I turned his frown upside down. Literally. That's why he looks weird - but happier!

... and that's his happy face!

I love SS, but I love elec because late on it feels amazing and I like the feel of the early stone attacks. All of these are impactful. I'm not keen on energy melee, though, it feels weak and pathetic. Perhaps some of this might help you find an alternative?

Fixed it for you.

If you knew, it wouldn't be private/secret, would it?

If WWE taught me anything it's that if your villain doesn't look bad enough, put a man in a suit next to him.

I'm loving my anything/anything blaster...

Ugh, why did it have to be DDS format?! Yuck! 😞

Always looking out for a theme tune...

It seems there is a whole host of new players who don't know what a MISSION is. Ugh, wall of text! Give me TL;DR or give me grinding!!111 Let's not forget that many players might not even understand english, so ... a lot of the story will be wasted on them. Not that you get chance to read stories during task forces anyway ... I'll shut up now.

Energy Melee -> Whirling Hands animation doesn't trigger/cancels if I move, though the damage still happens.

Whilst I agree that the generic skyscraper zones are very similar to one another, we should remember that they are reflective of the early days of the game. Remember also that as real world architecture has become more interesting, the developers did make newer buildings reflect that, too. Wentworths and AE are good examples. My perspective of villain zones is that they are mostly docks, rubble and brick buildings interspersed with (to different degrees) arachnos architecture.

Maybe it would make sense to have a "Recommended" villain server?

You lost me here. Sorry, what? No. Here's my experience: I've only ever solo'd red side for obvious reasons, so all I've ever done are missions. But the zones are all extremely similar to one another. There's no way you can refer to them as "Unique". I don't know about enemy variety, but because the zones are so generic I don't really notice much variety in the dockworkers or builders or goldbrickers attacking me. Internally, the offices are much MUCH more interesting (and yes I know it's just a skin-job) than the vanilla game had, but later missions blue-side had some good variety in them, too.

I get the impression that gotham's about darkness, not grittiness. And inside every building? A PARTY!

I would LOVE to see villain side starting zone get a rework. What it needs is PARTY -The joker in the original Batman movie - you know? FUN! Instead, it's the total opposite! Ugh, BORING drudgery. Pffeh! Get the neon ... ON! It needs bright colours, freakshow everywhere and so on. It DESPERATELY needs colour. - take a look at the early missions Hero side. They're all about busting parties. So why aren't villains all about HAVING parties?!

Ooh nice. Hey look at that, Golden titles ... kinda funny tho... the first theme is anything. Will the title be; "Anything Contest Runner-Up"? Seems rather mysterious. I like it.

I thought these were quite popular - I know I always enjoyed seeing what other people had cooked up. 😞 Did they go out of fashioni? 😉

I'm trying Hyperstrike's invuln template for my Inv/Energy. My verdict is that I'm not 100% convinced because I have all the inf I need; I think I might be able to plug the psi hole better by throwing inf at it.

... and if he doesn't like cookies he should be shot. Unless he's allergic or diabetic. But yes, I use that modding tool - I even uploaded my teleport sfx mod to it today! :) ... let's see... Ah there are the icons! Thansk for the tip! Now... ... 2 to choose from! ... but I don't even have to restart for this mod. That's great. I'm going to try Lev's for now. Thanks Lev!

Am I the only one who struggles to tell the difference between small and medium blues? I can't recognise which is which at first glance. Often I think I have 3 to merge together but they arent' the same one. Does anybody have a mod for the medium graphics, perhaps?

Yeah! I've got an industrial age steampunk character with these powersets. He's level... 1. So I have no ideas, sorry. 😞

I don't like how so many existing sets offer different powers as you advance, when what I really want is more effectiveness for existing ones. Having hundreds and hundreds of powers is cool, but sometimes I just want to upgrade something I already have instead. So this is super simple(ish): Grenade single target grenade. Explodes under the target. Advanced Grenade requires 1. replaces 1 with a small AoE grenade. Superior Grenade requires 2. replaces 2 with bigger AoE grenade. Grenade Spread requires 3. replaces 3 with lots of grenades, each doing an AoE. Maybe reduce cooldown on it or change damage type or whatever. This isn't the most sophisticated of sets, but it offers advancement via investment, rather than suggesting to players that they should DIP into the pool for one or two powers. Let's bear in mind that many superheroes/supervillains seem to be one-trick ponies, so having one power that changes a lot as the character progresses is quite appropriate.
