    The inconvenience has really stripped a lot of the shine off of GR for me.
    As I've posted before; rogues and vigilantes can buy and use the opposing side's market teleporter. It is incredibly useful.

    I read that just fine.

    If you have a scanner would you be able to share it with us? The ad that is, not the comic book.

    Making more unique icons would be fine with me, I was running low on ideas as I did this.

    On Mission Map: maybe a little door icon, since so many instances are "door missions."

    Also, what's the difference between a team leader on a full team (who can't invite you) and a team leader on a less than full team (who can)? I didn't see that one listed.

    Some thought should go into making sure the pop-up help is useful too, if it's too cryptic it might end up needing more work.
    I'd find it useful but of course I have no problem with people wanting to join my team I know lots of people in beta commented they'd /hide when they lead teams now.

  8. That's pathetic. Can you use a laser sight for shooting your laser?
    Heck even a red dot would be fine considering Light goes straight

    n00bs just activate their knockback powers by randomly slapping the keyboard, bouncing enemies around willy-nilly while their high-pitched manic laugher is choked by mouthfulls of chocolate cake.

    To answer your question, yes. Only people who don't know what they're doing get booted. I get critisized only until they see me play and realize I'm not one of those slack-jawed, vacantly moon-faced, unwashed, sippycup full of Redbull, booger-barons.

    P.S. I don't like n00bs.

    You've accused him of saying something he has not. In the context of gaming a n00b is referred to as someone who should know better but just flat out refuses to change. A Noob is one who just doesn't know better. Noob, newb, and newbie are all synonyms while n00b is not.

    I know you meant nothing by it but improper usage of terms can confuse others and is best to correct in the short term

    Oh and I suppose I should mention that the only criteria I have for teaming with me is Warm Body and Warm [lead] where lead means you attack things.

    I applaud the dev team for making changes to the Find Member window, but I think it's not quite there yet. At risk of showing off my very meager Photoshop skillz, I'll post up some ideas how I think it could work better.

    First, I'll note that the current Find Member window has a near-useless column, the Origin. I have no idea why this would be even slightly relevant to selecting a team member. There's even pop up help for it.

    Voila:





    What I would suggest is to remove the Origin column and replace it with icons that duplicate the color coding, and those icons could provide a somewhat more mnemonic indication of the status.

    In addition, pop up help could be provided on the icons, so memory challenged folks like myself could just mouse hover over the icon to be reminded what it means.

    I think the icons and the pop up help would also obviate problems for folks with every sort of color blindness.

    Here I've mocked up an example with bad Photoshop skillz::





    Next imagine that you can get short pop-up help for each of these icons if you mouse hover over them.


    OK, I think that does it. Color blind folks and general UI mavens are free to comment.
    I'd say for ease of use change the red No to a Red X and the grey No to another symbol. Perhaps also make the orange No an orange frowning face. Ideally all symbols would be different.

    Edit: Lips. the white part on the lips appeared to be teeth.
  13. Masterminds and Brutes were my favorites. Didn't like Corruptors and Dominators honestly.

    Yet.
    But how do you use teleportation for a heroic act? Vigilantism and Rogue tendencies sure but Heroes I can't see with the ability.

    ...and before anyone mentions rescuing people in danger I'm assuming your only power is teleportation so you'd be in just as much danger.

    See that's why a non regular had to come in and suggest where to search
  17. You could try various search categories on Mangaupdates.com

    Yes, such a situation would likely be intolerable for a good chunk of the populace.

    You jaywalked. *BLAM*
    You littered. *BUDDABUDDABUDDA*
    You know what you did to that girl. Now you'll know what it feels like to BE one for the couple days before I let you die... *Pulls huge honkin' knife with a dull, rusty edge*

    But, you straight-out KILL enough lawbreakers, and sooner or later there simply isn't any serious crime. Simply through lack of people to commit them.
    This reminds me of .. Naruto >.< also Code Geass (which is a less commonly known anime) but the point is if you cause a big enough disaster and have proof you can cause more you instill fear into people to behave. If they stop behaving well you cause a disaster again.

    I was replying to this part. you can play the blue content with your MM and see if you care about it at all. Or roll a praetorian hero AT and play red content. You are not limited to Blue for blue anymore
  24. Slightly off topic but.. why not try making your MM go rogue and try the blue content with it?

    Is it confirmed?

    Neogumbercules casts raise dead on thread!

    Huh. I figured there'd be one from 2004.
