Because power sets are built on themes. If you want smaller rocks/crystals/lava clumps? Sure. If you want more human-looking rock/crystal/lava appearances? Sure. If you want to strip out a set's identity/theme? No. Stone Armor is called that because its defenses are based on the character either being stone or using stone as protection. If you don't want a stone/crystal/lava appearance? Then don't use Stone Armor. Minimal FX for Stone Armor is one thing. No FX for Stone Armor is something else entirely.

I think you are misunderstanding the point of my comment. As I said, I am not against the OP. (As long as it is an opt in option.) I'm not even against people using globals as a means of screening who they play with. If you enjoy playing with people, play with them. If you don't, then don't. What I have a problem with is the ignoring people you don't know for doing something you are interested in doing because it is someone you don't know. Give others a chance. (And by you, I don't mean you specifically. It is the generic you.)

I'm fine with a gendered appearance option for Granite Armor. That falls under more rock/crystal/lava appearance options. Not every character that armors up... erm... stones up?... needs to look like a DE monster.

Meh. Difference in play style. The first thing I do on a new character, after editing my chat tabs, so the 2nd thing, is I move my various powers and macros, including any START powers, between my 3 or 4 trays. So my tray 1 starts out empty except for 2 powers, whatever my primary and secondary are. Everything else is split on trays 2-4 depending on what they are or are for.

And here is the problem I have with this post. If you are interested in the advertised TF/SF, then you should be willing to join said TF/SF unless you know the person advertising is someone you did not previously enjoy being with. Otherwise, you are excluding a lot of potentially great leaders that you would enjoy playing with just because that person is not someone you already know you enjoy playing with. So while I am not against the OP as long as it is an option that must be turned on, not turned off from default on, I very much disagree with the reasoning you provided.

I'm sitting her wondering how a player can have all 10 slots in tray 1 filled before reaching level 2....

I've gotten in the habit of not closing with spawns that hold a hostage even if the hostage cons white or blue. I always pull the guards to me. (Mostly because of that one tip mission where you have to rescue three heroes who all have 1 HP and die if the Freakshow anywhere in the area use an AoE anywhere near them.) While not ideal, it is something you can do to avoid getting her killed. And yes, this even works for melee characters. Just make sure you have a decently ranged attack or taunt to pull with.

I don't know anything about Fortnite, so kinda hard to agree with the post. There is a comment I keep wanting to make about just make it so our characters can launch all missions including TFs through the phone so they never have to leave their initial spawn point, which is meant sarcastically so please don't crucify me, but beyond explaining the comment, the nature of the comment would likely get me warnings or even blocked from the forums for a while.

Oh. Yeah, the Ascendants got added later. About the same time as the sonic soldiers if I recall correctly.

Make the input cursor dark grey or black and call it good. That should help.

No, it was the 5th Column that got an incarnate update, not the Council. Archons already existed in the game before the Council got sonic attacks.

But it's already and option, people can opt to install it, or not. And like Mids, it is a pinned thread on the Tools, Utilities, and Downloads forum. So it isn't difficult to find. So yeah, I'm against the OP on this too. It's like mandatory Patrol XP. You can't just shove something you think is good down other players' throats because not everyone plays the same or likes the same things. Vidiotmaps is made available to players on the forums, so if they want to use it, they already have the option to. If they don't, then don't force them to.

That's the point of SG storage. SG members can put things in and SG members can take things out. It is meant as communal use. If you want things kept just for your character, I recommend e-mailing the item to yourself until you're ready to use it. Or have a SG just for that character/account.

Uhm... you can't choose to betray Dr. Hetzfeld to Calvin Scott because you already betray him as part of his story arc. Or rather, he betrays you.

I'm for more options, but you are conflating Superman's invulnerability with Stone Armor. If you want alternate stone/crystal/lava appearances for your Stone Armor character? I'm for it. Taking away the stone though in any form? No, it is stone armor. It should have at least some stone effects for its powers.

I very much oppose this. Even when those abilities frustrate me because enemies go unkillable. Because it is the only thing keeping mobs anywhere near players for capability.

Haven't played my Sentinel in a while. Using my Dominator as a reference though? Yeah, it feels like there is no reason to use my non-attack abilities outside of EBs, AVs, and GMs. My MMs on the other hand? I tend to use debuffs like Tar Patch frequently because it isn't tied to a target.

My point is that I'm pretty sure they can't do it.

Maybe they thought the team was wiping out spawns faster than the added click to debuff would matter. (Edit: I know that's why I don't typically bother with my mezzes on my Dominator when teamed with my friends. By the time I've finished animating the Hold on the boss, the boss has already died. Why bother doing anything other than just attacking at that point?)

It's been a while since I last played through gold side, but I'm pretty sure that isn't the case. While yes, there are missions that launch through the contact as if the contact was a door, which red side and blue side also get, most missions have you go to an actual door. (Edit: And gold side doesn't have TFs anyway.)

Depending on what you are asking for, we won't be getting any whip attacks because they don't work in the game. That's why Demon Summoning's whip attacks are whip blasts instead.

I think it's a general Confuse not always working thing. I managed to confuse Silver Mantis in a mission, purple spots and all, and she still killed me. (Edit: I should clarify that she did turn and kill her escorts, she just also killed me. And I know it wasn't the escorts that did because the 1st thing I did was a mass Hold, and I got all the supporting mobs with it.)

They're found pretty much everywhere you find level 36+ Council. I've been fighting them in paper missions as I try for the next mayhem mission badge.

I don't think any other KB protection power has enhance-able KB protection.

As per the screenshot in the OP, what it is enhancing is the 2 points of enhance-able KB protection. So the KB enhancement enhanced the 2 points of KB protection to 2.66 points of KB protection. Edit: As for why it doesn't take KB sets? (Because it does take KB IOs.) My guess is because the sets also enhance damage and accuracy, two things that don't apply to Acrobatics. Edit again: And as for why it accepts KB enhancements at all? Because it has 2 points of KB protection that can be enhanced and there isn't a separate enhancement type for KB protection. So yes, it does have a KB component to enhance, it just happens to be a negative value component.
