3 ideas for post-epic epics.These would be Ats you could only unlock after getting a Kheldian to level 50.

First idea, Gargantuans....give us the ability to grow to 50 feet tall, like Apache Chief or Giant-man.No travel powers needed because you could walk across a city in like 10 strides.Would be so freakin awesome to take on Lusca or Eochai and be as large as they are.Make the animations and powers minimal.Our weakness would be we couldnt go on certain missions...ie caves etc..if this cant be implemented then consider it as a temp power at the very least for the sheer coolness of it.

B. We have almost every power you could think of from the major comics companies with the exception of.....now dont laugh.....Plasticity....let us make a scrapper that can stand 20 feet away from a group and pimp slap one of em with his super stretchiness like plastic-man or leap into the air and wrap himself around two opponents squeezing the life out of em.I like the new additions like electric melee and armor to scrappers but recycling powersets between Ats is boring and not gonna do much to draw people away from the competition, nameley Champions Online and DCUniverse Online.Being cutting edge and thinking outside of the box in terms of creativity will.

3rd...Forget what I said about recycling powersets between Ats and let us make an epic thats truly epic and let those who have earned it match any combination of powers and powersets like in AE. Let me play an ice blaster with regen or sonic/stone tank.People who have left for the novelty of a new game will be back in droves and will have the ability to feel truly heroic which is what this game all about anyways

That's where the problem comes in, in your mind that's what makes a really good scrapper right??? WRONG.That's what makes a really good SOLO scrapper.Were talking about being on a team here, nuff said!

If you go back and look at all of Pine's posts it becomes abundantly clear that all he was trying to do was test his IO build and he didn't care about anyone else on the team.Yeah he said if he'd have known we were in trouble he would have came back blah blah blah but he never even bothered to check.I only buy so many excuses from someone ie "I'm very forgetful" or "I didn't realize" before I realize theyve been making excuses for themselves their whole life.
He posted here on the scrapper forums because it was the best place to find someone to agree with him and his bad behavior and honestly I'm over it.I'm not going to let one seriously selfish, egotistical 14 year old with a bad case of ADHD ruin my gameplay experience and frankly if you share the same views as him I'd rather not team with you anyway.

Just found out about this thread last night and wanted to post a reply because I'm the guy that kicked Pine off the task force.
Just to set the record straight I'm a veteran player that's been here since beta with a couple of vacations away from the game at various times.My main is a Dark Melee/Regen scrapper and yes my Stone Tank was power leveled in AE during double experience weekend.
I've ran that particular task force successfully on my main at least 12 times or more with some very good players (Leo-Yo-Sha, Mintmiki, Cyber-Crusader etc) with zero problems and a lot of fun.
I started the task force with the express purpose of seeing how well I could tank Romulus and I made it very clear from the outset what my intentions were.Pine was invited because we needed more damage not a pseudo-tank to take my place because I was too slow.I have two ranges slotted in teleport to mitigate that factor but the truth of the matter is I wasn't given a chance. Pine did state that he liked a challenge and he might run ahead but what he didnt tell you was he ran far ahead of all of us,caused a number of people to die because he couldnt hold aggro,and pretty much ruined the fun of at least two people who were experiencing the content for the first time.This was never advertised as a speed mission, our challenge settings were set at 2 hours.
In short it very quickly became all about him and his amazing uber-leetness.He may have been surviving but the rest of us weren't doing so well. A couple of times our Rad Defender couldn't get her Ra's off to everyone because he would aggro two or three groups at a time,couldn't hold the aggro and had the team spread out too widely for us to be very effective.I pulled as many as I could to me each time and we mopped up the damage while he ran off to the next group of mobs. At this point there was no team, no taking a rest, waiting for Ra's to come up, waiting for people to get back from the hospital etc.
Third mish, Pine pulled BOTH AV's before any of us had a chance to catch our breath from the last battle and kept taunting them off of me,I had to taunt the minions to keep them off of everyone else. Note: not everyone in our group had the survivability of a tank or scrapper and once again the only person Pine was really concerned about was himself.He even told me to stop taunting the last Av because it was HIS.
When we reached the last mish he once again jumped ahead of everyone and started the fight solo with the bad guys on the platform, we arrived in time to start mopping up the damage once again and before we were even finished he jumped ahead and started soloing Romulus.At this point in time I'd had it with him and his lack of being a team player (I had said from the outset that Romulus was mine)so I kicked him.It wasn't really fair to rest of the team and I am sorry about that, we did wipe twice and 15 minutes later the game came down for an emergency update so I don't know if we would have been able to finish even with him.
Pine, I strongly recommend you have yourself checked for ADHD, looking back over your post at the spelling mistakes, the way you started off stating that you were bored and the way you play while supposedly on a team is a strong indication that somethings not right.
As far as the people saying they want my global because they'll never team with me your'e welcome to have it,because if that's your idea of what a good player is like you've spent way to much time in AE yourself and you don't have a clue what this games all about.
