Plus such gorgeous outdoor imagery and constantly being sent to the sewers.

It took me a little to think out what I would like and reading other peoples input is fabulous. This was about adding a zone not doing something with the zones they have (Kallisti Wharf with more than Market Crash) or ressurecting an old zone (Galaxy City as a hard hazard zone). Airport-Spaceport - You zoom in close enough on the game map that came with the box and you will see a Skyway International Airport. I could see that as a hub zone that had spawn points to "other venues", like gate 3 sends you to Paris or London and you get an instanced zone with a flavored mission. Just add some "beyond the glass" images of the iconic objects (Eiffel Tower, Big Ben) while staying in the city zone. Collect the stamps on your passport (badges) and add whatever enemy you want (new or used). And it can be the launching pad (see what I did there) for a moon base mission or just another general lab skin but called an orbiting space station or whatever. Suburbia - Yeah that one is interesting to me because someone said Nemesis plot and someone said Stepford wives and that works. Maybe the mechanic of shifting alignment could be put into play, you know they are allies then turn. You don't know who is normal or not so at any moment they could turn. That's just the street. Then you could totally go with secret cabal of menace or nemesis plot or magic or whatever. I mentioned the Synthoids from GI Joe, just watch "There's No Place Like Springfield" and not say damn, that's freaking devious, and feel bad for Shipwreck. Refugee Zone - This is one that I have pondered since the release of the Second Rikti War material. The canon says the Traditionalists made peace with us and there is even allusions to establishing diplomatic ties and of course AMA Lore saying that they might have been allies in the fight against the Battalion. But working with what is there, a small pocket where the good Rikti are and are trying to help us (cure the lost, deal with the imported Hydra, stop the Restructurists that are still causing problems). Or if you are RIkti weary we could do it with Praetorians. A whole small zone (not too big) of Praetorians who have no home but still want things to be like home and you have to deal with those entities that are trying to reshape our world to their image vice adapting to it. There are several angles for moral story telling there.

I am onboard with a suburbs of subtle menace. Like the Springfield in the GI Joe world with the Synthoids is actually a freaky episode and sad (at least for Shipwreck).

Betty Betty Nugs - He says he likes your cones.

Here she is and keep in mind there is a Proc in Throw Sand that still works but you can no longer slot in there after Page 4 so I lose it when I respec. And remember there is more than one way to gun, there are others who I am sure have tighter builds. Like I dont have the Performance Shifter Proc in Stamina Data Chunk | Copy & Paste this data into Mids Reborn : Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1723;725;1450;HEX;| |78DA75946B6FD26014C74F69191BC280B131186303C62EBA0D373F81D1A9D10C834| |3E7CBA53A6455020D2D897E15EF1AAF9FC3B7FA51BC256A8CBBD443CF7392B31A1B| |687F3DE739FF73E9D3D6EE6FC43E7DDC3C0B5AFC7CDB749C9D7378769BBDC855D3E| |DF7CC36E011DDB08AF8BBD4EF3811BCCDAB253B5B66A7D5DCAD6EF4CDF64EDD72DC| |6EDBA9B0AFD1B7ED6ECFADD6CC9E6BA1BF66762CBBDF365DABDB8178BDDB6D572F5| |AAD3DD7EAB4A2FE5DC36E3677633E6E364D1BED09BED96DF69C3DCBCE5CB0ADDBD5| |5ABF630D441C941C647A90C59216F09F4BE249033EBC30C013BCAE1B1082A70443F| |08C60189E1354E005C34B8264E5B88C0E50C76BD98055D8626810ACC3358229CCAD| |C9DC1AFCD155EE7D02030E7495FB5057298F0856FC2C087994D1A58C0E5B1C7D435| |72D5C2788C236C114340816E126C134CA84858C57404344EA46400F2B1583200661| |86218269182698830841089FFE889081114CEE7BC670682764C67134C441648CC37| |E48C91E11CC60AF0A0ED87218529D7804132893903209964972509283C6586F9C33| |64596616FB4FC9FE53BC35C6796B64786B64796BCCF1D638C55B2383D5A4858C968| |622472B28E38826E4920958264F8961068B9994539CE429663038278373BE96FF8C| |0FD1503060124BC8CBE03CD468898EC105E1310A7E96C2A0911F349893F053571DF| |D66F84550C2A266E5A06779D0451E7491075DE4F99678BE251E7D16CB2BCBF2CAB8| |173C0F72689F970F601EEE50CF0BD062D863B040ED82BBA0EABE47F001B32CC9012| |DC119342D0E96ACD092148E6159BEBECB10D5D45B36CA1027588504411A83AAB2BC| |2ABCA7CE4EC31B86770C6F09D6E115C36B82EF318035D9FD9A3FD3C1808CE31F156| |FDA007978BE1107B5195888FF5592A81BD2811E8D223E47FF17F1E55FCF1279BE06| |3C58FE15CD9FE3286C6BEA6DAAD0DA6F81B5886AAF8F325C4EE34594E6DD8A060C6| |6D0500F1A1EA6F09B250D8F8286C741C35FCBB5DCE7| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|

Totally had this happen on a Flashback myself.

