I approve of this teaser and all it represents.

I repeatedly see here people just blaming the players for not inherently knowing the names of all the PLAYER created channels.
I continue to contend, it is about being polite. Using Help as a global chat channel may well be disrupting more players than it helps.
It only goes on, because you let it.Quote:Originally Posted by Infernus_Hades
It goes on forever, how many tabs am I supposed to have in my UI?
In answer to this - 1, if you want. I know I have my most watched channels (from multiple servers) on a single tab. No different, I imagine, in volume than watching everyone on the single help channel. -
Quote:Keep in mind, some of us built and leveled our first Dark Armor characters before IOs even existed. And my answer wouldn't be any different before or after. It was a great set before IOs, and it is a ton of fun with them.Originally Posted by William_Valence
As to Dark's standing vs other sets? IDK, but if comparisons are made it's best to be mindful about not considering IO's as a part of a set's balance. I.E using the Theft of Essence proc, recovery/+maxend, or IO softcapping as a consideration toward Dark's standing in balance considerations between the sets.

In short, no.
Good answers abound further up the thread.
Dark Armor rocks and even talking about touching it scares me. -

To be honest, I hope not. I've heard that rumor but I think this is where Marvel could make a big mistake. Trying to shoe horn a relative unknown super hero out to the masses could kill what they've worked for up to this point. I'm not saying bringing him into something like another Avengers movie would be a problem but trying to anchor a movie around someone like that... I'm just not sure it's the right decision. The reason Marvel's movies have really worked so far is that the characters they've chosen have been big name characters that are ALMOST household names. Thor in my opinion was pushing it, but they did really well with it. So maybe I'm wrong but if all of a sudden we have a movie for every bit character then you chance running off the viewers. I mean at this point I like looking at Scarlet Johansen as Black Widow, but I can't see her in a solo movie, anyone remember Cat Woman?
All this is coming from a guy who would love to have a Luke Cage and DEMANDS a Deadpool movie...
Can't argue with you, at all. Double down on the fact that Antman never did anything for me.
But, for fans of that character - some hope. -
Quote:As perhaps some salve on that wound, I read there is an Antman movie in consideration to join the stable.Originally Posted by The Lone Hero
Three things that has me a bit disappointed:
1. No Antman
2. No Wasp
3. No Scarlet Witch
I'm pretty sure Antman and Wasp were part of the founding members along with Thor, Ironman and Hulk. They both came before Captain America even, who didn't join until Issue 4 of the original 1960s comics. -
There is another thread taking a deep dive at this, focused on scrapper numbers but some good info to apply to tankers.
EDIT: that thread is for Street Justice which is what I initially read the ST (single target) as, rather than StJ.
For scrappers StJ is looking at being a top end option, and that may translate similarly to Tanks. -
I would toss Fire/Pain Corrs in the mix too for some chaotic fun.

Quote:Depends on how you were 'discussing' them, and I understood from the indicated post that the discussion may not have been civil... And speech of that nature is not so covered. (ignoring, for a moment, that the Free of Speech and Expression is not a global right...)Originally Posted by Brigg
See? This makes me sad. And Celestial, I've seen you around in VIP channels, so it's not like your voice is lost or anything, but I feel like removing the Help channel makes you miss out on some good stuff. And some of these debates on the Help channel are rather interesting and sometimes a nice change of pace from the xp grind. And sometimes, there is some genuinely useful information that comes across there.
As for a Religion discussion, it's been a long time since I've read the EULA but I'm thinking discussing religion would be covered in Freedom of Speech and Expression. -

I really hope your not joking...that would be SO much fun.
Some nice screenshots as I recall.
Search fu failed me, though.
EDIT: found some about it in the PAX report
RE-EDIT: and from a U-Stream -
I can't get past the fact that there are 50 superhero movies even worth talking about...

Quote:Well, the completely un-boring baseball got me to forget that this was on at all, and I didn't record it.Originally Posted by Dark One
I was concerned tonight...I thought TN was going to be getting the Firefly treatment. Namely, the fact that boring-*** baseball was still on at ~8pm Central. Thankfully, Fox actually pushed everything back an hour to allow TN to show. I imagined they'd go straight to House rather than show TN.

