    These pre-order helmets are not a Vet reward. I'm happy that this threads get listened to by the devs, and this is what I was hoping for. In time - a complete wardrobe of available costume pieces.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    That's not what the 51 month badge, Tried and True, states.

    But from the rest of your post, I guess you ment that they are Vet rewards.

    There. Nothing hidden. No ulterior motive.

    Lies.

    I know you have ulterior motives because I have your diary which clearly states this fact (yes, fact) at several points throughout.

    The same diary that I wrote and then placed your name on, so don't try and say you didn't write it, because it has your name on.
  3. I love the 'That's not how the game should be played' comments, it's just like what the homophobes say in real life, adds a nice touch of humour to posts.

    SR vs. Ninjitsu

    [ QUOTE ]
    Id be interested how you get 71% defence outside of the tier 9 power. And if you are talking teir 9, is it perma?

    SR effects on damage : +recharge
    Ninj effects on damage: Caltrops

    IMO SR will do more damage than Ninjitsu

    [/ QUOTE ]

    You're totally missing the point Stalk is making.

    With just SOs, I guess an SR stalker may do slightly more damage overall, but as Stalk has said, you can only have so much recharge before any more would be pointless, and 20% recharge in a build that could have upwards 100% recharge from IOs isn't much.

    The point is, you could buff out the rough edges of a Nin with IOs, but it's harder to do the same with SR. You want a heal? You need Aid Self, and you can't always use that in a fight. If you're in a situation where you going to get killed due to -Speed/Rech then the res in SR would be overcome anyway.

    This debate, if you can call it that, isn't even for this forum, let alone this thread, so could you continue this on one of the already existing threads in General or start another new thread there?

    The points raised are valid, from both sides, I just don't see the point in discussing them here.

    PS: best and most serious way is run behind a corner when animation starts

    Ah yes, forgot about the LoS thing with animations.

    With insp stacking becoming available in i12, people will be entering the arena with all large insps anyway.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I thought the Devs said it won't work like that, combining small insps into larger ones?

    build doesnt come cheap but is such a fun toon to play was worth every penny. Main thing ive gone for is +recharge with this build.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    [ QUOTE ]
    Good luck affording that. Oh, right, it's a pure farmers build. Good luck not dying of Boredom before you can afford all that instead.

    The build will change as you level up, for example before you get FS you'll want recharges in Siphon Power as well accuracies.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    This build has already been made.

    First of all i dont whine.
    I just posted my opinion on something.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Which also happens to be a moan.

    [ QUOTE ]
    If you cant argue in a objective way, and prefer to insult ppl instead who dont share your own opinion, let it be.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Spawnus isn't being insulting, he's only asking a question.

    So, is there anything you don't think the Devs are stupid for doing?

    I was really looking forward to the VEATs for years now, but......

    after seeing the video i was very dissapointed:

    Most powers seem to be exact copies of powers ingame for 4 years already.
    At least they could have made new animations or changed the colour of all the psi, mid powers fortunatas or nightwidows get.
    In my opinion a brandnew powerset should at least have 70% new unique animations or looks.
    Maybe they play different than other ATs but it will still look the same.
    Kheldians at least have really unique powers.

    I would have gladly waited for VEATs till I13, if that gave the devs more time to develop new or cooler poweranimations, than just reuse existing ones.

    I am not talking about how they will play, maybe they are fun , i only talk about the look of the powers.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Can I ask where you have seen ALL of the VEAT powers?

    We've only seen a handful of powers, hardly enough to go crying around the boards with.

    Although I guess it is in your case.
  14. It's possible to carry on as a Wolf Spider or Blood Widow, but you'll run out of power options the higher you get.

    Remind me, was there a reason why heroes work for Hero Corps rather than Longbow apart from the bad attitude of the Longbow commanders.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't know about Longbow, but Hero Corps get paid for it. Check the exploration badge description you get next to Henry Peter Wong in Atlas (can't remember the name).

    VEAT video.

    [ QUOTE ]
    I THINK we get access to pretty much all the arachnos costume pieces no matter which VEAT we choose (except of course the backpack).

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not true, it just looks that way because Crab and Bane Spiders share alot of the same sotume parts, but not all, as is the same with Night Widows and Futunata.

    my only question is:


    why lvl 24 till we get to decide?

