Clave Dark 5 Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Maybe they just chose to make it big to help the player not lose track of them. Tim "Black Scorpion" Sweeney: Matt (Posi) used to say that players would find the shortest path to the rewards even if it was a completely terrible play experience that would push them away from the game... ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ Clave's Sure-Fire Secrets to Enjoying City Of Heroes Ignore those farming chores, skip your market homework, play any power sets that you want, and ignore anyone who says otherwise.

Llewellyn Blackwell Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Well I can offer some possible answers to the why I guess. First and most obvious answer, it was just a personal design choice by the devs in charge of the visuals. 2nd could be some kind of dictate by Jack. Jack we know well was really into the myths and legends of the greeks and romans and D&D. He apparently ran D&D campaigns going back to his earliest nerd origins that would of fit in as double features with films like Clash of the Titans and Jason and the Argonauts. And in CoH lore the gods of the greeks are just basically sentient energy life forms that feed off of our psychic energy. So hell I dont know maybe a Phantasm is like ground zero baby god in the making. Like if one Phantasm had hundreds of ill trollers all focus their power on it, what would it become? Or maybe its like the middle aged guy buying a big truck as a ego booster, like being an ILL means your one of those who feel powerless directly so you make your psychic drone this larger then life superman?

Especially when history already had a better melee/shotgun combo. Meet the Howdaha double barrel muzzle loaded pistol shotgun ( typical 12 or 20g) traditionally loaded with one shot, one slug and fired both at once at the face of tigers by pack elephant guards. Now what is not easily seen in the picture is the butt of the handle, its heavy from a thick nasty bit of brasswork that turns it when held by the barrel into a right proper war hammer. the kind that could finish of a wounded tiger with a single swift brutal blow to the skull. Something like that converted to a modern cartridge weapon would be far better as some kind of zombie apocalypse/end of the world weapon imo. 1
