now drop that old subject

Also, if you really want to discuss your powerset then you should probably start by answering some of the questions that people have asked you about the powerset. We're not going to be talking about your powerset if you don't.

like i said before i didn't steal anyone's work i got inspired and made my own end of story

[Rudra]

Let's try this then.

 

Question 1: Out of the 9 powers presented, which ones are auto powers, which ones are toggles, and which ones are exclusive toggles?

 

Question 2 (and 3): Mercury is listed as a cone power that gives the using character an increase in max HP and a boost to toxic resistance. What makes it a cone? How does it affect enemies or allies in that cone?

 

Question 4: How is resisting mezzes or psionics, or boosting Perception, a metal thing? (You also have a known toxin, a metal liquid at room temperature that is readily absorbed by the body, granting toxic resist for some reason.)

Not how things work. It's a suggestion forum. Your suggestion leaves a *lot* to be desired in implementation. It's barely past "Powername - does stuff,"and one power didn't even have that. You follow up by generally copping an attitude - which you do in pretty much all of your posts. How many times have you just put out "do your research"as an answer - or even a full post?

 

No, you don't just get "positive feedback." If all you want to see in response to whatever spaghetti you throw at the wall is öh it's wonderful!"and sunshine and rainbows, it's not happening. You get feedback - both on the powerset, which is how it started (even with someone mentioning Ï like the idea of a metallic powerset, but..." which *could* have led to discussion back and forth - "This is what I have in mind, this theme, oh, I need to clarify this, and it's different from that set in this way"- but, instead, you chose to respond with attitude, and attitude, and more attitude, while showing an apparent lack of understanding of how this game works.

 

Also, if you want people to react positively to you? Cut out the:

type responses. It'll only get you to JRanger level popularity... and that's not a good thing. (No, you're not getting your own slash response either.)

 

And yes, it would *definitely* help if you actually put more of a description of just what you're trying to achieve with it. For instance, if we didn't have a fire armor set (yes, that means you have to pretend, here,) and you wanted to suggest it, sure, list power ideas and what they're doing - but a little extra behind them, and maybe an overall theme. "Fire in this game tends to focus on damage, damage, and more damage. I'd like to suggest a fire armor set with a focus on damage. It's not a defensive set, but all resists - obviously it can resist temperatures, being fire armor, but imagine, say, bullets melting before they hit you - so it's a resist. Plus it has powers to assist in dealing even more damage in return," and so forth.  This way you can see what the poster is thinking of, both in theme and for the goal of the set, and how the powers would fit in - as opposed to what you posted, which was pretty much just power vomit.

 

What we have from you is a list of power names, with a comment farther down that sounds like you want them to be exclusive to one another, and a crapton of attitude that just makes people want to throw you on ignore lists.

[Rudra]

I'm not going to develop a full metal set, but some thoughts on how I would have tackled a metal set:

 

Metal Hide: Auto power that provides smash/lethal resist and defense. Defense because a metal armor is supposed to be good at keeping the blow from penetrating to injure the wearer. So I would presume a natural metal hide would also work the same way.

 

Heat Treated: Auto power that provides fire/energy resist. Also provides additional smash/lethal defense/resist.

 

Insulating Coating: Toggle power that provides energy/cold resist. Also provides mez protection because armor sets get mez protection.

 

Hardening: Toggle (maybe auto?) power that provides additional damage resist.

 

The theme is a generic metal defense set. Could be iron, steel, gold (despite how bad it is for armor), silver, unobtanium, whatever. Player decides what the metal is. And I just threw some bits of metal treatment with the added insulator (maybe an underlying rubber layer or core, or some sci-fi external coating) to expand the resists. No special visual effects in this version. So it can be used with available armors in the costume creator without overriding them, or more subtle metal themed character appearances. (Edit: Maybe the visual effect can be a radiance of some type like one of the auras to show the metal gleaming?)

 

I'm not saying this is what your set should be. I'm giving this as an example of something other players can look at and start making more informed decisions on.

If all you want is an echo chamber, this forum ain't it.

 

It seems this thread started with some constructive criticism, but you couldn't handle that.  Remember: constructive feedback good; attacking people who disagree with you bad.

 

Think about which category you've put yourself in.

[Greycat]

But @Psyonico, I could swear I just *heard* an echo...

 

Well, read an echo.

 

... Can you read an echo if you're not a cardiologist?

This is the magic blast set all over again - the OP is conflating WHAT a power set does/provides with the background story/roleplay reasoning behind HOW it does it.

as you guys say you can pretend and make up any story you want about the power

Metal seems like a set that can be done with the other sets and costume pieces.  I'd rather see new sets that don't focus so much on what amounts to needing FX over the character so much that it winds up a lot like Elec/Fire/Bio/Dark...I'd like to see more Inv/Regen/WP graphic sets...in that they can be minimal in additional FX

That would be Echo the Dolphin, a Sega Genesis game.

Then you shouldn't have posted in the forums.

You are going to get feedback.

You aren't promised only glowing fanboy praise for what you contribute.

Yes, it's called "Roleplaying." See, that would be the RPG portion of MMORPG.

 

By the way, were you going to answer any of the myriad of questions people have asked about your metal powerset? You're not going to get the undying praise that you seem to want, but you might convince some people to actually like your suggestion.

 

That's not going to happen if you just keep scolding people and refuse to talk about your powerset though.

[Rudra]

No, he isn't. His sole response to even daring to ask for more information is to thumbs down the questions.

[EmperorSteele]

I don't know what you people are all so worked up about. This is the best suggestion I've ever seen! No getting all worked up over numbers and math, no over-involved details that get in the way of RPing the set how you want, no "look at me I'm so clever" new mechanics... He cut the BS and got straight to the point. And look, he used icons, folks!

 

Icons!

 

Style over substance, baby, that's the way to do it! =D

[Yaliw]

I got a new set idea that is similar to this. I call it Noun Noun.

 

1. Noun : gives mitigation number

2. Noun: gives other mitigation number

 

That's all I got so far. Let me know how to fix the set and come up with powers 3-9

[Psyonico]

I like how the OP is literally thumbs downing every post.

[High_Beam]

Thanks Gene Siskel!  Now I feel as loved as Troo!

I think I need to do some research first
