Switch "Echo" zones to free for all zones
Greycat replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Nope. Haven't been for a long time. Especially now, it'd be too easy to make an 'unwinnable' base to raid. -
Do you remember the alt? You should be able to /bindsavefile (filename.txt) - just use the alt's name - and see your binds set for it.

More space for Character Description

Honestly... the *editor* needs work before we think about expanding! -

I only "care" enough to point out you're making bad assumptions while you're trying to demonize people. I did start to type up more, to explain why these assumptions are bad, but realized it would be an utter waste of time, especially on something that wouldn't happen anyway. -
Heh. No, you won't see that on an RP server. Quick quips thrown off, maybe a comment during a little down time (or while hunting down that last freaking mob...) but it's not like, "I see the enemy! I draw my sword, which shimmers in the lab's unnatural fluorescent lights, and prepare to strike!" *push button for attack.* "I haul back and prepare to follow up!" *push button.* RP generally takes place in certain areas, or in a SG setting - though you will get people putting out that they're running an RP team. You can go and just mash buttons and mostly ignore that you're on an RP server, if that's what you want. It's a pretty good crowd, regardless.

... ever read the Iron Druid series? More specifically, the side stories - look for, I think it's called first dangle. 🙂 (Only thing I can think of that does that is the Poison rez.)

Who cares if someone transfers or not? I know we have some serious PVP hate in this thread, but seriously... who cares? Hell, if the people who are so upset about PVP and PVPers even breathing thought about it, they should be *happy* to let people move freely to a PVP server, whether they're "twinked out" or not. Not that such a server is going to exist on HC anyway. -
Not sure I mentioned another obvious, punlicious name. Celery. For a stalker.

Weekly Discussion 65: Build Your Own Powerset
Greycat replied to GM Miss's topic in General Discussion
*waits for all the "Illusion on doms!"* *pre-mehs at that.* Other than that, hmmmmmm..... Have to work up an acid armor. Acid Armor: So. Being really honest, this is what Memphis Bill should have had. See, long ago in the 80s, Marvel came out with the New Universe. One of the characters there, Dennis Cuzinski / "scuzz" had a mutation which just kept his skin producing acid. Fast forward several years later, some friends were starting a Silver Age Sentinels game and the concept dangled in my head while making a character. What all could I do - besides eat through clothes and spit acid - with this? It actually came in rather handy. (And created a surprisingly large dice pool for some attacks... I kind of broke a bunker with a spitball. If you know Tristat, I had ... a *lot* of dice to roll for that.) Come City of Heroes, well, I figured to give the same idea a try. But the only thing available for a tank, which fit the rest of the character (with super strength) well, was Fire armor. So I ran with that, but wasn't really satisfied. COV came along and gave us brutes, with SS/Dark Armor. Closer, definitely. Then that swapped blueside, and I have the closest I came to the idea - a DA/SS tank. Sort of worked with the fear, too, because who'd want to get close or stay close to this acid-reeking guy? But it was still just "close." So what should Acid armor be? - Resist based. I just dont' see Acid giving a defense of any sort, really. Though it may affect tohit. - Damage enhancing. Probably Toxic. - Weakness would *likely* be cold. - AOE based. Yes, an AOE damage toggle - but I could also see this creating an area for team resists (the enemy gets too close, acid in the air affects their ability to fight as well,) *potentially* defense (same reason,) and/or enemy -tohit. - Buffing regeneration. Since, after all, whatever caused you to have this acidic armor probably doesn't want you dying of it. Or maybe it's just your body's reaction. Considering: - The set builds off and reinforces itself, not just by having more armor, but in a fashion similar to how the Fighting pool's attacks are more effective if you have more of them. - Having a heal that also gives a damage buff. You're healing yourself with an odd acid, it should have other odd effects. Or maybe it just *hurts* and punching something harder makes you feel better. I'm not judging. - Should probably work up an acid melee with a lingering DOT to go with it. Edit: Rough idea. Not a numbers guy, so... no real numbers. And the order can be switched around. Potential workup: T1: Ooze. Passive S/L/Toxic. (Gets folded into first armor toggle for stalkers.) T2: Acerbic aura Active S/L/Toxic/fire? toggle. T3: Sulfrous Succor Passive +regen. T4: Corrosive Cloud PBAOE damage aura - toxic/?. Slight boost to T1 when taken. Adds KB protection to T1. (Or just add here.) T5: Boiling blood Self-heal. Slight dmg boost. (Possibly where to put status protection?) Boosts T2 when taken. T6: +Recovery. Adds chance to stun to Corrosive Cloud. (Adds other resists to T2? Or just put them here?) T7:Acid puddle PBAOE placed acid puddle. DOT. Boosts T3 when obtained. Yes, I was tempted to call this "dropped acid." T8: ... all right, I don't know. Something nifty, hopefully. T9: Vaporous... PBAOE toggle. Team +Def/+Res and/or enemy -tohit. Boosts Corrosive Cloud -
I have ... Celery. (Debating moving it over to my main account.) The bio: (Had to be done.) The Hamidon knows it has to evolve to drive its takeover. So it started creating new forms. Brutes that could beet its foes to oblivion. Some, it gave the skill to arti-fully choke its enemies. Don't ask about the kumquat. But Celery. Celery is aware. Independent. Cunning. Rebellious, it fights against its creator. Celery stalks the night.

