Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work. So far GR seems great! I love pretoria! It makes me wish I didn't have to go back to primal earth at 20. I hope we continue to see that level of quality in future zone updates, new areas, and maybe even other alternate universes that are added to the game in future.

Quote:I tried to run a utility belt style character and stack up on tazers, revolvers and the like but it was just too much bother make much less keep refreshing the temp powers before 20. I think the convenience of the Vet powers kind of makes up for a lot on low level characters who don't have decent ways to get around and/or craft on the go.By level 10, I've thrown the Jet Pack and Jump Pack on top of that.
I agree, though, while I use the Vet Reward attacks on Defenders, Controllers, Masterminds and Corruptors, as well as those where it fits concept, for the most part I don't really use them. In fact, in two cases I have chosen to use a Revolver purchased from the Market in place of either the Blackwand or Nemesis staff. It's not really that expensive currently to keep buying it and the salvage required. (In fact, I usually find the salvage on my other characters and just mail it to the one with the Revolver)
And the Prestige Sprints, while they are separate powers, aren't really all useful. You really only need one of them. I suppose being able to change the effect is nice, but they're all the same in terms of gameplay.
Edit: Of course anyone with vet power probably can get around that easy enough anyway so this really only applies to new players without highish level alts or vet powers. -
Quote:Heh true. However unless they one day change it so you get higher stamina regen the lower you fury is life before 20 is still going to be rough for Brutes who have a lot of toggles or a few early high endurance attacks.
I love you.
And yes, I too am enjoying the Brute changes on my low-level Brute. I no longer have to deal with "OH CRAP OH CRAP I'M RUNNING OUT OF ENDURANCE...BUT MY FURY IS DROPPING...SCREW ENDURANCE! CHAAAARGE!!!!"
People just don't like Nerfs, balance or no. Typically people are having fun, even when over powered, and a nerf threatens that. Negativity is only natural, particularly if holding fury wasn't a problem for your character before and see this only as a negative rather then giving a little to get a little.
Probably why some of the new new powers sets seem a little under powered since no one is going to be complain if they are buffed later to improve them after the flashy shock of the new has worn off. -
More MM Primaries sounds like a good idea to me.

So has there been a suggestion about custoization of the Martial arts power? such as change the kicks to punches?

Yes, Bab said the ideal way to do it, and avoid making a new street fighting set, would be to allow people to chose from a set of animations when choosing a power. He also said that anythign like that would be far off.
You may can dig through his post history and find the comment.

It is good to know they are at least thinking about that. I think custom animations of this sort would make a lot of people happy. A long way away is awful vague though.
I wonder if that means.
We think we can do this, we hope we can do it in 2009-10.
or
We hope one day technology and resources will make this possible.

Hey listen, we get it, but it just isn't in the cards. Sorry. I gotta get back to work on that street fighting set which we actually CAN do.
