    I wish I knew of it before I bought it, and I bought it as soon as I saw it at Wal-Mart.

    No. But because of your post I decided I had to give everyone (untill it said to much given out) some plus rep.

    An ex SG member, would have multiple poeple cue up Mystic Fortune on her, and then she'd run up to them, and get multiple Fortune's cast on her.

    Did this do away with that?

    So GG has all the power :O

    The longer you have been signed up to the forums, the more posts you have made, then the more "rep weight" you have. Positive rep adds to your "rep weight" as well. Having a high amount of rep in addition to a long duration forum account (even if your account lapsed; vBulletin only cares about reg date) and a high post count means you can move mountains with one jelly bean.

    Grey jelly beans are people who don't have enough "rep weight" to do anything (zero reputation points).
    So, Arcana can hurt your rep more than GG?


  10. I thought GG would like a comparison of the two types of tight options.

    Of course, feel free to steal an existing cannon character, either from the books or the game, but tell us why, and give us your take on their back story.

    I'll give it a think over and do mine shortly.
    Would have to make it my main. Then make it a must to have a foxtail (still refuse to give her foxears untill I get the foxtail), with a RotP clone, but instead of the phoenix, it'd be a fox in flames (whole fox or just the head).

    Roll in game...hmmm...I'd have to think on that. I think as a TF giver for a new TF which would appear in.

    Apparently my current reputation is immediately below BillZBubba, Golden Girl, and macskull. Ok, macskull is pretty well respected on the forums and Golden Girl posts about breasts a lot, but Bill's quit the game like forty or fifty times already. If all those rep points came from ATI video card users AMD would have a market cap ten times higher than Intel's. It seems obvious to me that clearly, sometimes the system just malfunctions.
    Well don't forget there's a +REP me thread somewhere too. So, you can't really judge anything by that.

    And while I don't recall seeing your rep ever hit the red, GG's was 3 red bars in for a bit then it JUMPED to max green bars.

    See. Someone agreed! >_> Now only if I knew who I negative repped as I haven't negative repped anyone in like two weeks. So I could return the favor! It's like tag, only with green and red bars!

    This is where they should have different stories for how you do it then.

    Solo EB (you fought him when we was weak, but you fought him one on one)
    Team EB (you fought him when he was weak, and you needed help)
    Solo AV (Fought him when he was his toughest and beat him, the people follow you)
    Team AV (You couldn't handle him alone, sooo, you got a team together, you're revered, but the people know you can be beat).
  15. I think I've gotten to 3 red bars at one point. Maybe 2.

    I think I even got positive and negative rep on the same post before.

    I figure that's what comes with stating your opinion. I even understand why some people avoid putting their name on the negative rep. I think some of that comes back to the advice I gave you. If they put their name, then you'd beable to neg rep them back, maybe with freinds.

    I wouldn't worry about it. Though I admit, some of the negative rep comments are just stupid. "You're dumb" as a negative rep? Really? People should be held accountable for better comments than that
  16. Admittedly, I haven't done every story arc there is redside (or blueside for that matter). And even reading them as I go, it's more of a quick read to know what your doing at the time, without trying to actually retain it.

    But if I read this thread right. You fight Recluse again? How does that storyline even work, if your using a team the whole time to begin with? Or is it all just written in the story and you never actually try to take him on as an AV, solo?

    If you have a steady attack chain going, then the attack used most often should be enough to see the proc happen in just one attack against a single target.

    I'd also put it in an AOE just for general teaming as well.

    Oh well see, you want to make you in CoH. That's the first problem right there Making yourself in game is just silly.

    Like fabric that realisticly burned off when put on fire.

    It is. Just don't go so huge or use the right costume pieces.

    I don't think we can take what the Maria Jenkins arc has been saying as any sort of idea how the Praetoria storyline is going to play out now.

    The look to be retconning the whole thing imo.

Granted, it was also because it showed off those heroic forms better, but as GG's post showed, that can be done while still not over-simplifying.
    I agreed. But at the same time, I don't think the form-fitting outfits have to go away, and I don't think it means lazy/lousy artist.
