I'm not normally one to choose powers based on how "good" they are, but I would go with AR/EM. EM is a solid secondary for any character and can easily fit any concept (like with my Rad/EM blaster, EM was just "radiation melee".)

As far as I know, each individual weapon model is linked to certain animations. This is why the Tsoo "katana" is for Broadsword and not the katana.

Sure, let's get the devs to make two or three different animations for the thousands of powers present in the game. What a great idea.

The first power taking enforcement is there for a reason.

Remember the Greek heroes of legend? That's the time when Pandora's box was opened before the most recent time (when Statesman did it).

Edit: Certain powersets would be restricted from use with eachother to prevent overpowerdness. This happens with Shield Defense (because of weapon problems rather than overpoweredness) so it could happen with the epic AT. This could prevent you from being, say, Energy Melee/Kin, and using Fulcrum Shift + Energy Transfer to more or less brutalize anything in one shot with your 4000 damage or so.

This makes no sense. Think of it this way: if you are the enemy and you see seventeen other guys attacking a person, don't you think it would make more sense to attack the people that aren't being attacked by seventeen guys? The aggro cap makes sense in an in-character, game world sort of way - there are so many guys piled up on that one person that it would just be easier and more efficient to go after another guy.

Of course, nobody cares about common sense because IT'S A GAME LOLOLOL GAMES DON'T HAVE TO MAKE SENSE. Whatever.

I had an idea for an epic archetype of sorts that will basically be a combination of any archetype. The idea is that you have your primary and your secondary, but you have a much much larger choice as to what you want.

There will be two of these archetypes: offensive and defensive. The Offensive archetype will have any melee/ranged/control ability as its primary and any defense/buff/debuff as its secondary. For example, you could have an Energy Blast/Invulnerability, War Mace/Force Field, Thorny Assault/Dark Miasma, and so on. You can't have, say, Energy Blast/Electric Blast, or War Mace/Assault Rifle, or Kinetics/Cold Domination. The Defensive archetype will have this reversed: Empathy/Energy Assault, Willpower/Earth Control, and so on.

Ancillary/Patron power pool powersets will be decided based on the primary chosen. Someone with a melee primary couldn't get Primal Forces Mastery, but they could get Body Mastery. Conversely, someone with a buff primary would get Power Mastery, but not Force Mastery.

The only powersets you cannot take are the Mastermind pets as well as powers that are exclusive to blue or redside. If you are a hero, you can't take Pain Domination or Ninjitsu, but you can take Empathy, and if you are a villain, you couldn't take Katana or Empathy, but you could take Pain Domination.

This is an idea I thought up in five minutes, so if it sucks then I understand.

Illusion/Kinetic controller, able to manipulate reality around him. He has three vital weaknesses: someone finding where he's sleeping and beating him up, psionic damage breaking his consciousness' link to the real world, or someone who has the power to control dreams negating his own.

oops, double post.

What the title says.



If I had enough room on the screen I'd have the salvage and recipe windows up, too, and the Combat tab in it's own window. Just because I like having information.

My view on RP boils down to the following:

Local: IC no matter what. No exceptions. OOC brackets ALWAYS used in OOC chat.

Emote: IC 99% of the time. OOC in rare occasions (such as being a pretentious twit trying to police the RP of other people through snide comments). OOC brackets not used.

Broadcast: OOC 99% of the time. IC in rare occasions (such as public radio messages or whatever). No OOC brackets used.

SG/Coalition: IC unless SG or coalition is not a roleplaying SG or coalition. OOC brackets used.

Tells: IC if reasoning is valid (telepathy, text messaging, phone, ear comm, ERP sessions). OOC otherwise. OOC brackets used with discretion - if it's a completely OOC conversation, none are used.

Team: IC if reasoning is valid (mind link, ear comms, radios, ERP sessions, etc). OOC if not an RP team. If team members are OOC, no OOC brackets will be used.

Help Chat/Arena Chat/Architect Chat/Request/etc: 100% OOC. No brackets used.

My hero characters try to save everyone they can. They're not warriors or assassins, they're heroes, and they're there to protect and serve the people - even if those people try to fight back.

The only things they would "kill" outright are robotic creatures, demons, Devouring Earth.... that kind of thing. Humans are never "killed", only "arrested".

cool story bro
