Willpower is kind of the fix to Regen in that it's very clearly a 2.0 design of the same set that doesn't have the "you're either invincible or you die instantly" problem of putting all your eggs in one basket so I have no idea what you'd do with the original one without making them even more samey More buttons and working Absorb in maybe but that also kind of brushes up against Bio's gimmick

if I just wanted to be OP Superstrength is my pick because Footstomp is just the most ridiculous power ever i have a personal beef with TW in that it isn't compatible with flight but it's not a bad set by any means

so i noticed something about Titan Weapons: It's got Defensive Sweep as its first attack on Tankers. Does that mean you get a parry that bruises everyone it hits as well?

my only disappointment is that Spring Attack from leaping doesn't cause the 8x "WHAM" SFX that Shield Charge does

I'm thinking of a Defender, Rad is traditionally strong and seems moreso with Defender numbers; what about secondaries though? Should I just eschew damaging sets and go for something with powerful riders like Dark? (I think I could entirely tank an enemy's tohit with Rad's toggle and Dark...)

Caidin posted:I'mma be honest, it bothers me that this extremely superhero MMO has little to no gorilla representation and that would have been as good a place as any. i remember champions online's big thing they advertised was "ooh look at how robust our character creator is you can make gorillas!" that was like the only thing that was noteworthy about the char creator lol

Brave New World posted:I'm in hard disagreement with this. CO's character creation and CoX's seem to perfectly overlap with each other's strengths and weaknesses. There are things I want to do in each game that I can't, but can do perfectly in the other. Overall, CoX's is easier to work with, but CO's has more potential variety(especially with faces). tbh I mostly remember the faces looking incredibly uncanny valley-esque and unpleasant, but fair enough

I usually just stretch Kinetics out for any concept that can like, bestow power or boons upon others like a wise sage or a tech doctor something because "controls friction and inertia" is an insanely specific and narrow powerset

I genuinely don't get why they don't start you off at the bank in Safeguards Having newbies fumble and fail them because they don't realise you have to zip *straight* to the bank, no matter how far away it is, is pretty kludgy design

MechaCrash posted:The way the banks work, not that the game explains this, is that the robbery doesn't start until you get close enough (250 feet originally, 50 in Homecoming), or after five minutes have passed since someone entered the mission. So while there isn't time to go dicking around all over the map, there is enough time to wait for everyone to get in the drat mission and get their poo poo set up. Huh, I didn't know that. It always seemed like "THE BANK IS BEING ROBBED" basically triggered immediately and you had to gun for it or fail. It might be the 250 ft. radius in live doing that, though

Brave New World posted:You just reminded me about something I had completely forgotten about. Near the end, we had a ton of recipes for limited use stuff like guns and baseball bats. Are those even a thing on Homecoming? I haven't seen a single one drop yet. If they're available, you could keep remaking those guns whenever you use one up. yeah but they'd be pretty weak since you can't slot them, could you I guess Dual Pistols/Ninja is the closest you'd get to making Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series though

FrostyPox posted:I remember a lot of people asked for a dual pistols scrapper set so you could make a kick-rear end gunfu equilibrium character and the devs expressly said they would never make a melee set that revolved around ranged weapons. I kinda wish Controllers and Doms got a Martial Control primary, like throwing nets and bolas and even more caltrops and other fun kungfu shenanigans like that

Yeah, there's been a LOT of improvements to it in its 8-year run but even back at 2004 it did a lot of things right that a lot of games even now still struggle or ignore, like play accessibility in the form of sidekicking/exemplaring (which only got better and more streamlined over time).

Harrow posted:Having also not really played it when it was live, I can absolutely see why people missed this game so much. There really isn't anything else like it, and other superhero MMOs look so rigid and conventional by comparison. I honestly can't think of many MMOs that I tried back in 2004 that was remotely as accessible; I tried maybe FF11 which I pinged off really hard because it was inaccessible since I never played or got used to its Everquest-like structure, and WoW had not come out yet

Dr Tasty posted:How exactly do you build for AOE damage as a melee person - scrapper, brute, tanker, or otherwise? Is that a thing? I've gone with a few groups and am not really sure how this all works. The mobs seem to melt as I struggle to ready up a power to hit a single target. I get how it works wtih blasters and controllers, but not scrappers. I am having trouble sticking with a character, because I don't really understand how all of these power sets and power combinations work at a higher level and want to try out everything. I don't exactly have a lot of free time, so I don't feel great about committing to something until I know more about it. Is there somewhere that has a breakdown of all the power sets and how they play/feel? If you want heavy AoE on a melee character, Spines and Claws are both great for it. Most standard sets will have one good AoE attack (usually a point-blank AoE), but those sets in particular have multiple.

