I got my UNITY missions this morning, but you never know with this loving game. Does anyone know for sure how exactly the Burning Chi Fist Advantage that adds Dimensional Damage to your attacks works when used with a maintain like One Hundred Hands?

Nah, to the best of my knowledge the combat log is fine, you'll just have to parse it all yourself afterwards since there's no DPS meters or anything. It's just that nobody ever bothers since it's, y'know, Champions Online.

I only use the training dummies when picking powers. Sometimes I just really don't like how a power feels when I use it, so I've gotten the hang of going to the Powerhouse to try things against the dummies if a power looks kind of iffy.

When do dailies reset exactly, anyway? I know one's 9pm local time or 4am EST, but there's another one early afternoon that I haven't been able to exactly pin down yet.

Yep! CO basically took in all the dregs from CoH. I used to RP too, but the RPists in CO actually made me quit entirely- not even PnP gaming was any fun for me  Hence why it's so fun tormenting them.

More specifically, when ChampO came out it had a much more flexible costume creator (CoH's was good, but it's always had certain... limits) and offered much more in the way of animal-themed options, drawing all the crazy nutso furry RPists to it.

For once I'm glad to hear that furries are swarming to something, because it means Club Caprice won't be quite so barren of people to make fun of.

Something to note for anyone new to CO- the game is much lighter on copyright infringement management stuff than CoH tended to be. Mostly because there's no real way to report people for stuff like that, (all you can do is flag them for spam) so there's a lot more of it here. On the upside, you can get away with just about anything you want along those lines, and the archetypes kind of seem built to encourage it(Iron Man movie comes along and we get power armor, The Old Republic launches and we get a laser-swords-and-lighting-powers AT, Dark Knight Rises hits and we get a whole batman type set, etc). This is why you see long-standing supergroups based around Marvel or DC or Transformers or whatever all over the place. It's pretty weird, coming from CoH.

I think it was last year when I posted about how I felt kinda bad for making a character that was basically a ripoff of Marvel's Sentry (who is himself just Marvel's take on Superman). Then I went into the game and saw like three Iron Men, at least one Spider-Man, and four or five Hulks (all with different names, or in most cases "just different enough" names). And suddenly, I didn't feel so bad about my character.

I used to be a kneejerk copyright-infringement reporter in CoX. Deadpool? Wolverine? Master Chief? Nope, gently caress you, you're getting petitioned. I think it took like, five minutes in the Renaissance Center to stop me doing that. You just... there's too many.

CoX was so strict on it because Marvel threatened to sue them for infringement once. ("Uhhh your main dude has a mask that looks like Magneto's helmet. Magneto invented that!") I'm guessing CO never had to go through that.

That's not to say there's still a bunch of stigma against it. Whenever I see a clone character, all I can think is "You have all these possibilities open to you, and the best you can do is just copy a common character?" Of course, this statement doesn't apply to people who turn said characters into robots. Or humanized bombs. Still, I feel like the majority of the CO Playerbase still is in the dark about the truth of Cryptic's policy on clones.

I'm guessing something broke and they haven't reset from yesterday, that ever happen before? I'm sorry but as Jew I just have to say something here, I am deeply offended at your use of the word "Jew" to describe the act of "cheating the exchange" I think the term you meant to use was perhaps maybe to "G.O.P." or "Wall Street" the exchange instead of a serious ethnic slur. Why you weren't punished by the mods for this is unknown to me as I have seen less stinging insults and affronts to human decency get folks here punished. Hopefully the mods or someone will see my post and take appropriate action.

So I've been told that the new 4-slot gear available only from lockboxes are potentially the best gear in the game since they don't follow the formula of "more slots = less innate stats".

Confirm/deny? Cryptic, the reason Unusuals are so popular in TF2 is not because they make you objectively better. ...Then again CO has always had the trend of 'gently caress non-subscribers', so technically speaking this is a step forward.

It costs roughly $50 to buy one of them, so don't worry about it. Also gear doesn't matter.

Alright, I want back in on this. I need something that isn't DCUO to scratch my superhero itch. I can't remember but is the Might AT good? I want to make a crazy sortof Street Shark guy. Think something you would see in the Action Figure aisle in the most beat up, run down K-mart in the country.

Tried Champions for the first time since launch weekend and I have to say it is a much better game than I remembered. It's really super simple to grasp at first while pretty fluid in combat. I've had fun playing with some friends from CoH/V up to level 15 so far.

So the interceptor vehicle completely breaks the game, if anyone was wondering. Forget lockbox gear, this thing is a complete gamebreaker. You can move in combat as fast as about tier 3 flight, can actively kite any mob to death thanks to your guns and speed letting you fire out of their range, and you get a number of abilities that basically have you spew explosions everywhere. And that's before you get into the fact that it has fairly decent HP, can instantly recharge it's energy bar, and doesn't need to deal with energy builders to get energy back. Also, the basic attack costs no energy and can slaughter normal mobs. It's glorious. Also, apparently one of the new upcoming alerts takes place on a SHIELD style helicarrier high in the sky. It's designed for flight and vehicle users, and from the sound of it has you fight on the deck of the ship against a horde of destroids and megadestroids. I'm guessing they'll launch it around the time they launch the tank and grav bike prototypes. Which means I fully expect to be able to be able to launch my character off of the helicarrier while on his bike, and crash it into a giant not-Sentinel's face.  They had better not cock this poo poo up.
