omg! too damned funny!

Can you imagine if this WAS real? We'd hear no end of "That sound effect is all wrong! In the original it wasn't FREEM ... it was clearly FREEEEEEAMN... get it right, Devs!"

You think that's bad, imagine Grandville now!!! The lag from the geometry is bad enough... but consider how many atmospheric sounds are in that place! My computer will FREEZE the moment I get close to a TV, and my screen fills up with visual sound effects!

LOL... Lord Recluse talking on those monitors to be replaced with "Blah, Blah, Blah" ... the thought just cracks me up! <<Though, I guess as actual words they'd show the words he was saying... But since it's fantasy anyway I can have him say what I want :P >>

<-- prepares to bind her sonic blast's Shout with,
/bind p "say wheeeeee-BRRAAAAAAAAaaaaaaauuUUUUUUUUMMMMMM$$powexec_name Shout"

Well, you guys didn't fool me, but the thought of playing with 3 lvl 26+ MM's all with new added animations just sent my graphics card into a fit! It's gone on strike! It refuses to let me load CoH now!

Jock.... you illustrate your scenes so effortlessly...

Your writings are almost like a soft sigh of wind across across a desert tundra - warming, uplifting, inspiring and awe-evoking.

too damned funny... who'd have thought this would be Lord Recluse's greatest weakness.

A lot of complaining goes on about controllers not being able to "control their pets" the way a MasterMind can. When you think about it, it really does make sense.

A hero asks their companions for help, and then they give what help they can using their own "mind".

A Villain gives orders, threats, ultimatums to their flunkies. A villain uses whatever power they have over their lackies to FORCE them into their will. There is no negotiation. There is no suggestions about tactics. You do it, or you suffer the consequences. Period.

And by consequences, you can bet I don't mean,

"Okay, Johnnie, sorry, but you're off the team."

I mean,

"Sir, maybe we should pull first next time to save us cannon fodder from getting killed quite so fast."

"Interesting... ****** Anyone else have any suggestions???? ?"

I am talking about power, and control over ones underlings. I don't see what is unclear about this... but if you are still confused, please meditate on the following two words: HERO ARCHETYPE

Name 1 comic book hero that operates with flunkies... Henchmen ...Goons ...Slaves ... or whatever you want to call them. Not other members of an elite force that he/she is leading through example. Those who obey out of fear, or because they are being paid, or they are being physically forced. Those whose lives exist only to serve a single mind... a MasterMind. Name me that hero, and ask your question again.

Aww... Ocho... you so sweet!

... and just for the record...

One of my SuperGroup's main objectives is to help guide newbies (not noobs) in sound game techniques. After all, we are a close-knit group that enjoys playing together, and so it is in our best interest to have people who know how to play well, and use all their powers to their full potential.

In fact oftentimes when I roll up a newbie (happens alot because I am a bit of an altoholic) I will find myself escorting a newbie through Outbreak, giving them pointers as I can.

If we build each other up, none of us will fall.

Wonderful Rant! And thank you. My first 50 was a Emp/Sonic Defender. She has presisely 3 secondary powers, one of which is an AoE Sleep. I am not proud of her. 50 Emps are a dime a dozen.

Now a good buddy of mine's 1st 50 was a Trick Arrow/Archery Defender. It was a hell of a haul what with all the RUHelar's out there, but he stuck with it, and damn, am I proud to know him. He still has to put up with it tho. Even in Hami Raids he is tossed in with Blasters and told he can only use 2 powers. They have no clue of his potential. Apparently a TA and a Dark Def wowed everyone the other night on test when the Dark Def used the TA's Oil slick to Howling Twilight. Duh! that's not a new trick! He could have done that months ago if anyone had let him!

And for the record, any AT is a defender to a point! Blasters can pull, and grab aggro off, Scrappers can single target taunt, I have recently discovered the Defender in my tank, and Trollers, not only get a defender-ish secondary, but their holds are priceless!

It took me until my Emp was about lvl 35 to finally realize that Emps really are like the maid. They are really good for cleaning up the mess afterward, but the maid will also be the first to tell you that it is best when the mess never occurs in the first place. Buffs, Debuffs, Holds, Taunts, and SOUND TACTICS prevent the mess, and most of the time, if you NEED a "healer", maybe you are doing something wrong in the first place.

Well, that's my two bits worth. Cheers!
