    I think the i24 login is just awful.

    It's plaques. With a Q.

    But I agree with your suggestion, the Hero ATs need to be added there.

Color Customization for pools has been an issue for me since I turned on full particle effects last year, whereas I've wanted to recolor my Warshade since I rolled him (Sunless Mire is the coloring I want, on a global level).

    But Hey, at least we will be able to recolor Hasten to match US, right?
  4. Sad little level 50 Stone Armor tanker. Never gets played.

    Big changes to the set might be too much to ask for, so how about a very small change.


    Leave it all as is except for one thing.

    Allow us to Jump when in Rooted and Granite, but with penalties to height and speed.


    Then I would play my stone tanker.

    Just because you like it, does not make it an acceptable thing in the Real World.
    Please show me where it is stated that I should be reported and punished for having a character with a bathroom themed name.

Plus it's an indicator of the kinds of things they're likely to be saying in chat, which are likely to be equally (or more!) disgusting, juvenile, off-putting and unpleasant.

    That's partially what the star/note system is for, after all: to allow us to identify the players we don't want to deal with -- for whatever reason, be it rudeness, abuse, ignorance, whatever -- and not play with people whose behaviors reduce our enjoyment of the game.
    Yea, I will avoid playing with players who whine about humorous names because it reduces my enjoyment of the game.

    why on earth do you care? if someone wants to make a Water/Ice or Water/Cold and call it Yellow Snow why exactly is that a problem for anyone at all?

    So I *am* being forced to do those NPC missions. But you're saying that it may be a bug.

    Well, I've already /bugged this problem, so if they ever get back to me I'll let them know what the problem was. Meanwhile this forum has the solution -- thank you!
    It sounds to me like what Tex was saying, and perhaps what your problem was, was that you have Other arcs open in addition to the personal stories.

    As far as I know you are Not "forced" to play the personal stories. I haven't found that to be the case on my characters.
  9. It seems to me the blaster secondary changes are basically a good idea.


    The ranged attack changes are also good, but they are really going to help Defenders and Corruptors just as much if not more than Blasters. They will also help most Dominators and a few Stalkers and Scrappers.


    Essentially the problem is this: Even with these useful survivability powers in the secondaries, blasters are still less survivable than even Stalkers. It remains to be seen exactly how far these range changes bring Blasters damage but they really ought to be able to put out sustained DPS numbers from Range comparable with Stalkers, Scrappers and Brutes in Melee.

    I don't have a problem with any of the changes, but it seems like a little something more for Blasters will be necessary. Even with these changes there might need to be an additional AT wide buff for Blasters or boosts for certain powers in various sets, or a little of both.
  10. Keep in mind that in teams Blasters will almost Always have 22% tohit from teammate buffs.
  11. Max's arc did NOT grant a reward in BETA.


    My belief is that it is WAI for Max's arc to not offer an end reward.


    I don't LIKE it, but I think it's WAI.

    If this is so, then my question is this; where is the best place to put the ATO for maximum dps? (I mean, we -are- a dps AT afterall)
    I'm pretty convinced the best place is AS itself, but I have 0 scientific basis for that.

    (Edit: TL;DR version: yes - Burst is the only AoE improved in a primary power and only because it has a 100% critical rate from hidden status, which has been confirmed as a bug that will ... eventually ... get fixed).

    How many targets were you thinking, or would that not have an impact?

    Can you explain what purchases I can make on the market that allow me to be more succesful in playing the game? I'd really like to know.
  15. What I think IS possible is something similar to the following:


    Make Stalker Eagle's Claw cause the next attack or two against the same target have a small aoe effect, or Eagle's Claw causes the next Storm Kick to be a small cone or aoe.



    That accomplishes the goal of adding AoE without changing anything else about the set or the powers.


    As for EM, I still think if they WANTED to add AoE, adding it to Energy Transfer is the way to go (and I kinda think they should make that change to ALL versions of Energy Transfer).

    Is this true about Placate even for AoEs?

    Like is Placate>Burst or Throw Spines or something a DPS loss?

  18. MA and EM don't need AoEs.


    The reason why:

    I know for a FACT there are some (bizarre) people out there who want to make toons with only single target attacks, and it's not so bad that there should be a couple of sets for those people.

    By that definition the whole incarnate system is 'pay-to-win', but I don't know if subscribe-to-win is a thing really.
    With a definition this loose the WHOLE GAME is pay-to-win. It's meaningless.

  23. When you're doing the second Signature Arc on a Stalker and you forget you're a Hero and you go kill the LT guarding the vault and then you're like 'OMG why can't I kill the vault!?' and then you realize you're a Hero, and you come back around the corner, and there's like a dozen cops standing there....but they can't see you.

    TL;DR...I need sleep.
  24. I am looking for a list of Every badge in Alphabetical order, with NO subcategories.

    Just every badge in the game in One list, A to Z.

    Does it exist?



    I know I can search Within a category such as Exploration, Achievement, etc, but is there anywhere a list without the categories?



    The reason I want this is so I can look for badges I might want for particular characters.
