Millennium City Free Press reports, "Hero on civilian violence on the rise!"
-
Hm. Fair enough. Still, from a game design perspective, I kind of wonder. In my experience form powers are so good that pretty much everyone has one and it's considered one of the fundamental cornerstones of your build, driving other build choices. And when you make a 'choice' in a game where everyone chooses the same…
-
I generally play ATs which only have one form anyway and in the case of only one form it would be nice to simply have an 'always up' option so you never even have to think about it. That extra couple seconds at the respawn point isn't likely to make a game difference anyway, and there's no way to force someone's form off,…

It wasn't the light in Finland that bothered me, but the snow. I tell people that there are two seasons in Finland: snow and no-snow. No-snow lasts two weeks. And because everyone lives in snow all the time, throwing snowballs is a survival trait. Finns can throw snowballs around corners and make them explode in ice water…

Um... I use 'nailed to the ground' all the time in PvE. It's terrific.
-
There are content packs I enjoy and do just for kicks (Whiteout, Aftershock) and there are ones I despise and do at most once for the perks (Serpent Lantern). Heaven knows the Q and other stuff are not a big motivator for those - they just take too long. The Vibora Bay Apocalypse is probably my favourite - even though you…

Or at the least, require that someone physically be standing ON the teleporter to use it.
-
Um... there is a PBAoE force field that gives your entire team about a 100 points of invulnerability, which is pretty fantastic. It's on the impulse. You may not see it much, though, because it's a 'form' power so it comes at the price of a lot of DPS.
-
Um... I need all my points for, you know, doing damage and stuff. As a matter of fact, I can't even imagine spending points to upgrade my travel powers even if there were no vehicles. But since I can have any number of vehicles, I do instead use them for travelling and for playing around. Of course, to each their own.…
-
I never even thought of sharks! That's brilliant! And they're already there! You just need to put me on top of one! And by the same token raptor riding should TOTALLY be a thing. And raptor races! OMG! Can we have snacks to feed our raptors? My raptor that I don't have totally needs a snack! It's probably not appropriate…
-
Did Lost Hope over the weekend and the poor guy is mostly hopeless. He's got five powers most of which are of almost no use. I tried to get his paralyze power to paralyze but unsurprisingly with three-bar villains they mostly shrugged it off. His heal run power gives 60 hp per tick, but given that you have a bar of some 27…

Democrat candidate Andrew Yang thinks loot boxes should be controlled by the government. The 'children's commissioner' of the UK advocated regulating loot boxes in her 'Gaming the System' report. Just a few days ago Valve blocked the ability to trade keys for loot boxes in Counter-Strike because reportedly 'nearly all'…

