If this were just a box game with free multiplayer, I'd have no problem with relaxing and not worrying about people not paying attnetion to everything that needs to be done, but because I pay (and so do all the other Incarnate Content players) 15 bucks a month, I expect a certain amount of payoff for my investment.

Seriously? You've got to hide this thread. My husband has been pressuring me to downgrade from VIP and this thread gives him all the ammunition he needs to say "just go Premium and be done with it." Neither one of us is a big fan of Incarnates but if he finds out that premium includes the base game for free minus incarnates and AE (which we never touch) I'm screwed!
wait.
Husband? Rubberlad is female?

Quote:Or in Sweden, where Batman was known for years as "Laderlappen", which means "leather patch" because the literal translations of "Batman" would be...Originally Posted by Captain_Photon
Which is not unknown with comics characters published in multiple language regions. The Phantom, for instance, is hugely popular in Scandinavia under the name Fantomen, and Iron Man was briefly published in Germany as Der Eiserner (roughly, "The Iron One"). I've seen Spanish-language Spider-Man T-shirts, too (El Hombre Araña).
That said, I rather doubt Iron Man comics were published natively in Russia back in the day, so yeah, there probably isn't an actual Russian-language trademark version of his name.
Fladermusmannen
(apologies if I mangled the spelling on any of those).
As an aside, while I was attempting to relate the above information to my mother, she was unable to say "Laderlappen" correctly and kept saying "Lapperladen". I carried that bit of information back to the Sweidsh kid who told me about Batman, and he cracked up, explaining that "Lapperladen" meant "flap lips".

The cops there have just been looking for an excuse to bust this guy, and I understand their reasoning. They want him off the streets before he gets himself or someone else hurt or killed.
However, in this case they were a little over-zealous. He didn't do anything illegal, it's on tape and they are going to get a lot of bad press over this.
But, they did reveal his identity which up until now was not known, and for a good reason. The guy has a girlfriend and two kids, he can't afford to put them in danger. Looks like his career as a "masked hero" is over. -

Personally, I would go to the RWZ, but it seems like they might be more expensive there than from the actual contact. Not sure about that, though.

Hi Guys,
I just got to Level 35 and I wanted to Buy Enhancements to boost my powers, but every Natural store I go to has enhacements only at levels 25-30...where do I need to go to get enhancements greater than 30?
Thanks

As for my ex turned roommate? She digs chicks now. Apparently, a lot can happen in a month.

I went to a computer expo with a friend back in 1982 or 1983. We walked around looking a the "luggables" and proto-desktop offerings. We wandered over to a booth labeled "Apple" and the demo doll took a "mouse" and wrote the word "Lisa" and it magically appeared on the monitor of the Apple Lisa she was demonstrating.
It set my brain on fire. I ran home and spent many hours trying to replicate that on my TI99/4A with a joystick. Without that event, I might never have found my calling and started programming.
Thank you, Steve Jobs. Rest now, you've earned it.

Try the ParagonWiki at http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Main_Page
Everything that is anything in CoH/V/F is in there. -
If you are a VIP, very little has changed. You still retain all the Vet bonuses you acumulated and any items (Booster packs, etc) you purchased.
Going forward is a little different, and the devs are currently (to my understanding) working on a post to explain to us exactly when we VIPs will get our rewards (400 Paragon Points + 1 Paragon Reward Token + 1 Free Server Transfer per month).
Eidt: Oh, and I forgot - access to the VIP server, Exalted. No Freems allowed there. -

*tries to imagine the scenario*
Superflamemacguffin versus The Hellions!
SFMG and his plucky sidekick, Catgrrlerper, are busting a Hellion hideout
SFMG: Gadzooks! These Hellions are playing havoc with us, Cat!
Cat: We just need to believe in ourselves, sir!
SFMG immolates a Hellion lieutenant and suddenly becomes more powerful (i.e. 'dings to the next level')
SFMG: I feel so inspired! So much strength coursing through my veins! I feel I could escape from any restraint, my insight into our dire situation is uncanny, the righteous rage I'm feeling will surely win the day!
Cat: Well you've always been phenomenally lucky, sir. And robust to boot. Now that you've got your second wind we can push through with a resurgence to stop the Hellions and their plot to--
SFMG whips out a slightly-charred cellphone and dials a number
Cat: Sir, what are you DOING?! The Hellions! They're about to finish summoning the hell-spawned BOSS_NAME!
SFMG waves a hand dismissively at his scantily-clad-for-no-good-reason sidekick. He finishes the call then gives the woman a thumbs up
SFMG: Good news, I just called my trainer and now I can [Jump Kick] those Hellions into the next life!

So, usually, in the future, starting in November, I'll get my points on my billing date of the 2nd?
But this October is a fluke and I shouldn't expect October's points until the 11th?
But on Nov 1st I'll get October's token?
And then on Nov 2nd I'll get November's points? -

Except I said right from the start Im not unhappy enough to do this.
But it is a possible option.
Actually I usually just threaten cancellation which I did do, I was upset enough to cancel and put that as a reason.
"Online play may change" is one of the things you signed off on in the EULA, man.
This isn't that burger joint where you get to have it your way. You should have waited a day to see how the set performed. It's your fault, not theirs. Man up. -

Now I can think of several characters who used their powers above anything else, and when they lost them, they weren't able to fight crime without them. I won't list them as there are so many, but Spider-Man is an example. Maybe he'd never consider that his powers might be dampened or lost in the past, but of many powered characters who would benefit from martial arts training, I would place Spider-Man at the top of the list. (I am aware that he did take some lessons from Shang Chi in the ultimate universe.)Thoughts?
I'm sorry, but Spidey should be at the very *bottom* of that list. The number of times he has lost his Spider-sense, ability to cling to walls, run out of web fluid, lost his spider-strength or all at the same time and STILL hangs on down to his last fingernail to beat the bad guy is the stuff of legend.
There is no other hero that I can think of that has had some or all of his powers taken away OVER and OVER again and still fights to the last breath.
Now, for an example of someone who would just curl up and die without his powers? The Human Torch. Johnny wouldn't last 15 seconds in a bar fight without his flame. -

I apologize for my preceding post.
While a couple of posts were far from gracious the response I gave was out of proportion to the provocation. Emberly hit a hot topic. I am not a leader and am a poor socializer. I rarely talk in teams, leading one is impossible. Having my nose rubbed in that fact while very frustrated at the situation put me in the only frame of mind where I get talkative. I got mad. I pushed myself to start a thread on a topic that was bothering. Obviously I should not have. I was even less successful at that than at leading teams.
Again I apologize for lashing out. Mods can lock this, or I will if the option exists for me.
No more posts.
We're just trying to help. It might not always seems that way, but we really are. If you feel like giving us a second chance, we'll be here.
(no promises on being kinder/gentler. Not only should I not speak specifically for people [I know, I know], but, well, people will be people.) -
