Shin Magmus

I'm impressed by GM Widower's restraint to not immediately lock the thread after that sick burn. Leaving that comment as the final comment would've been absolutely iconic.

Just be as popular with the GMs as me.

To further clarify this point, Blasters and Dominators both have access to the same power in their sets Sonic Manipulation and Sonic Assault: "Disruption Aura." This is like a sidegrade of Disruption Field from the support powerset except weaker in effect, and centered on yourself. Dominator Disruption Aura: -15% Res Blaster Disruption Aura: -14% Res These powers are functionally identical (as they should be) so they reflect different debuff values based on the AT scalars, correctly showing a slightly higher number for Dominators than for Blasters. The HC devs created both of these sets, and they know that Dominators are better at debuffing than Blasters. So... I guess we're fixing this right?

I actually really like Metroid Prime 2: Echoes.

Incredible bug, incredible find. Making enemies invincible is pretty bad, hope the fix gets pushed soon.

Over the last 2 days I've been on more than one ApeMage (The correct naming for how people run TinPex) where the Apex TF worked as normal but the Tin Mage TF has inspirations disabled: including the accompanying icon under your health bars / self buffs. In all cases, the leaders of these TFs were confused and swear they didn't intentionally toggle this option on. This begs the question of how it is happening: if the TF start window is checking options by default or something. I started a few myself to try to replicate it, but everything behaves as normal on my end. It could just be a bunch of coincidences, but has anyone else been on some TFs where inspirations were mysteriously disabled recently?

This is the kind of comment you write that will get deleted by a GM/Mod imminently. You just can't help yourself.

Snarky, this reads almost exactly like a MTG card. Are you a vampire duel master?

It *is* going "la la la I can't hear you", but some people deserve that. Healthy discussion requires healthy active moderation, otherwise anyone can derail the discussion single-handedly. Jranger is just a meme with inertia from the olden days... I thought someone explained it in the thread already but it's the laziest possible brief shorthand for "you're wrong and dumb."

GOAT costume editor and power customization: you can make yourself look really cool.

I don't have a Thermal to test it on now, but they keep changing a power that sends ExecutePower calls to other sub-powers by changing the self-revives "Rise of the Phoenix/Phoenix Rising": similar but different from "Power of the Phoenix". It's extremely possible that this is a bug and you found it. See if you can recreate it and make sure you note the Archetype (I assume Defender), because sometimes these bugs are only on one AT.

Even if you did disable reactions, known contrarian trolls could still respond to all of your comments and posts with ragebait memes and "feels fine to me" regardless. I recommend using the block function for this reason, and that leads to a logically correct deduction. If you block someone (so you can't see them post "Beanbag is core to my build, feels fine to me /jranger"), that should also hide all of their reactions from you. It shouldn't prevent them from commenting or reacting, but it should hide both 100% of their comments and reactions from you. That seems completely reasonable, and helpful. If I choose not to engage with a contrarian anymore because there is no benefit for me seeing their thoughts, ultimately that's my right.

My threads have gotten locked because contrarians showed up to do nothing but reply with every single point with "nu uh, feels fine to me." If you think I haven't been there with you, I have. But moderation on this forum in general is incredibly uneven, so my advice is to just give up hope.

You guys don't have private conversations with GMs? Guess it's just me then...

As a Shin Grambulax Master I feel this thread has run its course and will now be locking it to further replies. There is a startling lack of being excellent to each other, despite GM GooglyMoogly's efforts. However, we will be addressing the very valid and correct concern about Dominator Sonic Assault having incorrect debuff values and durations relative to the same powers in Sonic Attack. Good day.
