Wolf: zomg! want nao. non-combat pet. combat pet. base pet. gimme. Why he no howl? (But don't make him a constant howler.)
I don't...understand. How do you see stars through an opaque moon? And if you can see the moon, you can't see stars. The light reflected off the moon washes out everything else.Quote:Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Moon: Please make this moon (and all the moons in CoH) opaque. We should see stars through it. Bonus points if it washes out the stars nearby it. -
Quote:So is Twinshot's last one, either that or they need to switch it and the "mirror mirror" arc around. As it is now, if you do Twinshots stories and then mirror mirror, the govt is STILL confused by the use of the word "clockwork" because they don't know they are praetorian robots.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
They do - which is why Admiral Sutter's TF is in the wrong level range
Your character should be able to say "I have information relevant to this conversation!" lol -
Quote:How are any of them still alive after the LRSF? Statesman even talks to you differently if you have that badge when you talk to him in the alpha incarnate arc, so that means they didn't die from it.Originally Posted by Venture
No, and no, unless they're willing to grant my request to kill the entire Freedom Phalanx.
I guess that answered my own question, lol but that begs a different one. Why wouldn't the villains kill them in the LRSF? What was the point? -

Quote:Because the last line of that meme is "For Great Justice!"Originally Posted by CoX_Zombie
hmmmm,
Yep, that familiar feeling of a hot red cheek after receiving A SLAP TO THE FACE!
Really though, how did the All ur Base meme relate to SJt being released?
Which everyone on the first and second pages seemed to get. -

No. We got Time for free and the devs have said more free sets are coming.

Quote:Oh. I was under the impression that the PP was NOT "extra", but what we were due for September and got them slightly early. I further gathered from other posts that this would change for October.Originally Posted by Aggelakis
Let's say your billing date is October 5.
1. Sever Transfers are awarded on the first of the month. (i.e. October 1)
2. Paragon Points are awarded on your billing date (i.e. October 5) - however, Freedom launch was frontloaded with extra PP, so if your account was active during launch, you got extra PP. Therefore, if your billing date is before October 11 (according to a GM), you won't get your PP until October 11
3. Paragon Reward Tokens are awarded at the end of your billing month (i.e. November 4)
Yes, this means that anyone whose billing date is October 1 through October 10, you won't get your PP until October 11.
Yes, that means the rewards are all on a different award date. Yes, that is kind of dumb. -
Ok, now I'm confused because I just got my billing date on 10/2/2011. I don't have any points or tokens. It is no longer September.

Quote:Yes, I was. Thanks for clarifying.Originally Posted by warden_de_dios
are you referring to this post by Beastyle?
It took support 14 days to come up with this response, you can follow Caulderone's support ticket in this thread. Pay attention to the answers support gave on the 22nd.
This wasn't planned and time had to be invested into figuring out what happened. -
Quote:Actually, I'm pretty sure that's not what happened at all. The exact post is in the Dev Digest, but the gist of it is everyone got it when Freedom launched on purpose.Originally Posted by warden_de_dios
On September 14th the system tripped out and gave everyone(?) their next monthly stipend early. For some people that stipend came a couple of days early, for some people that stipend came a couple of weeks early, and for other people it came almost a whole month early.
I don't think it was the plan, it just happened. I'm interested to see what happens when the 14th of October rolls around. -
Did anyone see the previews of Marvel Comics Fear Itself #7? Where Iron Man gives the Avengers weapons from Odin which turns them into "the mighty"? Wouldn't it be ironic for Paragon to sue Marvel. lol

Quote:See, now that you have to define "mass graves" as something that is substantially LESS than "mass graves", now I have to question what it is you mean by "Pile of corpses". Is that like, 3 unconscious people lying down?Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
To the game's credit, you don't actually see the grave itself, as you just see a guy digging it next to a pile of corpses. But the mere fact that I'm talking about a "pile of corpses" and in no way alluding to zombies should speak for itself. Yes, that's evil. So are a whole bunch of things I'd rather not bring up for fear of being moderated YET AGAIN. Just because they're "evil" doesn't really make them the right choice for the game, or indeed make them in good taste.
And indeed, "good taste" is what I feel most of the evil in City of Villains is missing. It's intended to make me wretch, not make me feel I just made a cool villain.
You don't do it yourself. You can't control Arachnos, especially before you arrive. Arachnos are mostly not actually supervillains, but soldiers running a government. You have permission to live there, nothing more. YOU are the villain, not them. You can fight them, and indeed, do that very often. You don't have to have anything to do with mass murder.
You bring up "evil" and "good taste" often in the same sentence. At the risk of agreeing with Golden Girl, I'm genuinely perplexed at what evil things are in good taste. -
Quote:Oh, so it's just one poster using extreme hyperbole? That's disappointing.Originally Posted by all_hell
In the tutorial there's a row of LB on their knees who're shot by Arachnos. I think there may have been a shallow ditch near them.

