  1. It is possible but not without giving yourself a huge headache in the process . Although I would be curious to see what that looks like .
  2. For all The sci-Fi peeps who want to give a feeling of our base being in space. Window patches that give an appearance of looking out into vast space of varying sizes. This would be useful in creating things like an appearance of an actual working hangar bay to put the aircraft in or just windows in certain areas of your base to give it general appeal of immersion. Wouldn’t have to be just open space either , open sky, shadow shard etc. something that gives the base some feeling of not just being an underground bunker .
  3. Is that true you think if I prefer solo battle? I can tear down squishies quickly enough without dmg ench. Tanks seem to be a problem killing . Just wondering if slotted for damage would it make me better off?. I also know mez suppression Is a thing so I’m not sure if it’s worth slotting for maximum hold (especially when someone can just have a tray of BFs) I don’t know how much I can expect my damage to go up either .
  4. As a Gravity controller, am I better off slotting damage in my holds or hold ench? I would think damage but I could be wrong.
  5. I can’t speak to their intentions , I attacked a hero by the atlas statue , tank. Gravity dropped him to ground but I had hold ench. Not damage. Needless to say he got no where close to dying anytime soon. I got about 10% of his health off when a mind dom and fire corruptor come storming in to the rescue . Now I do have the t-4 power that makes Mez not work well against me, plus some of the best set bonuses that give mez protection . The corruptor just wasn’t doing insane amounts of damage But adequate . I dispatched the squishies in the air while I had the tank grounded with gravity . In some cases he jumped and reached me but I also had time’s juncture equipped which severely hampers melee attacks. i guess it makes sense gravity being good but I didn’t recall anyone singing its praises during live. I was able to keep them somewhat isolated from one another with the gravity , plus time giving me the ability to heal. I couldn’t kill the tank until the squishies finally gave up after face planting several times . I was finally able to kill the tank once I could focus on him. Ice tanker with hibernate. I suspect the T-4 gravitic -recharge proc probably severely hampered their Aggro against me. i occasionally had to do some strategic withdrawals but I used no inspirations at all. I used gravity / FF on live back in the day and I just recall having a much more difficult time taking on multiple assailants. But maybe you’re right in that I just had huge natural advantages .
  6. So the original plan Was to wait until my PVP build was complete before I attempted to PVP because I remember how intense it used to get on live. But out of boredom I went in prematurely with my PVE team build(not even my solo build) as a Gravity/Time controller and literally soloed 3 heroes at the same time, 2 days in a row. Granted my ench were maxed out and I had T-4 incarnates, (my character isn’t a push over) but I wasn’t expecting to do so well and so easily with a build not even geared towards PVP. I know excelsior isn’t the PVP server so maybe that’s it? I’m a decent PVPer but am by no means a God at it. Thoughts?
  7. There may be some miscommunication amongst the GMs then because I got an email from GM Conviction that this was the first time this was reported. it begs the question how many Devs or GMs are actually unaware of it?
  8. So last night I was traveling from Grandville to First Ward as a Rouge with no issue . As soon as I arrived in First Ward I tried to take the same portal back to Grandville but the game said I had to be a villain to enter . I would think this is obviously a bug. I had already sent a petition report and was directed here .
  9. I am building a space themed base and I'm building a hanger bay. I would like to knock out one of the walls so I can see space. Sorta pretending their is a forcefield...something you'd see in most sci fi movies..... thanks.
  10. What a bunch of soft people. You don’t belong in the isles.
  11. As a badge collector .... I’d say leave the badges out of this , it’s hard enough to collect them all without you adding badges that take hundreds of hours to get .
  12. Perhaps the best way to fix this I think if possible, is to make this into a map wide power with a prompt asking if you want Group Fly to effect you (like TP) if you haven’t auto turned it off/on. This would make adjusting flight speeds not needed as well.
  13. If there is any silver lining , maybe the devs investigate why this has over 200 comments and make some improvements ? Maybe GF gets a prompt like TP if it’s not auto turned off? But personally I sorta want GF to made into a map wide effect for pets (see thread on GF) perhaps this thread reminds them of the other ongoing GF thread?
