Just out of curiosity.

My very first character, Maiden Canada, was created as a Supergirl-type character and I envisioned her as being 15-ish. Several years have passed in-game now, but I still consider her to be in her mid-teens, as making her 22-23 just doesn't fit my view of the character. I've tried not to include any mention of specific years or events in her bio to allow me to keep her perpetually young, but as the game's story progresses, it's a bit harder.

Anyone else consider their characters age, or do you not bother?

Ok, that's now on my must-see list, lol. They somehow managed to film my recurring fantasy.

Those are awesome. Reminds me of my visit to the Philippines. Things like that were all over the place.

I do think it would be kind of cool to try and might be satisfying for the right character, but being able to continue playing the game with other characters as if nothing happened would kind of dilute even that.

If Michelle Rodriguez and Sean Bean did a movie together....

who would die first?

Nice. They got me at the beginning with the ad...

I don't know if I am the only one who was disappointed that they de-powered Alice in the last one, but I hope she starts to get her abilities back.

That touched me much more than the actual episode... Very well done.

I like cutscenes.
/shrug

Although, I would like the option to skip the long ones when I have seen them 20 times.

So with States gone, who is a shining example of all that's good? Sure we have people who we can hope to emulate in terms of power and ability, but who is the moral centre now? Who is the heart of Paragon?

States was our Superman, the guiding force, the one that, no matter how bad things got, if you as a civilian saw him arrive on the scene, you knew you were going to be saved and everything would be ok. Now, of course, there are plenty of heroes who can save the day, but there is no one person to exemplify the ideals of the heroic side.

I understand the desire to kill him off. I do. I know that with the introduction of Incarnates, we are intended to really become the pre-eminent heroes of the CoH universe. But, frankly, the game still doesn't allow it the way it would for an NPC. No matter how many pedestrians walk by and say "Character X fought the Tsoo and saved that news reporter!", we will never have our characters go accept medals from the president, or even the mayor. We'll never hold press conferences. We'll never give speeches before dozens of the next generation of heroes. We'll never stand on a dais, sharing our wisdom to help someone level up.

No matter how you might feel about Statesman as a player, the everyday people of Paragon should sleep a little (or a lot) less comfortably now.

So given that we are supposed to become the biggest and the best of all heroes, who amoung us will stand up to be a Paragon of Virtue? And will the game really allow anyone to notice, beyond a few random pedestrian remarks?

I have been here since day one and I *love* this game. I choose to play this over most of my other games when I have free time. I wish I had the time to play more. I miss my friends who have left (although some have come back), but I can enjoy myself whether I am on a PUG or solo. I am very excited for a number of things coming up.

As for the hate... I sometimes wonder if it is related to the fact that the devs generally do listen to us and try to give us what we want. Beast Mastery is the most recent example. I don't know any other game-- MMO or ortherwise-- where I have seen devs take such joy in surprising their players with fun things that they have been hoping for and been told were not possible.

We, in return, respond by asking for more and more. Suddenly the nice things that they get us are not exactly what we want and we throw temper tantrums. I sometimes feel like we're spoiled kids in a toy store.

Mother: "Here sweetie, I bought you the toy you wanted." *Smiles*
Child: "I wanted the red one! The red one!!" *Throws self on floor, kicking and screaming, eyes rolling to the back of head.*

I've been anxiously awaiting this. I am iffy on the animation and the overall look of the more modern era, but I still can't wait for it

Well, that just sucks.

I don't recall ever having any real discussions with you, myself, but I have been seeing you post here forever. Sad to see you go, but I wish you well in all you do.

Yay, another loincloth that won't be available to the players who have been begging for one.

Issue looks ok, but not overwhelming to me. The preponderance of darkity dark powers continues.
