Petrograd

This is an *extremely* niche issue and not a big deal, but for Dark Armor animations in the style Soul Noir with Eyes (Cover of Darkness and a few other powers), if I'm wearing a Prismatic Aether costume (specifically Freakshow Rikti Tank, haven't tested others), when you change zones the glowing eyes disappear. If I turn the aether costume off and on again they come back. So far this only seems to happen with the aether costume equipped. Images in spoilers.

Ended up going Dark/Dark, thought I'd share.

Hey folks, appreciate the feedback! I realized I could use the Beta server to test out different versions and even see how the powers look up to 50, and thought I would share my results. For a normal Freakshow tank (claw and hammer): - Super Strength is closest to the original feel, very chunky. It also has the boulder throw I think they use. - Energy Melee has similar animations to Super Strength and a bit more variety, so it works out well. - Claws is a good alternative if you want the powers to look a little more aggressive. The Widow claws are small enough that they're mostly hidden inside the costume. - Electric Melee is ok if you like its animations, its just not as brutal-looking as the other sets. - I wasn't too happy with Savage Melee, it made the most sense on paper but in practice the hunched over posture and the speed of the swings just look a little goofy on the tank model. For the Freakshow Rikti Tank (Freakshow tank but with a Rikti sword and blaster as arms), I tried all of the above plus Psychic Blade, Electric Melee, Energy Melee, and Dark Melee: - Dark Melee (tinted green) had the most Rikti-weapon-ish feel, plus it gives you a lot of green glows when you use drains, which feels kinda Rikti-ish. - Psychic (tinted green) was a decent alternative, the animations don't line up perfectly but it does look like you're cutting loose with plasma. - For Energy Melee the animations don't really line up with the weapons. - Electric was again OK, just not exactly on point. I also think there's a lot of potential to play this as a blaster/sentinel with the arm-gun, but I'm a bit too lazy to try out different blaster sets, at least tonight. Edit: There's also a Freakshow Noise Tank costume (speakers on head, two sickle hands), didn't consciously test it but I'm betting claws would look good. I also tried different armors (Electric, Dark, and Regeneration), and they're all... fine? Electric makes a the most sense, but I really want to run a set with a self-rez, which I guess is Dark, Firey, Regeneration or Willpower. Last thought, I recommend changing your Inherent costume stance to Parkour, Blitz, or (if you're feeling sassy) Ninja. The normal run animation looks a little silly on the tank.

Hey folks. With Prismatic Aether costumes being a thing, I thought it might be fun to play as a Freakshow tank, just leave the costume on at all times. I was wondering if anyone had tried this before, and if you had advice for what melee power set looks good with the basic tank or Rikti tank costumes. I thought Savage Melee made the most sense, but when I made a char and put on the Tank costume it looked kinda... floppy. I'm kinda reluctant to roll a bunch of chars and waste 10 aether on each one to find out what looks good.

Thank you all, this is very helpful! Are there any powers in gravity that are skippable, in your opinion? I feel like I don't use Crush or Crushing Field much (my single-target rotation is Gravity Distortion, Lift, and Propel, and multitarget I'm usually dropping traps), and I feel like I don't really understand how to use Dimension Shift.

Hey folks, I recently made my first troller, a Grav/Traps, and without much thought I've taken nearly every power in both sets. I was wondering what y'all thought were the key/best powers, or how you generally play this combo if you do. As a side note, I've noticed that when I Wormhole enemies onto my traps, Singularity has a bad habit of blowing them all away before the mines go off. I'm considering slotting a KB->Knockdown into Singularity, but I also like not dying from stacks of melee enemies, so I'm a bit torn. Do y'all think it's worth slotting KB->KD, or would that even work? Edit: Also, what Pool powers or Epic powers are worth taking? Thanks.

I really enjoy making bedrooms for my characters, it kinda lets you play more with character after the costume and ID. I thought I'd share mine, and see if anyone else has this habit. Greta Gobbo is an anarchist fae goblin who likes pretty dresses, so she took over a bunk in the barracks. Need to put the loot somewhere. Geigeress is a Xenomor... I mean Warshade, also in the barracks, her bunk isn't exactly typical. Then I've got several Mutalorians, they're from bunkers in a Hamidon world so they're used to snug quarters. Oouod likes to preserve mutated life and forge armor. Perge Sequar is a flighty teen with a gunsmithing habit, so of course his room is a sty. Oxidist is an ex-Hamidon entity made of living thermite, so for everyone's safety he has to chill out. How about y'all, anyone else make homes for their folks?

Thank you very much for the adjustments!! (Oops on the +Absorb proc, I have it on the char but misclicked in mids XD) All this is very helpful! I saw on another build that you went Sorcery for Rune of Protection. Do you think it would be worth it to have that instead of Elude if I took Mystic Flight as a travel power, or do you think the tweaks you gave above are enough without the 3-power dip sorcery takes?

Here's a few I'm fairly proud of. Petrograd, my good old blaster from live. Sameowri, my latest toon. Gretta Gobbo, my titan weapons scrapper (without all the bio gunk on). Oouod, a weirdo. Speaking of weird, I'm slightly obsessed with making headless costumes work...

Hey folks, I was hoping to get some feedback on an SR/Katana tank build. A few factoids: - This is for casual soloing and mishing with friends. It would be nice to be able to solo some AVs, but I'm not out here running TFs on max settings. - I have very little idea what I'm doing. This was frankensteined together from a few Spaghetti Betty builds on the forum. 🙂 - I'm running so many Reactive Defenses because Shield Wall is very pricey. I'll probably switch over as recipe drops and influence allow. I haven't even bought all the Winter and ATOs in this one yet. - I know it's probably silly to be running so many Energy Mastery powers, but it didn't seem like I was missing a lot from the alternatives I could've taken? (Hasten, maybe Sorcery? *shrug*) If I'm missing something important because of this, I'd appreciate knowing. I'm happy with the prestige jetboard for travel. - Right now I'm running Vigor Core and Ageless Destiny.

Here's Alton Southern (Mercenaries/FF) when he's being subtle and, just for fun, not-so-subtle.

I'm pretty happy with this commercial kitchen I've been working on. Lot's of 5th Column servers/etc under tech for the boxy parts. The controls for the oven are a 5th column terminal. Pots are unlit large floodlights, grill top and wall panels are all stall walls, inverted wastebaskets for burners, "spoon" in the pot is a surgical light arm. "Noodles" on the grill are a rock. The big grill pit has a fire pit, garden wall, a grating, and an inverted barbecue lid. I'm particularly pleased with the deep-fryer, using trash bins, test tube racks, bathwater (not the best color but it works) and street sparks.

I'm working on a traditional base (not much below or above for now) and would like to have one room looking out across a body of water. The room is on the very outside of the map grid. Is it possible to make one room's wall transparent?