Seriously, can someone tell me where these "MASS GRAVES" are, and how to play that arc? Cause that sounds interesting.

What did they improve redside? All I saw were downgrades.

Quote:Ok, first of all, Mass Graves?! How did I miss that? and second, how is that not villainy?Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
There's something about a PG rating in there, and also something about different kinds of evil, only one of which is "disgusting." And people reading this, please don't bring Rogues up. Those aren't available until level 20.
Mass graves and piles of corpses may be legitimate villainy in some people's books, but as far as I'm concerned, I prefer to avoid that sort of thing. I prefer to write villains less obsessed with... Being Crosscut and more with achieving grandstanding objectives ruling the world.
Seriously, I do prefer players being able to select the exact...degree of evil that they are willing to pursue. I was uncomfortable on one level of killing some longbow just because she broke someone's heart...but most of my evil characters would totally do it. -
Quote:"THE" Shivans? Obviously the green ones in Bloody Bay still do. Perhaps the question should be "Do ALL Shivans do that?" Perhaps they don't have to.Originally Posted by Megajoule
Do the Shivans still consist of alien protoplasm around a partial human skeleton, along with a meteor fragment? If not, are there any plausible theories in-game about why this has changed? (Out of game, is it at all connected to Chinese cultural issues regarding the depiction of human remains, and a desire to expand into that market?)

Quote:I was going to post something similar, so I'm right there with you.Originally Posted by FallenValkyrja
Ugh. I know, covered before in other conversations but it still really bothers me. You can use a clip to quickly reload a magazine or a revolver and if he was using a revolver he may have had a clip or two to quickly re-load it.
Other than that I really enjoyed the story and hope that we have not read the last on Det. Ghaly.
Also hate the "empty clips" power in DP, I wish it was "empty mags" but that will probably never happen. -

Did anyone here go to herocon in 2009 and buy any of the convention exclusive costume powers for $20 American? Just wondering. I believe they did sell out.

Also, I thought the Back Alley Brawler was shown in the "who will die" teaser poster and his gloves was one of the images. Shouldn't it be someone is targeting members of the Freedom Phalanx "and also the Back Alley Brawler"? lol -
Spoiler Alert.
Ok, I played the new villain arcs, and at first I thought they were really good. I looked on paragonwiki for my choices, and although I liked what you can ultimately do to Fire Wire (you have a choice, which is good), his arc looked a little too "idiot card" to me. It seems he plays you for a patsy the whole time and you teach him a lesson at the end.
So, I chose Doctor Weber instead. His are more straightforward, no choice, but he doesn't mess with you, either.
Then you get offered Lt. Harris. Now we're talking supreme evil. I thought this was great at first, but then, you don't have any choice here either. You must kill this woman because she rejected the contact. Sure, she is Longbow, but...maybe this motivation might not do it for you, especially if you are prone to more roguish thoughts? And maybe you ARE a woman that has had to reject someone, and feel some sympathy for her? Too bad! The one choice you are offered is to take him out once the deed is done. Personally, I feel it might be better if you could say hey, you're kinda crazy I'm not killing her. Even though my villains almost certainly would take the choice to do it. lol
Then we come to the Dr. Graves training arcs. Talk about the idiot card! WOW!
He treats you like crap the entire time. Always talking down, being furious. I could not find a legitimate answer for why the player just doesn't snap this guy's neck for his sheer insolence. You are strung along with the prospect that these fellow villains are your competitors, and that you will be able to take them out after all is said and done, and you do not. Everybody lives. Even Graves, who basically shows you gratitude, but mocks you at the end. He says "where do you think you are, paragon city?" No, sir, that is not the difference. The difference is that here, we can kill our contacts for crossing us! Oh, wait, they have Aron Thiery. I mean, really, if there ever was a perfect place to put a "kill this guy" option, that is it. Especially if you just did the Virgil Tarikoss strike force, which is in the exact same level range, who also plays you like a fool, and then says "haha, I'm really a hero, there's nothing you can do about it and I"m just gonna stand here laughing at you".
So what I'm saying is I kinda like the arcs (the mission where you defeat Crosscut is hilarious at the end), but more choice is good. Right now you go from supremely evil to "diet coke of evil" without missing a beat, and you just go right along with the words that are put in your mouth. They have the technology to make these arcs better, it just seems like the opportunity isn't being taken.