This costume piece bites! Er... it doesn't bite! I mean...
-
Or farting immensely... For that matter, if Kurt can just open a portal and shove things through, what's stopping him from reaching in a pulling something OUT? "Look! I got your liver! Don't you need that?"
-
Most devs I know consider their game a labour of love.
-
The other possibility - which might not be to your liking - is to use hand-to-hand powers instead of weapon powers so your weapon-hand IS what is striking opponents.
-
I haven't done this in the last few weeks, but I can say that some of the Avatars are MUCH better than other ones. Sometimes I can whack both of them, sometimes just one, and sometimes it's a nightmare. If you're having a lot of trouble, I have erratically been able to lure one of the two off into a ditch, finish them…
-
Not only are there not shark-sized spaces inside a human body (even a fairly large human as we have here), but sharks usually rely on ripping and twisting off chunks of flesh. The teeth don't project out of the front of their mouths, so this shark has no real way to even take a bite out of someone he's inside. Large sharks…
-
So far as I can tell, the existing 'nemesis' alert that cycles in from time to time is even less popular that the pyramid burst, because it is usually a lot more difficult and therefore time-consuming.
-
Well this is the time of year for necromancy...
-
Why would anyone answer if they're only going to be called a liar?
-
I have recently maxed a half dozen characters and never once did Destroyer's lair when it popped up because that would have involved tracking down a bunch of other people who I don't know to run content I was unfamiliar with and they would probably want to rush to the end while I was looking through the windows and sure I…
-
Well, being Halloween, this IS the time for VAMPING. I'll see myself out...
-
I get harassed mostly in personal messages, and I can assure whomever got on my case that I am absolutely trying to offend you back. I think of it as chat PvP.
-
Arguably she's a police officer... why not put her by the police station? The teleport pops us right over there, and you can't do all the missions until around the time you get a nemesis anyway.
-
You can't use out-of-combat form-stacking as support for an idea because this is not intended and will eventually be removed.
-
One superhero game I played had a 'damage absorption' power which instead of turning the damage into shields or what instead turned the points into other advantages. So you could have someone who grew stronger as he got hurt more, for example. I twisted it so that it gave me more damage resistance. So if someone shot me…
-
And dwarves should consist of only beard slots.
-
How would this logistically work? There are a dozen zones, often with multiple instances. It seems like it would require either a huge crew or the acceptance that most stuff would be unmonitored anyway, yes? And where exactly is the line for enforcement? It's all well and fine to say 'no bad stuff' but an actual moderator…
-
Another (mostly) new one would be the negative version of all the defenses and buffs we have now. We have aura that raises the damage resistance of all allies around us... what about one that lowers the damage resistance of all enemies around us? We have a power that makes you really evasive... what about one that makes…
-
I'm going to completely agree with jonsills on this one. Make a new character and play the new character. Even all the way to 40. I personally tend to think of levelling to 40 as a kind of extended 'getting to know how your powers work together' tutorial. And if you need a broader idea than make ANOTHER character and level…
-
It would be very nice if Cryptic put out another aura video like the one they did for legacy auras (hint, hint Cryptic).
-
RAWR! I want to attack someone but I don't know who!
-
That's a good idea!
-
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the Imaginal Realms contain HUMANITY'S CONCEPTION of the divine, among many other projections of human ideas. Which would explain why there aren't overt duplicates - it requires the collective Jungian archetype to generate that kind of energy, or every human…
-
To be fair, I was gobstopped just yesterday because a co-worker had never heard of the Oort Cloud. Even pretty regular science stuff is not infrequently completely opaque to normies, much less the more obscure stuff like imaginary time.
-
Don't you see? Dino EXPECTS you to attack from the front. That's what it WANTS! You can't play into its game! Punch it where it least expects! Right in the cloaca! BAM!
-
Is the tote bag actually in the store? I couldn't find it, but maybe I didn't look close enough. Also I have poked many people with a stick after shooting them with the party cannon and am now only slightly less happy than Foxbat.
-
It is worth considering the other side of the issue. Rather than asking what fire is if it's not hot burny stuff, it is probably appropriate to ask what damage is. After all, we are heroes but we are not all invulnerable. Sure, Superman can bounce bullets off his eye and Neo can perceive and dodge bullets in flight, but…
-
I usually fly in the Mega D fights and the orange bubble never has been able to hit me at all. I concluded it was some kind of ground effect.
-
'Up' is the opposite of the gravitational vector. This is why, when you are in a reference frame where there is no gravitational vector (such as Earth orbit) there is no 'up'. That is what 'up' is.
-
They said it was all out, and it is all out. : p
-
Ah! My bad. I can't speak much for what happens after the apocalypse. I ALWAYS do the apocalypse but usually afterwards I'm 40 and wander off for other shinies.
-
I always thought they came from the all-catgirl parallel universe.
-
I like the last comment on the petition:
-
Really I'd just be happy for a faster way to ditch my nemesis for a new one. I'd give you cash money, Cryptic! DON'T YOU WANT MY MONEY?!
-
Ah! We're pretty close to a productive suggestion here. What you mean to say is that you want Therakiel's sword very badly and would appreciate it if the devs provided some way - other than costume contests - that it could be acquired. This is not an unreasonable request so far as I can tell, in that it uses existing…
-
Caliburn was trying to BECOME the archmage, which required him to possess all four elemental gems, tour the nearby planes of existence and receive ceremonial gifts from them, and complete a secret task that he alone knew. Presumably he did all those things EXCEPT acquire the gems, which were all atomized by Therakiel…
-
After the time-travel mission, Caliburn doesn't even REMEMBER any of the events, though Dr Ka seems to. I always assumed that things had returned to their original position - Caliburn has the flame gem and hasn't even gotten the various doodads we accomplished for him in the apocalypse.
-
Not everyone is good at everything. It's okay! Go do the things you ARE good at! Yay! And in the mean time you can enjoy the contests that other people participate in!
