Quote:That's a really good idea. Cell phones replaced the phone but we simply lost the quiet and privacy of the booths.Originally Posted by Zombie Man
Actually, I wish that telephone booths of whatever design or vintage would make a return so that one can make a cell phone call in relative quiet (and consequently, shunt off loud cell phone talkers to their own private hell).
If only real life had a suggestions forum. -
Quote:To be honest neither England nor Scotland has any police boxes at all anymore, except as historical curiosities. This is occasionally alluded to in Doctor Who when younger , contemporary characters do not recognise the TARDIS as one. They were made obsolete by personal radios about forty years ago and have all but vanished. The same goes for the traditional red telephone boxes (as seen in Faultline). They have almost entirely disappeared over the last twenty years, made obsolete by mobile phones.Originally Posted by Equation
The image of the Blue Police Box is currently under Copyright of the BBC, even though I think the have an open license to the police.
If memory serves me correctly, and if anyone here can verify or prove wrong, that police boxes in SCOTLAND are red.
So as a way of keeping authenticity to the British Isles as well as a lovely homage to certain sci-fi shows, the long standard British Police Box model was used with the Scottish red.
I am unsure, do not quote me, this is just my own personal assumption on the matter.
NB. The above does not apply to the tourist-popular parts of London. They're probably full of police boxes and red telephone boxes

Quote:To be fair that is consistent with the new building and the few old buildings you can see in the last panel of the story in issue 6 (Top Cow).Originally Posted by Scythus
The contrast between the old buildings and that new one just looks terrible.
It's been bothering me that community center was missing ever since I realised that the statue was in the game. Ironic that it's taken so long since Synapse (the character) actually makes a comment about how quickly it's been built in the comic book.

Further to the above, if you replace the generic Heal IO with the Heal/Recharge from the Numina's set and use three enhancement boosters on the Numina's Heal enhancement then the Regeneration value is back into ED territory. If you boost the Heal enhancement five times then you're within 1% of where you were with the generic.

Quote:Since, somehow, nobody has beaten me to it, can I offer the following, alternative correction?Originally Posted by CinnderScot
OK, so I've complained before about the ever-increasing number of text errors, but this one actually has me stumped. This time I can't even figure out what they were trying to say.
Frost Shamaness: Scream for him! Every agony is sates!

Frost Shamaness: Scream for him! Every agony is States'! -
edit: Comment below applies to Casino Heist part - forgot to mention that.
If I can just step away from comic books for moment but stay very much within the realms of comic book style stories, the Summer Blockbuster is very similar to an old episode of Star Trek - The Next Generation, The Royale, where the crew discover that the only way to escape the alien built, fake casino that they find themselves in is to play out the roles assigned to them.
That aside, in world with AE, isn't this how the movies would be? -
Quote:Thanks for the clarification there. It was only 3 attempts each day so I never thought it was a big enough sample to say anything with certainty but I thought it was worth mentioning.Originally Posted by Kangstor
I got time gladiator first than next run it was Heist. A couple of heist than a few gladiator next and each time i was the first in zone there is no such BS like it is choosen depending on where you are heading it is totally random.
As for the second part, I think you're absolutely right. I seem to zone in first every time on my SSD equipped machine and Time Gladiator/Heist is already selected when I do. -
I got The Heist first up every time on Saturday and Time Gladiator first up every time on Sunday. I assumed the order was rotating daily.

Doh! I'm getting confused with the SG registration form.

I think it was 27b/6, in a tribute to the Terry Gilliam movie, Brazil.
Edit:
Although Gilliam himself was inspired by the address of the flat where George Orwell lived when he wrote 1984 in naming his "Form 27b/6". Take your pick of which one inspired the CoH designers. -
I want that with the ability to drag items from one character's vault and drop them in another's.

