    No. Unless you mean bursting already dead corpses.

    What bug? Out of curiosity. And god, it took, what 4 years for Fire to leave "Time Out"?
  3. Do you guys have set team nights for RP/missions/goofing off or is it more of a "play when you can, do what you want" type VG?
  4. I said this in game, but welcome back Lu.
  5. At least they're honest to god different topics that at least merit a surface discussion. Yeah they're laughable, but anythings better than repeat rookery spam.

    My most recent defender is based partially off a character from the anime Tiger and Bunny.
  6. Back when we could change forum names whenever, I once changed my name from Haetron to "Happy Forum Poster".

    Sometimes I still regret reversing that change!

    Actually, /dark is quicker to develop, because Dark Regen is beastly at lower difficulty levels and you get it 10 levels earlier than the electric heal.

    My main complaint with /dark on Brutes has always been that late game, it falls flat on its face for most redside content.

    And yeah, you can IO for knockback, or Acro. You pretty much have to, to be honest. But the amount of fear you'll face in game is so low, for elec, it's barely a detriment, especially when you consider you can always save a breakfree for it. (Seriously, one Warden type, and one Tsoo boss, and that's all I recall that uses fear in PVE)

  9. There is only one reason to play Dark Armor over Electric, and that is Fear Protection IMO.

    That will almost never come up in PVE, sooo...

    Dark Armor does have "THE BEST HEAL IN THE GAME!!11" but I also feel it's the anchor that weighs the entire set down and it's innate negatives outweighs it's positives.

    Also, do it on a brute.
  10. Friends don't let friends play Dark Armor.

    Fixer. Don't play Dark Armor.


    SERIOUS POST MODE:

    Depends on your definition of "Early maturation".

    And if you plan on IO'ing at all.

    If you're planning on SOing for most of the run..

    Dark Armor does have a bit of an early golden period due to Dark Regeneration, but it falters in the mid 30s.

    Elec Armor matures later than Dark Armor BUT doesn't suffer from the "ok, wtf am I playing this set" syndrome 35-50.

    I recommend Electric Armor!
    • Fights in the D
    I always work with the concept that Zero has an "Aura of Consent". If two people want to have a text fight brawl, it's not like I can stop them, and I'll try and ignore it. But if Im forced to acknowledge it's happening, I pass it off as Zero letting both fight because they want to fight.

    Though I still wish a random dev passing through one night would just start /devkilling people who do it.
    • I dont take level into account

    I do. Don't like it? GTFO the D and level, son.
    • I have powers that don't exist in the game
    imokaywiththis.jpg

    If it's "non-combat" powers or just an alternate explanation of powersets in game, I don't mind. IE: Super Reflexes as a "Psychic Prediction of attacks". Just don't press the suspension of disbelief too far!
    • Immunity to Psionics/Stealth Detection

    Guilty on one character of this! But, I roll it all the way around to the point it's supposed to be as much a handicap as it is a benefit. IE: No one can friendly psychic message him either.


    Totally stole AI's formatting.
  11. Random question, but was doing a hero side tip mission detailing how she's famous for her plant based schemes, and I was like.. "But she has no plant based powers. "

    Was wondering if anyone else was confused by this.


    (Personally, I'd make her a Thorns Assault/Earth Armor (NO GRANITE) NPC. Cause NPCs get to break rules, yo.)

    Man, that's like reading one of your posts and complaining it didn't make sense.

    ZM, the only thing new from Cien there is the Dev Taunting and Angry Posts. And thats because they cut down on his random thread starting of poorly formatted daily posts where he has the inability to make a paragraph.

    Which is funny, because it's not the Devs who even did it. But I think that escape him!
  14. Haetron

    So rude!

    Yeaaah, Gale, you're normally fairly cool, but jumping him about level pacting if he didn't even ask about it is kind of rude. He could have been a new player even.

    Everyone should get an initial benefit of the doubt and not be assumed to leap to the worst possible action. (Even if 99 percent of the time, they do.)
  15. I actually think it's going to wind up being important and a major issue that there is -not- Alternate Recluse's. Ties into his whole "fighting the well at every step" thing a bit, IMO. What makes Recluse so bizarre is that he's an aberration to the very natural order of the universe.

    Or something. It's late, and I can't phrase it like Im thinking it.

    Also, maybe in Praetoria, it was Richter that got hit with Mustard Gas instead of Cole, and already had one foot in the grave when they reached the well?

    (Was it mustard gas that made Cole sick? I dont have my Web of Arachnos book handy.)
  16. This already happened for me with the Science booster and the tailor upgrade included with it. Still haven't bought it either.
  17. Is there a listing of average Single Target DPS per Brute Primary without factoring in things outside said primary?

    I'd be curious where Energy Melee stands.
  18. Was an informative chat. And if they release powerset respecs for 50 dollars at any point, I can be blamed!
  19. If it's a choice of having one new powerset for free every 6 months to a year, or having 4 powersets a year with the option to pay for them, I'd rather have the latter, honestly. Nothing says I -have- to buy the sets. Heck, if I could have opted out of demon summoning in going rogue, and got a cheaper price, I would have in a heartbeat.
  20. Ive always thought the guy on the far right was an early version of Positron? The one beside Liberty's armpit.
  21. If you're looking for a specific time frame, putting in your timezone helps.
  22. Out of curiosity, is this costume contest for female characters only? Cause Rogue Magazine seems to focus on them.
