it's fascinating because it shows that it's not as simple as power=popularity.

I did the Mercy plotlines for the first time in years this week and there are some odd choices there. Particularly, I was surprised how hard it was to fulfill one of the hunts for a pre-change plotline (Snakes). It definitely underscored how much the whole space is hostile in a really interesting way. Also there's a lot of space that doesn't feel... used? like there's a lot of spaces that are just 'more back alleys between cramped spaces,' rather than the way that Atlas feels like it has spaces designed for living/doing/hanging.

It's a great set for duo/small group consistent play. Pugs, no idea, don't think I'd bother. But Fortitude is a corker of a buff available very early on that makes a lot of the levelling play experience easier, granting tohit, and defense and damage. I don't know if that's enough for a powerset to exist, but to me, I don't at all feel bad about rolling an empath to hang with a friend. Most of what I do on my empaths is fortitude the people who need it, auras when they're up, adrenaline boost an optimal target, and then I am all pew pew pew. It is a bit rough that most of its powers, I'd skip, but I mean that's true for me of Forcefield and Sonic too.

Oh huh, I guess I should touch base here. Played on Virtue, played a lot of characters. Probably most known for Battlebriar, back ten years ago, or Fatal Harmonic? Either way, I'm around.

It was issue 7, all my friends were playing brutes, masterminds and corruptors, and I thought that it'd be cool to know something they didn't, because I was a twerp. I started on dominators. I failed at dominators for a long time. Eventually, some years after I started playing, my first 50 was a Dominator. It took a few years, and included a lot of alting around to try and find something that made it work. Anyway, I wound up making a scrapper after that to see how quick he could get to 50 and I think it took a month, mostly solo street-sweeping in hazard zones. But by then I'd been bitten by the bug and I kept making dominators and working on the project of getting Permadom - and cheaply. I remember a build of him that relied on Knockback sets to get over the 70% mark.

One of the best things about Energy Melee is the way that its passive perk stacks and layers the way it does. I really like that it's all stuns.

Hi, I do that for some characters as ways of conveying how their powers 'should' work. So, it's not a zero-effect proposition here.

Just accounting the sequence of events as best I can: Earlier today, I took my character Ironworks to measure him against Katie Bell for a friend's AE arc. Upon getting a screenshot of him standing next to her in Imperial City, I flew him to the tailor, to get a screenshot of his precise height so she could get the right height for her AE arc. When I clicked on the tailor, the costume window partially came up (you know the way that windows 'grow' from nothing very quickly?) and then crashed the game. I did not submit a report, and just rebooted, assuming it was on my hardware. I then restarted the game and tried again, and got the same costume window partial, then crash. I restarted the game, opened his costume selector, got the same partial costume window, then crash. I restarted the game, loaded a different character, accessed the tailor (she was in Pocket D, right by the tailor), and it worked with a slight hesitation. I returned to Ironworks, opened the tailor, and crashed. I restarted the game, loaded Ironworks, opened his costume window, and it worked. Then I went to the Tailor to check if it worked now, and crashed. I restarted the game, took Ironworks to Pocket D, checked with the tailor there, and it worked. This is the best of my recollection. I came to the forums, checked if this was an existing issue, didn't see a thread, then filed a support ticket (which I think is the right process). I was then advised to make this thread. I hope this is helpful.
