I am glad for you that they are your ex.

I guess this really isn't the thread for this, but about teleport pool .... Honestly, I get the teleport pool for a large number of my characters simply for recall target which I mainly use for teammates. I agree that teleport needed some kind of "active teleport mode" that keep you in motionless hover until you turned it off. In that state, you could then teleport and/or stay in the air until you turned off the "active teleport mode". The temporary hover addition before the sunset was a bit of a fix, but I always ended up getting hover on my characters had teleport as the main teleport power. All the travel powers have an "active mode" (you toggle them on and they are active until you turned it off), don't they? So why was teleport left out of that mix? I wonder.... ...and how hard would it be to implement that? (would people with that power pool even want that?) I'm assuming mystic flight already has the mechanics for the built in flight endurance use and then the additional endurance use when the teleport is triggered.

The player that created them. It's self-gratification. They need to feel self important to the level that they feel; 1) They were invincible, superior, etc. to all other characters, 2) they are flawless, perfect, etc., and that 3) all others should bow down and recognize their absolute superiority. Honestly, I feel sorry for them.

Seems to be.

Here we go. A couple of players that feel that other people can't have their point of view. From time to time that can be expected. I've dealt with this problem on my end. I won't be engaging them any more. To those few, look around at who is supporting you. I don't need to get posts in the forums to back me up that fighting giant monsters as fun, because, when the call goes out in game to fight giant monsters, players join the teams. Are some merely fighting Giant monsters for the merits? Sure. However, it seems to me that they players on the team are having fun. Generally, once the first monster is down, the call goes out asking if we are going to go hunt some more, because the players that I'm gaming with in THE CITY enjoy fighting giant monsters. The thread has devolved into simply telling me that I'm wrong about my view point. I'm not.

You haven't read the rest of the thread then.

I have to say, these forums make no sense some times. "I like fighting giant monsters" "It's no fun fighting giant monsters there is power creep" "There are ways to avoid the power creep. I like fighting giant monsters" "There is power creep. giant monsters are meaningless" "I like fighting giant monsters. The teams that I run with fighting giant monsters are fun to game with and the monsters aren't going down fast" "You don't understand." "I think you don't understand. I like fighting giant monsters." "You don't understand. You can't have fun fighting giant monsters because of power creep" Seriously. That's the argument against me enjoying fighting giant monsters. That I can't enjoy it because of power creep. Well, guess what, if you can't figure it out. If I enjoy doing it, then it is fun for me. If you don't like it, then you have no say in me enjoying it. To continue telling me that I can't enjoy fighting giant monsters is jaded and self-centered based on your own opinions - and it has nothing to do with "the point" - which is "I enjoy fighting Giant Monsters."

I agree. The only way you are likely to get feedback is if people see the thread. As soon as the back-and-forth between us ends, the thread will fall off of everyone's radar entirely.

It's okay. You can be jaded. You don't need to understand.

I understand that entirely, but I think we need to take into account what level your character would need to be in order to get it. It would be level 20 at least. The character would have access to 12 powers at that point. If you are blowing-off he game and going directly to level 50 the level where you gain powers isn't as important as it is when you are picking powers as you level. Well that is my point, I think that the AoE defense is more of a "in close" defense as opposed to ranged defense. That damage is going to affect your character. If your character can't defense against or resist the damage you get the full brunt of it. I definitely think I would be getting combat jumping with this archetype for some extra defense as it is. If you simply switch the Ranged and AoE armor, it changes the dynamic of play. You alway want to be in melee range, so the tactic is to close until your character can slot the ranged armor.

