  1. Masterminds themselves can move through their pets... I'd just love to see that setting extended to include team- and league-mates. That would solve a lot of the navigation issues. (And I might actually be able to team with my Demons/Time MM again without feeling like I was being a total jackass to seven other people. <_<)
  2. Street Stalkers are great fun. I love the set on Brutes, too, though. That's not really a mechanical thing so much as a "this FEELS like a brute set" one, though. The animations and sound effects are just so... well, BRUTAL. XD
  3. You guys beat me to it... My vote for most complex to get right? The classic tri-form "MFing Warshade". That takes a good sense of timing and coordination to play well. Dual Blade sounds like it would be a pain to play, but I've found it less of a hassle in-practice than it looks like on proverbial paper. Once you know which attacks trigger the combination effects, it's pretty easy to pick if/when you want to use them, and the utility of the set isn't dependent on getting that right. You'll do fine even if you never trigger a combo at all. Street and Titan are actually more fiddly in my experience.
  4. I had a pretty big collection of characters back-in-the-day... most of them "finished" 50s, with their completed set-builds and iToys and the whole nine yards. I told myself when Homecoming popped up back in the spring, that I was NOT going to do that again. I swore up and down that I just wasn't going to have a vast tribe of alts. I was going to keep to a few this time and not go overboard. Have I managed to stick to that? Sort of. <_< Counting my fire-farmer, I currently have 23 characters. Which is about a dozen more than I intended. But... once again, like in the Live days... most of them do get "finished" before I move on to the next. So, while I'm still something of an altaholic, I'm sort of a serial character-builder rather than a lateral one.
  5. I... really just want antlers. A proper set of deer antlers. … And some hooves that aren't absolutely freakin' FUGLY.
  6. Sentinels need an Earth epic so that I can do a Water/Fire/Stone Elementalist mage proper justice. (Yes, I can recolor the /Ice epic to look like green crystal, but I want real Stompy-Smashy-Earthy goodness darnit. XD)
  7. If you look at the interface there are already upgrade options... They take both lower tier bits and a crap-ton of INF, though. (Something like one of each Rare + 100m INF to make a VR, IIRC? It's been awhile since I looked at that. And no. I'm not really a "City of Marketeering" type, so 100m still looks like a lot of INF to me. XD)
  8. One of the things I always loved about my Dual Blade tank back-in-the-day was his absolutely SILENT Taunt. He just struck a stylish sort-of 'Have at thee!' pose, there was a little "flash" sound and then he got on with the stabbing... No silly grunting or ARRR!ing or any of that. It was nice. So... My vote would actually be for a "minimal FX" version of Taunt that used the flash sound from DB, but didn't come with any attached vocalizations from the character at all.
  9. I've had one unfinished Tank in my crew since... May? I think? I just rebuilt/replaced that one recently, though. (Went from WP/SS to WP/Street-) While the old one was pretty much shelved, this new version may have a shot at actually getting to 50. We'll see. XD
  10. We're not EVEN going to talk about Jack-in-Irons. NOPE. Not. Gonna.
  11. Again... GEARS, CP... *Not Sprockets*. They aren't talking about the adds/re-enforcements that are summoned while the Clock boss is alive. They're talking about the little things that pop up after the Prince bosses are defeated. In the past that's been reliable. It happens every time... The only variable has been the number of Gears you get. (2-5, I think? It's been awhile since I went farming for them-)
  12. They draw enough aggro as it is. If they could attack? They wouldn't last three seconds before you'd have to resummon them.
  13. I could see "unnoticed/unseen, but NOT actually invisible" working for quite a few concepts... I have a pair of psychic types, for instance, who both currently have Stealth IOs slotted in Sprint. I've been calling that sneakiness the result of concealment cantrips since they're both magi, but if we had this as an option? I'd probably use it with both Arte and Dorian, and instead define their going unnoticed as something more akin to a Jedi mind-trick than outright magic. A simple mental bit of manipulation... "You don't see me."/"I'm not the hero you're looking for."/"I'm Bob from Accounting."/"I'm somebody else's problem." Granted I *could* still say that, but it's a little goofier to do so when they're both standing there being semi-transparent. o_0
  14. That would be fun. I want to see how many of our "unicorn" powerset combinations still are. XD
  15. Odd. They're just up on my regular web host... 'Same one I've used for all the other screens I've posted, including what's in that ancient Titan thread.
  16. Replace the wolves with the Shadow Hounds, the lionesses with the Spirit Panthers and the dire wolf with a Wodan? Oh, heck yeah! XD
  17. I do love my creepy old body-snatching wizard-ghosts... The Oranbegans have always been one of my favorite bits of the game. I'm fond of the Shard, too, and really wish the old devs had done more with the Rularuu and that gorgeous, troublesome, vast trio of zones they made for them. 'So much missed potential out there.
  18. Can confirm having seen this, too. It doesn't happen often, but it's annoying when it does.
  19. The hero and villain Ouro portals are actually two different powers, if I'm remembering correctly. That's why the red side version can be renamed like any other summoned pet (Kaikara calls hers "Illusion Gate", after the Sorcerer's capital city travel portal from Aion. XD) while the blue side version CAN'T be given a custom name. It looks like one may have been tagged with the "can't summon here" flag while the other wasn't.
  20. Ajda (Windwhispered) gets punchy... Sunset in Grandville Silver and Semnai's life is occasionally electrifying MIGHTY! It's all fun and games until you get mobbed by monkeys.... A Silver-shaped hole in space Xhelethe was not impressed by Infernal ("He is not a real demon," she says. "He is not even from the Abyss.") She doesn't think much of the Council, either. A real fixer-upper, but it has a great view... … and my base, the Sanctum of Shadows, in flowered-up "Wedding Party mode".
  21. Nice! The last one I know of over on Everlasting still had issues with dropping people and being unable to re-invite.
  22. Is the instanced version still buggy as all hell? It still tended to blow up the league the last time I took part in one.
  23. I wish. Most of the iBits are character-bound. Emps are the only things we can transfer across to other characters on our accounts.
  24. Back in the day, my favorite tank hoarded Candy Canes. In the end he had twenty-five hundred of them.... <_< >_> I may or may not have started a new Cane hoard here with another character. 'Just saying.
  25. As a "decorative" base-builder who tends to have a pretty eccentric style... That is to say someone with absolutely zero interest in joining some massive SG full of interpersonal drama, politics and leaders who would likely never let me build the way I wanted to... I'm not only going to say "No" to this idea, I'm going to say "OH, F-ING HELL NO". I remember *exactly* how much of a pain in the proverbial bum it was to grind Prestige for my little one-person base project back in the day and wouldn't want to return to that for anything in the world. I could barely afford bookshelves and a potted plant in that little base. Here? I built this. Not only that, I was able to go back and redecorate the place to host a friend's character's wedding party. I could never have done that if every single flower and candlestick cost Prestige... So, yeah. You better believe I'll push back against the idea of making that kind of thing impossible again. <_<
