I mean, not everyone wants to spend hours sorting out their build on Mids'. I do, but I like problem solving exercises. "This power looks cool" or "I want to do this" is also always a valid option.

What we really need is a Goldilocks forum where the 'The Game Is Too Easy', 'The Game Is Too Hard', and 'The Game Is Just Right' crowd can duke it out.

I'm always happy to have a defender aboard with my 50s. Especially with my blaster. She's a fragile little nuke machine.

Listen to Alfred, people: Some men just want to watch the world burn.

This looks promising, I'm eager to try it on DP!

'TW is OP because the spreadsheet says so' misses that TW isn't that OP in actual practice. Beyond the endurance issues limiting the build to certain armors, also consider the lost momentum time due to positioning, missing on the momentum swing, and everyone and their grandmother toting AOEs which wipe out the spawn before you've finished your momentum swing. The level 50 tallies tell more of the truth, its rare that I'll see another TW in the wild. I'm curious to see what the Cap has planned, TW can still use a little care.

The bigger the forum drama. And the forums aren't the game.

A new logo, huh?

WM/EA because nothing beats strong & pretty.

Flipping was how I tricked out my characters back in live. It's not as easy as it sounds, I might still have the spreadsheets around here somewhere.

Except if there was a nerf, prices would be going up across the board and that's not happening. Common is still at <500 and rares are still at 500k.

I try to count how many stories I send them upwards with Crushing Uppercut. Do KB enhancements work vertical as well as horizontal?

Rad/StJ. Combat Readiness -> Ground Zero with the Achilles Heel proc -> Spinning Strike turned out far far better than I initially has thought. Even more now with the tank buffs. Rad Armor is just so good.

I think I remember that, yeah. And looking back on it, yikes.

The pop numbers have been trending up since New Year's, but don't let that get in the way of hijacking this into a doom thread. Back on topic, no Kin/Fire scraps? Huh.

So are mine: 20 DP/Fire blasters, 44 Staff/DA brutes, 33 Ill/Sonic controllers, 57 Elec/Elec stalkers, and 24 Rad/StJ tankers. And the squishies faceplant pretty often too, gotta finish up their builds someday... Thanks, @Cipher!

Tyrant as Statestwo: Not really buying it. Tyrant realizing his guiding philosophy led to apocalypse, thinking maybe States had better ideas, and slowly growing into becoming the Atoner while still being himself: That I would like to buy.

Manti as a nihilist bad guy, yeah, no. Paragon needs stately Justin Manor. Also bringing Manti back from the brink would make for a good optimistic story when everything else is going to heck.

Things I'd like to see before even thinking about bringing States back: Paragon City dealing with a post-States present. There's a hint of it in Kallisti Wharf, it's be neat to expand on it. Lord Recluse dealing with a post-States present. The opportunity's there now, but is it the same without RIIICHHHAAAARRRR- er- Marcus? How Manticore deals with, well, everything. We're gonna have to bring Justin back from a very dark place. Synapse and Positron buddy cop adventures. Jim Temblor and Fusionette buddy cop adventures. Lady Grey forming her own Suicide Squad with Tyrant.

Closed in less than three hours? Fantastic!

I was going to put on a serious hat about how villains and vigilantes are problematic by nature, but... Shock Therapy is a support set. so its also consensual.

Hey, did everyone know that redside missions are your character working in service of a fascist organization trying to rule the world?

We already have a villain in-game named Shock Treatment. We also have Pain Domination which is literally abuse as a powerset. Ninjas, Tsoo, and the Family all trading on cultural stereotypes. Dual Pistols and Assault Rifles are NRA approved. I mean if y'all really want to have Discourse(tm) about problematic stuff, we can have that discussion.

Is there a Temecula zone I don't know about?
