8 Fire/Rad Controllers Lock them down, weld the lock shut. "Look out for the..." *SIZZLE* *AUGH!* *THUMP* "Well...THAT was disappointing..." "Hey! Where'd this dead AV come from?"

City of Heroes is City of Heroes. CIty of Heroes is not WoW City of Heroes is not Everquest City of Heroes is not Guild Wars City of Heroes is not EVE (THANK YOU GOD!) City of Heroes is its own thing. If you want to have fun, learn to play the game on its own terms. Trying to force the game to conform to YOUR idea of "How it ought to be" is just going to leave you unsatisfied. Tanks are more than simply mobile fat sacks of hit points. They're combat controllers with multiple medium and soft controls. "Follow the Tank" hasn't been a necessity in the game. More or less since...EVER. And it's gotten less so over time as various changes to the game and massive build research have meant that you can be godlike in ANYTHING with a bit of prep work. So, if you're a Tank and your team leaves you behind, they're out being useful for something more than as witnesses to your bundle of awesome. And if you're bumming because they aren't there, YOU are slowing the mission down. Not them. A Tank's "job" isn't to prevent teammates from endangering themselves. Your job is to grab mobs and beat the crap out of them. If others help, great. But they aren't NECESSARY. Please see my sig for the ultimate explanation of Tanks.

Invulnerability Tanker - Unstoppable question
Hyperstrike replied to PeacekeeperKara's topic in Tanker
That's like saying unemployment checks are "free money". This is factually incorrect. No. You had to invest in the power to get that slot. That's the very opposite of "free". -
Invulnerability Tanker - Unstoppable question
Hyperstrike replied to PeacekeeperKara's topic in Tanker
I'm going to just disagree with you. "Three minutes is a long time". Start listing off TF fights that're NORMALLY 3 minutes or less without a tricked build. It's a suicide button with a three minute delay. And even if you're loading up on Psi-Resist bumps, you have 7 normal Resist powers (3 active, 3 passive and Tough, which on an end-stage build should just be turned OFF). So you don't need that slot. In short. Unstop is a waste of a power pick and any extra slots devoted to it may as well have been flushed down an outhouse. -
I use this as one of my ship raid leaders.

How do you think he does it? What makes him so good?

I'm pretty sure "that" is NOT what they mean by "Eye of the Tiger"...

Are you excited about the future of the MCU?

GIMME THE GODDAMN KITTY KAT BRACELET! -
It doesn't matter the AT. Spring Attack is a waste of a power pick.

Luckily I presented no diatribe. 😝 It is a monologue. And quite a short one at that. 😀
-
As I said above. Spring Attack is a waste of a power selection. If it did proper damage and had a SANE recharge compared to other such powers? Maybe then. But right now? I'd rather invest slots in BRAWL than waste the prerequisite power selections and slot investment for SA. Example.

Basically Fire Tanks are now Fire TANKS, and not back-door Scrapper/Brutes. They can be built RIDICULOUSLY tough, with some nasty tricks for multiplying damage output.

I loved the Raimi Spider-Man for what it was at the time. McGuire got the Nerdy Parker part right. But McGuire couldn't deliver *snappy* dialog (CRITICAL FOR SPIDEY) to save his soul. EVERYTHING for him is slow and mush-mouthed. Garfield's Spider-Man was better for Spidey, but played Parker too "cool". Honestly, while some people have problem with the Holland depiction of Parker/Spidey, he's actually about the best-rounded of the three. Saw Loki. Was interesting, but ultimately it was a masturbation fantasy. Didn't see WandaVision. Don't give a damn about another Captain Marvel flick. Black Panther was kinda lightning in a bottle. It's probably best just to move on. Shang Chi was, at best, a mildly less than annoying mess of a film. If you want to see what the bus fight of the film COULD have been? Go watch "Nobody". what If? has had some interesting premises. Black Widow was a mess. And it should have been released about 5 years ago by someone who actually gave a damn about the project. The film is all flash. The second Spider-Man film was decent. And trying to stay fair and balanced on the third. But damn with the cross-reality storyline, resurrecting well done villains and the Spidey crossover. The nearly-dead comic book geek in me is squeeing harder than an MLP convention with REAL MAGICAL PONIES! -
That and the "Stupid Camera Tricks" problems with teleport in the game. Though it's possible to bind it to do "Teleport to TARGET" instead of using the placement halo. If only Spring Attack was worth a damn. Shield-Charge --> Spring Attack --> Foot Stomp would be a MONSTER combo. Like being caught up in an earthquake.

I've already tested Win11. However, I'm going to give it at least a year of patching before I allow it even a modicum of trust.

No. Liefeldism needs to die.

I have a DP/Inv. And it's a thing of beauty.

Can we get a server with issue12 ? pre!13 changes ?
Hyperstrike replied to XxOwnZz's topic in Suggestions & Feedback
Not going to say that the answer is "no". But the chances of this happening are slimmer than spontaneously exploding. We don't have Issue 12-13 code. Building a set of server code to simulate I12-13 would require extensive development. We would then have multiple code branches that would need maintenance. We would need a separate and totally segregated server instance. Separate mail system, separate market, etc. -

Technically, Uatu is speaking for the benefit of the other Watchers. As we are beings who have purview outside the Marvel Multiverse, this makes us "Watchers" as well. -
Glad you're getting so much mileage out of this concept!
