  1. I just took it on my earth/earth (lvl 16). I am liking it so far.

    Solo, it gets me into melee fast and knocks the foes down. I follow up with Tremor and then hold one and take on the the others. It does okay damage (I am not slotted at all yet), according to in-game it is as much as stone mallet.

    If I'm facing just an lt and a minion I don't use it, just hold the held and wade in.

    I have the feeling that when I get earthquake and have that and stalagmites slotted so they come up often, I won't want to charge in to start a fight.

    I'm wondering if this is just filler until my character fills out?
  2. I want a colorable aura around the character like a force field. You should be able to see through it, but it should be very obvious - like the HUD aura.

    I want a person left behind aura for movement. When you move you leave a ghostly aura where you were standing (with or without a dust cloud). Maybe it can only happen once every 5 seconds or so if repeating it quickly is a problem.

    I want a large fist aura for combat - so using SS or other powers your hand gets this large glowing fist that the powers come from.
  3. why does rest have any real recharge time? There is no rest exploit that I know of. The only people who would benefit from a 5 second recharge time would be the people who need it - like noobs.

    Tights!

    I want tights that look like real material. Generally leather, but quilted, chainmail, and scales are good.



  5. I am active in the evenings west coast time and am looking for a suitable band of heroes to adventure with. I talk in character some, but do not really roleplay.

    Looking to team for pretty much any missions or TF's, but no trials or farming.
  6. when someone asks your powers or AT before joining a team just reply back "Sorry, I don't team with people like you" and be done
  7. I just don't care

    I care about Fusionette, Faultline, Flower Knight, and Blast Furnace

    but I don't care about the phalanx

    that would be sad
  9. Azuria sends you to guard the MAGI vault in Galaxy City
  10. I don't understand this thread.

    I am not aware of players complaining that the dominator AT is broken or superfluous. There seems to be no need of an overhaul or buff to the AT.

    So if the devs are doing something to the AT, what are you hoping for?
    1. an unneeded buff?
    2. an unneeded overhaul?
    3. a nerf?
    4. new powersets?

    afaik dark has long been the powersets people envied defender for. Everyone wanted dark. Now that dom's are getting it players are complaining that they get it.

    if you think dominators have problems, start a thread of problems with the AT. Be specific and constructive - the devs read threads like that.

    But this thread reads like a kid complaining at christmas because he wants more toys to open even though he got everything he asked for.

    LFG expansion?

    Yeah, I assume it was just much easier to do.
    it eliminates any zone issues, being in a mission issues, that are restrictions on the tf

Who will care now about their character's progress between the Cities of Heroes and Villains if it's reduced to a service charge?

    That's exactly the kind of mercenary attitude towards a gaming world that kills immersion dead.
    Really?

    Rikti invade and Positron just stands there watching us fight them,
    There are infinite villains of all types wandering the streets

    But it is the ability to go to an island and act like a villain that is what breaks your immersion?

    LFG expansion?

    other games reward people for using the LFG tool with buffs when you use it.

    Give +10% xp if you use a team created from it and it would get used - at least for the lower level tf's

  15. the trick would be everything being minions or lt's that do annoying things so there are a lot of them

    really, I think you can do it all with CoT except END drain

    Again, though, more content in Steel Canyon and Cap Au Diable is always a good idea. I wonder how the residents of Skyway City feel about this.
    sure, but you have
    5-15 hollows
    15-25 Faultline

    I know of no story arc zones for 30-40

    LFG expansion?

    Yeah, I expect to queue up for a TF when I log on each time
  18. I would agree - 30-40 is lacking content, 20-30 is not

    it's also much easier to get teams in 20-30 than 30-40

    LFG expansion?

    "Expansion of the Team Up Teleporter: In addition to granting access to the new Bloody Bay Trial, the Team Up Teleporter can now be used inside missions and to organize groups for existing task forces and strike forces. Characters on solo or group missions can queue up for trials from within those missions. You can also use the Team Up Teleporter to queue up for a task force or strike force."

    Does this mean we can do LFG to queue for Posi, Synapse and such?

    That would be great - if people used it.
  20. I found him humourous in a goatee universe way

    but I did find that the interesting beginning in first ward with the ghouls and such was spoiled by the switch to the storyline.
  21. Carrion Creepers - but with the black tentacles out of the ground look, that have a longer duration so they are a pet

    Basically an underworldly tentacle monster that only appears as the tentacles reaching up out of the ground
  22. I don't disagree that some selected high level content can be hard.

    But I don't want to raid, so itrials are out. And I want to just play and have fun. Not play and be bored so that at some point I can play challenging content.

    Selling salvage, buying enhancements and general running around is enough tedium in the game - I don't want missions to be tedious as well in hope of some later payoff.

    I want a game to be wall to wall fun and excitement.
  23. I like the stories people can tell in AE, but I want real stories. My biggest pet peeve is what I call bookend missions - a good intro and wrap-up, but the mission itself is just a bunch of standard spawns with a boss at the end (usually an EB or AV).

    The search in AE does not get me what I want, but I know there must be a bunch of good arcs out there. So post the good ones, please.
