    Not so much irony as a "pot meet kettle" scenario.

I am talking about people who just come and flat out ask for someone to make a build for them that is "Godly". It comes across as many things, but lazy is pretty much at the top of the list.
    What are your thoughts?
    Personally, I enjoy making my own toons and builds the way I like. Sure, I peruse the guides found here online and take advice from friends, but I can honestly say I have never just copied and pasted an entire build from someone else into creation. Part of the fun for me is picking powersets, picking costumes, and enhancing the toon the way I like. Does anyone else feel like that?
    I agree with you... and I have said as much in those lazy peoples' threads. One person simply listed a bunch of things like some entitled laundry list, didn't capitalize anything, didn't even throw a please or thanks in there, and then bumped his own thread like 10 minutes later...

    It was pretty ridiculous.

    I just wanted to point out that threats aren't generally taken well... also, it can be surmised that anyone making those comments obviously doesn't support your idea, since they believe it to be made in jest. In fact, saying this thread is little more than troll-bait is making a very strong negative statement. If you truly value the positive and negative feedback, as you say you do, then why are you asking that very strong negative sentiments be removed?

    You might try, looking here.

And I get knocked back by every bomb, with zillions of them flying around. The only way I could reliably kill tanks in groups of two and three was to elbow-dive on them. Fighting them at ground level just got me shot-knocked-back. And the Hunters were just cheap. They don't reel, but you do, and their "combos" are just a windmill of twacks. So, I have super powers, but I'm STILL just a chump. I can see getting killed if I hit by too much enemy fire, but I'm basically helpless before them. Not enough offence to kill things before I get knocked away. Ugh...
    Isn't your mobility in that game half the fun? It's the fact that you can take the fight vertical that gives you the edge... you are, after all, just a guy who doesn't really understand all of what's transpired, sorta learning as he goes.

    And as to the hunters? Yeah, they are cheap, until you unlock the spinning blade aerial attack thing (forgot the name) that insta-kills them with but a touch.
  7. So... I've been playing Prototype lately, and I just finished a "boss battle" in Time Square, I think it took me like half an hour. And when I was done? I felt absolutely invincible. I was the lone character going against the giant pile of hit points, and for once, for whatever reason, I really enjoyed the entire fight... all of it.

    I guess my point is, I kinda like things as they are, but you bring up an interesting question. What if I were the boss in that same scenario? Would it feel just as good to be a giant creature and have beaten a tiny hero hucking cars at me, with the military plinking their wittle buwwets at me? I don't think so.

    In short, I don't think it would be better any other way.

    If this were to happen it would become a win/win situation for both the PvE and PvP community.

    Also, please throw in some PvPvE content as well just like they have in Aion.
    I am going to go out on a limb here and assume, unlike those posting above me, that this post is totally tongue-in-cheek and 100% sarcasm.

    If not? Then I started laughing already...

    I spelled it right out in the post you quoted... perhaps you misunderstood that there was something else to it besides the dual-pronunciation. There isn't, I'm not that goood.

    Yes, but that was your suggestion... not the OP's.

    Yes... but that proves nothing. They could still be exclusive.
  12. I have two Masterminds at the moment. Both have pet names I like.

    My Thugs/FF, Skull-Force has:
    Thugs: Bartel, Johan, Axelrod
    Enforcers: Stangg, The Twin
    Bruiser: Dakkon

    All of those are named after legends from the Magic: the Gathering expansion of the same name. Points if you get the Enforcers' naming scheme.

    My other MM is named Ophidius Rex and he's a Mercs/Poison who will eventually have his pets named WTFBBQ:
    Whiskey 0.9, Tango 1.2, Foxtrot 1.6
    Bravo 2.4, Bravo 1.3
    Quebec 3.7

    Additionally, each rank adds up to 3.7, which should have obvious significance for me.

    How about:

    Ash Leonid? (Sounds like Ashley Onid).... Hmmm, maybe Ashley Onid. That last one would be a bit like a hidden meaning if you are one to enjoy those. Unfortunately, I don't have the availability to check them at this moment, but I can't imagine they are both taken.

    Don't forget about the hundreds of indiginous languages spoken there. I am sure many Mexicans know both Spanish and Nahuatl, for instance.

    Hmmmm, perhaps because Game Balance isn't decided based on some juvenile impression of fairness?

    And, of course, because it is unnecessary.
  17. If you shrink the text down to be the length of the others, and use a slightly smaller Clockwork (perhaps with the correct colors??) it would look awesome!

  19. Not bad. I have to say, that I really like the Menders. They are a group that has a ton of possible variability.

    Right, because it would be impossible for there to be some sort of catch. Especially since it would likely need to be unlocked in some way.

    Awesomely cute Gargoyle there, dude.... well, in a ferocious axe-weilding kinda way.
  22. My theory? Our next Epic AT will not be an AT at all, but access to the Incarnate Origin. That way, at least ONE of the origins could mean something, and all of the various alignments could get a go at it.
