First and foremost, hasukurobi, thank you very much for explaining my point. Very cool of you. One thing--you seem to be assuming spinnytop is attacking me (please correct me if I'm wrong about this). At no time did I feel that way, Spinny was just trying to understand what I was talking about. My first post was badly…
-
No, that isn't what I meant, either. Sorry if I confused you again, I'm done with this.
-
I never said you were responding to the OP. I said I was, at one point. When I mentioned "building up" Con, I assumed everyone was smart enough to know that I wasn't talking about ignoring your main stat that works with your form. That would be stupid. (I actually think you guys are that smart, but misinterpreted me, and I…
-
Yet another reason I don't expect it to happen.
-
I'm not entirely convinced that cosmics shouldn't be instanced. Then the zone max wouldn't be a issue. Still, I don't really expect the devs to change this now, we'll just have to get used to it.
-
There's nothing wrong with being burned out on a game. It happens, and maybe a break would be good for you. Barring that, try Teleios Ascendant and any other content you haven't done yet. Some people mentioned Mechanon. Maybe try to come up with a build to solo him? Just be forewarned, your fingers will feel it at the end.
-
Er, even later response, but the OP was asking how much Con was needed on a DPS character, basically. The OP said nothing about forms. In suggesting that Con could be used as a superstat, I wasn't addressing forms, or anything about them. Why would I? That wasn't what the OP asked. I also never said anything about getting…
-
This post wasn't meant for the OP but was an answer to others who thought I was attempting to scale a non-existent form off of Constitution. Please consider who I am speaking to before attempting to correct me.
-
In a previous comment, I said: And I repeat, I wasn't addressing forms. I also wasn't suggesting Con as primary or stacking Con specifically for a damage bonus. I was just mentioning that taking Con as a superstat would have the side effect of increasing your HP. I hope that clears up my meaning, I guess having two or…
-
I don't think that's manly. It's at best the lesser of two evils. This does not apply to the Punisher, however, because he abandoned himself to killing. He isn't in a war, he kills criminals. He has no legal right to hunt down and kill criminals. I do agree with what you're saying about the avoiding mistakes and abuse.…
-
I believe I already acknowledged something like that. Here is my reply to flyingfinn: Not the EXACT point you made, but close enough, right? I'm assuming you're referring to "dollars" and "cents" and how we usually use "dollars" by itself unless the price of the items is typically less than $1.
-
Another comics story that I'm aware of that somewhat applies here: When the Green Goblin dropped Gwen Stacey off the bridge in the comics, Spider-Man was unable to save her. He swore revenge and went after Goblin, but at the moment he could have killed him, his moral limits stopped him. Goblin had no such limits and tried…
-
Maybe that's why they did it the way it is, so people could shorthand it into just G's without extra typing? Prevents you from selling a lot lower than you intended. Good point, I hadn't thought of that.
-
In an older story, Jamison admitted to himself that he was jealous of Spider-Man, and his only recourse was to tear Spider-Man down. I don't know if that still factors into his character, however; it could be outdated info for the current stories. (What you said also applies, of course.) Luthor is a selfish egomaniac.…
-
Jamison, unlike Luthor, has limits. In one comics story, he endorsed a politician because the politician was a "law-and-order" fanatic who intended to reign in super heroes. Jamison was informed that the guy was also a bigot, however, and immediately told the guy off and endorsed someone else. I doubt Luthor would endorse…

:open_mouth:

I have 2 comments on this. Note that I mean no insult to any of you, and respect your right to absolutely disagree with me. #1: "Anti-hero" is the same as "villain". Anti- means the opposite of. "Anti-heroes" are created by weak-minded people who are obsessed with fictional revenge. (FICTIONAL revenge, not real revenge,…
-
Congratulations! Make a new character inspired by new addition! (Or not, he won't notice the game for a while yet.) ;)
-
They mean globals, b/c the color of the coin icon is gold. (Nationals are 'silver', locals are 'copper'.) Honestly, this currency system is silly. They should probably just make it one big number & call it 'resources', since that's what it is anyway.
-
Cool. It can keep running as long as it wants. There are some 'armored' boots you can use (default ones, even) that come up a little past the knee. You're not wrong though; the game has elbow pads--wouldn't knee pads be a logical option? (Remember to change the material to cloth/leather if it looks better with your…
-
Yeah the last time I had a Nemesis, the minions would show up as untargetable and immediately disappear. They worked right for a while, then just went perma-fail mode. (Note: I erased that character, that stopped them...I think.)
-
Lip reading?! With characters that use cartoon mouth movements? Hahahaha! Good luck with that one.
-
Thanks!
-
Good gravy, all that dialog during a fight. Don't they have something better to do? Like shut up and fight??
