Yeah they should. It's the perfect fluff item to sell cheaply in the store that has no impact on gameplay.

I disagree.

Not having to pay for anything would be great but the game is better off when it's making money.

When you say the films of your youth I hope you mean movies other than Star Trek, because there has only been 1 decent Star Trek movie ever made and that was "The Wrath of Khan" Every other Star Trek movie before and after belongs in the same steaming pile of excrement as "Highlander 2".

The big bad Super 8 monster is gonna get you with it's free continental breakfasts and free high speed wireless internet access.

OOOOooooOOOOoooOOO . . . Scary!

As I already explained before the problem lies not with what he did do but what he didn't do.

He attacked everything but the man responsible. You can argue otherwise until the sun goes nova I'm still not gonna find the scene believable.

It has nothing to do with control. The problem I have with the scene as a kid lies with the fact that he made no attempt to attack the man that murdered his mother in front of him. He didn't use his powers. He didn't throw a punch. He didn't bite him. He didn't kick him. He lashed out at everything and everyone in the room but Shaw. As far as I'm concerned it's not believable and it ruins the scene for me. You are free to have a different opinion but you aren't going to change my mind.

The same place they keep all the buses, fire engines, and children.

So you never paid any attention to builds before Fitness became inherent? Because as others have already said this is how it has always worked. Sorry to hear you are only just noticing it after seven years.

I respect your point of view but I still disagree with it. I just don't find that scene believable.

There is only one Doctor



The others no matter how talented are only pretenders.

1. Sorry but Shaw had no clue as to the scope of Erics powers. So having that much metal so close to Eric was foohardy at best. Many of the items Eric was manipulating while larger than a coin were much smaller than the gates he crushed outside. Common sense dictates that if Eric could crush the gates he could manipulate the metal knives, guns, and other instruments. Edit: For all Shaw knew Eric could violently rip the very iron from his body which probably would have killed him either from having the iron ripeed out of his body or from bleeding because without iron you can't stop bleeding. And the iron in our bodies is much smaller than a coin.

2. Eric wasn't just crushing metal at that point. He tore the drawers of the filing cabinets open before crushing the cabinet itself and he was hurling metal tables and other objects around the room.

Nothing was stopping him from trying to attack the nazi <bleep> that just murdered his mother. He was thinking clearly enough when he turned and killed the guards by crushing their helmets but ignored Shaw who actually pulled the trigger. Pure bull.

Now if he had attacked Shaw and Shaw used his mutant ability to absorb the attack that would have been completely different. Then we could believe/understand if Eric in shock stopped realizing Shaw was just like him.

I'd guess that's because they can't get upset over losing something they never had.

I'd say that Magnetos powers are so strong that he can manipulate ferrous metals as well as paramagnetic metals and even which require his ability to apply an external magnetic force, and even diamagnetic materials which are repelled by magnetic forces.

No I didn't. Your example was silly because players don't need an item that bestows a weak healing power because there are powers in the power pools they grant any character healing abilities

It doesn't matter if a melee character isn't as good as a pure ranged character. Tankmaging is the attempt to make a character that doesn't have any weaknesses

No it doesn't. You threw that argument in there as a red herring.

We don't need items because we already have temp powers that serve the same purpose and don't gimp players builds by making them sacrifice powers. Furthermore we already have Power Pools which aren't as powerful as primary/secondaries and are slottable that allow players to customize their characters builds.

So adding a new feature that duplicates temp powers and power pools is an unnecessary waste of time and resources.


Translation: We aren't as gullible as you hoped.

Translation: allowing slotting would allow the creation of tankmages.

And not adding an unnecessary feature that already exists in the game also prevents abuse.

[quote]Do many people cap enhancements at 30 for themselves? maybe they do. Is that a reason to claim a suggested cap of 30 is an attempt at tank magery? I dont think so, what level would you suggest?/quote]

Fail.

I never said that your suggested level cap was an attempt at Tankmagery. I asked for confirmation from other forum members if my memory was correct on the level of enhancements some players choose to use to get the best results when exemplaring. If my memory is correct then it seems quite a coincidence that you arbitrarily chose that level as the limit.

No I don't. If you want that kind of "versatility" you are free to play that other super hero MMO that allows that it. Of course that type of "versatility" was so popular the game was forced to go F2P from lack of players and they instituted Archetypes similar to this game.

Classic KittyCrusader complex. It's not complicated because the OP says it isn't complicated.

Of course it's an attempt at tankmagery. The OP gave that away right away with this explanation.

Even tho the OP attempts to argue that these "items" are similar to the temp powers that already exist in the game, when have we ever been able to slot temp powers with even 1 enhancement let alone 6.

Oh and I may be wrong about this but don't people that do a lot of exemping put a self imposed level cap on the enhancements they slot of 25 or 30?

Simple answer. When Charles and Magneto were questioning her Magneto cracked her diamond form which not only protected her body but was her defense against telepathy. So she was probably waiting patiently for that to heal. Breaking out before then would have her on the run from the very mutants that caused that injury and could take advantage of her telepathic weakness.



The only thing that realy bugged me in the movie was when Shaw killed Magnetos mother and the kid kills everyone in the room except Shaw. He doesn't even try.

One of these days Vel. One of these days . . .
BANG! ZOOM! Right to the Moon!

The invention system improved the game. Your idea doesn't. In fact you admit that players that chose to use your suggested items would be gimping their builds by sacrificing up to 4 power choices.

The temp powers that already exist in the game don't gimp players builds.


Theres no reason to create an unnecessarily complicated feature when they could be added as new temp powers

That's what I'm talking about a set of alternate pet graphics to choose from just like we have alternate graphics for swords, pistols, shields etc.

No they don't.

There are no rules set in concrete that state Steampunk technology can only use lightning as energy weapons, and rockets have been around since 9th century China and are a perfect fit with Steampunk mechanology. They don't need to be self propelled by gas or steam power. They could simply be launched by steam power and then the rocket/missles internal thrust ignites once it's in the air.

And before someone complains that rockets aren't missles, the only difference between the two is that missles have a guidance system and Steampunk technology is a perfect platform to explain why a steampunk robot would have guided missles instead of unguided rockets.
