    all sounds very different and interesting. don't see too many of them too which is nice...

    Is there a way to have a normal cossie tho? Bit Ugly otherwise.
    Yeah, the [Omega Maneuver] is pretty cool (and is a Crab power).

    And at level 10, you can do a mission to unlock regular costumes.

    They all get pets.

    A Crab can have the most, I believe. He gets 3 Spiderlings, 2 Disruptors (any Spider can get those) and an additional one is available via the Patron (Pick Black Scorpion for more spiders).

    Both Crabs and Huntsmen can get an array of grenades... or "bombs" as you put it.

    Also, lots of info here.

    Well, until you get to lvl 24, all Spiders are gun-toting baddies. Basically, expect an AR Blaster that has the ability to take some hits, as well as buff his allies. Which brings me to the point that the ally buffs are some of the most significant powers to take, they can make a lot of teams a lot better.

    After 24, there are 3 basic ways you can build your character:
    — Crab: An AoE ummmm, Skrank-blaster? It's hard to describe exactly, because he can't take the punishment of a tanker, has a more debuff focus than a straight up scrapper/blaster and can end up with as many pets as a MM. Take his various shields and heal... and then go crazy grabbing his fun attack powers.

    — Bane: Bascically a Stalker with Ally buffs. Make sure you get his Cloaking Device power, load up on Mace attacks and ally buffs, and go to town. He is the closest to an existing archetype IMO. I have not played one yet though.

    — Huntsmen: This one is often overlooked. He is the advanced form of the Wolf Spider you started out as. He does well by grabbing pretty much all the ally buffs, and also the leadership pool (this is an option on all of them, but makes getting all the "required" powers harder in other build outs). He sticks witht he rifle throughout his career and can dish out some solid AoE damage and debuffs. Take a look at Aisinya's guide on the Huntsmen. Oh, also, you will dip into the Bane pool for Build-Up and Armor.

    I'm sure others will come along and refute everything I just said, and give you more detailed builds and pointers... and disagree with one another. Ultimately, build your character anyway you want, take notice of failings or things you wish you had... and respec, that's what they are there for. Most of all, have fun, because, VEATs really are a blast!

    This! So this!

    Oh, and Frostfire's ability to have two different types of pets WAAAAY before 32.

    This right here is INTENDED behavior. Enhancements are meant to be an inf sink. They should probably remove the 10 Enchancement tray from the Respec screen, IMO, not increase it.

    Perhaps not in your opinion, but it is WAI.

    Sounds like everything is WAI.

    Muahaha! My plan... it is working!

    As I understand it, they are fairly significant* to many of the events in the history of Paragon City. They feature prominantly in the "Creation Myth" of Paragon Earth, IIRC.

    The Timeline.


    * = I don't mean significant as in they appear a lot, but in the fact that without them, there would be no CoT, and many other things would have not occurred the way in which they did.

    Right, becasue Mako is a furry.

    Giving us beastly costume parts does not inevitably lead to EVERYONE using them to be a cute lil furry animal. What it does do, is enable us to make penguins and chickens and dogs and (grrrrr) cats look passable. We, as players, already make all of those, but they would look better if we had beaks and snouts and such.

    Take your bias against your personal interpretation of what a "furry" is, and go yiff yourself.



    Oh, and /signed.

    Good luck with that.
    I got this far:

    Lord R break your nemeisis out of jail, and you have to help Statseman...
    Then I asked myself why the two most significant characters in the entire canon needed to be involved to get the TF going. Perhaps because the idea doesn't have merit on its own weight? (Then I realized that they aren't. There is no "Lord R" or "Statseman" in the entire game... so maybe this could work. )

    If they include a "Nemesis System" it ought to be much better than an overplayed TF.

    All Paragon Studios' selling of Inf would do is force the RMTers to undercut whatever price PS sets. And they would continue on.

    Hmmm, I have usually called it "Taking the Red Line." Or sometimes, the "Death Train." Convenient and fun.

    Also, if you are too lazy to find a group to kill you, [Self Destruct] is an option. I do this in Mercy when I have to go from that one door across the zone back to the Mercy Fort for the very next mission.

    Perhaps the Student Day Job spot could be OUTSIDE the University... you know, in that area where the pretend students are walking around and sleeping on benches.

    And I second the idea for it's bonus to incease your earning of Patrol XP, or perhaps increase the max PXP.

    A very well put together post there... but you forgot one thing: to say "please."

    Lol.

    ZX? When I look through the images hosted on that one web page I posted a while back, I noticed that a couple of the chest icons were identical to a few released with i12 (I think) did you make those before or after they were included in the game?

    Although I can't really use this feature much... it is a great thing to have available a little longer. I have loved being able to rename some of my characters with it.

    For me it would be free respecs so I could dismantle a lvl 50 toon and recover ALL my placed enhancements rather than just 30-40.

    Thoughts?
    Though I haven't been around for 4 years, I still have a ton of Free Tailor Sessions on a bunch of characters.

    I would like to be able to trade them for more costume slots. It really is the only thing that makes logical sense. Respecs aren't connected to the tailor in any way.

    I also think CL's idea has merit.

    If I had any idea what this is referring to... I might be able to comment better.

    Are you saying that GR will be a smallish update? Are you saying that GR will be great, but far better stuff is after? Are you saying don't get too excited about GR? I am not really sure what to take away from your post...
