Clave Dark 5

They're afraid of adding gnus as MM pets to the game.

Ha, not from me anyways. I don't resort to ad hominem attacks. Usually. 😃

That sort of stuff you described is, I'm willing to bet, a serious head ache to develop: one misstep and you've OPed every min/maxer, who'll howl when you have to strip that stuff back out of the game (while al;so saying it's all to easy now). Ultimately it sounds to me like you've just played CoH a LOT and that it might be time to take a break.

No, nope, that's too sensible. There must be some conspiracy to not do things and someone to blame for it.

I don't have any thought son the suggested IOs or anything, but please, let's have the mansion run available year-round like the blockbuster is if we're going to do this. I'd personally love to be able to Halloween (or even Baby New Year) any time of year for the change of pace and less-over-exposed maps. Plus the price for the IOs wouldn't go through the roof the rest of the year.

Simply a joke, don't mind me. Thanks for the build.

Since apparently shameless begging is a thing for these threads (😀) , was there a Fire/Dual Blades Brute build that I missed somewhere? Are their any cheap ones?

That looks sick, so of course I'll be working on Halloween. Still, good work, and have fun!

Yup, all correct. Mike Baron was a pretty solid superhero writer back in the day.

Never. I hit a wall sometime in the middle tiers, like say +2 where I either stop playing the character (new shinies!) or the process just becomes a pain because of the awful Incarnates interface. At that point, I may still pull one or two of the "mains" out for occasional BAFs or something, but dear god, aren't they already powerful enough?! Who cares?! I just want to have fun here, not jump through stupid hoops.

This really should be achievable fairly easily with community input. One could hold writing contests in the AE and lift out the successful ones, for instance. I know they do still require testing and all that, but writing them itself is still at least one step that the devs can farm out.

Plus there are some glaring problems with certain power sets, single powers, etc. Tons of stuff there that they could work on around the edges without creating new power sets.

I've thought of doing something crazy like that just for the hell of it. Beyond that, hey, if you can't reach them, they can't reach you either.

Carp melee, at last!!

I understand our HC overlords are "looking at" a number of things and that like anything, they'll be ready when they're ready. I have to admit it feels like it's been a long time since "big things" came out, but that could just be me; I'm not passing any judgement on them for that either. I'm hoping they've got some big update simmering away, juuuust about ready to come out.

Oh pancakes.

Just found this thread and this is a phenomenal amount of work. I haven't even opened one yet, maybe these are all terrible builds or won't fit my playstyle or maybe you kick puppies - doesn't matter, just a boatload of work for the community. Thanks!

Even after all this time here I didn't know this existed. I'm going to go lie down for awhile....

Badger was indeed 80s, I had many of them! My closest-related story was getting all jazzed about my new alt a few months ago - exciting funny character concept, found a good build for him here on the forums and off I went. I was somewhere in the 20s levels when I realized I already had another previous alt with the very same power-sets. I'd abandoned him at like 46th level because he just wasn't clicking for me. I put it down to having a different build and not having much of a character concept. Right now my newer alt is around 50th+15 and perhaps my main (and also right there at the end of my sig).

Not everyone min/maxes following forum guidelines.

I have an AR/Martial and have been discovering the same thing (I know DP's probably better, but I've done that power set a few times now). That shooting someone as they drift away after a Ki Push never gets old!

Can't believe I'm getting to be the first to say anything Grav is the most fun because of Propel. Throwing a forklift at someone' s head is really satisfying.

It's really blown up since it was posted though.

Why not just make all newspapers/radios usable on whatever map your on, why restrict that to just 50s?

That all makes perfect sense, thanks!