-
Heh, that may not work unless everyone's forgotten about the band.
-
I said, "I wasn't challenging the value of a form". I wasn't addressing forms in my original post. Someone else brought up forms. In my first post, I was pointing out that your three superstats enhance your character regardless of what they are; if you take Con, the superstat bonuses (including damage) are the same as they…
-
Once again, I wasn't challenging the value of a form, nor was I suggesting using a form that scales off Con (or doesn't exist, about the same thing, apparently). Honestly, would you give up that 64%?
-
I would use the force energy builder if it didn't knock back. Such a weak power should at most knock down--if you hit while approaching you can knock mobs out of range. I'm saying this because Force Bolts would be a good energy builder in general (no chaining, fits with melee crushing damage for those who prefer to damage…
-
Then Misty can be the new sidekick summon. :)
-
Yeah, or that.
-
I really hope this doesn't sound as though I'm trying to be annoying. All three super stats increase your damage. That's part of their overall significance. which makes them meaningful. And I didn't say anything about a form scaling off Con. You can scale a form of one of the other two super stats. Did I miss something…
-
True, but the OP said: So I was actually commenting from that perspective.
-
Side note: though it may not fit your character theme, the block from Power Armor (Energy Shield) has a higher across-the-board block percentage (rank 1 is 270% instead of 250%). Of course, you'd still have to block on time for it to do you any good. Depending on what kind of damage you're facing, you could also consider…
-
You don't have to take it off the tray. Set it to "maintain" in the options menu. When your finger is off the button, the EB won't be auto-firing. Better than waking up dead every time your computer gets ornery.
-
New characters--the Vaporizor and his sidekick, Misty.
-
Burning Chi Fist Removed Fists of the Righteous Flame advantage. This advantage has been moved to Intensity. So...you removed the extra damage and moved it to a buff power with a long cooldown. Anyone who used this for the extra damage now has no reason to use it. I suppose it didn't fit with the new mechanics, but…
-
Yeah, I said {cut&paste} Support Drones. Two bots who follow you around, healing you and allies. Can be hard to use on some builds since they get blasted apart by AoE's. Otherwise, very nice and gadgety. So I do know about the AoE's thing. In fact, I'm not sure that can be mentioned enough. And medical nanites is a…
-
Interesting ideas, though it could be argued, I suppose, that Gadgeteering is already a support set. More options would still be nice, of course. We'll have to wait and see what they do.
-
Umm, what?! Exploding molerats?! Hahahaha! I've never played any of the Fallout games, so I've never heard that before. Thanks, I got a good laugh out of that!!
-
Well I'll be, something else I didn't know. Unfortunately, if they removed it, they probably won't put it back in. Oh, well.
-
Interesting points. However, considering that gadgeteers are supposed to be both super heroes and super geniuses, they should have an aversion to what is essentially a gun that performs human experimentation. Not being overblown about this, the game isn't real, ya know. But that point you made about some side effects being…
-
Yep, I can confirm. Aside from the one free FF slot Cryptic gave us some time ago, all my FF slots are bought with $$ (on sale, of course).
-
No one said anything about "free", so I'm going to assume you mean relatively free, as opposed to the $50. I've already described $5 as "crazy" and $10 as "too low". (You may have missed these details, I don't expect you to have read everything 50 times.) My thought was a somewhat lowered price would benefit Cryptic by…
-
Heh, one of the reasons I've only had 1 level 40 after playing for almost 5 years is that I don't respec higher-level characters. I restart them instead. (MAJOR trade-off, but I'm weird.) I even did that when they redid the Glacier and for some reason didn't give us a respec.
-
I wasn't complaining, I was suggesting (assuming that was at least partly meant for me). As I said, I think a somewhat lower price would benefit Cryptic; as I also said, I could be wrong about that.
-
I would complain if FF's were $10--that's too low! But you aren't wrong about mentioning sales, sorry if I sounded like I was against that. I don't want anything for free, I want to be able to earn/buy things in different ways, including buying FF slots via buying zen that doesn't require $50 a pop; even people who farm…
-
Interesting. Thx for the reply!
-
Hey Sterga, nice to see you! I don't really expect this to change, either, but it never hurts to mention it. I'm curious. Are you assuming I don't know about sales? Also... I'm curious again. Are you assuming that I care for content that yields questionite? And is it 100% likely that I'm the only one who feels this way…
-
Hahaha! True!
-
All three of your superstats increase your damage, do they not? That means if you have Con as a SS and build it up, Con will contribute to your damage just as any other SS would. I guess players don't try this because they want Ego-Dex-[EnergyStat] or Str-Dex-[EnergyStat] (or Dex-Xxx-[EnergyStat] for maximum damage.…
