I'm not a fan of shields either. Or rather, I'm a fan of the set, but not how the set was implemented.
The set is fun and awesome. I just know it's fun an awesome.
But has me going "Since when has Shield use been a popular super power?"

With you 100% on this. I wish shields were a cosmetic item only, and that you could use the powerset without the shield or use the shield with a different powerset.

Just so everyone knows: Per an announcement during today's Facebook Friday, Titan Weapons will be available for testing on the Training Room as soon as that version of the Paragon Market is brought back online.

Assault...true, we haven't gotten anything in that vein in a while, but I'm guessing the dom changes are coming with either 21.5 or 22, either way, we know something is in the works. Probably including a new Assault set.
Pet sets, we did just get Demon Summoning with the GR launch, and that was extremely time consuming for the devs. Factor in all of the craziness with the Freedom launch, and I wouldn't expect anything in that category until next year at the earliest, personally.
I just think it's disingenuous to say that they're in a 'melee rut', when clearly they have not only been churning out melee sets, and in fact, 2 of the 3 most recently released powersets were not melee sets.

There still isn't some sort of weird 'melee rut' with new powersets, though.

I also have to disagree with Titanic Weapons looking "realistic." We have enough realistically-proportioned weapons in the game. The point of having this set is to have absurdly oversized weapons, even if they look impossible to wield. I'm sure there's something to be said about weight balance, but the fact of the matter is I want a sword with a long, thick blade. What's on the picture is more than thick enough, but as it stands right now, the Legacy Broadsword has a longer blade and, therefore, a longer reach. I maintain that that hilt length is good, but I want to see weapons with longer blades by quite a bit. I also maintain that I want to see a sword with a blade as wide as my character is at the shoulders and as long as my character is tall at least up to the neck, with any hilt beyond that sticking above my character's head. Because that's what the original Buster Sword in that one teaser pic we got months and months ago looked like. It had a much different hilt-to-blade ratio. I can't find the screenshot to comment on it now, but it wasn't anywhere near as close to being 1:1. |
I think they look pretty close. I think you're a victim of an optical illusion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertica...ontal_illusion

There may be other examples before that too though... Not sure!

I actually think ridiculously oversized weapons work much better in a superhero game than they do in fantasy games or anime. These are characters that actually are supposed to have the superhuman strength to lift a massive weapon and swing it around.
I haven't picked up street justice because I don't play melee characters very often; I suspect I'll end up getting titan weapons first. Probably not when it's first released and everyone is running around with them though.

The thing about telling all tankers that you know for a fact that most of them don't care, and you only speak for the few because they won't speak up for themselves, is that the most likely situation is you're wrong, and have simultaneously flipped off most of the people who you claim to represent.
That's pretty much the definition of doing it wrong.

That's just common sense.
If you owned a steak house that served terrible steaks and you walked into it on a Friday night and asked the vegetarians at the salad bar (who now make up 90% of the clientele) why they hate the place, they're going to tell you they don't and that the steaks are fine as is.

I'm a casual player. I don't play a tractor to finance my other ATs; I play a Tank to help my Team. I don't get wrapped around numbers, I don't farm (although sometimes I mob grind, perhaps a bit slower than some ATs). I have fun playing. Period. End of story.
The reason I keep my mouth shut in the Tank forums is because I got tired of being brow-beaten by someone who saw no joy in tanking, but only created joyless posts about all of the flaws of the AT, instead of its benefits. I kept my mouth shut because I was tired of being the casual guy who got drowned out by the diatribe of a poster who elected himself as an advocate of that AT through sheer number of words and posts. I stopped posting there because I was tired of debating posts that advocated buffs to an AT through derision of the very AT for which the poster supposedly advocated.
Johnny, if you're happy playing Brutes, more power to you. But if you're going to continually "advocate" for tanks while simultaneously insulting the very part of the playerbase you're trying to help, then yes, you are indeed doing it wrong, and you've been doing it wrong for years. The only reason I viewed your post despite you being on my ignore list was because, after being on hiatus for a bit (in part due to the above), I wanted to see if you had actually realized that your style of advocation wasn't doing anyone any favors. I'm sad to say that isn't the case.
Frankly, I think Tanks would be better represented by Jack Thompson. At least that guy is more even-keeled.
There's an alarming shortage of macros depicting a train derailed from hitting a dead horse. I demand someone makes one.
Am I the only one who saw the pic and immediately thought 'need a Stalker Catgirl NAO'?
Aaaah, Titan Weapons...
Give me a ruddy great big axe with blades the size of dinner tables and I'll be happy.
Give me a warhammer the size of a small car and I'll be even happier.
I'll be rerolling toons in their 30's for this.

What about alternate animations?

I would love a set of alternate animations where my character model doesnt touch the swords at all. Instead he could do various mental or spellcaster animations while the weapon, which floats (or gloats
Basically they need a psychic / Telekinesis Titanic weapon set of animations, so I can make my Wizard who mentally wields a Black Blade Of Disaster. And my fire armor and fire epic on my Wizard could be my Fire Shield and Fireball spells. Yeah. Psychic Warrior Archmagi Brute for the awesome!
