Cyberforce

Nice Resource. Added mine. May add email when things get closer to the end.

When you pull the triggers on your dual pistols a little flag comes out that says "Bang!"

You fall off a building and actually die.

The Hobbits won't even cook you anything (oops, sorry, that's for the How-you-know-your-alt-is-weak thread in LOTRO).

Your first melee power is Tickle.

Your force bubble is made of soap.

After you finish designing your costume and click "Enter Atlas Park" the game logs you out.

Serge slaps your face in disgust and it does 65 points of damage.

Your travel power is Skateboard.

Your energy shield runs on AAA batteries.

Your titan weapon is a giant spatula.

Every time someone reads your fortune a band of angry gypsies runs up and kicks your ***.

Your boombox plays only Air Supply.

Mastermind: Pimp -- summons up to three hos and two hootchie mamas whose hair-pulling attacks and shoe throwing help you make that busy corner of King's Row all your own. Includes an SG headquarters decked out with red shag carpeting, lava lamps, and Barry White records.

Public Defense -- to get you out of jail when your plan to "save the city" causes pain, suffering, and significant property damage

Sarcasm -- to mock and belittle your enemies into desperately defending themselves. Significant chance of backfire into self loathing.

Mastermind: Human Resources Manager -- calls a variety of temps to assist you: File Clerks, Project Assistants, and Casual Labor. Also summons two fearsome servants who can reduce enemy personnel at an alarming rate: the Efficiency Expert and the Administrative Consultant.

I'm glad there is some small support for this from veterans. With all the great additions they've made to the game over the years, there's got to be a more efficient way to combine ENH.

For the love of God, please get rid of the tedious combining animation of the Enhancement screen. We all get it: there is a 5% per level difference chance that an Enhancement will fail to combine.

Do I really have to click-drag-click-drag-click-exit, wash, rinse, repeat each time I combine Enh?

I'm a 5-year player. I've combined and upgraded thousands of Enh over the years and I'm really getting tired of having to do this song and dance each time I upgrade. Doing a complete upgrade of a toon can take ten minutes to buy and slot all the Enh I need -- and it ain't a fun ten minutes, let me tell you.

It would be easier to just go to the Manage screen, click and drag one Enh into the slot I want, and have the game tell me SUCCESS! or FAILURE! immediately. Fewer clicks, less pointless animation, happier veterans. Good, no? And the newbs would never know the differrence.

Let's not panic. It could be something minor, like one of the Devs tripping over a power cable or maybe a mouse has chewed through some insulation. I'm sure it's just a small glitch.

Maybe Freedeom is so awesomely coded the servers are too excited to contain its awesomeness...

Yeah....

Well, I can't believe no one has mentioned the absolute go-to power for any claws scrapper beginning a bloody assault upon the emeny: Focus.

I love Focus too much. It appears as an almost psychic blade rage and culminates in a satisfying knockback, rendering said enemy helpless to defend itself against the inevitable slashings and ripping to follow. Focus, combined with well-timed Air Superiority attacks, can render almost any villain helpless to defend itself.

Screw whup-***. Next time you're taking on a boss, open up a big can of Focus.

Subjective question, because I think all my toons have cool names, but the one that seems to get the most chuckles from other players is Suburban Samurai, a middle aged homeowner who has had enough of those damn gangsters tearing up his lawn.

Some others of mine include:
Atomic Volcano
Spybreaker
Junkheap
All-American Boy

I have only one toon that begs for pronunciation help: Ka'Althu, which means "forbidden one" in his own tongue. It's pronounced "KAAL-thu." He must call himself Ka'Althu because he is forbidden to use his own name; punishment for committing acts of selfishness. He must refer to himself only as "the Ka'Althu" and must redeem himself with acts of charity and sacrifice until he is called home and returns to his own planet.

I have a concept toon called Creature Man, a scientist who can morph into one of four creatures. Each creature will have it's own travel power. Right now his Dire Wolf form has SS and his Dragon Lizard form has Flight. I haven't decided what the other forms will be yet.

I have 55 toons and he's the only one with more than one travel power.

