Wait, it's not Mandala Effect?

I think if the inhabitants of Paragon - heroes included - weren't somewhat jaded they'd go insane.
There are literal demon-summoner street gangs at the lowest end. In a vaccuum, that must cause a lot of hand-wringing; are these literal servants of the Devil? Extradimensional creatures claiming to be 'demons'? Then as the threats rachet up, you get evil spirits posessing average citizens and summoning more, infections that wrack and twist citizens into the most terrifying threat seen in recent years (Lost/Rikti), fairly large street gangs of mutants roaming the streets (and more importantly from a RP perspective, giving a 'family' to ostracized mutant youngsters), all the way up to world-threatening monsters like the Devouring Earth stalking the fringes of urban areas.
From an out-of-game perspective it's all there to give our characters stuff to fight, but from an ingame perspective it must be terrifying to live in Paragon, where fascists demonstrate in the streets, Mafiosos and high-tech goons batter each other and cut deals in alleys, and you could get jumped on your way to your car by someone who plans to chop you into pieces for spares.

As a side note, you can fly over the stone wall, yes - but if Mudball (and maybe another power) had -Fly maybe that's not such a big limitation.
Me, I'm imagining a couple Tellurics building deathtraps penning a group of foes in a corner or something...

What do you think this is, some kind of west-side story?
=POf course not!
Talos Island is in the *east*.

Per Requiem's message, no, there isn't. He is the only non-wolf anywhere in that world.
Pretty sure they mean a look at a *different* Nictus-y Earth, one where instead of everyone becoming a Warwolf something different happened.

My own Mandela moment is this - am I remembering wrong, or did mobs once (in distant memory) aggro nearby mobs when they ran?

Will we get a clash with another gang, and a big dance number?
"When you're a Warrior, you're a Warrior all the way..."
(Gotta subvert that "Waaaaaariors! Come out to plaaaa-aaay!" expectation.)

I suspect this in confirmation bias.

There's a spot on the hull of the Mothership that Rikti have always had a little trouble getting stuck on, but it's happening a LOT more lately.
This spot:
...and it's mirror twin. It makes pulling the outermost Rikti difficult because they seem to really like pathing through this spot, and then getting caught on the ledge.

With a demon summoning powerset it seemed natural to make a demon character.

I need to mess around with LORA creation some more. My experiment the other day was in the right direction but... flawed somehow. It turned out a lot of very chunky lines when it generated images.
Meanwhile, I got Microsoft to turn out
which is a lot closer to how I imagine Horizon to be.

it would nice if there were a couple more attract effects in the game; the one on axe cyclone is super fun and it could really give a other other underperforming sets some distinctive flavor (like cmon just make black hole and aoe attract already, and watch everyone start wanting a grav controller)
I've been saying for FOREVER that Black Hole should be an attract - it's in Dark, not Grav, though. Grav has Dimension Shift, which I cannot for the life of me think of a better effect for without stepping on Dark's feet (the AOE Hold field).

As a Warshade, shapeshifts with power subsets associated with them.

Absolutely. I still have Bots MMs on the shelf from before they got the Maintenance Drone power.

Respeccing is a big PITA. I respecced my Widow after the recent change to them, and it really put me off the process for the time being. I think I may just lay off the respecs until/unless something MAJOR happens. I can't imagine going through with something like Peregrine Falcon said, respeccing out of ancillary pools off of all their characters. I'd have a stroke.
That said, I do have a crutch, in that I use two monitors: I screenshot my characters' powers and slots pre-respec so I have them available to reference. Same with being able to reference Mids on that other screen. Having to tab back and forth? UGH!

Didn't I read that the Monstrous Legs are a HUGE kludge? Something like it just turns your normal legs invisible and adds the second pair of legs on top of that?
-
My Warshade main, I generally play solo at +4x8; Warshades are largely considered 'suboptimal' but the large groups help with the self-buffs. As noted in another thread though, I've gotten to where if I'm in a Council tussle I just move on to the next group if one of the last bosses pops a puppo. I've got places to go and mobs to drain.

As an additional suggestion, I would like to add that I was severely disappointed that one of the teleportation options wasn't the big lightning bolt strike in the costume change emotes... another that would be cool... as would Rainbow and Light Magic.
The lightning strike is in the general Emotes selections, so theoretically you could make a macro for it.

I have a "cosplay" character, too - Monster Movie, a necro/dark MM whose costumes are all based on Universal movie monsters. If they didn't want a Frankenstein's Monster look-alike, why give us neckbolts?!

Pretty sure he's still playing this character on Everlasting.
Or... someone else took the name, because they're online as I post this.
No WONDER the next book is taking so long!

On the Copilot (formerly Bing) Image Creator, adding comic book covered a lot of ground that I was formerly using line art, cel shaded and the like, freeing up space in the prompt for other things.
It turned a prompt of
full body, style of artstation, phoenix, woman made of glowing fire, glowing bright orange skin, skin glowing with inner fire, bare upper arms, hair made out of fire, glowing red flaming eyes, wearing red tech bulky containment suit, shooting flames from her palms

Am I the only one that, when a doggo spawns and runs away... doesn't care? I just move on to the next group (because I'm a warshade).

Battlewraith Art

I look at it similar to the shift when photography became a thing and artists revolted against it. Artists shifted and new styles became prominent, and then the landscape settled again with photography being another tool in the artists' kit.
