Scarlet Shocker

well if you know of any I'd welcome a reference Here's one: https://homecoming.wiki/wiki/Dead_Man's_Tree_Badge

Not to my knowledge but I am highly inexpert in the use of said wiki. Other minds may have better answers

you left the "iant" off the end of that. Your abbreviations are confusing people!

when I say blizzard I'm talking about a sound effect of a howling wind

Yes I'd considered Ice Mastery for exactly the thematic reason but I'd also given some thought to Psionic and Primal Forces though they are less comfortable thematically. I misread Arctic Air re stealth and I might have been confusing it with Arctic Fog from Cold Domination (not available to Doms) so thanks for the correction there. I try and avoid Cardiac as a matter of course because it seems that it solves the Endurance problem but at the cost of a lot of flexibility. I often look at Agility, and hadn't considered Vigor here but both might work, thanks! Thanks. This is gold. I typically try and avoid using damage procs, I've always felt there's better alternatives but I guess this is an opportunity to try something different. Thanks all of you for some great input! Oh and I love caltrop like powers so I think I will take it just to double up with Ice Slick (Caltrops is one of my favourite places to slot the freebie KD proc that P2W gives - and that proves to be excellent damage mitigation ) How good is Jack Frost? I found the blizzard sfx to be super annoying but I also figure he can be renamed Prince Rupert (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert's_drop) ) which makes for a very nicely fitting theme (and he looks quite glassy) but I don't know whether he's a good enough pick

I'm trying to build The Glass Fox - see for reference I went for this form of Dom because on paper it seemed to fit the bill in terms of performance and more importantly concept, but I've got limited dom experience so I'd appreciate input from those who know better than I. At face value this seems like an outstanding support toon but I'd like to ensure it has high solo survivability. She needs to be very stealthy (think Thief) and mobile - I know that Ice has a stealth power but is that sufficient? I also quite like Weaken Resolve as an early opener to give me that extra debuff, and Combat Jumping for when fighting I'm not familiar with Ice Control, and less so with Thorny Assault but from the description of the powers Thorny Assault looks like it gives a good range of melee powers and Ice also lets you get up close and personal so that might be an area to explore. As for EPP/PPP Im undecided but it must reflect [sic] the concept of glass. GRateful for all input, thanks

If you know the Location of places you'd like to visit please post them here preferably with /loc coordinates so this can remain as guide for future use! Thanks

that depends on how you define "Mostly" Are you suggesting that of all the devs, over 50% are now deceased? Or are you suggesting that each dev, when taken at a macro level, is more dead than alive? This seems to be apposite;

My global is @Riff and I will be on Crimson Charger outside of Wentworth's AH in Atlas Park

Surely if they were formerly live they would simply be dead but yes, the title did give me that vibe!

we shall endeavour to find out!

Yes... that kind of solution occurred to me. I might try the one I moved to Runion with that... but I like having the distinct avis and power sets I think this concept has a lot of mileage throughout the game though and can be achieved in ways we've not even thought about yet

THIS!!! This is excellent! I hadn't even thought of that, but it does have the disadvantage that you're not changing the single most identifying characteristic which is the name of course. I've moved Vitric to Reunion as a Blaster and I've recreated her on Everlasting as an Ice/Cold crupper. And of course I've found Vitric's theme tune too - it's kind of old, even Snarky might remember it

I'm not entirely certain where you're going with that other than a name change? Are you suggesting she should somehow be turned into glass by an external force?

Ice Control/Thorny Assault... Stealth, Teleport and Ice Mastery as my EPP I think we might have cracked it guys. So... I've got Vitric Vixen at 2osomething but I'm quite enjoying the notion of an Ice/Cold crupper --> Ice/Thorn Dom

I don't mind trying it on Excelsior. As you say, may be more interest. Then let's make it so. Let's meet in Atlas by the AH - close enough to get attention but not so close we don't know who's in the gang so to speak. I figure we can form a league once we have a few folks with us?

OOOOOOOOOOOH!!!! "Good" power sets don't bother me as such. I play for fun, and often I find being less than amazing = lots more fun. I have limited experience of Dominators but I've been playing one recently who rocks, a Mind/Rad so I couldn't play another Mind/ so soon but what about..... (gotta fire up the gaming rig to check Mids) something like Sonic/Thorns for that "cut glass shattering shriek" thing and the shard look? Guys I've really enjoyed your input into my crazy stream of consciousness. Thanks again. I've yet to make up my mind completely because new ideas keep coming in all the time but we're getting somewhere! Keep 'em coming!

