What would you do if you were a DEV?! (Fun Ideas Talks)
biostem replied to SSR's topic in General Discussion
But I can't imagine that, even if stolen from Crey, Council, or other sources, that they're using those parts "as intended". Also, none of the parts look like their alleged source groups' tech, so they must be just smashing stuff together and seeing what works, (and if a Freakshow dies mid-transplant, they probably deem them as not strong enough anyway, and just move onto the next "patient")... -
How can Radiation heroes justify using their powers?
biostem replied to Zombra's topic in General Discussion
More so than launching fireballs, calling forth storms, summoning undead, or even demons? IMHO, it's all about control and how/when/against whom you use your powers, not what those powers are. Now, you could RP that your character does have some issues with containing their powers, so you just toggle them off or otherwise simply don't use them while civilians are nearby... -
What would you do if you were a DEV?! (Fun Ideas Talks)
biostem replied to SSR's topic in General Discussion
I thought the thing with the Freakshow is that they stole experimental drugs that allowed them to wire themselves up with second-rate or improvised cybernetics, hence why they're weaker to energy damage, since those parts are basically kludged together... -

Spidey 4: Brand New Day
biostem replied to ThaOGDreamWeaver's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Given how they dressed-down the women in Spider Woman, I am not confident that they could portray Black Cat adequately, currently... -
Tina Macintyre - Defeat 50 Crey doesn't give credit for defeats
biostem replied to Uun's topic in Bug Reports
Did the mission owner defeat any Crey, directly, themselves? -

Captain America: Brave New World
biostem replied to Excraft's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
Sure, and in the comics, Pym created Ultron, not some weird Stark + Banner + Mind Stone conglomeration; Similarly, Captain Mar-Vell, (or however you spell it), was much different than the person who served as Danvers' mentor in the MCU version. Clearly they pick and choose what they adapt from the comics and what they leave behind, so saying "X is canon in the comics" has no relevance - they do w/e they want... -
Now I'm picturing someone in a long trench coat trying to lure people into some dark alley, only for them to reveal a pristine and impressive costume underneath...

I give this thread my deepest condemnation, in the form of the oft-reviled PINEAPPLE PIZZA reaction!!!

I'd love it if they could take the existing weapon models and give us tintable, translucent wireframe versions, to represent energy/hard-light constructs...

TY HC team & community!

What if their digestion is just so efficient that they extract all usable nutrients and violently expel what remains... which would be most of it, in the case of Taco Bell...

Yeah - I similarly put a touch of lady grey damage proc in my rad armor's taunt aura, for a bit of damage, but I can certainly see why someone may not want that...

Hey! At least they didn't accuse you of being a streetwalker...

Don't pass over radiation armor - tons of end there, and it kind of fits with anything pertaining to "radioactive ore" or the like...

Can someone explain Enhancement Diversification to me here?
biostem replied to Black Gryphon's topic in General Discussion
This link also gives a good breakdown. To put it as simply as possible, (and using rough numbers here), but once you get to where you can slot Single-Origin Enhancements, (SOs), you get full benefit from the 1st two of the same type, slightly less value for the 3rd of that same type you slot in the same power, and much less from any after that, (again, of the same type and in the same power). It's gets a little more complicated once you are talking about Invention-Origin enhancements, (IOs), but if you look at the value should you try to slot the 3rd+ of an enhancement, note the % benefit listed, (before placing said enhancement), and compare it to what's listed on the enhancement itself... -
I got my elec/rad brute to 50 a short time ago, and have been running TFs or regular missions to get them through the incarnate stuff and and fund the process of "IO-ing them up". I find it to be a great combination, with near limitless energy and that extra layer of absorption...

Avengers: Doomsday - Full Cast Announcement
biostem replied to ZacKing's topic in Comic, Hero & Villain Culture
I mean, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that all these actors/characters coming back will either be "extended cameos", or only appear for some final rallying cry in the 3rd act, a la End Game's final battle... -
I wonder if they could use an effect similar to the stone crystal options as well. Heck, if they just added glowing options, it'd go a long way to accomplishing this look...

What would you do if you were a DEV?! (Fun Ideas Talks)
biostem replied to SSR's topic in General Discussion
If we're talking "sky's the limit", then MM pet customization. If we're talking something a little more realistic, at least maybe 1 new MM primary that utilizes existing assets. Finally, if we're talking something even more doable, I'd say "travel power auras" for costumes. -
What if, instead of a new enhancement slot, you could instead tag an existing slot, which would increase the effectiveness of that enhancement, (perhaps only working for actual stat increases instead of procs, since those would open a whole 'nother bag of worms)?
-
TBH, given the fewer number of single-pistol animations, I think this would be the best route to take. It'd also allow existing characters to gain access to such powers...
