  1. They're Half Helmet details, so no. No hair.

    Closest you'd get is waiting for the new Cybertech costume set, which has metal bits that go on your face as a Detail 2 option. Or using the Phantom of the Opera-esque metal plate option we already have.

    Paragon City has Independence Port, Talos Island, Peregrine Island, Striga Isle... okay still kinda lopsided. Maybe also count zones with Sewer Network access? Or Founders' Falls, I guess. The Red River runs through Skyway City and the Hollows, maybe that's an "access point" too?
    Starter zones are out, obviously. So Mercy can be scratched off the list. And Mako wouldn't terrorize the capital of Arachnos, so scratch off Grandville. And they don't need to do it in every possible zone, either. So I could see it being like Port Oakes, Sharkhead Island, and St. Martial, while blueside has Talos Island, Independence Port, and Peregrine Island.

    I hate social media because I find it morally repugnant to cash in on the details of someone's personal life. Like reality TV wasn't bad enough in that regard?

    I hate social media because it does a lot of things that anywhere but the internet would land you in prison for voyeurism/stalking/harassment/etc.

    I hate social media because it hands a microphone to a lot of people who really should have their tongues cut out instead of giving them an audience.
    Calm down.

  5. We've got plenty of bright, energy-type powersets already.

    I think that's 'cause we haven't really seen Reichs do much in game. Yeah, he's a Nazi, but all he did was become near invincible, then try to fight us within a 5th base. Although Requiem, that guy's nasty. And he even came back, took his group back, and put a leash on Reichs.

    Unrelated to the 5th, but don't forget the Ouroboros menders. Although not proven, we've heard horror stories about the massive crimes they've committed. Particularly Twlight's Son selling out his entire race.

    Why would you ask a question, then reply to the answer before getting an answer?

    I mean, weren't we supposed to be getting at least some of these powersets as free if we were VIPs? Last one I remember getting for free was Time Manipulation, and that was um...a while ago.

    Not that I'm not buying this powerset, seeing as how I've wanted it since I made my first fire blaster, but still....
    Wait two months. Get it for free. Bam.

    Also, Dark Control.
  12. Do you mean, like, open handed fingernail-esque beast-type claws? They'd have to come up with alternate animations for each power that have you not flailing your knuckles wildly at enemies to pull that off. It's possible, especially with the larger staff nowadays, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    I meant what more would you expect to make a man look like they're 90+ in this game.

    Like I've said, like, twice already, I'm not saying he is. But if he were, there's plenty of evidence supporting it.

    He uses the same face as the Center, his eyes are horribly sunken, he looks like an unhealthy raisin, his hair is gray, and his physique is scrawny and frail. I honestly don't know what more you expect.

    Also running through Tami Baker's arc, she reveals she works closely with Mr. G. She is, for the most part, an airheaded secretary. But she provides you with tons of info from Mr. G, and will frequently speak just like him, particularly imitating his repetition. So it can be implied he's controlling her in some way.

    Again, not saying G and the Center are for sure the same, but if G is a counterpart to anyone in Primal, there's more evidence supporting the Center than anyone else.
  16. Devs made it clear they're not repeating the mistake of Patron Pool Powers again. This was addressed in a recent coffee talk when they chatted a bit about power pools.

    Honestly, I agree. The're trying to make us not be overshadowed by NPCs anymore, and people frequently complained about that issue in the past. Going around saying we have to train under Manticore if we wanna be a pro at Archery like him, or become Black Scorpion's henchman in order to wield a high tech mace just invalidates that completely. They should just open Patron Pools to everyone just like they did with APPs and make 'em a free choice for both heroes and villains.

    Have you ever actually seen Mr. G? He's old. Someone just posted a pic up above, and you can tell how old he looks. Agent G, though, is pretty young. Here's a pic of the Center, for reference.



    Also the Center and Mr. G have similarly colored suits, and Mr. G has shown the ability to influence others mentally. It's believed the Center has a similar ability, and that's how he was capable of forming his Council and overthrowing the 5th Column. I'm not saying they are one another, but it's a strong possibility.

    Didn't one of the devs back when Freedom launched tell us that CoH is terrible at getting new players, but really good at keeping and maintaining old ones? That might have to do with that.
  21. Contrary to the massive over exaggerations some people are making about Steam being as bad as Hitler, I actually like it. Great place to get great games for incredibly cheap. Nice and organized. And, honestly, I could see CoH getting quite a few new players and some pretty good exposure if it were on the front page of Steam whenever a new Issue comes out. This game could always use some more advertisement.
