Quote:It concerns psychology as well, you know. And Psychiatry is far from a joke.Originally Posted by Frostbiter
I'd take your word for it if it didn't concern psychiatry. As far as I'm concerned that whole field is a joke. -
Quote:My psych classes say otherwise. And since we're using DSM definitions of sociopath and psychopath, we're using the DSM definition of antisocial, not the popular one.Originally Posted by Frostbiter
Absolutely. Anyone who defies social and cultural norms is by definition a sociopath.
And for the record antisocial and asocial share the same definition. -
Quote:Please stop misusing "antisocial". Antisocial refers to being against societal rules. Someone who dislikes socialization and crowds is asocial.Originally Posted by Megajoule
Clearly you need to be cured of that antisocial disorder in order to make you a happier, more productive citizen. Here, take this pill and lie back. You won't feel a thing, and you'll wake up with a much better outlook on life. Trust us. We're here to help.
The examples:
An asocial person dislikes going to the bar. An antisocial person demolishes the bar because he feels like it. -
Quote:Really? Assuming that the average person has between 10-20 characters, it's between $0.50 and $1.00 per character.Originally Posted by Acroyear2
$10 is just way, way, way too much money for a costume slot, even if it is account wide. It should be $5.00.
For me, it turns out to be ridiculously cheap per character because I have in the neighborhood of 40 characters. -
Quote:I definitely kept my vet slots. I had them all assigned to Virtue prior, and was premium at launch of Freedom. I had 24 server slots for Virtue (I had a combination of purchased/vet slots assigned to Virtue for the then-max of 36) and extras sitting around.Originally Posted by Giant2005
This isn't entirely true.
My sub ran out last night and I took a look before I resubbed.
I had a total of 9 character slots available to me. I have bought 5 so I am thinking 2 from GR, 5 character slots and 2 freebies. I don't think you get to keep the veteran slots. -
Quote:Yes, but he also has a duty to not immediately become inflammatory, and to make his posts legible.

im gonna help you out here..in the recent issue updates this game has been not very helpful when it comes to ati cards.myself included have had to suffer through a game has changed ALOT in the last 7 years.since i came here in dec of 2004 i can tell you that i have not had any issue with crashing or freezing since this year.
it does have to do with the game and its combatibility with ati cards. so infact it is an issue.
do you know i was unable to run the last 4 updates with ati to this game dumple?...no i bet you didnt.so while your not helpful at all. i can tell you that it is infact the game that is the problem.but its also ati as well.
please read up next time before making your statements. as a paying customer he also has a right to complain about the product he pays for.so your comments arent very smart and not helpful at all for new players.way to shine pal! -
You would type /bind f2 auctionhouse, you don't put the slashes inside the bind.
So for facepalm, you do /bind f1 e facepalm and for vault, it's /bind f3 vault -
Quote:I'm assuming you only mean for the middle alignments (Rogue/Vigilante). Because having heroes or villains suddenly jump ship would be... problematic. For one, they can only access from one side, where they'd immediately get ganked by the drones.Originally Posted by AresSupreme
Other than Leo the rest of you have some misguided understanding of PVP and simply disregarded my OP. So to clarify.
Leave everything the same except:
Make an option to zone into PVP to either side.
Siren's Call (Freedom) and RV (Freedom) Have plenty of frequent players. People play the two zones specifically for a reason.
Warburg DOES NOT allow you to enter on either side. It is simply Free-for-ALL.
Arena is an entirely different concept than zone PVP and thus has nothing to do with this. People choose to go into zone PVP for the non ending free world living environment. Arena is meant to fight a match with definite ending and definite victor.
Simply put. Add a single option to choose red or blue when entering a PVP zone. The rest is irrelevant.
Allowing Rogues/Vig to access from either side and setting that as their PvP alignment, however, would work. -
So the general consensus is "so bad it's good"? I may go see it this week.

I bet it'd be Sister Psyche dying.
HOWEVER:
Bear in mind her "mind-riding" ability. She'll use it to continue to live with her husband, Manticore, sharing his body. Think of the fun that would cause! -
Quote:Again, you don't know a thing about what you're talking about. You said "since Issue 0", however Containment (which is the only thing that brings controller damage above defender damage) was not in launch. It wasn't added until Issue 5.Originally Posted by EvilRyu
Again as I said useless, in almost all case a troller is going to out damage them.

Quote:So, what do you suggest they change Conserve Power to?Originally Posted by Scirion
Energize != Energy Drain. If it did, I wouldn't have a problem with it. On SO's, Energize heals for roughly 587 every 62 seconds. On 5 out of a possible 10 targets, Energy Drain (also on SO's) heals for roughly 322 every 31 seconds. 10 targets puts you at 702 every 31 seconds. At the same time, Energize is costing you 10 endurance, while Energy Drain is refilling your endurance. See the difference? EA is unique in having a power that functions similarily to a weak version of Dark Regeneration and Dark Consumption combined into one power, on a fairly short recharge. That uniqueness has now been replaced by pasting in a power from another set, turning EA into "just another Defense set". And a relatively "meh" one, at that.
Also, in response to... Whoever it was talking about the defense numbers... This is all entirely from a Stalker standpoint, mind you:
Remember, for this proliferation, they have to drop Conserve Power, because it's available in scrapper APPs. -

