I'm not attacking you, but what is more "creative/imaginative" - someone's physique acting somewhat inline with how they work IRL, or not restricting characters to such things? How is the mundane/realistic expectation the more novel approach to take?

IIRC, it's the fashion gloves with the studs option, which goes nicely with the sleeves, (gunslinger or similar, I think), which also has the studs, so they blend together nicely.

YW! This may be a good read for you, if you're at all interested...

Here's the problem with that - the macro that gets created when you use the macro command isn't actually a power - it's just a button to trigger the effect; It doesn't check if the power so-called has a cooldown or even if said power can actually be activated - it's only the system log that would display that info. You'd have to fundamentally change the way it works to sort of make a call to the relevant power, then query it, and finally to display the cooldown, if the power is in fact still on cooldown. Why not place the power in a slot that's easy for you to see, then instead use a powexec command that calls the power by slot number, instead?

And Beast, who is much larger/more massive than many other X-Men, *isn't* the strongest, but rather one of the smartest... isn't it fun how comics allow us to break from tropes/cliches!?

So for the leg section, you just stick with whatever skin color you're going with, then?

Is there a Labeaux bottom + tights option, or do you use a different skin color to accomplish the look?

To be as concise as possible, I think the issue you're running into is that the game basically calculates whether you've hit or not the moment you activate the power, so even if you've missed, you still have to go through the animation for the power. On top of that, if you're performing an assassin strike from a hidden state, there's a period of time where you can interrupt the power, so even just tapping a movement key can kind of cancel the power. Lastly, it is possible you're fighting an enemy with a high perception that sees through your stealth, or you're missing, which could break your hidden status.

That may be true, on average, for normal humans IRL, but once you throw in tech, magic, mutations, science, or non-humans with different sexual characteristics, things go right out the window...

I lieu of a chainmail bikini, I find your terms acceptable... 😝

I don't think height or body size/mass should come into play at all, (with regard to any sort of performance advantage or disadvantage), just like I don't think sex/body type should affect your effectiveness.

I was messing around and this design just kind of struck me. I call him "Crooked V" (see if you can figure out why 😝) Also, if you look at his face and relax your eyes a little, you'll see a little monster screaming to be let out...

Cocaine bear vs cocaine hippo... bring it on! Our most dangerous threat are the crack squirrels, though...

I mean, I'm glad that there's *some* markers, but I almost think that wrong/inaccurate ones are worse than not having any...

The original Vanguard base had these pulsing colored lines/paths that led you out to the actual warzone - maybe add another such colored trail, (if one doesn't already exist), along with little plaques on the walls labeled "Architect Entertainment"...

Well obviously it'd have to be an enchanted guitar, or one made of unobtanium, to hold up to the kind of abuse our characters would put them through... 😉

The point is that the P2W/START powers aren't supposed to fully replace actual travel powers you have to invest a power pick in. On top of all that, and as others have stated, the Void Skiff and Hoverboard powers aren't compatible with existing animations.

Except I don't think the game keeps track of any prior acknowledgements. By having it the way it is now, you *have to* very deliberately agree each time. Irrelevant. YOU are responsible for things you agree to, and as the saying goes "ignorance of the law is no excuse"...

From a QoL standpoint, I agree, but take a step back and consider that, perhaps, they want you to have to consciously and intentionally agree to the ToS, instead of just mashing keys to get passed it...

The defense buff from parry is nothing to sneeze at. The "need" varies wildly, though, from set to set, and is, IMHO, more of a "like to have" than an absolute necessity...

No doubt, but look at what's being presented - all things being equal, run a regen and various other armor sets through the same content, and compare how they perform. +0/x1 may perform similarly, so then slowly start ramping things up. I'm not saying every set needs to be able to run +4/x8 in complete isolation, but there definitely is a performance gap between regen and other armor sets...

It's not about "want" - It's about baseline effectiveness. I can't think of another armor set that *needs* to rely on a T9 or external powers to, for instance, survive alpha strikes...

That maybe the case if you want to cap def/res, but practically every other armor set can stand on its own, without needing to dip into pools/incarnates/IO set bonuses just to make them functional...

Here's the problem - you're basically admitting that the way to "mitigate" things while playing regen is to go outside of the powerset...

IIRC, Assault has some taunt resistance. My comments were also kind of proposing those that are missing from regen be added, as well. I wonder if a mechanic could be added that kind of counters DoTs with an equal amount of healing in response to them, if the ability to outright end them sooner is not possible...
