Yeah, there was a cross promotion deal with Aion and Guild Wars where you could get an emote in Guild Wars that displayed Aion wings on your character. I would be all for a GW2/CoH cross promotion, seeing as I'm a huge GW nerd and can't wait for GW2.

Just wanted to thank you for actually acknowledging that the Coldfire Trilogy is also scifi. I know it's not made superclear in plot summaries for the books, but her entire universe is based on science! Why don't people realize this, argh! I lost a fight on Wikipedia to get them classed as scifi because the head of the Novels project "didn't see it." :|

I was wondering about Mind/Thorns as well, as that's my main permadom. Would that be viable?

Congrats on pulling this off, Fiery. I bow to your uberness!

Throwing in another vote for this one. I try to run it on every villain I roll. It's just so well written and the background it adds is great. I think it's one of my favorites ingame. I also love Doc Buzzsaw's arc because she's so crazily fun, if rather different in emotional tone than "Oh, Wretched Man."

Yay, this is a great option! Thanks for this.
This makes me severely giddy. I'd written that badge off as one I could never get, so I'm really happy to hear that I'll be able to.

Sorry for the necro-ness, but I just found this thread because I lost the file for the Speed on Demand .exe file that I used to have. I've never dipped into CityBinder before but I quite am quite liking it. I downloaded the silent bind file version you posted in the post above this one, Spacebar, but it doesn't seem to have whatever fix you implemented to add the Demon Summoning pets to the Henchman dropdown in the quoted bit. The URL in the quoted post is dead.

Personally, I rather like that there are different effects in PvP vs. PvE because it means that power effects can be adjusted for one or the other without being detrimental for the other community. This is one of the things that I really enjoy about Guild Wars and the way they manage PvP. PvP metagame is ever-evolving and changing and powers often need to be adjusted for exploits or methods that are too overpowering. If you end up nerfing a power for PvP-ers because of the way it works in PvE, you're going to to make that community really upset and vice versa. When the difference was introduced, I thought it was a great step forward.

That's not to say I don't think the system is flawed. There's not really a clear explanation ingame at all about diminishing returns and their effect on PvP. There's no tutorial you go through for the PvP game like you do for the PvE game, and I think it should be considered given the drastic changes that i13 introduced. I think that the lack of clear explanation is the biggest problem here because people go into PvP zones expecting that their powers will work a certain way with no thorough explanation that things are practically completely different.

My Mind Dom's effectiveness has been nerfed to hell since the i13 changes, which was pretty disappointing for me. I think the fact that the only way you can make someone drop toggles now is through end drain rather than mez takes away some enjoyable tactics. It used to be that if I was able to successfully hold someone, the fact that they would have to take the time to wait for their toggles to recharge and be able to reactivate them would have a lot of impact on my tactics, especially for long recharging toggles like Granite. Now while I can hold everyone because of the protection/resistance changes, it feels less like a tactical success because their toggles are only suppressed. Telekinesis also used to be a favorite power of mine to use, which was also nerfed.

While I enjoy PvP in other games, I don't really enjoy CoX PvP much at all. The game wasn't originally created with PvP and it shows. The lack of objective-based PvP is my biggest complaint I think. Open zone PvP (especially stuff that mixes PvE and PvP, like people doing Shivan runs and acquiring nukes) just isn't that fun for me. Running around trying to find people to punch is less fun to me than doing stuff like Capture the Flag or Territory Control and other modes of play. While RV does have elements of Territory Control, I would enjoy it more if there was a separate zone or instance dedicated to it.

Now that the League system is going to be implemented for PvE stuff like the BAF and Lambda incarnate trials, why can't there be the same thing for people to queue up for CTF/TC/etc. runs?

Admittedly, that's what you get in the real world as well. When you drive down the highway, there's all sorts of different styles too. Honestly, I think I'd feel more dissonance if they all were in the same style.

When you max out the sliders on the female model, she can look pretty darn beefy. I think a muscled texture would definitely look fine on that. There are also many thinner women out there who are definitively muscled without being bodybuilders. Looking toned doesn't necessarily equate to looking like you're on the 'roids.

I don't know, on one hand, I understand that the art team and everyone wants to keep their visual standards high and maintain a consistent aesthetic in the game. On the other hand, it almost feels offensive to have someone made a blanket judgment that women in the game just can't look like that.

Just wanted to throw my hat in the ring as another person who supports the unisexing of customization. I am very dismayed that my otherwise very punk-y looking brute female, with mohawk and motorcycle vest and combat boots, cannot have tattoos or smoke a cigar or cigarette. I can't have femme-y men who wear skirts or like to glam it up like David Bowie or Dr. Frankenfurter.

I'm hoping is that there isn't some sort of secret unspoken reason to deny unisexing on the grounds of "THINK OF THE CHILDREN" in regards to having more androgynous looking or transvestite characters. That would just be utterly disappointing to me...

And yes, I do realize I can just go play another game or stop my subscription or whatever if I'm not happy with the current aesthetic options. But I love this game, most especially for the open communication between the devs and the playerbase. I'm just hoping that in communicating our desires for more unisex customization options, we can convince the dev/design team that, yes, it is something that enough players would want for it to be worth doing.

"The helmet's really good, super game, City of Heroes" (as in they think the game is super/great, they're not just restating that it's a superhero game) basically.

You win just for making a I Wanna Be the Guy reference.
