I am reminded of the idea that time/multiverse is a coiled hose. It's pretty easy to get to the ones right next to you, but you have a bit more work following along the line, unless you break through the wall/hose and go to the universe directly above/below you.

Yeah, "back in the day" Impale had an 80ft range. I forgot when it was changed, but I'd guess in the I6-I9 time frame, if not further back. -
Quote:I was gone about a year, BrandX. I was surprised on how short the range was compared to then. I mean 40' was doable, not as good as 80', but doable. Now it seems I am about 20' away before I can use it. Oh well, guess I will have to do some detailed analysis, and leave feedback if there is a problem.Originally Posted by BrandX
How long you been gone? Impale is at 40ft and Throw Spines at 30.
I believe they used to have a farther range, but that was A LONG time ago. -
Did they nerf Impale again for spines? Not recently obviously but when I was on sabbatical? I have been playing my lvl 50 spines scrapper and I have to be darn near melee range to use any of my ranged powers from the set.

So: Paragon City is evil, then.

Welcome to Primal Earth.
Many of the better tourist spots are located at our Visitors Center.
If you plan on staying for an extended amount of time, please report to Extraterrestrial Immigration and apply for the appropriate visa or citizenship application.
Keep in mind that extraterrestrials, extradimensionals, and artificial life forms are barred from applying for governmental office.
Have a nice day. -
Quote:Well that at least makes senseOriginally Posted by Golden Girl
That was a side effect brought on by the writers probably not getting out quite as often as they should
The real reason was that Statesman wanted to get her to change her evil ways, and to help get her to be more normal, several of the female heroes took her out clubbing - with mixed results -
Quote:Kitsune, I am not saying you are wrong, but are you serious? They kidnapped her to watch her pole dance? :baffle:Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
Extradimensional invaders kidnapped his grand daughter, took her to a nightclub and watched her pole dance.
I must admit I'm not sure what an appropriate response to that would be. -
Quote:Preferably I would say no, and go back to my cell. Doing so, on the other hand, pretty much ends that characters life lol.Originally Posted by BrandX
Steals you away? I'm pretty sure you get a choice or not of getting on that helecopter from tutorial...and everyone seems to say "yes"

Quote:But when you listen to them they are still starving. The Lost ARE homeless and others that are being Riktified. Whether it's a cult or what not is irrelevant. They are starving and they are homeless now.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Once they team up with the Rikti, they have access to better stuff than a normal homeless person would have
And personally I get the giggles when I turn a Lost boss back into a human and the other Lost turn on them. -
Just because you are a villain does not mean you are from the Rogue Isles. That nut job Recluse just steals you away and they have no extradition treaty with the US.

Oh yeah. Grosse Pointe Blanke. For a realistic fight scene, it had one of the best fight scenes I have seen. And proof that the pen is mightier than the sword.