  14. Perhaps you should make a habit of speaking plain so as to not be misinterpreted . Random comments like the one you just made after quoting me on why I used GF are misleading. Maybe next time just quote the part that just has me talking about why I don’t think I should have to announce my play style. Then you would have a case of a straw-man. and by the way I’ve always played the way I’ve played with the same attitude. Haven’t had any issues Teaming yet. Also never been kicked 🙂
  15. I mean so far the data speaks for itself . 3 people on the BAF bitching , twice that many telling them to shut it. Then the fact you seem to have maybe 2 supporters on this thread in terms of GF.... so objectively speaking in terms of numbers yes. I didn’t block you by the way, the other guy did .
  16. Considering most have taken my side on the BAF as well as this thread, I’d imagine that wouldn’t be the case. You on the other hand have Atleast already gotten 1 block since you’ve been here. Keep it up pal.
  17. Guess what’s better than having defenses maxed out? Actually not getting hit at all. Which is what happens when you put your pets in the air. Non flying enemies can’t melee you. Even with defenses maxed out, enemies are still strong enough to kill your pets regularly if you don’t maintain them. At no point in the BAF did I actually hinder the teams ability to beat it with GF. On the prisoners section I made sure to keep distance from others just Incase they didn’t turn it off. (Because quite frankly we all lose if the prisoners get away) as for the rest of the BAF, GF doesn’t hinder anyone in any meaningful way. So no, I’m not going to announce my powers every time I team just because someone doesn’t like to float. If you hate floating that much make a point to have turned off just incase. Thats what most of the folks on the BAF had already done. Imagine having to keep a canned message on standby because you have to accommodate someone else’s lazy or forgetfulness because “oh nooooz I’m floating on the tennis courts”. No thanks .
  18. Then please come up with a reasonable scenerio where you would deem these powers as a kickable offense . so far the best case anyone’s been able to make is that KB can slow down map clearing. It’s already been established anyone negatively effected by GF is the fault of the person being negatively impacted.
  19. I’m actually not aware of any circumstance where KB or Group Fly is a kickable offense ever. I stand to be corrected but I’ve never seen these Powers make a team wipe/lose. and sorry but context is king. The context of this thread has always been Group Fly with KB as a side discussion. So yes, when someone’s chiming in about kicking people for not conforming; it’s safe to assume this person has no qualms about kicking someone for the crime of “inconveniencing” another’s playstyle. GF and KB being no exceptions. Until that person actually Specifies what they deem kickable or not, I’ll take their blanket statement as a blanket statement. They are more than welcome to clarify.
  20. It’s not straw-manning when Someone’s making broad statements like “conforming” to team play style and etiquette.” According to what I just read ; anything is fair game to get the boot if he/she doesn’t like what you’re doing. Until they actually specify what actions are Kickable and not , I’ll take their statement at face value, especially when they’re commenting on a thread specifically talking about group fly and KB.
  21. Who defines team etiquette ? The team leader? A majority vote? A few people bitching? Seems to me team etiquette is something that’s largely subjective and yet you’re speaking like there are written rules. Yes there are some blatant things that a person can do to grief the team (aggroing an AV early, purposely sabotaging badge collecting) but you’ll be hard pressed convincing any reasonable player that Group Fly or KB is a kickable offense Or one that severely hinders gameplay. Especially when one can be turned off if players aren’t ignorant. In this OP scenario 2-3 people out of 24 were upset. Roughly 6 people told them to shut up and quit bitching. So based off that experience with this thread; it seems “team etiquette” isn’t leaning to your standards anyway. Of course there is such a thing as team play vs solo play and obviously actions or lack of actions effect the team. But unless they are causing the team to actually fail you are indeed immature for kicking folks for anything less.
  22. Talk about poor analytical skills and a false dichotomy to boot. If people can turn off group fly and don’t, it’s their problem. It’s the equivalent of me swinging my fist, them jumping in the path of it and saying I assaulted them. At that point, they deserved to be ridiculed to discourage then from future idiocy. Which is exactly what I’m doing in the OP.
  23. I had it on most of the time, when it came to the prisoners i turned it off because there is zero benefit since the prisoners don’t attack.
  24. Understand this: Gaps in a players Game knowledge Isn’t anyone’s problem but that players. You don’t get to tell me what powers I can have on/off when you have the power to ignore them. I mean you can but we don’t have to take you seriously at that point.
