  1. Ok, here goes...

    The level of intelligence issue... I thought of Rain Man. Hear me out. An idiot Savant(sp?). Highly intelligent, yet the through put, or way of expressing said intelligence is gated and impaired. Think of, "it's right on the tip of my tongue" moments. Or lean towards Einstein, brilliant, but can't tie his shoes.

    Sex... A-sexual. Go plant based. This is a ironic twist to being scared or confused by nature. Also can allow for what AT...

    The AT... Stalker. Fearful and easily confused, leads to fight or flight. Stealth and deception can allow for a superstitious race to avoid most threats perceived or otherwise.

    I guess what I'm getting at is, look at how animals (insects and plants) react to their surroundings. Even the higher intelligent ones are bound by instinct.

    Just my 2 cents
  2. Stuck on a name? Add something to it!

    Flame Guy taken? Jazz it up with these handy additives!

    A "." Either before (.Flame Guy) or after (Flame Guy.) Make a statement with a "."!
    Go extreme with "X". xXFlame GuyXx now that says "XTREME!"
    Be devilish with the mark of the beast. Flame Guy666 says "i'm evil against villiany"
    Show off your L337 skills with "FL4M3 GUY"
    Be political with your herbal friendly "Flame Guy420" or "Chronic Flame Guy"
    What you need is a little space. "F l a m e G u y" has more awkward pauses than a Jeff Goldblum speech.

    So get out there heroes (or villians) and make your mark on mediocrity! If not you, then whoever... Just make sure you park that name so one else can snag it.

    Self-PLing?

    Check the AE for farm missions. If the date is more than, say, 4 months old... Then it may not be an acceptable up to date farm. Experiment, find or create your own farm mission. Check the Mission Architect forum for pointers.

    Could have "Sand Blast" attack that would blind (disorient) the target, would be kinda neat.
    I was picturing the snipe using the javelin toss the Romans use... Like an intercontinental ballistic hail Mary! Of course with an immobilize in it, like pinning themvto the ground like a demonic lawn dart.
  5. If they make a Stone Manipulation secondary for blasters, they should sure as heck make a Stone Blast set. THAT would be awesome... Subsonic stone javelins and exploding volcanic boulders.... YES!
  6. Yay! Congratulations.

    Have a look at your "Map" and be sure that the legend has the map icons turned on. That should help you make your way around the city zones easier. Also, look at your "Contact" menu. There are people there that can give missions and some can even teleport you to them. Get yourself used to these two functions. Both of these are located as dropdown menus on the "Navigation" window centered on the top of your screen.

    Never be afraid to ask for help, either here on the forums, in the "help" channel, or from a player in game. There is a lot of quirks to the game so immediate mastery is not inherent.

    Again, welcome to the game! Have fun!
  7. I too have a Dark/Stone Dom and went with sand(ish) coloring for the dark. One thing about the stone, it likes your blue bar. I lvl'd an Elec/stone Dom and got spoiled with electric's end return. Damage (st particularly) makes stone a beast for doms. I went soul mastery for extra damage.

    I can't comment on iTrial stuff, haven't started that with either Dom, sorry. Have fun brutalizing things with stone.

    Pets, just Pets.

    I'm looking at a Merc/Pain for pure theme reasons. No attacks from the primary and only Soothe and maybe share pain if it works on pets. The bulk of powers will come from the pool powers; leadership, a travel (teleport maybe), hasten, heal other(maybe), stealth. Then if it goes well, incarnate powers... Perhaps no judgement though.

    Was thinking of making a Psychic Blast/Pain corruptor to play as the MM when not using her minions... Get a character in two story lines at once

    Pets, just Pets.

    Ok, I've heard of "petless" MMs, but has anyone done the opposite? Using just the primary summon and buff powers (and power pool choices) constructed a workable MM?

    I have a concept for a character that is a complete shut in. Interacting with the world through his minions. I would play off his "presence" as a subtle holographic projection or mental projection (making use of the stealth/invisibility pool powers). Using Hasten, Leadership, and a few secondary like the single target heals from Pain Dom or even O2 boost... But nothing to directly affect the enemy. No debuffs, direct damage from my character. Just powers to passively effect my minions (single target heals and leadership for concept, mental linking or cybernetic bound and all).

    Is this something that is workable, or am I stacking the deck against myself a little too much?
  10. Good morning Marvels (well it is morning for me)! Has the game completed downloading yet?
  11. Try the test transfer (ie: transfer to test) and see how it goes. I have to agree with the "senior rep", don't try it... Unknown territory.
  12. Not aware of a compiled black list of words... I guess it's just a "best judgement" kind of thing. I would think to avoid "damn" but perhaps "the Damned Electric Bill" might be good, due to the fact that there is an enemy called "Damned". Just a thought. Oh, use the title "the" to save space.

  14. WT(Holy)H!

    That better be an accidental Omega slot leak.
  15. "having been in a "when all else fails" situation, I've found the next suggested option also fails."
  16. so the cake is not done... Well, you can jump into the character creator as it finishes loading stage 4. Come on, dig into the frosting... Have fun

    I24 hopes?

    A new LFG trail based on the Praetorian aftermath... Smashing all the remaining clockwork and warworks. Could call it Disfunctional Automaton Beatdown... Or the DaB trail to keep in the D_B flow of the trail naming as it is.
  18. Welcome to the game!

    Think of the long download like a yummy cake baking. Once it is done, enjoy every bite!

    But I digress... Blasters(ranged attacks) getting a tweak is always a good thing... I am intrigued.
  20. There is a player that I saw recently that came back to the game... He played a character named Hairband Rocker. The character always spoke with little musical notes preceding and ending everything typed. I loved that character, and it wasn't even mine

    I would love to see this powerset find it's way into the players hands.

    Brother Psyche will turn up eventually...

    Motorcycles!

    If I put together enough footage trom Ghost Rider and quality Bahli-wood action flicks depicting motorcycles zooming across lakes, streams, oceans and lagoons. Then presented this to the dev team with cookies, I could sway them to ditch this notion of "terrain issues".

    Also, I want a unicycle riding ostrich as a travel power... I have an awesome character idea.

    Motorcycles!

    I for one want to see supers screaming across the landscape atop their steely twin wheeled hogs. Capes streaming behind them as they power slide up to Ms Liberty. Who cares about terrain issues... Let the bikes cruise across water and flip off in game physics while turning... Ghost Rider can do it and he's considered a "superhero".
  24. Kudos to you! Reminds me of a character I was playing that only used brawl and crafted temp powers. Kinda went with a Casey Jones idea. I hadn't yet gotten him temp powers from missions, but I loved playing him, solo all the way to 15 when i shelved him. (i'm an altoholic) I might dust him off.

    Keep us aprised of your jump kick brute.
