Who? Muse - Uprising

I couldn't agree more. I've always thought having reactions is a bad idea and I believe they contribute to many of the problems we see on the forums.

I think I am now a blaster main. Horrible, I know. But while I like the IDEA of other ATs, the issue comes to gameplay. Blasters requires the active participation in what's going on I need at this point. ...Ice/ice is fun.

Not at all. As you can see it was a while ago and didn't exactly gain a lot of traction. I only brought it up because I mocked up what such a set could look like. I really think this is a gap in the IO landscape that would be worth filling.

Your character name (Red Star Holder): Green Paragon Your Global handle: @Shard Warrior Your base’s name: The Watchtower The shard it is located on: Excelsior The passcode for entry: PARAGON-15105 The category your base is entering under: Tech/Sci-Fi Contributing builders’ names or Global handles: None Any additional information you wish the judges to know beforehand: Higher visscale is recommended. Flight is optional, but fun if you do have it for exploring the exterior of the station. Vanguard shuttles in the hangar bay are teleports out onto orbiting asteroids for exterior views of the station. More information about the Paragon Corps and The Watchtower here -

GooglyMoogly, I tend to agree with you, especially since it would take a lot of GM oversight, which is a sad thing. The spirit that I was trying to convey is that if this is going to be a useful "suggestion" outlet for normal players to make suggestions, it needs to facilitate doing that, and even encourage it. The problem is that there is a handful of players, that tend to be very negative about whatever is being proposed (regardless if the concept was good/bad/indifferent), that gives me the perception of maliciousness in the activity. And as the suggestion gets hit by the negative nanny, other players responds to the negative nanny, and becomes a never ending rant and the original suggestion got lost in the maelstrom and becomes to chaotic for a potential developer to even pay heed to the request. Frankly, as sad as it is, I agree with you, would take too much GM policing, and thus the suggestion forum is pretty much moot.

Much as I like Liam Neeson, no thank you.

The leader of Sovereign SG asked me if I would help spruce up one of the internal points inside the main SoV base. I had a lot of fun rebuilding it and thought the end result turned out rather well.

My honest thoughts on those emoji is that we really don't need more ways to be passive aggressive at each other. The pizza and moose emoji work fine for stuff like eye rolls. The skull seems like a way to encourage folks to necro threads, so no good there too.

exactly my healer Lifeline uses empathy and rad blast I have the rad blast as green bio enerrgy that she uses to stun and disrupt bad guys

I love my MM's but for some of my ideas I would really love for them to have the weapons that one of the other MM types has. e.g. I would have loved it if my Thug/Pain MM could have chosen the whip that the Demon MM gets. I tend to hate the archery feel for my Ninja MM (so I fully skipped all the weapon powers on that toon....) so I would have loved it if I could choose any of the other MM weapon types. Is there a way that we can make MM's choose a 'weapon set' at creation? (Maybe like the code used for the VEATS once they reach the level to make a choice of how to 'evolve') AP

stj/bio stalker with a post apoc feel with barbed fists/feet not only do i love the look but holy fucking shit offense adaptation makes the set that much better

i think this needs its own separate report... the OP posted because they misunderstood that the badge they were searching for were multiple contact exploration badges. 🙂

What you're ignoring is the popular understanding that radiation can have lasting effects that are not visible. When a Fire Blaster's Blazing Bolt animation is finished and nothing is burning 3 seconds later, anyone who has ever heard of fire knows that once you no longer see the fire, it is because there is no more fire. It's intuitively obvious. When a Radiation Blaster's Neutron Bomb is finished, anyone who has heard of atomic or radioactive weapons has a good reason to wonder about lingering, harmful radiation, even though you can't see it any more. Intuition alone is not enough to justify an assumption that the danger is over. This is a substantial difference. As much as everyone wants to say "Ahhh no powers make sense, everything is equally unbelievable," this is simply not the case.

kind of a soft necro. A necrolite. just a crumb of necromancy. can we get the 👀 emoji as a reaction? thank you for your consideration of this request a 💀 would be good too

I was doing some exploration badge hunting today but once I got into Recluse Victory it stopped showing that i had obtained the badge. However, when i exited the zone via base tp, i looked through most recent and i had all the badges. Didn't showing up in Recent until i left the zone.

Looking at CoH's powersets and requiring any explanation reliant on real world physics and science is just going to keep causing this disconnect because it's a video game. Any connections to the real world are verisimilitude, included to make a point about the game's lore, the plot of a story arc, and/or the nature of its community. To the point about 'no evidence of no contamination' there's no evidence that radiation powers in CoH do cause any ambient effects like real world radiation does either. As far as the game goes, it's very explicit about when and where the radiation effects are active via the neon green glow and the bubble SFX and also about what that does (Energy damage and -Defense, usually). Where that stops, the radiation stops. There's no post-mission text that pops up for radiation powersets saying a hazmat team arrives with Geiger counters and gives iodine pills to all the defeated bad guys and rescued hostages. Not that that wouldn't be an interesting take for a character, but that's purely up to an individual player to choose for themselves. Including the real world effects of powersets can be a fantastic source of drama and I have a friend who had a radiation defender with this exact gimmick of 'and now all those guys go to the hospital with radiation sickness' but that's all that is - a personal story gimmick. Any 'game canon' explanation beyond that would just be the same as any other baked-in handwave for the other powersets. The game ignores the 'real effects' of radiation the same way it ignores how a super strong Tanker can flip giant mechs like pancakes but not rip the head off every human enemy they fight with the same uppercut.

Oh, I got it! If a super is capable of controlling radiation to the point where they can form it into a ball and chuck it like an exploding pumpkin, then they could probably also collect all the radiation in the room, including sucking it out of bystander's bodies.

Thanks so much for this!

I’d love to see your theoretical endgame build!

nah thats across zones.

Genuine question, is the Global channel across all servers? That may be the better option.

12 Apr - “World of Captains” - Pirates of the Skies (Silver Mantis, Level 20-25) - Shield Defense powerset, pick a nation and make their Captain (not America or Britain) @FrauleinMental Kapten Sverige (Sweden) - Energy Melee / Shield Defense Stalker

We had 3 fine looking aliens to show up for today's theme, but ultimately the mapserver event won! This theme can wait for another time. 🙂
