It's a neat idea, I just don't see that going over well when the Devs announce that they've been working on making the NPC's live more fulfilling lives rather than doing "X" for whatever period of time.

Y= 1, when X= 1
Y= 2, when X= 1
X= -1, when X= 1

And that's how dimensions work.

Your failure is now mine

I wounder if the Ranged Incarnate Enhancements would affect melee powers. I would totally slot those to sword-fight people from 20 feet away if only for the lulz.

There is no reason Infernal Earth, the Dimension where Infernal, or K'Varr D'Shall, hails from does not have dimensions that are very similiar to it in the same fashion as Primal and Praetoria were until very recently.

It is entirely likely that the "Praetorian" version of Infernal came from a similiar, yet entirely separate, Dimension and then traveled to Praetoria. "Praetorian" Infernal may have even called HIS home Dimension Infernal Earth, unaware that "Primal" Infernal was also calling HIS home Dimension by the same name.

Essentially what I'm saying is there are two Infernal Earth's, both similiar but not the same, which both had a K'Varr D'Shall who is then transported to either Primal Earth or Praetorian Earth.


The other, more FUN, idea stems off the concept that the multiverse is created whenever an individual has the option of doing something even slightly different than what they actually do. The multiverse would therefor be larger than the scope of human understanding. It doesn't just duplicate itself, it multicates, which isn't even a word (in this dimension.)

When a person travels through dimensions, the "what-if" factor of the multiverse would then send him to every single OTHER dimension than the one he actually wanted to GO too. This would account for the "How did we get here, weren't we going to X?" Yes, one of you got to X, but an infinite number of you also went everywhere else as well. This would make it possible for the Infernal in Primal Earth and the Infernal in Praetorian Earth to actually be the same person.

Throw in Time Travel and it just gets more hazy.

I'm so sick of watching people trickle in after every redname post to... and moan because they think they have a higher chance of being heard no matter what the current discussion was supposed to be about. It utterly ruins whatever chance at conversation the thread was intended for from happening, and gives the impression that the person whining is so full of themselves that they've decided their current feelings are more important than what anyone else was trying to discuss.

It's as if I walked into a random conversation and started... about my love-life, fully expecting console from everyone I've projected myself upon. It's rude, it's self-centered, and yet an unfathomable number of you feels completely okay with doing it. I'm not sure if you're just socially inept or mentally handicapped, but it needs to stop.

If you want to... about AE, go make YET ANOTHER topic about it, and post in it instead of here so I can ignore you like I'm usually able to do, and not have to get irritated with seeing your whining in a thread that wasn't supposed to be about you. Stop trying to justify your complaints by claiming to have some nameless other you are representing. If they want to... about AE, they can go do it with you in a topic you make that is specifically about that.

Stop hi-jacking every single thread you touch with your incessant feelings.

Wow, it took exactly two posts for this to turn into another whiney **** thread.

So much for fun ideas.

I talk in local all the time. Occasionally to NPC's. Sometimes even to other actual people.

Mostly to myself though.

So far all of my builds have become quite a bit more powerful thanks to not having to take the Fitness Pool. It's weird the difference three powers can make.

At the same time, I'm not sure how big a deal this is when people are already capable of soloing AV's, and even some GM's.

I love Soul Mastery. Gloom is one of the best ST DPS attack in the game for Brutes, and Darkest Night makes the entire Fighting pool seem redundant (and more awesome if you can manage both).

I don't have caltrops on my /Nin stalker, why would I want it for all the rest of them?

Something to take into account; The Devs have recently announced that the Fitness pool is going to become inherent sometime in the near future. This means that all powers in the Fitness pool will be available to you at level 1 or 2 without you actually having to pick them. You could three-slot stamina at level 3, if you so chose.

This means about three new powers that you could shove into your build, which you may be able to use to fix your defenses without diluting other aspects of your character as much.

I don't mind dead ends so much, I just hate the clutter. A lot of the time the dead ends seem like they are supposed to be there, regardless of whether or not there's something to KILL there. The office building is the best example of this I can think of. It's an office building. There's offices. No, badguys aren't in every single room, but I'd be a bit perplexed to never run into little rooms where the hapless citizens might play pong when they aren't being held hostage by Skullz.

Maybe make the clutter in maps less... Rigid. I feel infinitely silly as a SUPER HERO when I'm stuck on a small rock or a desk and not incinerating it with my mind like I should be.

I hate the blue cave especially. Despite having memorized all the "parts" that make up the map, and generally knowing where I should and shouldn't go, I simply can't get down the twitch button reaction that is needed to move at more than 15mph in those narrow hallways without getting stuck on a small pebble.

At least with the other maps I can generally blaze through them once I got their general construction figured out. But no. Not the caves. They need to be all damn SPECIAL.

Special mention goes to the "Lab" map. There's this random part where the stairway you need to go is in some dark, purple hallway that's like, in the damn wall and I can almost never find it until the map is on FIRE and you have 2 minutes to gtfo.

I have two SoA, a Huntsmen (pew pew) and a Night Widow. The Huntsmen is actually an old special ops AR/Dev blaster I used to play who was undercover in Arachnos to... Well, destroy Arachnos. City of Villains doesn't have me hurting innocents very often so he has actually been fairly easy to role play with. He will likely be going Rogue so that he can complete assignments in Paragon City while still completing his current assignment within Arachnos.

My other character, Lana Fiore, is a Night Widow who is basically sticking to the script supplied in the Epic Storyline. As such, I don't really know where she is going to wind up.

The Chance for Build-Up isn't really why you would take the Gaussin's set, though it is a nice bonus. You can "expect" the build up to occur after about 190 seconds typically, but that's not a guarantee either. It might go off back to back, it might ignore you for over 300 seconds. It might not even go off while you are fighting something.

Still, having the entire Gaussin's set offers you a very nice defense buff which is very useful when trying to soft-cap a position/element to increase your survivability. The other set bonuses aren't too bad either. Those taking the leadership pool will usually stack a six slotted Tactics with Maneuvers for this purpose.

Even without Gaussin's, Tactics is still a favorable toggle. You can get away with slotting less accuracy, your damage will increase from missing less, and enemies which cheaply boost their defense will be less of a hassle to you and your team.

Assault in comparison is a 10.5% Damage Buff, which, while still nice, isn't as versatile in it's application as Tactics. I've never been playing and felt like assault was the key to victory, where as Tactics often winds up being paramount to my success against particular enemies for the simple fact that you can't hurt what you can't hit.

Assault is the better option, however, if you can't find slots to devote to Tactics, you already have excess To-Hit and Defense, or if you play on a low enough difficulty where you wouldn't need larger amounts of accuracy to overcome your enemies.

*Edit* Tactics is also slightly less useful if everyone on the team is using it in comparison to Assault/Maneuvers because it's far easier to have excess To-Hit than it is to have excess damage/defense. If you are planning on playing with someone else who has Tactics, you might consider picking up Assault instead.

/unsigned because I'd rather have Global Unlocks than this. (Essentially, unlocking a costume piece on one character unlocks the costume piece for all of them.)
