Smuggled video of the new Rocket Punch blast set!
If only Robot Masterminds could select Rocket punches as an alternate animation for the energy cannons. Oh well, one can dream... -

If you get Pistol Melee I want my Punch Blast set.

I'd happily pay good money for a Ghost Widow figure.

At the behest of a friend I downloaded the NA version back in 2005 and joined him on Pinnacle. With the release of CoV I found myself on Virtue and I've been here ever since.

Strange, it's every other server...the status page looks like The Idiot's Guide to Copulation.

They might even add some new Praetorians, who'd have their own zones too.
Can you imagine what a heroic doppelganger of Lord Recluse would be like? I imagine he could don the guise of a cute, fuzzy tarantula.

All this talk of whips has me wondering if we'll see some animated tails become available.
Maybe in the 'Mutant' Booster?

I am looking forward to reverting to the Queens English
A good friend (originally from Rhode Island) persuaded me to try CoH back in 2005. He was on the Pinnacle server and I've been with the US servers ever since, though I migrated to Virtue about a year after City of Villains appeared.
I've never heard any comment about my (sometimes quite old-fashioned) 'British' English, though they may just have been giggling from behind their keyboards.

Quote:I agree entirely! If cold logic and reason was the only precept for language we would probably all be talking in binary by now.Originally Posted by Zhanate
Very reasonable. But as I sometimes try to explain to my fellow copy editors (yes, scary, I know), trying to impose reason on the language will only make you crazy.
Ultimately, we all understand each other and that is the most important thing.
A fine example of my homeland making a poor choice while the united states made a good one is 'mobile phone.' The US uses 'cellphone' from cellular and this is a sensible choice.
The phones do not hover in the air and follow you around of their own volition, they do not have little wheels and come scurrying to your side when you click your fingers (unlike the red rotary phone from the Direct Line adverts.)
These phones are immobile!
The word you are looking for is PORTABLE!
Ok, I'm done. -

I prefer the Death Goggles in the Science Booster to the skull mask that came with the Magic Booster, so I got an upgrade there for my death knight.
This is the first time I've seen the death googles minus hair or hats. The eyes look fantastic. Really distinctive. -
These are brilliant! ^_^
By far my favourite is:

The Corrupter: The hardest hit by the introduction of Going Rogue, the Corrupter found herself completely unnecessary to teams that had begged her to join them before. Why would we take you when we can get a Defender whose buffs and debuffs arent so gimped? A Corrupter? But we can just grab a Blaster and get more damage per second Were not entirely sure that The Corrupter actually died but she certainly did seem to fade away. -

You lot say it your way, we'll say it our way.
After all, it's just a bit of lighthearted fun-poking at language disparity.
Oh, and it's 'jam,' not 'jelly.'

Quote:Mathematics condenses to 'Maths.'Originally Posted by Zhanate
Maths?
No, no, no, "math" doesn't take an s.
Mathematic condenses to 'Math.'
There is no such thing as a 'Mathematic' class.
Nobody is well-versed in 'Mathematic.'
Correct this discrepancy immediately.
Thank you.

That's a really imaginative idea! I also like the clever name.Quote:Originally Posted by Organica
I had no reason to create radically different looks for most of my characters, but for one newer character named Popeye Khan, the whole idea was that he'd look like different pop icons. I started with Michael Jackson and Elvis, and I have James Dean, but there's now a Marilyn Monroe look that naturally wasn't possible before the science booster. ^_^
I vaguely remember seeing a screenshot of a Ronald MacDonald and a Colonel Sanders standing next to each other in Atlas Park. Something like that could be fun too, though I can't imagine what powersets you would pick. ¬_¬ -

Alasdair!
I got nothin' other than I was working with Trina at the D and saw the alt in your avatar (forgive me, I forget her name) standing AFK.
I remember seeing this particular alt in one of the patriotic costume threads and seeing it "in person" was like seeing a celebrity.
I know, I know....I'm a hopeless geek. But, still, it was very cool to see "in-game" something that I thought was so awesome at the Forum.
Being AFK in front of a tailor seems to a habit for me these days...
(Oh, and never apologise for being a geek, hopeless or otherwise. Geeks are responisible for the technology and civilisation we enjoy today.)
To get back to the thread subject, though not directly connected to Super Science, I really want to use the lightning emote to change into a costume with shredded clothes and a smoking aura.
If we ever get a golf club choice for the war mace, even better! -
Quote:I like that. Subtle touches can really make a character stand out. ^_^Originally Posted by Extor_Prime
The coolest thing I have done for my main character was to make his "civillian clothes" costumes half a foot shorter than the "superhero costume" (Extor is 7' tall when wearing spandex, but 6'5'' when he's rockin' the civvies).
My scrapper indulges in self-imposed demonic posession, for which I use the 'evillaugh' emote and adjusted the height to maximum. When she wishes to regain control I thought using the super serum would be a nice touch. -
Hmm, considering how tiny .costume files are, wouldn't be handy if we could paste a URL somewhere into the load screen? ^_^

Quote:The way you describe it puts me in mind of the Empathy & Pain Domination powers. The former being all translucency/additive and the latter having a more opaque/subtractive feel.Originally Posted by Zekiran_Immortal
The colors we get for each power may vary - the "dark" version of some powers is actually an "inverse" effect, it's really spiffy but kinda hard to describe.
Looks like I jumped to conclusions a little. I thought it might be just a general extra colour set for use with anything, including costumes. -
I was just watching this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X1Hi...eature=related
There appears to be an alternate colour palette with a choice lower-saturation hues available. Though the clip focuses on power customisation I can't imagine why the new colours couldn't be available throughout the character creator.
Though there has always been a wide choice they have generally been high-saturation (with a smaller selection of more neutral choices down the right side.) I think this is another excellent development. ^_^ -

Gotham City is in New Jersey sometimes isn't it?
Metropolis is right next to The Simpson's Springfield though.
I honestly can't claim to know about Metropolis being tied to any specific location, though my limited comic-savvy might be to blame. -
Hmm...
Southwark.
