I....

I'd like to see said picture...

I assume by "debuffs" you mean a trade-off for the improvements they receive.

If the set is lagging behind the performance of other sets --which Sonic, Forcefield and Trick Arrow are largely viewed as doing-- I don't think there has to be any trade-off for improvements to powers, because improving the overall power level of the set is the goal.

This is the problem I have with every/any/all the very stylized sets. Just by virtue of being so stylized they narrow the concepts that they work with.

Hmm, I'm not sure if the Meat Doctors are still working for Doctor V anymore though... it's certain that Doc V and Doc Buzzsaw had a bit of a falling out, and Doc Buzzsaw moved to the Rogue Isles where she works with the Freaks, it's unclear if the other meat doctors followed her lead, or if they're still loyal to Doctor V, though it seems iffy that Doc Buzzsaw would work with Freaks if the Freakshow was dealing with her old mentor.

(If all the Meat Doctors went with Doc Buzzsaw, it would at least explain why you don't see them blueside.)

Really now? Well then I just might be able to eventually get it then. I'm 4 tokens away from filling tier8, so I'll need it to be available or at least 7 more months to buy it all.


That said, even after I have it, I wouldn't be opposed to it being made available to non-VIP9s in some other way.

I could actually see her (potentially) changing Arachnos considerably.* She is bound to and serves Arachnos and if she felt that a certain change would benefit the organization, she'd essentially be obligated to make it.

She doesn't necessarily have to agree with Lord Recluse's decisions, but as she is bound to Arachnos, and he is the head of Arachnos, she obeys. It was never said (and would be highly unrealistic to think) that she had the exact same views on the goals, objectives and future well-being of the organization as Lord Recluse did when she was alive, and as you mentioned, the dead cannot change, so she would still have those differing views now.



*Though that's highly unlikely given the amount of work that would be required to overhaul THE major 1-50 faction for the villain game. Just sayin.

Edit: It could make for a decent bit of content too. You could have a power struggle after Recluse dies, with the Patrons fighting among themselves (Moreso than they do currently) to claim ultimate leadership. With various outside groups doing their best to manipulate the situation for their own gain.

Scirocco would probably just throw in with GW if she batted her vacant little eyes at him. Which could ultimately be the deciding factor leading to her winning power. He would, of course try to manipulate her into moving the organization towards the "good" cause he's all anti-villain/tragic villain/Emo or whatever, but of course he'd fail.

Eye of the Storm really is the main offender. Given that it's likely the major AoE of the set though, that's a pretty big negative.

Agree 100%. Some of them (particularly the break dance one) are SO flashy that they're just.... cheesy (to me).

I was really looking forward to Staff Fighting too.

Wasn't my intention to chastise you for it, just a friendly warning that it may not be viewed well by the Mods.

Only the Elemental Order stuff. The Carnival of Light stuff (Almost entirely exclusive to Females) is it's own thing, and not involved with the Super Packs at all.

It actually it workable, and already exists in the game, just not in any Player powers.

Hamidon has a tag on his attacks so that they ignore phase. Player Intangible powers could have the [Ignores Phase] tag added. That would allow them to be applied to already phased/intangible targets.


The real downside to it is that making it a toggle actually makes it worse for the situations where it's actually useful, because Toggles don't start recharging until they're turned off, so unless it has a ridiculously low recharge (like, 0seconds), you can never have it anything close to permanent, like you can make it now.

Also there's issue of getting mezzed and it shutting off before the full duration. Running out of end/getting sapped, and it shutting off before the full duration. Getting killed, and it shutting off. Or simply fat-fingering the button and accidentally shutting it off before you meant to.

Err.... crap.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

I'd be careful with that, Bumping is actually against Forum Rules.

Indeed. There will be a beta phase though, maybe they'll realize that 0.3scale isn't enough to really matter and bump it up a bit. (In addition to other improvements, hopefully.)

Good.

They can give the Carnival to someone who actually makes sense. Like Penelope. By the end of the WWD arc she'll have had a good bit of time (and help) to recover from her experience in the Seers.

Penny can just pick up her mother's mask from Des when she leaves, and take up her mother's place at the head of the Resistance.

15.85Damage for Dominators, 9.18Damage for Controllers (18.36 if Impact benefits from Containment, which I doubt).


Personally, I'm discussing what changes we have heard about, while also hoping there are more than we haven't.

Am I excited about these changes? Yes. At least we know they're looking at it.

Am I Satisfied with these changes? No. Not at all. This is at best a good Start, but it doesn't address the most critical problem of the set (Poor/Clunky control.)
