I'm all for Global Costume Pieces as well. I don't mind unlocking it once, but only once. Otherwise I commonly run into a situation where a character in my head relies upon a costume piece I can't actually give to them and the entire thing just winds up not happening at all, or I play with a "gimp" place holder costume until I can actually make them look the way I had envisioned.

The AOE is plenty big. Upping the radius would require drastic reduction in the damage of Ignite for it to remain even kind of balanced.

There is nothing wrong with Ignite, and I personally greatly enjoy having the ability to swap it's function as is situation appropriate, even if I do normally just torch things to an ashy pile.

Hover offers game benefits that are not immediately obvious in it's description. Unlike Hover, Combat Jumping basically tells you everything it does; You actually need to play the game with Hover to realize that mitigation it can offer you:

It offers Ranged Characters potent damage mitigation in the ability to avoid melee attacks to a higher degree.

It allows a character to avoid many ground based attacks through the virtue of not being on the ground. Knives of Artemis and CoT Earth mages immediately jump to mind.

It allows you to divide up a spawn by separating those that fly from those that can't.

I consider these things worth the lack of Immobilization protection that Combat Jumping offers (especially since I can just TAKE CJ as well). I don't know why CJ gets to have such low endurance, and while I would LIKE Hover to be set to match CJ, it probably makes more sense that CJ's end/s be set to match hover.


Hover+CJ is actually a pretty good Defense option as far as min/maxing goes. Neither require any prerequisites, can both be slotted with LoTG+Rech, offer about 4% Defense to everything when stacked together, offer benefits beyond just def, and don't need more than their base slot to be effective. You can safely toss either in at any point in your build and be better for it.

The amount of work that would be required for an underwater zone likely rivals that of what was done in Going Rogue. Even if you do just ignore the laws of physics and chemistry, as most games do when dealing with the "underwater zone", you still need new animations, new art, a new zone, new missions, new enemy groups... The amount of work involved in making an underwater zone would likely be greater than what went into making Going Rogue and City of Villains combined.

I'm sure we'd all LIKE an underwater zone, but when you start considering all of the things that need to be shoved aside in order to create such a place its' priority drops off somewhere in "Happy Thoughts" land. Especially when you consider that it'd probably only have content available for like, 10 levels or so.

As someone else mentioned, it'd probably be easier to do a "space" zone than it would be to make an underwater area. With a space zone they mostly just need to **** with the physics engine and art some **** up.

If: End Cost of Combat Jumping = End Cost of Hover

Then: Hover > Combat Jumping?

The button has like, a 1.5 second delay. I'm totally unsubbing if this goes live.

I guessing if it was possible to have done that, they would have implemented it in that fashion.

So probably not, but I can't give you any specifics why.

It works like this:
The SELLER puts an item up for sale, but the BIDDER has no idea what the price of that item is.

The BIDDER can then make a bid for an item. If he bids an amount over what the SELLER was asking for the item, that currency is transferred to the SELLER and the BIDDER obtains the item. If the BIDDER bids an amount under what the SELLER is asking for, then his bid simply sits in the system, waiting for a SELLER to place an item in the auction house that is an amount of currency that is less than or equal to the amount the BIDDER is willing to bid. When this happens the BIDDER automatically obtains the item (which waits in the Auction House for him) and the SELLER obtains his idle currency.

The LEAST EXPENSIVE item on sale will always be given to the HIGHEST BID AMOUNT offered. If you see text stating something to the effect of "100 items, 20 bidders" that means that there are 20 individual bids for an item that are all UNDER the asking price for that particular item.

The sales history merely gives you an idea of what the price range is for the item in question, but it is not telling you what the actual price of the item was; just how much the bidder paid for it. An Item that went for 200k might have only required a mere 10k to obtain.

Alternatively, someone might put an item up for sale when there currently are none, and then quickly buy his own product back for a large sum so as to make the item APPEAR more valuable than it actually is for people who depend on the Sales History to determine the value of a product. At this point he then re-sells his item and waits for some sucker to spend way more currency than they should have.

A truly wealthy person might be able to monopolize an item by buying every single one that goes on sale, and then sell it back for double or triple the original price. This only works for a limited amount of time, however, because once people realize that a particular item is rising in price they'll attempt to sell the crap out of that item, which leads to an over-inflation of the product and then drastic decrease in it's value as the masses attempt to out-compete each other by lowering their prices. Eventually the item becomes so cheap it is worthless, and everyone goes home. At this point the original monopolizer can resume business by hoarding the item until there is a demand for it again.

In short, don't trust price history. It's full of ****.

Most of my characters that fly are using Magic. One of them is a fairy who, despite having wings, still cannot fly fully without using magic. The "normal" fliers are a sort of "Eagle" character I made who sports wings, and my Peacebringer/Warshade.

X-330, my AR/Dev (and sometimes Huntsmen) has prosthetic legs which are modified to sort of "glide" along the ground and thus he can move around very quickly.

My Ill/Storm Controller is a water nymph whose body is composed of nearly 99% water, and because of her ability to manipulate hydrogen, she can actually evaporate her body when she jumps which enables her to move upwards very quickly. Fortunately moving vertically at such high velocities usually forces her to re-solidify and thus return to Earth, or she might accidentally fly off into space.

Most of my characters have Super Jump because... They can just jump really well, and I wanted combat jumping.

I've been having a love affair with Band of Skulls recently. They were featured in a Mustang commercial and one of the Twilight movies. They're relatively new, but they still kick-***.

I don't know enough about how the Incarnate System is going to work in it's final form, so there's no good way for me to plan for it. Just sitting around and waiting isn't really my style either, and if it comes down to it I'll just slot over IO's like I normally do. Not having an optimized character just means I get to play it longer, so it's not really a big deal for me to do that.

I've already made new builds for about 80% of my characters in anticipation for the Inherent Fitness changes. Most of them are still fairly similiar and shouldn't require much IO "replacement." They've all gained such awesome levels of POWER that I wouldn't want to leave them the same way anyway.

Beyond using first person, the best you can do is to move the camera back, and then tilt up. During combat I will use the "follow" command on my enemy a lot so that I can use my left-right movement keys to look around myself during combat, typically to reposition myself for a better view if something utterly obscuring gets in the way.

Despite your best efforts though, there will be times when you are playing blind. Especially when you start getting characters that are flinging AOE's all over the place. Sometimes the mass of colorful explosions makes it a nightmare to figure out where you are in relationship to anything else. In these types of situations your best bet is to use the targeting receptacle, which highlights enemies in a big reddish-orange box, and then hit follow to send your character to them, rather than just trying to "look" for an enemy in all the craziness.

Or maybe you'd just prefer playing a ranged character.