(for the record I agree)

throwing this out here informed by the above but - Ice/Bio Sentinel. It works thus: Vixen gets defeated, Glass Fox takes over and becomes more resilient. I'd probably take stealth. I don't enjoy my limited experience with Sentinels - and I'm sure I would not enjoy this but it kinda fits with concept but is also possibly a bit close to Hyde/Hulk

Shall we go on Monday at 8pm GMT/12 PST/3EST? Any GMs want to get involved? We might enjoy some of your magical powers and company too

Wow this is evolving fast. Thanks for your input. Of course one hero I didn't reference and should have maybe is the Sentry where their alter-ego is the Void a dark aspect. I don't see her as that fractured but essentially what I'm trying to do here is play two ATs as one character almost simultaneously. That's a point I think I didn't make well enough in my OP - the AT is almost secondary to that aspect and the mechanics of making it happen are challenging and escaping me. On the other hand Glass Fox does have a theme tune (please forgive the disgusting intro) As to your suggestions: On live I had Snowfreak, who was a complete monster - an Ice/Energy blaster who just shredded things and this was pre-Invention stuff. For those of you who have long memories and played on Defiant I even beat Kung Fu Steve in PVP on her and he was considered to be on of the very best back in the day. I could remake Vitric Vixen and I do like the thought of an Ice/Cold crupper. But whenever anyone mentions Ice/Cold I think of Alex and John Mills worshipping that pint! (reference for the truly old) @Akisan, I like your thought process but I generally dislike melee toons. The only melee toon who's ever given me much joy was Invincible Woman, my Elec/Kin tank. But... and I'm thinking out loud as I type. I do like the kind of "tricksy thiefsy" character you mention. (As an aside one of my all-time favourite game series was Thief) so that would fit well in my comfort zone but that character doesn't really exist in our game. I'm presuming you're referencing maybe Catwoman, Black Cat... I'd got half a mind to reference Fox from Wanted (the comic not the awful movie.) The closest to a thief I can think of in our game is a Stalker and Ice/Ice Stalker doesn't... it has the glass aspect down but it doesn't get my juices going. I'm trying to figure out how this character works - Vixen is the hero, bright, white hat, all of that but maybe when shit hits the fan her Glass Fox alter-ego comes out who is mean, vicious, cunning (as per the proverbial fox) and probably a damned sight harder and more dangerous than Vixen. Perhaps when that happens, her survival mechanisms kick in and her charm takes over so although she's got the glass stuff going on her charisma entices civilians and innocent bystanders to rush to her aid (Thugs/Cold MM)

you may be misremembering. No servers were merged but around I19(from memory) when Freedom arrived, both NA and EU servers were conjoined. No servers were lost - in fact a new shard was created as the player bases were joined up.

No, I'd prefer not to play two sets the same. I could have one set in common but I'd prefer to play something variable... since I wrote this I've been thinking that The Glass Fox might do something like refract light - so there's an opportunity for multiple colours there but I'm struggling to think off the top of my head what might give that effect? Rad with lots of colour work in the costume creator?

I was inspired (as occasionally happens) with a character concept that (as often happens) begins with a name. In fact two names, interlinked - a character made of glass; Vitric Vixen aka The Glass Fox This then leads down a train of thought - are they two people with similar powers ( but I don't want to play two characters the same ) or are they twins or something? Am I channelling my inner Khonshu and choosing someone with MPD to do my bidding? I have a feeling it's the latter... but not necessarily mental disability more a case of one person with a "refracted" personality, who splits from one persona to another - good/evil, lots of mirrors etc. Vitric Vixen was relatively easy - an Ice/Ice blaster with a few spiky bits with pale blues and I'm pleased with the concept - able to project glass shards at enemies to shred them and bring them to their knees. The Glass Fox (for some reason "THE" definitive seems very important here) - less obvious and I've gone with a placeholder set because I don't want to get bogged down with ice but I'm leaning towards say a glass corruptor and a villainous personality. I've created a character redside for her but there's more work to be done. I'd like them to be the same person but moving in time and space more like Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse 5 than Jake Lockley/Marc Spector/Moon Knight - but able to have similar experiences within the game so they understand what each other sees and that's where I'm struggling to execute my cunning plan. How do I realise these in game? So far I've made two characters, one with a very wooly build and backstory one who is quite solid and sharp, a pleasing character. Lots of metaphors going on here obviously but that's part of the joy of it. So I figured I'd throw the concept open to the community to see what you good folks can come up with and welcome your input. for reference: vitric adjective vit·ric ˈvi‧trik : having the nature or quality of glass : resembling glass —distinguished from ceramic (also why isn't vitric in the HC forum dictionary database?)
