  1. Thank you very much for such a great game. All of you have done excellent work. This reminds me of my graphics artist sister experience with the agency she worked with. Everyone plugging along, then peeps started to get emails. Good luck to you all; I hope this expands your horizons.

    Will we get to see it live? Even in its current state?
  3. Indeed thank all of you for really helping me to appreciate gaming at its best. I've learned so much from the analysis and discussion. I am truly the better for it. Its been an honor and a privilege be a part of it.
  4. As long as you are posting pics, any vic pics available? I have a concept build in mind. Always seems weird to me that they don't include pics of their products.

    Ice/Ice in i24

    I'm not sure what to do with the other snipe-less blast sets, but I would love a change that would make bitter freeze ray more useful. That's what it gets in giving up a snipe. BFR could amimate faster and *maybe* give slightly better damage (Currently 82; raise to 100ish - not snipe-level of 266, the set was never designed that way). Quickly stack 2 mag 3 holds on a blaster, one of which giving a pretty good hit? Yes, plz.

    ya, was thinking about the ramifications and modded my post. I like my idea in theory - you are fighting through something that is holding if you not completely held outright, but I dont know if the current engine could slow/speed cast times. If it cant then it would be would be back to just a plain -reharge, and thats bad. Thanks for some feedback
  8. How to remedy the binary nature of Mez:
    1. Fear and KB/KD, repel, confuse get an attached -acc or -tohit : use BF and/or acc to remedy.
    2. Sleep, stun/disorient - get a -rech added : use BF and/or blue/greens that now help resist slows.
    3. Holds, immobs, teleport get a -dam component and travel suppression : use BF and/or oranges/purples to remedy. No longer on/off just longer delay to cast.
    4. Taunt/playcate - BFs and reds

    small = mag 2 res, med = mag 4, large = mag 6
    The corresponding mag to debuff numbers would have to be hashed out. I wont venture guesses (unless someone likes this well enough to flesh it out more for submission).

    BF's would still be binary to the mez (the choice option), but more options of dealing with the mez are now available.
  9. Not to de-rail the thread, but does the new Arcanaville/Arcanaville Arcanaville come with Arcanaville Mastery that is slotted for Arcanaville with AO's and Arcanaville set bonuses? If so, at what percent does that cap?
  10. There are only 2 drawbacks to SR: having to take all the powers to fill the holes and having to dip into power pools to use other sets outside of +def. This is a side effect of a one-trick-pony that does its trick phenomenally: evade stuff. Thus I can consentrate on doing other things like killing, building for rech and damage (my dm/sr has 197.5% global recharge with hasten and a perma 49% dam buff from sets - including hybrid and not counting Muscular - that's a flat damage buff I see while monitoring damage buff w/o any help from other peeps or insps: 49% AND I have perma Soul Drain.) *There are just some things you can do/build for with /SR that you cant do with other sets.*
  11. *Sung using Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple* Sharks in the Water! Dun, dun dun! Dun, dun, d-dun!!
  12. Badges? Account wide? Per character? Other yummies?
    Three hours only need to plan a little.
  13. They should make it a purple recipe drop while completing Ouroboros story archs: complete a arch chance to get a special portal for you and 3 others on a team(or solo-doubt it though).

    Dare a say could earn via ouro credits

    Heh, I was thinking that they should note the last 2-3 digits of the amount and randomly generate a "sale" from a pool of pre-chosen items and make a "SALE JUST FOR YOU!" for exactly the amount that would round you to a whole number. Well, not whole, but you get the idea.

    They still havent released a bio about Bio Armor, which implies they're still fleshing it out. Soon(tm) we will have an outbreak that will metastasize over the servers like a festering malignancy.

    LOL, yeah, that - I guess they get hacked from time to time. Also, last I read red-names discussing it, they were kind of making remarks that they ment more than that to them. I took that as them symbolizing working under a prior oppressive management and that they are still up as a kind of monument to those days as they had no intentions of making an "open" environment like Preatoria or south PI where one could just run off the map and splash-screen into the next zone.

    And Grats! on 48(?), Klaw

    SSA #2 Episode 2

    Any chance we would be able to keep/steal the Antikythera Device at our bases (reward for completing the arch) for safe keeping/trophy from the spoils of war? That would be a neat conclusion - different from the temp powers from SSA1.*


    *Rampant speculation - of course, for all we know it may be used more directly to further powers tward Omega.

    SSA #2 Episode 2

    Just wanted to chime in for support of SSA#2.2. Very well done.
    I re-ran it just to crank up the diff to +4 - great challenge.
    Keep up the good work.
  19. IRRC, GoRo pack was stated to be released at end of July early Aug, and not to get our hopes up by Zwill.

    And Ya, no Thunderstrike? Wow, just... wow...
  20. Never made a Corr so I went with Surf's Up: WB/Ice - has the frizbee and board (ala hover board or w.e). "Ice" being the foam and surf that is blowing around - ya, weak, but Im having fun. Thought wb/time for a heck-o-spinning whirly things, but wanted more wateriness.

    I agree with this. Also, are these mail-able to your own account. If so and you have alts, it shouldnt take that long to get a few toons decked out.
  22. Do we get a free contraction of Space Herpes with completion of the set ala Ice Pirates!?
  23. Either the cost or the sale % is off for the Super Pack.

    QFE.

    Regretful will be the person who doesnt understand how to make their gaming mind their every-day mind and their every-day mind their gaming mind (or any such skillful hobbie). The skill sets to game to the degree seen on the boards are quite useful (especially Seismic Smash ); be mindful of their applications.
