Quote:Villainy is so much more versatile and fun though.I roll Heroes because I get money for nothin' and the chicks for free.
I switched from villian to Hero because of the Welcome Wagon basket when I got off the sub in IP. It had cookies. Yummy white chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies. They were still warm.
Unless you're born into the role of dictator, being a bad guy IRL is pretty difficult.
And I'm playing this game to do things I normally can't do...shoot lasers at my ex-wife, drop a snowstorm on my coworkers, go invisible in the women's dressing room at Macys etc.
I switched from hero to villain because of the chumps smiling over welcome wagon baskets they received when getting off the ferry in Cap. It had cookies. Yummy white chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies. They were still warm...when I took from them.
I then...
path A - enjoy the cookies with a nice, cold glass of tears...cackling all the way back to my base.
path B - sell the cookies along with all the other stolen cookie baskets in a bakery that fronts as my evil base of operations...cackling as people come in to buy the baskets that I stole from them in the first place.
VILLAINY!
BAKERIES!
WORLD DOMINATION! -
He's pretty bad***...like a Marvel version of Darkseid, one of the more powerful bad guy icons in the DC Universe.
"Thanos is a mutant member of the race of superhumans known as the Titanian Eternals. The character possesses abilities common to the Eternals, but in some cases far beyond any other known member of his race; acquired through a combination of his mutant Eternal heritage, bionic amplification, mysticism, and the entity Death. He has demonstrated enormous superhuman strength, stamina, and particularly durability; is able to absorb and project vast quantities of cosmic energy; is virtually ageless and immortal; does not need food, drink, or oxygen; and is capable of certain telekinesis, as well as telepathy and matter manipulation. The advanced technology within his transportation chairs includes force field projection, time travel, movement through alternate universes, space flight, and teleportation over interstellar distances. Thanos is an accomplished hand-to-hand combatant, having been trained in the art of war on Titan.
Thanos possesses superhuman intellect (he considers his mind his greatest weapon) and has knowledge of Celestial and other alien technology. Thanos is a genius in virtually all known fields of advanced science and has created technology far exceeding contemporary Earth science. He is also a master strategist and sometimes utilizes a space vessel called Sanctuary II as a base of operations." -
Well before anyone else jumps on this niche...
WHY ARENT YOU HAZ A CAT??? -
Im overseas and havent been able to play for a cpl of months so I dont want to attempt to comment on the actual build, but Im a fan of the concept.
Hopefully some of the Dom pros will step in and give you guidance/ideas one way or the other. Having said that, I have submitted builds to different AT sections in the past and it was sometimes just like this also...*crickets*.
Play it, have some fun and maybe revisit the thread later if you dont get any real hits. -

I wish they were "real" virtual vending machines; sometimes my toon needs a Snickers in between fighting Cot.

If you attend a school that has 100 people with a jerk population of 20, could be that when you goto a school that now has a 1000 people, scaled up there are approximately 200 jerks. Still that leaves 800 people that are possibly not irritating.
Im not a math guy, but sounds about right to me when discussing the concept of lower pop servers VS higher pop playing grounds. -
Congorats to u two lovebirds.

Start a racketeering ring on the Dregs
Objectives
Talk to Duchess; 2 supplies to smash up; 3 of the Duchess' dancers to rough up
Dancer <Captive>
(shabby-clothed civilian woman surrounded by toughies with guns)
Dancer: Uff!
Dancer: What's going on?
Dancer: Are you here to save me?
Dancer: Please!
Dancer: Stop!
Dancer: Don't kill me!
Dancer: No! Please!
Dancer: Uh...
Sounds like a mission for my Chappelle Show inspired "Im Rick James" toon. -
Quote:I dont think I understand...of efficacy adapters?
I wanted to help out stamina only to find that the only endurance modification that gives set bonuses is the efficacy adapters.
Which seems to be more for fighting powers...not stamina.
So where should I be slotting these to get there benefits...cause it would weaken stamina. -
I havent tried Time out yet, but the 1st thing that came to mind as far as synergy is Dark's -to hit to Time's +def and Ice's slow to Time's slow.
Or Fire like most people if you dont have 6 Fire Blast oriented toons already. -
Like some have said, Freedom/Virtue is the way to go for redside activity. I wanted to focus on red toons years ago and left Triumph to find a thriving villain community on Freedom.
I play Freedom/Virtue mostly redside now...use the channels and get into a cpl of active VGs/coalitions and you will have more to do than time to do it. -
Quote:Apologies if posted in the wrong spot, there's no All Access Art section..
A piece I did for War Patriot. You can see the process and some close ups at my blog
Very cool.
I especially like the cheering civilians on the sidelines during the battle.
That would be me, hoping to get struck by a radiation blast or energy eyebeams in order to get my own super powers (Id probably just melt on the spot though).
Good job. -
Quote:I didnt post with any intention of dismissing your opinion, to overlook the #s or with any snark involved.*shrug* Threads like these are always going to pop up until something's done (I mean, they've been showing up for 7 years now).
I like TA a lot, but I get annoyed when I try to show why the set could use some improvement and it gets dismissed, especially when the attitude I get is akin to the "don't call me a healer graihoahsdgoahslkh!!!" hate (not talking about you here, btw). As if I just don't understand what makes the set so great and if I did, I'd see why I'm so wrong.
I hope you get what you're looking for in reference to whatever buffs you feel TA needs.
In reference to this..."That's an unfair question to ask."
It seems fair to me when bounced off of:

