Zombie Man

Except that what he's describing in the video is being claimed to be an actual step toward invisibility and it isn't.

There have been other avenues of creating invisibility that don't use nonsensical and non-existent science and whose prototypes don't rely on flat out misrepresentation of what's being shown.

Umm... that's proof he's a charlatan.

The image we see of the pencil supposedly be made visible through the black cap is just the image of the pencil we can still see overlapping the black cap because of the refraction strata in the overlay. Slow the video down and notice that the image of the *tip* of the pencil disappears completely. All we're seeing is the bright yellow of the base of the pencil supposedly behind the cap.

If he put a marble behind the cap such that no other part of the marble extended past the cap, then there would be no image of the marble leaking through the cap.

He is either so batpancake insane that he doesn't know what he's talking about, or, he's relying on people he's demonstrating this stuff to be be so batpancake gullible or batpancake ignorant of basic science that they can't recognize he's talking gibberish.

They really don't glow. They just don't dim in dark light environments giving the illusion they glow.

If you chose dark colors for them or are in bright daylight, they will not have the appearance of glowing.

Think of it more as 'glow in the dark'.

And which one of these has a working prototype made by some guy in a garage?

VIP simply means you're a subscriber, that is, you paid for the month.

When you stop paying, you're playing for free, but you lose access to stuff that you haven't specifically purchased separately.

You can become a VIP at anytime.

There was a bonus, however, you did miss out on. If you had subscribed in July, you would get 400 Paragon Points a month until FREEDOM was released. But once FREEDOM goes Live, you'll get 400 Paragon Points each month after that.

False dilemma.

You're leaving out a third option: Batcake crazy.

The costumes look great, the color choices... not so much.

Keeping the accent color that 'different' through either contrast or hue or both all the way through all the pieces is the problem.

Normal solutions to 'fix' these is to choose a much less differing hue or brightness level in the highlight color throughout the pieces or on specific pieces; or, to introduce more neutrals.

For the brown and blue (light grey?) CoT, I'd go with a much darker grey.

For the hunter-green and gold CoT, I'd change the gold in the boots, gloves, hat, and breech cloths to a muted brown. There's no need to use two and only two hues.

But on the other hand, we've been told that this patch doesn't represent all the changes they've made. So, AFAWK, these CoT don't exist anymore.

No. Their AI goes screwy when certain powers recharge more quickly than they should. An extreme example would be them winding up using nothing but Brawl.

Their movement speed can be increased, but not the recharge rate of their powers.

Arbiter Background said on Ustream that he likes to go for a lot of global recharge and then with Time Manipulation's own recharge.... he has hit the recharge cap.

Does that help?

I'll answer this, too, since I want him in the FP.

I want him in because for five years I've been told in-game that he is in the FP. From City of Villains to Ouroboros to Who Will Die, BAB has been included in the FP by the Devs.

When I saw Posi's tweet, I was all, "Wait.. wha? You're joking, right?"

I totally love Posi as a designer and lead designer. But he was never the lore master and he makes mistakes. All the writers do, they're only human. Like the old debate over Ms. Liberty's name or making the mistake of linking Dominatrix with Tyrant carnally.

Awww... isn't that cute. The Devs are designing sets specifically for Repeat Offenders to use!

That's not how science works. The Wright brothers demonstrated their prototype for others to see. This guy hasn't. There were other fixed wing prototypes and gliders all competing to be successful with heavier than air fixed wing flight. It wasn't thought of as being that crazy an idea.

Science at the level of creating warp fields, if such things existed, is not done by stringing together a bunch of electromagnets in your garage. It's done with high level math and engineering and publishing papers.

There's no papers, no math, no prototypes that anyone has gotten to see or test. Some blogger repeating his claims without doing an ounce of investigative work is not a witness. It's as real as some blogger reporting that some cat lady can psychically communicate with her cats.

He is 100% out of touch with reality.

Slow moving really big thing. Easy to see. Easy to duck.

The Vindicators are the junior Phalanxers made up of their mentees (i.e., sidekicks). According to the CoH Comic Books, BAB is an older man (his heyday was in the 70's fighting drugs on the street) who was once the mentor of Manticore, so, he's nobody's sidekick.

This whole thing can be easily wrapped up by picking up where the comic books left off: That by virtue of being a member of the Surviving Eight and having recently come out of retirement and working closely with the Freedom Phalanx he made official what everyone thought: he's a member of the Freedom Phalanx, even if just an adjunct or honorary member.

A mistake made repeatedly without contradiction for five years.
