Finally back from out of town, so I'll hit on this:
Quote:Red-brown and the like, I have no problem with. It's when they make his hair the fire red that is on display there, I get annoyed. I dislike the trend because it always managed to conflate WallyWest!Kid Flash together with BartAllen!Kid Flash.Originally Posted by Samothrake
I agree that Kid Flash's costume is too busy. As are most of them. I did some checking and I best I was able to find out is that he 'officially' before Flash Point has 'auburn' colored hair. Auburn, as defined by Encarta is "dark coppery red or reddish-brown" with synonyms "redheaded, auburn-haired, chestnut-haired, ginger, sandy."
It's picky, yes, but it's just one more step robbing Bart of his individuality.
As was pointed out Iris Allen actually has no blood relation with the Wests. Though it does appear there is some red hair in one of the lines as Iris' and Barry's children, Don and Dawn, are red-heads.Quote:Iris Allen is Wally's aunt, and since there's blood relation there, it would seem that there's some red in the family. I see no reason why a grandson of Barry and Iris couldn't be more readheaded than boring brown.
As for "boring brown"... name a speedster who has brown hair. In fact, name a big name superhero or at least one who is attached to a big name (i.e., sidekick/partner) who has brown hair.
Off the back of my hand, I can only name two and even then they're slightly obscure and unlikely to be picked out by name by non-fans.
YES.Quote:You mean this costume?
Think I would have preferred it without the red above the shield, but it still looks good
That suit is MILES above that horrible black thing. -
I'm rather liking Tim's new costume as well. Or at least the idea behind it.
I think it's just a bit too busy with all the strappings and pads and stuff. Trim some of that back and it'll be pretty good.
Kid Flash's suit... is a mess. At least now we can see that those aren't big ol' red eyebrows, but actually part of the cowl that just looks like big ol' red eyebrows.
That's also a very odd cut to the cowl, just looks weird in the second image. Really though, like Tim's, this costume is just way too busy. Keep the lightning motif trims, but lose the "ringer" bolts at the waist and forearms. And do something with that rather derpy cowl. It's like taking all the worst aspects of cowls and boiling them down into one really bad iteration. And finally, if that is supposed to be Bart as they've said, well, BART IS NOT A REDHEAD.
Superboy's non-costume continues to evolve into something completely unrelated to both Superman and superheroics. I disliked the T-shirt and jeans combo when it first came out... and this is looking even worse. Why couldn't the return of his awesome second costume be done here instead of this rather uninspired dreck?
Wondergirl's isn't too bad. It's combining the looks of a couple of previous WG suits and still adding its own flair to them. Not really digging the scarf bit though. Just looks out of place.
And I have no idea who Smog Lass, Spider Girl or Fist Person Thing are. Does anyone know? -
Quote:I am ambivalent on Tim's new costume, and while I do kinda-sorta like the new origins on certain characters... OMGWTFBBQ is up with Superboy's and Kid Flash's costumes? And who is that on the ground there? And in the back? Tha hell?Originally Posted by Hazmatter
Teen Titans - oooookay... well, we know what Tim's doing in the relaunch (and his new Red Robin suit actually looks pretty cool compared to the others; do I detect a hint of Original Nightwing in the design?), but the rest... gah. And I guess Superboy's getting his own book, too.
It's revenge of the 90s and not in a good way!
And wait... KF there is supposed to be BART?! Oh hell naw.
I know there are some people out there who like Liefeld's art. But at this point, he's just there for the shock factor to get people interested. I cannot for the life of me see him actually sticking around on a project for more than a year at most.Quote:Hawk & Dove - LIEFELD?!?!? They gave freakin' LIEFELD art chores on this series?? I don't know or care who Sterling Gates is right now, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!? How does this guy keep getting work outside of his creator-owned schlock? Does he have blackmail on someone at DC or somethig?
I've met Liefeld. I've talked with him. The man is a dick.
Oh, and Sterling Gates is a decent writer. I believe he wrote Supergirl for a while and helped do War of the Supermen. -

Dick is Nightwing again. Babs is Batgirl again. Damien is still Robin. Still no word yet on the status of Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown or Cassandra Cain, though...
OK, I admit that I like Damien!Robin a bit, but seriously? Man, DC is committed to erasing the late-80s to late-90s, aren't they? -
Oh yeah, also?
Just because you want to use Emps to buy stuff doesn't mean you can't also use Astrals.
By the time you get 25 Emps to buy a glowy armor piece? You can also buy another piece with the 100 Astrals you earned along the way.
So it'd only take 25 days of three trials/day to get the full set of glowy armor. -
Quote:Misleading FTL.Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Hope you like the grind, ladies and gents, because it costs 401 emp merits to get the entire set of glowy Acension armour.
It only costs 150 Emps for the glowy Acension armor.
It costs 401 for:
Glowy Armor
Basic Armor
14 Auras
11 Emblems
9 Emotes
To get the entire set of glowy armor only costs 150 (at these current placeholder prices). If you want EVERYTHING else as well as the glowy armor, it's 401. -
The Batman Begins music was a nice touch.
That said, pretty awesome! -

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
A chain power with procs for AoE confusion while chaining more confusion? Win. -

Does anyone know of any plans to enable the Hybrid, Genesis, Mind, Vitae, and Omega slots?

