I've been soloing....
Bots/FF Mastermind. It kills while AFK. Great defences, sweeping through hallways with Force Bubble while the bots shoot everything up.
Fire/Kinetics....Corruptor. It's all about the speed.
Fire/Dev Blaster
SoA Crab. Pets +AoE+Defences. Works for me.
FF/energy Defender. Not very fast. Might be better at higher levels with better IO slotting. -

Personally I dont think this game needs "secret identities" as the way I see it me when I'm not sitting in this chair logged into the game is my secret identity.

That's the kind of Broken that I'm in no hurry to for them to fix. Now DE fights are Tedious, rather than Tedious And Annoying.

It's best to have both +Acc and +ToHit, of course.
Go ahead and open up your combat monitor to monitor your ToHit, both with and without your Dargeting Trone doggled on. Doggled off, it should be 75%.
Check the monitor to see your Accuracy. This will tell you how much total accuracy you have via set bonuses only, pretty much. Add this to how much accuracy you have slotted in each power.
Personally, I'd would recommend keeping at least 35% Accuracy (via a total of set bonuses AND the enhancements) in your powers at a minimum.
Having more means that your Blaster (unless another AT got the Tevices set without telling me
) can more reliably hit higher level foes.
All teasing aside, +1% ToHit is more valuable than +1% Accuracy, but it's always good to have more! -
With the amount of time spent on lighting skyrockets launched from one's crotch and toy cars hidden in inapproriate places in previous movies, I would think that 3-D's "jumpin' right at ya!" effect would not be a desired effect for an offering of the Jackass movie franchise.
Gawd, are we living in an era when the phrase "Jackass movie franchise" is actually used? Screw 2012, just end the world NOW!

They do that a bunch too.
Not that I can blame them. The breeze wafting 'bout my nethers is particularly invigorating.
Also: I do not wish to borrow your chair, as it sounds like it may have had considerable contact with thine nethers.

With Going Rogue, we got a nice new feature called Pop Help which sits conveniently out of the way on the side of the screen until you have a moment to read it at your leisure. Or, even better, if you've read it before, you can just turn it off and not deal with it.
However, not all pop-ups work like this. We still get stuff like "OMG YOU GOT YOUR FIRST TIP READ ME NAO" popping up smack dab in the middle of the screen in the middle of combat. The LAST thing I want to do is read about how amazing my first piece of salvage is while a boss is trying to two-shot my squishy. So, every and all pop-up type of help that tells you about some thing that just dropped needs to be converted into pop help. Get it out of our faces in mid-combat and let use read it when we want to. Or just disable it after we've seen the box twenty times.
The pop-help needs to be expanded to new contacts as well. Sorry Montague, but it's rather rude of you to pop up in the middle of my screen screaming "HALP MEH PLZ!" just because I hit level 10. Especially if I'm still fighting. Have these notices appear in a similar fashion to pop-help. In fact, while we're at it, let's delete all those "Hey, go talk to PvP dudes/Jim/Marino/My Cat before I give you real tasks" missions and have those contacts get notices in pop-help like all these others. Using the pop-help for both of these systems and dumping those needless Fed Exes would really streamline a few parts of the game.
As for the "Your first piece of salvage!! OMG YAY!!" pop-up whenever my umpteenth alt hits L4? Reword the pop-up a bit and have it wait until the next mission exit/entrence, when I'll be out of combat, barring a "hot door" or an ambush. Better yet, have me only see it once. Ever.
If I got the "sold X number of salvage" badge or any of the crafting badges on another character, chance are that I know what salvage is. -

The same way they have to learn to walk, which is the default travel method of humans - or learn to talk, which is the default communication method of humans.
Selfish is what they do if no adults show them how to behave. -

Quote:1) Sounds Good.Originally Posted by Charcoal_EU
1. Mountains. With hidden caves, ancient ruins/monasteries, hightech super-organization bases (example) and so on.
2. Shadow shard improvement (not revamp as such, only adds stuff). Add a villain base in one of the zones. The previously mentioned Arachnos carrier/spaceship would be great. And add story contacts of 'hero', 'villain' and 'both' varieties. Sort of like pvp zones but without pvp (or make it optional, hmm*).
3. Scary ancient ruins. Think R'lyeh, though the aquatic angle is not mandatory.
4. A desert. On Mars. After Praetorian invasion Recluse has decided he needs a second power base and established an outpost on the red planet. Aliens are discovered and/or arrive and he invites ALL supers to help "defend humanity". Yes, a co-op zone hosted by a villainous faction - good for the 'gray' feel the devs have been going for lately.
* Perhaps revamp the least used pvp zones (Sirens Call and Bloody Bay, I guess) to this model? More/better missions/arcs than the current repeat-ables but pvp is optional.
2) Sounds Good.
3) I like it, particularly with the R'lyeh mention. Make sure that the ruins are definately non-human in origin.
4) The deserts of Mars? Sign me up! I already have a character for that!
Rather than a PvP or Co-Op zone, I'd go "competitive PvE", maybe using the zone Buff/DeBuffs used from doing door missions in PvP zones. -
The Costume missions (Hunt 30 $faction) and Aura missions could be dropped entirely and replaced with something better that unlocks both at the same time.

