biostem

Still a work in progress. What I can tell you is she's a redside bio/kin tank.

I've been on a bit of a tights kick lately. Here's 2 others I rather like: Operative Rumble and Lashlass:

Based upon feedback and advice from this thread, I ended up creating "Shocicle" as my "fighting controller", (ice/elec):

I would love to see some conditional-use triggers added for costume slots - things like "in combat", "when travel power is active", "when a certain power is used", etc...

Nope. Read your entire post. For someone who claims "This issue is not ruining the game, or even my enjoyment of the game.", you sure seem to be very defensive about the very suggestion you put forth earlier. Here's a free piece of advise - if you aren't in favor of something, either don't mention it as a way of achieving some end, or actually state that you aren't in favor of it and/or frame your statement as something you would never actually want to see implemented.

People get heated. Some people can't or won't temper their expectations. The use of a generic "they" is just shorthand for "the game developers", or similar groups of people responsible for the game in question. I don't think it's a matter of dehumanizing things inasmuch as it is simple shorthand and general ease of use.

I did. You put forth a suggestion of limiting XP gain rate, as a way of reducing PL-ing. That is, by definition, dictating a particular playstyle...

You posting on a forum, by definition, opens it up for discussion; You may not want to participate in the conversation further, but there it is. Regardless, trying to dictate how others play has always worked well in the past...

All the fighting attacks do indeed benefit from containment, (the damage is listed as "special" since they get a bonus from having the other attacks from the set):

As much as some people may deride gamers, they do take their pastimes seriously; Emotions run hot, and some people do not know how to temper that and express themselves in a creative way. All you can do is be a calm, informed player/member, and either ignore or try to defuse the situation, (though in the case of the latter, it can sometimes make things worse).

A certain percent of people are jerks. A game's fanbase is no exception to this. The larger the fandom, the more jerks there will be in it. It's just math...

I started leveling up an ice/elec controller with this goal in mind. I'll see how it goes, and adjust/adapt as needed. By all means, please keep the input coming!

Probably a grav/elec controller.

Great look! It's outfits like this, however, that make me wish we had a better selection of tans & beiges to work with...

So I've been leveling up a ninja/poison MM, and I've noticed something weird - the debuff powers that have a tohit check don't seem to report that info to the combat log, unless they miss, (see screenshot below). If I should post this in the bug section, I'll do so, but I just wanted to know if this was working as intended, first. This happens with envemon, weaken, and neurotoxic breath. Thanks for reading!

My issue with illusion is that it's a but more difficult, unless you go with traps or trick arrow, to setup containment, and I'm not a huge fan of either secondary...

Not the biggest, not the strongest, bit she's still "The Almighty Aphid"!

I have made many dominators, but I just don't like their playstyle. I've played every AT. As far as which I'm most familiar with, I'd say brutes and defenders are my strongest ATs...

My concern would be them overpromising or failing to deliver consistent quality of additions/updates...

That seems like an overly jumbled and/or visually unappealing setup, IMHO, but if it works for that player, more power to them. I wonder if they're just using a series of binds and/or using one of those setups that changes what the same key does with each press...

Could you maybe share a pic or link to what you mean? I just setup whatever windows I find useful for the character I happen to be playing...

I want to create a controller that gets into the fray and uses the fighting pool. I was thinking of something like ice/sonic or elec/elec, but am admittedly not as strongly versed with controller primaries. I'm leaning toward a secondary that gives some status protection and extra damage mitigation. I would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for reading!

I think it was the Youtube channel "Generation Tech" that went into how, in some Legends books, the Sarlacc somehow extracted memories of its victims and since Boba was partially digested, he gained many of them. Either way, yeah - there's more to the experience than we've been shown thus far. The sail barge wreckage had ceased smoldering, IIRC, so it was probably a few days, or at least many hours, that he was down there. Since he was gasping for air, he could have also suffered some brain damage or something from oxygen depravation, etc...

What would be cool would be a MM-specific AT IO, which grants pets like 5 or so seconds of complete invulnerability when initially summoned...
