Quote:Whirling Hands and the Snipe are skippable in /Energy. For Mind/Eenrgy you can probably settle on Total Domination instead of Telekinesis; TD is easier to use than TK, and Power Boost + Domination helps with its short duration. Get Mass Hypnosis, it will let you sleep whole groups and kill them one by one with your single target /Energy attacks.Originally Posted by Sloshed
Any advice on powers to avoid or must take for mind/ or /energy? -
Quote:It should, yes. As I understand it adding yet a third stealth effect on top of that won't do anything, you'll hit the stealth cap.Originally Posted by plainguy
I completely forgot about the bold part above. For PvE reasons I think that SS with Cloaking Device might be enough then for stealth runs when needed.

Even though the wiki doesn't say this, weren't there a whole bunch of "civilian" and "official" bits added? (Like the police belt and various jackets?)
Also, there was the Flies aura added at some point. And a bunch of new aura options; eyes-and-hands instead of just eyes or hands, for example.

I tend to ignore costumes like those. Nothing says humdrum to me more than spandex. -
Quote:It's OK; its main weakness is that it is almost pure psi damage and so slogs against all the enemies with high psi resistance.Originally Posted by Sloshed
Is Mind/Psi so much worse than Mind/Fire?
-
I've heard that /Earth Assault works OK with Grav. An extra hold to stack and knockdown/back to help with the poor control pre-Wormhole. And Power Boost, too.

I have The Accelerated Man, a Fire/Super Reflexes Scrapper. His fire attacks are supposed to be due to him using the same powers that speed up his body to accelerate the random motions of nearby air molecules until they become flame.
Synaptic Shock is the product of an attempt to duplicate Synapse's powers; an Elec/SR Stalker. Better single target damage than other Electric melee users.
Another possibility would be Dual Blades/SR; DB looks very fast to me with all the fancy slashing animations. -
Demons would be preferable because they have a melee-heavy Tier 3 pet to use your Noxious Gas on. Both because it's an aura around the henchman, and because it's stronger on a tier 3 henchman than a lower one.

Ha, yes. "Back to filing papers for him!" And the predicted time kept jumping back and forth between 2 and 6 hours.

Quote:I didn't have long to anticipate it - only after she announced her arrival - but I suddenly found myself anticipating the Mayhem Mission fight between Angry Spark my Elec/WP brute and Ms Shock. Two electricity using superladies fighting! They must be each others archnemesis or something, probably hated each other in school.Originally Posted by NightshadeLegree
Ever find that, for one reason or another, you find yourself really anticipating one particular fight, despite the fact it's just one of many any character will have?

Quote:There was also the separation of Tails and Belts into separate slots so we can have both.Originally Posted by AmazingMOO
But, let's be honest here. The last real change to the functionality of the Costume Creator was the ability to save and load costumes, back with issue 13, back in 2008.
It's arguable that the changes to the Character Creator interface, including Power Customization, are also important changes since they affect the way a character can be customized. Even so, those happened many moons ago, back in September, 2009. -
Quote:That does sound more like Fire/Psi than Mind/Fire. And Fire/Psi is an excellent combo in its own right.Originally Posted by The Demacian
A proper Annie should be great AoE damage, some occasional stuns (or holds, they're practically the same), and if I'm very lucky some of her other traits like a PBAoE fire toggle, a pet that's on fire, and good "mana" management would be nice. Annie D's nuking power is constant and powerful, but the clutch stun and/or AoE stun is really why a team would take her.

Quote:That reminds me, there's an open air concession stand on (I think) Nerva that has a door on one side. You can easily see both sides of the door and that it doesn't lead anywhere but inside the stand, but it sometimes works as a mission door - it's the Concession Stand of the Time Lords!Originally Posted by Spinomania
In founder falls, there's a single wall outside, you can jump over it, it's like a fence, really.
There's a dooor in that wall, and you can enter it.
It always amused me. -
Quote:Those aren't really civilians. They are clearly Incarnates in civilian dress. They'd had their Omega Slot for years.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Oh please the civilians in this game don't use hospitals. They are invulnerable and shove heros and villains around like they aren't even there.

Quote:In Paragon City? Don't be absurd. Hoverchairs! That's the ticket.Originally Posted by Ssyrie
Not necessarily. Even if advanced cybernetic prosthesis are available, you can't force them on someone. Some people might refuse because of personal reasons. Others may refuse because of religious reasons. So yes, there still could be people in wheelchairs.
The Cultural Direction & Education Center in Imperial City has no bathroom for men that I've been able to find, just multiple ones for women.Quote:Originally Posted by Wolf Bait
So guys what are some of the crazy layouts you have seen? -
I've used it on /Traps masterminds to drop a random minion on untriggered traps in the middle of a fight. Sometimes nothing steps on your trap, so I convert enemy minions into triggers.
Quote:I'm not sure if the game engine can handle that. Are there any existing powers that can be used to target both enemy and ally?Originally Posted by Goblin_Queen
I'd like to see it merged and turned into Teleport Other. -
It is supposed to be fixed in the Issue 20 Beta.
Quote:It's been bugged for a long time.Originally Posted by Avatea
Corruptor Radiation Emission - Lingering Radiation now debuffs run speed like other versions of this power. -
Both of those are great combos. Plant/Psi is also good.

Quote:About the only con with Elec/Energy would be Power Push* knocking targets out of Static Field & Conductive Aura; that can be solved by taking the single target immobilize since it stops knockback. Mind/Energy is a strong combination too.Originally Posted by Agnor
Also, while I'm almost certainly going to go Energy Assault for my secondary, but if there's a good reason to not do so with either of those primaries, I'd love to know.
*It's a strong attack these days, not the skippable power it once was. -
/petsay_all <em eat>
They all start gnawing on large bones; properly demonic behavior, and quiet. -
Yes, it's fun. It feels powerful. I'm getting the urge to play my Energy/Storm corruptor...

Quote:The other reason they put it in the store was that it didn't cost them any development time - it already existed after all. It apparently hasn't sold much, which is why few people have seen it; but they said at the time they didn't expect it to. As I recall, they were somewhat surprised some people said they'd pay for it, and basically shrugged "why not?" and made it purchasable.Originally Posted by Silver Gale
"no, that's just the 30-day jetpack that we gave out as a promo to newtime players that one time, then put it in our online store for the equivalent price because some of our older players said they'd like to have it too, and that most people don't bother getting because it's not really that game-changing"

Well it's kind of difficult to when you're effectively a brain in a jar. Seriously, the dude probably lost his bits ages ago.
He's not very smooth with the ladies.Quote:Fake Nemesis: "Please, my dear, do not fret! Your 'Vanguard' society has simply gone too far, and had to be corrected. It was all quite humorous, but steps had to be taken. Now, don't let it trouble your pretty little head."

Then again, at his age he may think that avoiding the use of phrases like "silence wench!" is enough to make him suave. -
Quote:Another vote for this; I'd promptly transfer several characters to the two English speaking servers and start a 1 person SG on each. As it is, I'm uncertain as to whether or not I should make a character or two I'm thinking of now then transfer them later, or wait until the server list is changed.Originally Posted by DumpleBerry
They should provide a brief period of free server transfers.

Quote:Oh, looking at those girls there's definitely some Good Cop material in the PPD. As opposed to the Paragon PD, which uses the Good Cop/Bad Cop In Power Armor with Heavy Machinegun/Paramilitary Loony With Flamethrower method.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Actually, the PPD use the Bad Cop/Worse Cop method
