Bit of a dump here since it's been a while since I've posted. A couple of the names I was surprised to grab on Everlasting. Dharla Dhark - Dark/Temporal Blaster Distortion Bot - Gravity/Aresenal Dom Electric Eellie - Electric/Marine Troller Frigid Waters - Ice/Marine Troller Neon Nelly - STJ/Shield Brute Tide Break - Seismic/Marine Corr Zanthia the Merc - Merc/Thermal MM Ocean Waif - Necro/Marine MM

MN is Minnesota. Sorry, Seraphim beat me to it. 😅

Oh derp, I forgot what the date for next weekend is; we're having a yard sale that day so I won't be able to make it to TT. Happy hunting to you all!

I am hoping to be there on Sea Demoness - Demons/Marine MM

Please list me as a maybe TBD; I'm hoping nothing comes up for this weekend, but not sure which blaster to bring. If I can't level one of my others in time, I'll try to be on Ruff Ruff Boom - AR/Dev Blaster

It was just the first thing I can think of when I saw the zombies mentioned lol. They're technically gender neutral just by the nature of what they are. But I did forget to mention I'm in support of the OP's idea for the other ones. I'm not sure that the harem/pimp argument against this holds a lot of merit given that reverse harems and female pimps are a thing as well. And again, zombies are gender neutral, so necrophilia arguments don't really work either.

And as noted in beta, this power does not animate in the costume creator either.

Technically zombies are gender neutral as the breasts would have rotted away

I need to grab a better angle of it, but yeah, kinda, lol. On the right hand which is down by the waist.

Interesting... So it animates in game then? Because Tide Pool has no animation at all inside of the costume creator (it occasionally animates using whichever power you clicked on before hand, but otherwise defaults to standing there and the water pooling at your hip before appearing on the ground). I had so little time to actually play during the beta that I did not try to see if my character was animating this power (I just assumed it wasn't based on the costume creator). Thanks for pointing this out as I will be looking for it moreso now when I can play. Since you mentioned it seems to be bugged for combat, I wonder if that's why it doesn't work in the costume creator then. I still don't understand why this wasn't looked at in beta when we caught it and why it shipped out live this way. I appreciate you correcting me on this though as it means maybe someone (myself included) can get better videos or something of the wonky behavior for the devs so they can fix this issue.

I'm really excited for next month's themes! I want to give others a chance to see this before I come back and sign up though, especially since this first theme was one of my ideas. 😄 Thanks for putting this together @FrauleinMental!

I grabbed one pic before we started, but forgot to take in mish pics since I was busy having fun tanking. 😂

Marine Affinity is shockingly good at keeping up the MM's end bar thanks to Toroidal Bubble.

I second this choice; one of my favorite blasters to play.

I know what you're getting at here, lol. But in all seriousness, a powerset shipping to live completely lacking an animation for one of the core powers seems a bit unacceptable. I know it's a volunteer team and all that, but it's not like they can't say this wasn't caught and found in beta. And of all the feedback to ignore, why would you ignore a power completely lacking an animation?

This exact question already exists:

I still don't understand how this made it to live with no animation. It was even mentioned multiple times in the focused feedback thread for Marine Affinity, and I posted a video showing it having no cast animation.

Just as a reminder, it's Thursday and only 2 people have signed up for Saturday's TF 🙂

General consensus from the beta was that Shoal Rush and/or Brine are skippable powers in Marine right now. If you take white cap, then shoal rush can be skipped as you can use whitecap to trigger frenzy. Shoal Rush can be worth taking for folks who want to throw procs in it, though.

In regards to the OP, from the limited amounts I was able to test the set in beta, I like Marine on controllers and MM's best. Necro/Marine is some pretty ridiculous fun, imo, and Dark on a controller was feeling pretty good as well.

Did Tide Pool finally get a proper animation before this went live?

In the context of CoH, beasts are still perfectly fine and fun to play, they just happen to sit at the bottom of the damage tier now that the lesser primaries got reworked. Everyone's always gonna have sets they gel with and sets they don't. 🙂 To not keep derailing: Beasts work with just about any secondary, there's been a lot of good suggestions in this thread. I do recommend trying them with kinetics if you want a wild and chaotic ride lol. I think the new Marine Affinity might make a good pairing with them too. In regard to ninjas, they saw a nice rework recently that helped them out a lot. These guys tend to be on the squishier side, so pair nicely with secondaries that offer them ways to stay upright. I don't have a high level ninja MM yet, so I'm not sure of specific ideas. I feel like storm would be fun. I have a ninja/nature that seems enjoyable so far as a baby. I also have a ninja/cold, but I'm undecided if I like that combo yet.

I agree that repeating themes can actually be really fun! We could even pop back in to the beginning of the thread to see about refreshing those ideas. 🙂 Some random ideas came to me, so throwing them out in case we want to use them for the future. Some are repeats or twists on repeats. One thing that comes to mind is twisted Robin Hood - steals from the poor to give to the rich or some variation of that (evil Robin Hood basically). Or even Robin Hood with guns instead of a bow and arrow. Plants! Make some sort of plant-based costume/have plant powers (e.g., I've seen some uber creative variations of people being a pumpkin, tree, etc.) Since it's the middle of summer: Melting Away - At least one fire power and costume that reflects the summer heat (thinking like, you look like you're melting, bikinis, etc) Follow the leader - First person to sign up sets the (you choose here whether it's just the AT, AT & powers, just the powers, etc) for the rest of the group I think we've done this before, but always a good one is Going to the Movies - Dress up as your favorite movie character Twist on the above: We're in a movie - Pick a movie theme and we dress up as actors for that theme. Game of Heroes/Villains: CoX villain/hero groups costumes And, that's all I've got for now, lol

After many of the updates that have been done, beasts are *technically* the current worst of the MM primaries. Doesn't mean they're not serviceable or won't arrest mobs or whatever.

I see we are to a release candidate but Tide Pool is still lacking a proper animation.