    [/ QUOTE ]Why not?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    well from what i understand. we get to choice at lvl 24, why not sooner? like heroes?

    does this mean we get to chioce one path like crabs, but also be the orginal kind.?

    or do we become perma? if thts the case the devs need to make it so we get to perma transformed and repick ourll powers from lvl on as the new set

    [/ QUOTE ]

    From what I undestand, and think it will happen, the powers you pick before level 24 and after will transform to fit in with the path you choose. It's just my guess that the pictures we have already see from the beta, all the powers on those will transform to fit into the path you choose. Which is why I think the Call Renforcements that Wolf Spiders get will change into the one shown in the video for Bane Spiders and the nuke that Crab Spiders have.

    For example, a Wolf Spider fires Granades and Bullets from their gun, where as once you pick the path of the Crab Spider, those bullets and Granades will be fired from your back pack. I'm guessing that for Bane Spiders the bullets will become energy blasts and the Granades will fire from the Mace.

    So what about the idea of leaving TK as is but adding repel resistance to Acrobatics and BFs?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    My conclusion from the 22 pages that Knight posted in the very first post is that Castle will add resistance to BFs...

    In order, bf = 50%, 2nd-3rd tier = 100%, so 2 bfs to negate TK.

    We will see.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oddly, that is exactly what has happend...

    [ QUOTE ]
    FWIW, we reverted out the "Not affect players" change to TK, and changed Break Frees to 50% Repel Resist, and 100% resist for Medium and Large inspires.

    Edit to Castle's post about Cage suppresion.

    thinking of rolling another Earth/ controller, probably empathy or arrow (like the idea of some of its control again!), they do Earth/ in villains?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I have an Earth/Trick Arrow, soooooo much control! I love it.

    Earth will be in City Of Villains come Issue 12.

    Psychic Shockwave for Dominators is an AOE power which does damage as it if it a single target power. For Blasters, this will not be the case -- the AOE divisor will be in place. In other words, divide damage by 4.75.

    [/ QUOTE ]
    Here.

    Oh well.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well with Bu and the much higher damg modifier blasters got + inherent it gonna be as strong if not stronger than the dom version outside domination, no matter if its divided by 4,75....

    My bet is blasters get AV pets next issue.
    Somehow i think the devs start to totally ignore balance issues .

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yeah, because Blasters can have BU on all the time, and it lasts just as long as Domination.

    The base damage for Blasters will be somewhere around 25ish*, compared to Dominatior's 75, so even with Build Up's 100% damage bonus every so often, it won't be as good as the Dominator's PSW.

    Sure, I could be wrong, but please, for all our sakes, stop crying bloody murder untill you have actually played the set.

    *I don't know this personally as I'm not one for the numbers, but I did read read it from this post.

    The majority of thermal buffs and debuffs are resistance based so wont get a lot out of powerboost there.. The -def from melt armor, -end and -regen from heat exhaustion, toHit from Forge and the heals are all it will do for that set I think. Which will still be nice I guess.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    +Regen isn't boosted by PB, so I don't think -Regen is.

    Or is this one of those wacky PvP things?

    Also yeah:

    Aside from /em and /elec what else would a pvp minded player pair it with? I was thinking /dev but that would be stupid. Edit: cuz psi blast has no aim.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Are you sure? And before making TOO many plans, take into consideration that Blasters get a new secondary, too. It *may* change plans a bit (unlikely, but y' never know!)

    What exactly is the argument against both sides having the same ATs (possibly with different names) as each other?

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Because the potential advantage gained hero side from Villain ported powers is a lot bigger.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    He said ATs, not powersets.

    The only problem would be the limiting factor that Patron powers would place on villains, I mean if a Hero Defender with Power Boost is buffing a hero and a Villain, lets call it an Offender for the sake of things, is buffing a villain, with the exact same base values for damage and buffs etc as the Defender, then Power Boost is going to make the Defender's buffs stronger than the Offender's.

    That is of course if Heroes don't get Patron Pools and Villains don't get Epic Pools, so that each have Epic and Patron powers to pick from 40+.

    Maybe people need to stop posting useless stuff like this without any content, just to see their name in a thread

    Just because you can't see it's use, does not mean that it is useless. I actually laughed at the idea of me posting just to see my name in a thread these days, if ever.

    I'm sure you'd expect some form of abuse back at you, but how can I dislike something so cute with that pouting lip of anger.
