Power Customization: BABs already explained this. Weapon Customization is step 1, but anything further requires wholesale engine upgrades because animations are baked in.

I'm wondering if the reason why they hired so many people and have so little to show for it so far isn't just because of Going Rogue... I wonder if they're rewriting the game's engine from the ground up?

As long as you have the "new big four" (the ST bubbles, Dispersion and Repulsion Bomb), go nuts, and I won't complain.

But I consider not having Repulsion Bomb on a bubbler to be a sin now.

Now, one of devs broke off and are now doing another game.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fixed. Jack is the only one that left. All of the other game developers stayed with the game.

Yes.

O SNAP. I am proven an idiot yet again!

But to be fair, you did have one of those moments as well when you assumed that I'd only looked at the whole list and not just the Rikti.

The sheet is the damage resistance of the enemies... so wouldn't enemies having a lower resistance be better?

(And, as I just checked, I don't have permission to access the first, so I'm afraid I can't reference that bit you included).

Ah, you're right, it was private, I apologize. This was my first time using Google documents. I have edited the original post to reflect.

Here is the document again.

It isn't. It's showing percent damage taken from the power source.

[/ QUOTE ]

Great! So, if the percentage damage taken from the power source is .80, then that's better than the percentage taken from the power source being 1.00, right?

[ QUOTE ]
Low is bad.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait, what? Taking 80% of the damage is worse than taking 100% of the damage? Huh?

Um.... the sheet that I gave to the OP is nothing BUT Rikti... the second link is to the full thing. Did you even look at it??? Reading comprehension indeed.

Perhaps you would if one day you play a soccer MMO where some designer who admits he's only ever been to a single soccer match has decided that it would be "unfair" for the goalie to be able to touch the ball with his hands when no one else can.

Or a racing MMO where their Porsche was interpreted by a dev who doesn't even have a driver's licence as a car that handles like a garbage truck and tops out at 45mph.

Maybe then a Porsche fan would say something about it on their forums and in response they'll get a kind of Prisoner-esque unlogic from the people who flocked to the Porsche/garbage truck like "Whoever said Porsches were fast, Number Six?"


[/ QUOTE ]

So, are you trying to say that these devs fail at developing and running a superhero MMO because they were never superheroes themselves???

[ QUOTE ]
Uhh... Phil, where you getting that?

Look at the hard numbers on the spreadsheet, and the average at the bottom. Big Difference.

It was emotionally based. I could sense the irritation and slight anger through my monitor. Yes, I'm now Obi-Wan apparently.

Please try to keep all posts in THIS thread at least, as Spock posts. That one was a Kirk post.

Blogs are for information about someone's personal life, this post was about the game. It is quite appropriate here.

I went Dark Blast 'cause I was told by several players that Rikti have a weakness to it. I never observed it myself, but it made sense, Rikti hating magic and all.



[/ QUOTE ]

They told you wrong, take a look for yourself. I took the data from this great spreadsheet and averaged them out. There is a SUBSTANTIAL difference in the two. Energy is definitely better, so if you want to do the most damage, go electrical or energy blast.

But if you want it for THEME, screw damage... theme is theme.

I'd actually reccommend changing it to a FF/Elec. In my experience Rikti seem to be somehow WEAK to energy damage. They go down faster than any other mobs I ever fought when I was playing the Philotic Knight, who was FF/Elec.

That being said, if you do want to stick with this route, here are my changes to your build:

Personal Force Field: Change one of the Defense Buffs to Recharge. It ALREADY puts you at WAY above the defense soft cap with the default slot, and you'll want that sucker back as fast as possible!

Force Bubble: You do NOT need that much endurance reduction in Force Bubble, it really does not use that much endurance. Anything more than two slots in there is a waste, put the extras somewhere else.

Repulsion Bomb: Where is it??? Honestly, I consider this to be a mandatory power for FFers now, with all the things it can do. Take it, slot it, love it.

And if you haven't already, read the guide in my signature.

Remember when.....



...I started this thread about a month ago, and then someone necro-rezzed it from the grave?

Ah, good times.

I also agree Day Jobs was a waste of a feature concept.

What would you have done with it?

[ QUOTE ]
I'm not debating that CO won't give us competition at all. I just don't think it will outright kill this game. It IS possible for multiple MMOs of a similar genre to exist.

[/ QUOTE ]

Nail, meet head.

That's probably the lamest pun I've ever heard.



No, wait. I've seen all of Chairman of the Board. Okay, that's the 1,934th lamest pun I've ever seen.

Okay, I've gotta ask, it's bugged me for too long.


WTF is up with the dot three lines down at the end of all your posts? Is it representative of some lost loved one, or a reminder of some epic event from your childhood? Because it's driving me INSANE!!!!

But my point is, that little survey when you cancel doesn't do jack.

Without Jack Emmert, we'd probably never have this game to BEGIN with.

Without Jack Emmert, we'd probably never have this game to BEGIN with. I thank him for that, forgive him for his trespasses, and hope that he can move on without trying to diss his "old game" every chance he gets in the media.

...oh wait...


...[censored].

That's because those go to posts that no longer exist.... they just pointed to posts that showed my successes in doing the TFs. I copied and pasted those posts INTO the guide, so that they are not lost forever. So, if you want to see how I did with the Dr. Q... just scroll up.
