I always liked Heroes Unlimited from Palladium Books, and the FASERIP Marvel Super Heroes game was my gateway into gaming.

It's all good Troo. You quoted my die hard meme earlier, so it's all love. The people who patrol this subforum that I'm essentially calling Mean Girls however, either don't know or don't believe that they are doing anything that could be received as harmful or hurtful, which in my opinion is sort of the misguided point this thread is trying to make.

Crab spider backpacks as Aether Costume powers, since Warshades and Peacebringers got aether options for their EAT effects.

Can we get an alternate animation for grenade powers (web grenade, frag grenade, temps, epics, et al) that is more shooty and less throwy? I feel like the quick snipe animations (whether open hand, or closed fist, or both!) could be a good fit animation time-wise.

Yes please. I'd love it for all dart attacks. Including the Tranq Dart origin power.

Honestly, I'd prefer it if they performed all the same. With melee, Same number of st vs cone vs aoe. T1, T2, etc damage is the same across all sets, with the differences being damage type and additional effect. (Martial arts does smashing and stun, ice does cold and slow, fire does fire and fire dot, etc). Then you could tune the differences between archetypes with the non damaging powers. Example, stalkers get placate, scrappers get confront, tanks get taunt, and brutes get ...nerfed probably. Kidding! But maybe Brutes could get something different that suits them better. Same with build up. It could do to hit plus damage/fear mag and duration on stalker, to hit plus damage/whatever on scrapper, to hit plus damage/ mez duration/magnitude on tanks, hell why not give rage to all brute sets to make the at different in that way instead of confining it to super strength alone. But I'm a numbery spreadsheet-fu kind of guy at heart. Your mileage and preference may vary.

Way, Waaaaaaay more "currencies" than we had In The Beginning. Back then it was Inf, and then Prestige. Then came salvage, recipes, and just.....all the merits. It's arguably worse now with threads, aether, etcetera etcetera etcetera.

Yoooo, can we get those electric (and other) teleport options added to the long range teleport power?

'Member when this thread was nice and civilized and offered suicide as a solution? Pepperidge Farm does.

I dont think this works as a power pool, but the idea of a super car (or other vehicle, nemesis horse, etc) sliding up to take you somewhere via the long range/team teleport powers (especially the ones that cross zones) is something i could get down on.

As someone who put the Celerity + Stealth in Swift on live on my Scrapper, i can say it did in fact make hostage missions very very difficult. But, could Hurdle perhaps be allowed to take Leaping (but not Leaping & Sprints) sets and Swift take Running (but not Running & Sprints) sets to avoid the Stealth enhancement in Unbounded Leap and Celerity? Might split the difference this way, given there's separate invention set categories for these things now.

Not sure if already asked, but is there any way we can extend the character name limit to more than 20? Maybe to 25ish? Or would that fracture reality as we know it?

No, I believe that I gave a reason why I feel a certain way. And now I'm being told that the way I feel is my own fault, due to a choice I've made? I think we aren't using the word wrong in the same context. I think you are using the "2 + 2 = 5 is wrong" context, whereas the context I was using was the "Eating babies is wrong wtf is wrong with you" version. I suspect you believe you are educating me and others in a helpful way, but please accept that very, very often the perception is quite the opposite.

Corrections to an idea. You know, I can accept "i don't like your idea" and "i dont think your idea will work" and even "have you looked at it thru this lens" but the phrase "correcting an idea" steps right on my goddamn nerves and puts the finger right on the pulse of the experiences some people have on this particular subforum. This statement, to me, implies not that someone thinks an idea is bad, but rather compels me to believe that one thinks that the idea is wrong and both it, and the person who had the idea, require correction. This is why people might take "corrections to an idea" negatively. I like the idea? Fine. I don't like the idea? Fine. Your idea is good? Fine. Your idea is bad? Ouch, but fine. Your idea needs work? Fine. But your idea is Wrong? Fuck that.
