What? No tips on fighting other MMs?

Seriously though, great guide.

If hurdle + combat jumping can get me moving as fast as superspeed, then hover should be good for something.

That makes a lot of sense. And of course, that's why it won't happen.

Legion Supreme's Wonder Woman analogue (Power Princess?) used a shield IIRC.

[/ QUOTE ]

Did you mean Squadron Supreme? (and as far as using a shield goes, I have no idea)

On the subject of shields being only included for Captain America fans, what about the spines powers? Not very prominent in comics, and yet still added (at launch, even)...

Maybe a "China town" of some sort ... that would be a nice touch

Perhaps in the rebuilt Baumton...?

AND now...we're changing the way Archvillains spawn. A ton of forum goers disliked adding so many AV's into missions a while back...so we've come up with a solution. If the team size and mission difficulty are ABOVE a certain level, an Archvillain spawns. Below that, players will face only an Elite Boss. If the mission is set on the first two levels of difficulty, it takes 4 heroes or more to spawn an Arch Villain. On the third level, 3 heroes or more. On the fourth level, 2 heroes. On the highest (Invincible), a solo hero will spawn an AV. Note this works in BOTH City of Heroes and Villains.

In order to incentivize larger teams, Positron is going to add a bonus to AV rewards!

May I suggest perhaps they would make good Pool power sets, as any hero should be able to learn how to ... kick Frostfire in the jumblies.

[/ QUOTE ]

Take Kick from the fighting pool...

I was under the impression that if you didn't ever pay base rent you would only loose access to things that would be useful in raids. Therefore if you never wanted to do raids you'd never need to pay rent.

Our base hasn't even been made fully functional yet but we get into it and use it for role play and to play with the editor, and we've let the rent go for a long time. Last night we couldn't get into it at all until someone finally paid.

Am I remembering wrong? Are you required to pay rent just to use the base even if you aren't using it for raids?

Thanks!

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm afraid you're remembering somewhat wrong. There is a grace period after your first missed payment during which you base is powered down. But if you continue to ignore rent, eventually all access to your base is lost. Once you pay your rent, access is restored.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can you add an option to delete your base? All my small sg can afford is a social, nonfunctional base, and I was also under the impression that we could keep it at the cost of losing power (which isn't a concern for us). I'd rather just get rid of it now and start earning influence again, without the any pestering to pay rent.

I tried to be specific by mentioning "Henchmen" instead of "Pets".

The above statement by me applies ONLY to Mastermind Henchmen powers, i.e. the summoned pets that can be controlled via the command icons. Pets that are summoned "uncontrolled" (even those summoned by Masterminds) behave as they always have in regards to Enhancements (i.e. the Enhancement affects the power, not the pet).

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait... lets use an example: uncontrolled pet vs controlled henchman

-------------------- Animated Stone --------- Battle Drone
slotting accuracy: AS is more accurate ---- BD is more accurate
slotting damage: AS does more damage -- BD does more damage
slotting recharge: resummon AS sooner --- resummon BD sooner

Is this correct? If so, I don't see the difference...

HUZZAH

So w'e've now seen you posting for defenders, stalkers, and scrappers (and maybe others I'm forgetting), which I think is awesome. But what happened to the other AT community reps?

Great to hear, renews hope for my small sg.

I just walked into the hurrican and AS.

[/ QUOTE ]

Even if you overcame the repel aspect, wouldn't AS be interrupted?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, if so...it never did in Beta PvP events. Maybe once the repel effect cannot hit you, you are safe from it?

[/ QUOTE ]

An invul can walk through hurricane, but they should still be interrupted if they used a power like aid self.

So far, we've got confirmations that */Nin and */EA can't get past repel. Aren't SR and Regen in the same boat (haven't pvped as my regen in months, so I can't remember )? What set did you play?

I wish I could play as a hero invading the Rogue Isles alongside the Freedom Phalanx...

Sweet

Now can we get the old costumes back?

I like this idea. You are not your SG. You very well may add influence to it, but the SG as an entity is only out there doing something when it's members are actively advertising themselves as such, in the manner that the game provides, SG mode.

[/ QUOTE ]

My main problem is that a lot of SGs (on Triumph at least) have an official SG uniform, and it's not uncommon at all for people to wear the uniform even when teaming with non-sg people. So all that time spent promoting the sg *without* using SG mode amounts to squat.

I see. Somewhat misleading since the quote starts with "Other news from GenCon" implying that there's more...

Interesting.

I think SG mode with default colors isn't so bad, even if the chest detail changes. I can see a lot of people taking the "AFK in mission" route.

What sucks is that this (seemingly) will take a *long* time for villain SGs to get any decent amount of prestige time, potentially delaying any villain base raids.

To the OP: Would you mind at least linking to the rest of the information for all of us to see? Copying & pasting will work too...

Will preorders for the Collectors edition still get the appropriate helmet depending on the store you went to?

[ QUOTE ]
Is there a way to get the four helmets without having to preorder the game four times on the four stores?

[/ QUOTE ]

AFAIK, it was impossible to have more than 1 of the original 4 prestige sprints, because each pre-order would be linked to a seperate account; you couldn't merge the accounts to have all 4 prestige sprints on 1 character. It would be the same in this case.

Edit: Well, with the new info it looks like I'm sort of wrong. It seems everyone will be able to get these... eventually.

I enjoyed my rescue/escort mission a lot, but a big disappointment was that my ally was stealing exp while assisting me.

Thanks for all the great work you've done and congrats on the new position! We'll miss you

And did I see Freedom Phalanx Trainers fighting Arachnos?

[/ QUOTE ]

You mean Freedom Corps

I was expecting a trailer with actual gameplay footage, but this was still cool.

Skimming through the thread:

Due to the upcoming Power Sets Manticore is actually a Trick Arrow, Archery Defender. Also, his arch-enemy is called Protean, not Doppleganger.

[/ QUOTE ]

One, those power sets better cross archetypes.



[/ QUOTE ]

This post got me thinking

We all know that Archery is wanted for a Blaster primary

But, since Trick Arrow is going to be a defender primary, what are the chances of Controllers getting this as a secondary?
*imagines Fire/TA, Ill/TA, Mind/TA, etc*

Sorry if this was brought in up another post...