Let's see here.
1: Really bad acting B budget mockbuster Transmorphers. Don't watch if you are looking for decent cinema. I compare this to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
2: St. Trinians School for Bad Girls
3: Torchwood and Primeval are on netflix, and they are both on instant view as well.
4: The Maiden Heist. Christopher Walken, Morgan Freeman, and the actor that played the Shoveler are all security guards in a museum trying to steal their favorite piece of work before it's shipped off.
5: Hardwired. Cuba Gooding Jr. in a cyperpunk-ish world. The special effects reminded me of what a hacker should have been able to do.
6: Law Abiding Citizen. Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx. A really intense thriller.
7: Gunsword is on instant view as well. A good anime, as is Exile. -
Quote:Venture nails it. Doom is intelligent, sophisticated, has taste, and CARES about his people.Originally Posted by Venture
Recluse is an Anti Sue: he is simultaneously a total doofus who couldn't intrigue his way out of a paper bag and loses all the time and the point around which the entire redside world revolves.
He is not even close to being an analog of Doom. At best he's an analog of Baron Strucker. Cobra Commander -- the cartoon version -- is an even better fit.
Recluse is a mad man who is laughable at times. -
Quote:I am not pointing out names, mainly in part due to the fact that I got over myself and realized that alot of the harsh responses were not personal but fed with frustration. I do know that I have been on the recieving end of one of your responses before, but whether that dealt with Market Economics or the Spine Customization, I could not answer. It's like the character slot issue in EQ2. The devs keep saying, "Tech can't support it." Really it is "We would lose to much money from people dropping Station Exchange, and our contract with a 3rd party company does not allow it."Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
As a maker *of* some of the canned responses, you're reading too much into them (at least mine.) While I may start off with an opinion, they're created (in my case) as a shortcut to the discussion, instead of 10 pages of "Well, this" "No, this," with the same arguments coming up. If there are developer comments, they're put in there. The usual arguments for or against are put in, with reasoning behind them.
Thus, the person posting can get an overview of what's happened before, and if they can find a way to modify the idea or come up with an alternate way to "make it work" (barring a developer's "no, we're not going to do that" such as AT/powerset change respecs) they can do so without getting sidetracked by pages of back and forth.
(An example of modifications that got in - vehicles. We've had multiple reasons they traditionally wouldn't work, yet some people want to just "leave/show up in style" - so a temp power that works much like a mission teleporter might work. It still has multiple problems dealing with the character itself, but it gets around a lot of the other objections.)
From my point of view, unless someone wants to start the thread all over again, try to do a search, and read the comments before you post. If someone does post it, calmly point out it's an old issue. -
Quote:No biggie Vile. I actually based my toon after Spider-Girl but it comes to the same thing in the end. As for the player/forumite, yeah I am a guy, but I do not put myself out there as being single or *ahem* 'playful' to put it tactfully.Originally Posted by VileTerror
Kinda getting hung up on a strange thing there, Lisar, aren't you?
Whether or not the Devs said it first, I can attest to BlackArachnia's sentiment being valid. Some forumites leap down others' throats whenever a subject is brought up which those particular forumites consider a 'dead horse.' It's quite common, even if the specific examples which BlackArachnia listed don't have abundant source material to prove her point.
Ps: Apologies for my assumption of your gender, BlackArachnia. I was merely basing it off of my fondness for Beasties / Beast Wars.
@Lisar. Your search fu is probably better than mine, I did not start reading the forums untill just prior to Issue 5. Slashman pointed out to me the GDN. If you want specific examples, feel free to look. Me? I could barely find the CO thread I know is in here. :blush: -
The old row about power set proliferation was that the devs wanted to keep the uniqueness of the ATs. Whether the devs actually said that or not, I have no clue. I never read a statement like that. But because it came up so often prior to happening, a portion of the forum base simply got annoyed when ever it was brought up, and had a canned response it seemed.

Quote:I have been playing off and on since launch day, and even then, I would occasionally mention something that is being beta to death. At that point people would come out of the woodwork and say "The devs say it's not possible."Originally Posted by Pimpstress_Bambi
I completely agree with you. The way this board is set up, new people come in a make a comment on something they feel strongly about, and get bombarded with mean comments. Why is it that when someone posts an idea people have to come back rudely and make comments as if they were the devs themselves? Is it so hard to say, I understand why you think this is a good idea, but I do not agree? Do they really have to be rude, and then turn the conversation to grammar? New people get scared away from these boards, and a lot of them are veteren players, that actually have a little knowledge to share. Besides isn't this board here to improve the game? If we scare everyone away how are we going to do that?
Weapon customization.
Power customization.
Power proliferation.
Whips.
If we do not tell them what we want, how can they strive to make new things? -

I don't think yours is actually turned off at the moment.

It should be....
*ducks into account to figure this out*

And I actually had 4 stars :baffle: -
I just turned off my rep, Greenflame. It was just easier to deal with that way. E-peen waving was never my thing.
