Scarlet Shocker

I remember on Defiant back on live there was an event with GMs in Pocket D. They spawned all the villain AVs and many more so we spent a couple of hours getting all our badges. Lots of fun so I know it can happen but I didn't think the GMs would be able do it through incompetence 🤣

Radium was the component for watch lume back in the 1940s and the girls who painted the dials and hands would get terrible mouth cancer from licking the brushes to a point. Nobody knew this at the time of course. Most watch lume remains green... and Ball Watches (and other military watch styles) use tritium tubes which glow green 247365 for around 20 years. The tritium tubes were originally developed by the US military for gun sights. Tritium is very mildly radioactive but harmless. There are orange and blue tritium tubes used in watch dials but those seem to be less common and more expensive.

I believe one reason for not being able to change them is that the status effects need to be consistent so other players can tell what they are. If players have the ability to change the colours of status powers, then you're rather left guessing why Romulus has a strange blue glow around him... This could turn into a minefield and I'm not at all sure it's a good idea even if doable.

I believe back in the day, when PD first came into existence, all powers were suppressed. That changed at some point and now only combat powers are disallowed. GMs have the power to turn them on at will I believe but it's probably for the best that doesn't happen often

I dislike the idea of syringes, for a number of reasons but a "Spines Blast" set could be very interesting. Especially if there was a toxic or somewhat debuffing secondary effect.

I disagree. @Snarky sometimes pretends to be nice and even on occasion agreeable. I'm genuinely envious. I love mustard sardines. 🤣 (also, why is this not super rare [red] salvage?)

you're not supposed to macro in the bath!

Are you suggesting @Snarky is a scammer? How can that be? Scammers are blood sucking leeches who prey on the weak and helple... oh

Most of my invention salvage is more than cross, it's fucking livid mate!

@Snarky is loaded from all the donations he keeps getting. I'm sure he'll oblige if you tap him up for a Respec recipe or six

I've made a new toon; Foxy Frost - Beast/Cold. I will probably go LEviathan as a PPP - it's got some good defences and a nice AoE immob too.

ooh I love this. I am wondering if I can repurpose Glass Fox/Vitric Vixen to that concept now! I've also considered /Dark too

Well the fact that I have an incomplete understanding of the mechanics of Veng is possibly a clue to how often I take it but the sense of it seems rather... obsolete given how relatively easy this game is and how easy it is to survive generally. That said I'm currently teaming with a regular outfit and we are all pretty squishy so perhaps I'll think of taking it and experimenting a little.

I've very limited experience of Marine. I don't hate it but it doesn't seem to "fit" in the powers pantheon. I guess it does have that animal thing going on though.
