Aracknight

Not really interested in a day where people spend it regurgitating someone else's thoughts that they found on the internet. There's enough parrots in the world already.

Not the type of purge I was thinking of.

If you'd have said Cap'n Mako, you would have won the day.

I love our devs, and I love Homecoming, but this is a set of awesome options. I suggested non-sword options for fiery and icy melee after the stone melee changes, but all swords is actually pretty cool too.

So you could use this with Fly and sort of mimic jump pack? Set it to your jump button and when you hold it down you go up, and when you let it go you drop. Or a bunch of other things. Nice. Or your forward button turns on a movement power, and when you let it go to stop moving it turns off. Dope. Dope as in "That is" not as in "You are a"

For me, the Aracknight is really the only role I can slip into. On the surface, he's just an old school MA/SR Scrapper doing MA/SR Scrapper things. But his eyes were the first eyes to see Atlas Park back in I8. His eyes were my last eyes to see sunset. And his were the first eyes to see the sun rise over Atlas Park once more with Homecoming. At over 1500 badges he's done so much, and with each issue there's more for him to do. With each new power set or pool modification and easy respec access, there's more for him to try. With each new invention set comes endless tweaking, pushing him to the absolute edge of performance. With so many costumes and builds available, he can carry around an Arachnos mace and summon Arachnos pets to fight alongside him, or he can toss lightning and ion judgment, or various sized fireballs around. I can create three different builds with different concepts or specializations, like PVP, if I ever actually become interested in it. I think Bill Z framed it best, that Aracknight's love and contributions to the game are the best version of Me that I can bring to Paragon. I can tweak for pylon times. I can tweak for taking on AV's. I don't need to post all my results, because it's really just Aracknight vs Aracknight, which is the most Scrapper thing I can even conceptualize. I've tried the alt game, but I could never slip my mind inside any other toon for more than a little while. The best I've been able to manage is various MA/SR ported archetypes: Tank, Brute, and Stalker, and they're all pretty similar but give me options. I haven't been fortunate or personally vulnerable enough to make actual friends in the game that might need the Aracknight to serve more than one purpose on the regular, but please don't think that's about the population, that's about me. I'm not even in a supergroup, I just PUG or solo my @$$ off and it's let him earn all those badges I mentioned earlier just fine, Including several Mo's (even Keyes!) One day I might get into AE, and create an Aracknight origin story, or an Aracknight Task Force, and that's cool to have as an option too. Regrettably someone nicked his name on the roleplay server and seems to have vanished, so he hangs out on Excelsior and gets into whatever nonsense he can there, but roleplaying would be ideal. I'm endlessly grateful that he can continue his adventures. Thanks for letting me wax nostalgic and poetical about this, and sorry it went so long.

Oh, my, god. Becky, look at her abdomen. She looks like one of Black Scorpion's' girlfriends. They only talk to her, because, she looks like a total doorsitter, 'kay? I mean, her spinnerettes, are just so...big.

Have we considered putting this in "Ears" instead? This way we don't lose Detail 1 OR Detail 2?

T2 is Storm Kick. Bonus defense on tanks and brutes.

So does this mean that "get over here" powers might become possible?

I like the weapon-free options for Stone Melee. More customization is always better. I think the logical next questions are (with standard code rant and volunteer time restraints already inherently understood): 1) can we get weapon free versions for the other sets that have random swords (Fire, Ice, PSI) 2) can we get weapon ONLY versions where weapon attacks are options for non-originally weapon attacks (An all fire sword option for Fiery Melee, for example). Thank you for all your hard work.

INB4 RTFM

Oh. Island hopping! Island hopping is fun. It's like a game of the water is lava!

Well I usually rock infilitration two slotted with winter's gift and sprint with the stealth IO, which makes me pretty undetectable. The running speed is a little too much though, I'm SR and with Infiltration and Sprint running, I'm at the old speed cap of 92 mph running, which is hard for me to control. I thought it was cool to be at the old run speed cap without super speed, but it's not cool after all. It's a bit too fast for me tactically. I guess the option of putting the stealth IO in Infitlration exists, and turning off Sprint would probably save me some END. But it's the old speed cap! lol.

I like the jumping mini-game too. I started with super jump, then I used Ninja Run, and now I use Infiltration, and learning how to time, angle, and understand hitting your landing target is something I've spent idle hours on over the years. There's something just lovely about hopping from rooftop to rooftop in King's Row or parts of Peregrine Island. Especially when you land behind an unsuspecting sniper with Crane Kick queued up.... I actually may strip out Winter's Gift from Infiltration and just put in a jump set. I'm re-learning why I turned off speed boost at null the gull. I seem to have lots of trouble maneuvering about at high running speeds. Sure it's nice traveling between missions, but in caves and tight office spaces, I suck at it.

Still digging it. Thanks.

Does this mean that the resistance kicks in faster? If so: Awesome. Then the oft-overlooked second trick our pony does just got better. Can we consider adding the PVP Toxic resistance to PVE also, and with bated breath, PSI damage too?

I dunno..I think we're a little too negative.... Kalinda sighed, looking at the fallen Fortunata at her feet. The fifth or sixth this week. They had all been assigned to work on Project: DESTINY, but something was now horribly wrong. As they would attempt to gaze into the near future, they'd instantly cry in pain and fall dead, with only a bare scrap of information shared among their psychic link before they were cut off.

Any of you involved in any illegal activity? 'Cause I could sure go for some!

100% thought this thread was gonna be about Freddy Krueger.

I'll try that too, thank you for the advice.

I'd really appreciate someone's generosity in releasing my main's name Aracknight on Everlasting. We lived on Virtue back since I8. My one regret about finding Homecoming is that someone snagged the name on the roleplay server. :( It's my global and my forum handle, so if you're out there, take some pity on me :)
