Telekinesis is a low-magnitude, autohit, toggle hold.

of course, by low magnitude, you mean Mag 3, the same as controller ST and AoE holds.

Huh. I always misremember that.

I then hit POWER BOOST (Epic Power) which ups my base to 657.9

Power Boost does not increase damage. Try again.

[/ QUOTE ]
The Defender epic is actually Power Build Up; it combines Power Boost and Build Up, essentially. It's easy to confuse their names, but the epic power in question does increase damage.

As for waving my hands mystically in the air....i am sorry for actually forcing you to think

[/ QUOTE ] You're the one who has to think up a way to solo Romulus in 60 seconds so that you can produce a video to substantiate your claims. That's not someone else's job. Making other people come up with the explanations for your fantastic claims is a trick of stage magicians and charlatans; one group doesn't expect us to really believe them, and the other are liars. Is that how you want to appear? That you're either kidding or lying? Back up your claims and prove yourself honest. Then no one has to wonder.

War Mace with a bow! Smashy smashy!

Not getting good enough free stuff is a "slap in the face"? What would you do if someone actually slapped you, Slipstream? Claim it was genocide?

Since when does "solo" mean "being badass"? If someone is alone, they are soloing. If you want to say they're not badass, just say they're not badass. Don't claim they had "help" because they clicked different buttons than you.

You really want the next thing your Char does is activate its self heal power, but you cant, you have to wait for your char to first bust out a boombox and do a little grooving.

[/ QUOTE ]
C'mon now, let's get our priorities straight! Groovin' is important!

Telekinesis is a low-magnitude, autohit, toggle hold. You can use it to stack with your other holds, if you need a few moments of extra control. If you want a power that does a lot of damage while flinging enemies away, you might want to try a blaster or defender with Psychic Blast and pick up Telekinetic Blast. You could also make a controller with Gravity Control and pick up Propel (which flings large objects at enemies).

Edit: ...of course, the obvious thing I should have said is that, if you're a Mind Controller already, try Levitate. The names of those two powers are almost reversed... Telekinesis floats the enemies into the air and then away from you. Levitate flings them up, then lets them flop down, dealing damage, which is more like the kind of telekinesis attack you're thinking of.

Yes, all kinds of sharing are against the rules. The main risk you take is being held responsible for the actions of the person you let use the account; that is, if they get you banned, you are banned; if they delete your characters, you have no more characters. In both cases, it's your fault for giving out your password. The GMs have no knowledge of any other people you share with, so they have no responsibility to "right their wrongs".

If you must share your account, then any time you give out your password, end the exchange by saying "and feel free delete all my characters and get me banned permanently from the game". If you're sure they still won't do it, you probably have little to worry about [but are still responsible if something goes unexpectedly wrong]. If you get that uneasy feeling in the pit of your stomach, follow up with "just kidding... let's get you a trial account!", then change your password and do, indeed, get them that trial account.

Edit: I know it's a bad idea to directly contradict posted rules... like, for instance, I did above by suggesting that it is ever okay to share accounts. I'm going to assume that the popularity of threads like the one about Sister Flame, the little girl who played on her parents' account, shows that even the developers/moderators know there are exceptions. The no-exceptions nature of the rule doesn't mean no one ever shares... just that everyone who does is taking their own, completely unsupported, risk. (And should Sister Flame ever throw a temper tantrum and delete daddy's characters... bye-bye, daddy's characters!)

I want Elude to be renamed "I Am A Leaf On The Wind".

I find it absolutely freaking unbelievable that people actually believed this guy and didn't get this as the joke he intended it to be. First I laughed, and then became disgusted that people were actually trying to help him improve his character, completely falling for his joke... I have a bridge in brooklyn I would like to sell.

[/ QUOTE ]
Not quite sure why I shouldn't believe ("fall for") that there's someone out there who's not knowledgeable about playing a video game.

The inherents? Why the inherents? Why would they be more important than other things about an AT like, oh... their primary and secondary powersets?

[ QUOTE ]
IronYeti, I think your head just asploded.

[/ QUOTE ]
Nonsense. We Yeti always keep cool heads, even in a crisis. It's one of the perks of living above the tree line.

It largely depends on whether you have time to spare in one big chunk -- I can spend a long play session buying, and possibly crafting, common IOs tor a character -- or if you'd rather play most of the time, and just spend the occasional 5-10 minutes going to an SO store. If you're willing to drop the large, but one-time, cost of IOing out a character, it's well worth it. If you'd rather not, however, then you're better off buying SOs (and DOs at 15/20, possibly TOs earlier if you really feel like it).

