I posted this guess earlier.

Y'know, if I were to guess what he was trying to do with the idea, seeing as he failed to mention what he wanted to pair up as primaries, is that he's trying to get a blaster powerset for his melee AT'ed character.

Whereas, I kind of held off on the rocket board, because it only came in one color. My other issue is that the red looks like it's closer to pink/orange/salmon colored than fire truck red to me.

Meanwhile, I jumped on the magic carpet ride right away.

So, now that we've got these two out of the way, any chance the devs will finally look into Jetbikes?

Didn't they say that there was going to be a third path to becoming an Incarnate? Maybe it's doing things the Blue Steel way?

See, this is another reason why my vote goes for power pools, if the new AT is broken, it'll likely end up underpowered anyways. So, might as well suck it up and go for power pools from the get-go.

The whole point of power pools has always leaned toward concept. Not everything has to be "Numerically competitive".

These sets look good. Power pool it up.

Heh, that's crazy, right?

But yeah, I want to fight legit super powered characters in a comic book/superhero inspired game on a regular basis as opposed to just the "big" missions.

Yeah, I could totally see these as a standard power pool. Guns as an additional source of dps shouldn't bring as much to the table, particulary, if you already have plenty of melee attacks that do really good damage as an option.

Also, so it'd be available for every AT as an option as opposed to just APPs where the focus is typically to fill in the blanks in very specific ways on a limited subset of ATs. But, they shouldn't feel "necessary" to min-max the game, but rather to fill out the character/concept as opposed to a late game pick-up/afterthought like the APPs can be.

Save things like Samuel Tow's aforementioned Mini-gun for a Judgment slot. So that it can be as big as it needs to be to do the weapon properly. It'll be like Cryonic, only with a big freaking gun and lethal damage. Also, so we'd have one option that wasn't so blatantly "Fueled by the Well". Incarnate lore reasons can go stuff themselves.

Heck, at this point, I'd be happy to have the Circle of Thorns skirt, minus the side skirts. With a bit less detailing.

Your idea would work for me too.

I think it was a fairly common in 80s and 90s era animation. Pretty sure, Heavy Metal uses something like it. I believe He-man, Defenders of the Earth, Thundarr the Barbarian, Yu Yu Hakusho etc. all use something similar at some point. I was surprised that we didn't have it.

The other common tight outline glow is the one where the outline where it moves almost as if it's boiling similar to a lava lamp. That's probably not the best explanation.

I'd be pleased as punch, if they'd just let us have the three MM attacks for Dual Pistols as options, I'll live with the rest if I could just have those three.

While chasing presents, I found a PPD Hard Suit NPC in Peregrine, Specialist Greer, standing on the sidewalk. He's the contact for part 6.

So, I'd imagine that 6 isn't co-op. Redsiders, time to comb the gutter and everywhere else of Grandville.

Then, why are your villains building unstoppable war machines? A hero, or heroes or heroine and heroines as the case may be, brought down before the unstoppable war machine is the whole point. It's unstoppable, isn't it?

Not to put too fine a point on it, but seeing as they specifically said "Who Will Die?", I wonder if some people are missing the nuance. What if, it's not a matter of somebody killing Statesman as it is him sacrificing himself either to save somebody close to him or to save the city or even the world.

If the devs are going to put their premier hero in the guillotine, then shouldn't his death have meaning beyond just another punching bag for the players to kick around yet again, as I assume a good deal of players have had more than one opportunity to defeat Statesman in the past.

I was thinking rigging things in favor of your characters in-game by using the difficulty settings.

Okay, so do you actually do this in-game for some of your characters?

I'm all for it. I know I've fiddled with difficulty settings to give me the right feel for whatever character I'm playing, and not simply to get the most xp/time. Or to account for "planning ahead" in character.

From what I've seen of the trials, they seem like they're supposed to be rare one-off events. The problem is, that to get the required rewards to achieve whatever level of incarnate-dom you're chasing, you have to do them over and over. But, I don't think you should take that as a point against the trials themselves, but rather the system that requires them to be repeated in order to achieve power. I recognize how thin I'm splitting hairs here.

To feel godlike, feel free to correct me, as Sam appears to be saying, you'd be more "godlike" by soloing things at -1/x8.

So, you'd still be facing an army, but they're less of a threat to you personally because you now have power of a god. Which, makes sense from a certain point of view.

The Youtube video has the old animations, there's some different animations in the Ustream clip.

Well, she did say later today.

I know, it's later now. And now. And now.

Bwahahahaha!

Okay, let's assume Darrin Wade or whoever is after Statesman's power, they take that power and then what? It's just power.

To make yourself a real presence in the world, you've got to get some kind of support base in the world, a chain of islands is not looking too shabby. So, mad dash scramble to usurp Arachnos' power. Recluse dies.

Thereby, giving both heroes and villains the same sort of possible position.
