    Freedom? Hardly

    Honestly, I feel like every time someone posts about not liking the free/premium model, their issues stem entirely from gross misunderstandings.
  2. You stop being able to stack damage buffs. The ones you have stick around until their duration expires. That's all.
  3. On the subject of hiding in the hospital:

    I didn't feel slighted by being asked to hide in the hospital. In all my time badge hunting I've done things that could be considered cheap, like setting up ambush farms for the now-defunct AE Test defeat badges, trading pillboxes in Recluse's Victory, or hovering over Director 11's head while my pets slaughter him. But any time I feel like I'm doing it wrong, I remember that it's no different than hunting for bosses in the places they spawn the most and going after the gray ones because the put up the least fight.

    That's what we badge hunters do: we always search for and use the fastest, easiest way to earn a badge.

    No, Shield Defense didn't get a shield throw power because the set is about using your shield to defend yourself, and you CAN'T use the shield to defend yourself if you've thrown it at an enemy. And it didn't get "nixed," there were never any plans for it.

  6. I think Keyes is fun already. Going for its badges, though...not so much.

    You probably wouldn't even make it to the wall. Your muscles would just break your bones immediately.

    I believe this also makes it possible to take all 5 APP powers, and to 6 slot more liberally than before.
    It comes at the expense of your best secondary powers, though...

    Beam Rifle?

    It doesn't look electrical to me.
  10. I don't know how Warden de Dios found them, but I just typed [Shatter Armor] into chat expecting to see the Mace mastery version and the Titan Weapon power is what popped up.
  11. What difference would it make? If you let people reserve names in advance, you get the exact same mad dash for names when it first goes up as you would if you make people wait until the server is available. Just earlier.
  12. I would rather they lose the crash, since if they were balanced to be worth it most of the time you'd be wasting the powers' potential, and they would approach "too awesome to use" territory.
  13. I'd say it's pretty clear that when the OP heard the game was going F2P he jumped to the conclusion that he wouldn't have to pay money any more.
  14. Nukes are already criminally underpowered for their recharge according to the damage formula used by most powers. Synapse was probably just speaking off the cuff, I'm sure if he sat down and looked at the numbers he would probably not reduce the damage after all. If anything he might increase it.
  15. I want him out of the FP because he's a dirty normie with no actual powers! Next you'll be saying that Batman should be in the Justice League or Hawkeye in the Avengers.
  16. Stumbled upon this on the beta server when I linked one of my Bane Spider's powers in chat by typing it instead of clicking and dragging.

  17. We here in this thread think it's a mistake.

    Does this mean that we don't actually need to defeat BAB in this mission?

    If not, the text is confusing and should be amended to say,

    "Defeat the Freedom Phalanx and Back Alley Brawler"
    Or they could just take him out of the mission...

    Yeah! How come you didn't post in my thread if you knew this all along, Posi? Everyone thought I was crazy!
  20. I thought that page was already up.

    Brazen Bull

    I would think the device too, but he doesn't say the brazen bull or a brazen bull, plus it's capitalized like a name.

    Brazen Bull

    Is Brazen Bull a character, or is Odysseus referring to the Greek torture and execution device when he threatens to "introduce you to a little piece of history known as Brazen Bull" in the Mortimer Kal SF?
  23. They're not really meant to be fought solo by non-incarnates. They open with an unresistable PBAoE stun and every attack they have debuffs defense and resistance.
