  2. I have a villain that will redeem herself. I haven't made a hero that'll go evil yet though.

    is there any other game where devs design / scenarise themselves as semi-gods(rockstars)? this is the only mmo i ever played, im from rps. Just asking.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    To be fair, it's the other way around.
    The signature characters were initially developed for promotional/gameplay reasons and THEN adopted by the devs.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Most, yes, but Statesman? No.

    Statesman is Emmert's old champions character.

    It must burn him up that he can't put him in CO.

    One would presume, due to various differences in the dimensions, that Praetoria has not had to deal with Rikti invasions and villain sabotage. When you rule with an iron fist, you can keep things as clean as you want to in your HQ. I would presume there are slums and hovels where the freedom fighters of Praetoria reside.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Praetoria did have a Rikti invasion. But the general assumption is that they fended it off much better, being ruthless and all.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Is there evidence of this? Given the scenario that lead to our Rikti invasion (I'm trying to avoid spoilers) I sincerely doubt the Rikti would have invaded - unless it was for another reason entirely...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Without giving out spoilers, and keeping in mind how Parallel Worlds work in the CoH universe (a much greater range of differences between worlds, and fewer 'omg they're just like us but coin flips have opposite outcomes!'), it seems to be that it would be VERY unlikely that Preatorian Earth suffered a Rikti Invasion, let alone even got the attention of the Rikti.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Maybe Praetorian you-know-who asked the Praetorian /Rikti to help him defeat Tyrant? And they invaded, not to take over but to liberate Praetoria?

    Just a random thought.

    I can't help what comes to mind with simple word pairings. Tell the TV to stop airing the one, and my friends to stop posting the other all the time. Lol.

    Well, I live in the UK do I doubt they'll listen to me.
  6. Do this:

    Play some MA arcs (may I suggest mine? It's in my sig ), get a bunch of tickets.

    See what rare salvage is selling for about 1 mil. Trade in tickets for rare salvage. Sell rare salvage.

    Bam, money!

    I saw that and thought of two completely separate things...

    Gathering Storm vs. Gaythering Storm =/

    Posting something like that, I think we're more likely to get a [censored] storm

    Type R Roleplayer?

    Pocket D on a Friday night?

    Oh wait, that's a R-rated roleplayer, my mistake

    So, is this the Coming Storm?

    Doesn't look like it... surely they'd be hyping that up like mad.

    But it still sets the bar for "dear sweet gods above that was hard".

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Uh... no. But R-Type is still a decent difficulty.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Ok... that is ridiculous. I am (or at least was) pretty good at shooters, but I wouldn't even try that.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The sub-genre is called "Bullet Hell" or "Curtain Fire". Can't imagine why. It is pretty silly, but what's worse is that there are players who can beat that.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The Bullet Hell games are all about avoid enemy fire really. They're just puzzle games really, each enemy has it's own pattern, so you'll win eventually if you remember the pattern.
  11. Probably not graphics as such, but I'd really like fingers for my characters (that aren't VEATs)... just saying

  13. If I were Recluse I'd wonder how I ended up in the only dimension with a "good" Statesman

    I've got the right email address in my profile yet I never seem to get NCSoft / game emails. Yes, I've checked my Junk Mail folder.

    We're sitting in a meeting and our Development Director said "We've contracted some Type R programmers".

    I had never heard this term before, so I jotted it down on my notepad, so I could inquire about it later.

    Just then our Lead Engineer asks "What is Type R?"

    Our Dev Director looked stumped. "What do you mean?"

    "You said 'Type R Programmers'" said the Lead Engineer.

    "No, I said 'High Powered'." said the Dev Director.

    "No you didn't. You said 'Type R.' See I wrote it down." I said, and showed him my notepad that said "Type R?".

    So now, everything high powered and awesome in the office is "Type R".

    I am now on a crusade to get it used outside our offices. I should add it to urban dictionary or something.

    Why does Statesman even need a mask at this point? His only living relative is also a super hero, and everyone knows about the familial connection between the two. Everyone else who was in his life is either dead or also a super hero. He has no day job. He has no reason to hide his identity.

    Take off the mask, Statesman!

    [/ QUOTE ]

    He's not wearing it to hide his identity (everyone in CoH's world knows who he is), he wears it because it's his costume
  18. I have a screenshot that is almost 100% identical to that.

    And hey, where the hell is my [color=orange]moon zone[/color}???

    [/ QUOTE ]

    The moon zone is not what you think it is. Very appropriately, it butts up right against King's Row. They decided to utilize that blocked off entrance on the back end of the zone. I just hate to think of what problems will rear their head with it.

    I don't understand why it's only that one room that has Power Suppression thought...well...I guess besides QQing RPers that need to fly at all times...

    [/ QUOTE ]

    I don't understand it either. I would have put the suppression field in the main room if I were on the dev team, but there may be a reason for it we don't know about.

    Well, it'd suck if you had to reapply all your toggles in between missions wouldn't it?
  22. I blame EMpulse because he's the new guy!
