Cross punch is a decent power if you've got both boxing and kick, even if you don't use either of them in an attack chain

Titan weapon has 5 bludgeoning weapons, 8 swords, and 2 axes but it deals only smashing damage. I think it's fair to say that if we can ignore that Excalibur and minotaur axes don't deal lethal, or the things like the fire & ice sword don't deal an appropriate element or the plasma blade, PX-17N, or VK-99 don't deal energy damage, we should be able to suspend our disbelief on other things in dual blades. Lets also not ignore that Battle Axe has a flaming axe and that Romulus's nictus axe, and both still deal only lethal damage. And the recent addition of crossbows to dual pistols despite them still making bang bang bullet noises instead of shooting arrows has not affected anyone's fun. So open the dual blades floodgates already. Let us swing more axes (and shovels), throw in some war mace options, maybe even scale down some of the titan weapons. some other options: gabriel's hammer temp power sledge hammer, some of the weapons on display on the black market and base item trophy cases and even magic wands like the blackstaff from START vendor and the original one you can get from croatoa.

This. Exactly this. The sets that have damage auras have them because it suits them. Fire burns, ice freezes, electric shocks, and bio armor specifically interact with the environment of the user. What would be the justification for a damage aura for stone armor? Sweating stone bullets or erupting lava? Why would super reflexes damage someone else because you are evading them? Willpower, despite what it sounds like, is not psionic armor.....it shouldn't poke people with psi dmg. The sets without a damage aura typically get something else in exchange. Invulnerability, for example, has its taunt aura on Invincibility which ramps up your +DEF when you are surrounded by foes. If they gave it some kind of damage aura, they would have to take something away, probably some of that DEF bonus. No thanks.

Yeah, it sucks that he's relegated to that little corner of AP now while Liberty stands prominently in her original spot and IP after having taken over Statesman's TF. It is a damned shame how he got treated, losing his zone and sharing a zone from a distant corner

Yeah that definitely sucked hard

It's the violent expulsion that is cause for concern. That's not normal and indicates a weak stomach. Of course, maybe I shouldn't judge.....my iron stomach transcends that of you mere mortals.

Ya'll got some weak stomachs if you can't handle Taco Bell.

Notethat there is a slight exception to the diminishing returns issue once you achieve Incarnate status and unlock your Alpha slot. Your choice of Alpha basically grants you a bonus to one (or more, depending on what tier you've earned) effects in all powers that it would apply to as if you had a bonus slot in all of them, and at higher levels you can retain half or even 2/3rds of the bonus in without ED limitations. So if you take damage, you can get up to a 45% damage boost, and at tier 4, 30% of that is unaffected by Enhancement Diversification.

The long story: Back in the day people would 6-slot powers for damage, and they ruled like gods. The developers then decided that they needed a way to make people weaker, so the made it so that you could only gain the full benefit from slotting 3 of the same type of enhancement into a power, and anything beyond the third would get increasingly diminished returns. hence diversification, as you would need to diversify the types of enhancements in your powers. And to make us feel better about lost power, they gave us the invention enhancement system, a new kind of enhancement that you wouldn't out-level and if you got 2 or more from the same set in a power then you would gain set bonuses to your damage, defense, regeneration, recovery, resistance, healing, to hit, etc. Those bonuses are small, however, and you need to get a lot of them to really make a difference. ED took away a lot of the awesome feeling of being super powered and made the game into a more balanced vigilante force of differently abled heroes rather than superheroes.

Clearly you are overqualified for the dev position

Maybe if we could teleport NPCs in escort/hostage missions, things would be a little easier. If I were going to be a dev, I'd definitely add to my list the idea of being able to teleport NPCs in missions like these. Seems weird that you've got these powerful hero and villains with the ability to teleport themselves, allies, and sometimes even villains.....but the civilians? Nah, gotta walk them out. I'm over it. I skip escort missions at every opportunity, and if I'm on a team with on, I let the team worry about it while I go off and kill mobs on my own.

Na Na Na Na Na.....BAT LORE!!

At the very least, that should be an AE mission arc. Someone get on it.

Now I kind of want to see either the Chronos or GWW mecha hijacked by another group and have a crude clown face painted on it before it gets sent out to harass the city. That would be fun for April 1st.

That is an entirely accurate observation.

Non-vegans can use it too.

Completely random thought: I'd add a traffic signal to the head options where the pumpkin helmet is

I'd borrow visual effects from other sources and make the wind control set playable. I'd also unlock more NPC costume parts for player use, split head details 1 and 2 into 1A & 1B and 2A & 2B so more things can be combined, like mustaches and cigars or sunglasses and earmuffs. I'd probably do something similar for auras so you can have 2, 3 or even 4 plus the travel aura. Halo, Glowing eyes, and Electricity all over your body plus the Clouds with lightning travel aura? You bet!

I kind of wish some of the objects we have with sounds could be separated from those sounds and then have a whole new tab of placeable sound effects so we can choose what things sound like or if they have no sound at all.

There's a shadowy aura in the prismatic aether tier 3 effects that gives you glowing eyes and darkens your overall look but still keeps your costume details. If the target can be given a paralyzed pose and apply a temporary effect like this (minus the glowing eyes and maybe make it more grainy and gray instead of dark, that might accomplish the temporary turn to stone effect.

I'd love to have some kind of sidearm ancillary pool set.
