Curse my shift patterns!

Would have loved to have been there for the big DING!

Congratulations!

Don't worry about it, mate. Not a lot of people were online as I recall lol

If anything, I found it quite dull. i know a lot of people love all that mathematics and power balancing stuff but to me it's kinda boring. As long as I can fly fast, I don't really care how it affects various buffs and such.

Before I bought the game I downloaded the korean app, and it was surprisingly helpful once I'd figured what tabs were for what lol

I believe you can still get it from a couple of bit torrent sites, not that I'd condone something so illegal

And I'm already working on my main villain who's 36 atm

[/ QUOTE ]
I'm guessing that getting a villain to 36 may have helped keep BB's levelling at a sedate pace...

Even though there's more to do at 50 now, it's still the case that the journey should be savoured rather than rushed. Besides - after so long on the journey I bet the big ding feels even bigger.

Hmmm... On readback that last line looks a little suspect... oh well

Ask anyone who plays a AR/Dev blaster and you'll find that mostly it's a complete chore. But I did go on a 2 month villains binge, mainly cos the story arcs are much more engaging, even if the entire map is pitchblack during the day lol

British Beetle - Like some sort of cross between the second Blue Beetle and Captain Britain, with a little Animal Man influence. An alliterative name is always catchy, sticks in your mind.

Booty Call - One of my funnier concepts, ex-prostitute turned sonic-powered superhero :P

Sun-Slinger - My first PB and just an awesome name, like gun-slinger but with light-based powers

Crimson Cutlass - my first legacy character, she's the daughter of the Red Razor, a reference to the Blue King Studios run of CoH comics.

got a few others but they're not quite as cool as those.

thanks to everyone for there gz's, it warms my heart to know that I'm not the only person who had trouble levelling their first toon. And I'm already working on my main villain who's 36 atm Thanks again everyone!! *hugs for all*

I'm proud to announce that my first (and main) toon has finally hit 50 after playing for 15 months (2 years on and off, technically)

Well a badge for saving small street crime sounds like a good idea.

Crime fighter You stopped 100 street crime attempts and helped keep the city safe for the pedestrians.

PR man You stopped 1000 street crime attempts and your face is as familiar to the pedestrtians as it is to the thugs.

and for the villains:
Purse snatcher Easy money you call this, you robbed the robbers.

Protection Racketeer Your presence makes the small time thugs cough up their dough so you don't bust them for their hard earned money.

Those are all great ideas, 'Spade

Instead of running competitions through The Sun website (who's idea was that?) they should give stuff away in contests on the actuall EU site. I will call unfair since it bloody is!

mainly as then they groan and scream at the same time.

it's just a matter of tweaking a few things to give it to us.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll give you that one, purely because you're a beetle. However, don't say things like that unless you happen to work for the Powers Group in NCNC. For starters, the power you're talking about has a load of weird stuff in it which is bound to require more than "a matter of tweaking."

[/ QUOTE ]

Harsh. And true I don't know much about the power development, but I do recognise that it's easier to tweak an existing elelment than creating one from scratch. I only said that as a relative term.

[/ QUOTE ]

Frankly, the only thing that is being saved is the animation and artwork for the swarms. The power calls for them to be triggered by a power and behave in a totally different way to the existing use of that artwork resource.

Now, if you think that's trivial and couldn't possibly cause any issues, just look at the fun they've had with a trivial power like Self-destruction. And that doesn't have tricks in it like Threat Diversion, which currently isn't even in the game as far as I'm aware.

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmm, you have a point. I rescend my opinion.

But yesh, more bug hero parts please! I'd love to have a beetle-themed back-pack

IIRC, Kelly stems from the fact that 'Kelly' was a fairly common Irish name, and a lot of Irish immigrants to the US went into the police force. So cops got nicknamed 'Kellys.'

Just FYI.

[/ QUOTE ]

That just makes me sound racist. It's actually a Scrubs referance, although technically it's "Kelly Ripa"

I'm sure you guys can come up with some good badges too, c'mon! If muggins here can do it, you can too

[ QUOTE ]
New badges are always good - and I'd like one for 300 and 400 and 500 too

[/ QUOTE ]

Glory Hound - earn 300 Badges
"Your hard-fought battles are well remembered and your prescence is well known. Keep it up!"

Villain - "People cower before you wherever you go, you're the baddest villain on Earth!"

Solid Gold - earn 500 badges
"You've earned 500 badges! Shouldn't you be doing something else in this game?"

I love collecting badges, I am a self-confessed badge-[censored]. I'm sure I'm not the only one so I'd like to hear what other people would like to see in badges. here's a few of mine.

Slimer - Defeat 100 Hydra Man O' Wars

Those are some interesting powers but I think the one I like most is the swarm idea. It's graphics are already present ingame, it's just a matter of tweaking a few things to give it to us.

thansk for the comments, guys! As I get more used to drawing him, I'm sure it'll improve

Big surprise from me but I'd like to see a Bug Hero Booster.

There'd be a lot more options for bug heroes such as ant-like mandibles, stag beetle pincers, six/eight-legged back packs (like Arachnos but scaled down), scorpion tails, beetle shells, etc
I'd love to see helmets for bug heroes that look kinda like Kamen Rider Kabuto

I'm not sure on powers since it's hard to think of bug heroes without referencing the web-slinger....

But yeah! Bug Boosters!

As an AR/Dev blaster, I got access to a myriad of shotgun style powers but it'd be cool to have an actual shotgun model in-game ala Army of Darkness.

"Hey deadhead, suck my boomstick"

For the first time ever, I have drawn my main toon! not my best but I'll work on it

British Beetle

It's so hard to find timecards for me, since ordering online isn't an option for me.

pvp style bank job/safe gaurds where you can sign up at a contact then a little bit of match making magic (team size/lvl matching)and boom PVP with a little more purpose.

thus heroes feel heroic and villians feel a little meaner

an interesting idea, I like it!

Helps FrIce with his bags and gives him a hug at the station

It's always sad to see one of our own leave but I hope you get your affairs in order. Farewell, FrIce. /e bow

damn, that base is so pretty.....
