    I'll have to make sure my speedster slows down whenever there's a Squall ahead of me, though.

    Everyone knows it's impolite to pass Wind in public...

    Kinda makes me feel like an airhead that I didn't think of this stuff first XD.

    Ah well, at least the Wind set went live before the s*** hit the fan! We all know how hard the Devs work to clear the air after anything goes wrong!

    Loving the set too! And I haven't been around as much, so for me, it practically got pulled out of thin air. :) Time to scatter some villains to the winds!


    *wobbles*

    Whoa... think I overdid it... that practically knocked the wind out of me.

    Hmm, we will have to figure stuff like this out of course :).

    But don't worry, I'm sure we'll get the blow-by-blow here on the forums. Someone's bound to detail all the easy-breezy goodness in the Combat and Powers section.

    Since I have no ability to pun (It's my secret weakness), I shall answer this seriously.

    Yes any repel in any form counts, and it counts even if it doesn't repel so long as it attempts to. I don't know if applies to 'suction' powers which ARE repels just reversed like Ebon Rift or Gadget's T4

    Now the question... what will you name your new Wind toon?

    I think I will call dibs on "Cirrus Business." A local weatherman by day... ruthless mercenary by night. His Nemesis could be Rob Mahogany. lol

    I'm sure there are better ideas out there, though. Share yours! :D

    I'm planning on bringing my wind tester off PTS and adding Ice & Elec to her. I still need to decide on powers but with wind out she'll be easier to layout.

    Name wise:

    Weather Ma'am: Mistress of Meteorology

    Name's a bit goofy but I was staring at the girl I made and couldn't think of a name. I wound up liking this one though.

    Well now I guess when i'm fighting with people unleashing their wind powers behind me attacking baddies while I attack those in front of me, I guess i'll truly will have the wind at my back.

    Also, I have sneaking suspicion someone's already made a wind toon called it "Silent Wind of Doom"

    There's a typo on the Archetypes page. The Squall is called The Scourge.

    Just saying.

    See, SEE!
    Even Cryptics own web page didnt' want to suffer the name of "The Squall"!

    Take this message to heart Cryptic!
    Rename the AT "The Storm"!

    Some little things on the website (not sure where to put this)
    Archetypes page:
    1. 'The Squall' link at the top links to The Unleashed. I guess someone forgot to change the link.
    2. 'The Scourge' text appears in the list of premium archetypes twice, once where 'The Squall' should be.

    I suppose the coders were just too excited to get the wind powers up and running! :3

    Haven't bothered with anything else than Hurricane, but that power alone is really worth it. Leveled a toon from
    11 to 33 last night (with Halloween exp bonus) :D

    I wouldn't say "immensely" but I do foresee a substantial energy per tick rebalance coming for it. With Second Wind, I mean "Wind Reverb" it's just excellent synergy.

    If anything, Hurricane proves Cryptic can design a power set that works if they want to, as opposed to say, Power Armor or Celestial.

    Well, they kind of used Tempest already (apparently under the assumption that anyone who used Electrical powers wanted to be Storm, not Livewire).

    Since the power Hurricane also first was named Squall the AT should maybe also be named The Hurricane ;)

    The Storm is maybe too much Marvelish :o

    Loving the new wind powers.

    I was seriously tempted to make a Squall and name him "Leonhart", but then I realized if I did, I'd have to punch myself each time I played him.

    Then they could license the Scorpions song for the video, if they haven't already... :)

    Edit: Actually, one of two songs - either "Rock You Like a Hurricane", or "Winds of Change". :D

    This set really makes me want to restart my first character.

    "Green, black and blue; colors in the sky!
    The storm of justice, blowing evil away!
    Kaze Ningen Chou!"

    I miss my little butterfly. But I can't bring her back yet... Not until The Mad Banana stops being mad at her... :(

    Is the squall, the one with the wind powers any good?