Am I allowed to say it? I don't think I'm allowed in these forums to say it. I'm saying it as politely as I can. You and others are clearly missing my point. I enjoy fighting giant monsters. I haven't experience the issue with level 50's ruining the fun that 1 (one) player has stated and you seem to be backing. Avoid level 50's and the game can be a challenge. Your character doesn't have to be level 50. You don't have to team with level 50s. At an rate, if I Giant monster is on-par with all characters then they should be able to stand on equal footing with these highly advanced level 50's. (Maybe the DEVs need to look into that) Perhaps 50's need to be stripped of their incarnate powers when in a zone with a giant monster? Level 50's shouldn't ruin the fun of Giant Monsters for other players. That being said, I've seen level 50's go out of their way to ruin the fun of other players far too many times. The more populated the server, the more obnoxious level 50's I run into. These players join a team - not to team up-, but simply to show the rest of the players on the team that they don't need the rest of the team. That's my experience; your's may differ. Is their power-creep? Power-creep happens in any game where characters don't have a set group of skills, powers, move, etc. that never change (aka characters don't level-up). There is power-creep in the lower levels as well as in the end-game. I remember - long before the sunset - when I had characters that didn't have enough influence to fully slot even training enhances in the mid teen levels. Now I can slot SO's at very low levels (how low? I'm not sure if they go below level 5.) That itself is power-creep, but that doesn't ruin the fun of a good Giant monster battle. I have played on many monster hunting teams. Sometimes the battles ended quicker than others, but none of them were simply the fight starts and the giant monster falls. In the Winter Lord event, there was no super fast downing of the Winter Lord and his guardians. They were fun battles and these were leagues. I think some players are so blinded and jaded by the end-game that that they don't realize that the game is from level 1-50. Level 50 is where the game end and the end-game begins. Stuff was tacked onto the end of the game to keep those players that only wanted to grind something to grind toward and for. You don't have to have level 50's to fight giant monsters. If there are too many high level 50's on a server that are ruining the fun of giant monster fighting, then there are lower population servers were you are less likely to see players exhibiting that behavior. Fighting giant monsters is fun - at least for me - and I refuse to believe that fighting giant monsters isn't fun for other players as well. Hopefully, I won't get in trouble with the GMs. People can play how they want. Players that ruin other players fun are no fun to play with.

Maybe try playing on a lower population server.

I'm looking at the armor set-up. If this is Archetype is supposed to be in the thick of it and the ranged attacks are more for entering melee range or chasing down runners, then I think the AoE armor needs to be lower in the list and maybe even before the ranged defense. You don't want to be hip-deep in a melee near a tank and get hit with the splash from all the AoE's hitting the tank.

uh. there is an On demand part. check out https://pluto.tv/en/on-demand/movies/5bc8ad8e60d90d9795a0ce0e/details But if you want Super Sentai, Ultraman and Kamen Rider, then Shout has that on demand https://shoutfactorytv.com/tv/tokushoutsu Of course, you could just kick back with some Gerry Anderson https://shoutfactorytv.com/tv/gerry-anderson-collection and Shout does have it's live channels https://shoutfactorytv.com/live-channels I haven't really bothered with the Pluto TV yet, I don't know if it has commercials like Shout or the CW app have. But when it comes down to it, I'm too busy with City of Heroes when I'm down in front of a video screen these days... in the game or here in the forums. I figured I'd shill for the other guys.

This would be abused in the AE.

/e sigh Use it, but don't over use it. I wouldn't slot it in any more than 3 powers A fast recharge low damage power, an AoE, and maybe a PBAoE (ground zero) ... but never in a high damage power. You can slot debuff enhancements and they go a long way as well.

bah. I love a good Giant Monster bounty hunting team. If the power creep is so bad, try not playing a level 50 and slot up with SO's and see if you get a challenge out of it or not.

Maybe donating to the Holiday events? Buying card packs? Giving Influence or items to random players? Buying P2W powers?! Helping out your sg mates? What are those dojiggies ...prismatic aether or something like that? You can already buy them with influence. They are already in the game and when you add thing to the game for people to spend money on it takes it out of the game economy and those that don't have simply feel like they have even less because they can't get those things. Just leave it alone. .... but I will say being able to turn into a giant monster and attack the City when there are a certain number of players in a zone (even if it limited to the highest level zones or when there are over 200 people on the server at the time) would be fun for the player and for those fighting against the giant monster player. I used to love the big battle where the DEVs would control giant monsters and hundreds of players would be fighting them (well, maybe not hundreds, but it seemed like that) No rewards on either side. Just a kaiju slugfest. heroes versus giant monsters.

I guess Wendigo is more of a tank and maybe more savage at any rate I guess Sabretooth is more a tank as well but more debatable if he is savage versus claws Vega? Definitely a claws scrapper. Timber Wolf? Definitely a scrapper, but maybe more savage? Black Panther is definitely a claws scrapper. I think Hellcat is more claws than savage as well. catwoman? Probably a stalker ... but savage or claws? From Shogun Assassin (aka Lone Wolf with Cub aka the Baby Cart series) Devilman! Definitely a claws scrapper. err...well.... Freddy Krueger? Santa Claws is just over done from my point of view So retro ...and ninjas probably should be stalkers, but I have some ninja that are scrappers

Thanks for the quote. I still have to ask where this data is coming from. I know that I wasn't polled about it.

quote it. I'm waiting. What is "a lot"?

Honestly, I think you should be able to set your flypose at the tailor the same way you can set a running pose. From my own game experience, I have never had more than 1 power in the pop-up tray.

So basically the related scrapper secondary set T9?
