I cant tell you how excited I am for our games future, and although we have some major announcements yet to be made, one of the things I can talk about is a feature that we are planning. Similar in concept to our character creator, it allows you, the players, to create missions and story arcs for your characters and others to participate in. Youll be able to pick the map, villain group, and objectives, as well as write the dialog and any clues needed for the missions. When you are satisfied with it, you can upload it and have other players across all servers play it and rate it. Fame will come to the players whose stories rate the best overall. It is features like these that we never dreamed of including when we first shipped, but are excited to be able to offer players very soon.

Stop it! STOP IT!! First Ice Melee!! Then Powerset Proliferation!! If I keep yelling out excited explitives at work, I'm going to get fired!!
Does this include NPC dialog inside the missions? Much like when you walk in on someone's conversation or when you free a captive in the game now? -
618th after a Red Name!
Yay slots! Now to think of a way to explain to my wife why spending another $20 on the game is detrimental to my well-being. -
Wow! Schweet QoL changes! This is going to help in some decision making when all the new power sets come out. And it's going to speed up the characte creation mode a little more. It's obvious the devs are listening to suggestions brought up in the forums, cheers to them (shameless attempt for a beta invite!)
With Powerset Proliferation I was pumped up for I12 already. This (and any other features) are just extra gravy to indulge myself on. (shameless attempt for a beta invite!)
The devs are sexy. (shameless attempt for a beta invite!) -
I'd hate to be Mid's right now.

DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM....
Just getting that out of the way for the nay-sayers.
What was all this guff about i12 getting overlooked for the most part because i13 is supposed to be more stuff. If this is overlooking, then i13's going to cause head explosions across the country.
ZOMGZ! i12 looks awesome!
So.... when's i13 coming out? -
It would be great to have storage units that worked with different permission levels. Bear with me here...
When promoting people inside our SG, we give permission to those we've learned are trustworthy to storage units. But it would be nice to have storage units that could be used by those outside that permission limit. So something like Insp. Storage Unit A permitted to 3rd tier members and higher, and Insp. Storage Unit B permitted to all.
Is that too nitpicky? -

Now some people I've seen have no Slow enhancements in thier Chilling embrace, this baffles me. Chilling embrace, if you're herding, is absolutly fantastic 3 slotted with Slow IO's. Add those to the Pacing of the Turtle "Chance for Recharge Slow" IO I have in mine, and everything around me is slowed to the point that they can attack me about a third of normal.

H_D,
Great guide and build. My one Ice/EM has over 100% regen bonus and I have noticed a huge difference. After seeing this, I may look at putting even more in. One thing though, the -rech of CE is unenhanceable. Only the run speed debuff is enhanced. I think this is why people who herd would prefer not to use them. And kudos to your for pointing out the awesomeness of EA in a group, not enough people realize how great that is. -

Their PR department said "that won't go over well... just blame it on the RMTers"

In the 80's, the bad word was Communist.
Eventually it became Terrorist.
Now it's RMTers.
Seriously though, this seems like it would be easier to exploit for farming. -
Woot! That was a fun event. Next wednesday I'm going to have to try and make more time for it, and stick around for more than just one raid. My tank, SCP-2300, felt very powerful once on the ship. I only died once, and that was with the GM. Got some great screen caps too!

(Off topic)
That's the second K-9 avatar I've come across today. Eerie. -
I've never participated in a raid before, so hopefully I can join a team and get a little tutoring in. I've got a level 50 Ice/EM tank that really wants some merits, and I've been told this is the way to do it. That, and raids are too fun not to join in on. I hope I can make it tonight.

Do we need to show up with a team, or are teams formed at the meeting spot?

In Issue 12 (no release date yet, sorry), we are going to have you never dropping below 50% Inf. earn rate when in Supergroup mode. We will look at the impact of that change and base future alterations on that.

/e Poops Pants!
For someone in a small SG, this is going to make things so much better. I'm naming my firstborn Positron! Wether it be a boy or girl! -
Water
Category: Style
Customizable? Yes.

Real Numbers
As a general quality of life improvement we will be adding new functionality in a coming version of the game to display the real numbers behind your characters and their powers. This includes a user configurable display of important characteristics such as movement rate, regeneration rate, resistances and many more! Additionally, you will be able to see how those statistics are affected in real time by buffs and/or debuffs affecting your character.

**puts on new underwear**
So, would this mean that while playing, you'll see which IO bonuses are being activated? And would this mean, oh please please please, that us tankers would have a way of measuring guantlet's effect??? -

I had set up something very similar to this on Test, but found the need to reload the bind or cancel out if you miss to be a bit clunky.
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes, but the question I posed would not require reloading. You push 7, and 1-3 remain the same. So if the first attack misses, just push 1 again, and you're still set.

This way I can keep switching my left hand between the left side of the number key row and the movement keys while my right hand stays on the mouse.
[/ QUOTE ]
Would you need the mouse that often when staying in melee range fights? Other than for maybe selecting a very specific target in a group, I can't see needing it that often mid-fight. But that could just be my playstyle.
As for tray swapping... I avoid that as much as possible. Though I will admit it helps tremendously in my Peacbringer when form shifting. -

Would it be easier in the long run to set up a key bind like those made for Masterminds. Where pushing one keypad button sets up three other keypad buttons to be attacks in the combo. Then, pushing another button would change those three buttons to be a different combo. Thus, allowing for misses in the combo.
For example:
Set Numpad7 up to make numpads 1-3 to be the Weaken combo.
Set Numpad8 up to make numpads 1-3 to be the Empower combo.
This also would allow for people unfamiliar or uncomfortable with .txt filing to set them up in fewer steps? Just asking. -
I like the 2nd version as well. Maybe introduce a color on small pieces, but nothing more. Looks solid.
By the by, I just got back into the game since i8, and wanted to know which gloves are those? Are they invention pieces? -
Wow. Just wow. If I could get my ice tank (look at avatar) with icicles included, that would be awesome. Oh, and if I could get it for less, that would be super too. But you get what you pay for. $100 for a 4 inch figure, painted, ain't bad. Did you see the example photos? These look like McFarlane-like quality.
-
Great and Insightful guide, MM. Having not played between i8 and now, I was wondering what you thoughts were on Gift of the Ancients, and throwing it in on top of the Fantastic 4. I'm not sure if GotA came in after i9 or not, so was wondering why you didn't bring it up.

MoG is great in pvp...I dont see why ever dislikes it...can be great if your a not a [censored]
[/ QUOTE ]
What's with this "It's good in PvP so don't change it" mentality? Should we just have the devs mark such powers so we know in advance not to take it if we don't care about PvP (like the majority of players)? Just because someone has fun with it in PvP (and I find it hard to believe that they have), doesn't mean the power is "useful" in PvE terms. No powers should be specifally geared towards PvP, IMO. If you like PvP, I'm not knockin' on you, I just don't think you need to think it's the "end all, be all" of the game, and that it doesn't matter how the power works in PvE. I won't be doing the same with PvE. Powers need to be useful in both arenas.
But seriously, if 90% of people who post about MoG think its sucks, then perhaps we're onto something here, and it's really not a bunch of people pissin' and moanin'. I have yet to hear someone who likes the power describe "how to use it". I just hear them say "if you knew how". Which makes me wonder. Maybe I've missed some posts, I'm sure, but the popular voice sure makes a better argument here.
