    You did however miss the entire point of my OP. I DID NOT say to stop working on dual blades. I said to make it a villain (brute and stalker) only power because the taking of human lives goes against the super hero code and Paragon Cities own "Citizen Crime Fighting Act of 1937".

    Why are you still harping on this? It states heroes can act as cops. Cops kill all the time. Often because they like it. It's been covered. You have no valid point against it. Quit spewing the same inane garbage if you're going to keep trolling this thread.

    hmm.. is it just me, or is a large chunk of this thread missing?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    It's a troll thread started by a troll. Of course big chunks of it will be removed.

    The words cold, dead and hands come into play when dealing with my Guinness!

    Dude try actually using a CURRENT picture of him. An old avengers comic is your proof that he uses a shield? Your joking right? You even read the comics with him in them recently? NO SHIELD. Nuff said. So just stop. Its sad.

    Someone needs a timeout.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    No, someone needs a padded cell and a thorazine drip to deal with his COMPLETE lack of a grasp on reality.

    A comic book cover and several other pictures aren't proof of a comic book character using a shield in comic books?

    Man, that's levels of stupidity I can't even fathom.
  5. Had a good time.

    Got some swag.

    Represented Pinnacle by getting a large mug of Guinness while waitin in line to get in. Had two more while I was there.

    Met Ex and several folks I'd never met before which was groovy.

    All in all, a cool time. Can't wait to see the pics, Balorn.
  6. I'd agree that MA with its one AoE and slow attacks gets less than claws or spines, but 3-5 per mission is about as probable as the earth suddenly becoming a cube.

    Try hero stats sometimes... I crit on every other enemy.

    Why don't you try hero stats?

    I call [censored] on this.

    1: I'm claws. Boatload of fast attacks.
    2: I only solo on highest diff.

    But more importantly:

    # 102.6 Lethal Damage (5% chance) if (target = player) [Non-resistable]
    # 102.6 Lethal Damage (5% chance) if ((((target = Class_Minion_Grunt) or (target = Class_Minion_Small)) or (target = Class_Minion_Pets)) or (target = Class_Minion_Swarm))
    # 102.6 Lethal Damage (10% chance) if not (((((target = Class_Minion_Grunt) or (target = Class_Minion_Small)) or (target = Class_Minion_Pets)) or (target = Class_Minion_Swarm)) or (target = player))

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Meaning, against minions, pets, etc, scrapper attacks have a 5% chance to crit. Against LTs, Bosses, EBs, AVs, GMs, we all have a 10% chance to crit.

    Low damage, high rate of attacks against non-peons, 1 out of every 10 attacks is going to crit.

    My hyperbole isn't nearly as BS related as yours.

    3-5 times a mission? Horseshit.

    Hey BAB, has there been any news lately on the development of that Psionic Weaponry set? I'd love to know if my hopes for it are at least remotely founded.

    Castle makes a strange noise whenever it's mentioned.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I KNEW it! Castle knows the truth of energy damage type in the hands of one who crits!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh yes.

    An exotic damage type would be SO overpowered with an inherent that kicks in two or three times in a mission.. if you're lucky.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I'm assuming you're being sarcastic, because if you're not, you've never played a scrapper.

    Don't get me wrong, I'd love it, but it would instantly be FOTM for PvP.

    Yes, we need moar blades, and moar lethal damage, the most resisted type of damage in the game, so we can become gimped.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yea.. those poor BS scrappers are SO gimped in PvP.

    Here, I'll make it easy.

    "The city council and mayoral elections of 1936 swept a platform of pro-hero candidates that resulted in the passage of the Citizen Crime Fighting Act of 1937. This law made it legal for vigilantes to bring criminals to justice as long as they followed the same restrictions police officers use."

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That is game lore. It serves to make the game world more alive, rooted in reality, or whatever the writers had in mind with it. It is not a binding contract detailing that every player must avoid your mentioned "killer" powersets, which I think is just about every offensive powerset in the game. Enjoy the game in your own way, but don't assume that the majority that play CoH/V give two cents about roleplaying.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And police officers kill all the time. Hell, our Austin police shoot unarmed kids in the back and fire rubber bullets into passerbys on 6th street during Halloween.

    So, sorry, Tarmac, you're completely wrong on every point you try to make.

    The point of this post is that Super Heroes DON'T kill people

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Golden age supers, maybe. These days? Killing is far more efficient than bothering with our broken judicial system.

    Super heroes do, and should, kill. It's not like the villains are going to play fair.

    2) Weren't you one of the ones that said we couldn't count AoE nerfs like ED in saying Regen got nerfed?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not that I recall. When ED hit, I was firmly on the side of "MFers nerfed my SR into oblivion with this #*&#^$*&#$^*#$!"

    It was only later that I switched sides. After the scaling dam-res. And after the critter accuracy change.
  15. So perma-DP with no enhanceable +health is equitable with non-perma-DP with enhanceable +health?

    Or are we now at IO backed perma-DP w/ enhanceable +health?

    You don't understand Geko's exquisite madness like I do. Dull Pain will never get nerfed. Removed maybe, but never nerfed. It's left alone to instill fear in us. We are meant to fear its nerfing forevermore.

    Geko is a wicked, wicked man.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well that statement 2 years ago sure went down the drain.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Dull Pain has never been nerfed. The last change to it was a buff - its +health was made 50% enhanceable. Very approximately, that buff was comparable to giving the two scrappers with dull pain (invuln and regen) brute health.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ahh, but was it not indirectly nerfed with ED?

    To all the people spouting off about the majority have voted for dual blades....I have only one word for you. Shields.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And it's been answered to several times already in this thread. Your point has been shot down.


    [ QUOTE ]

    I support OP 100%. No matter what physical blades you choose its still just lethal damage.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yet another silly point when hints were dropped that a completely new mechanism was being put in place that may add other types of damage to the blades.
  18. I did leave. And like any poor sap addicted to his crackaine, I came crawling back for another fix.
  19. Oh we're apparently still getting shields, so all that was changed by Cryptic was the order that we're getting them.

    I really hope they don't bother with shield melee. But as with all things, I don't have to choose it at character creation.

    Jeeeeeaaaaannnn...o wait wrong chick... wonder what he will cry about in the next Xmen/Wolvie movie since she is gone?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Speaking of that... in Van Helsing he does the same thing. And I swear to satan there was a third Hugh Jackman movie... ahh yes, The Prestige... has a woman die in his arms there, too.

    A clone of Wolverine. I should have guessed

    Is that the same woman that featured in the X-Men 2 movie? The one with spikes coming out of her fingers?

    Noo, that's Lady Deathstrike.
