    Not only that, it'll only work for Toggles. You can't activate 2 clickies with a Keybind.

    Since the 8th anniversary of the game is coming up next month I would guess we could be seeing it for that.
    Given that Dink is still heavily modifying these, including still adding textures etc, I would say they're quite a way off.

    I liked your old sig, but I like this one a lot too. Although, sometimes the reality of it seems like whatever you do, be ready to accept that someone's not going to like it or how you did it, haha... I have been known to be a bit jaded though.

    Nice to see ya 'round, WW!
    Sodapop was the middle brother, so possibly two-bit. Which was Emelio Esteve I think.

    You might have been, but my character from Chryon can't breath earth's atmosphere.

    Where is the greater risk up upping that difficulty? That'll you may die more and incur a tiny bit of debt?

    I have no problem with character performance penalties, it's too easy to fail a mission and move on in this game. (Just look at the sisters in LGTF, there is no benefit/penalty to this mission so people fail it to move faster.) Although 20 hours is too long.

    So religious or conservative people take up 2 parking spots and let their children go on stupid reality TV shows and act like spoilt brats? Cos thats who I saw the trailer taking a dig at.

    I've played 2 other games where these sort of options were available... and was bitterly disappointed. I had a choice of maybe 15 facial options in each category and could ONLY modify the face to any significant level. Give me the options of COH any day.

    I use it to completely detoggle all my powers occasionally. Have it bound to a key button. Works great.

    What? Why are you still complaining? You never specified they had to be HUMAN female henchmen.
    My protector bots are girls...

    One thing I forgot to mention is that whoever is team leader gets progress towards the 'mentor' badge, even though, as stated we are the same level. Or is that for just leading a team? Like I said, been a while :P

    Thanks,

    That's now part of leading a team.

    You don't notice the giant rocket launcher on the back of the Assault Bot?

    Stereotyping based on race is racism.

    I don't agree that good story telling requires an entirely consistent world. Heck, Tolkein even changed Goblins into Orcs between the Hobbit and the LOTRO.

    Terry Pratchett is an advocate of the opposite view to yours. I can't remember where it was, possibly the original Map of the Discworld, but in one of the forwards he said that he found creating a map of a world before writing to be restrictive. The only reason one was made was he realised that if it takes a day to get to a place in one book it shouldn't take a week in another.

    He also goes on to say that there are no inconsistencies, there are only alternate realities.

    1) The Hollows and the radio missions have become neglected as characters level past them after a few runs through the sewer trials. I have managed to hit level 16 in a matter of a couple of hours with about half a dozen runs through the trial. On the surface, this is great, but there was a lot of good content in the lower levels. Maybe we need to find a use for all those initial, origin-based contacts. As it now stands, origin is meaningless, beyond role-playing "color."
    No one is forcing you to do the sewer trial, if you want to play hollows, play hollows.

  21. Fighting - None of this powers come with any meaningful particle effects. Nothing to change. I suppose they could stick a different animation into Punch/Kick, but there's no point. - Some people may want to be able to change the FX to match their powersets, so it could have an additional add FX option.
    Teleport - Nothing here could feasibly be improved with changing. - Alternate Animations would be desired here, especially Tech Versions.
    Flight - They already have different flight poses...what else COULD there be? Different animation for Air Superiority? - The flight poses are clunky to use, having them as genuine alternate animations would be preferable.
  22. Aye, I did on Chrome from your link.

    Everyone has addressed everything else but I can probably help you on this.

    The default behaviour is for both mouse buttons to do run for 3-4 seconds and then go into Autorun. I think you are saying you want it to trigger autorun immediatly in which case you want to bind this key:

    /bind mousechord "autorun"

    I think it's Autorun, but I'm not at home to check. You don't seem to be able to add mousechord in the options so need to bind it.

    I don't have a problem with the suggestion, but I'm not going to hold my breath on seeing it.
    Out of curiosity, how closely does the comic follow the myths in that regard? Not being either a Thor comic or myth follower.
