    I have to take issue with this, to some extent. Soloing on some Defenders is downright awful. Empaths, for example, are basically playing with one power set, their blasts, and an astoundingly weak set at that.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I would say 1.5 sets. There are powers in the Empathy set that the Defender can use on himself. Heal Aura comes to mind, as does Recovery Aura.

    By the way, my Empathy/Electric Solos just fine.

    Here's a question: What stops you from taking SJ and just NEVER using it to its full potential? It would LOOK and FEEL like what you are proposing (at least in my head it does), and it would not require any Dev time.

    I think I raised a good question here... that everyone has ignored.

    Note how each of those actually ties into the power pool somehow? Flurry is a barrage of super fast punches. Sounds like Super Speed to me. Air Superiority? Um, duh. This is completely obvious. Of course a flier should have this attack. And Jump Kick? Well, the pool is called friggin Jumping. How does a Jump Kick not fit in?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Of course, that not mentioning the fact that the Teleportaion Power Pool doesn't even have a damaging attack in it.

    Which would be very amusing/disgusting if it were relevant, but where at all did you see anything of that sort in this thread?

    Don't really see it come up much in-game, either.

    Then again, most people express confusion upon finding out that I am a girl, for some reason. :|

    Are you saying you can easily and quickly traverse the cities in CoX with just hurdle?

    [/ QUOTE ]
    As a matter of fact, yes. I have a "Natural" Tank that just uses Swift for her travel power. I have another character that uses Hurdle and Combat jumping for a "travel power".

    Of course, "quickly" is a subjective term. Two people rarely ever have the exact same definition of anything.

    That the only bathrooms with activity within are the ones in the train stations.

    Go take a listen sometime.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Those are toilets/urinals with the automatic flush feature...and its broken. no one is actually in there. the doors are stuck.

    We have a possessed sink at work. It will turn itself on and off (its an automated faucet thats supposed to turn itself on when someone is in close proximity, like 3 inches) at random times when no one is near the thing.

    Have you ever seen the movie the Spirit? In the very beginning he is running across the city jumping from roof top to rooftop very quickly. He wasn't leaping a half mile at a time, and he wasn't running as fast as the flash, but he was running much faster than a normal person and jumping further and higher than a normal person which allowed him to traverse the city very quickly. This is what I would like.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Bolded for emphasis.

    This also makes the mode of travel not natural for a human.

    To be honest, even a character without Swift, Hurdle, Sprint, or any other movement enhancing buffs/powers will still run faster and longer and jump farther and higher than any natural human could. Have you noticed that your character can literally leap onto top of an 8' moving truck? If you have Hurdle, you can literally leap over the 8' moving truck. I'd like to see an Olympic Athlete try that.

    I'll have to pop on to check Flame's mailbox. It's hard to drag her away from other things like the pool, Doctor Who, Merlin, biking and boardgaming.

    WooT! A Who-fan too! Now she's just pure awesome. And so are you for letting her watch Doctor Who. Have you introduced her to the original Doctor Who series or just the recent one?

    Well BAB's has always said it wasn't hard to do, just time consuming.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Let's just say "something" happened so that they found the time to do it.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    probably something like the addition of a couple of dozen new people to Paragon Studios. Of course, I could be wrong. They could have been secretly working on it since the release of CoV. Which, I believe I stated once in a previous Power Customization thread a couple of years ago.
  14. Twisted Toon

    Ummm

    Yes.

    No.

    Maybe?
  15. Thank you for breaking the thread, Merm. could you fix it before you leave, please?

    But then, I am a bit insane at the moment. Just got off work and all that.

    This... except I haven't been around for 5 years, and I play lowbies a bit more often. (Is 15 a lot of alts? Cuz if it is that is different too.)

    Depends on what you're comparing it to. I have somewhat over 70 alts, so...maybe.

    As far as I know, it isn't possible. At the very least, it'd likely require changing every single attack in the game to include positions on the damage components...

    then resisting a sword vs. a bullet

    Kevlar vs chainmail. Kevlar sucks at stopping knives but is good for guns. Chainmail sucks at stopping knives, but kicks knives' [censored].

    I see Kevlar as more defense than resistance.

    the forums really, been doing other things with my micro time allowances.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    I understand that. I've been working some overytime lately, so I haven't had a lot of time for playing. I like to set aside at least an hour for that. But after work, I'm too tired to decide which of my several dozens of alts I want to play, let alone actually play them.

    But, I can come here and read the forums. And I do at least twice a day.
  21. Personally, I think its because she's concerned about Leroy Jenkins...

    What kind of relationship do they have anyway?

    edit: by Leroy Jenkins, I mean Operative Jenkins villain-side.

    Also you're gonna have a really horrible time once you hit Kings Row. How do you plan on getting contacts there exactly? Since I assume you won't be using and guides to check the badge unlocked contacts.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You can still get sent to a contact in KR by a contact in AP or GC. If you do your starting contact that is. they never took out that path of contacts. They just added another way to acquire them.

    stamina - this power isnt needed because we have blue inspirations. when your end gets low, just pop those.
    who needs a whole new power.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Agreed, Stamina is not needed for most ATs and Power-set combos. However, most people who Min/Max their characters will disagree. Because not having Stamina will reduce their precious DPS.

    As for the Original "suggestion" and its revisions. There is not need for them either. Many people, Those I know an those I've only run with occasionally (or once), have had very few problems with being mezzed regardless of the ATs they're using.

    B_I,
    In regards to Steampunkette "showing her true colors", You've also shown yours on many occasions. Just sayin'
