  1. Build gurus I beseech thee! I know enough about Mids Reborn to load up and follow someone else's builds, but when it comes to the actual building part, yikes.

     

    My Rad/MA Tank Missile Man flies around with a, you guess it, missile strapped to his back. Hover, Fly, and Evasive Maneuvers is important for him. 

     

    All other powers are on or off the table as needed, I'd like him to be the tankiest tank a Rad/MA hover kicking tank can be. Extra movement speed/flight speed where possible helps out a lot. Appreciate the help in advance, any other questions let me know.

  2. Cosmic Corsair Backpack Option 3, Neck Ring Only:

    -Right now we have the ability to have the big ole back skull + neck ring OR big ole back skull only. The neck ring on this costume item is so slick and would work with a LOT of characters. I'd love to see it offered as neck ring only, perhaps as a Cosmic Corsair 3 option still in Backpacks or moved to Head Detail 2 if needed.

  3. Appreciate the help everyone, sticking with the original name of Missile Man!

     

    Here's another character of mine, Praetor Paragon. Goal was to use the laurel headpiece for a regal, Roman, yet modern superhero look,. Praetor Paragon is a Shield/Electric Tank.

  4. Got a new character and need some name help from my fellow costume/character concept enthusiasts: hyphen or no hyphen?!

     

    Introducing: Missile Man

    Bio:  Back in 1940s I was just your regular, run of the mill enlisted. During my first combat mission something changed, I was super-charged with electricity and pretty dang invulnerable. So the US government did what you did to "mutants" like that in the mid-20th century, strap a missile to 'em and see how it works out. Worked out alright for me, watch out for the Missile Man, comin' in hot!

     

    Question is, does this character name + concept work better as Missile Man or Missile-Man? Right now he's Missile Man, but I keep thinking maybe it would look better with the hyphen, but I'm not sold on it yet.

  5. Cross posted from the Bugs forum.

     

    This morning during the downtime I installed City Mod Installer and Vidiotmaps, not sure if its related, but I've never had this problem before. I only installed Vidiotmaps, no other mods.

     

    When I open the game, the login screen looks and functions normally, the character select screen looks and functions normally. When I get in-game however, the resolution is messed up and the cursor doesn't work. It acts like the cursor is about an inch to the right of wherever the cursor shows it is on screen. There is a black border around the top and right side of the screen.

     

    I've changed resolutions, changed from Windowed to Full Screen and back to Windowed.  I've restarted my PC, the problem is still there. The game is unplayable in this state, any help is much appreciated.

     

    Edit: Used City Mod Installer to uninstall Vidiotmaps, problem is persisting. Will update as I know more, thanks.

     

    Update: Did a reinstall and everything is working fine again.

  6. Update: Fixed this with a fresh install of Homecoming. 

     

    Note: This morning during the downtime I installed City Mod Installer and Vidiotmaps, not sure if its related, but I've never had this problem before. I only installed Vidiotmaps, no other mods.

  7. 10 minutes ago, Frostbiter said:

     

    So why did they make a failing movie then?

     

    The MCU Spider-Man movies are still Sony movies in partnership with Disney/Marvel, so they count toward using the IP clause. They would need a filler movie every now and then in-between MCU Spidey movies to keep it going I guess.

     

    I think Sony legitimately thinks each of these movies have a chance at launching a super lucrative Sony Spider-verse of movies. Also maybe money laundering? I'm with you on being bewildered at the WHY?! of it all. Venom makes sense, popular character, movies turned out OK, did OK financially. So they immediately pivot to Madame Web, El Muerto and Kraven?

  8. In my opinion, we should all be incredibly grateful for Madame Web, Kraven, and apparently El Muerto(?) being the movies Sony has chosen to make.

     

    Why should we be grateful? They could be putting these same no-talent, hack teams in charge of a Miles, Spider-Gwen, or Noir Spider-Man movie. They could decide to make non-MCU Peter Parker/Spider-Man movies again.

     

    At least right now Sony is only intent on butchering villains and D-list Spidey characters. As long as Sony wants to churn out cheap garbage, I'm extremely glad they're not adapting my favorite characters.

     

    EDIT: and I want to add, Madame Web might be D-list, but this still could have been a really good movie with a decent team behind it, the core concept of the movie is a good idea, just executed very, very badly. Sony just wants to hire cheap talent and make cheap movies, then they're surprised when the movies are cheap and bad.

  9. I usually have trouble making new villain characters. I've probably got 10-1 heroes to villains. I recently read an article about "zombie spiders" caused by a fungus that affects invertebrates. Introducing Cordyceptic, combining cordyceps (fungus) and septic, as in a spreading infection, does it make sense?

     

    A desperate scientist tasked with a project seeking mind and body control through cordyceps, with family threatened by Recluse for his failures, he injects the prototype fungus. He was proven right, but the fungus worked so well nothing is left of the scientist, just a husk being controlled by the fungus awaiting Recluse's orders. Necro/Dark Mastermind, he uses spores to reanimate the dead.

  10. After researching a bit I found out OpenArt and Leonardo.ai both have image to image or image prompt abilities. As soon as the servers are back up I'm going to work on getting some reference shots of Lightslinger and see how closely they can recreate his in-game look.

  11. These are amazing, wow. My first run with trying to get some Lightslinger art went pretty great.

     

    Is there a way to link an AI to pictures of the character then ask it to recreate in new styles/poses/etc?

     

    Attached my favorites I've gotten of Lightslinger from Bing's AI.

  12. Getting back into farming, it's been a while. As I understand it influence was nerfed in AE, anything else? Sorry there's been a lot of patch notes since I last farmed seriously.

     

    Are story missions the place to go for farming influence now? If so, does anyone have a recommendation of a good mission I could build a farmer around?

     

     

  13. Kids and I are playing through Lego Skywalker Saga on PS5 and it is amazing. Beautiful graphics, excellent combat with a bit more depth now, and a lot to collect. We're playing through story modes now, about to start RotJ. Kids aren't big into running around grabbing side missions and collectibles to 100% each level, so I'll go back and do that in freeplay once we're done with all 9 episodes.

     

  14. Ted Lasso is one of my favorite shows ever. I don't know a thing about soccer...er, football, but I absolutely adore this show. Ted is so earnest and positive, but the show explores that personality type fully, good and bad. The show's openness with regard to mental health issues is amazingly well done. 

     

    Highly, highly recommend a quick 1 month apple tv+ sub to watch both seasons of Ted Lasso.

  15. Here's another character I'm pretty proud of: Praetor Prism

     

    "Once a protege of Emperor Cole, Praetor Prism worked behind the scenes studying the science of light's hidden attributes, unlocking powerful abilities. After the invasion at King's Row and seeing Cole for the despot he really was, Prism hid his work and began sending Praetorian secrets to Ms. Liberty. Shortly before Cole was defeated a Vanguard team narrowly extracted Prism from Neutropolis." Praetor Prism is an Illusion/Time Controller.
