Substrate

Make it a police call box then
or a port-a-potty
or a Photo both
or any other box like object.... heck add a few and make it random which one pops like how alakzam works now.

As someone that has more then one mytho related character totally this.

But honestly for the most part I just ignore it unless it some how effects the RP that is currently going on. If it does effect the current RP (like I crashed or something) it really depends on the character but usually it just some variant oh "Oh sorry I was just distracted."

I find in forum games such as these it is more amusing to see if anyone can place the quote in the first place.

Bit of advice no. 24601; Forum games are not to be taken seriously.

Yes I have a WP/DB tank that is vary much the action hero. I did not take any travel powers for him and have the WP effects turned off. Hes really fun to play too and yes Ninja run was a nice thing to come along for him but it something I only really use for zone crossing. Oddly dropping the travel power has actually made him better then my other WP toon. Picked up stamina sooner then needed becuase of it and frees up two power slots for wiggle room on the build (don't have city traveler yet).

Well yes that would be part of the idea for the characters. Johnson Supa Troll is more a for fun character hes from Mistkontic University after all. His draw back is hes lost most of his magic skills do to well dyne messing his head up. And while not an addict he does suffer from rage issues. But hes over all fun. Clarence Arkdine III my psychic troll has the whole ex-addict thing going for him and struggles to find 'a safer dyne' which we all know is going to be doomed to failure but that is why I like him hes a flawed character that is interesting to play.

They see me Trolling... they be hating.

I do like how you linked to the vary same page I do in my post. Yes I know all this already I even say in my post that yes superadine is bad bad stuff. The question is more about the shade of gray around the use of similar power granting methods used often in hero origins.

Vary vary true. It is really hard to do but I've seen a few in the wild that have been pretty close. I do have to admit I did have a petless mastermind for awhile that was harsh to play but sort of fun mostly just did solo missions with him.

This is something I would love to see. I would like options like selectable weaknesses and the such. Maybe with a vary small perk for doing so. But I don't think the devs will ever invest time in such since it would be something only a small number of players would opt for.

You now I never had a issue with a lack of travel powers on the few guys I build without them. Sure it can be a pain in some zones but it is usually something i can work around.

My Grav/Kin is almost the same. She is supposed to be a gravity based hero so most of the kin powers don't gel well. They could be shoehorned in theme wise but at the end of the day I like her how she is now and she still works fine with out SB and other 'most have' powers from Kin.

This is pretty much how most of my characters are built. I'll brake out MIDs and do a rough 'will this work' sort of build. That honesty is a lot of fun coming out with an odd concept and then seeing if it is possible with stock powers. Thanks to power customization this has become even easier.


I have to agree I find when you dual build one theme one team you tend to end up having a really well built theme build and a so so team build. At early levels its not a big deal but I find 30+ the team build end up being less effective then my theme build that has a lot more work on its slotting. Sure you could dump the cash into making to sweet sweet builds but since I will spend most of my time playing in theme mode Ive just stopped using dual builds on most of my characters.

Most of the time it is not an imagination issue. Most times it is just a simple personal choice that one or more powers do not fit into your theme as you see it. Sure you can shoehorn anything into a theme that does not mean you want to or even should.

Thanks for all the replies this has turned out to be a fun read guys.

I've played a lot of blasters/defenders/corrupters before and never really missed having them. So I don't think I would call them essential. But still I'll give it a shot the question was more are two worth it more then anything else.

True ... Just trying to give the OP a chance so it does not seem like we are hijacking there idea is all.

Cats and to a greater degree nekos are inherently evil.... but it a fun way. ;p

True... But the flip side to this is since we still have yet to see the OP in a wail we come to the other problem that plague static teams. Getting together at the same time. The larger the number of people that more problematic it becomes. (large SGs aside where the large number actully make it easier for people to get together)

Me, Premonitions, and Paradigm_Shift seem to run around the same sort of schedule but I have yet to bump into any of the other five.

I have no problem sitting at lvl 4 until we get everyone together but unless we have some sort of hard schedule once the team has been collected and started off I can see myself losing interest *looks at this nearly full character list* trust me I've been here before with other statics. Usually they start strong everyone gets started gets there ideas out and lays down the ground work. Then one of three things tend to happen. 1) no one ever can get everyone together at the same time and the static falls apart a few weeks later. 2) They can get together but it ends up being hit or miss with a weekly thing turning into a biweekly then monthly and then just slowly fading out. or 3) It works like a charm with weekly or biweekly get togethers and much fun to be had for all. Sadly the last tends to happen pretty rarely. But the more flexible groups tend to have more survivability becuase they allow for play time that can function without the whole group having to be there every time. But even they can fail by being to flexible and you end up with people at wildly different levels and then it can get into a issue of hows missions to run do you run the lower missions becuase they gel better with the RP theme and story or the higher missions which can turn into powerleveling which tend to be perty boring as the lower players do little more then follow the 50s around and chat.

I guess what the TL;DR version of this is. Need to get going soon or the fire will die and need to hammer out what the schedule and leveling policy will be.

Hurt? Not so much I've taken my redside 50 down to noob levels before for teaming. Level +5 is still above the curve being just that level. Sure pre Stam levels can take getting use to if you have become comfortable to the End flowing like water.

But it's not like anyone plans to power rush to 50.... it is just having an alt sitting idle for to long can make someone less willing to pull it out again. Characters tend to have a sort of momentum and to much down time can derail it.
