    but I do see End Game as a good thing but when I complete it on a character .. its still NOT the end of the game for any of them.
    This isnt the end, its just the start of a new chapter

    Tornadoes don't suck! they blow! did I just miss the joke?

    I want people to be able to see a characters name and think its me right away. Big headed of me? Possibly. A name is the same as an outfit/style of play [etc], its a symbol of that player.

    Sure it'ld be cool if there was two noob busters on the same server, but wouldnt that confuse people too?

    *types /search*
    *finds a player named noob buster*
    *oh hey damz, fancy teaming up?*
    *sorry you got the wrong person*

    I dont know, i just like being recognised as being me by friends by my style

    OR it could be part of an arc/level progression in that the mission requires them to go to either RI or PC to finish the arc. Multiple choiced missions

    There's martial law to keep the peace and then there's fascist tyranny.

    Consider how many times the people of his world have nuked the planet. Perhaps he HAS to monitor their minds to make sure they dont destroy themselves?

    Or have we turned into "its all a cole plot!!" ?

    By sides of the law i mean he doesnt exactly stick to "this is the law, we must do things this way". He gets his objectives done by any means.

    Im just being awkward

    As far as strength comparisons, I think the biggest "weakness" with Statesman is that his no killing stance makes him hold back by default, essentially the Superman problem. If States singlehandedly knocked down the RWZ mothership, then he's plenty strong in his own right.

    That is indeed both a weakness and a strength though isnt it in regard to states.

    To me, Tyrants empire reminds me a lot of manticore and his struggles with which side of the law hes on. No matter what his agenda is now though, think we can all agree that originally, Tyrant was indeed one of the good guys saving the world. However where he was hidden too after the area got nuked remains to be seen.
    Seems that his attidude to combat changed drastically after that incident . . . . . .

    It would seem pretoria Hami had a thrist for world domination. It had to be dealt with.

    Really wish i could see a rampaging hami Revenge of the AE farms!

    AE baby1: Look theres farms outside in atlas now!
    AE baby2: Quick lets get them!
    *30 secs later*
    AE baby1: They can attack us?
    AE baby2: Must be a bug

    You bring up an interesting point. Whats stopped our statesman from stopping our hami? The coward!!!!
  10. Do you damz take GR to be your beloved partner for life?

    I fricking do baby yeah!

    That bio of his really changed my views on him, i dont think i can face him now on my heroes in perigine island without feeling guilty. This guy defeated hami and saved the world!

    From the GR tease video we got a few weeks [months?] back, the picture of them on there had that little piece of metal on too. From what i can gather its just purely a shoulder cosmetic piece since it is located on both sides of shoulders.

    Wouldnt get too excited.
  12. LOVE the costume pieces and those tunnels look great too!

    But wow, im not usually one to get over excited about new cossie pieces but im already thinking about what styles i could create with it if we get them.

    Question however: Was this jays work or the latest costume designer?

    Edit: WW, you may be the first one to ever be "noob buster protected". You have done well

    Shhhhh…. They also moved me next to Back Ally Butler, and he’s working on making sure the dark corners of the internet are still working, time for me to go to work.

In this episode, the scientist has taken the place of a female rodeo clown who is in love with a bull rider. The scientist's job is to make the bull rider fall in love with him since the bull rider would have had no interest in the rodeo clown herself.

    'But I don't know the first thing about being a clown!' he tells his holographic friend while putting on a pair of huge suspenders.

    'It'll be a piece of cake,' councils the hologram. 'We spent a year together on the Montana Rodeo circuit right after I was released from the POW camp and before you got your 12th doctorate. It'll all come right back.'

    'I don't remember that. Oh Boy!' says the scientist as he is pushed into the arena.

    'Don't worry! You're just like forum posters. Sure, they say hurtful things about not hating books and the radio. They're just confused. They need to spend more time with a good friend. A friend who knows them better than they do. A friend like the television. Don't you agree, forum posters? You should watch more television. And play red side.'

    *wonders if your really jay*

    hiiiiii btw

    But are you asking about bona fide bugs or just serious "issues"
    This is what im wondering too to be honest, do you mean issues that make things more difficult? Because people could see that as an added challenge [defeat all creatures in cave in the hollows mission as an example] or do you mean actual bugs like the clipping issue you stated?

    If it is purely bugs, then i cant really think of anything that stands out to me as omg this is annoying. Issues regarding difficulty on the other hand, i have plenty to say

    [could become an interesting thread btw]

    Nearly all of your questions have been asked already a load of time! Ask unquestioned questions!

So I end up Frankensteining a name or concept at the end and I can still call it my own. I look at other people's guides, advice and general help the same way I look at online encyclopaedias and dictionaries - resources to draw on. Provided people offer their help with no commitment in return, why not just draw on what you enjoy and draw from a lot of people?

    Reading back on my post i did come across as very negative which isnt me.

    I aint ever going to try and stop people making those kind of guides, because thats what makes a community great, people helping others. I just cant find a reason for myself to use that particular piece of information available. Then again when i create a character [that isnt a damz named alt], i tend to draw inspiration from my surroundings and other utilities really.

    For example my girlfriend [at the time] drank malibu a lot and im more of a magners type of person. One day playing the game i saw those two bottles and my mind being wierd just combined the two.

    Malibu + Magners = maliner

    To me that sounded like a very cool name to have, something without real meaning.

    Just looking around my room now i combine names of items and i've come up with a whole load.

    Chargilled chicken sandwhich + can of relentless = charless or sanlent
    Scratchcard + aftershave = scarter or cartave scar
    sky box + magazine = skyma

    Ok those are literally top of my head 2 second thinkings but i think i got my point across. I dont think i have EVER been short of names. Everytime i think of a name that i think would be cool, i build a character up from that.
    Now again off the top of my head, Skyma would be a teleporting/flying energy/ice blaster who specialises in stealth and ambush tactics.
    Would have an icey [light blue] cloud effect aura with a costume of a special operative with their logo on the side [use a body pattern].


    Edit: Reading this, i really want to create this character now!

    CoH and CoV, the previous two boxed set expansions, both had about a half dozen ATs each... shouldn't GR have the same thing? 5 or 6 new ATs?
    You start an unquestioned questions thread with a question that has been asked loads of times? Good start dude

    *locks*
    *loads*
    *fires*
    *busted*

    My question is this:

    Will we be seeing more city wide interactive events that are open to anyone on the server to join at any time? Small events like the fires in steel, giant monsters in Praetoria and resistance gatherings [like troll raves] as a small example.

    Personally i'ld be insulted if somebody pointed me in the direction of one of those guides but thats just me. Sure might be good for you lot, but all my characters are MY OWN CREATION. If i have to have any sort of help with any of them, they no longer feel like i made them, which is the main draw to me to making new characters. Making them my own.

    Oh look theres x-sunnydisaster!

    OR

    Quick we need to call Relent-less NOW!

    I like mine to be as realistic as if it was in an actual superhero show, so those kind of sites are not for me
