megaericzero Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Er, right. I'm with you. I'm just counterpointing Saiya's assertion specifically that rage is thematically intrinsic to super strength in media. Mechanically, lump me in with the "just swap it with Build Up and rebalance the raw damage" crowd. (For porting to Scrappers/Stalkers; leaveit alone on Tankers/Brutes.) 2

TheMoneyMaker Posted March 27 Posted March 27 6 hours ago, Saiyajinzoningen said: Fact is when most folk think super strength they think hulk I feel like more people think of Superman which is not a claim that he's stronger --that's a different argument-- just that he's a more recognizable super strong hero 2

Saiyajinzoningen Posted March 27 Posted March 27 There's a lot of chars listed here Anger Empowerment | Superpower Wiki | Fandom Its easy to criticize a suggestion but can you suggest an alternative?

Luminara Posted March 28 Posted March 28 2 minutes ago, Ghost said: Do you know where that bear came from? Pine forest to the south of the Lumiverse. There are three bears living there. I started seeing them the year after I moved out here. This one's been coming to the cabin for the last couple of years, and is comfortable enough with me to relax and nosh on cat food while I stand 15' away, talking. I'll be petting him within the next few years. 4 minutes ago, Ghost said: Maybe PeregrineFalcon threw it there. That would be an act of war, one to which I'd be forced to respond with an assault of such ferocity and immensity as to destroy the very planet on which we stand. Since we still have said planet, clearly there was no war, so he couldn't have thrown it here. Simple deduction, my dear Doctor @Ghost. 1 1 Get busy living... or get busy dying. That's goddamn right.
A.I.D.A. Posted March 28 Posted March 28 22 hours ago, Player2 said: With talk about replacing Rage with another power and rebalancing the attacks to make it viable for scrappers floating around, this could be viewed as an opportunity to fix Super Strength (for tankers and brutes) later. As in do it different for the scrappers/stalkers and see how the set plays out with changes. If it goes well, then look at that data as a means to address issues with the brutes and tankers version of the powerset. Fix what we have that's broken before porting the broken thing to other archetypes. As it stands, Titan Weapon and Street Justice are perfectly thematic stand-ins for Super Strength as a concept. 2

Haijinx Posted March 28 Posted March 28 19 hours ago, Rudra said: Personally, I think if Rage was just renamed to like Adrenaline Rush, there would be less complaints about it. How many times have there been requests for replacement powers for Rage that were mechanically the same but had a different name? I already have Dibs on Bunny Foo Foo gogo time, sorry.

Haijinx Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Next there will be another post about how Super Duper Man never fights mad. Then someone will suggest a second set called Might to just change 1 power they don't like the name of. Then someone will claim again with only weak anecdotal justification that Rage doesn't change the set's performance. 1
Haijinx Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Oh wait but Spider Legs man has auper strength and he both never gets mad AND is a Scrapper, even though Marvel Comics isn't the COH RPG.

As it stands, Titan Weapon and Street Justice are perfectly thematic stand-ins for Super Strength as a concept. I disagree. TW and Street Justice look nothing like Super Strength. They feel nothing like Super Strength. I dont see it at all as a replacement.

I can imagine Rogue and Supergirl doing those moves and they have super strength. 🙂 That said, I agree, it's as I've said for why we need more Defense Sets...the feel! I want a SS/INV Scrapper who's hurling a boulder! Maybe Scrapper's version of Super Strength can have it were it's considered a must have attack 🙂
