But how would you activate many powers from on a motorcycle, or in a car? It would require 3 new animations for EVERY power in the game that could be used on it. That is an astronomical amount of work for this. And means another 3 animations for each power for each vehicle, or for each new power that gets created, slowing down new powerset releases.

    Then you also have strafing issues, over-water issues, in-mission issues, up-hill/down-hill issues, etc.
    Except for Rocketboard. Magic Carpet. No attack powers. Problem solved.

    So, flying vehicles doable. Now, if only we could get a flying jetbike. Though... Y'know, with that new one-off pop up bar, I bet they could add something like rocket launchers to a flying jetbike...

    This, this and this and this again for good measure.

    Like every other NPC in Pocket D, sometimes they don't spawn.

    The Praetorian club has a VIP section. Does Virtue use that club too?

Morning sickness is not enough of an excuse?

    I am offended. We need dark corner women pukers put in to even the sexism.
    Signed!
  7. I"d be down for this. More robots to shoot down is a good thing.

    Also... maybe don't make it able to combine, because not everybody is up to fighting a Kronos, just in case multiple ones show up. Granted, I could see the benefit in making them able to combine...

    Total disagreement. Martial Arts is the best fit, even though he has super strength, as well as jumping power pools jump kick. He does have multiple web based powers though, more like multiple versions of web grenade and hold versions of the web grenades. Webs are more a power pool, because he has them early on, for Spider-man than his main attack.
  9. There's an odd untrusted something or other screen when I tried to get to it via firefox. Once I clicked the things that said I would make exceptions for the site, it allowed me to log in.
  10. Y'know, "Not-Kirby dots" is really iconic/classic a look to tie purely to this one system. Here's hoping there's another way to get this eventually.

    Wait, what? When did they mention this?

    Hmm, what would a fifth power for leadership be? An ally rez?

    then what would be in the medicine pool? i dont see why it cant be something similar. perhaps an AoE team rez? idk...

    huh. that power makes more sense in the medicine pool actually... not so much like "rawr im fierce and scary!" presence ...kinda sorta...
    I don't know if doctors/nurses/e.m.t.'s are really damage focused. Scalpels cut, but that's more of a precision over damage.

    I could see a click mez protection, like Stimulus, only for self.

    Okay, so what you're saying now is that Tank damage is supposed to be low?

The only thing to do now is to evacuate the refugees as a humanitarian gesture. Any Praetorian resident who pulls a Harry Truman (the guy who bought into his own "I'll never leave my mountain" legend and died along with Spirit Lake when Mount Saint Helens erupted) is going to suffer the same fate as Harry, except that he might end up as a walking rock or tree instead of dieing outright.
    Really?

    Which is more likely? An arc where our characters help Praetorians relocate to a new world or yet another Incarnate Trial where we beat/eyebeam/shoot etc Praetorian Hamidon, that could possibly help to unlock another Incarnate pool
  16. Pretty please with sugar on top. Even if the only alternate options offered were the first three that Thugs MMs already have.

    Also, so much more filling than a Hot Pocket. Thank God, I have 5 or 6 of them in my freezer right now.
  18. So... When water finally gets released, will the clamor be more for Nature Affinity or Bio Armor? I'd guess Bio Armor because it's a scrapper set.
  19. I have a character that chases almost all the burning buildings in Steel Canyon if he gets the chance.

    I have a fire/fire scrapper that I locked at 28 so that I could always have Tsoo to fight whenever I wanted to, as they used to drop off the radio system around 29 and safeguard Tsoo are a bit too few and far between, and this was before the new Tsoo at 50+. Thankfully, I made a kin/en brute version to level all the way to 50, so he'll be getting the drop on them before long(think he's only 46 now)

    1 patriotic character MA/shield (yes, I went there, though am debating making a street/shield version) that's all about hunting Council and 5th Column and probably Malta at some point.
  20. I had that Praetorian office map that was all overgrown and had water on a couple levels
  21. I can dig it. I could see them being level bound on the low end, just so you don't chase papers/radios in a zone that's too high for you, but you should be able to in any zone that you're well over.
  22. I seem to recall a similar idea in the suggestion forum a long time ago.

    Still love the idea.

    Better than the Metallic set that we have in-game already too. I'd love to get a second Metallic version that was closer to what we've seen them do with the metallic parts on the mecha set too.
