Aw...no more Gun-Swords...

The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

He was easily the squishiest hostage I'v ever had to rescue - his captors having AoE attacks didn't help either

And yet you felt compelled to post, and add nothing to the conversation.

Personally, I think it's a bad idea. It was originally pitched on test on January 4th, there have been three weeks for feedback on this issue.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Let's hope this kind of mishap doesn't happen with the Incarnate Level Shifts! Would be dire news for MM's!

In the game, putting the name of the power in square brackets -- [ and ] -- will give you a description and details window. Example: [Hammer of Justice] will show you Statesman's Hammer of Justice attack (where he slams his fist into the ground damaging and knocking back foes).

So, in this case, [Gravity Control.Dimension Shift] (or just [Dimension Shift]) tells us that it is a Ranged, Targeted Area of Effect, Foe Intangible. Description: Your mastery of gravity allows you to manipulate dimensions, bringing multiple foes out of sync with reality. Your foes become completely intangible, and cannot affect or be affected by those in normal space.

No, it was not a joke. The power would activate, the player's endurance would be deducted, but the target would not become intangible. Even a target that was not running any shields and/or toggles and the caster was as buffed with ToHit buffs (Fortitude, Tactics, etc.) would not land this attack.

Aeon vs. Television?
Uhm, okay | Get Mashed!
I'm Tanking / Bruting so get familiar with my hand signals.

Don't worry, I'm sure it will be toned down enough to be as ineffective as other controller powers in pvp.

Rescue PPD in tunnels: [2nd mission in praetoria]

The map now used for this is the VERY small 2 room tunnel map instead of those stairs that they always seem to get stuck on.

@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

And you felt compelled to bash her for asking, also adding nothing to the conversation!

I think it's also the content for I19.5, plus the next booster pack - possibly

BackAlleyBrawler: I can't facepalm this post hard enough.
ShoNuff: If sophisticated = bro-mantically emo-tastic, then I'm going to keep to my Shonen loving simplicity dammit.

No, because I care a lot about it myself. Especially for my demon MM whose pets can't make up their minds. Not knowing which one to toss buffs on was getting old (same with my merc MM, who I could never tell if I should heal "the medic" or not).

Woman, please.

RWZ arcs. Rescue diplomats from Nemesis.
General Aarons, the man who things he can pistol-whip Fake Nem bosses to death.

Your arguement is so invalid...

Not at my friend, not at all.

It's nice that you fixed that and all, but I think pets becoming unresponsive after zoning whether it be city zones or even missions is still a problem. It happened to me last night again, so any ideas when that is gonna get fixed?

I was just the opposite, giving us the next tier alphas and then throwing down a double XP weekend would be one big mixed message. Playing 50's to slot the next tiers would defeat the entire purpose of having a double XP weekend. I am glad it will come later personally.
