    You're missing out. Major Decoy is up to 26 cybernetic hearts and it's AWESOME. Really. His blood pressure is high enough now that I'm thinking about turning him into a blaster as soon as they introduce a Water Blast power set that can be tinted red.

    I'll ignore game lore as I find it convenient.

    Doctor Brattleboro: Demon Summoning/Pain Domination.
    This character gives his Rats the BEST drugs. You know, the ones not cleared for human testing yet. I'm a little disturbed that they speak, but I haven't decided if that's because he gave the rats near human intelligence or just because he like to imagine the rats are talking. Either way, all the demon chatter is slightly ironic.

  4. Wait... there's the answer right there: Give only scrappers access to Centauri hair. Also, give them an e-mote that's "I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens."

    He's a Centauri.

    Incidentally, from day one my biggest glitch with the game has been an inability to make Doctor Strange. And it wouldn't be hard for the devs to grant me that: level 9 access is all that would be required.

    When Jack was creating Melee/Defense and putting in Defense/Melee just to screw with J_B and Melee/Ranged to screw with everybody else, he forgot to put in God/Mode.
    Level 9 access?

    I don't know how you'd even start making Dr. Strange in this game. Roughly four hundred and fifty percent of his powers have no in game application.

    Because your motives for becoming a Tibetan monk will be part of some devious scheme?

    Nothing. My Willpower tanker's health bar didn't even seem to move.

    What would happen to Kinetic Melee's Concentrated Strike? Would Power Siphon recharge twice? Would it crit for full damage and fully recharge Power Siphon?
  11. I can't believe that thing with the thing happened.

    If enemies didn't have ranged mez attacks the game would make more sense. Choking Cloud might seem more useful.

  15. I have an Invulnerability 'tanker' with no defensive toggles. I got her all the way to 50 mostly solo (by mostly, I'd say 95%). I'm going to start running her through the Dark Astoria content soon.

    I started a toggle-less Super Reflexes/Martial Arts tanker, but I got bored witless by level 28.

    So that's all Lava? I thought it was just the lava in Reichsman mission of Dark Astoria.

    ...actually, thinking about it, it wasn't "For fear of" it was because the player base had been doing the same in lots of encounters that had lava.

    I remember taking on the Tyrant AV as a two person team, not having the damage capacity to beat him, so just bringing him into the lava where my Invulnerability tank was taking 25 damage a tick from the lava and he was taking 250.

    On Who Will Die? Arc 1, people routinely got the Elite bosses into the lava. With Crane Kick, I'd manage to just accidentally knock the bosses into the lava.

    And Trapdoor? Well, he just seemed to start running straight into the lava as soon as you aggro'd him. The guy has a death wish. You did not need to trick him into it.

    You did state that it was the more important part of your question.

    It seems like it's getting close to done, but it hasn't gone through bug testing yet, so I can't really expect it any sooner than May.

    Getting all the feedback from the players increased the amount of work involved in creating this set, rather than reducing it.

    Oh, Hey There

    You can read the market forum, you just can't post there.
  21. If it's called a "Pack" it has never been free.

    However, we did just get the Olympianergardist set free. Well, at least, VIPs did.
  22. Well, if we entirely ignore development time, we can do things like Assault sets, where blast sets are combined with melee sets:

    Control + melee
    Shields + Buff/Debuff

    And that'd be an interesting AT. I'm not sure which set would be the primary.

    Edit: I suppose Control + Melee / Shields + Buff/Debuff is kind of in the game already. Hello Fortunatas.

    If you don't believe me on the mathematical impossibility, fire up Mids' and check it for yourself. I 6 slotted Resist Physical Damage, Temp Invulnerabilty, and Tough with 5xBoosted Resistance enhancements, AND added t4 Cardiac. The Brute topped out at 78.4% resistance to S/L.
    1) You forgot about Resilient Core Paragon.
    2) Unyielding also provides Smashing/Lethal resistance.
    3) The Brute ATO set provides Smashing/Lethal resistance.
    4) Shield Wall: +3 Res all

    So, 6 slots in RPD, 6 Slots in Tough, 6 slots in Unyielding, 6 Slots in Temporary Invulnerability (Two of them boosted to +5), the full set of the purple Brute ATO and Resilient Core Paragon.

    OR, more expensively:

    3 slots in RPD, 4 slots in Temporary Invulnerability, 3 slots in Unyielding, 3 slots in Tough, Shield Wall: +3 Res in Tough Hide, full Purple Brute ATO set, 3 full sets of Air Burst, and Resilient Core Paragon.

    I've always imagined Captain America as a tank and Peter Parker's Spider-man as an Archetype not currently in game. Now, if they ever introduce an archetype with a one set (primary or secondary) that is ranged controls and melee attacks, and one defense set (along the lines of Ninjitsu) then that's what Spider-man is.

    Darkblade is Claws/Invulnerability, Decoy is Invulnerability/Super Strength.

    Fun fact: Damage and resistance debuffs are actually 8 debuffs each, one for each damage type. This is why AAO is one of the best taunt auras in the game.
    So, you're saying my Shield Defense/Kinetic Melee tanker probably didn't need to go Nerve Radial to get the taunt enhancement?
