Quote:then he can play a tanker and have fire shields, fire melee, and fire epp with a fireball right nowOriginally Posted by Techbot Alpha
I think that assumption falls on it's face, because no one (in their right mind) would ask to have that sort of power level across the board.
if he just wants those powers he can already have them. -
Quote:the trick of course being your "token afterthoughts"Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
OK, so then which "Archetype" can allow me to throw fireballs, use fire swords, punch people with fire and use fire shields at the same time without any of these being token afterthougths?
so I assume you mean:
has ranged damage like a blaster
melee damage like a scrapper
and defenses like a scrapper
and presumably the answer is you will never have 3 powersets worth of power
whereas of course you can in game make a character that has the powers already. -
it's a Nemesis plot

what is this thread complaining about?
-
the drop rate is not ridiculous if people used them. People just do not know how good they are. Everyone can have an AoE stun grenade.
I want to see a super team where everyone has the leadership pool and temporary powers and only uses those. -
Old Man's War is great
Thrawn books are good
Ringworld series is good
Rendezvous with Rama is good (so is the sequel but the 3rd book is terrible)
Larry Niven and David Pournelle joint books are amazing:
Lucifer's Hammer, The Mote in God's Eye, Footfall
almost anything by Isaac Asimov
particularly the Foundation series, the R Daniel Oliva detective stories (The Caves of Steel)
Starship Troopers
The Forever War -
I try to make a revolver for my dark/dark cowboy each time I remake him so he has a pistol. I never use it other than for show.
I use the grenade types on some characters: invuln tanker (he gets a to hit bonus), earth dominator (after quicksand debuffs their def).
I do wish you could make a stack of them at once and store up the charges. I just assume you can't. -
I think the whole series of linked arcs just doesn't really work
the first arc is basically unrelated to the others and built up zero momentum
while the other ones are interesting, they are a series of dramatic failures for the heroes that make me not want do the others and see how stupid and inept the Phalanx is and be dragged into their miserable lives.
I know I haven't done SSA6, I am not sure if I did 5.
They really strike me as having the Wheel of Time problem - instead of being a coherent story they are just an excuse for putting out a lot of content. I read the first book of Game of Thrones and gave up on the series for the same reason.
Epic does not just mean long. -

New AT?
A Melee/Buff-debuff AT would be something new.
they already have melee healers and buffers/debuffs among the Cimmerorans
It would make a decent paladin type as well with armor and a sword -
I have found it!

Oh Stewardess, I speak Jive.
there was a series of Airplane quotes posted, and I posted "I speak jive" -
it is annoying that police detectives get Hawaiian shirts and we do not
you can't make a proper Magma PI without a Hawaiian shirt (a blue bulky shirt with red cheetah print kind of works) -

Isn't that kind of like throwing seeds as a means of controlling plants, though?

you don't have to be feral, you are just speaking in their language

Quote:Not really. Defenders are built assuming you get buffs/debuffs to go with the ranged attacks, but that doesn't mean blasters don't work without them.Originally Posted by peterpeter
I think the pets are designed with the assumption that they will be supported by the buffs/debuffs of the mastermind. That means a thugs/katana character would be severely underpowered.
a thugs/katana would have the character doing a lot of damage. Use the thugs in bodyguard mode for your protection -
there are two things to thing of for new AT's: function combos (i.e. melee/defense) and inherent (i.e. crits vs fury).
the main one I'd like to see is Pets/Control (controller MM instead of defender MM) -
actually my daughter got me the shirt and she's never seen BBT
at work I'm known for wearing Hawaiian shirts -
got the shirt for my birthday
now I'm tempted to wear it to work with sweatpants and see who notices -
Quote:I definitely agree. The game should not be made more complicated as if being complicated were inherently a good thing. Simple AT's and complicated AT's may be for different players. You don't have to like every AT, just one of them.Originally Posted by Aura_Familia
We'll have to agree to disagree on this point. NO, I do not agree that every AT needs a unique mechanic, especially when it's essentially not needed in terms of balance. I like that we have ONE AT that has the main goal of "punch things in the face in melee, the end."
Diversity is good. -
Quote:Yep, and there is no way the world can defeat him but his damage cannot overcome the world's regen.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
Just checking since I'm only seeing about half the conversation: Am I right to observe that this has become essentially "Johnny Butane vs. the World?"

Much shorter tutorial than the last one. It is fairly epic. You get to run around by major heroes, fight a giant shivan. It is pretty darn cool.
But having run it a few dozen times, I just skip it now. I'm always a bit torn as to whether or not to do it, but I skip it. -
my fire/dark tanker has both
each is a pbaoe that does some damage to the foes and restores END to me.
the amount of END restored per foe is huge, no need to increase it.
So I'm wondering else I should I slot them for.
dark consumption can take pbaoe, END mod, and taunt
consume can take pbaoe and END mod
they have 3 minute recharges so I can't spam them, but it seems silly to have a couple of AoE's with max 10 targets go to waste. -
nice interview.
I liked the statesman video. I haven't done the arc so I don't know how much is stuff you made up vs a cut scene. I get the impression it is basically all you. -
I would assume this is another free things VIPs get by buying in the store with the free points they get.
