I just noticed that the third guy from the left is totally checkin' Adventure Boy out. Maybe it's just as well they tossed him out. He probably wasn't lookin' for quite that level of cultural outreach.

As the title says, I think it'd be the best way to see the old City of Heroes off and usher in the new City of Heroes Freedom era. Plus, it could be an easy bonus for some of the more prolonged recent downtime. -

2. You could do it solo.... it would take prohibitively long, though.
Devs hate soloists.

The general public is wary or mistrustful of super-people at this point.

It'd probably work better as a community college or voke-tech program anyway. "And when you've completed the course, the AK-47* is yours to keep!"
* Rifle may vary. It probably won't be an actual AK-47 anyway, since those haven't been made since 1956 and the vast majority of the rifles you see identified as such on the news are actually AKMs. Void where prohibited. -

I'm beginning to wonder why we let them have their own country over there in the first place..

No developer intervention required!

Here we go again. Bill, don't you have a paste for this?

It was happening in the comics at about the same time, both in the early 1940s. Superman for the first 3 years or so may have been vulnerable enough to be killed by a nuke, but we really don't know.

Ok, but I would have to ask as to what the harm would be in, say, being able to change the secondary power set at least.

And are Kitty's abilities even dependent on her holding her breath anymore?

This is like asking if it's too early to start drinking. If you even thought to ask, you already know your own answer.

Quote:You've been around long enough to have your permanent Nemesis staff! What more do you want?Originally Posted by Memphis_Bill
I'm not asking for one-shotting with my snap shot. Really. I just want enough damage that, if something's running off with 15 hit points left, I have a reasonable chance of turning and firing at it and actually killing it.
(Seriously, I do not know how I survived levels 1-15 before I got that thing. Utterly indispensable. If only I could slot it for accuracy... ) -
Quote:Well, I suppose it partially depends on what you mean by "physically struck". I mean, any given Green Lantern could probably take a tactical nuke, if he, she, or it had sufficient warning, but there would be forcefields involved. There wouldn't be a direct exposure. Same goes for your really powerful sorcerer types, like Doctors Fate and Strange.Originally Posted by Kitsune9tails
More to the point though, what superheroes could get physically struck by circa '76 tac nuke and survive?
As far as just stepping up and takin' it on the chin goes, there's... hmm. The Tick... that guy with the mohawk from the Shi'ar Imperial Guard... under some writers the Hulk would just be made bigger by such an experience... and I can think of a handful of supernatural/semi-corporeal types, though in their cases "survive" is kind of a relative concept. I mean, the Spectre (for instance) is already dead, and he's arguably one of those "incarnations of various concepts."
It'd probably only annoy a herald of Galactus, too, but it's kind of a stretch calling them heroes.

Actually...this gives me an idea. Completely silly mind you, but an idea none the less...what if you summoned each of the minor parts, and then the level 18 ability combined them into the giant robot for a brief period of time?

I've always roleplayed that Shadow Guardinal has a condo in Galaxy City.

Quote:I know what you mean. One does hate to feel like one is just standing there not contributing when it's clobberin' time. That's why I always end up taking the attacks, even though they are essentially worthless. I can at least act like I'm not just standing there letting the guys do all the work.Originally Posted by Samuel_Tow
I've always felt that Masterminds need to have a high ranged damage mod. Their attacks are already unimpressive by virtue of them only having three, one of which is AoE. But if the attacks were meaningful, then there would be a point to take them and I wouldn't feel like such a four-sided idiot for doing so anyway.

Quote:Or Steve from Borderlands. Heyoooooo!Originally Posted by Kitsune Knight
Funny... I read that this morning, but when I said that, I was totally referencing Marik and his ability to poses anyone named 'Steve'! That, or 'Steve' from the episode of South Park I'd watched a couple hours before that, where they found an ancient man frozen in ice (from the far back year of 1996!).

I have nothing to add, I just wanted to note (as a sadly former beagle buddy myself) that your icon is adorable.

Oh, here we go.

And remember, kids, if you want to make a sarcastic riff on the game's title to highlight your current favorite perceived shortcoming, it's just "City of $WHATEVER", e.g. City of Gimps, City of Civilians, City of Inexplicably Restrictive Lore. Appending : Freedom will not be necessary even after the changeover. We'll know what you mean without it.

Quote:I was about to say, "Either your local pizzeria is the pizzeria of the gods or they are ripping you the hell off," but then I remembered that it is, in fact, no longer 1991 outside my head, where the price of a large pizza remains around $8 and comic books are still worth buying. It's hard living with a permanently timeshifted consciousness.Originally Posted by zachary_EU
