Seems like Inventions would be a contributor to this homogenization of characters as well.

Actually, Devs hate all players. It's in the job description.

At the bottom of the page there should be a skin selector. If you set it from Hero to Villain it should fix your problem (just tested). There is an odd formatting issue that's popped up with the Hero skin, which apparently affected those sections even worse than threads themselves.

Indeed. Generally speaking, all knockback goes directly away from the user. The only time it's "radial", therefore, is when the user is standing in the middle of the group of enemies. (I say "generally" because I'm not sure if powers that put down pet/pseudopet patches that cause knockback (Ice Patches, Oil Slicks, etc.) originate the knockback from the pet or the player, and for the most part those powers use low mag knockback (aka knockdown) anyway so it's largely moot.)

And if the user is hovering directly above the enemies, knockback essentially becomes knockdown (perhaps even a better knockdown, as I think the higher mag incapacitates the enemies slightly longer).

Personally, I still want a set based around Knockup. Or at least with an AoE Knockup power (if only Gravity Control had one).

Because I'm stupid and should let someone else drive my browser when I've been up all night. Forgot the crucial step of changing the forum skin to villain in the options before applying the Zombie Skin.

I wouldn't buy the Rocket Board anyway. To me it is far less desirable than any of the regular travel powers simply because it shuts of all your powers.

Those statements, as you've put them, do not contradict each other. Min-maxers don't necessarily like powerful tools. For instance, Detention Field is a powerful mitigation tool that min-maxers might hate.

So I didn't truly have altism until they gave us more than 30 slots?

On topic: I'd personally be all for adding more choices to existing powers at various tiers. Though they might be compelled to make the choices at each tier mutually exclusive.

And those would be the players looking to take Maneuvers over Combat Jumping simply because of the %1 or so difference in Defense bonus, right?

I mean, if looks were more important than numbers, a player wouldn't need to take or run either power. But if looks are secondary to numbers a player might find themselves choosing the 'lesser of two evils' appearance-wise to grasp at the tiny bonus.

For my part, I find that of the two Combat Jumping offers the best bang for the Endurance buck anyway. It gives a nearly the same (or better) Defense bonus as well as Immobilize protection and greater maneuverability. I'll generally only look at Maneuvers if I'm trying to stack Team Defense.

Ditto. I like bananas, but artificial banana flavouring (such as one finds in the aforementioned Laffy Taffy) is an abomination.

Wouldn't Power Boost take it up over 50?

When are Tankers getting Katana?

It's somewhere between 18-22 for me... BUT that depends on getting on a decent-sized team that's moving along pretty good. And I can't queue up for random teaming. Thus, when the invites aren't forthcoming and I get sick of soloing I queue up. Unfortunately, there's very little available pre-50 at this point in time to queue up for.

Ditto.

Looks like that's only for Firefox.

I, for one, was possibly more mature twenty-ish years ago than I am today.

I would probably play that.

Don't you mean Magenta rather than Red? And in any case, aren't they sometimes referred to as Process Red, Process Yellow, and Process Blue? Neither of which is particularly relevant to the typical RGB method used in displays, which, IIRC, is an additive method as compared to the subtractive method typically used in printing (well, inkjet anyway, I can't vouch for any processes beyond that).

Absolutely flesh coloured is not absolutely nude in such a way that violates a T for Teen rating. The absence of certain details sees to that. Which is to say it does not qualify as the 'graphic nudity' that requires a higher rating.

In other news, a reptilian character can wear nothing but their skin if they so choose. No masks, no clothing.
