So true.Quote:We've already met her. She has problems figuring out pants.
Boy, are you generous when it comes to time. I figure we'd be at war by the end of the DAY.Quote:And start World War III within a week.
Someone needs to do fan art of that...Quote:Besides, who else would? Scirocco is locked in his room listening to Disintegration on repeat, and the other two are idiots.
That's it - I am never going to be able to refer to Des as anything other than Captain Hotpants. Thank you for enhancing the game in ways I could never have imagined.Quote:My prediction for part 6: The funeral. Recluse cries. Ms. Liberty commits war crimes. Captain Hotpants is recruited into the Freedom Phalanx. Everyone is sad. Even if you're not sad, your dialogue says you are.
Part 7: Statesman is resurrected.

Well... damn.
I just hope that when we get to #7, if it's gonna get spoilered, the vid team in Seattle gives us an utterly fantastic trailer to spoiler it with. Not that I haven't liked the WWD art, but by all that's holy, make this ending nothing short of
EPIC.
Please.

I wonder what Ms. Liberty's mental state will be like by the end of this arc? And Desdemona will also be affected.
I've been waiting for her to go rogue for AGES... this may finally be it.

And so help me God, if once all is said and done, they handwave him back with "good thing Numina was there to save him this time"...

*looks at the picture, reads Zwill's post, then looks at the picture again*
If that's a reference to the FREEDOM PHALANX novel (and I really think it is), it should be "Grandpa, can you fly to heaven?" (From the conversation Jessica has with Marcus after Monica Cole's funeral.)
And I agree - this is totally spoilerish with the arc not even out yet. What the hell was Marketing thinking? (Though the picture is awesome.)

3. Positron. "No!" you say, "Not Posi! He has a TF. He's a dev." And he also has a history of stupidly destructive self-sacrifice, like locking himself in his own armor for a decade or so.
I see a big climax with (probably Psyche - works better with a girl) chained to an altar and about two seconds away from being eaten by Yog-Sathoth or something when Positron swoops in, pushes her out of the way, takes the killing blow and expires just after whispering "I have always loved you." (You see how the impact would be a bit different if he was rescuing Synapse.)
Quote:Originally Posted by Zombie Man
I think it would indeed be a big impact if Positron took the killing blow on behalf of Synapse and told him, "I have always loved you."Oh please... Posi and Synapse are the ultimate bromance of City of Heroes. THEY are more of a canon couple than NumiTron is any day of the week.Quote:Originally Posted by Ms_Teri
That would probably shake up the player base as much as the death.
Think of all the sorting through past missions for clues, the way people debate whether Sherlock and Watson were lovers or not . . .
What *IS* the in-house nickname? Did that ever get mentioned?Quote:Originally Posted by Golden Girl
According to Zwillinger, the in-house nickname for this storyline annoys Positron.
*****
And if they DO kill Positron, I will fly down to Mountain View, bully my way past the security guards and receptionists (even if they come from Monoc Securities), and beat the entire writing team within an inch of their lives with whatever chair, desk, lighting fixture, or Arachnos banner I can get my hands on.

I have totally been holding out for this ever since you run the Midnighter arc. Considering what you invent at the end, I have been asking since Issue 11 why we can't use that on the Honoree.

I checked also when I first ran it - nothing that I've been able to find. It may have just been arbitrarily chosen.

Quote:I've gotten it too - it seems that whaling on the ghost images counts as whaling on the actual HEROES (Malaise is still a hero, apparently)... so you can imagine that my hero was shocked when she got the badge.Originally Posted by Golden_Avariel
Do you think the devs intended my hero to earn the Bloody Hands badge by running the 4th SSA? Has anyone else encountered this?

I don't believe it. The world hasn't ended, hell doesn't have its hockey rink, and I haven't gotten a letter from Paragon, so you can't have reached 50 on one of your spreadsheet tourney characters.

My little dark/psi defender, Andrea Blake, got her absolute Crowning Moment of Awesome while doing Twilight Son's arc...
In my impatience, I'd forgotten that I'd set the difficulty higher for the team I'd led the previous night. But Blake's no pushover, and she loves a challenge, so I figured, "What the hell, how hard can this be?"
I get to the cutscene, and thanks to having Ninja Run on, Blake lands between Zoria and Cyrus Thompson, before Zoria can actually kill him. She summons her Dark Servant, and promptly goes toe to toe with Zoria.
It is a knockdown, dragout, grueling fight, she's going thru inspirations like mad, but Blake won't go down. She throws EVERYTHING but the kitchen sink at Zoria and finally, by the skin of her teeth, defeats him...
... and then turns around to see Cyrus Thompson alive and well, standing behind her.
I'd been spamming Twilight Grasp so often that I'd kept HIM healed as well as Blake.
(I have the screenshot plus UI to prove it, too.)
I was so proud of my little psychic.

There's also, notably, no normal suburban areas with houses. Everyone apparently lives in apartment buildings.

Question, Mr W:
The character I'm levelling in the Level-A-Thon is on Exalted, but I'd prefer the money/credit go to Justice (it's just I need a filming toon on Exalted). Is that viable?

Quote:At the Player Summit, I asked about Horus reappearing, and was told that he most likely will not be coming back as ownership of that particular character is somewhat murky. Intellectual property is something they kinda take seriously over there, and as he's a relatively minor character, the priority of 'getting' his IP is really low. Which is really too bad, coz I liked the guy.Originally Posted by Mattwo7
I noticed that war witch mentioned that she would soon have a successor, but did she ever actually get one?
I know apex showed up again recently but what about Horus?
Also on a related note, will we learn what became of the shining stars?

Quote:Yeah... I'd go with this.Originally Posted by Arbiter Warrant
Freitag - as your friend, let me warn you:
Most of the movies posted here are, well, very <individual> tastes. I would suggest these three as starters:
Back to the Future: Childish, but a work of near comic genius by the ensemble.
Princess Bride: Best film exposition of the classic story form ever. Funny and touching.
Big Trouble in Little China: A classic depiction of the ugly American anti-hero.
And given your tastes - never, ever watch Hellraiser. Ever.
Arbiter Warrant
And I agree about horror films... but HELLRAISER had an absolutely beautiful score.

Quote:Just because "ain't" is in the dictionary doesn't mean I accept that, either.Originally Posted by Zwillinger
Yes - an example is that upon completion of St. Paul's Cathedral, it was originally described as "awful" and "artificial" meaning, "full of awe" and "a creation of art". They've evolved drastically over time.Quote:Originally Posted by Golden Girl
Didn't the word awful used to mean awesome once? I'm sure I read somewhere that it used to mean something that filled people with awe.