Quote:Interesting. Maybe Grouchybeast is right and we are more trusted with "naughty" words in Europe. I've never seen closed captioning that censored words that weren't censored when spoken, in fact I have a vague recollection of seeing the opposite at least once.Originally Posted by Father Xmas
Last night I was watching Rizzoli and Isles (hey I'm a sucker for a couple of pretty dames
) with close captioning on and the language that was allowed on the air that was censored in the close captioning was hilarious (several different B starting words were allowed to be spoken but not spelled out in CC). -
Quote:Ah, not quite the same thing then, I'm using a 3G connection.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
Part of my issue is I go out and about at work, which has wifi.
So I keep going from Wifi->Cell->Wifi and have an IP change each time (even if just between the same two).
We have a solution then (at least for in Session log outs). Everyone simply needs to access the forums using Opera 10 for Symbian over a UK mobile phone network. Problem solved!

Quote:Odd, my mobile is about the only thing I access the forums with that doesn't log me out.Originally Posted by Rajani Isa
There is also apparently some security issue solved by having a session invalidated if you have a change of IP address.
After all, NOBODY posts from a mobile web device.

Since misery loves company I'll share my similar moment from this weekend.
I managed to buy the Mission Teleporter Power from the Market, by mistake, when trying to buy the Team Teleporter, a mere five minutes after catching myself doing the same thing and avoiding it on another account. -
The login server is back and some of the servers are changing from "down" to "unknown" so it looks like things are coming back.
There's a 6Mb download. -
Quote:Just FYI, this section is for players answering questions for others players so you're not likely to get an official response to your question.Originally Posted by drubbin
I logged on this morning and get the message that the servers will go down in 5 minutes for maintenance, "Please see forums for more information." Well I've checked all over the forums and there is absolutly no information regarding this. Why have the message if you guys don't post anything about it?
Best guess is that they are fixing some of the issues from I23 while the US is in bed. -
Add them to your wish list and look at them every few days without buying them. I don't know if it will do any good but, so far as I can see, counting these things are the only tools that the Devs/Marketing have to determine potential sale items.

Quote:Ahhh memory impairment, the free gift at the bottom of every Vodka bottle.Originally Posted by Justaris
While this is of course quite correct, I do still see people who have done it from time to time. Often it seems to involve the baffling practice of playing while drunk/high.

Roderick is correct.
I've just confirmed in game that that the Think Tank can be used with capes. (I put the Think Tank head on an existing caped character.)
When I checked the Free Items Only box capes were hidden for this character even though they were available (unlocked through mission.) -
Quote:Me too, same game, same experience. Of course, that game opened up a lot of things once you were "done" that you couldn't do before, especially in the non-combat professions.Originally Posted by Electric-Knight
And, it's funny, because I often enjoy these games the most when I'm "done" with a character.
The same thing happened here that did in my first mmorpg, a long time ago... in a galaxy far far away (before the dark times...).
I got the abilities/powers/whatnot that I wanted and then I just logged on and... did whatever I felt like! I so very much enjoy having completed my characters' skills/powers and just doing what seems fun or what seems fitting or just exploring something.
Funny thing is that one day I just stopped logging on. There were at least two major game revamps that were the trigger for lots of people to finish with the game but I weathered those. There just came a point one day when suddenly the game didn't offer me anything anymore and I went from maintaining four accounts and contributing to a support web site to nothing overnight.
I guess that what I can draw from this is that we would all certainly stop playing once that game stopped offering us rewards but that rewards can take take a form beyond what the game offers mechanically. -
I wrote a long reply but it got eaten (twice) by the Forum Logout Bug - Arrgh!
Basically what it said was:
Physical Perfection from the Body Mastery Epic Pool to solve endurance problems.
http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Body_Mas...cal_Perfection
Quickness from your Super Reflexes coupled with the large number of attacks in Dual Blade should keep you attacking all the time.
You can afford to take more attacks with Super Reflexes because it' much easier to softcap positional defense with that set without Pool Powers.
For accuracy, you are just getting to the point where you start getting far more slots than powers. Invest a few in your attacks and drop an Accuracy enhancement on them. Beware though, you're always going to notice misses more on DB because they break your combos so it might seem worse than it actually is. -
Warning, the link above has sound.
I didn't have my headphones on and everyone just stared at me in the coffee shop.

I think you're confusing yourself with me DarkBlaster.
