  1. ...Well would you look at that. I didn't even notice that male characters were eligible (or at least not declared ineligible).
  2. Is it me, or are the suggestions of "get a second computer or a computer that can run two CoH clients at once" and "upgrade to a bigger monitor" sounding a little unreasonable?

    the idea though isnt bad, but the problem more so lies in extremely weak NPCs with suicidal tendacies
    Even in those cases it'd be better than nothing, if only to target the NPCs more easily.
  4. Want this so badly. We know it's possible, too, because Desdemona has one on the Underground trial. Please apply to all escorts that cause mission failure on death!

    Okay, that last one is downright scandalous, but he - like many of the Menders who are not Silos - isn't an anagram, but a reference to an outside character.
  7. Dude. Betty Beatdown is a FANTASTIC name.

    Yeah, that kind of works, if you have a nice big monitor.

    The BP noticably don't. That style of loincloth? The big, feather boa collar things? Nope, none of that. They look like something thrown together randomly and with the BP chest detail slapped in. Also, where the heck did the addiction to the bio-lum pieces come from? Seriously.
    Tsoo would have been a better example. I only meant that the new BP didn't obliterate the old BP and that is a good thing.

    Oops, I got options two and one mixed up.

  12. God yes please. I want this so badly. It will probably never happen, but I want to take head-to-toe shots of my sword/shield scrapper with her in some other pose besides the "generic combat ready" stance you can get in the tailor.

    I always look for a good badge title for my character, whether I plan on lots of IC interaction or not - they all have concepts behind them.

    My human/rularuu hybrid escaped product of mad science is "Misbegotten."

    My Midnight Squad occultist who tricks people out of their lifespans to maintain his own immortality is "Time Saver." I have two versions of him, and the second has "Old Fashioned" - he's pretty much stuck in the 1940s, personality-wise.

    My time-displaced, partially-steampunk particle physicist is "Scientist." She makes a pretty big deal of that fact.


    And I only wish that Mender Lathrop, heroic wielder of a hefty 1.21 jigowatts, could be "Doc."
  14. Good idea! You should post it here.

    YES PLEASE.

    Say cheese!

    Bored in English class means I break out the pens and practice inking old drawings I did for fun!



    That's Oougel the human/rularuu hybrid Fortunata, her fiancee Mister Muppy the brain-damaged Bane Spider gone hero, and their best friend Diego Errazuriz, who was part of the statistical average until Nazis stole his head.

    May or may not decide to color it.

This is what I'm suggesting, not really a wholesale revamp of the original group like the CoT but rather additional mobs encountered in the endgame.
    That depends on your definition of "catastrophe." I liked the old designs MUCH better - they were a little low-res, perhaps, but that doesn't mean "scrap it and rebuild from the ground up" is the way to update them, rather than "new coat of paint" but that's a different thread entirely - and the Banished Pantheon's "revamp" left all their old designs intact, so it doesn't quite count.

    What you're proposing, though, sounds like something more in the Banished Pantheon direction, and it sounds amazing.
  19. Definitely agreeing with option two. I'm not a new free member, but if I were, hearing that you can switch sides again starting at level 20 and not being told it's a paid service would feel like a slap in the face and might even put me off the game.
  20. Gosh, I don't actually know! I'm going to guess somewhere in the neighborhood of $250, for game time, the Street Justice and Beam Rifle sets, and various costume parts including all of the Super Boosters back when they were Super Boosters.

    I agree fully. This pisses me off to no end and reeks of prima donna. Seriously, how many illegitimate daughters does Ghost Widow HAVE, anyway?
