UltraAlt

I didn't read the whole thread to check, but I'm assuming this still stacks with reputation - is that correct? I would hope the selection names have a hover-over pop-up that explain what the different settings mean during the selection process.

Security first. That is understood.

Well, that is over exaggerating. When labels are applied, they do cause reactions. I don't report people to the mods unless it is death threats or something else that would be code of content breaking. If ignore was salt, my doctor would tell me to stop using the forums.

Understood. Thanks Well, you're still showing as "newbie" so I will have to take what you have to say with a grain of salt 😜

I'm not against the reaction emotes in general. I'm against the added thumb-up and thumbs-down which I saw removed from various gaming forums several years ago.

Thanks. I apologize for being defensive.

I'd like to see the retention of some uniqueness among the archetypes. I like the fact that comic books were historically very stark in their delineation. I'm not a fan of the "everything is a grey area" I brought up super strength about blasters ... but I known in Seismic on test they can throw boulders at this point and summon meteors, so I guess we are sort of heading that way anyway.

Yes. One of the supergroups that I'm involved with is coalition-ed with 5 other supergroups. I don't know the limit. " A single supergroup can coalition with up to ten other supergroups, forming a coalition of up to eleven." - https://hcwiki.cityofheroes.dev/wiki/Coalition

Yes. Which proves my point. So I have two questions, why was your reply worded as an attack? Did I do something somehow to offend you by posting my opinion? But I guess you have the right to talk down to me because I'm just a "newbie" with 864 posts and a reputation of 546, while you are apparently superior being a "rookie" with 425 posts and a reputation of 206.

I think Spiderman is more of a tank. I agree that Spider-man does have super strength. Not to the degree of Superman, but strength far superior to "moral" men. More of a scrapper? No. He can take far more damage than a scrapper. he can throw around cars if he wanted to. He is more of a tank than a scrapper. Perhaps more of a brute, but that is a villain archetype and the thread is about scrappers gaining a tanker power set. If you give super strength to scrappers then why not give it to stalkers, dominators, and blasters as well? I think this falls into the same area as why scrappers don't have taunt.

People like to ding. I think Forum Badges are a bad idea. It is going to cause a flood of postings simply to achieve badges. It will also create a caste system by labeling the poster openly and obviously so others can make judgement upon them based on the displayed badge. Wasn't displaying the post count enough? There was no judgemental attachment to the number of posts. The badge names obviously imply something by the name chosen. Some "names" obviously have negative connotations. It would be best not to give someone a badge at all versus giving them one that implies a negative connotation. -- I'm going to go ahead and say it at this point. I think adding the thumbs-up and thumbs-down was a bad idea. I wasn't going to say anything, but, since I'm posting about the badges, I might as well say it now. The thumbs-down is just /jranger without a post.

Sure, they could be considered Stalkers, but those were originally villain-only archetypes. (I also figure that Batman et al are using the Stealth pool versus being Assassins) Your point is however noted, and I agree on some levels in regards to some portrayals of the characters more than others. I was trying to prove the point as to why tanks had super strength and scrappers did not. Batman isn't going to grab a hunk of concrete/boulder out of the ground and throw it at someone.

Batman is a scrapper. Superman is a tank.

what is your definition of "the moat badass"? I'm a character conception player, so I'm not sure what you are going for. Doing the most damage? Debuffing? fun?

Roof top to roof top for me.

Incise? You want us to cut you in order to ease your pain?

Okay, I can't deny that if you slot x3 KB in the repel, but still, even so....

Doing things that are disruptive to the rest of the team is only beautiful to the one being disruptive.

So you are confirming that you are down to personal attacks to try to prove something. Okay. Noted.

Why does it make sense? People avoid being on fire or any other kind of damage for that matter. Someone staying in a fire or in an area where they are getting injured is the part that doesn't make sense.
