how about it being turned from a hazard zone back to a 'normal' city section? We seem to be seeing a lot of the revamps either making zones scarier or making zones worse, how bout one that makes it 'better', that is the zone gets cleaned up, albeit with some seedy under-element. -
Sincerest thanks to all Vets in every branch of service from those currently on active duty to those in The Reserves and those who have retired.
Taken as a whole you all constitute a true City of Heroes. -
I would have to go with "Assemble the Team".
Nothing mitigates self damage quite like providing the enemies a bunch of new things to kill instead of me. -
Welcome to Paragon. The City of Heroes where you and your friends can be CHAMPIONS ONLINE.

Something's bothered me about those two contacts ever since their initial introduction. Their names are obviously anagrams, probably of a phrase with "love" in it, but what's the rest of the phrase? Uh oh... The secret revealed.Quote:Mantes Lover
They haven't been married that long and Manticore is already straying on his new wife.
His new wife named Sister PSYCHE?
Gee? What if somehow she suspects his infidelity?
I smell doom on the wind. -
Quote:As a matter of fact I see that episode of Wonder Woman. Poor Yarnell. So sad...if only she could have used her powers for good instead of commanding her ants to grow huge and menace Joan Collins. Wait....wrong movie.
...and y'know who else had great hair? Lynda Carter. Say, did you ever see that episode of the old Wonder Woman show where Lorene Yarnell played Formicida, the queen of the ants? Of course, she was the mime partner of Robert Shields back in those days...
You know...now that you mention it Lynda Carter DID have hair.
Funny for some reason I never noticed her hair. -

She can haunt me anytime. Rawr.
Yes but she won't just float overhead going "WoooooOooo".
She'll make a more annoying sound like "AAAUUGGHHHH!!!!"
And no flowing white sheets. She'll wear something more form fitting and upsetting that will make other ghosts in game like Numina say "Wow, we've never seen that before!" -
Oh wow...and I thought I was good at these kind of posts.
Clearly my self perceived skill was only imagined.
Liquid's post puts me to shame. Seriously...I'm wearing the ribbons and everything.
In line with the traditions of...well...somebody... I guess the only thing left for me is to do the honorable thing and fall on my keyboard.
Umm...would it be ok though if I fell more kind of to the side of my keyboard? It's just that it's only a few weeks old.
Just asking. -
My first character from May of 2004 was/is a katana/regen scrapper. He was my "guy" right out of the gate. Although I made a few alts here and there and I played him almost exclusively until he reached level 50.
It's a little disturbing now to think about how my devotion to that one character borders on almost a kind of "man crush".
He came alive for me pretty much right from the start.
I remember spending what seemed like forever in the costume creator trying to get the costume just right. This was the 2004 costume creator mind you...nowhere near as robust as the one we have today.
If I started playing the game today I would probably never even make it to Outbreak. I would look at the sheer number of design choices and probably just short circuit.
The only reason I'm able to do it today is since I have been here as long as I have and am relatively familiar with what we have available to us, I am able to kind of picture an idea of what I want before I even start.
Otherwise I'm afraid I'd have to be put in one of those places where you sit in a big room in your bathrobe with lots of other people in their bathrobes and are fed pudding while you watch "Wheel of Fortune".
Of course...I also remember after spending all that time on the costume in the character creator that I created the perfect costume.
It was without a doubt the pinnacle of costume design perfection.
I almost pitied everyone else who would have to play the game with costumes so obviously inferior to mine.
I knew as I stepped into the game world that I was destined to be an instant celebrity due to my design acumen.
I was confident that within hours at most, all women would want me and all men would want to be me.
Then a strange thing happened. About the time I reached level 7 or so I looked at my costume and realized it was stupid and I hated it.
Since there was no ICON at the time I was forced to muddle through as best I could on the character I loved so much since I had after all reached level 7 which meant deleting him and re-rolling would have been sheer lunacy. -
Can't we just leave poor Sally alone?
All she wants to do is dive around....Sally.
Dive Sally.....Dive! -

