I felt like they really dropped the ball when they added a bunch of new auras with new options, including the combat version of each, and instead of taking the opportunity to expand on the old auras all they did was give combat options for what already existed. I sometimes felt like anytime they introduced a new shiny thing they were hoping it would distract players who wanted to see older stuff updated.

There's a lot to be said for the minimalist approach. Some other options: auras from the Energy Aura set, the atomic aura with the enrgy balls orbiting you, floating runes for the wizardy types, and a barely visible effect for those who want their force fields to present as some kind of invisible telekinetic effect

Personally that's the worst part for me. Get a little of something I like on one, and a little of something else on another, and maybe something else on a third......and then, instead of liking each for standing out in their own way I end up frustrated that each lacks what they others have and that I can't have everything in one place. Give me everything and let me choose to use what I want. Stand out by having the mostest of the most stuff. Frustrating.

Robots becoming self-aware is never a good thing

I also welcomed him back but was not ignored

One more, because this is fun. Verdant: https://suno.com/song/c6ed4d3a-6286-4adc-bb96-68918c03ea93?sh=EWnZP2LY6RFKFLEN

I like how City of Heroes got worked into the chorus of Giant Monster Slayer's song.

Thanks to @BasiliskXVIII for bringing Suno.com to our attention, but rather than compete with the images in the AI Generative Art thread, let's bring our character theme music to its own dedicated post. Giant Monster Slayer: https://suno.com/song/159e4909-abea-479f-9f48-2b68d3be1362?sh=qhPe7vgRUavbCTkv And my first song attempt: Groovemaster: https://suno.com/song/d1b9f194-55ab-47bd-b36e-5d1ab4549e4b?sh=W0f0zoNabb3Jht9a

Zombee is clever

SeraphimKensai said that the reason powers like Aim and Build Up were given limited --if any-- customization is because they can have a drastic outcome in PVP and should be recognizable. My point is that stalkers and their stealth has way more of a drastic effect as I recall back on Live getting one-shotted by stalkers out of no where unless I was playing a tanker or brute, but the nature of the AT requires stealth to not be seen. Basically there was no equity in keeping some powers highly recognizable by limiting their customization.

Triage beacon sucks. It should be revamped to act more like Nature Affinity's Lifegiving Sports.....a toggle you can drop and pick up without a long recharge.

My demonic mastermind doesn't command other demons, he commands the souls of damned soldiers.

It is a buff power in a control set, that's why the buff isn't that good and the long recharge.....kind of like how some buff sets have a hold that isn't as good as the holds in control sets.

Randohero? Please elaborate.

Oh, this is a fun new toy, and Groovemaster now has his own song instead of relying on Groove is in the Heart as his theme. https://suno.com/song/d1b9f194-55ab-47bd-b36e-5d1ab4549e4b?sh=W0f0zoNabb3Jht9a

Unless they made stalker stealth more visible, I would dispute the equitable argument

Reference the vomit guy. "Hey, did you hear that the vomit guy was in the hospital for weeks after they dragged him out of here? Did he drink too much or did someone poison him?"

I'd love to hear them cutting loose and venting about their daily lives. Civilian dancer: "I so needed this after the day I had. The bank I work at got robbed, AND they blew up my car. That's what I get for parking on the street." Council raver: "They had me sweep the whole base. It's in a cave! There's literally dirt falling from the walls and ceiling!" Longbow: "You see that earlier? I think War Witch was checking me out." Bartender: "Say, aren't you (character name)? I heard about you on the news earlier... [reference recent completed mission]."

Rip Homage sounds like a good character name.

People "toss" stuff on the auction house because they want money. Most stuff can be just sold at stores for a fair, possibly better price than they'd get at the auction house. Only things I bother to auction off are the things that can't be sold at stores. But maybe I'll just keep all that from now on to justify your silly concerns about hoarding.

Can we get the NPCs in Pocket D to be a little more than set dressing? Like maybe add some dialogue when you click on them like random people in the streets of the city? Doesn't have to be meaningful or anything, even just "Don't bother me" or "Do I look like I care?" rather than just standing there looking like they are talking to someone else but never having anything to say unless it's the Desperate Guy and Turndown Girl.

Unless you can share resources with people outside of the supergroup, then being a member of the supergroup becomes necessary for utilizing the storage items of the SG base. It's easy enough for everyone who wants to link their characters with a personal base to a supergroup with coalitions. The inconvenience comes from not being part of the supergroup.....can't access the SG base's storage, don't get the SGMotD, etc. It's like none of the benefits of SG membership but at least you can enter the base at will.

If you're going to present it as an excuse for your disagreement, it was your concern to start with. If you want to present your opinions and walk away with whatever "evidence" you choose, then you certainly can. But as you can put those opinions out there, so too am I free to refute them. No one is forcing you to argue the point, but no one forced you to comment to start with either. Everything is on you the moment you choose to involve yourself in the discussion.
