Quote:Well, with something like Ion. If your character is a mechanical whiz, why couldn't they rig their cybernetics with some very high-power capacitors?Originally Posted by Kadmon
None of the Judgement options are particularly amenable to this (several have suggested Ion as "overloading the power core" on her arm, but this would simply leave the arm rather useless and stuck in whatever position it was in when it did this without manual manipulation from the other arm; others suggested Void as a technological localized black hole, which is outside of her tech level.)
It takes time to charge said capacitors (recharge time). And the effect when purging the capacitors is spectacular and dangerous.
Also, in the course of your super-heroing/villainy, you've probably come across pieces of super-advanced tech that are outside your level. Yet you've figured out how to at least USE some of them. -
Quote:It would suck for everyone not Incarnate already. And worse, it'd cripple the set in the mid-range where rage becomes available. Essentially the set would become something nobody would want to exemp on. That's if Rage were simply translated into a Build Up clone. Were such a Destiny power to co-exist with Rage? Yeah, much of the allure at high levels would be lost. And the set would be more media than it is now.
But what would happen if, hypothetically, we were given a Destiny power that offers a very potent +Damage buff?
To that, I say "So what?"
Not really. The +ToHit is a really nice bonus.Quote:Suddenly Rage looses a lot it it's allure, especially for many SS Tankers who are already hitting the damage buff cap.
On the flipside "If it's dumb, but it works, it ain't dumb."Quote:The fact of the matter is, Rage is broken, but it's the only thing that makes SS worth while.
IF the set were revamped, it might be a good idea, instead of simply jacking up damage, to apply a stacking damage resistance debuff to each attack.Quote:I'm of the opinion that conceptually SS deserves to be punishingly damaging. With stacked Rage it can be; at the cost of chewing a ton of endurance and considerable downtime due to crash. Heaven knows the set's animations don't convey much of a sense of power, IMO.
In this way, the set would start off with it's normal, crummy, mainly resisted damage. But as a fight wore on, even resisted, the effects of getting pounded on would begin to ramp up and the tanker would be doing more and more damage. -

$45 to get a decent chat capability?
That's pathetic, even by "business is to make money" standards. Good way to tick off the VIPs AND alienate new players in the same go. Sure, that just sounded a bit rant-ish, but this is ridiculous.
Or mix and match spending cash and waiting... -

That works nicely, Hyper, thanks! I'll add that to the first post.

Quote:How about this for a YouTube Video? Please pardon the rambling and mush-mouth. It was mainly done as a test and off the cuff.Originally Posted by Stone Daemon
Unfortunately, short of making a youtube video and/or skyping people through the process, there is little I can do to help people who need a more thorough walkthrough.
That said, I might be able to work something like that out. It would depend on how well it worked. -
Okay.
Reactive Armors should be 4 slots. Kill the EndRed. Especially in auto-powers like RPD. Use slot 5 in your first two powers for the two +3% def.
Kinetic Combats should also be 4 slots. Use slot 5 for something like a Mako Triple. The KD chance is great and all but you want more damage.
SuperSpeed is overslotted. Recommend taking Combat Jumping there instead, and decide on SJ/SS later.
Honestly, you have Physical Perfection and Dull Pain WAY overslotted.
Due to the way you're slotted, your recovery is kinda on the low side too (you're using more than half your recovery rate AT REST.
Maybe take a look at something like this. I know you're trying for a high recharge build, but Invuln benefits far more from a high defense build. If you feel you need more recharge on this build, toss a Spiritual Alpha at it and call it done.
Capped S/L. And E/N/F/C in the 40% range with 1 enemy in range.
It doesn't have the extra recharge your build does, but it's harder to hit in the long run and can survive the extra couple seconds it takes for an attack chain to come back up. If it needs it with the far more available Hasten, greater damage output, etc.
Note: I traded Hurl for LBE. This is preference. Hurl does more damage. But it doesn't work if you're flying (group fly sucks for this sort of thing). But LBE comes back up faster. If you want, just swap LBE for Hurl (takes the same enhancements)
Also, you'll note that I've dropped a lot of set bonuses. Some of them are only marginally useful for your build. Others (like the Acc bonuses) are fairly useless when it comes to Perma-Rage.

Already have a tank and SG on Exalted.
The only thing I worry about is setting dates on Exalted is going to exclude premium and free players from the events. -

They spawned HAMIDON on top of City Hall in AP!
Yeah. That was a good idea... NOT! -

I just look at the free transfer as the Devs backhanded way of supporting PLing.
By doing this they keep the farmers supplied with people, keep the majority of farmers together, get people more 50's for incarnate stuff. -
Quote:No. Part of your sub does NOT go towards that server transfer.Originally Posted by Giant2005
You are right, it is a poor analogy - part of my $15 sub goes toward that server transfer, so it isn't as free as the flaming bag of poo... But then again, you are paying for that poo with the punch.
That and your 400/550 points a month are perks of subscribing, but are not being paid for out of your subscription.
If you choose not to use them, that's on you. But you have them available if you want/need them. -

Constructive post is constructive? Yes mine's about farming, what the Dev's loathe, but really. I like to sit in a big cave farm, and afk as I lvl. So I can do other things, now I wait around for 2 hours trying to get a farmer and fail. AND before you go "goplaythegameinsteadofwaiting" So I get a lvl that I can prob get in a short farm in 8 minutes?
You pay for access to the game.
You are NOT paying for the right to have someone PL you on demand.
In short, PLAY THE DAMN GAME! -
Quote:What about the fact that StJ is available on Test?Originally Posted by Shard_Warrior
On the flipside, simply because you find them reasonable doesn't make it so either.
You seem to be assuming every person had access to the Street Justice set while it was in BETA, and were able to afford the time to level a character there and test it out completely. You also seem to be ignoring the new players coming in who don't really get (IMO) a good method of trying out powersets before purchasing them.
Just for the record, I was in the i21 BETA and did get to test this set out before buying it. That said, I can understand there are those out there who did not have the opportunity I had by being in the i21 BETA. I am not in any way asking for a refund. I am simply expressing an opinion that the store/game in general can use some improvements when it comes to allowing customers to better preview/test an item out before paying real money for it. -

Were we able to get a reasonable means of previewing and testing these sets prior to purchasing them, I would agree.
There WERE reasonable means of previewing and testing.
Simply because YOU find them unreasonable doesn't mean it is. -

All in all in the economic times we are in I can't be the only one that only affords VIP because of my tax return I am lucky if i can pull the money every week for gas in my car and food. I can't be the only one upset about loosing a granted thing VIP players had prior to i21....
Keep this in mind. Prior to i21, if you stopped paying your sub you lost EVERYTHING until you paid your sub again.
