  1. Have to agree with Lothic on this.

    Though some of their choices don't tend to have their own solo tiles now. Wasp being a noted one.

    Also, some of these suggestions are likely tied to Sony or Fox. Dazzler and quite possibly Firestar since she's a mutant likely are tied in with Fox.

    I'd love to see some of these made into movies for sure! Marvel Girl, Spider-Girl, and She-Hulk for sure!

    They'd need some good writing though. Having a female lead has obsticles to get over. Catwoman & Electra bombing doesn't help anything. Then there's the male going audience who might not care for the female lead.

    Not to mention some of the political garbage it would have to get over, and if it bows down to that, fan outcry.

    Risky for those who make the movies.

    So, yes, consider me /signed and then some.
    Agreed!

The devs are not opposed to hearing our opinions and even do implement them, but we as a group can not go off guns ablazin.

    So let's keep discussing this and maybe come to a agreement.

    It will not hurt me at all to be disagreed with on some of my ideas, but they are options we can consider.
    Problem with the momentum mechanic, is it would likely be seen as...

    1) Way to time consuming to be worth while

    2) It's more a powerset gimmick than a whole AT specific gimmick (outside of a possible new Epic AT)

    Sadly also, there likely isn't going to be a 100% agreed upon solution.

    In fact, one suggestion of increasing Tankers Damage cap, is less about teaming, and more about allowing a fringe case of Tanker powersets that can reach the cap on their own solo.

    I'm not against such a change myself, buuuut, it's also not a change that will help Tankers as a whole.

    Some people still don't care for StJ's combo system. Some people haven't bought StJ for various reasons.

    From a ST DPS pov, StJ is only better on Stalkers. For the other melee types, the ST DPS comes out pretty even last I recall.

    Not to mention Tankers get +Defense from Storm Kick.

    Though, if they'd finally let MA slot CaK with Defense Debuff sets, I think MA would pull a head (if only slightly) in the ST DPS.

    StJ would have a bit more AOE, MA would have the ST (for the most part).

    Though should be said, not everyone takes Sweeping Cross. So while StJ's Targetted AOE is higher damage (at just 2 seconds longer recharge than MA's PBAOE) the sets are close enough to not matter all that much (again, only on Stalkers does StJ really come out ahead).

    And while you could mix and match the power animations, some just might make the choice of powerset on name alone even with interchangable animations.

    Martial Arts just gives off a different Vibe than Street Justice.

    I know I'd love to use Storm Kick, Eagle's Claw, Rib Cracker, Spinning Strike (and alternate animation it with Dragon's Tail) and Heavy Blow, all on one character, for a nice mix of fist and kick attacks.
  5. The suggestion needs to be said again, since it's been so long since it's been said!

    Make their animations work for each other! Let us mix and match! This would create some really good variety in the fighting styles for those who use the sets!

    Crushing Uppercut animation versus Eagle's Claw
    Storm Kick animation versus Initial Blow

    Make this happen please!
  6. Sounds like what needs to be done then, is have Paragon Studios spam those inactive accounts with emails saying "If you're not going to login anymore, please login to delete your characters and free up the names for active users"

    It's arrived! Been waiting a long time for this one! Worth the wait in my opinion, as I think it came out perfectly! Commission of Jessica (BrandX) and her girlfriend Emmalynn by ViolateKate

    I'd know, if it's a name I check on regularly.

    I think Maxx was less asinine and just not developed enough in the long run. Happened to a lot of 90's comics sadly.

    We lose family friends and even life in extremes.

    and now, -it seems- as if DC is trying to cash in on that as if its some form of novelty?

    I dunno, am I seeing too much here? Am I looking too hard? Taking it too seriously?

    Or do I have a point?
    You looking into it way to much. Really what it is, is them trying to cash in on the craze of groups saying such things as "Why aren't these group of people making up half the superheroes?" "Why are these characters dressed this way?"

    When they should be asking "If we had it that way, would you start buying it?"

    Which of course the answer is "No."

    Two guys. Naked. And your first thought is drugs?

    Why not instead, two guys meet in a club, hit it off, and step outside, when an undiagnosed tumor causes the future attacker to lose it and turns sucking face into eating face?

    Cuz spending/not spending money the core of your argument in this quote.
    They on the other hand are at least playing and more than likely giving teamage to someone or making the game look more populated to the VIP.

    heh Just saying, people may enjoy it.

    Haven't seen it myself. But I'm also not the big Burton/Depp fan, when it comes to their movies together.

    Well so much for me going to see Dark Shadows. I'll guess I'll try MIB 3
    I know people who saw it and enjoyed it.

    Really, you should make up your own mind on seeing it

    If it lacks Michael Keaton, it won't be as good!

    True. But a current subscriber is much more wlikely to continue offering money than one who's already left and been gone for over three years.

  23. With sidekicking, what exactly is the problem with being a few levels off?

    Not that I hope the LP doesn't return, just curious as to why it matters.