That is an awesome site. Plus it finally gave me the answer to a question I'd been wondering about for a couple of years.
Thanks! -
Still not liking the whole "bio-tech" look/feel of the costume and all.
But... that was the first trailer that really made me go "wow" over this movie. That did look pretty interesting. -

Quote:Just because something has remained OP for a set duration of time does not mean it is not OP.Originally Posted by Edana
Considering that the way interface works with rain powers was pointed out all the way back in i19 beta it would be rather annoying for it to get "fixed" now after people have based their interface choice on its current mechanics and spent hours grinding trials to get them slotted.

Quote:It should, yes. But only at a 50% rate, unlike the 100% rate that Single Target attacks get when used from Hide.Originally Posted by Dark_Inferno
cool. Kinetics/Ninjitsu it is.
btw does "Burst" crit? -
A wild Cottage Rule appears!

Quote:Wow... they must've really wanted to meet you. Sheesh, broke the dimensional barrier just to run into your fists.Originally Posted by Prodiguy
That certainly explains why I got attacked by Hellions in a Praetorian police station.

Quote:Yes. ALL the Judgement slots get buffed by the Musculature Alpha.Originally Posted by Tired Angel
The Judgement slot is affected by the Alpha slot (well everything apart from Recharge from Spiritual) so you are getting a +45% damage.
From Dispari's thread in the guides section:
BUT... they're not supposed to be buffed by things like Build Up, Aim, Vengeance, +DMG IO bonuses, etc. That's what Ion's jumps are getting. The initial hit is working correctly, but every jump after it is inheriting all the +DMG buffs from the caster. -
Quote:Waah.Originally Posted by Bad_Influence
PLease stop screaming for bug-fixes, we spent 50 levels being absurdly underpowered, we get one ACTUAL SUPER POWER and people are like "O Lordy, let's fix this now."
They're going to nerf it into the ground soon enough. Shhh. At the moment I am too busy channelling Electro, one of my favorite supervillains.
Those of us who are saying it's bugged are merely acknowledging what's very evident to anyone who actually uses the power. If even mentioning that something is not working "properly" is equivalent to "screaming for bug-fixes" and saying "O Lordy, let's fix this now" then I fully expect to never hear from you on any sort of problem you might have.
Personally, I chose Ion before I knew it was bugged. It was thematic for my Elec/Elec Dom. I'm still going to use it once it's fixed because I like it. But that doesn't mean it's not working correctly.
It's not and it'll get fixed when it does. In the mean time, I'm going to continue enjoying the power, but still acknowledge that it's bugged. -

Quote:I doubt you'd see much difference whether it was a Brute or Defender.Originally Posted by CBeet
I now wish to see a fulcrum shifted to damage cap Brute use a Very Rare Ion Judgement against 3 AVs.
The Ion jumps use the NPC damage cap which is 400% (+300%). That puts it around the 1800-1900 range once maxed. -
Quote:Best I've had so far was a double hit at 1800 against a Roman boss during an ITF.Originally Posted by Dr_Mechano
Hardest I've seen my Very Rare judgement Ion hit is it once cranked up to a truly incredulous 1500 damage per mob with Rage + whatever the Heroic align damage buff is called + very rare damage Alpha and a boatload of red insps.
Wish I'd screenshotted that.
I'm gonna miss it once it's fixed, but yeah. Ion is sooooo bugged. -
Quote:Possibly. But also you'd still reach target saturation where it can't bounce to any because it just came from there.Originally Posted by blueruckus
Is each 'bounce back' considered another target? In other words, will the T4 ion (40 targets) have more bounce backs against a mob of 16 enemies as opposed to the T1 ion (16 targets)?
Also, I fully expect this to get "fixed" to disallow multishot. Ion is already bugged and needs a fix as is. -
Beware the fire chickens.

I'm not on an Elec/ Blaster, but I am on an Elec/Elec Dom. I'm totally going for the Gravitic. That extra -Recov proc will prove to be quite handy, especially since I've got the -END covered pretty well.
Plus a bit of -Special and -Rech never hurt. -