I deleted a sword scrapper named Arabian Knight because the sword didn't really go with his theme, a bedouin-type mystic swordsman. Right afterward, dual blades came out with all those cool Egyptian weapons. Alas, it was too late to re-roll him; someone had snapped up the name.

Absolutely:

Defense Mechanism
Atomic Volcano
Suburban Samurai

among others...

I'm embarrassed I didn't know...

...about the Vanguard codpiece.

...that the Kraken wants to impress Jurassik so badly he sometimes uses a carhammer, too. The problem? It's a Prius.

...that some of the Auto Turrets in Striga can be disabled with a "Fonzi punch."

...that the Clockwork King has seen Transformers 65 times.

...that if you type "/e teriyakibowl" you will teleport to Mr. Yin's Market.

...that the Council throws a Sadie Hawkins dance every year.

...that Back Alley Brawler is lactos intolerant.

...there's an exploration badge taped to the inside of Valkyrie's thigh. It's called Make Love To Me 'Til I'm Thor.

I love the idea of a showdown. Has all the dramatic and action elements I love about super heroes.

You could use the Infected map from the tutorial. It would be perfect; fight minions to the corner, turn the corner, fight to the bosses at the end. Plenty of room for hostages along the way. Simple. Fun. And easily dressed up for different villain or villain groups.

Look, I don't know from one martial art to the next. I know a liitle about some of them and I don't know much about their philosophies and history. All I know is: the animations for this powerset could use a re-tool.

As much as I enjoy watching a good spinning back kick, I'd like to see a couple of good cover-ups or blocks when I dodge an attack. I'd also like to see more "martial-arty" type punches. The punch options available in the powers menu are cool, but seem to me to be more of a Super Strength choice.

And not for nothing, but the spinning back kick does look a teensy bit like a ballet move. Really. If you squint. I'm just saying.

How about if the toon keeps one foot on the ground like they're supposed to and wheels around on that axis?

I support any idea that has me defending the city from large groups of bad guys. I love the idea of invasions because heroes can band together to repel them, and because a 200-person battle in-game just looks great. And, given the 5th Column's world view, invasion is not only likely, it is inevitable.

/signed.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: chest emblems available on capes.

There. I've said it.

Not to bury a new suggestion is this thread, but can we please get a new "folding wings" animation? Something that, when we land, shows the wings fold up and press flat (more or less) against our backs? Running around with two wings sticking out like they do now doesn't look realistic. It looks wierd to me. If they could get them to lay flat, they'd look more like real wings and also cover our backs like a cape.

Just turned 44. My two sons play. Married. Law enforcement professional. Home. Mortgage. 79,000 miles on the Taurus. Coach of my kids' sports teams.

Original gangster of video games (Asteroids, 1979, baby!)

Come to think of it, CoX is about the most exciting thing I do, next to investigating crime. Maybe that's why I love superheroes so much...

Collected comics since 1981.

I've seen my share of terrible names in the 3+ years I've been playing, but what always makes me grind my teeth is what I call the "obvious" names -- names that simply say what the character does. For example:

Fire Blast-man
Blazing Tank
Mind Prober
Two-Sword Slicer
or any variety of X Arrow, or X Scrapper, or X Tank names.

C'mon, folks, can it be that hard?

Q: How many Contacts does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Seven. One to send you to a warehouse in Independence Port to fight through a horde of Sky Raiders and find the broken bulb, one to send you to King's Row to fight through a horde of Clockwork to get the replacement filament, one to send you to talk to another one in Talos Island, who sends you to talk to Azuria for some f***ing reason, one to make you defeat 40 Rikti because he thinks they're about to raid a Founder's Falls glass factory, and one to send you all the way back to the original warehouse in Independence Port to fight through another horde of Council just to screw the f***ing thing in.

One other thing, and this may already have been suggested, but I'd like the Base Teleporter vet power to act like the Ouro portal and open up a gateway to my base so my teammates can use it. Sure would make traveling from mish to mish a lot easier for those who don't have the power yet.

Two of the headlines on Yahoo.com's front page right now are:

White House calls on campaign architect after tough week

and

Council approves uniform pricing option


I think it's time to get some sleep.
