Scarlet Shocker

They did her great for that series and it worked great. She had a great role and was central to the plots of several seasons.

Taskmaster That's literally his skill.

Who gets to decide? I think skill is a relative metric. Truthfully I don't actually care so long as I am skilled enough to complete the relevant task set and enjoy the game.

I see a lot of threads about stuff but never a general discussion

I bought myself a new Legolas amplifier the other day. It goes up to elven

One thing we've not really covered in this thread (at least my cursory inspection of some posts give me that impression) is that IOs (and doubly so for invention sets) create a whole new reason to play a character. That in itself was great for the game, players and characters. Whereas previous to IOs, often people would roll a character, play to 50, fill it with SOs, complain about ED, respec it properly, shelve it and move on to the next. With IOs and inventions it gave characters a new lease of life and a life beyond simply reaching level 50. That in turn added a lot of new dimensions to the game which by definition rebalances (but not unbalances) it

Your blind friend, the one with the white stick? I think he's seen them already.

KM is one of the few melee sets I love. It is slow, and perhaps it doesn't pump out damage that some sets do, but it does give the impression of doing serious thumpage. I love the look and feel of it on my tank, even if I'm not an expert on tank attacks.

I don't know how you play so I'm not aiming this specifically at you, but it could well be that you are one of the more below averagely skilled players (for the record that's also where I am) That doesn't mean the game isn't too easy, it probably is for the majority of players. That said, "easy" is a very relative term and difficult to evaluate easily [sic] but I do feel that we are often spoon fed many of the goodies on Score and HC that were challenging to obtain before. It bugs me a bit, but as others have explained very eloquently there are reasons! and I totally understand them To a large extent this is "you can please some of the people some of the time..." Bottom line is I'd much rather have this game as is, than not at all.

oooh... so can we change sounds per character?

Now that sounds like the mod to own them all! Anything I desire... anything at all? /em eyebrow wiggle and moustache twirl

I've never really used mods so this raises a couple of questions. As it stands those clips would annoy the living daylights out of me, though I respect the intention of the OP/Modder If you mod something like the sounds, would those sounds be heard by every PC in that encounter, or simply the person who's modded the files? Can those sound clips be changed by players? Personally I fancy a bit of Coltrane or Davis and maybe a bit of Ornette Coleman or Charles Mingus for the higher damaging powers 🎶

good find! I'd not seen these before

Always sad to lose a respected player from the game but life goes on. Note to mods: It was posted in GD because it would get some notice. Respect it and leave it for a week please. Moving it to a literal graveyard seems disrespectful

You are correct. Everyone else's reality was better. Seriously, much better. MUCH MUCH better. Your reality was worse. Of all the realities you could have had, you chose the worst. It's on you. OR fate. You decide who to beat up 🥰

You do realise that every interaction you have in game and on the forum takes place entirely in your own mind, without input from anyone else at all, ever? You know that don't you?

The concept of sidekicks was brilliant, and utterly comicbook lore - the classic being Batman and Robin of course. But what the reality showed was that very few players were genuinely interested in "mentoring" a lower level character. They were willing for them to be on the same team but that's as far as it usually went. Also, as some of the posts in this thread make clear, not everyone even now understood it so that led to confusion and chaos and more than one or two faceplants. So I just prefer to assume it's done with now. I know where I am when I'm on a team unless things have failed horribly <points above> and hang with the big boys without fear of things goingw wrong beyond my control

That could potentially be lethal, and work well solo. I'm a big fan of earth - it's a very solid set (pun intended) and I've had a lot of fun with both a Fire/TA and even more so a Plant/TA which rawks! The main criticism you can level at Earth as a set is it's slow to kill but I would expect the number of debuffs from TA to speed that process right along.

Well done!