Also, bear in mind that level 10, 15, or 20 IOs are less effective than SOs. It's level 25 IOs that start to compete numerically.

Anyway... there's a meaningful choice to be made between a one-time splurge on common IOs or just sticking with SOs every 5 levels, for casual players. Both ways have their merits. Pick what seems best to you.

she claims 4 times in an ITF solo under 60 seconds.

[/ QUOTE ]
Well, the exact words used were "Romulus from the ITF", not in the ITF. Whether that's just a linguistic slip, or is a subtle way of being misleading, I can't say.

[/ QUOTE ]
I will demonstrate three ways the same analysis could be used to discredit your statement as well:

The exact words used... by who? I don't know if that's just a linguistic slip, or were you the one who used those words, to discredit someone else?

You can't say... why? I don't know if that's just a linguistic slip, or that you can't say because saying would reveal you to be a liar?

A subtle way of being misleading... intentionally or unintentionally? I don't know if that's just a linguistic slip, or you're trying to blame the poster for the inherent ambiguity of language?

Your words can be reinterpreted too. It all depends on what the meaning of "is" is... or what the meaning of "from" is... or what the meaning of "the" is... or what the meaning of "can't" is... or what the meaning of "misleading" is. Attacks (or defenses, or any other argument) based on this kind of strained interpretation are not compelling. Either present evidence that the straightforward interpretation is invalid, or take words at face value. Otherwise we're going to be second guessing each other forever. It will never end, because we will never have an unambiguous language.

I don't like power proliferation because it makes archetypes less unique and gives people one less reason to play a particular archetype over another. I see no reason to be a fire tanker now that scrappers have it, for example.
instead, new sets.

[/ QUOTE ]
If proliferating a powerset from archetype A to archetype B means there is no reason to play that powerset in A, or to play A at all, then archetype A needs to be redesigned. Having a powerset in archetypes A and B should give two different ways to play it, both interesting in their own way, and while not everyone should want to play it both ways, about an equal number of players should want to play it each way, at the very least.

If Fire Tankers are not sufficiently more survivable than scrappers, then Tanker > Fiery Aura and Tanker > Fiery Melee need to be revisited. Keeping those powersets from Scrappers isn't going to make those tanker sets any better.

Defender - Poison

[/ QUOTE ]

Since obviously the ability to poison people is so heroic, not to mention a very good way to "defend" other people!

You Rogue, you!

[/ QUOTE ]
But Poison Gas Arrow uses a different sense of the word "poison"?

You think that "goes on to prove that <color> is <paired color> and gets killed at next <synonym for pedestrian crossing>" is a meme that has showed up anywhere else, Fleeting?

Ok, my bad, I said Going Rogue but as pointed out, this is an Issue 16 feature. I wasn't thinking carefully and picked the wrong one of the two expansions we're expecting.

And I expect it to be several months before issue 16 goes live because issue 15 just came out, Super Booster III just moved from test to live, so we still have to wait to see when I16 hits test and then again until it moves from test to live. My estimate for that process? "Several" (3-4) months. But I admit it is just an estimate.

Power colors cannot be changed yet. Until "Going Rogue" goes live -- which is not expected until several months after Issue 16, which itself is still several months away -- we will not know for sure.

Your question is a good one, but I do not believe we have that information yet.

My own guess would be that we can change power colors any time we change costume colors, but that is only a guess.

I think Developer's Choice is literally the developer's choice. They play the missions, and if they like one, they put it up as Developer's Choice. (There's probably more involved... they may inspect the text to make sure there's nothing offensive, even if they didn't run into it, and they may have GMs do some of the searching instead of all red-name developers, for instance.)

I haven't read up on it, I don't know for sure, but I don't think there's any sure-fire way to get on Developer's Choice, nor do I think it's an automated or random process.

True, but that's because Soylent Green is deeeelicious.

The problem with Bonfire is that you are guaranteed to miss one or two mobs with Fire Cages while it's up. Bonfire will throw those guys a long way away. They will sit out there and snipe you to death while you are dealing with the rest of the mob. To be honest, it takes a lot more time to deal with the stragglers that bonfire tosses out than using bonfire saves you in killing the majority of the mob. So Bonfire has a few uses, but damage isn't really one of them because it will actually slow your kill speed.

[/ QUOTE ]
Wait, one or two guys will snipe your controller to death? Did you skip Char or something?

Part of that is 'Truth in Advertising'. If they include something that is not advertised, they could potentially sued for not disclosing all info of what is available as a bonus.

[/ QUOTE ]
You can't be sued for giving someone extra free stuff. Otherwise everyone who bought the original box could sue for every patch to the game that has come since. "It didn't say I'd get veteran rewards! I'm suing!"
