"Ghost" is technically non-Caucasian, so maybe Numina counts?

Well, it's good to know that the recovery-from-space project is starting to bear the promised fruit.

Quote:I've noticed that kind of thing happening in tip missions a lot, particularly the kind where you're supposed to rescue somebody. You've just entered the mission, you're standing in the lobby with nobody around, and from somewhere comes the dialogue the hostage and captor are, from context, obviously supposed to say when they see you. That needs fixed.Originally Posted by Robotech_Master
Personally, I'd like to have that one dying Vanguard officer in the last mission of the Lady Grey Trial silenced. Or at least, silenced in the rest of the map. It's like he's dying into a PA system--no matter where you go, you can hear his moaning and groaning. Yeesh. Just shut up and die already.

Quote:For these to work (particularly the middle one), the doorman would have to have some way of telling whether you're arriving or leaving; otherwise, as is currently the case, you've got him blurting out stuff that makes no sense at all to people who've just left the building. That could probably be achieved, but just removing their dialogue is a lot easier for the programmers.Originally Posted by Doctor Roswell
Maybe instead of shutting up, they could say something useful or informative? Indicate to new/returning players who don't already know what this "Vanguard DPO" thing on their map is... well, what it actually is?
"It's a War Zone in there, $name."
"We're looking for heroes like you to help repel the rikti, $name. Head inside if you're up to the challenge."
"Levantera's been asking about you, $name. You oughtta talk to her sometime."

Come people we are all trying to get more Incarnate components.

The dialogue of the Vanguard DPO doormen has never made a ton of sense, particularly when you happen to be leaving the building ("No further without proper clearance," dude? Really? I'm entering Atlas Park), but now that access to the War Zone isn't level-restricted either, it's completely pointless and a bit annoying. It's about time they piped down.

Quote:Oddly, this is more or less what Black Mask used his company's toxic makeup for in the Batman comics, back in the day. It wasn't deliberately designed to do that, but once he found out that was what it did, hey, when you're a villain you work with what you've got.Originally Posted by Dr_MechanoEU
1) Pure insane revenge. The cream is designed to disfigure, that is the primary goal of Ms. Supervillain.

The definition you're referring to is practically obsolete in modern English. Words evolve over time.

Well, I liked it...
There are all those tip missions where you have to fight yourself; this is a natural extension of that dynamic (if not the mechanic).
For that matter, it occurs to me that that same mechanic could be used for a system where you call yourself in for backup. That would be pretty funny, particularly if, like the doppelgängers in tip missions, the other yous show up in costumes that aren't quite the right colors. "Thanks, alternate-universe Captain Photon!" "No problem, alternate-universe Captain Photon." You could even get the odd tip mission that's one of your alternate universe counterparts calling you back to return the favor. It's just like a Batman: The Brave and the Bold plot! )

Quote:Sounds exactly like what my actual dog does, although to make it really, properly realistic the in-game dog would also occasionally have to catch sight of a squirrel and race off at top speed, dragging your torn-off arm behind him.Originally Posted by jacktar
The alt walks at a steady pace but the pet just walks and stops, walks and stops. It looks and feels not right.

Quote:The game used to suppress stealth powers on characters who had NPCs trying to follow them. Oh my God, the whining.Originally Posted by DocArcus
Last time this happened to me I just turned on walk and worked my way out. The only thing to watch for is ambushes. This only happens to my toons that have some kind of stealth power that I had used in the mission (power or IO on a power.) Not sure if the system just doesn't realize that the power is off or if it's some other issue, but it doesn't happen very often to me.

Quote:True that. At least in the old days they'd have had the decency to be parodying that kind of big-two-style bullcrap.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I'm not interested in the kind of dark, depressing emo drama the game is descending into. The mere fact that we now have an ongoing story whose main selling point is that someone will die is just sad, to be honest.

You know what would be really super cool?
If you could right-click the pet, get a list of the villain types in the zone, select one and the dog would find one. -

OK, it's a little sad losing Jan, but she's an acceptable loss if it means not having to deal with Hank. -
I've got to say I'm rather amused by all the self-righteous grumpiness out of people who are plainly so far from the target demographic it's not even visible from where they're parked. Do you guys also get bent out of shape about the simplicity of the plots on Dora the Explorer?

Quote:Hmph. That's a bit lame. Dogs have names. Still, no name at all is better than all of them going around with generic tags.Originally Posted by Lemur Lad
Can't be targeted in any way, and as far as I know displays no name of any sort, player given or otherwise.

Can it be named - you know, like a dog - or is everyone who has one going around accompanied by "German Shepherd"? 'Cause that's always been the lame thing about the vet pets.

This presentation gives the impression that Loki is one of the Avengers, which would actually be pretty funny.
