smnolimits43 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 My brother would say that doing the same thing, with on change is Insanity. Well i keep doing the same thing, over and over and over. What i need from you guys is to pick a set of powers that i don't normally play. So the question is, what do i normally play ?? I find i play alot of characters. Lately it has been a homage to highlander, Naruto, Jedi, Thunder Cats He Man, and the list goes on. I'm more of a ranged character. Some powers i haven't tried are Dark powers, seems to evil to me. I haven't really given electric controller a real chance. I don't want to play any type of Energy Blasters, too many DBZ characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried them all and they're rather fun. Alternatively, give a zombie/cold mastermind a try. Lastly, I've had good results with an earth control/pain domination controller, (though this one only really shines on a team, IMHO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about a Storm Blast/Storm Corruptor or a bots/electricity mastermind? Are you only looking to play homage characters? If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing the same thing over and over again is not insanity - it's just rhythm, habit, cadence - some find comfort in this; others, boredom. Insanity is: doing the same thing over and over again AND expecting a different outcome each time you do it. 🙂 So, of the characters you listed, they all have swords, which is melee - and you state you prefer range.... so your insanity is playing melee each time and still expecting to shoot stuff. 😄 Well, how about breaking your mold - pick a Blaster, Corruptor, or Sentinel, and instead of creating an homage... just create your own unique hero/vigilante/rogue/villain. I am sure you know enough about the game to know what you like and don't like. You've seen other sets you haven't played and they might look neat. Pick a combo, create your own concept for the character, and try it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greycat Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Do this - and stick to it. Some people have set this up in the past - I'm sure there are threads. But get a set of die, or a random number generator. First number? AT. (Skip Kheldians and VEATs - well, don't *skip* them, give them a try, just don't use them for this.) Second number? Depends on how many choices there are for the AT, but primary powerset. Third number? Secondary powerset. Don't look up builds or anything. But commit to playing this to at least 35 (though 50's ideal.) Some will be *really* rough, some will be incredibly easy. Alternately? Give yourself a "One of every #####" challenge - one of every melee primary, but using different ATs. One of every some-power-type - say, electric (control, melee, armor, blast, support....) - paired with like powers or not. Or something like one of every control set to 50 (got through all the Control sets on live once... then they introduced ELectric. I *did* get that to 50 too...) On live, I used to do reverse-"flavor of the month" or "right FOTM, wrong AT." For instance, fire/kin controllers were a thing. Well, I had a fire/kin... corrupter. Or play a kin/fire tank. Energy/Ice was a FOTM blaster (dont' recall if that was just PVP or not,) I ran Ice/Energy just because. Or just come up with your own little challenge. 15 hours ago, smnolimits43 said: Some powers i haven't tried are Dark powers, seems to evil to me. Powers are whatever you want them to be. And sometimes what you recolor them to be. I've seen Dark Armor, for instance, get recolored to be "Sand." Go Desert power. Yeah, it's one "lore-bit" I wish they'd remove - "Dark gets its power from the netherworld" in some descriptions, since I've seen it also IC explained as, say, clouds of nanites for bots/dark MMs (for instance.)

I also have a ICE/Dark whos dark powers are colored like his ICE blasts. 6 hours ago, KC4800 said: How about a walking taco that poops rainbows? C'mon no powerset is that cool.

InvaderStych Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) 16 hours ago, smnolimits43 said: the Puppet Show If we're talking the Muppet Show, there are 2 (well, 3, technically) obvious choices: Go deep on it - setup key binds to spam team chat with random noises and a lot of shouting of your own name. Go even deeper - build binds and macros to trash-talk your targets. Or go Full @Snarky and use the binds on your team. 😉 I suppose you could use your powers too, but I'm thinking outside the box entertainment value here. 🤣 Edit: Actually, if I was inclined to Dual-Box a trash-talking Statler and Waldorf homage would be hilarious. A lot of work, but completely hilarious. Double Edit: Actually don't take this one. I think Snarky and @Luminara should team-up this combo and go full ham on PUGs. Mostly Kidding ... Mostly.