... we need a Mighty Hover power. Hover to where there's absolutely no doubt you're hovering, and *will* hover, right there.

Well, they're boxes about yea wide and yea tall, filled with electronics, drives and small hamsters that are *very* good at heating up a room en masse. Mostly the electronics do that, the hamsters just kind of ask for more water. Only ones I can really say antyhing about go with the server descriptions - I'd check the individual boards out. Everlasting is the best server, since it's the unofficial RP server. 🙂 There's often something going on. Like MSRs? Two a night. Hami raids? Several per night. And everything else keeps rolling. INdomitable is the unofficial PVP server. Can't say what it's like over there. Reunion's the Euroserver. I understand there are many small cars and disco clubs there, and they type with outrrraaaegous accents. 🙂

I *want* to say it's from the buffs from the toggles being reapplied. Not 100% on that though.

... I solo it on pretty much everything. Takes a little prep work, but no reason to skip it or enlist help. Just something that can distract Honoree or Holz on occasion. (Shivans are free, reinforcements are... fairly cheap.) Just as long as I'm not the *first* thing attacked. (I still don't get people needing help with Trapdoor, either.) You get extra bonus fun if you're running something with trip mines. Don't click on the pile-of-rubble glowie, clear things out, plant trip mines on either side of the front of the "bridge" (there will be *nothing* there once you clear the room in front) where you pull holz and honoree from. Click on rubble, portals appear, portals get blown up. 🙂 I did mention that. 🙂

Which is a separate bit all together, but yeah, I'd love to see him back in Galaxy (Echo: Babs) -
Switch "Echo" zones to free for all zones
Greycat replied to Glacier Peak's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Interesting, and I wouldn't mind something *interesting* being done with Galaxy. As far as BAB... he's a very convenient trainer, since you come out from there if you run Officer Fields' arc, and he's right near Thiery. Frankly I find myself leveling near there a good bit early on. (Not everyone DFBs to death.) While we don't need *more* PVP zones, we don't need to have them taken away, either. That said, I would not argue with a *copy of* Warburg being added to Redside - it's chock full of things that would interest redside, lorewise. And a *copy of* Bloody Bay (with inactive meteors) likely as a coop zone - both since there's presence there on both sides and both would want to do some investigation, as well as giving a location (besides... what, one mission on both sides? Two?) to get the Shivan defeat badges. Siren's call? A *copy* of it blueside, since it's blueside events that made it (and I still see "oh, there's a major, hostile enemy presence IN ONE OF OUR CITIES, we'll just let it sit there" as pants-on-head stupid. Yes, I feel that way about the Arachnos base in Faultline, too. At least in Mercy you get to kick the other side out.) -
Incarnates. Building out your build. Going back and playing the stuff you missed. Or what I prefer, lots and lots of alts for new ideas.

If we're looking specifically at ATOs, which I think most people buy the packs for, they *are* sold at the merit vendor. The rest of the stuff is nice - and does drop, generally - but the ATOs tend to be the focus. Though it *would* be nice to have an alternate way to get them. Heck, I'll buy a Winter IO, sell it for 17-25 million, and turn around and buy a hero/villain or rogue/vig pack sometimes. 🙂 That way I take a shot at what's in it and still have some inf left over.

Yeah, this could go in badging, but it's really not a "badging" discussion. And no, it's not a meta discussion, really - I'm not talking "Yep, I can use the extra 5% health from this accolade." What badges or badging locations do you just *like* - just in general, or on specific characters/types? I've got a couple that I just like visiting. Echo: Galaxy has "Tank" - obviously, I'd like it on tanks, but it's more for the "turn off anything but sprint and try to get it" little mini game. Back of the leg, thigh, back, try to stop on the shoulder and hop onto the hand. I don't always manage it the way I *like,* but I find the attempt fun. Moreso than Echo:RCS's "Ace," even though it's sort of the same thing - though I usually try that with travel powers. (Honestly, there should be a badge on the bald head of the statue in Steel.) Bird Watcher and Blue Steel (remember, nothing but sprint!) are also fun. Not as *much* of a challenge, but fun. And I will admit to a few catpeople with "bird watcher." >.> Probably the last one I tend to go for is in Boomtown - Destined for Valhalla. Because who doesn't like running/jumping up the side of a building... even if it is tilted over? (Or maybe especially because it is.)

Well, Monday was never good anyways. Tuesday, things go a little sideways. Wednesday things go better - just for spite. Thursday and Friday take too long. Before you know it, Saturday's gone...
