And the amount of complaining about how 2GM is a high-tier power seems odd, considering Burst Shot exists.

Got an e-mail from them today, and saw this: The Specialist Archetype is being given away for FREE until March 3rd at 7AM PST! This Archetype is normally valued at 1,150 ZEN, so get it while you can!

Yeah that's a nice AT, even if you're subbed you ought to claim it at least. Thanks for the heads up! This certainly does not have anything to do with Deadpool being a gigantic smash hit movie. e: If they apply this philosophy of allowing a lot more build choices for ATs everywhere else it would be a very good thing.

There's one cohort that wants to play "Deadpool," and there's another cohort that want's to play "Pooldead (Original Character Do Not Steal)." The first plays Marvel Heroes, the second plays Champions Online (and before that City of Heroes).

Marvel Heroes actually has too much loot, which is not something I'd have imagined myself saying about a pretty good ARPG. Also you're stuck playing Marvel's characters, instead of your own Captain Shitpants or whatever. Making your own dudes is/was a huge draw of CoX/CO.

WarLocke posted:Making your own dudes is/was a huge draw of CoX/CO. That's just the bottom line of it. If you want to play Spiderman or Iron Man or whatever, you play Marvel Heroes or another hero game licensed to Marvel/DC. You already know the character you want, you can go out there and play them - Marvel Heroes' character and outfit selection is so staggeringly detailed for the Marvel universe that I doubt they lack any character a fan would want to play as. CO/CoX lack of limitations, aside from clones, means just about any sort of idea is free-reign. So while you cannot be a direct 'clone' of an existing character out of outfit or name due to legal issues, you can certainly be something slightly inspired by them (which actually fits CO fairly well, because even the existing characters are strongly inspired by existing properties - Defender is extremely similar to Iron Man, for example.) Probably more importantly is that the degree of powers and costume pieces offered by the game means you don't have to limit your inspiration to just american superhero comics. Or even comics for that matter. Your characters can be as superheroish, or cyberpunkish, or noir, or anime, or retarded as you please.         That really is the big thing CO/CoX have going for them. DCUO as well a bit, but its costume editor on whole really is a lot more restrictive, and since most costume parts are tied to specific characters, that either means you have to plan ahead to get certain costume parts to make the look you want, or, what usually ends up happening, you just look like an MMO character by just using all the rarest stuff on your character.

I stopped playing DCUO a good while back, but from what I remember the costume part selection was heavily skewed to random robot armor bits and other grimdark poo poo. There was basically no support for actual tights type stuff other than the (bare-bones) starting tights options. Also the community over there is toxic as gently caress.

City and CO let's be play a robot dressed up as a wizard. Or "Casual clothes guy with a mask, cape, and baseball bat" named after the Emote for hitting things with a bat. Oh my gently caress why is it so hard to get a loving BASEBALL BAT in CO/DC? City itself let me have mastermind dance offs where my summoned robots would Micheal Jackson crotch grab as another player's Zombies did the robot. Man I should totally lazily light people on fire while using regeneration in this game again. DPS is great but sometimes you just want to torch enemies without every worrying about dying unless it's a boss or you pulled half the area.

Looks like the PTS is getting set up with a new Halloween (???) event: https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/champions-online/news/detail/9844993 Meanwhile the PTS is also balancing more powers and ATs, and making new ones, including this: http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline#/discussion/1204520/fc-31-20160210-15-nightmare-invasion-rocker-archetype posted:Costume Absorb Heat's a self-heal that consumes Clinging Flames to make yourself healthy again.

I know Brimstone can do it - that's actually the core of my INT Heavy Weapons build, dropping a flame patch with Brimstone and then unloading free full-charge attacks with Thermal Reverb until it goes out. There are other HW attacks that add Clinging Flames with perks, but not as well as Brimstone does. EDIT: They're adding some more clinging flames interactions to HW powers, too: http://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline#/discussion/1204520/fc-31-20160210-15-nightmare-invasion-rocker-archetype There's also a lot of little changes across the board. Celestial gets a new heal/harm power, Shadow gets a bunch of poo poo shuffled around (And they're finally nerfing Voracious Darkness, the bastards!  ) I really like that they're adding Trauma to lots of places. gently caress you, Ao'Qephoth.

Yeah I should've mentioned that a ton of the HW abilities were getting fire functionalities of various types. For example, Cleave just straight up applies clinging flames sometimes. Earth Splitter (cylindrical ranged attack) also can do this, and while this isn't a new patch thing, Magma Burst on Eruption can also achieve a stack. One of the older patches, I think from around February? actually rebalanced Ao'Qephoth so that he overall healed much less, making him much less tedious to battle. Probably the biggest thing was making his passive healing much weaker from his passive. It was around the same time they tweaked Skarn's Bane to not remove enemy passives (one of two main methods of making Ao' much easier to beat.)

My character is not at all a might character, but for a fair while I put Haymaker + Nullifying Punch on him just so I could punch Ao'Qephoth right in his stupid worm face. It was worth it.

For infernal supernatural is going ego, dex, int any good? It only seems to proc on the epidemic damage and not the poison ticks. I get str/dex for dmg but I have no idea how to figure out what 3rd stat is should use.

Seems to have been engineered specifically to keep players busy. That said, the majority of current players feel super-discouraged by it probably because nobody feels like they can consistently do the lair, and it does give out tokens somewhat slowly. (12 GCR daily, 7GCR for 2 runs after that.) Tenzarin posted:For infernal supernatural is going ego, dex, int any good? It only seems to proc on the epidemic damage and not the poison ticks. I get str/dex for dmg but I have no idea how to figure out what 3rd stat is should use. What other attacks are you doing? All toggles, save Compassion, only trigger off of directly using powers. So in other words, you'll only be stacking if you're actively using poisoning infernal attacks like Epidemic. Ego/Dex/Int is ok, but maybe a bit heavy on pure damage. I'd possibly look into getting a threat-drop move such as Evasive Maneuvers if you plan on using this combination. Int might not be the best stat to trigger Supernatural Power off of, Infernal isn't exactly heavy on recharges, and you already have Ego to scale up your damage on Aspect of the Infernal Concentration stacks. If energy management is an issue for you, End or Rec could both work. Because with proper energy, a Supernatural character basically should never have to use their Energy Builder at all. Supernatural Power is ridiculously good. Because of how demanding most alerts/lairs can be, I'd totally take CON as one of the superstats. This would remove the need for taking aggro-dropping moves and facilitate more upfront survival. I'd probably go as far to say that Ego/Con/Rec could be a good combination.

I was terrified that they were going to completely destroy my silver AT Devestator by changing the CD on Eruption(my bread & butter attack that does knockup)from 2 secs to 8, but it turns out that the recent changes work pretty well. It may actually even be a stronger build, due to Eruption now being an AoE. Crisis averted.
