, the new Maria Jenkins arc
According to the Wiki:
Does the new change imply that you have to complete the entire arc to be awarded the badge(s)?Quote:Defeat Olympian Guard in the Rescue Statesman mission of Maria Jenkins's A Hero's Epic arc OR Defeat Tyrant in the Free Statesman mission from Maria Jenkins's A Hero's Hero arc
And how does that affect characters who already ran the new arc and old arc via Oro? -

If I want to fight against someone I'll play a fighting game. That's what I grew up with. That's what I like. That's what I'm used to. In fighting games, things are more or less equal and you don't have to worry about other people getting involved. (Btw, by PVPing I'm assuming you mean zone-PVP and not Arena battles).
There are times when a friend *cough* Toy *cough* will convince me to hop into Recluse's Victory for some funsies or just to hang out but that's the extent of what I'm willing to do.
I can't say whether or not pre-i13 or post-i13 PVP is better or worse but it definitely is different. I will say that I am not a fan of travel suppression and heal decay.
Balance is a tricky thing when you're dealing with so many different ATs and power sets.
And truth be told, the immature trash talking in Broadcast is a turn off. I mean, some people really take it to the extreme. I don't mind poking and prodding but some of the stuff I've seen in RV just makes me want to stay far away. Sore losers are bad. Sore winners are worse. I remember one time someone was making fun of me for bring a Fire/Kin controller in RV. I wasn't aware I needed their approval to bring a character in the zone. But I digress...
But with all that said, even if they "fixed" PVP I don't think the amount of PVPing I do would change.
As I said, if I want to fight against someone, I'll pick up a fighting game.
If I want to be a superhero and save the world, CoH is where I'm at. -
Quote:When things are not equal, you are always going to have outliers.Originally Posted by Shubbie
But people enjoy Beast Mastery,dual pistols, Electric blast, and Ice melee, it doesnt mean they are in any way shape or form good sets.
So no matter how you slice it, being that different sets perform differently (for various reasons aside from pure damage), you will always have Awesome, Somewhat Awesome, and Not Nearly Awesome - and everywhere in between.
I haven't played Staff yet so I can't say how it does compared to other melee sets.
I've done Dual Pistols (Corrupter, Defender and Blaster) and I've enjoyed them on all 3. Compared to Electric Blast, I think it does more damage. Compared to Fire, probably not but that doesn't mean it's a bad set. I guess it just depends on what you pair it with.
tl;dr
In my view, there's a difference between "Good" and "Bad" sets versus how a set performs compared to other sets.
YMMV -
Quote:If it's a standard aura there's no reason it shouldn't be loading on all accounts.Originally Posted by Benchpresser
The Gaseous Aura.. I believe it was one of the basic auras... its not showing in the Creator or the market on my Primary account.
The only auras that you wouldn't see on the list are the ones that are locked in-game.
Purchasable auras should show in the creator and give you the option to buy if you don't already have it.
Sounds like a bug to me. -

Quote:On most of my toons, Brutes especially, I generally take:Originally Posted by Drax TJ
What power pools do you find you use regularly on different ATs?
Do you stick to these sets for just certain Archetypes or for all your toons?
I try to do something different with each toon but in the end they turn out very similar.
Speed: Hasten, Super Speed
Fighting: Boxing, Tough, Weave
Leaping: Combat Jumping
Leadership: Maneuvers
I tend to slot my toons for defense, so I lean towards powers that help with that directly or by slotting/set bonuses. -

Quote:I don't mind delays either. But there are many people who do as evidenced by Staff in general. You can't manipulate time to have something that's delayed to be released on time. But you can purchase points whenever you want, and eventually get them with your VIP.Originally Posted by Psylenz
I appreciate your point. I do have paragon points; some may not. I do not mind unexpected delays as much as surprise releases outside the budget.
So it's picking the lesser of two evils.
Do they promise a release date, get delayed (for whatever reason) then deal with backlash because something's available?
Or, not give a date, release it so that it is available, and have people gripe about not having points - something that is relatively easy to fix. -
Quote:So you're saying you spent your stipend of points already with the assumption that Staff was coming later in the month in that you would have your new stipend to be able to purchase it?Originally Posted by Psylenz
It's about POINTS
Because if that's why you're upset, then I should be upset that it's being released on Tuesday, April 17th because I have to work that day and won't be home to play with the new shiny.
Paragon has no control over how we spend our points or when we spend them.
Staff is important to me so I made sure to have at least 800pts banked on both of my accounts for whenever it was released. If that meant not having to purchase something else that was release prior to Staff then so be it. I weighed my options and chose what meant more to me.
YMMV.
(For what it's worth, I'm in favor of a calendar of events/releases as I mentioned in the thread referenced above. But even with that, there's no guarantee that said items would be released on said dates due to unforeseen circumstances et al so it would still be a guideline regardless) -
Quote:Originally Posted by dugfromthearth
I agree with the OP
they should delay the release of Staff Fighting to give everyone proper notice. Cancel the release next Tuesday and give us a proper 2 weeks notice.
Staff Fighting should be delayed until the 27th so that proper procedure and etiquette is followed.
I'm tired of waiting. I want Staff Melee now dangnabbit.
Also, they did say at some point that it would be released in April. There have been plenty of threads discussing and speculating when the release date would be.
So with that...
Also, From April 3rd 2012:

No, I will not give you a specific date.
Staff is currently slated for April. That's about as specific as I can be. -
Just as long as you don't have to smack the machine on the side or tilt it forward to get your Insp.
Otherwise, great idea! -

I've noticed that happening with the AH server is out of sync with the rest of the game. I've had to either wait or re-list.
I've also seen that bug when trying to purchase items.
So yea, I'm gonna go with Sync Issue.
