    So far it looks like Grimm will be more of what Supernatural fun in the beginning. I like the idea of humans taking out the monsters.

While I myself had a small amount of fun at his post's expense, I don't think there's any reason to manufacture more controversy than actually exists. We shouldn't beat up people for a lack of eloquence, and the basic opinion that the game's reward systems should be more of a meritocracy isn't absurd, just generally incompatible with the majority viewpoint of the community, or at least the forum community.

    In the same way I'm not offended when the devs reduce Zookeeper to three monkeys and an organ grinder, I'm also not offended by someone that says the badge isn't as impressive to them now that its three monkeys and an organ grinder. I did them the old fashion way, by yelling "die monkeys" at my monitor for four hours straight, but I neither hold a grudge that its a lot easier now, nor do I hold a grudge that some people wish everyone had to experience the same hell. In the grand scheme of things, the statement "I wish you had to earn your way onto Exalted" is not worth making enemies over in either direction.

    I mean, its Exalted. They still eat babies over there, right?

    The op didn't really bother me much. I have been an elitist before, I just grew out of it at some point. The post by the op implying that it was wrong to share his opinion seemed passive aggressive to me and annoyed me. I have pneumonia, what can I say?

    I doubt I will ever enter another one again either. The Fight Crime in Style contest has pretty much burned me. Not because I didn't win, I can live with that. It is more that they didn't announce the winners at all. That has a way of making it seem shady IMO.

    I guess I think of codes and such the same way. People have to be really devoted to go to a con and stand in line for hours waiting for them. Yes they paid to get there but it took devotion to do that.

    As for the VIP digs. I felt the same about that. I've paid my account regulary for many years now whether I've had time to play or not. Yes, again, it does cost me money, but it takes devotion to maintain my accounts regularly. I thought the VIP statice was going to be a way to reward players who maintain their accounts regularly not just as a way to seperate the paying accounts from the free accounts. I just read more into it then there was ever going to be The first few days on Exaulted were so packed with great players it set my expectations for the server really high.

    Good thing your all here to pull my head out of the clouds and make me feel like an idiot for voicing my opinion.

    You made a post that a lot of people found offensive, and felt would be offensive to others. How did you think people who play a game called City of HEROES would react? They instantly jumped to the defense of themselves and others.

    What baffles me is that people keep making insulting posts in the name of "Voicing their opinion" and then are offended when others let them know how they feel about it. Do you expect people to just roll over and ignore stuff like that? Or were you thinking that others agreed? I am just trying to get a handle on this.

    Elitism is viewed very poorly by a great many people or participate on these boards. So all should be warned that when it is displayed people are going to be quick to rally against it.

    How is having the money to go to a con any more earning than having the money to buy them in the store is?

Tony Jaa or someone similar could probably pull off something like it, but the hang time in the middle of it defies the laws of physics.
    This statement summed it up perfectly for me, above and beyond anything else.

    This is a correct statement. That and currently the character copy tool doesn't work.
  9. I would have broke the bank to buy the PP and Rikti costume parts, I will be skipping costume changes though. While some want the full costumes of NPCs, I think most of us just want their parts to use as we with.

    I am however glad that you are adding new items to the store every week. I just wish you were adding items I want every week.

I love these new pieces and all the mix-and-match we can do!
    I have one costume that I get a lot of comments on, I entered it in the mmorpg.com contest. I received a comment on it there too. As far as I know it was not even in the top ten.

    As for the state of costumes in the game, I can't agree. I have come to the conclusion that my eyes must function in a different manner than others. I went through every costume in that thread, and there were a few that made my eyes want to bleed. Which was part of the reason I stopped participation in costume contests to start with.
  11. Well...another week I can save points. Not such a bad thing I guess.

    It is really bad, and makes me wonder about the state of parenting in the world. I am speaking of the Titan Weapons thread, not the boards in general. Over the past 7 years I have just figured out who is going to have something negative to say in advance, and I overlook them.

    Not there for me either.
  14. HEHEH You said Jarhead and my mind instantly went to Marine. I was wondering why you would need help making a soldier.

    Yeah, this is what I see every time I read one of his posts also.

    But let me tell just one story. Don't take it too seriously.

    Let's think you have one favourite radio channel. You love all music they play and you listen that channel years and love about all the music what they play. After the years they suddenly play one horrible piece of music and you think it makes your ears to bleed. Ok it was only one song and that's all. After some time they play it again... Just the same piece that makes you feel really uneasy. So everybody says it's not the new line of radiochannel but you start to think... what if they start to play that kind of music more and more... You hope not but still it makes you feel slightly nervous. What if...
    Sounds like every top 40 station in the US.

    Seriously though, the awesome thing about comics is that it is an all inclusive genera. Anything can fit, anything. I hate the fact that SS toons can't beat the crap out of mobs with a lamp post, this set allows that to happen. Just look at as another outlet for super strength.
  18. Every time she has ever been stock to me, I turn off all my toggles and eat dirt. I log in to play, not babysit.

    Also, if a server is slow, or downright dead, a player knows that they can log in as a scrapper or brute and still play

    Doms should get some love? I bet MMs laugh heartily at that statement. I only play melee so the selfish part of me is glad that there are so many melee sets in the works.

    I really hope it comes up soon. I have dreamed about Titan Weapons every night since Friday.
