Trickshooter

Way to go, guys!

Sonic Resonance is the least used Primary, I'd say. I've only ever seen a handful besides my own in a few years. At least half my in-game friends own a Trick Arrows Defender (but it may be more because of the stylishness associated with the bow sets), but I think only 2 or 3 own a Sonic Resonance user that isn't a Controller.

I would say Cold Domination is the next least used, and that's probably a combination of it being the newest set and that some people don't like the look of the shields (but for purely aesthetic reasons, not like the old Sonic shields).

Won't be able to make it tomorrow, going to a birthday party. Sowwy.

I was just thinking about a way to survive the BSF, and I think it might be a good tactic to like, trigger the ambushes, and then have someone TP everyone back to the entrance to fight them there until they stop. Enemies having to push through each other to get up those staircases would be a good way to avoid dying from being hit by 20 enemies at once.

Master of Imperious TF? Easy enough, I think.

Master of Reichsman TF? Probably easy, too.

Master of Reichmsn SF? >_> Is that a joke? It's not funny if it is! It can be hard enough to just finish with some teams, let alone finish with no deaths.

Went out last night, but about 10 minutes before my ride showed up, I saw the Open Beta announcement and my jaw dropped.

So, after I got back, I was up till midnight designing an Archery/TA Corruptor and a Traps Defender. Loved the Traps Def's look, but I won't be making her on Live till we get Pistols. Not sure if I really like the A/TA Corr's look yet, so I'll be messing around with it.

Tonight I'm gonna work on costumes for the Claws Brute and Broadsword Stalker that I also want to make when I16 goes Live.

And then I'm gonna be trying to thoroughly test the performance of Trick Arrows on Corruptors, because I'm not convinced it will do well, personally. I already bugged PGA's damage buff being lower than its supposed to be.

I'll be there on Trivellino (Claws/WP) again.

Despite, the annoying parts I'll probably be playing it a little. I played in the closed beta but never got above the 20s, so I want to see the higher level stuff.

The "world" is interesting, and the setting is very 70s/80s which was the best comicbook years (or so I feel, since I wasn't around for those comics and just have back issues). The updated graphics are nice, and a little effort gets rid of that cartoony look.

But I hope there will be an overhaul of their animations, because most of them are incredibly clunky (especially the archery powers).

I'll have to sit this round out, then. I have an appointment at the eye doctor tomorrow at 4:15.

Bye A_C! Have fun in school! Things won't be the same without you around!

You all got me. I'M the one that did it!

(Not really, but I might as well take credit)

Freakin' Elric!

Well, I've got 5 Stalkers, a Bane, a Fortunata, and an Energy Aura Brute, so I'd love to join in.

Oh, Ultimus.

Because Castle <3s Trickshooter!

(And yes it's real, thanks Nylonus!)

Happy Birfday

I'm down, yo. Got a Claws/WP stuck at 19 that could use it.

I guess it's not set in stone till he just shows up and says it, but again, I'm pretty sure Castle wouldn't give Defenders a +Special inherent power.

Happy Birthday, big guy

Okay, so it's not like there aren't hundreds of suggestions to revamp Vigilance, but I figure I should attempt my own in the hopes that maybe Castle, Sunstorm, or Synapse (or maybe even Positron *crosses fingers*) likes it.

So, what is most wrong with the current form of Vigilance?

It's boring!

That's right, completely dull. And something quite as ho hum as current Vigilance has no place in this MMO. While I can definitely see when it's there and working, it's just so uninteresting and so uninspiring that I can't bring myself to be even a little bit excited about the fact that my powers are now costing significantly less endurance to use. And I certainly can never tell whether using less endurance would have made as much of a difference as some of the other inherent powers do.

I'm not even sure what it has to do with Defenders at all. Kheldians and Tankers have pretty 'meh' inherents as well, but you can at least see that they relate to those ATs and their roles on a team (Tankers hold aggro, Kheldians buff themselves to either fill missing roles on the team or enhance the ones that are already there) . The only part of Vigilance that relates to Defenders is that it requires a team (not that Defenders require a team, but making teams awesome is what they do best).

But enough ranting, on to my idea.


I propose that Vigilance be replaced by an auto omni-buff aura!

You guys: "What does that even mean?"

I'll explain:

Teammates within 30 feet of the Defender, and including the Defender themselves, will receive a small buff to multiple aspects. These buffs would provide a small, but very nice benefit, and be able to stack, encouraging teams to include multiple Defenders in the team line-up. This would also, possibly, help to deal with the increasing fear that Going Rogue will make Defenders less desired on teams when Corruptors are available blueside.

You guys: "Get to the values!"

I'm no Dev, so I can't say whether these are 'omg too good' or 'meh *yawn*' values, but I think they sit well outside of the ranges of underpowered and overpowered.
