There's no good reason for them not to just be a custom weapon to Dual Blades.
The damage type doesn't match, but neither do some of the Titan Weapons, Warmace and the Fire and Ice VIP weapon models. So yeah, bang out a couple of 5 sided cylinders from 3dsmax, add wood textures, rigging helper objects and done. That should be less than an afternoon's work.

Now, tonfa would require it's own power set. It's a specialized set of movements you really can't fudge with an existing power set. I don't think we need any more weapon sets right now, but down the road after they add a dozen or so more actual super powers to the game, I wouldn't mind a tonfa set.

Nope. Juggy is still a Brute. An extremely well-built Brute, but a Brute.
Juggernaut does not operate like a tank. He doesn't serve only as a distraction. He's not defensive minded or overly concerned with his team, he plows straight ahead and makes short work of whatever is in front of him. That screams Brute. He doesn't chip away at minions with a T1 attack. He doesn't stand there, shouting insults at his enemies, while his teammates do most of the damage.

On the Marvel wiki, both his Durability and Strength are rated 7 out of 7. If he was a Tanker, his durability would be 7, but his Strength would only be 3-4.

Additionally, his offensive power has been right up there with the World War-level Hulk, a Brute who's Fury bar was locked at max for that crossover. If Juggy was a Tanker, his damage would have capped out long before that point.

Juggernaut is a Brute. He doesn't hit like a little girl.

I don't recall there being any pre-release downloads since we transitioned to the NC launcher?

The difference is, the people who vehemently disagree with me on Tankers don't insult me in the least. If I could, I'd give most of them a juice box, some stickers and send them on their way.


.

You're right. It isn't an argument. I called his anecdote BS and that is that. That's why I don't have to bother showing up to his invitation. I've got nothing to defend to him.

But, like I said, if he's mad because I told the truth about what Tankers are, sorry that's too bad. It makes me mad too. I'm not who he should be mad at.


.

I don't need to piddle around with his Tanker on Freedom to know he's wrong.


Anyone who truly gives a damn about Tankers should be mad about what happened to them and how they continue to be treated by the devs. Denying the truth and hand waving the past is being part of the problem and is as bad as contributing to it as far as I'm concerned.


If I was wrong about Tankers, anyone who truly felt they were fine would know it and wouldn't feel like they had to defend squat to me. They wouldn't be insulted...unless they're not so sure I'm completely off the mark.


.

The entire story could easily be fabricated and probably was?

Why, I remember the time my Dark/Dev Blaster took on the entire portal army on Sutter TF, and by the time the smoke cleared with me still standing, not only were all the melee ATs on my team dead, so was every Brute on Protector. And the TF was on Infinity!

So clearly this anecdote shows Blasters are superior to both Tankers and Brutes, in every situation.


.

Without crucial additional information, such as who had IOs and who was operating on old SOs and six slotted Brawl, I'll take a stab and say the SS Brute was probably pulling aggro from your EM Tanker, who was also using Power Sink heavily. The Brute's toggles likely dropped from both the Carnies end drain and from any Dark Ring Mistresses slapping Mask of Cheapmechanization on them.

Also the fact that Static Shield is brokenly good in this instance doesn't hurt.

In short, the reason your Tanker had it so easy was probably because you were being carried and your power set had an inherent advantage.

But that's what happens when comparing four very different power sets.

That in bold, is Fury. Designed and intended FOR TANKERS. Tankers never got it. Instead, they packaged it up and used it so sell boxes of CoV to people fed up with Tankers and their fail damage. And that is the origin of Brutes.

So the truth is Hulk is both because Brutes are the Tanker's better designed successor and Tankers are, well, just an outmoded joke of an AT the devs threw under a bus that still hit like little girls.

I disagree, mostly.

The classic savage green Hulk is all about offense. Contrast him with grey Hulk/Mr. Fixit, who doesn't have the rage boosting mechanic, and it's the area of damage and strength he loses out on. Grey-Fixit have never been shown to be considerably less durable than Green, but they have shown to be less offensively capable and weaker.

"The madder Hulk gets, the stronger Hulk gets" has never applied strictly to his resistance to damage or regenerative abilities. It's mostly about his over all offensive power level. It's not his regeneration that allowed him to hold up a mountain in Secret Wars, after all.

I'm willing to accept the argument that maybe his defensive capabilities do increase to a certain degree, but it's mostly his strength and offense that gets boosted.

Really, if I was going to model it properly in game, instead of a damage buff Fury would provide level shifts.

First off, she didn't "call" the 4 legged rig. Some time ago they put up a job opening specifically looking for animators with experience animating non-bipeds. A lot of people, including me, 'called' that this meant they were possibly going to work on a 4-legged rig. When the Halloween event came out with the idle wolf, that confirmed it. It was a safe bet after that they would utilize such a rig further.

That's not insider knowledge, that's just basic reasoning and paying attention.

It's very easy to make a vague prediction, followed by a winky face, and then if it happens to come true down the road, quote the long forgotten thread and then "have been right all along". What you don't see is the vast majority of predictions and vague winky statements that never came true, or were outright wrong that don't get necro'd.

There's nothing to see. They nuked it. It's a sea of glass. Then, likely Hamidon grew some trees on it.

Point of order:

Not everyone who tries this game comes from "the MMO community", whatever that is.
Hell, I play this MMO, for a half decade in fact, and I don't identify myself as part of "the MMO community".

The idea of a hybrid payment model, which CoH Freedom game is, is to give potential customers a better taste of what the game offers, but only in the hopes they'll spend money on the game and actually BE customers. Much like free samples in a supermarket.

Think of such a model as an extended trial with way more features and no time limit along with a vast discount on renting features that you didn't used to be able to rent a la carte.

If someone has played the game enough in the past to get an IOed out build, as the OP apparently has, they're well aware of the game and what it offers. They don't need a preview.

If they left in the past for any reason, and they're unwilling/unable to pay now even to unlock their IOs, they're NOT who the devs want to be catering to because they aren't really potential customers, not until they're willing and able to part with their money.

At heart, they're hypocrites. "Let me play your game for free so I know if there's anything I'd want to spend money on. But I refuse to spend money on IOs because I want them."

In any other business, they'd toss you on your butt. If you made such a declaration at the supermarket, that you had no intention of buying anything or had no money and was just there to mooch from the sample vendors, and then had the gall to complain about the quality of free samples, you wouldn't garner much sympathy from either the store management or the customers.
