There's a better reason for female clockwork. Clockwork were designed to be usable as player costume pieces, and if they went to all the trouble to make female clockwork they might as well use them, right?
Same reason Vanguard is the only group that has people with the Huge skeleton as totally normal, unremarkable members of the group. -

And what situation, pray tell, is a stun superior to a hold? What situation that's so prevalent or important that it justifies such crappy duration?
The Spiritual branch of Alpha powers are desirable for their recharge buffs, and Stun happens to be one of its sub-buffs. Meanwhile, Hold enhancement is on the probably-the-least-popular Nerve branch.
Stun IO sets are, broadly speaking, superior to Hold sets in terms of set bonuses.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are enemies resistant to Holds that aren't resistant to Stuns. -
There are three -Perception enemies that drive me nuts in this game: Night Widows with Smoke Grenade, Tarantula Mistresses with Will Domination, and Scirocco with Dust Devils. Will the Rectified Reticle unique increase my perception enough that I'll be able to still see enemies when hit with those attacks?

Suppresive Fire - Dual Pistols - Duration isn't on par with other blaster stuns
AoE controls in Control sets all have lower accuracy, except Mass Confusion because it's awesome.Quote:Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Stalagmites - Earth Control - Why such low accuracy?
Flashfire - Fire Control - See above
It's supposed to be a melee attack, not a control power. Barrage and Energy Punch are also only mag 2 if you'll notice.Quote:Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Whirling Hands - Energy Melee - Only mag 2. Any good reason for that?
They're AoE stuns with a guaranteed stun against minions and a good chance to stun lts. Slot them up for stun and recharge and they're perma, or nearly so. This is in melee damage sets, mind you.Quote:Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Fault - Stone Melee - Low acc AND low mag? Ever wonder why you rarely see this power?
Handclap - Super Strength - Oh, snap, same again.
Again, AoE stun in a damage set is gonna have some drawbacks. Devote the slots and you may find it worthwhile.Quote:Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Dark Pit - Dark Blast - Low acc, low mag, high end cost. Just...why?
Considering this is not a power from a Control set, this power is GOOD. It recharges in half the time of Flashfire or Stalagmites, and they only last 1-1.5 seconds longer at base. I think that makes up for only stunning Lts. half the time.Quote:Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Pulsar - Luminous Blast - Another one. Someone point out the upsides to me, please?
It's a secondary effect, of course it's going to be weak. You might as well ask why Smite doesn't floor enemy acc. As for damage and end cost, it's only weak because it's Masterminds using it. The damage is pretty much spot-on standard for a targeted AoE blast, and MMs use more end on all their powers than other ATs.Quote:Originally Posted by Techbot Alpha
Photon Grenade - Robotics - It costs HOW much? And does WHAT damage? And you call THAT a stun? Please, if I laugh any harder I'll crack a rib...
So no, I don't think Stuns need help. -
The different names across the APPs certainly makes it easier to report bugs with the powers.
-
I think you just want an excuse to mess with a certain icon creating tool.
-
What, you think there're no male Seers? They exist. You just don't see them because the uniforms aren't as flattering on them.
And what, Dominatrix and Cole? That's gross, get your head out of the gutter. -
Now you're just making things up to defame him.
-
I bet we're not going to get them. And you know why? Because they only exist for the Male skeleton. Have you seen any Female or Huge IDF shock troopers? No, because they don't exist. They haven't made the pieces for those models, and so nobody gets them.
-
Wait, was I ON that TF? Because that happened to me too.
-
There's Gravel, that cone attack that Minions of Igneous use. You could also give them a click version of Granite along the lines of Force of Nature and Surge of Power.

More IO sets is never a bad thing. I'm onboard.

I suppose bureaucracy is a pretty good excuse, but I don't like it.

But that'd be too sensible and not annoying enough to other forum posters.

Apart from the people the Resistance helps to smuggle out of Praetoria
Apparently, Tyrant's "utopia" is so great that people are prepared to live in a monster filled wasteland just to be free rather than live as slaves under his rule -
Specifically, I'm talking about the ability to make custom groups out of existing mobs. For example, there's several tip missions where you fight against a private militia run by Hollow Point. It's a private militia with werewolves and space aliens, because it's just the Council. Why didn't they take the human members of the Council and 5th columns, give them a common, unique color scheme, and call them a new group? It would've made for much better missions.
Another example: the Whispered Hand. Another group you hear about in Tip missions, this guild of assassins that Silent Blade can't decide on her affiliation with is just the Knives of Artemis when you encounter them in-game. Again, with some new colors and descriptions you'd have a different enough group to satisfy the OCD of us. So why don't they do that? -

"Confessing" makes it sound like bad behavior - like supporting freedom was a crime

I think I'm seeing a pattern. My Scrapper's got 7 Hero points. It seems like everyone who's not getting tips is a Rogue trying to go Hero who also has more than 5 Hero points.

Can't you make them demorecordable?
I chased dust devils around for like 20 minutes recording before finally realizing they don't appear in a demofile.

Depictions of Hamidon that you see scattered around Praetoria are merely a charicature of the real thing: artists' renderings of something seen only from a distance and poorly understood. Hamidon has changed since players last confronted the creature in Primal Earth, but the story here is just beginning to unfold...
-
Also according to Tyrant's bio, they some how used the Hamidon to restore the parts of the planets destroyed by nuclear bombs. They probably didn't just turn it loose after that, so it's probably contained somewhere where it won't be making random attacks on the capital city of the world.

Synapse and Black Scorpion never post, without BAB and now you the dev digest is going to be so empty!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I've been trying for days to switch back to Hero on my Scrapper, and I've stalled at Rogue. No matter how many enemies I kill in Paragon City, in missions or on the street, I'm not getting any tip drops. My fame bubbles are empty, and I'm killing enemies over 20, and yet I have no tips. I even went back to the Rogue Isles, and I haven't secretly gotten any tips there, so what's the deal? Am I the only one, or is there no way to switch sides now?

What's the tether system? I'm not familiar - but yeah it could just be an unfortunate place for Winter Lord to spawn. Worse, if you caught the train from Nova as a lowbie, you're screwed if they are inside the station. You won't know they are there til they get you and then it's hospital. That really shouldn't be allowed to happen.
