They could be quadruplets, but Imperious seems to be in the worng timeline.
Back to the point: At some point, there will be deformed twins wanting revenge! IT CAN HAPPEN! -

He's focusing on the twin statement, suggesting that Statesman and Tyrant are brothers from the same mother from the same dimension, instead of having been born in separate dimensions.
Actually, I'm suggesting that in our world, the one who lived (we'll call him "A") became Statesman while "B" died at birth. In Praetoria, "A" died and "B" survived. They are... uh.... twins! I tell you, there's some Marcus' running around here somewhere!

It's not "twin" as in family relation - it's "twin" as in something identical
Elvis had one, so could Marcus! -

Uhm no I see nothing new except a nice cossie? It is common knowledge that Tyrant = Evil Statesman. You see something new then?
Evil Twin.
Statesman obviously had a twin brother. Like Elvis. Except, in that world, the man who would be our Statesmen died!

Does anyone see what I see there?

Becuase frankly, A) While I can upgrade individual components within my PC (and do), actually building one from scratch would make my head spin. B) I don't have the TIME to do that sort of shopping and assembly, and 3) Because well, it's a helluva lot easier.
As a result, I'm not exactly willing to drop another couple hundred bucks to pick up a 64-bit OS when my current one seems to run just fine for pretty much everything I chuck at it.
...there's a strange undercurrent of elitism running through certain members of this thread: "Ultra mode should only be for teh hardcorez gamerz who have loads of cash to spend on their system to keep it bleeding edge"...which frankly, isn't good business for Paragon, 'cause that is NOT where the majority of PC gamers are.
I'm hoping my vid card can support most of the innovations, but we'll see. I may yet need to upgrade.
Seriously, I used to think the same way, and then...
I realized that building a computer (NOT PROGRAMMING! <----) is just adult Legos. Stuff only goes in one spot.
Loads of cash? I have a rig worth 6 grand on Dell/Alien and built it over 2 years for about 1000 total.
You know how I learned to build a comp?
Tada! -

What about those that post and have no issues with it? Or those who don't post because... they have no issues with it? Rather hard to count that last group. If you're just going by those who complain in a support (even unofficial support) area, well, every product is "*censored.*"
And how many of those issues are, frankly, user created?
(For the record - Win7 Home Premium, 64 bit, no issues at all - with *any* program I've thrown at it, I should add.)
Had a major non_page BSoD problem, but that was because my RAM voltage settings were off (cus I'm a n00b). All fixed. -

Then there is the dearth of software outside of the *nix world that is actually compiled to take advantage of the performance increases or additional memory usage capabilities that 64bit computing offers. Yes, high profile programs from Adobe did come in 64bit versions, but they were exceptions.
So, so true.
But what foo' buys their system straight from Dell? Like I said, Ultra mode is for ULTRA players. :P -

That would require a 64bit Operating System though.
And lets face it, the majority of players out there are not running 64bit Operating Systems.
Don't blame me cus you weren't willing to pay the extra 30 bucks for a long-term investment. Like buying a Socket AM2 because the Socket AM3's would be backwards compatible.
Ultra mode is for players who are ULTRA.
PS - Hey, Seist, you use Linux? How is it? -
My second one thing would be jetpack costume pieces. Not just the standard "Sky Raider" jet pack either. Maybe a sleek and small pair of back thruster, or even some kind of anti-gravity belt that radiates bluish energy when you fly.

Hmmmm.

Welcome to the game, Sivitry!
Alrighty, Super Strength is a powerful set, and pairing it with Willpower usually makes for a character that can crush just about anything in its way. Claws is comparative in terms of attack power because its attacks recharge quickly. It also has more AoE (Area of Effect) attacks than Super Strength does. I'd say that the difference is a matter of preference, but that both of them would probably work well for a newer player.
For the secondary, I'd suggest Willpower. It's simply the easiest secondary set to use, and it works great with brutes.
Invulnerability is a set that has the most Resistance in the game, which means that you'll always be hit by enemies, but the damage you take is reduced, sometimes to the point where your normal regeneration is enough to heal the damage you take. It has strong protection against just about everything other than psychic damage.
Super Reflexes is a Defense secondary, meaning that it helps you dodge enemy attacks. Enemies will have a harder time hitting you, but when you ARE hit then you'll take full damage. It also has a power that makes all your other powers recharge faster, and it always on once you get it.
Electric armor is sort of like Invulnerability, but it exchanges some of Invulnerability's higher resitances for for powers that will help you fight. You may take a little omre damage than an invulnerability Brute, but you'll deal more damage. It also looks pretty sweet, in my opinion.
Stone Armor is defenitely the powerset with the best protection in the game, and its last power turns you into a giant rock golem with ridiculously high resistance and defense to damage. tTHIS COMES AT A PRICE, HOWEVER, because Stone Armor brutes are VERY, VERY slow as a result of their powers, and their choice in travel powers is limited. Also, your powers recharge slower, lowering your damage. Not everyone wants to play this way, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case you were one of the one who do.
Um. Hi?
You forgot FA and EA.
Fiery Aura has a lot of good "recovery" powers that mitigate its low resistance (good self heal and endurance recovery). Energy Aura is a typed defense set and has a lot of flexibility if you don't mind taking hits.
to be brutally (hehe, I made a funny) honest, if you want to steamroll something... make any /WP or /SR brute and Go. Kil Skuls. -
Quote:I can verify. Got on my earth/rad, "Septic Tank Hank," and spawned Big Brown over the edge. He was flushed into the annals of time, I guess.Originally Posted by Weatherby Goode
To verify this, I spawned my PooMan over the edge. He dropped down to the very bottom of the sea. No teleport. Clearly Silos has some sort of piltering program on his safety teleport system.

Time travel? PREPOSTROUS!.... Maybe.

Ohhhh, that explains Silos' profile:
"Mender Silos is over 10 billion years old. He has mastered the ability to transport objects across space and time. This has caused certain galaxies to cower in fear whenever Silos goes out for Up-N-Away Burgers. An entire civilization was wiped out when a spatial rip appeared and destroyed them in the event only called: 'The Big Browning.'"
Lest we forget, the Menders are masters of war and terror. -

You mortals dare to attempt comprehension of the multiverse and time itself? Arrogance. Even the insane god of the Shard dare not tread where the darkness grows. The Menders are but a tool in the great cogs of destruction.
