Rixen posted:I kinda don't like the direction they're taking their new arcs. The first mission of the last Night Ward arc was what got me to stop due to utter bullshit quotient. Admittedly, I could have brought down my difficulty from 0/x3, but even at that level there's no excuse for spawning seven boss-level copies of Malaise at once, each with Confuse, heavy KB and able to see through Hide. Catsworth posted:This is pretty true for me too although I think I lasted longer than 2 weeks. Still nothing in I23 has made me really want to play again. Looking forward to new powersets though. And... did someone mention a new archetype in the works somewhere or was I fever dreaming? Primalist, as I understand it. Akin to the WoW Druid, having a tough form and a stealth attack form.

I used to RP. Got kind of turned off of it for various reasons. Still, most every character I make has some kind of RP potential, if not an actual bio. The group I usually run with tends to do a bit of light RP during missions, and that's fun enough, so I tend to have a personality in mind for each character. Except Yarn Man. He's just kind of a costume made out of inevitability and yarn.

Patware posted:I never took Aim. GOOD THING I HAVE ONE MILLION FREE RESPECS Yeah, Aim has always seemed like a wasted power pick to me. Build Up is nice, we always like more damage, but hitting things has never really been so much of an issue that I'd want to put a whole power toward it. (And yes I know Aim gives a bit of damage shut up.) I don't know that I'd take it even with the snipe changes. Odds are, when you're in a league there'll be enough Tactics/Arachnos-buff flying around to keep your ToHit over the threshhold anyway. vvv ...YEAH WELL THAT'S RELATIVELY NOT A HUGE AMOUNT OF okay, I admit it's worse in my mind than in the actual game.

TalonDemonKing posted:Lilli St. Croix Age:20 A Young Witch fighting the good fight. With her grandmothers spell book in her backpack and the Blackwand. A powerful wand the Covent of St. Croix forged, using the Black Diamond to harness the mystical energies of the Shadow Realm. While in a battle with the Circle of Thorns the Blackwand was shattered leaving Lillix unconscious. She awoke shackled in a dungean. Before her were two Thorn Wizards. One to tourtue the body the other to tourtue the spirit. They stopped before sundown. Barely alive, her body ripped from the inside out. She slowly opens one eye. She could see the Nights shadow covering her body with its cold blanket. She could hear the shadows calling her, asking her a question. She lifts her head opens her eyes and answers. The last word the Thorns heard before they were all killed was, "Yes.".... (she is the living vessel of the Blackwand Connected to the Shadow Realm.) ( Not Goth) She's the living vessel of the Blackwand, which I choose to assume is the same Blackwand that gets handed out as a vet reward. So a good percentage of the server has 'used' her. What a slut.

Cleretic posted:Speaking of Rad Armor, is there like, a Fallout convention right the gently caress next door to the player summit every year, or is there just one guy that's really loud who only plays this and the Fallouts? Because seriously, all three of the crowdsourced things so far have been straight-up Fallout rips. I've got no problem with it... well actually I do, 'cause the Retro Sci-Fi pack is poo poo and Rad Armor is the most ridiculously niche powerset concept. Seriously. I mean, Rad Melee I could see, but Rad Armor? I can't... why was that even a thing? Who would think up something like that? More to the point, why did the devs go with that one in particular? I mean, we could've had Air Blast or Throwing Weapons. Those would've been awesome and fit with so many different characters. I know we may get those eventually anyway, but Rad Armor? Maybe it's just, graphically speaking, low-hanging fruit, I dunno.

Evil Sagan posted:Well it only took getting to level 4 to gently caress up Nega Sagan. I thought Teleport would be an appropriately cosmic travel power, but now that I have it I don't quite like how it works. I suspect Super Speed or Flight would be more my kind of thing. How much do I have to gently caress myself to correct this oversight? It's too soon to retire my evil alter ego! Just go to a trainer and look for the option to 'change your active build' or something similar. You can have two different builds on your character, though I think for the most part people just use them for what you're doing here - a low-level respec. Any enhancements will stick with the old build, but that's the only downside.

Free Headcrab posted:Man I really want to come back and play, but I wish they would release more than one loving powerset at a time. An armor set like bio just isn't enough to get me back into the game. Armor sets are way too passive and just don't change the feel of the game for me like a support, offense, or control set does. I'll be back when they release a few more powersets (half a year at the rate they are slowly feeding them out). They... often do? Water Blast is coming out before Bio, which will likely come out at the same time as Nature Affinity, three new sets came out relatively recently (Staff Fighting, Darkness Control, and Darkness Affinity), which were on the heels of Street Justice and Titan Weapons and Beast Mastery and Time Manipulation and Beam Rifle and and and... I mean, even though you have to pay for most of them, the number of powersets they've put out since they went F2P has increased enormously, and complaining that they're going too slow is just kinda silly and I'm not sure what your basis for comparison is.

Tommy 2.0 posted:Synapse is proposing more changes to Bio Armor.

From what you quoted, looks like +Recharge is still in Offensive.

So, does that mean the Adaptations won't be enhanceable at all? May as well just shove 'em all into a single power like Staff or DP has, then, and come up with something else for the freed-up power tier.

Got unreasonably depressed yesterday when I did the Heist and everyone got perfect role badges... except for me, the Hitter. Not even sure what I did wrong, but there's two possibilities: 1) I ran over to the room the Hacker was in and killed the guards attacking her so she could finish hacking 2) I picked the High Roller in the second phase. Any ideas?

That is pretty unfortunate. Things like Hand Clap or Repel would really benefit from swapping KB for KD, and by benefit I mean worth taking ever.quote:Also the real answer is Controller because Earth/Storm and Plant/Storm were hilarious before this and now Tornado+Water Spout is legit. Isn't the set unique, though? I don't think you can put it in both powers. Could be wrong, of course.

If someone in the group performs a role perfectly, everyone in the group gets the badge for that role. AT means nothing as far as heist role is concerned; it's a matter of clicking glowies and talking to NPCs (though I say this having only tried it once as a Hitter).

Needs More Jazz posted:Downloaded this game on a whim and played 'til level 5. Between the fact that I haven't played an MMO in over five years, and my general clumsiness with "tank" controls, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. But I get to zap bad dudes with my nuclear eye beams and rapidly teleport around the city like a madman, so that's cool. The one you're probably seeing most is DFB, which stands for Death From Below. It's a 'trial' designed for low-level characters, and a good way to gain a lot of XP quickly. For your first character, though, I'd suggest running the Twinshot (hero side) or Mr. Graves (villain side) missions instead; they're pretty cool and act as mini-tutorials to introduce you to certain game concepts.

Abroham Lincoln posted:The prereqs are actually loosening up a bit. For pools, powers 1 and 2 are there by default, and 3 and 4 are opened up with one power. Power 5 is opened up once you take 2 powers. Doesn't really help Fighting in particular, but you could take the aoe taunt, then the aoe fear, and the mini-godmode/self rez out of Presence, whereas before you'd have to take the lovely single target fear to get the aoe one. Well, that's good at least. Tough was always kind of suboptimal if you just wanted to stack defense, except as a Steadfast mule.

But the Shard feels epic, and it's huge enough to support a lot of different epic-level TFs and arcs and such. I wouldn't mind seeing the Shard given something of a Siren's Call treatment, just making certain areas flare up into Rulaaru hotspots that give iXP and no better than Uncommon rewards while they last. Save the iTrials for your Rare and V. Rare salvage.
