See the difference? I don't expect I'll ever pick up a comic book and see the superhero In Silent Lucidity fighting an evil plot to conquer the world by he villainous Not Without Incident.
Look, up in the sky - it's a bird, it's a plane, it's... uh... Let Them Not Weep?
Say you are that editor of the Daily Bugle or the Daily Planet. The big front page story you had almost ready to break for your next issue turned out to be all wrong, so you need a replacement front page story by morning.
Which of these two headlines would you go with?
Ainfean valiantly thwarts a deadly plot to detonate a nuclear device in Hackensack New Jersey by the infamous Let Them Not Weep
The mysterious winged hero Cloud Ranger single handedly prevents the notorious Atom Master from shrinking the entire city of Seattle
However, I do think that Revolutions of Ruin would make a great villain group name at least, much better than a name for an individual villain. -

That is highly unlikely. As an example of why, I have in front of me 2 different games for the Nintendo Wii: Dance Dance Revolution: Hottest Party 3, and Dance Dance Revolution: Disney Grooves.
In both of them, if you wish to do so, you can completely dress up male characters (both built in, and Miis) in any of the girls' outfits, and vise versa, no gender restrictions whatsoever.
Ratings on these two games? E (for Everyone). Well, Disney Grooves is plain E, HP3 is E-10+ (Mild Lyrics/Suggestive Themes).
So no, this would not change CoH's rating at all. -
Well, if it does work, hopefully the devs "fixing" it is a non-priority, as there does not seem to be any valid reason other than mule headed stubbornness for keeping heroes from having this title.
-
Perhaps setting one's title as Pilot would keep the title even though the badge itself would turn to Grounded? That may be a workaround for heroes who want to be pilots. Anyone able to test this idea?

Actually it's the civilian disguise of Priapus, God of Virility. He transforms into his godly form by slamming his 'staff' against the ground and calling out, "I. Am. SORRRRE!"

If I were to take a hero all the way over to villain alignment, and then get the Pilot dayjob by hanging out near a Black Helicopter for 21 days, would he get to keep his pilot certification when he switches back to hero? Or would it get revoked or otherwise reverted to Commuter?

Quote:The smart thing for Serge to do would have them (at least the Tsoo) go out and defeat 20 Tsoo, like he makes everyone else do. Problem solved.Originally Posted by warden_de_dios
The Outcasts have been wearing those run down rags for 7 years. About time the dropped the influence on some new dudes.
I wonder if Serge makes them kill 20 heroes in order to open a new costume slot.
And now that it's been suggested, yes, I think this was done with Wormhole, since there were also a bunch staggering around stunned in there. And doesn't Wormhole stun as well? -
That warrants a hearty and heartfelt golf clap.

Looks like the problem between Serge and the Tsoo is escalating. I just logged in one of my characters to get her Trucker badge (she is parked at the Steel Icon for Fashion Designer), and lo and behold, what do we have milling about?
How did these guys manage to get in here? -

Now that fitness in inherent, they can take a travel power, and it was determined that Super Jump would be best for them. -

Jetpack costume recipes are what I would like to see. Costume recipes are a wonderful way of adding flexibility to what after 6 years have become boring travel powers.
Just like wings we could have a variety of recipes to choose from
Jetpacks
Hover Discs
Flying Carpets
Broomsticks
Helicopter Backpacks
Flying Boards
Roller Blades
Skate Boards
Pogo Stick (I'm spitballing for SJ)

Another solution is to use a confuse power on the trops tosser. If your secondary set has nothing for confuse, then you can always participate in a banner event and get the Seduction temp power. When she is confused, the caltrops will work against her and will not affect you.

best part is the misson is 2.2 miles from hospital. And i have no travel except tp and the end to get there requires me to rest halfway.

"To reduce travel time, be in a zone such as Atlas or King's Row when accepting tip missions. They are much easier to get around.
Tip missions take place in the same zone they are taken in, with the exception of a select few that are hard coded to a specific zone." -
Quote:This is one of the aspects of the game that rewards altitis. If you can resist turning tip missions into kill-alls (once you have a full load of tips), it should be pretty easy to blast through a set on a character, then move on to another character and do the same, and so on and so on, instead of just focusing on one character, and then waiting until that one can run tips again. Using enough alts, you can probably get a full PvP IO set in approximately the same amount of time it takes a single character to get 1 IO.Originally Posted by hewhorocks
A single PvP IO recipe takes 77 days to get doing the 5 alignment missions a day? Or 5 Months playing every other day, doing 5 missions a sitting? I understand the concept of rarity in all but wow that seems like a full time job.
This can be illustrated with a riddle I remember in this Star Trek Puzzle Book I had back in grade school.
If it takes 1 Vulcan 2 minutes to eat 1 Vulcan pear. How long would it take 10 Vulcans to eat 10 Vulcan pears? (or something to that effect). -
Avid Reader is missable for now. Also, on the villain side, Efficiency Expert can be missed. You don't outlevel it, but you do only get one shot at it (not flashbackable as far as I know, and running the missions with someone else also does not award it).

