I am therefore attempting to educate every team I run with on its effects, and I also post them here so you can do the same. Together we can stamp out ignorance one player at a time!

The Dimensional Grounding Ray removes Reichsman's Untouchable state, and stops him from using his signature abilities Sap Will and Aura of Domination. That's it. It only needs to be used ONCE. Sometimes it won't take effect immediately and you'll have to wait a few seconds after using it to begin the fight, but that one application is all it takes for the whole fight. There's no need to ensure every player gets into the fourth mission to receive a copy of the power and use every charge they have on him.

It also doesn't do anything to stop or cancel his Unstoppable.

So, remember: use it once at the start of the fight, and you're set. Using it more doesn't hurt, but don't be under the impression that it helps anything.

There's a right way and a wrong way to introduce free to play aspects to a preexisting game. A lot of people are looking at recent offerings with a very critical eye these days. There's a lot of things that companies have done well with (personally I respect what LOTRO has accomplished) and some that are missteps that the entire industry will look for ways to improve upon.

It's a personal belief that companies seeking to change their current business model should always do so with their current Communities in mind. Any sort of change should be done so that it gives your veteran (existing) players a show of appreciation and recognition of their support over the years. Yes, the prospect of expanding a Community via F2P is attractive, but the reason they're able to consider such a thing is because of their existing Community.

In addition Hero One's Excalibur has bin confirmed to draw power from the well.
This covers the potability for tech super science and natural origins to gain power from the well.

See Magical Lyrical Nanoha or for another example of this sort of magiteck.

The late game has you do things that ARE NOT within the capabilities of just a highly trained normal person. Not without disregarding the bulk of the visuals. And, yes, the Kronos Titan is a large part of that, as is Hequat. When you take an Explosive Missile Swarm to the face, shrug that off and proceed to beat down a machine roughly the size of the Atlas statue by punching it with your fists repeatedly, you've given up all pretence of normalcy. I used to have "natural human" characters once upon a time. I got rid of them all when I saw what they were supposed to be doing later in the game.

If the question here is "who purposely does NOT progress past a certain point," then that wouldn't be me. I find it to be both a gigantic waste and a profound missing of the point if one were to choose to, say, never level past 25 so he could stay at the level of the Tsoo and the Family and fight street-level crime. I mean, yeah, you can, but you're missing on 3/4 of the game.
