  1. Haha! So that's where you disappeared to! Way to go Fab!!

    There was definitely no clue it was you!

    Hey, the in-game store still isn't working right? Imagine my surprise.
  3. Every Magi run I've ever been on, I have flown. And every Magi run I've ever been on, Cole has wiped the floor with me repeatedly--whether I have aggro'd him or not. I find it very difficult to believe that if the entire league flies, he somehow stops attacking. In any case, it's not his attacks that are the biggest problem (though they certainly hurt), it's overcoming his +StupidLevels of resistance.

    Also, I don't think you're using "nerf" correctly. If the badge is less powerful, wouldn't that mean it was easier to get?

    Mind you, I'd support that. Still don't have it after many, many repeated attempts.
  4. This is awesome. I'll have to throw some more on the fire.

    It kinda is. Yeah, if you mail stuff to yourself and don't pick it up in time, it's gone, man.

    That's a case-by-case basis. My GM said they were absolutely not getting my ATOs back for me.

    CoX & Cameo's

    That would be an homage. City of Heroes has homages, and they're not against the TOS/EULA, unless they aren't homages and are in fact, thefts of IP.

    I ran this last night, and I didn't get the running souvenier, just the end one. The arc certainly feels like find and replace...
  9. It took just over a year to get retro sci-fi out. Why would people assume it would take a few weeks?
  10. I think my favorite CoH multi-boxer would have to be Smurphy.

    CoX & Cameo's

    That's not a cameo. That's a lack of imagination and creativity. And also, thievery of IP.

    A cameo is when they put you in the game or the comic. Which used to happen all the time.
  12. Even if you're rendering in-game stuffs on the low-end with a kick-awesome computer, you're still using a kick-awesome computer to render in-game stuff.

    I appreciate the use of the term "putersaurus." I'm going to have to use that, thanks!
  13. Wow, way to go, Virtue. Wish I'd been on some of those successful attempts!

  15. Once, someone let me keep an SO as payment for being a mule between two characters of theirs. It was a FORTUNE, that I lived off of for months.

    An SO.

    ... at some point I realized that I hadn't seen a familiar name from doing that in months, but it's still hard to get rid of the instinct.
    It is.

    And I miss Kelenar and Polaron.
  17. My other favorite part is the random guy named Raynin who just showed up in the middle of the presentation and pretty much asked who Zwill and HB were, what they were doing, what game this was for, what was a new powerset...


    ...and then said, "But what about Bio Armor?"
  18. Highlight of the chat, which I unfortunately have muted at work:

  19. I'm pretty much solo all the time, these days, except for trial stuff.
  20. That's like saying I have an "aversion" to stamp collecting, or tennis. I just don't give a crap about it.
  21. Even if you pull a single critter outside the entire plaza and kill it with tiny punches of Cole's least powerful power while facing away from the center of the arena, the server momentarily craps up. I can stand there and /em boombox while everything else (animations, auras, effects) plays happily and naturally, and five to ten seconds later the hovering mob will drop to the ground.

    I can even dance with Cole's footstomp, just so long as I don't damage anything. I wonder if any of his other attacks don't require targets, and execute normally if not used against a mob?
  22. Everything in the mission works fine for me. Even on my craptastic old computer, I can use any powers I want any where on the map and I experience no lag whatsoever.

    It's immediately after I've clicked the button that, randomly, the game simply up and DCs with a LCtM. There is more going on here than just "lol graphics."

    We get them so fast these days that I regularly forget I can call in and catch myself automatically heading back to contact. Ah, habit...
    This is how it was^^^. You could complete entire story arcs on contacts, and never see the phone number pop. It was always a last second thing.

    They still limit, to an extent, the inspirations they supply based on your relationship.

    You're just making up stuff, now. Castle doesn't need to be made into a whipping boy for doing his job--part of which was laying the groundwork for the issues we have today.
