Rage has needed a nerfbat for ages, but it's just too popular.

[/ QUOTE ]
Or perhaps it's the OTHER sets that are underperforming. In recent Issues we've seen Mace buffed, Dark Melee buffed; IF the other sets are inferior why not make them better ?

[/ QUOTE ]

Dark Melee is fairly overpowered now and I am preparing a grand thread showcasing it off

Hey - question.

Why is the Defense Crash the same for Brutes and Tankers? Brutes have .75 Defense modifiers compared to the Tankers 1.0.

When Unyielding from Invulnerability debuffed defense, it had -5% Defense to Tankers, and -3.75% for Brutes and Scrappers. There's precedent. Is there an actual reason or is it just an oversight?

[/ QUOTE ]

That is a good question........Castle?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because its an offensive set not a defensive one. Invul was a defense set and therefore defense mods apply, Super Strength is an offensive one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Darkest Night on a brute: 10.5% tohit debuff
DN on a Defender: 18.75% tohit debuff

If offensive debuffs are affected by AT modifiers, why a personal debuff be affected?

[/ QUOTE ]

Once again you are comparing two different things. Debuff AT modifier is different.

A penalty crash has never been different across any AT. NOTE: PENALTY CRASH not a toggle debuff. All T9's with a crash are the same across AT's just like rage is. Should a Scrapper be left with more HP from Unstoppable when it crashes because they have less HP then a Tanker? No.

Natural - Sentai/Kamen Rider-style costume change emotes...

[/ QUOTE ]

Links please? You mean like strike a pose, flash, new costume?

[/ QUOTE ]

Example 1

Example 2

I'd describe it in generic terms as "manipulate an electronic gadget (or even just do the animation where you press buttons on your wrist), then strike a pose, then there's flashing/swirly lights while your costume changes."

I suppose the backflip and salute emotes do the same thing, but I think adding a transformation widget would fit with the Natural theme. (Even though live-action show heroes are usually magic/tech origin...)

[/ QUOTE ]

Ok example 1 the power rangers was "meh."

Example 2 was pretty awesome I would LOVE to see that.

Ok another update the chaos leather worked great. I still have to unlock my last two costume slots but I have ideas for them. I will post more in a bit.

I'd always thought that the SS attacks did less damage than equivalent recharge attacks in sets like Axe and War Mace, and that this balanced against Rage. Looking at red Tomax I see that I was wrong.

SS does have smaller faster attacks than these two weapon sets, and so less burst damage (until we get to KO Blow *cough*) so maybe that was the original idea?

Axe (for example) is burst damage, SS is DPS?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually you are somewhat correct. Way back in the day, like Issue 0 to maybe Issue 1 Knockout Blow only dealt minor damage. The attack itself was suppose to be a crowd control power that knocked the foe out. It was later changed from brawl index of like 1 to like 9.8889 which it is now.

How exactly is Mind Control not synergestic with Empathy?

[/ QUOTE ]
How does being able to affect the thoughts and actions of others translate to the ability to close and heal wounds and restore the recently dead to life?

[/ QUOTE ]

Mind Control is a Psychic-based control set. Empathy is a Psychic-based buff/healing set. Thematically, they work for all intents and purposes. I don't see why you feel the need to include something that will, functionally, end up replicating similar, if not the exact same effects, to Empathy when it already exists. Infact, they've done that already - it's called 'Pain Domination'.

[/ QUOTE ]
There's nothing "psychic" about Empathy or Pain Domination, you're actually physically healing your targets, not just making them think they're better.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pain Domination is entirely based on mental control. You don't actually 'heal' anyone, you just make them ignore any pain they might be feeling.

Kind of like how someone hopped up on PcP can demonstrate feats of 'invulnerability'.

Which is why it's a villainous powerset.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats it my next /Invul is going to be a PcP junkie.

Anyone know the duration of this proc and how much of a buff it is?

Does anyone's account that has NOT gotten this awarded list an award date for this badge? In other words, does your account say "Badge will be awarded on August 1st" for instance?

Ok another update, I have two of the costumes so far and I am working on the third. The third costume is suppose to represent an aspect of death. Death meaning like a magical form not that I died.

Basically, I want to use the skeleton head and bone wings. However, I am having trouble with the torso and legs. I suppose I could simply just remove the helmet and cape from my original costume (Where the character is in armor) but I wanted the transformation to look like an undead creature.

Any suggestions how I could do the torso and legs? I know zombie exists but it doesn't seem to match well with a skeletal head...

