We don't need that kind of power creep.

Liefeld's working for DC again? OH SHIT, YOU CAN'T SEE HER FEET! IT'S TRUE!

If he gives away his stuff, he won't be able to keep playing until his next "I quit" thread. Come on, man, logic!

The HC team can't cater to everyone's specific wants and interests, nor should they. If they did, this game wouldn't be anything like what we're playing now, it'd be an unbalanced mess or so thoroughly homogenized that the only differences between any sets would be the colors players selected. They have to look at the big picture, do what's best for the game, for game balance, for the most players at any given time. If they didn't care, they never would've started these servers, invited people to play on them, dedicated their free time to fixing bugs/creating new things/evening out the performance gaps between sets, spent five years pursuing a licensing agreement with NC, etc. If they didn't care, they would've thrown the gates open to suggestions and turned this game into a parody of what it was in the old days. If they didn't care, they wouldn't be here for you to insult and whine about. If they wanted either, they wouldn't be here. Not a single one of them has made one penny off of the players. You can check that for yourself, there's a forum for Finances & Donations and they're 100% up front about how the donations are spent. The money donated keeps the game online, and it's exactly that, donated. They've never asked for nor accepted money for the work or time they've invested in the game. Payments are compensation for goods or services rendered. Donations are charitable contributions without goods or services required as compensation.

Loudly, rapidly and conclusively.

Much more fun this way.

"... jella boom." "Boom, yeah. I understand boom." "Bada boom." "Big." "Big!" "Big bada boom." "Big. Bada big boom. Big! Boom!" "Yeah, big bada boom." "Bada boom." "Big. Boom, big bada boom."

Or type a GM's name, like @GM Crumpet or @GM Tock and ask for the thread to be moved.

This is my forum power.

They don't work for us. They don't "serve" anyone. They aren't an elected body, they're not on salary, they don't work from a list of directives compiled by others. They're not our employees. Don't be a douche.

Malta are still attacking you after you quit playing? Damn, them's some evil mofos.

It works on other NPC allies. It's bugged (for Frostfire and Miss Thystle, that is).

In the Miss Thystle's Plea level 50 Hero tip, Miss Thystle and Frostfire are friendlies who have to be rescued from Nemesis troops. After rescuing them, trying to use Grant Invisibility on them (tested on both) fails with "Invalid Target".

Turn left, save The Doctor! TURN LEFT!

You should ask a GM to move this thread to https://forums.homecomingservers.com/forum/12-help-amp-support/ for troubleshooting the crashes.

I always have something specific in mind... and it always changes. I've reached the point of just poking around until I find one costume piece that I want to use, then building around that. As I level up, I refine the look, and if it's a character that makes it to 50+, I'm usually satisfied with the result. It's good for finding combinations of costume parts that I wasn't thinking about. But I've clicked that thing tens of thousands of times, only kept one costume that it created (pointy ears, gas mask, wings, monstrous legs, everything black and dark orange, damn thing looks like a bat. the costume creator randomly crapped out a bat).

The first half of the general dislike of KM is Power Siphon. The +Damage has to be built up with attacks, and the attacks have to hit. If you miss, no +Damage. There's no benefit if you use your highest damage attack(s) immediately (if you use Concentrated Strike right away after popping Power Siphon, it hits for exactly the same damage it would have dealt if you hadn't used Power Siphon first). Stacking +Damage buffs works well as a Follow Up power because it can be used frequently to rack up a large buff and maintain it, but Power Siphon's base 120s recharge time and the necessity of using all of the lowest damage, shortest animation time attacks makes it feel restrictive. Which leads to the second part: critting with Concentrated Strike doesn't deal crit damage, it recharges Power Siphon instantly. You invest time into charging up, and there's no big whammy, just a 20% chance to keep the +Damage buffs rolling. Since players are using the lowest damage attacks to rack up the +Damage, an overall lower performance feeling has developed. A fully empowered Crushing Uppercut (Street Justice) can deal over 1300 damage when it crits (combo level 3, and the player can do that just by activating Combat Readiness. In contrast, Concentrated Strike requires at least 6.2s to fully empower and only deals ~850 damage. KM isn't bad. Giving KM a stacking +Damage buff wasn't a new or unique design, other sets have stacking +Damage buffs (Claws and Dual Blades) and they're quite well liked. Power Siphon is bad. The only problem with KM is that Power Siphon gates the set's potential behind a 120s recharge time and steals Concentrated Strike's crit potential as a balance measure. If Power Siphon granted 3 stacks when it was activated, or didn't replace the T9's crit, it would be up to par for most players, as evidenced by the common remark that the stalker version is better. I like my KM/Willpower scrapper, but I don't like Power Siphon.

Reset your power colors to default.

It's a typo. It was supposed to be Snark Week. Extra merits for anyone who managed to keep @Snarky on a team for a full TF. It's going to be a bad week for the ol' Snarkster. 😁

Silent Blade and your doppelganger in tips do it. That's why I always murder them if it's an option. Violating my personal space is a no-no of the highest order.

They're all programmed to emulate cats. Think about that.

So... this is an archetype which summons... henches which con as enemies... and attack you instead of what you're fighting... unless you whup their asses and make them obey... OH MY GOD, IT'S THE DRAMA QUEEN ARCHETYPE!