Before Set IOs I found Energy Blasters to be the best pound for pound fun and fight-wise when there is rhythm (I know the number crunchers can prove otherwise because FIRE but fun isn't a number), but everyone hates knockback and that is part of the core mechanic of Energy. You gotta keep the knockback baby. Someone in these forums occasionally has a quote along the lines of the best form of mitigation is a dead enemy and that is always how a Blaster should think in my opinion. Resistance . . . Defense . . . a Blaster craves not these things. If you move like a pre-IO Blaster needed to do in order to survive, you also learn how to position your cones and steer the enemy with your KB; Energy Torrent herds enemies quite well . I am telling you man, Energy as a primary with the KB not tampered with is awesome fun at range and not super problematic on a team of you are able to maneuver. Or hover up and blast down making it KD anyway. Remember KB takes time off the enemy attack clock, and not just their having to get up. You fling them and the clock is ticking and you can attack. then they land and go through their reset and stand up cycle and you can attack. With KD its fall down and they are in their get up cycle so less time for you to shoot them when they aren't shooting. Also, slamming foes into the geometry, wall sticking and object collision work for you (most of the time); knock a foe into a piece of gear (impaled on an object just like in Commando) and he might go through a constant reset cycle (why cant I pull myself off this pipe in my chest). Of course there are exceptions where you become a PITA member and maybe even a liability (though nowhere near as much as a standard MM with control deficiency). Hess final battle for one. Sewer Trial (though sweeping the catwalks for easy gun access . . . hmmm). And of course the rare time where you blow a dude through the geometry, which from a story standpoint is freaking awesome; I knocked his a$$ into another dimension . . . just like dad always threatened to do to me when I talked back to him . . . but I digress. Now secondary, well that's where it gets tricky because some are Blapperiffic and some are not and you said range was calling you. My original High Beam on Freedom was Energy/Cold, and this was before all of the Homecoming modifications. It worked good for her range but when I rebuilt her on HC I went with Mental Manipulation, which I am having to retool slightly because World of Confusion sucks. But the bottom line for me, from a play standpoint not a power player standpoint, whole lot of fun regardless of the Secondary.

Di Di Guns is my DP/MC and my first real effort at being a Blapper. Tons of fun that hasn't ended even at level 50 with incarnates. She is very well built for Solo Work but also functions fluidly on any type of team. BoS is totally fun and using target macros I often slam in then slam two more times for fun. What is really great is when you have your attack chain good and tight you Bos in, fire off Hail of bullets which gives you a temporary buff to positional defenses, kills most minions then you do Scorpions Tail to sweep stragglers while the buff is up then backflip out and dump Empty Clips and Bullet Rain which generally leaves only a Boss (maybe) to which you BoS in again and then Eagles Claw his butt into the dirt. Its a beautiful bullet ballet that I never tire of seeing. And that's without procs in a variety of things. Set IOs obviously help her shine but there are ZERO Purples in there and she shined without them, just not as vividly Does she die? Sure occasionally, but usually when I am punching way above my paygrade or not paying attention. So many Blapper friendly tools in MC. So Secksi . . . But then again with a name like Di Di, she has to be.

Killer Shrews.

They have Ripsaws! How can you not like a bad guy with a Ripsaw!

I play on Excelsior and went to both Goblins and Pinks. Fun and great design. Got some cool stuff in the treat bag but really, just marveled at the design. Pinks was not really a haunted house per se but beautifully gothic looking space with a glorious cathedral feel. Goblins was a great maze haunted house especially when the Patient Zero Character (Necro MM) is following you around making you feel . . . well creeped out so mission accomplished.

Fair enough.

Oh Yeah was by Yello. Yello did the soundtrack for the Adventures of Ford Fairlane Wayne Newtons was in that.

Don't watch that, watch this! This is the heavy heavy monster sound!

Ugh. I mean Ugly. I mean Ugh . . . ugly. I see these bobblehead looking things and I want to vomit blood.

ICP fans are starting to get lazy.

OMG! That would be freaking awesome!

They are in AP Role Playing Cat Girls.

The Artisimal Mummies are effing relentless in their pursuit which alone is fun as eff. When one is on my hinder I cant help but keep saying "Coin" like the one from Scooby Doo. Coin! Coin!

Still waiting for my M41A Pulse Rifle to be delivered from Hasbro Pulse.

LOL

I don't mean to interrupt but I got a delivery here for some gasoline. It says you ordered the matches separately and are just waiting. I don't know when you are gonna use it but someone needs to sign for it.
