This doesn't sound like the Snarky we all know and... love? Someone else get on your computer while you were away? 😄

Or Beasts have red noses and can fly... at least for a season. 🙂

"what powersets stand out now as extremely weak" The powerset I'm currently using. "or powerful?" The powersets everyone else is using. 😄

I've won one CC for certain, and maybe a second but I cannot remember what the costume was. For the first one it was "casual" themed. What is more casual than jeans, t-shirt, sneakers, hair in pony-tail (female)? Of the other numerous contestants only one other person was remotely casual, it looked like everyone else showed up with their super tights. Easiest CC ever. (on live) I did place, maybe that was the other first place finish for me, in a dev sponsored contest with the top 3 (or was it 5?) picks on each server receiving the newly released animated-tail pack for free. I had just created a "fox girl" but she was missing the bushy tail (of course). I really really wanted that pack, and got it (I'm a cheapskate and didn't want to spend the $10). woohoo! edit: or was it that I had the tail but not the fur and won the fur pack? sigh, was sooo long ago...

That already exists in the Rikti War Zone. The only thing to change would be to see the AFVs actually fighting instead of cruising around trying to pick up chicks 😄 ; it would be so cool to see them firing their BFGs.

No, they don't open quicker. I've watched for this.

Don't all villains always have a plan? They never work, of course. *cue Pinky and the Brain theme song*

If that happens I'll be so angry...

I'd like some way to run a jungle or nature based character through the levels in mostly wooded areas. Perhaps a zone (or a good part of a zone) that is linked to Perez Park (through rivers?), perhaps linked to the southern part of the Hollows, the zone has some intermediate level areas, and then linked to Eden. I realize that's a niche theme, but probably more used, at least in much older comics before the wear-underwear-on-outside comics dominated the market, than an underwater zone. Maybe the new zone could have both woods and underwater missions (different contacts and different mission trees <- hah.. trees 😄 ).

Ever stand at ground zero of Meteor and look up? I did and took several screenshots as it came down. This is the closest I could capture before it hit.

Oh H.E.double-hockey-sticks no. I want to be able to go through low levels zones without being interrupted every few feet. I hated this in a Star Wars MMO (TOR?) when I was trying to get to my missions when the mobs were -5 levels or more to me. Now if they had made the roadways clear so you can bypass the chumps that wouldn't have been so bad. The Tip missions, based on your level, derived from beating up grey-cons was a good way to give meaning to those greys.

I find Sorcery to be lacking. I'd rather take the Flight Pool for my travel power. But, on a couple magic-themed characters I have used it. I do not like the teleport part of Mystic Flight; too much busy work for little gain. I'd rather sit back and read an in-air magazine 😄 . I also feel that way about the Teleport pool in general. I've tried it once, respec'd out of it, and never took it again. I discovered something about Arcane Bolt - after watching some anime of magic-using sword-wielding characters, I took this power with broadsword & shield scrapper. I love the quick animation of Arcane Bolt, probably because a shield prohibits the usual way-too-long hand motions of the regular animation. One of these days I'll add more slots to it and then maybe it will amount to something. It is useful to blast those chumps who run away with a sliver of health left.

Are you sure about the 10% thing? I've gone to a monster hunt, did not join the team, hit it with one shot (usually a sniper blast of some sort), and got the badge and merits. Sometimes it's almost dead when I arrived and barely got in the one shot.

Why are there Malta hanging around in PI like a gang? That's not their MO. Carnies? Not really their thing either. Nemesis groups? Well, that's just another Nemesis plot. Perhaps if either had someone handing out flyers or spouting invitations to their organizations (i.e., recruitment) then it might make more sense (like Council on soap boxes or Crey people in SW Bricks). It's not just 50+ groups that shouldn't be hanging around like low level street thugs. But it was an MMO thing back in the day, it didn't have to make sense. Some of us at 50 don't care for incarnate things; or dislike roaming "edgelord" darkity-dark Dark Astoria, or time travelling to fight Roman soldiers (really? why are they 45+?). We just want a bigger area than the small section of PI to casually beat up bad guys. I don't want to go into AE (I dislike the way its implemented). It would be nice to have some story and reason for street sweeping, but that seems to be a very low priority (if it exists at all) for added content.

not me.. I don't wear pants

Excelsior and Indomitable Sounds like a duo team that will be involved in a new series of (Tip?) missions. Which sounds like a great idea for new content for soloists, like me.

I'd rather have seen the stadium completed and have missions pertaining to its construction, such as union strikes (Family related), delays due to supplies not making it (pick whatever group would want to stop it ), environmental concerns (DE), etc. Those missions could still exist. I suppose. I just think a completed stadium, or perhaps one that is more completed than the current situation, would be good for RP reasons or other missions, e.g., stop the mad villain scheme to kill lots of people at a game/blackmail.

Are you (not just the person I'm responding to) people that stupid? Someone already explained that you get 80% XP from Freaks compared to other mobs. Add in the 20% rez average of Freaks, the XP is the same as other mobs. (notice: 80% + 20% = 100%... simple math, people). gad... Yeah, this is a hostile post, but I'm effin' tired of people telling me that Freaks are double XP. They are not. They are annoyingly annoying.

mmm.. rocky road.

I'll start the chant... US US US US US US US US US US US US US

It was made for THEM.

Only to the other me.

I'm looking forward to the MM changes. Another MM change I'd like is to pick my attack type, as in I'd like to use archery with Beasts instead of Killer Bees and whatever that bird attack is. I can dream, right? 🙂

I would but for 2 reasons: 1) none are near my usual travel routes, 2) they got rid of ham & cheese sandwich (or the one that is nearest to me did). 😞

It goes way back further than that. I was using a PLATO keyboard with arrows printed on the WADX keys in the mid '70s.
