  1. You know, it does seem like people with regenerative powers are far more likely to come back to life than people who just want to really bad. It certainly would be thematic for Regen to have less of a vanilla rez. Personally I think it should be expressed with a much faster recharge.

    Well that would just be confusing, I think, since the point of the power is the rez.

    And yeah, I've received rep since I've had it disabled. And still the only bad thing I've gotten was because I replied to a PK thread. (-:
    True, but the rez portion of the power (which is what the inner symbol shows), affects the caster, and I like to make the border (which shows what the power will affect) match the inner symbol (which shows what effect the power will have). That's the same logic I used when changing the inner symbol on Power Sink and Energy Drain to the endurance drain symbol.

    What he's got is apparently AoE Life Drain, Chill of the Night, and Dark Consumption (only with a massive damage buff) all of which means he can simply kill all your pets at once any time he feels like it.
  5. Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks.
  6. Just a heads-up to everyone who likes this mod: it's been updated, and it's a big update. Enjoy!

    I'd ask you to up-rep GuyPerfect for his major contribution to the icon pack, but he has rep disabled, so instead I'll say to remember to thank him at least as much as you thank me, however much that may be.
  7. 50, actually, and all set to respec into Shatter Armor come I16.
  8. 'Cause I'm sure that's gonna be a vet reward eventually.
  9. Have you forgotten completely about the flashback system?
  10. Galaxy City seems to be dead on test. I tried zoning there and lost the connection, now I can't log into that character. Other zones I've tried seem to work fine, Galaxy's the only zone I've found that has this problem.
  11. I have a problem with the visual FX for Mind Link! The powers is an AoE team buff, but it looks like a nuke! It even SOUNDS like a nuke. When people use it on me I get scared and think psi enemies are attacking me, unless psi enemies already ARE attacking me and I know that in which case I just think I'm under normal attack.

    Why not a more subtle FX? How about your Widow gets a subtle glow about the head like Mother Mayhem's Praetorians have, then glowing lines shoot from the Widow's head to the heads of all the Widow's nearby allies and then they get the glow as well. The glows then persist until the debuff expires. (Refraining of using colors to describe the FX because power customization might someday make the color moot.)
  12. So I was messing around with all the customizable powers on test, when I really finally noticed something that I'd seen before, but only vaguely: there's virtually no ongoing visual FX for Pain Domination's powers! Conduit of Pain, World of Pain, Anguishing Cry, Painbringer, and Enforced Morale have no ongoing visual FX, even though they are ongoing buffs with fixed durations, outside of the general floating shields etc. I'd really like it if these powers got more vFX to help bring more flash to the set.

    And for those of you who hate colors, you'd be able to turn those new FX off with power customization.

    CoH vs. HL2?

    You think that's similar to the Council symbol, what about these?

    *I* on the other hand, doubt it would be worth it, because you'd have to wait until 44 to grab it, and the two powers you take to get Stamina aren't bad either. Maybe for Willpower, but doubtful otherwise.
  15. When I16 goes live I'll be respeccing my Invul/SS Tanker. I'll be grabbing Health and Physical Perfection and 3 slotting both. Now, I can't figure out how to properly set up Physical Perfection in mids, so I need the help of someone who knows these numbers off-hand. With the Numina Unique, Regenerative Tissue unique, two Heal Numinas, one End/Heal Numina, and a generic Level 50 Heal IO, where should I put the enhancements to get max regen?

    I'm thinking the Numina Heal, Numina End/Heal, and Generic Heal in Health, and the two uniques and another Numina Heal in PP.

    You know, as I was writing my original post, I wondered if it was Obligatory to note that EM Pulse is the correct name and EMP Pulse (which is the given name of the power by the Devs) would mean Electro-Magnetic Pulse Pulse.
    But that's NOT the name given by the devs. It's called EM Pulse, and always has been.

    Also, this whole thread could've been averted if the power icons weren't so inaccurate and you could've just looked at the EM Pulse icon, saw the stun symbol, and realized it was a stun and therefore took Stun sets.

    Day Jobs

    Ultimo's got it exactly right. Day Jobs are rewarding you for not playing your characters. It doesn't matter how you sugarcoat it, that is literally exactly how they work.
  18. You can't keep that costume and customize your powers because you are a dirty naughty cheater and the devs hate you!
  19. Those were taken back in I11 I think. I somehow am not in Beta Testers now and can't get in 'cause it's full. :frowny face:

    What we really need is spoiler tags that you can click a button to expand, since most screenshots are quite large.

    Here's my screenshots of one of the Monuments in the Storm Palace. (There are several kinds and they appear at random):


  21. Considering they let you customize the Phantom Army NPCs, I don't think it's impossible to customize the Granite Armor NPC model. Why you can't, though, is a mystery to me. Probably because the PA NPCs use existing PC costume options and were already set up to be colorized, while the GA NPC, well, doesn't and isn't.
  22. In I10 I wrote an FAQ for all the new features in the issue. It was well-acclaimed and when the issue went into open beta and later to Live it helped keep the forums clear of "where's this?", "how do I do that?", "what does this do?", etc. questions. I haven't been in a closed beta since, but if I did I wouldn't mind writing FAQs for all the new issues.
  23. You know, I seem to remember that taunted enemies don't run away. If a Tank taunts everything he fights, that means a tank never has to deal with runners. That sounds like it's useful solo.
  24. Well, maybe not, I don't play Stalkers. But I've heard that certain powers, at least, can double crit.
