Arnabas

It bordered on too much reading for me. I love having dialogue and stuff to read, but this had a lot, and it came fast. I had to stop periodically and then scrtoll back and read for five minutes before continuing on with the mission.

I love seeing alignment choices integrated into actual missions. I would like to see more of that.

Edited question because it was dumb and I don't see a way to delete it.

Ah. I thought you were hinting at something else involving the expansion of the game, because I have seen other veiled hints at something big coming, content-wise.

Ok, that sounds intriguing, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Both are correct, actually, but I can understand the confusion.

Yes, that is why I said "I like to see..." rather than "I would like to see..."

Doubling the recharge time on Sting of the Wasp kills one of my characters. I have an AR/ Ninja blaster who does a fair bit of melee. I slotted his sword attacks to go as fast as possible. They were still a bit slow, but manageable. Now, not so much. I will therefore ask again that the fighting pool be customizable to show different types of attacks, including swords. I wouldn't even care if the type of damage didn't match up. I just want to swing my sword.... On the other hand, adding stances was a great idea and saved me from having to respec one of my guys. I always kept him in Beast Run mode because it suited him, but recently took Combat Jumping, which negates it. I was going to respec to remove CJ, but now I don't have to. Beyond that, I really like to see new missions being added. That, for me personally, is one of the most important things to focus on.

I'll be needing some respecs.... I bought Long Range Teleport for the very first time on a character for whom it is perfectly appropriate.... just in time to lose it. I have to read up on how to get it back.

Had you intended to quote me in your post? Just curious because it doesn't seem to relate to anything I said.

All my characters have bios and most of them from live were tied together in one big soap opera that included 2 novellas and countless shorter posts. If I don't have a bio for my character, i have a hard time connecting with them and eventually end up deleting them.

What are the requirements for the long range teleport accolade? I just bought that for the first time on one of my characters and I like having it. I don't really want to lose it.

I am personally most interested in new story content. SOme of the other stuff is cool, and I certainly appreciate the work you guys do, but it sounds like the net effect is to make the game even easier, which is a surprising decision.

I haven't accumulated that many purples over the course of my time playing, which includes launch to sunset of the original, and the return.

Nice. The most Inf I ever had was about $30M

I... don't remember. I will have to go check now.

Aside from Penny, there is a young boy in one of the missions, but I forget his name. So there are a couple of kids. In terms of being right-handed, there are plenty of left-handed attacks. I have often remarked that some of my characters must be left handed because of how they hold their weapons.

Honestly, I think the best bet is just to assume it won't happen, or it will be far in the future. That isn't to be negative, but just to avoid getting your expectations too high. We all know what Soon means.... I knew about the private servers a number of years ago and was laughed at (or yelled at) a number of times for suggesting they were real and that we would one day play on them. I did believe it would happen in time, but to avoid being too disappointed, I kept telling myself that it would take at least 10 years. The result was that I could put it out of my mind to a degree, and was pleasantly surprised when it came faster than that. In terms of any sort of potential deals, I am again telling myself it will probably take at least 5 more years so that I don't need to worry about it for now.

Looks cool. That one Freak with the lightbulb in his codpiece, though...

1. Good point. I tend to always post in general, but should look at other options. 2. Yes, it has some nice soft control with knockdowns, and your other points are valid. I was thinking that with some recharge, the damage will also improve as I fire attacks off quicker.

I had it and respecced it out partly for the aiming issues. I figure that if I add it again. I will just target, hit Follow to line me up automatically, then attack single targets. If it hits more than one, well, bonus.

I don't mind the delay... I kind of like watching the shurikens fly and arc toward the target. My first Dom was Dark/ Dark which feel much more powerful in some ways.

So, I finally got around to making a couple of Dominators. I hadn't really played them prior to now because I kept hearing about how they supposedly need perma-Domination to be viable. Thankfully, I have found that to be untrue. I am actually enjoying the ones I have made so far, but my most recent is Electric Control/ Martial Assault. In many ways, he is pretty fun, but the attacks in Martial Assault seem really underwhelming. I always wanted a thrown weapon power, so I really like the shuriken attacks, but I don't see why they are designed the way they are. By comparison, I have a Dom with Dark Assault. His attacks include 3 Moderate, 3 High, and 2 Superior. He feels very strong. Another character with Psionic Assault has 3 Moderate, 4 High, and 1 Extreme. Even Icy Assault has mostly Moderate, with 1 High and 1 Superior. Martial Assault starts with a Minor attack and is followed by 4 Moderate, another Minor, and ends with Superior and Extreme. (And yes, I know there are other factors than just the damage, such as slows, etc, but I am just giving this as an example). By the time I hit those later powers, I am sure the damage output should be fairly decent, but it seems that compared to other powers, Martial Assault is a little on the weak side. I though Envenomed Blades might compensate, but it doesn't seem to have much of an effect. There are other powers (Radioactive Assault, Savage Assault) that start of pretty light as well, but they seem to have more hard-hitting powers that follow soon after. I am only level 26 or so, so I recognize that I may see things change soon, but thus far, I am not seeing much to balance the power vs others. Can anyone else who has played it chime in? I was thinking that for the level 1 power, since it fires 3 shuriken it might be neat (if possible) to have 3 to-hit rolls, one for each shuriken, so that the damage can still be Minor for each, but if they all hit, maybe it would bump to Moderate.

I'm joining this conversation rather late, but concerning character creator constraints (holy alliteration, Batman!) being "limited" has resulted in some incredibly fun characters for me as I try to put together not only a fun combo, but create a story (always a must for my long-term investment) for that character. Anything else I could say has already been mentioned dozens of times, but I wanted to toss this one into the ring.

I have a Shield/ Street Justice tanker. I like him, aside from the fact that even with one End Red (sometimes 2) in every attack I still blow through endurance quickly. I keep a full tray of blue insp so that I don't have to stop and rest after every fight.
