  1. Next is Coyote-in-batsuit flight power.
  2. I think the Council could use a makeover in general. Right now they're just a less interesting 5th Column.

    But yeah, I agree some Bosses should stand out more.

    I think he aggro'd 4 groups and was at the end of the hallway facing maybe 2 of them. The rest of us were stuck with a hallway of aggro'd enemies attacking us as we tried to reach him.
    You need more Tanks!

    Tights!

    Have collars been mentioned yet? Small ones that just cover the lower neck (like the Fantastic Four uniforms), or open collars like the Justice League are suddenly wearing.

    What kind of marketing is that?
    I know it makes no sense, but it seems to be what people want.

    Idiots. What they think is "Revenge of the Nerds" is really shooting themselves in the foot.

    It is? How many times are you counting yourself?

    Some guy named Darrin, unfortunately.

    As far as the villain-side world goes, the killer would be $name.
  10. If an account hasn't been logged into for five-plus years, it should be open season on their names.

    Send out an email inviting past players back. Let them know all they have to do to protect their old names is log in once every five years. If you can't be bothered in that window of time, you're not coming back.

    I don't care if it only helps a few players actually get the names they want. A few happy players now are more important than non-existent players from 2007.
  11. They should have at least pulled him out of Fort Trident. When he's standing the room you specifically have to go to to redeem your mission reward, it might as well be an intentional surprise ending (even when you know it isn't.)

    I haven't play the villain version, but I definitely agree. Why is Darrin Wade even in the arc? Let the players be the villain.

    Tights!

    Also- patterns for T-Shirts.
  14. I haven't played the TPN trial, so I haven't really followed the threads about it, so someone may have already suggested this:

    The rock-throwing citizens that players are complaining about? Make the damage illusionary. Basically make them a side-effect of the telepaths sapping your will, allowing the angry citizens to "hurt your feelings".
  15. Pretty embarrassing to get killed by a guy named Darrin.

    Another forced-failed mission, my least favourite part of the game. I know players are supposed to think "the big hero is dead, now I'm number one!" but I already thought that. Our heroes are the focus of the game, I consider Statesman a minor supporting character. So his death isn't really a big deal to me, other than my inability to save him makes my hero look bad.

    So anyway- I get a Hero Merit and decide to go cash it in in Fort Trident... and of course, there's Statesman. I guess the medi-port kicked in.
  16. I think this is a good idea. The continued xp should be unlocked by visiting a contact, since not every player will like the change, but not a "trainer". You're level 50, you don't need training.

    A possible reward could be a choice of Temp Powers. Each time you level, you can choose another power. If it's one you already have, you increase the charges.

    Then again, I'm not sure we need any more Temp Powers at level 50...
  17. I only watched the first episode, it seemed too zany. What made the movie work was it was so subdued and deadpan. The cartoon seemed more like Beavis & Butthead.
  18. All their dialogue ends with a wink emoticon.

  21. If your character concept is "god" then you're a god. Thor's a god, and he still teams up with a guy with a bow and arrow.

    It has a proc that boosts Resistance, when fully stacked it's supposedly close to +20%. Seems like a lot, we'll see if it makes it live.

    But the Fighting Pool has always been optional to me, anyway.

    I'm sure that's part of it, but I'm still not sure why the tech lab map runs smoothly but the Longbow base (which is just a re-skin of the same map) is so bad.
  24. I'll blame the iTrial lag on my computer, but what I don't understand is the lag in certain maps like the Longbow Base and the new Warehouse rooms. How can most of the game run fine, then slow down into slideshow mode in those areas?

    Focused PVP

    I'd add an alternate, simplified version of PvP that uses only a handful of powers, based on your Archetype and Primary/Secondary sets. You'd still get the set bonuses from your normal build, though.