What do you guys think about this?

Natural Bonus Power:

"6th Sense" -- Due to your innate abilities and intensive training you have developed a 6th sense. Utilizing this power now makes all "Click Objectives" appear on the mini-map. (Since the Veteran power removes the fog of war, this marks all the glowies)

Mutation Bonus Power: (Btw, loved the self-res idea)

Zenakai -- When out of combat your endurance recovery and health regeneration are greatly increased. Auto-Power.

Does dying with patrol experience count toward the debt badge? Does logging out with full debt count for the debt badge?

Yeah I'd really love to see demon heads (Like the Hellfrost boss) but not sure if that would go with Mutation. What kind of powers can you think of?

What do you hope to see or think we will see in the natural and mutation booster packs? I was sitting down thinking about this today. Costume change ideas, costume pieces, and of course the "power."

Natural seems like a lot of the costume pieces could possibly revolve around showing bare skin. To be honest, I am not sure how costume pieces can be created that are fairly generic (See: Apply to wide range of concepts) and be natural. Maybe it could have certain weapons.

No idea on costume changes or powers though. Do you have any? What about mutation?

Just wanted to update and say thank you for the ideas. I will post my costume ideas if anyone is interested in seeing them or wants to give more advice. I was away for 3 days so I couldn't post.

I always assumed it was a bug and now is my first time posting about it. Outside of Grandville, the COV contacts do not introduce you to one another. As one who really enjoys the storyline, its fairly annoying if I want a contact in my level range I have to grind anywhere from 3-6 Newspaper missions.

Furthermore, if I want to unlock all of them at a level range I may have to grind upward of 30 newspaper missions and on top of that anywhere from 3-6 Mayhem missions. With MA and rested experience now there isn't a lack of content.

I am just wondering why is it still implemented like this? Perhaps a small change like this would have people shuffle out of MA for a while.

**NOTE: And to clarify, I know some contacts introduce you to other contacts. (IE Vince Dubrowski introducing you to Crash Cage) However, what I mean is like in COH side you can have 5 contacts in a level range and as you progress with each contact you get introduced to the next one. Effectively, I could unlock one contact and by doing his missions he gives me the next, which then gives me the next, etc.

Edit: And to provide numbers. In the 25-29 range, there is 3 contacts in Nerva. (Excluding Kristoff Jaeger) -- To unlock all 3 of these contacts, one must do 21 newspaper missions, and 3 mayhem missions for a total of 24 missions. Frankly, this sucks.

I want to make money, and I have been doing the random recipe rolls from the TF pool. The last 7 rolls though I have gotten CRAP recipes that no one wants. (Things like Sniper, etc) -- Am I just having bad luck or is it really better to save merits and then buy something like a LOTG or Miracle?

I hate this bug.

[/ QUOTE ]

512125125You know, there's something just all-around nice about seeing dev hatred for a bug.

Here's to a successful hunt.

[/ QUOTE ]

The only bug I don't hate is the one with using any power that calls the "Smashcast" animation while you have the Nemesis staff in hand.

I've been very slow to 'fix' that particular one.

[/ QUOTE ]

Can someone explain what this bug is ? (The one BAB is referring to, not the OP)

Site appears to be updated. If you click on the character profiles it lists the girl as "Mastermind with Demon Summon primary" and the guy is "Dual Pistol" primary.

Go to the site off the main page and check it out!

Does anyone know about that new Accurate Healing proc? I see that this attack can slot that set. That proc though says it has a 20% chance to grant the target endurance. Would this target be me or the thing I am attacking?

I am really debating how to slot this. Should I slot it as a Melee Attack power or an Accurate heal? Post your thoughts and opinion.

Just bought mine and applied the serial code!

Is it high-tech or low-tech armor? If it's low-tech, make a high-tech version, or vice versa. And if it's high-tech, and you don't like the idea of a casual outfit, you could make an undersuit (Think Zero-Suit Samus).

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually the armor was suppose to be more of a Roman look like the Cimorans.

I mostly need a conceptual reason why my character will have multiple costumes. I know most people will do alternate costumes symbolizing a transformation or maybe just day wear. What are some other ideas?

The character I have is more of a warrior type so he appears to wear heavy armor. To be honest I cannot think of a reason why he would have multiple costumes outside of "just because."

Any ideas to toss?

My Fast Healing buff in the Willpower secondary when clicked upon is showing I have 114% resistance to regeneration debuff. My character is only 12...

Why is it so high? Is this a display bug? I can post a screenshot if necessary.