So, with the threads about the top end damage StJ puts out, and the discussions of not extending the range of the AoEs for fear of nerfing the nice damage of those powers, and all the fanboi love for the animations and just plain fun of the set....
This thread is still going, too?
What a mad, mad world Paragon is. -
Quote:Would it be nice if there was a true global channel for these sorts of things: yes.Originally Posted by Infernus_Hades
So we blame the PLAYERS because we only have 1 global channel?
We don't have a LFT channel - which in an MMO should be the FIRST channel we get.
The solution you all recommend is private channels? These have size limits correct? Global open has no size limit, nor do you have to seek the approval of the monitors of the channel.
The fact that people laugh and have fun in the channel is a GOOD thing, not a bad one. I often answer help questions with tells and that removes the help conversation from general chat. I do this since after one help answer a 45 minute diatribe by someone on the "correct" answer started.
You don't see the whole elitist attitude this thread evokes? You would rather delete the tab than help someone. I can say with certainty I never pass a day playing that I have not been able to help someone through this channel.
We need a LFT channel and a general channel and then you could say please use Help for help and otherwise go to this channel.........since we don't have these players use what they have.
However, the Help Channel defaults into the Global tab that includes things I am watching as I play - like NPC dialogue, badges, drops, and other personal game oriented activities. Would I like it if it wasn't cluttered with junk: yes.
It isn't elitist. It is polite.
And yes, as a consequence, when I am on Exalted - or other servers that have this behavior - I remove Help from my Global tab and I miss legimitate help requests that I do help with on servers that get by fine without cluttering the help channel with a terrible signal/noise ratio.
It is easy to find a team, or a trial, or help, or conversation with a few hundred others in a so-called limited channel (or 2 or 3). It is not some horrid drastic thing. Really. It works fine. -
Whatever it is, I propose we call it

Quote:Yes, they were horrid. Really bad.Originally Posted by Gunbunny
Thanks for the explanation and thanks for making sure that this elegant solution is used instead of those horrible earlier ideas.
I for one welcome our locked hospital doors. -
Sit in a crowd, hit spinning strike, bulk of crowd gets smacked...
It feels fine to me. And recharges fast. I approve of what it is doing.
Try to buff it, gonna lose recharge, or increase endurance cost, or something.
Leave it be. -
I made a point of noting the dedicated channels in help one evening, and got jumped on by someone bemoaning the lack of an actual global channel and how stupid it was the other 'globals' were capped at 150. When I pointed out there were 160 in Exalted United at the time it didn't even slow him down.
Ultimately I removed help from all but the help tab (which I never have up).
On the plus side, Exalted United was up over 175 within a few minutes after my posts... so maybe I helped some. -
Quote:You need to run Monty anyway to get Cim access, and after his first mission he will recommend a contact.Originally Posted by Wing_Leader
Thanks to the DFB trial, my new brute outleveled her Atlas Park contact before ever taking any missions from her. Now that contact is inactive, and visiting her does not cause her to pass me on to a new contact.
Consequently, my brute is 12th level and only has one contact (Montague Castanella). This makes mission selection extremely limited. What am I supposed to do in order to unlock the usual lineup of Steel Canyon and Skyway City contacts? -
Quote:Not entirely. It is an assault secondary that is generally a pretty unique mix in this game. They get a fair bit of melee selections and some nice damage scaling with them, but there are ranged powers, also.Originally Posted by EnigmaBlack
I don't play Dom's but don't they have melee secondaries?

Quote:Sure, but they admited that they couldn't get it right visually and punted to energy blast.Originally Posted by Supernumiphone
They'd have to do something new and interesting with it, since they already designed a water blast set once and it's in the game now.
That's why I think the appearance of the new wet auras show they've been trying to get the visuals right for a long asked for power. -
My personal guess includes some form of Water Control.
The recent introductions of the slime and boils aura tell me there have been efforts to work on liquid animations/graphics...
...so I leap to conclusions for fun and profit. -
Quote:I have found that if you play with the color choice you can succeed in toning that one down a lot.Originally Posted by Nyx
I guess what Im saying is, that EA would be Super-Coolrific if I could turn off at least the tier 3 shield...which is super by the way and I love it! Except for the giant blob I have become!
So, my suggestion is to give the option to turn off some of the effects!
Otherwise...Im pretty happy with it.
