biostem

This is one of the things I like over on Champions Online - it stores the last few colors you've used in special slots above the main color palette...

I have been taken for granite...

You must be SR with all the dodging you're doing...

Nice dodge. Please answer the question.

Is "4th down & 3 over" more difficult than remembering 3 separate numeric values? I'm not against having the option to use RGB values, but this seems like a stretch...

I thought Recluse was "Science" because he attempted to intervene and direct/manipulate what was granted to him by the Well of Furies, vs Statesman just kind of "going with it"...

I liked some aspects of my last costume, so repurposed them into what I'm calling "Clodhopper" on account of it being really late and her having huge boots...

Well, the 1st season has concluded, and I have to say it definitely didn't disappoint! I do hope it gets renewed for more seasons! Try to avoid spoilers if you have even the tiniest interest in watching this series!

That reminds of this joke about lightbulbs...

"The Lark Knight":

It need not be that severe, but as the saying goes "you can sue a ham sandwich" or something to that extent.

It's not so much about "stuff is being copied", it's about some weird "out there" reason that could cause other complications, (again, only from my admittedly limited understanding of things), like HC receiving a cease & desist or some other oddity...

From my understanding, it has more to do with "hey you copied our stuff" and any potential ramifications that may entail, than not wanting to implement what is or is not a good idea...

I am not using them BECAUSE they were not implemented in a way that works with anything else. If they were, then I probably would. They should not have been added as separate pieces because they do not fit with anything else.

You're asking the wrong question; Why would the developer add costume options that don't fit with each other, when they are supposed to be generic enough to fit with a wide variety of pieces, (because asking for total universality isn't possible).

Aren't the options under a particular category supposed to be interchangeable, though? I do not think it's intended that costume parts should only look good/correct when used with other parts of the same set...

For some people, heroics or villainy are a way of life, demanding total dedication. For others, who are looking for an exciting job with flexible hours and good pay.... Join "Cast 'n Blast" Inc!

Don't you fight Black Scorpion on that map at the end of his first Patron arc?

I keep revisiting energy blast hoping to find some eloquent solution to the KB. Telling people they can take a power from the teleport pool, which requires 2 prerequisite powers, is not this. IO set bonuses would be one way to address the loss of a more useful 6th slot instead of the KB->KD IO. Either way, I'm not going to bother quoting quotes of prior quotes. Do what you like, but I'm not going to bother responding on this any further.

You seem to be implying, from the above quotes, that fold space is a better or more preferable alternative to introducing an IO set with a set bonus that converts KB->KD.

People will always complain, but people complaining is not grounds to *not* do something. What I'm having difficulty in understanding is how providing a KB->KD set bonus is worse than advising people to just take another power, (one that, should be pointed out, requires 2 other TP powers to take).

So you shoot down my suggestion of an IO set with a bonus being KB->KD, but are in favor of taking a completely separate power to re-group those knocked-back enemies? This doesn't track...

It is literally impossible to make an effect that scatters enemies "more appealing", when keeping them all nicely clumped together is preferable, (short of having any KB effect 1-shot enemies).

Kind of a "side suggestion" - what if they added a few IO sets, (ranged, AoE, melee, melee AoE, or a universal damage set), that instead of having a special IO that changed KB to KD, it had decent set bonuses, with one of those being the conversion of KB->KD, (maybe from only slotting 2 or 3)?

It isn't "necessary" to slot acc or damage, either, but it's sure nice to do so...
