  1. I definitely see a lot of overtly Christian angel characters hovering around Atlas Park; with names and/or backstories that are draw heavily from theological sources, rather than angelic/demonic superheroes. I've no issue with it, but I do find their abundance a little surprising - I didn't expect it to be sch a popular type of character to want to play as, especially within the CoX setting. Sidenote: the Supergirl you're referring to went on to have a 20 issue DC Comis series called Fallen Angel which I loved back in the day. The character then moved to IDW and had a second, longer series, but I did not like that at all.
  2. What's up with the large amount of characters based on angels/seraphim/fallen angels that I see? I don't remember there being such a significant presence when the game was live, but every third or fourth character I inspect seems to be some kind of angel character - fallen or otherwise. Is there a Biblical RP community Im unaware of? I am genuinely curious; it's not my intention to stoke a theological debate. I play exclusively on Everlasting, which is the primary hub/haven for RP, so my experience my be skewed. Still, I see more theological characters than classic comic book references. What is up with that?
  3. This was really kind of you, thank you so much!!!
  4. Hi all, I've done a few searches but been unable to find a build for this combination of powers. I've next to no experience with Dominators and would really appreciate having a build as a rough guide as I level. Does anyone have one they can share? Even an up-to-date Illusion/X build would be helpful. Many thanks!
  5. I'd love to see Power Proliferation in general. I know it's not feasible, but a boy can dream. I'd happily sacrifice one "standard" power if I could give my character Call Swarm or Call Hawk or whatever as the theme demands. War Mace for Stalkers! Probability Alteration for Controllers. A light based powerset (ala Dr Light) Carnival MM powerset Density Control Poison as a ranged set (Blaster primary) Psychic melee that was all "big fist" animations and not the Focused Totality Of My Psychic Powers. Rogue style power leeching
  6. I presumed this was the logic behind the decision. Though smashing someone across the head with a mace doesn't necessarily need to be a noisy affair. Bashing someone with a mace is a pretty surefire way to go unnoticed. Unnoticed by the person you brained anyway.
  7. Is there a specific reason that War Mace is unavailable to Stalkers? Are we likely to see it someday? I love my WM/DA Scrapper, but I'd love them even more if they were a Stalker.
  8. I do wish there was a way to decline a Contact introduction and still progress with the Contact that wished to make the introduction in the first place. I'm specifcally referring to Jim Temblor, who makes you pick up an old-school Skyway City Contact before introducing Penelope Yin.
  9. I have adopted this playstyle for a very long time, even back when I was playing Live, and played through that same low-level content countless times, for a couple of reasons. I tend to run every character I play on permadeath rules and the low level content (Habashy et al, Twinshit, The Hollows and the Kings Row Skull arc) is a great way to get a feel for if I want to continue playing a character past level 20. Some of those missions are incredibly challenging (the Confront Veles mission where Atta makes an appearance in a cutscene and Talshak's final CoT mission with the Behemoth portals spring to mind) for low level characters too. It's a nice way to get to know a character. I've also got a real thing for fully completing any Contact I'm introduced to. Running those low level missions is incredibly satisfying as it means, by level 20, I've a whole bunch of Contacts with full bars and complete story arcs. Then I can talk to Jim Temblor who will introduce me to my firt old-school Contacts where I have to start freezing my XP gain and really grinding mundane content alongside the Faultline story arc.. I'm definitely considering rolling a "Contactless" character that only runs missions for Contacts you can't avoid (Twinshit, Detectives, etc), just to mix things up, but I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who plays this way!
  10. Oh, I totally missed this. I'll have a read. Thanks so much!
  11. I typically follow @Gulbasaur's excellent Good Missions Guide: A Heroic Levelling Journey through Story Arcs for most of my characters, but I want to explore some alternative levelling methods to keep things interesting. How do you like to level your characters, typically? Do you have a series of well defined methods that you rotate, or one stretegy you employ time and time again? Do you still run through the old-school origin Contacts in City Hall? Are you focused on completing as much content as possible, or teaming with others from Level 1? I'm thinking of running a character that only interatcs with Contacts that you cannot avoid (Twinshot, etc) and levels mostly through Safeguard missions and Task Forces. Maybe. So, yeah, how do you like to level?
  12. Yeah, you're absolutely right. I would be satisfied with the generic Tights/Full option, but I have a specific character in mind for whom this option would be ideal, so am somewhat biased. The same applies to the sneakers too.,
  13. Title says it all; it would be amazing to have a Tights option for the Sneakers and Small Gloves/Small Gloves Pointed costume pieces. Currently the Sneakers costume piece has two variations - Skin and Socks. Both Small Glove costume pieces show a significant amount of skin from elbow to wrist. It would be amazing if there were a Full or Tights option that allowed these costume pieces to instead have traditional spandex all the way to the ankle/wrist.
  14. I've a concept I was thinking of rolling as a Dark/Sonic Blaster. I've not really played a Blaster before at any great length, so thought I'd see if this powerset combo had been discussed previously. As far as I can tell, it hasn't. Not on these forums anyway. Is the Dark/Sonic coupling inherently bad, or is there a viable build in there somewhere? What kind of playstyle would it require? Does anyone play as one?
  15. Thank you for such a thoughtful response - this is all really helpful information. I've done exactly as your friend did and followed that end-game build from L1. The biggest hurdle I'm facing so far is my lack of attacks, With regards to which powers to choose and when to choose them, do you have any advice? No worries if not, I'm already very grateful for your input!
