It should be a Devouring Earth-centric SF that culminates with the Hamidon destroying some kind of facility on the island that becomes The Abyss.

I just want to quote this post (not necessarily to call out you, specifically, Supertanker) to point out that people seem to have a real complexity addiction when it comes to “solving” Rage, coming up with more and more complicated alternatives. People like Rage for its simplicity. To this point specifically, they don’t have to make an entirely new set just to make it possible to port to Stalkers and Scrappers, they can just port Super Strength without Rage. It’s not even that hard, I proposed a way to do it here. That would also be a decent way for the opposing sides to meet in the middle; if you like Rage as it is, you can keep playing Brutes and Tankers as you already do, and if you hate Rage you can play Scrappers and Stalkers instead. They already have something like this in place with Street Justice where if you want to be awesome and powerful you make a Stalker, and if you want to be lame and weak you roll it on one of the other three ATs that get it. 😜

No, if they want to wipe you, you’re getting wiped. Your bottom must be cleansed, you filthy animal.

Is this a serious question?

Ha! Converted one!

The 10 Winter packs I had listed for 24,999,995 inf finally sold! Really came down to the wire, huh.

You've basically just designed AR with Aim, four of the powers are direct lifts from the set and two more of them are essentially the same as two other powers from AR.

That thing where you get a better understanding of something by having to explain it to someone else?

A completely untrue exaggeration! As I recall it took two shots, because Hamidon had more health than the hard cap on how much a single tick of damage can do.

Gathering a team of unwitting lowbies to hit the debt cap in the Cavern of Transcendence Trial is a CoH institution, so I hope the upcoming changes to the trial don't indicate that Homecoming Team is losing sight of this storied tradition.

Of course not!

No character, player or NPC, has a portrait in the game files. All portraits are dynamically generated by the client in real-time as soon they're needed for a window, and not a moment sooner.

Changing the market's inventory has to be done by getting all up in the market server's guts and doing it by hand, they can't just pull a lever to switch it on and off like the rest of the Winter Event. Whoever does that just hasn't done it yet.

Slag Golems are made of garbage. They're literal trash mobs. They just have the occasional girder stuck in them.

The number of player listings has only gone down about 100 packs in the week since I posted last, so I don't think we're gonna make it to the seeded packs. If people buy and list like they did for the past year, they won't even need to reseed them after the winter event ends.

I'm pretty sure it’s Breaking Uppercut

Hey what's this note doing here? I thought it was a mistake when that made the patch notes last time.

Thats not analogous to what Force Fields are supposed to be, though. Force Fields are supposed to be a physical barrier between you and the enemy attacks, not just padding or armor. If the Fantastic Four are fighting, like, spider monsters and the monsters try to inject them with a poison or web them up and Sue Storm (who is a major influence on the set) blocks it with a force field, there’s gonna be no effect on the team, because those attacks did not land at all, they were blocked entirely.

I don’t think Absorb fits thematically for Force Field. They’re supposed to be a barrier that prevents attacks from landing on you at all, but Absorb still lets those attacks land, and you also take all the debuffs attached to those attacks.

It’s been known for ages that the issue 0 contacts are largely carbon copies of each other, I’m genuinely surprised the wikis were never written to reflect that.

We're down to triple digits of packs above the seeded packs. Might we actually see the end of player Winter packs before the price drops again in ~2 weeks?

More of a feat of Super Reflexes than Super Strength, though, isn't it? He clearly just popped Elude.

Where in the tutorial does it tell players about the auction house or /ah? Nowhere that I can recall. And what new player is gonna look at the inspirations the tutorials give you and think, “I bet I can sell that!”? One thing the tutorials do do, however, is get you to level 2, which quadruples the cost of amplifiers. New players who who are taking advantage of amplifiers just do not exist.

New players can't afford Amplifiers even on live. The only way they could possibly scrape together enough inf is with marketeering tactics they are absolutely not going to know.
