See I have a problem with the arguement that a bad computer that makes it difficult to play makes the badge poorly disigned. My wifes computer was so out of date that she could not play any task forces at all, the graphics involved with having more then 2 or 3 players on the team caused her system come to a standstill, it was completely unplayable. Is that the devs fault, is the teaming, graphics, or game engine poorly designed because she was unable to do them? No just means that my wife in all her glory was to hard headed when i said, "hey their adding things to the game and it's going to be hell on your system, let's upgrade." to believe me and told me no. She finally has the upgrades and has a ball.
The speed demon badge is frustrating as hell to get. No joke, no denieing it. I am a badge [censored] (441 on my peacebringer at last count), and I am hard headed enough to sit there till I am ready to throw the monitor through the window or stomp through the house yelling my frustrations and irritating myself further by back alley brawlers claim of a 16 second run. But it isn't impossible to attain. YOUR system may make it so, your connection may make it so, but those are user side issues and not game issues. I but made a suggestion on what powers to use to help, if the lag is to bad, try doing it at a time when the slopes are clearer, lower your settings, etc.

Yes it is rather frustrating but it is not impossible. Running sprint only I can get down to 37 second runs, with flight as a 50 got down to 33 seconds. The fastest runs were with sprint, speed boost, and inertia reduction thanks to my wife who stayed on the hill spamming it for everyone, got down to 23 seconds after several attempts on my 24 tank, my 50 peacbringer, and 8 brute. It can be done just takes practice once you have everything else to know where to take the turns, where to jump, etc. Keep trying, don't give up, and that feeling of accomplishment you get from attaining those badges will be gotten, since you will get a badge that some think is impossible.

Yea what sam said lol.... some really cool stuff can be added that is craftable and also in diffrent ways, like I saw where a guy put a blue floor added an arcane slow field defensive item on each side, and wow you got yourself a pretty good representation of water... just play around and have fun with it.

some base items like the wall plaques of weapons, the city of heroes comic covers, etc are veteran reward items that you have to have been around for a certain amount of time to be able to build

Here's our new control room with the Mystic Orrery, once I set the rest of the base back together, I will post pics and maybe a demorecord, hope you like

SPOILERS TURN BACK NOW




Ok in the book, which takes place after the war statesman and recluse are friends, old war buddies that grew up together and are in a gang that steals alot. They remembering a story told to them as kids, search out the well of the furies to heal statesmans lung problems, he had been infected with mustard gas while in the war. They located the well of the furies, after drinking it, they wanted to locate the source, the located pandoras box and were bathed in it's raze, amplifie the effects. Recluse went by by and joined arachnos, statesman became a playboy and had fun till he learned that someone had killed his brother and adopted father (recluses father), he went to paragon city to avenge them. Recluses sister, fell in love with statesman and joined in fighting side by side with him while fighting nemisis under the name of the maiden of justice.

I personally don't agree with some of what is being said here. I understand where the devs are coming from, they have ceated a game that is fair to everyone, and is stable, by others introducing code into the game ever as small as a spot as client side, you are modifying their creation. Now I don't agree with it completely... I belong to a group of players that all we do is mod a game, we tear apart the costumes, we tear apart maps, we locate missing content and reintroduce it, and believe me, the people that come to our websites to get it love it, they go nuts when they see the new stuff, they like the fact that the game can grow. Now the devs here are doing just that with there issues 1-5 updates. it's just that it takes so long, and customers are impatient. perhaps if the devs would allow the m,odding communities to create mods, costumes, etc... then submit them for security and stability reasons, then impliment them, perhaps that would be the happy medium for us all.