Another thing you can do is create a Macro button that uses the Goto_tray command.
For a Force Fields Defender I have, the first tray is all attacks and a button labeled "Buff"
Hitting that button swaps Tray 1 to tray 9, which is Aid Other, the FF teammate bubbles and a button labelled "Attk" which swaps me back to tray 1. -
Quote:I could see adding church-like buildings. Have the architecture, including the bell-towers, stained glass, minarets, whatever, but leave off the actual religious symbols and have the signs out front be either illegible or have extremely vague wording.Originally Posted by Zyphoid
Now that I think about it, there are no gas stations or Churches/places of worship either. Very odd.
Now as a disclaimer. As a game designer, I can see why the Kids, and churches were left out. If there are children, then they can be put in danger, and that might make some people upset. Same with churches, don't want to step on any religious toes. Even with that, the loss of these things take away some of the immersion.
You know it's a church, but there's no cross and I can't read that sign.
Gas stations! (I can hand-wave this, since there's more than enough super-scientists and power-armor users and such that it's almost a given that cars with alternate fuels are available. How much money would Crey be making off of something like this? They got the resources and the manufacturing facilities!)
We have all these cars, yet there's no auto dealerships either. -

Jackass is retarded. Only in america would people pay to see that crap. The jackass guy is more stupid than jeff foxworthy.
A) Jeff Foxworthy is getting a paycheck from hosting a game show, some merchandising related to his earlier stand-up and occasionally going back to stand-up.
B) The cast of Jackass is getting a paycheck from putting together a movie (feel free to quible over the word "movie", but it's shown on the big screen, took very little money to make and will show at the same price as whatever else you would be watching at the local CinemaPlex)
Also, Johnny Knoxville occasionally gets supporting actor roles in other movies.
C) Hundreds of people send in home video footage (50% of which is nut-shots) to America's Funniest Home Videos hoping for a chance (no guarantee!) for a cash prize.
or.....
D) Anything on the YouTube found under "Drunk", "Moron" or "..off of roof", which render zero paycheck.

Quote:Crabs are good at using pets (two sets from thier primary, plus one from thier Patron), having ranged attacks (particularly some decent AoE) and Leadership-style defenses. Don't skip the Leadership defensive toggles!Originally Posted by jose2390
My arachnos is lvl 14 atm. I'm planing on becoming a crab soldier. I read that they can have pets (I love playing a character with pets btw) Last night, someone told me that you can balance it out. You can choose the crab but you can also have some bane powers. Is this true? I thought that once u become a crab, you can only select crab powers. Can someone explain to me in detail the difference between the 2 classes? If I can mix both sets up, that will be awesome. Thanks
They have some melee attacks, but most builds I've seen don't focus on melee for a Crab (I skipped them, but that's me).
Banes look good at being a Scrapper/Stalker-ish melee combatant and some builds I've seen are pretty scary.
If you want to get both sets, use the "Dual Builds" option at the trainer. Note that you are stuck with the crab backpack on all costumes if one or both builds have ANY Crab powers in them.

Red doesn't look like a Comic-Book Geek movie. It looks like it caters to fans of:
Explosions and gunfights. (any action movie)
Old guys coming back to kick butt (the later Rambo movies, some of Eastwood's later movies, etc.)
Not having read the comic, if I hadn't read these forums, I wouldn't know it was a comic book movie.
Jackass looks like Jackass. I'll DVR it when it hits cable. -
Pet peeves:
1) people who cannot judge speed and distance.
2) People who tailgate in the slow lane, with no intention of passing.
3) People who do 35-45 MPH in a 55 zone where everyone else is doing 55-65. You're not being safe, you're impeding traffic. if you or your vehicle cannot maintain highway speeds, use sidestreets (if available) or put on your hazard lights (because you are a hazard) or just stay home.
Also: it's not speeding that kills, it's the people driving radically different speeds than each other.
4) We have a very large store in town sitting on a large road. (two lanes each way, plus a turn lane.) It has two exits, one of which is at a controlled intersection and the other is just a wide driveway. If you can't judge speed and distance, don't just pull out blindly across traffic.
5) People who want to tell me horror stories about motorcycle injuries. Just shut the **** up. I knew someone who died in a pickup truck that was hit by a logging truck. No one is safe. -

"They were screaming!"
"Um, well, sudden teleportation can startle people."

Ah, that's more reasonable.
You have just a few names for powers and very little description of each and what they do.
I imagine that Meteor Shower to look and act a lot like Rain of Fire from the Blaster primary set "Fire Blast".
(Maybe buffed a bit, but then it would have to be a higher tier power)
I look forward to seeing this set fleshed out.
Which AT is it meant for as a Primary? Blasters, Controllers, Defenders?
I'm envisioning this as "You have control of (or hold within you) powers from the outer reaches of space." You could grab from Luminous Blast (PB), Radiation Blast, Radiation Emission and Gravity Control with this concept.
