  1. First, the big red ! appears.
    Second, you click on it.
    Third, you read the text: "Mesopotamian music, without any rules beyond language features and syntax, mimicked lamp making, just as palaces beyond the taste of ownership, in contrast to hundreds of official standards carefully developed from flood control, were involved in programming the first musical genres."
    Fourth, you Go all Rogue and stuff.

    No tanks! /e Wilhelm Scream

    How about a GC/TA controller and Electric/Fire blaster combo, with the blaster focusing on the area attacks.
  3. Wait - is it over already or is today the last day?

    And just now went into a mission, fought off five or six enemies, and then...

    High Explosives HITS you! Explosive Trap power had a 82.50% chance to hit and rolled a 15.10.
    You take 192.27 points of Lethal damage from a Explosive Trap.
    You take 195.81 points of Fire damage from a Explosive Trap.

    Good night.
  5. My wp/km tanker has made it (solo and team) to level 12 without being defeated.

    My km/wp scrapper (solo) was well acquainted with the Agony of Defeat by level 5.

    My archery/TA corrupter (solo) made it to level 6 before the first defeat, and from there to level 14 it's been a Festival of Defeats. In the TO levels she didn't have enough damage output, damage mitigation, or endurance to deal with most of what was thrown at her. DOs helped with damage output, but even with Endurance Reductions slotted... ugh.

    With enough of the right inspirations on hand, she's as golden as, well, GG. Without them, though, it's a visit to Flatland.

    (Which, incidentally, is an old QQ of mine: is this a City of Heroes/Villains... or a City of Inspirations? Then again, history teaches us that using a Break Free at just the right moment *can* make all the difference in the world.)
  6. After going through it 1.5 times I gotta say I agree.
  7. 5. The new mail system.
    4. Various ways to minimize travel time.
    3. Power Customization.
    2. Power Proliferation.
    1. Super Sidekicking.

    The forthcoming ability to switch sides is going to be a major Woo Hoo!
  8. Flarstux

    NEW Power Sets!

    Dual Shields (double the fun).
    Solid Gold Dancer Summoning (massive increase in subscriptions).
    Imaginary Blast (requires no 'effects', just a few very convincing animations).

    But but but the Mission Architect was supposed to put an END to this 'lack of content' business, as we are now able to provide all our content needs ourselves! What happened???

    No! It simply can't be as simple as that! It must mean something MOAR! Something NEFARIOUS! Something...

    LIKE THIS!

    Ah, but can you do it while balancing on one hand with your feet pinned to your ears, and singing 'Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen'? Now THAT would be impressive.

    Me, too! THIS. And /signed.

    I was doing this just the other day, just idly goofing around to see what would pop up, and BLAMMO: great look for an earth/ice tanker from outer space! Well, almost, but with this instead of that, and switch this to that, and change this color to that, and... hmm, no... not a tanker... an ice/earth dom! From outer space! With this really cool and PERFECT name that's not already taken. Woo hoo!

    Maybe nothing 'new', but there's still plenty to crow about. All the stuff that's ancient and decrepit (some might even say 'haired over') to a lot of us is still new to somebody out there.

    I put it to you, Marketing Team, what would P.T. Barnum do?

    Perhaps this will suffice: Clickies
  16. The old Faultline WAS a zone monster... if you couldn't fly! I do wish we could revisit it via Ouroboros, though.

    Ah, but they have already nerfed the accuracy of anyone playing a /regen! It's true! I know this cuz both my /regen scrappers miss way too much compared to everyone else except my poor electric/electric scrapper who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn (from the inside). Sometimes I feel like I should file a missing person report on that electric/electric cuz he's been missing since Outbreak...

    Uh... oh, yeah. The super secret stealth nerf to /regen - no matter what primary you choose, at a random point between levels 20 and 30 it suddenly becomes AIR MELEE:

    1. Whiff - a straightforward single target miss.
    2. WHIFF MOAR - a slightly louder single target miss.
    3. Oscillating Fan - miss several targets in a narrow cone.
    4. What's that Smell? - single target self-disorient.
    5. Soothing Breeze - boosts the lassitude of self and team mates with a series of rapid-fire misses.
    6. Ceiling Fan - PBAoE, leap up and miss your foe from above!
    7. Pageant Wave - here she/he is! MISS/MISSter Paragon City!
    8. Birthday Wish - wide cone, very effective vs candles.
    9. Dust Away - AoE, thoroughly removes dust and dirt from nearby targets.

    Yeah.

  20. * Costume Update: At long last Kheldian sashes (such as the one worn by Moonfire) will be available for Heroes! To unlock the Kheldian sash for your Hero, simply defeat 5,070,103.5 Contaminated in Recluse's Victory. The spawn rate for Contaminated in Recluse's Victory has been adjusted to one per day (pending sufficient data-mining to determine if this is too many).

    * Zone Update: Villains in Recluse's Victory will earn .25 merits for each Contaminated defeated.

    * PVP Update/New Zone: Heroes and Villains may now test their mettle against each other in new and exciting ways in the new Shady Acres End Game Zone! Games include Checkers, Old Maid, Go Fish, and (for a cost of only 25 merits per minute) Virtual Pong!

    * Villain Hate-age Update: Red-bordered Villain zone loading screens have proven to be too exciting for some Villain players, causing players to create more Villains than anticipated. Thus, all Villain zone loading screens will henceforth be bordered with a more soothing shade of dusty rose.

    There's no 'points buy' system such as the one you describe in Champions Online. You never have to choose between gaining a new power or upgrading an old one. CO has a set level progression: at certain levels, you gain access to new powers; at other levels, you gain advantage points, or talent points, or another build slot. See here for more detail:

    Level Progression

    Maybe you meant the PnP game?

    Out of curiosity, what if several Customer Support people were actually behind this? How would anyone ever know what they were up to and how long could they keep doing it before getting caught?

    When he came in for his next lesson, I asked if he'd looked up 'extrapolate'. He said he had. "And what does it mean?" I asked.

    "To destroy utterly."



    Alas! It did not occur to me, that day so long ago, to show him how to play 'My Generation'. That would have been cool.

It's just common sense.
