    For Bruce Wayne/Batman the normal man is the true nature and the hero is the affectation while for Clark Kent/Superman the normal man is the act and the hero persona is his true self.

    I've always seen it as just the opposite. At least, that's how the DCAU characterizes them, so that's good enough for me.

    Exactly my feelings on the subject.

    Issue15 on Test

    Expected them to not be there yet. Infact, I think he said as much when first discussing it.

    *Curls up on the FoC and hauu~s.*

    Woke up all achey and grumpy. And decided trying to talk with some people is a complete waste of time, as they're not interested in actual discussion anyway. Which makes me a little sad.

    Ah well. C'est la vie, nes pas?

    *Enjoys the airship ride, and dozes.*

    You decide

    And neither is letting people exploit things. It's a double-edged sword, honestly, and you're damned if you try to make a stand and insure that the game is fair and balanced for everyone, and damned if you let them run rampant.

    There's not going to be anything even remotely close to a 'perfect' solution for something like this, and expecting it is more of a failure on your part then it is anything else.
  6. I are the made sads at this news.

    It make cry-fase.
  7. I'm amused at how Amish_Justice seems to be completely skipping over all of the comments that CoH is like a comic-book. Sort of smacks of cherry picking, doesn't it...?

    Says a lot about the defensibility of the OP if it can't hold up to that particular analogy.

    My bad.
    I fell for it.
    Nope, no definitive definition of exploitive here.
    Move along please.

    As far as I can tell there isn't one anywhere. That is a problem.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    There's a problem with clearly stating where the line is, too. Your comment of 'if 8/8 is bad, is 7/8 fine?' is a perfect example of that, and certainly more perfect then one I could fabricate.

    The second you state where the line between 'exploit' and 'fine' is, people will dance on that line and work ever harder on maximizing their rewards as much as possible while stating that you told them it was fine the entire time. It's endorsing it to a certain point, and that's just as bad if not worse then not being clear where the line really is.

    The line's blurry specifically to catch people trying to play at the edge, because those people are more likely to actually exploit. People that get their accidentally may get caught in the crossfire, but it's an inevitability in any situation, even when the line is clearly defined. Because some people would get just a little over there unknowingly.
  9. You so silly, bro.

    ...I can dig it.

    Hoversniping has been a staple Blaster practice for a while, iirc. Doesn't mean it's intended, but it is fairly common.

    It's important to note here that you don't have 0 risk, as was the case with mobs that didn't have ranged attacks, and couldn't attack you no matter what they did. They can still attack you, it just doesn't mean as much because they can't hit you.

    If softcapping was against the rules... we would definately see some problems come up in the mitigation forms available to scrappers, stalkers, brutes, and tanks before it became an issue with Blasters.
  12. Would read again. May have lol'd. Still not sure.

    11/10, as always. <3
  13. I've personally read the entire run of Young Justice (particularly the Sins of Youth meta-arc) about 47 times, for various reasons over the years since it first came out.

    How is reading the same comic over and over again bad, if I like the stories?
  14. Calling CoH, or more to the point any MMO, a 'novel' is rather limited. It's not a 'novel'... it's a 'collection'.

    Each arc (CoH has far more arcs then other MMOs do, as quest-chaining is a very important part of the game) is a short story in and of itself that takes place inside a specific setting. Sometimes, these short stories link up into a greater story, but often they can be taken and enjoyed as a seperate story on an individual basis as well.

    Infact, it's rather much like the story medium it's based off of: The humble comic book. Calling it a 'novel' is horrifically off-base.

    EDIT: To further detail my point: When I like a particular short story, I may read it again and again. If I like a particular issue of a comic, or a plot-arc (Go figure, it's the same term. I wonder why? ), I may read all of those issues over and over again to the point I memorize it.. but still go back to read it again and again.

    Some people do that with game content. The reasons and motivations for that are entirely theirs, and I won't speculate as to them except when discussing my own personal motivations.

    I'm awesome.

    Oh. Dude.

    I'm not coherent enough to think of anything but my usual, canned response. And you're awesome enough to deserve something that actually isn't one of my usual default answers for a thread like this.

    ...do you take I.O.U.s?

    But we never got the answer to the question.

    Or, rather, we got an answer, but it was not specifically accurate enough to provide enough data to determine completely without a shadow of a doubt a definative answer to the question stated.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Depends, on how you look at it. Math genius with wit. All you really wanted to know.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Not really. That's stuff I put in the Round File under 'Stuff I Already Knew'. >.>

    I want petty verification! And/or shameless, petty verification. I'm not all that picky, honestly.

    PMs work, too. :3

    I've thought long and hard about a big enough word to express my proper amount of displeasure in regards to the original topic of the thread, that being the removal of all level 50 characters.

    And I can say with scientific certainty that there just isn't one big enough to quite accurately state my negative feelings towards this suggestion, and I am left therefore with a very inadequate 'No [censored] way'.

    In a thread full of astronomy, redheads, experimental lesbians, Danica McKellar, Lord Byron, Quantum Leap, LISAR's breasts, Helen of Troy, and my role in the end game? That would be like claiming to have the best bunk in all of Arkham Asylum.

    Werd.

    A-hem. Where were we? I seem to recall a picture of Arcana's great tracts of land somewhere in the mix.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Reputed tracts. I distinctly recall not seeing anything to verify with scientific certainty the presence or lack thereof.

  21. I'm rather disappointed Arcanaville didn't respond to the put-forth offer of getting coffee, but eh. I'll get over it.

    Other then recent events, it's been a pretty amusing, light-hearted thread (Or that's the impression I got - I may just not be taking things OMGSRSLY enough), so I don't see any point in not furthering any of the hundreds of interesting and faskinating derails.

    Then again, I do love a good tangent. ;3

    A big salute to everyone that has, is, and will serve our nation in it's time of need, in times of peace, and in the pursuit of freedom. You people are a cut above the rest, doing what most people wouldn't even think of, and you do it every day. Those of us back home may not say it all of the time, but we appreciate every single bit.

    Walk with pride, because you've more then earned the right. o7

    And I agree with you on Troy's writing for the comics - "Smoke and Mirrors" had to be my favorite of the bunch. Now that Paragon Studios has David Nakayama on the payroll, they should have him team up with Troy and start putting out comics again!

  25. ...These are sketches? Dude.

    I gives up!

    ...Not seriously, but dang dood. I'd love it if my sketches ended up that awesome.