Quote:Actually, there are legitimate times to dislike wholesale KB. Like when you're relying on having enemies around you for your powers. Like if I'm running in on my /psi blaster, I'd be right annoyed if I set off Drain Psyche and only caught one enemy because of KB. Or with Soul Drain or Dark Regeneration.Originally Posted by StratoNexus
Indeed, your teammates should watch in awe as you do all your stuff damnit! I always say the only reason to dislike KB is melee ego-tripping; you and I are some of the few who are willing to admit it!
However, these are not problematic with just a little bit of communication. "Hold off on the KB so I can pop off Drain Psyche" or "Don't knock everything away from me when my health dips, I need them there for my heal." -
Quote:You are aware that the weapons don't actually have any clipping, right?Originally Posted by Mezmeara
Gads Zooks! That's horrible! Pleasepleasepleaseplease say it ain't anything like what the Titan Weapons are *really* going to be like.
I'm aprehensive enough about this new power set looking extremely "compensative" without it also looking absurdly impossible to actually use!
Bad enough having to tryand share space and maneuver around the MM pets that are running around, now we're going to have to maneuver around weapons too?!
YUCK!

Quote:NO. KB chances are horrid things, implements of Satan. 100% KB on a power makes it a wonderful positioning tool. Chances for KB cause scatter, because not everything gets knocked back.Originally Posted by theduke24
hopefully its only a minor chance?

Quote:That's not a punishment. Nothing is taken away if you close the league. The Astral and buff were added for Open leagues in I20.5. Calling it a punishment for closing the league is abusing terminology.Originally Posted by Psychic Guardian
They lose an Astral Merit per run and a buff. We shouldn't be punished for trying to be organized and put the league together beforehand instead of using the randominvitesystem they added for trials.

Quote:"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."Originally Posted by Snow Globe
No, I'm seeing posts like I quoted from Noxilicious as being vitriol.
None of Nox's posts have been caustically critical (which is what "vitriol" means). Caustic criticism is criticism that is meant to be hurtful to the target, whereas her posts have been expressly about certain unfortunate implications of the art.
You're kidding, right? You honestly believe that asking the people reconsider a few things due to actual effects they have is equivalent to "curtailing free speech"? Do you consider it "curtailing free expression" when people ask you to say things politely, too?Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
I also see the criticisms as pushing an agenda that would see free speech being curtailed. Some group perceiving themselves as victims will always come out of the woodwork and claim whatever they need to do to silence others.
There's a difference between exaggerated and impossible. I took a quick look through other comics, and the only time I've seen that bend in the spine of a male superhero was Batman getting his back broken over Bane's knee. Just because something is commonplace doesn't make it acceptable. After all, bullying is commonplace in schools, but it's hardly acceptable.Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Because that is what art, and especially comic book superhero art, does. It exaggerates poses to give a sense of movement and action. You never show the moment at the beginning (start of the swing, or the sky about to fall) or end of a pose (unless it is an explosion, but rarely someone curled up in a ball), but something just after the impact. -
Quote:Repeat after me: The problem is not Sister Psyche's costume. It is her horrible pose. The pose which is practically impossible to actually put yourself in, that emphasizes her boobs and her butt.Originally Posted by Snow Globe
Repeat after me: It is an image based on a superhero comic book theme, which includes skimpy outfits for females. Sister Psyche's outfit is fully genre for female superheroes.
That pose is nowhere near. For one, her back is flat, and her torso is aligned with her hips. Sister Psyche's back is bent at a severe (for a spine) angle, and her torso is behind her hips. The unnatural bend of the back is the number one problem with her pose.Quote:Originally Posted by Snow Globe
The woman has a similar pose. Though she is looking ahead, not behind her. The object of her terror is less than the destruction of the city. She doesn't have a super hero comic book figure, but if she did she would look similar to Sister Psyche. -
Quote:Actually, you get Ouroboros at level 25, not 24 currently. And you have to train to 25, not just be combat level 25.Originally Posted by Adeon Hawkwood
The other option is to use Flashbacks. Once you get to level 24 you can gain access to Ourborus which will allow you to go "back in time" and redo missions that you missed the first time around, reducing your effective level to the range suitable for the mission.

It's generally considered proper form to not edit out your problem, but rather to add "hey, this is how I solved it", so that if someone else has the problem, they can look at your thread and get it done right away.

-
As the title says. The arc, as it currently stands, is antithetical to teaming through it, due to the middle set of her missions being given out in a completely random order, thus preventing concerted efforts to do the arc together. No other arc in this game does this.
In short, fix this horrible oversight. -
Echoing a few other posters, one glaring problem with this problem is the very blatant changes to BAB. As a comparison, here's a still from one of the CoV launch trailers:
Compare that to the piece of art we were given in this thread. Not only was BAB's skin lightened quite a bit (the comparisons to Dave Bautista are spot on, he's looking like he's Greek/Filipino rather than black), his hair was straightened. In the CoV trailer, he has extremely curly hair, such that this new hairstyle looks like he took a chemical straightener to it.
The problem with this is how common such lightening of skin tones is in media. There was even a case where singer Beyoncé Knowles (who is already quite light-skinned) had her skin tone lightened by a magazine editor for their cover.
Sister Psyche's pose (and unfortunate facial expression) are a separate problem that has plagued comic books horribly. The attempt at making a feminine pose has left her with at minimum a strained spine, and for those less flexible, a broken one.
