    I kind of want to see something like Stone, only much sleeker. Where the forcefield only covers parts of you. Granted, I'd like to see this for Ice shields too.

    Heh, that was actually my first thought seeing the mace. Very nice use of design time, two weapons for one design.

    Eh, should be ok anyway. Heck, not like I'd adverse to giving PS my money

  5. Yeah, we're going to have to pay for Street Justice and Beam Rifle.

    I'll clarify one piece of misinformation while I am here:

    Street Justice and Beam Rifle are Premium Powersets, and all players will need to purchase them to unlock them on their account (similar to how we had locked powersets behind the purchase of Going Rogue).

    I only ask because you have to use your subscription credit card for the latter, but the NCsoft Store allows Paypal, which is where my "fun money" goes....
    I don't know, but I hope we have to purchase the points through the NCSoft store too.

    Heh, yeah. Also, jetbikes.
  9. I like elements of this. I don't know what the Rogue Isles equivalent of a mob should be, doesn't seem much community to speak of to warrant a mob of civilians for torches and pitchforks.

    This. Also, not an archer.

    I'm hoping he's upgraded his lava lair, which most folks have seen already, to something more/bigger. Maybe pull a fake out, big build up and have the lair be the next to last mission. Sorry, but your Tyrant is in another castle.

    Not that I don't think the lava lair is impressive, but if we're going to have yet another grand hoe down showdown with him, it should be something new.

    Like a boss ambush at the end? I could dig that.

    Question for the OP, have you seen the hero morality mission where the map is entirely filled with pop-up guns and proximity bombs?
  13. With Dark getting ported over to blasters, is there any chance we can get a skullless version of the blasts and whatever else?

    For equality, you can make a Many Skulls version too, because those skulls have to go somewhere
  14. Seeing as we just got controllable Phantoms in the Lore portion of the Incarnate system, does anyone else get the feeling that we'll be seeing an Illusion Mastermind primary before a dominator one?

    And I get that, which is why I used spines/claws as an example. Well, that and it's the best example of integrated range and melee, outside of the assault sets.

    For my money, more attacks = more awesome. So, I'm willing to sacrifice a defense secondary or primary to get more awesome.

    That's lower on my wants list. I'd rather have some sort of blade or other hand to hand/natural melee as a secondary for blasters before I'd want it on the melee class.

    Mostly because I'd rather have a fuller set of attacks, don't care about the whining about redraw. Whereas, if it's a straight melee attack set for the hand to hand archetypes, you end up with something like Spines and Claws, where you end up with only 3 or 4 ranged attacks. I want something with a more robust set of attack options, which a blaster secondary would seem to accomodate better.

    At least I hope that's the case. Doms are so fun.
    Gun and Sword assault set, a la Sparkblade?

    Are you talking about "Nate's horrible abuse of power" powerset? Or is this another set?

    Nah, the joke should be a lovey dovey couple Praetorian side, just have them sickeningly saccharine, maybe lace half their conversations with baby talk and cutsie-poo nicknames.

    That, and unlocked for those with the Vanguard Pack, naturally. Also, maybe a scythe version.

    And maybe a pony...

  25. Aw man! I went through the trouble of making a Kin/Energy Brute and pushing all the way to heroside, and now this? If they change it across the board, will I have to respec my character to get all the nice goodies? Or is this just a Scrapper thing?

    (for the record, that's not an upset "Aw, man!" More, happy and interested.)