Great post. -

I'm sure that when they have information that they're positive isn't going to change they'll start releasing things for us, but it's probably a bit early still in the development process for them to be positive of more than they've already given us. There's a reason they tend not to give us solid info until well into the betas. At this point, they're screwed if they do and screwed if they don't. If they do give us info and it changes during beta, there will be outcry, and possibly disappointment. If they don't give us info, people cry that they're losing interest because they don't want to wait a little longer. Personally, I'd rather that second one, and it seems reasonable to think that the devs (and marketing) may think the same. Or there may be other reasons, but that seems like a plausible one to me *shrugs*
Clearly the Devs are holding back information regarding Going Rogue because they hate us. Even thought they promised us numerous times that they would release info in the early part of the year, which any sane person knows means January 1st, they still haven't told us anything. Typical.
Like usual they've lied to us again. They get our hopes up and get us to believe them only to crush our hopes and then sit back in their upholstered lounge chairs, wearing their smoking jackets, sipping their martinis and giggling to themselves while lighting their cigars with our monthly subscription money. It's true if you pay with a credit card the burned plastic smells kind of funny but still..that's what they're doing.
Refusing to do exactly what I want on my timetable only proves that the Devs want this game to fail. They've always wanted it to fail.
They've just been putting in the bare minimum effort over the past 5 years to milk more money out of us dupes.
They keep telling us they will add things to the game and make improvements but they never do. It's just all about the money. Just like always.
This whole attitude of businesses only trying to make money without listening to the customer has gotten way too common. I mean every time I go to Mc Donald's I try to order General Tso's Chicken and they never have it. NEVER. No matter how many times I keep going back they refuse to change and only have cheeseburgers. And then get this, they have the nerve to expect me to pay for something I didn't even want.
Since customers inexplicably continue allow businesses to get away with this shameful practice sadly I don't think it's ever going to change and we're just going to have to get used to it.
We'll just have to sit here and hope that eventually they decide to tell us something.
Sure they'll make it seem like they've been working hard and they're only telling us something now because it's the first time they've had anything "substantial and concrete" to tell us.
Ha ha...right. Like we're that stupid. Nice try. You're not fooling us. At least man up and admit you hate us and you want the game to fail. It's obvious anyway. -
No...no...no!
You said something NICE about the Devs in an open message board on the internet where everyone can see it! That's one of the ancient rules that was set forth back in 700 BPOA ( Before Pants or Anything ).
Those rules are there for a very good reason. Now the universe is probably going to implode or at the very least something will happen that requires Dr. WHO's attention.
Nice going. I hope you're happy. -

Quote:We will all refrain from referencing this movie or it's two sequels ever again. It's kind of like looking in the mirror and saying "Bloody Mary" three times, or even Candyman. It can only end badly and then there's wailing and gnashing of teeth. Not to mention bad sequels.
Like Tuskens at a pod-race?
In the future if this movie or it's two sequels must be referenced for any reason...and I can't think what it could be unless it's to use them in course cirriculum of the "Don't Let This Happen To Your Film Series" class....they will be referred to as "The Scottish Play".
Ok..now that's out of the way this thread should be safe to continue in it's previous direction. -
Quote:h1n1? This smacks of public misinformation to try and avoid a mass panic about an outbreak of the Vahzilok Wasting Disease to me.
From his twitter log, he sick with h1n1. Here to getting well soon Positron!
A delay of Issue 16 due to Vahzilok Wasting Disease should provide more time to generate "buzz" about all the new features.
Anyway the new issue should be here before we know it. Time "flies" when you're having fun.
To Posi and everyone who's been laid low, here's wishing all of you a speedy recovery and in the meantime many hours looking as pathetic as possible to garner sympathy from your friends and loved ones. -
I hear a lot of Magic Origin heroes are starting to seek Azuria's counsel to be set on the right path now that her book The Lost Teachings of Azuria has finally been published.
I've heard rumors that another 2 volumes are supposedly forthcoming. -
Quote:That's exactly what I tried to explain to her when the same thing happened to me. I tried to tell her that we can't help it. We're guys. We have a lot of hormones in our bodies.
I always thought Sister Psyche was a bit of a *ahem* in the comic where she goes off on some kid after reading his mind and learning that he's wondering about her underwear. Poor kid, coming in puberty and trying to make sense of it all and then some beautiful woman in a skintight costume starts playing Thought Police with him.
You know her heels aren't just fashionable they're also functional. I still have bruises on my forehead.
And if that isn't bad enough she does the same thing every time I go by there. Can I help it if Independence Port is such a big zone that I always get tired and have to stop in that same spot just where she happens to be standing?
It's not my fault that I always run out of endurance at the hospital. I think the developers need to look at that. And I am not "ogling" her I just happen to be staring in her general direction while I am regaining endurance.
I felt a little bad about things and didn't want there to be any misunderstandings so the last time I was Brickstown I stopped by to see Manticore. After I rested for awhile and stared in the general direction of Swan while my endurance came back I went to Manticore and told him what was going on.
It was really kind of weird. He just shook my hand and said "Welcome to my world kid". As he was wishing me good luck and telling me to keep safe I could have sworn I saw a few heel shaped bruises on his jaw. -
I wish I could get a job writing job postings like this. Wait..a job...writing job postings.
Oh wow. I had an existential thought.
Well...I guess this will be my last post on the forum as I now have to grow a goatee, buy a beret, join the Communist Party and quit my job to hang around in a coffee house listening to that poetry that doesn't rhyme.