Quote:I agree and feel the same way...but wanting to see something get done and watching people go on for pages about whats better are two different things.But I also look at the numbers and see how poor most of the debuff values compare to nearly every other set and it bothers me enough to want to see something change.
But please continue for another five pages in hopes that the other forumites will be able to help incorporate the TA changes that you feel are needed. -
Quote:I didnt say that and you can put words in my mouth to bolster your side of the issue, but yeah, after almost 5 pages of discussing what sets are better...we've come to the conclusion that not all sets are equal. Wow, amazing stuff..you truly have an eye for details. A buff would be nice, but Ive never had any problems debuffing with my Fire/TA corr (and Im a solo player unless on TFs/SFs etc), even though I also enjoy playing my Ice/Rad troller, Energy/Cold corr and my Dark/Rad Defender.And those other sets should have weaker debuff value ?
Just because.... ?
My Fire blaster does more damage than my other blasters since the secondary is more fire damage, but does that mean my Energy blaster needs its damage boosted? Sure, buffs never hurt and Im in favor of a TA buff when it happens. My question for you is...just because TA has weaker debuff values, does that mean it doesnt get the job done? Ive never had a problem debuffing with it just like Ive never had a problem blasting with anything outside of fire. -
Barrier...youve helped many people out in the past including myself when it comes to picking builds. I know it all depends on whether youre in a good or bad mood on any given day, but cut the guy/gal some slack. After playing this game for so long, you could help one more person get onto the right track of melee pvp stardom. -
More times than not, these threads turn into, "x is better than z and here are the #s" when it should be about, "I enjoy the variety this game gives us and the freedom to do x, y, z".
Rad, Dark etc beating out TA is like saying Superman could beat Green Arrow or Aquaman. Id get tired of reading comics if they were all about different versions of Superman because the #s say hes stronger, faster and tougher. There are always going to be people that prefer TA for whatever their reasoning and feel strongly about it...just like there are always going to people that argue Batman could take out Superman.
With players always asking for more/different sets to play, Im glad there is more than just Radiation, Cold Dom and Dark to choose from. -

Quote:I counted approximately 25-30 players in Freedom RV the other day. The saving grace I think is that most have brought their toons from other servers. Virtue has some holdouts since they still do RV on Wed/Fri nights, but its pretty sad considering its only about 10 players if that many showing up and outside of those days, its even more of a ghosttown. Exalted had KBs going on for awhile, not sure if thats still hot and Victory does its Bootcamps/team arena matches (courtesy of Masque). I dont think there is any other PvP activity on other servers besides that.I had someone on Freedom try to tell me that "More people play pvp now than before the pvp changes".
Their reason was "Look on your player ID, see that number, I have that number as 2 billion on 30 characters"
So basically, pvp is more popular than before because it made you money. Pro logic!
In other news, the devs introduced Dark Control because I had T-bone steaks the other night.
I know...lolpvp, but when are you coming out to play in RV? -
Quote:PvP isnt as glorious of a deal as it used to be but, bring a couple of your toons to Freedom RV.Wait, pvp actually really still exists?
I thought "brb arena event" was something people use as an excuse to get out of talking to people, sort of like "gotta go, sg calling"
Dang...I never knew.
Could always use more players and Im sure youll have fun.
