I use character as a carry over from my Pen and Paper RPG days. I will use toon if other people in the group are using it just to stay in context.

Personally, there is little difference in my mind. One may argue that saying toon means you take the RPG element less seriously - they are there for pure entertainment, not an extension or alteration of one's personality. Either way, it is just a different way of refering to one's character.

Maybe I'll start calling mine E.P.s.

Can you tell us if the jetpack will remain visible or will it vanish when the 30 seconds is up. Obviously the power benefit would vanish after the 30 seconds but.. just hoping there's a way to keep it visible for those characters who want that option for their costume.

From a powers/animation standpoint, the backpack geometry fades away after a period of non-use. I do not believe the geometry is available as a 'Cape' option so it is always present, though. I'm not Jay, though, so I could certainly be wrong!

[/ QUOTE ]

But would it be possible to put a backpack in as a cape option? I know a few tech-heroes that would really like this.

[/ QUOTE ]

Ditto... wait, I'm repeating myself here.

So... lets go ask Jay:
Jay, buddy, is it an option treated like a cape or will it be a darn good looking peice of art we would love to have on all the time and thus denied the pleasure of consistency? Inconsistent costume peices are annoying

I think more appropriately: will there be a way to make the Jet Pack permanently visible? Will it function as an unlock for a costume peice added to the cape section?

Thanks CuppaJo for all the work you've put into the community. You will definately be missed.

Hmmm... So you could not make it 'villain' for targeting purposes and have all damage count as direction movement? I understand the physics our on our side (having run two accounts side by side I notice some funny things) but it would be pretty interesting to see the ball suddenly make a course correction.

Course... it would create some server lag.

So, is it you who put the long bow fighting clocks in GC near the hospital?

I was surprised to see that spawn there on Test the other day, but quite delighted about it.

So simple... so very simple.

I like it.

Anyone up for Volley Ball in Talos?

Another twist. I'm a novelist. I'm a writer. I write novels for a living.
What if I want to write a novel of my character, or are in the middle of writing a novel and decide to remake a char in CoH/V?

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't do it.

Basically, Cryptic/NCsoft owns all characters/names/images that appear in CoH/CoV.

If you were a special case (say you were Warren Ellis, and you wanted to make Spider Jerusalem in the game, and you contacted Cryptic, and they gave you the nod), it might work out (and there would probably be lawyers or at least some serious paperwork involved). But those instances are nebulous and so few and far between, it's not worth risking.

Keep your CoH/CoV characters seperate from those you plan to sell, and you should be fine.

cheers,

Well shucks... already made one with the name of a character from a short story I wrote and had published. Where does that leave us?

I love this game. I almost never complain. But this time I feel I need to.
Patron choice being permanent? Bad, but perhaps necessary.
Having to chose a patron? Very bad. I'm sorry, but my Mastermind is an evil genius with plans of world-domination and an ego the size of a galaxy. In-character, he would never, NEVER take a patron. From the sound of it, I'm going to have to break character. I want to play an archvillain who's trying to take over, not an apprentice of a bigger villain!

[/ QUOTE ]

You are not forced to do any of the Patron content.

You would think some villains never heard of Back Stabbing.

OK... I jump on.

Um...

Wow...

Holy....

You guys just keep finding new ways to earn my money.

Indeed. The AV thingy is much needed. I was surprised by a couple missions which I had done where the main villain had been an Elite Boss in previous runs with other characters only to see them changed to an AV whith another character later on. Lets just say the Hospital was tired of seeing my face.

Why such a high arbitrary number?

I suppose you have to have some way to tax us reliably.

Prceless.


5 Stars to you.

Cool.

It would be a valid tactic if one was able to get out of the tower.

Perhaps the simplest answer is to raise the height of the roof? Actually, that would not be, since that would require a bit of art reworking. So I suppose the answer would be similar to what they do with stores and the hospital: the invisible wall of TP protection. Now no one can get into the tower.

Noted.

We also need to add more Contacts from levels 35-40.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh yes, more 35-40 in the Hero area would be lovely.

Ummm.... 1 + 1*3 = 1 Uh-huh... yeah!


Gotta love the math they are teaching kids these days.

Hey guys,

Manticore funded *and* founded Wyvern. The rest of the Phalanx are not aware of that however.

Carry on...

Good thing they don't read these forums.

Very nice. Thank you.