Quote:So heroes still can't get Pilot? So much for bothering to have any of my heroes temporarily side switch then.Originally Posted by Blue Rabbit
For a Hero turned villain, you have:
- Crey Test Subject (equivalent to Crey Employee)
- Cannon Fodder (equivalent to Arachnos Agent)
- Arachnos Traitor (equivalent to Arachnos Official)
- Professional Liar (equivalent to Demagogue)
- Gunrunner (equivalent to Smuggler)
- Grounder (equivalent to Pilot) -
Quote:That reminds me of an episode of Home Improvement, where the kids were getting ready for a party. Jill comes downstairs with a box of records and says happily that she found all her old 45s. One of the boys says "They let you have guns at your parties?"Originally Posted by Ironik
When Naked Gun 33 1/3 was released, my buddy wondered aloud how long before kids wouldn't get the title. Turns out it had already happened as we overheard kids the next day asking what the heck the title meant.
Oh and don't forget, "Don't touch that dial." -
My only prominent Walkman memory was seeing the ads for them, and wishing I could afford one back in my high school years.

Quote:Does anyone else recall an edition of A New Hope in the theaters where Han did not kill Greedo? I clearly remember when the movie made the rounds its third time (like a year before Empire hit), the encounter with Greedo went as far as "Yes, I'll bet you have", and then the scene cut away to the next Star Destroyer segment.Originally Posted by Innovator
I saw the movie the first day it was released, and I remember seeing this scene then. There was more to it as well, I remember Luke looking up with his Binoculars and seeing the battle between the Empire Star Cruiser Leiah's ship as well, and telling Biggs about it. Years later, I told friends about this scene, and they didn't believe me that it ever existed, until it appeared on a DVD. They were like wow, you really did see that, WTH Lucas!
For years I thought it might have been a damaged reel my theater got. But after the Han Shot Second incident, I started having severe doubts about the damaged reel theory.
It seems to be a hat design well suited for hot desert environments, I guess.Quote:Oh, and what was with Luke's Gilligan hat? LOL -
Quote:The greatest outrage with Ghost Widow is the unfair animated hair advantage she gets over everyone else.Originally Posted by OminousVoice
That's not the only thing Ghost Widow has an unfair advantage over. Her version of Soul Storm is mag 100, requiring 5+ tier 3 Break Free's to get out of it. PitA. Her immunity to the Ghost Slaying Axe is much like Stateman's or Mako's crashless Tier 9's. It's cheating, specifically designed to make the encounter challenging, whether you agree with the principle or not.

Respecs can also be purchased for 10 alignment merits. However, it may be more economical to use those on random rolls, craft and sell what you get, and buy a respec recipe from the market with plenty on inf left over.

You must have had a run of bad luck then. I am frequently aided by the likes of Silent Blade, Frostfire, Ravenstorm, Doc Quantum (I always make him help me instead of lead him to the exit), Overdrive, and others I can't recall. In fact, Overdrive has become one of my favorite sidekicks, even if she engages in Fusionette caliber recklessness.
Of course, there are several missions where the rescuees are not combat hostages, but they do often tell you so in one way or another. -
I just did another random roll. This was on a level 35 character, and I went with the 30-34 range. Here is what he got with what the best of the last five crafted currently show:
Entropic Chaos: Dam/End/Rech (6,000,000)
Touch of Death: Acc/Dam/End (20,000,000)
Touch of Death: Dam/End/Rech (15,000,000)
Kinetic Combat: Dam/End/Rech (135,000,000)
Impeded Swiftness: Chance for Smashing Damage (25,000,000)
The K-Combat was the big crown jewel of the roll. The Impeded Swiftness proc could have been, except that since it requires an Soul Trapped Gem, it would be better to sell it uncrafted, and get 20,000,000 out of it, instead of wasting the rare salvage for the same overall net take).
And in 4 days time, I will try it again with him, since it will take that long to get another 2 hero merits. He should still be 35 (from 36-39, they will be spent on individual pieces various alts need, since they will rack up fast enough that he would not be able to spend them all on random rolls fast enough anyway). -