HPanda posted:I think some of these mission door locations are busted. Just took on a mission to rob a bank in Cap Au Diable while the Luddites attacked power lines nearby. So I entered the mission by going to...Port Oakes. A small, out of the way motel in Port Oakes. And inside that motel was the famous Cap Au Diable bank, complete with gremlins who emerge from Cap Au Diable's powerlines. The real evil behind everything in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles is the passageway connecting doors to mission instances

Hakarne posted:For a Brute, do you think I'd be better off softcapping melee + AOE or melee+ ranged? I can do 2 relatively cheap and maybe all 3 if I want to spend like 2 bil AOE tends to be the rarest type of attack, and almost always has the highest amount of recharge time after the alpha strike so I'd focus on Melee and Ranged if you can't get it all

Thundarr posted:Apparently I'm an idiot, can somebody break down for me how exactly I convert Incarnate Threads into alpha slot mats (i.e. Essence of the Incarnate)? I have gone through every tab and every heading and can only see how to convert shards into threads, but not the other way. Go to Convert > Incarnate Thread and you should see the ability to convert various rarities of ingredients for Threads. The recipe you want for a given Incarnate ability is usually the second recipe under Create.

Thundarr posted:OH! I think I see now. I was confused since those were different mats than was listed on the Create tab, but I actually had to scroll down on the Create tab to see the option to use those mats to make the ability. It wasn't letting me scroll down on that tab at first since I had to double click the slot, otherwise as soon as I stopped mousing over it the ability to scroll was lost. Thanks, I think I can actually get a thing slotted now! No worries, it's incredibly unintuitive since it's kludged into the existing UI and I had troubles with it first. And yeah, good catch with having to click the slot, and only then having the ability to scroll down. Glad to hear you solved it!

World Famous W posted:I actually didn't know that so my joke taught me something! This link explains it in more detail but essentially there's a diminishing return, and after a certain point the values fall off a cliff when stacking multiple of the same type of enhancement, and the rule of thumb is that 3 of a single type is as much as you can put in before it gets pointless

Relentless posted:Willpower's auto-taunt aura gives you +Regen, so the more trouble you're in the more you heal. I'm finding Willpower to kinda have trouble holding aggro with just its aura compared to other sets, so it might not be the "laziest" in terms of stickiness; something with a damage aura and AoE attacks (like Shield) would have an easier time of it, I think.

Coward posted:Wait, Shield has a damage aura now? No, I misspoke; Shield has the AoE charge which is real effective at grabbing aggro, plus the standard taunt aura (Against All Odds), so it's a bit better than a set that only has a passive taunt aura.

They're both good imo; Staff is also one of the sets with a Parry (and it's a pretty long cone AoE) so it both is nice for maxing out your defences while also grabbing aggro

Admittedly on a Tanker I was more interested in Staff for the sheer AoE reach for aggro management, but yeah, that's a good question.

Abroham Lincoln posted:Honestly I was real excited to make Staff work on a Tanker but the damage was so abysmally low that it just took ages to solo anything. I was around level 24 or so before I gave up with it, since even with IOs my Sands of Mu was doing more damage than my actual attacks. Ah yeah, I play with some friends all the time so I was happy to just pretend I was using a Spear (despite the really lame wood-thwack SFX) and let everyone else Blast away

Having the option to insta-switch and having the alignment missions be worth 40 merits is about the best of both worlds as you can get. You're not screwed if someone's calling for content you want to do on the wrong side, but the alignment system is still worth doing since it's about the most casual method to get rewards that doesn't require you to be in a storyarc/TF/Trial/etc.
