Quote:I think the basis for a great Hero is the one moment where they make the choice to believe in something greater than themselves, all the truly memorable Heroes that last through the ages all have that moment that everyone remembers when they go from the simple guy just trying to make it in the world to a legend.Originally Posted by Bubbawheat
I started a movie blog this year that focuses on superhero movies, but aside from just reviews, I've been writing a blog post every Tuesday just to talk about whatever's on my mind at the time and this week's post I tried to analyze basically what makes a superhero different from, like an action star or something else. I didn't mention it there, but I thought about City of Heroes.
To get back around to why I'm making this post here, when you create a superhero in the game, what makes them a "superhero" and not just a "hero"? Is it their costume? Their powers? A persona of something greater than their own self? Or do you prefer to make regular guys that fight crime, or something else that's not a "hero"?

Who is an Incarnate as well. -
Ever since the introduction of Mot I have had a Theory on the The Coming Storm, We currently have Mot and The Banished Pantheon, The 5th and the Nictus, Preatorean Hamidon, Tyrant and the IDF, The Well, Ouroboros, The Letter Writer, Rularuu and the Rularuu-Shin, Darin Wade, The Battalion, The Rikti, The Furies, and with the recent events of this spring fling it looks like Arachnos may be coming back as a threat all at once.
This is the freaking Ragnarok, every major power we know about is coming into the fray at once, and we have a Jormungandr under sharkhead. -
Quote:welcome to masterminds and set bonuses 101.Originally Posted by Draeth Darkstar
The title pretty much says it all. Why is there only one remotely useful set bonus in the Mastermind ATO set (being +Recharge, which isn't even good for every Mastermind primary/secondary combo)?
Damage set bonuses don't effect pets, which makes that utterly useless, Masterminds have the lowest base HP in the game, so a maxhp bonus is trivial, and resistance bonuses are only remotely valuable when you already have a lot of resistance to add them to, which, obviously, a Mastermind does not - not that their resistance hard caps are high enough for it to matter anyway.
Could we get some of these changed to something relevant, like Defense, which at least gives a feasible boost to survivability when stacked, or recovery, for the end. heavy secondaries? -
1. Don't be stupid.
2. Don't be an *** -
Quote:My Honest bet is that GW would come down hard on Mako and Scorpion, her existence is tied to Arachnos so she has a vested interest it not letting it fall apart, and she has enough power to lay down the law in a major way before things fell apart to much, and I would imagine she would take no guff from anyone like Recluse sort of does, Mako and BS start squabbling she Soul Storms both of them and makes it clear that she won't tolerate childish behavior and the next one to open their mouth gets Soul Stormed permanently.Originally Posted by ChaosAngelGeno
I don't think so. There are major implications if Recluse dies. For example Ghost Widow. Her spirit is bound to the Arachnos organinzation as whole, if Arachnos dies which very well could if Recluse dies, she dies. Scirocco, was not always evil might shift alignment. Then imagine Grandville without Recluse. It's like Apokolips without Darkseid. Grandville would be a site of civil war, certainly between Mako and Black Scorpion who despise one another. Sure, maybe The Weaver returns...who knows. You really NEED Recluse there just keep Grandville civil...ish.

But that's what all villains are
Megamind: Oh, you're a villain all right. Just not a super one.
Titan: Oh yeah? What's the difference?
Megamind: PRESENTATION! -

Quote:why? you can't go into Cim until 35 anyways and its not like there is anything in the MC that actually matters with the new tram system.Originally Posted by AzureSkyCiel
what about rogue redsiders who'd like to be able to access the place early instead of needing to wait 20 more levels?

An annoying change to be sure, but you know what you want access to midnighter club on a character do the work for it. I have on every character I own, not once taking the shortcut to do it.

I would have done it much the same, except instead of the power absorption being the thing that killed states, I would have had him stood against Incarnate powered Wade after losing his powers and get killed in the fight.

You guys looked up to statesman?
I think I need to sit down. -
So..in 80+ years of life stateman never learned to be aware of his surroundings?
its to late to trade in for a smarter main hero isn't it? -
Isn't the enforcer version of assault an auto power?

Umbra Beast looks like high damage, but High probably of Squish.

Quote:That's how it could have happened...but what about this!Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
It was never the narrator.
Then again, there wasn't a narrator.
Possiblities are :
Miss Scarlet
Mrs. Peacock
Or pretty much everyone but Mr. Green & Professor Plum, including the butler, Wadsworth. -
When my tray fills up eat anything that is not a T-3 or a mez protection one on a squishy.

Trick Arrow/ or Sonic/anything Mastermind will be a very difficult character.
Bots/TA - outside of having a poor power choice early, Personal attack or flash arrow, Bots is probably the best set to use TA with as a MM. The Protector bots cover the lack of buffs/heals that TA has, and OSA arrow + Assault bot's Firepatch = Lots of Death.
as for sonic, I have a Necro/Sonic MM at level 30 right now that is very powerful, once 32 hits the self healing minions with 40% resistances should rarely die outside of AVs and Incarnate Content. -

Is it just me or is there some cognitive dissonance from seeing Captain America speaking German?

Quote:I know one thing that is different, Island Chains in the COHverse apparently can move around to a place that is convenient for the current plot.Originally Posted by BrandX
One problem with this idea.
CoH Earth isn't RL earth.
For one thing, CoH Rhode Island is bigger than RL Rhode Island, due to the massive earthquake that opened up new real estate and of course, revealed the CoT.
Who knows what else could be different! :O -
