Just to be clear, you're advocating power creep and the further erosion of the existing balance via freeing up the slots we've dedicated to KB->KD enhancements which could then be used to acquire more set bonuses, procs and improving other powers, and removing constraints which currently moderate the overall strength of powers like Tornado and Hurricane, as well as totally obviating the purpose of several powers, such as FF's Repel and Sonic's Repulsion Field, not to mention putting players into a position in which they have to choose between potentially being ostracized, or having to give up critical personal protective powers? Did you forget your coffee this morning?

/jranger means "We've had this conversation more times than can be counted, I've made numerous long, detailed explanatory posts about why I object or consider it to be a questionable idea, but those posts have been ignored and I'm now resorting to just saying 'No'".

Your message was, "Either post my way or don't post at all". I addressed that calmly and patiently. Would you prefer the less polite response?

If you complain because people are "triggering" your pet peeve, the only thing that needs to change is you.

I dislike certain things that people do in the forums. But I'm also aware that complaining about them will just lead to everyone putting me on their /ignore lists and never speaking to me again, or leaving to find a forum where they don't have to put up with me. People are different, and the price of social interaction is tolerance of differences.

Big Trouble in Little China, Galaxy Quest, Slither, Deadpool/Deadpool 2, Zombieland/Zombieland: Double Tap, Planet Terror, The Lego Batman Movie... I'm inclined to include Death to Smoochy, as it's making fun of the entire television industry and going so over the top; and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a spoof on the entire vampire genre; as well as RED and Mr. and Mrs. Smith (the Doug Liman film), which successfully poke at spy films.

How would one go about having one or two powers remain high KB when a character-wide setting neuters all KB? Some people really like having those one or two powers with ridiculously high KB values, to decisively put some distance between them and melee threats (or just for fun, because turning critters into astronauts is fun), but even with maximal slotting for KB, they'd never deal KB with a global setting turning all KB powers to KD. Those "GET OFFA ME NAO, TURDBURGER!" powers would be gutted for their purposes. If this is done for KB, doesn't it also have to be done for Repel and KU? So we'd be turning powers like Telekinesis, Tornado and Hurricane into perfect KD patches? Sounds very power creepy. I have 5 (five!) KB->KD enhancements on my Peacebringer. All of those powers have sufficient Accuracy, Damage, Recharge Reduction and Endurance Reduction, they don't need any more of those attributes, and they don't offer any other compelling use of the extra slot. Three of those powers are six-slotted, the remaining two are five-slotted, and they're all giving significant global bonuses. None of those powers would be "improved" by changing the KB->KD enhancement to something else, so the only value would come from moving them to one or more other powers. That would also constitute significant power creep. Would this result in teams either congregating around Null constantly to ensure that everyone has their KB flag set, or ostracization of players who didn't visit Null (perhaps they forgot, perhaps they didn't know, perhaps they chose not to use it)? If so, then it would be creating problems (plural). A solution that introduces more problems than it resolves is bad solution. This is not the first time this has been proposed, but to date, there have been no attempts to address those additional problems. Until and unless those additional problems are addressed, it's a bad solution.

Hurdle six-slotted with 50++ SOs. After ED. First character when I started playing again 18 months ago... Hurdle three-slotted with 50+5 IOs. You can all stop looking at me with your eyes twitching like that.

They're all drinking Red Bull now. No distance limitation. They're still slower than old people driving, though.

I flipped to a second build as a way to respec a character after running out of free respecs once... that's all I've ever done with that feature.

Come on, people, stop blabbering about C-listers and bench warmers. Squirrel Girl and the Wonder Twins are the real tragic absences.

I haven't seen that particular oddity, but there have been a lot of new AI bugs popping up in the last six months. Enemies in the same group attacking one another when they never did before, Crey Juggernauts aggroing even when they're -10 to the character and too distant to be affected by a damage or Taunt aura, pathing being even worse than it was in the past, reports of pets like PA ignoring enemies, enemies running for the hills and only returning after Thanksgiving dinner and a long nap, Rikti in Crey's Folly doing their absolute best to beat the shit out of HVAC units... a spawn trying to beat up the floor doesn't surprise me at this point.

I hold off on running Montague Castanella's arc until it's well past Lost levels, sometimes waiting until level 50. The Lost are all replaced by Rikti who have a much more diverse color palette (rather than green, green, green and brown, green, oh, look, green), and they speak English (some of those drones are almost poetic).

To aid in the avoidance of being forcibly entered into a combat state by external actions. Combat Jumping and Hover are combat mobility powers. Infiltration is not.

Do the auras appear if you deactivate cel-shading?

Those aren't identical. Shoulders, gloves and boots are different. Test each of the differing costume parts, by matching them precisely to what you know works (change them on the huge model to match the female model), one at a time, to verify that it's not a specific costume piece causing the problem.

The group settles in Brickstown. Swan and Manticore are in Brickstown, so they're tasked as Marauder's nannies.

*sesquipedalian angst*

Since the game is back from the dead, but not truly alive, I think that's a vote for zombie Statesman. Now, where did I put that rabbit army...

I'd team for that.

Here at Lumicorp, we're not evil. Irascible, inappropriately humorous, but never evil. Lumicorp, the megacorp with a shit to give. Two shits if you're nice to our representatives!

Yeah, and where's my goddamn deep dish supreme pizza?!

Resurrect, as Zombie Statesman! Doc V and The Clockwork King team up to dredge his rotting corpse out of whatever hole it's in, re-animate it and send it shambling after Lord Recluse, who subsequently uses his mental network to take control and uses it to launch an assault Ouroboros in hope of discovering a way to break his connection with the Well, but instead, creates a parallel Paragon City in which everyone is a rabbit! Doom bunnies, with deadly hopping powers and mind-bending nose wiggles, bent on domination of the Rogue Isles, invade Grandville, and heroes and villains team up to prevent the bunnification of the entire world!

... Does anyone want to field this one, or should we just cough loudly and give each other sidelong glances while we wait for him to check my post history and put two and two together?
