Having to pay separately for Beam Gun and Street Justice despite keeping myself as a VIP member, is kind of bogus really. =/

I'm sure we'll see more about it at PAX. That's coming up soon-ish, right?

No, we found out those were from the beta and the mods deleted the links. I snagged the Time Manipulation and Beam Rifle video though before it was deleted.

In any case, we'll hopefully get some screenies of Street Justice and Beam Weapons before the weekend is up.

Quote:I kind of agree and I kind of don't. Mainly on the HP part, I agree with everything else. Because I feel a scrapper is more likely to survive Marauder's Nova fist than a stalker would.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
Well I cant say that stalkers get better resists or defense than most brutes what I can say is we have zero surviability issues unless the player in front of the keyboard is stupid. I dont know why the same folks scream about hit points over and over like its going to matter in pve. If it can kill you with stalker hp it can still kill you with scrapper hp, thats pretty much how I see it. Its not like they are going to give us Tank hp or something. What I see to be the biggest issue is damage by far. We do not do enough period. Outside of Electric Melee stalkers pretty much got screwed over at every turn on this. A huge fix would be to make AS and/or hide inherrent and give us back the powers we lost for these so that we can be on par with scrappers. In addition to that we truely need some power reordering on some sets. There are so many ways to fix stalkers its just waiting on a dev to have the guts to do it. Lastly the devs need to get rid of that crazy line of thinking that stalkers have aggro issues on teams or that stalkers have survivability problems. I think once we move back from that things might actually get looked at.
Personally the HP of a stalker should be the same as a scrapper or slightly bellow and not drastically bellow. It's what 2300 for a scrapper and 1600 for a stalker? Should be 2100 if not a little more IMO.
IMO Stalker should be right on the heals of a brute in terms of DPS under full fury. And they should have the highest base To-Hit/Accuracy of all classes. -
It does kind of blow that there's a video demonstrating all the powers for Time Manipulation and Beam Gun but no StJ
-
I don't mind the name personally, it has a defying-physics ring to it.
-
Crushing also has to do with pounds per square inch, therefore fast and hard enough pressure in an up motion would apply a crushing affect. It is a bit of a silly name though.
I'd call it Rising Uppercut or something. -
It would be a toss up between Shoryuken and Tiger Uppercut. Kind of depends what character players are more of a fan of. :P
It's not like the AT will have a ranged flame attack people can call Tiger Shot/Hadouken - unfortunately
-
StJ/X - (I'm thinking of retconning and remaking my current KM/Elec Scrapper into StJ)
Otherwise I may create a stalker to try it out on them too, Stalker being my favorite AT, and couple it with Ice Armor which is the new secondary coming to them. Energy Aura was my second pic for a secondary considering a lot of people are excited for it's revamp... so it must be a good thing riiiiiiight? -

I lookit this screenshot, and one thing leaps into my mind:
OMG I CAN PLAY LIKE SCOTT PILGRIM.
This has potential.
Ridiculously great movie. -
Quote:Stalkers should be king of melee IMO where Brutes should only surpass them under full fury. It is kind of dumb that Stalkers get only burst damage which is fine but at the same time they should be the easier to dish out damage over all since they suffer from survival.Originally Posted by BrandX
I hate that my Scrapper equivalent can do so much more than the Stalker.
Now for me, my only complaint is the damage. Outside of PvP, I really don't see why a Stalker doesn't just match Scrapper damage mods. They'd still play differently, the Stalker would just dish out more damage. -
Quote:Never had this problem. But I agree that the divide between Stalker and Scrapper needs to be shortened and the AT needs a reevaluation.Originally Posted by Arbiter_Shade
1-30 Stalkers are just great, after 30 you hit the point where AS stops taking out LT's...

Quote:I think they need to tone it up a bit. Less ragdoll and more "omgwtfboom!"Originally Posted by SevereCalamity
I didn't even see the costume. I just saw that freaking awesome uppercut that I want.
See how his legs aren't just dangling and his right fist is strait up rather than a wide-swinged hook? -
As much as I would enjoy to stop by, I will likely be only half way through my work session

Quote:While the stalker is my favorite AT I don't have billions of influence to get ratings like that therefore you cannot top a Brute's defense/res with SOs. Secondary for a stalker matters if only Smoke Bomb was viable for a panic power, yes their utilities can be very handy to get out of hard situations.Originally Posted by obscureent
They have better Defense/Resistances than most brutes, and dish out more than reasonable amounts of damage.
A lot of the complaining actually doesn't make it into the game. Maybe it's the servers but Virtue, every single Trial I've offered to join in, ones with room, have never once denied me based on my AT. A lot of the complaining seems either centered around health or the unfavorable chain for DPS that makes AS "not included".
Personally I don't see what the fuss is about. The tools are there and working properly, it's the calculations that need tweeks and what with GR making either class cross-capable - it's nearly senseless not to address some of the issues. I'm sure someone could point out a bit of the specifics with the numbers, I'm to tired to go around digging up points. I think this late in the game, the divide is a bit on the unfair side for the Stalker. -
Quote:T9 power supposedly: Crushing Uppercut -Originally Posted by Calvin-
Does anyone have pictures or a video of what this new power is going to look like or have a link to it !.?????
also for flare.... SHORYUKEN!!!!! -
Less joking more pestering devs for a complete animation set video, plskthx

Quote:Nope. Just seen the names of powers and the screen shot of a Shoryuken (Crushing Uppercut - T9) here on the forums. It's the idea I'm interested in.Originally Posted by Sole_Savior
Just curious, is there a video or something showing the animations? Or did you happen to see it at the Comic Con? If possible I'd love to see the animations
I also want to see the animations however. I'm not too excited about the AS animation at the moment and kind of wish they took the sneak attack Capt gets from Captain America Super Soldier: You tap the guy on the shoulder and swing a right hook into their face. -
Quote:While I personally love the AS mechanic, I wouldn't mind if the combo tied to AS while out of hidden made the attack instant and deal enough damage to cover the cost (that being unhidden and using AS does drastically less damage as it is). As a Finisher under AS, it should be the most devastating attack in it's arsenal and one I'd highly recommend for being the Concentrated Strikex5 of StJ.Originally Posted by Leo_G
The only way your argument might seem like a problem is if the builders give less than half a point. Other than that, it's just a matter of 'spend the animation time = get the combo lvls'. You're not missing out on any opportunities if you're just attacking and AS should qualify as attacking.
Personally I like the sounds of it all still, can't wait to try it out. It's the animations that kind of bug me. -
Hmmm wonder how it would be if they made it so the next tier TP teleported you to explored locations via the use of Explore Badges. It would be akin with Nightcrawler who stated he has to be aware of the place first before going there.

Quote:I agree with this statement. While a war room would be neat, this should be solely restricted to Test only. Unless if they wanted to do some kind of demo-large room where you are level 50 (no enhancements or improvements) and just fight dummies with the basics - that still should be restricted to the Test server.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
If you're asking for, "How does it feel when I play it to level 50," well then too bad.

I'm wondering if it's an actual hidden message where one of the devs is departing from the studio. You can theoretically have States die and him become like this symbol but that would likely mess with Emperor Marcus Cole's whole shenanigans.
