Quote:Reminds me of Mort (Terry Pratchett), where Death takes on an apprentice, Mort. Of course, Mort is alive, and while Death is away on vacation, Mort decides to stop reaping souls. This is a problem. AFTER ALL, IT'D BE A BLOODY STUPID WORLD IF PEOPLE GOT KILLED WITHOUT DYING, WOULDN'T IT?There is a pretty good book by Piers Anthony, On a Pale Horse, with the Grim Reaper a/k/a Death as the hero. At one point, he goes on strike, and all those people who have suffered life-ending injuries and illnesses continued to suffer.
(DEATH SPEAKS IN CAPITAL LETTERS)
Quote:The show doesn't focus on people that die or have died though, they mostly just kill the monsterized souls and fight other people. -
CoH Collector's Edition is rarely cheap. Unless you can find it in a bargain bin at BigLots!, it'll be above $50, more commonly around $80, and occasionally above $100.

My Thugs/Dark took out three overlapping Malta ambushes I didn't realize were coming while I was AFK for dinner. My only pet that died was Fluffy because his timer ran out.

Quote:That's not what the HO exploit is. The exploit is slotting for example a -ToHit HO in a +ToHit power. Since -ToHit is schedule A (33.33%) and +ToHit is schedule B (20%), this can drastically improve the performance of the power over what's intended.While this feature of Hami-Os (and set IOs) isn't exactly intended behavior, the devs have never really made an effort to remove it. In fact, when Mind Link was introduced for Widows not so long ago, Castle explicitly made it unslottable for recharge but accept recharge slotting from def/rech IO/HOs, and all-but-encouraged players to do so.
Slotting +Rech into a power which doesn't normally accept recharge isn't the problem, here. -
Philotic Knight (aka Westley) doesn't play many characters. I know he re-rolls his Philotic Knight character every time he reaches 50 (always an FF/Enery Defender, IIRC). I think he plays other characters, though, so he's not such an anomaly as GG.

Quote:I get to rescue Ms. Francine (whose ending in the Westin Phipps arcs is noted that she'll be tortured to death), Amanda Vimes and one other. It was because I'd managed to stave off my pure hatred of Phipps and the opportunity to smack him around (seriously, I was so incredibly tempted, it took me a while to decide) and actually made the heroic choice.Quote:I never knew the original Phipps arc was that bad - that's just disgusting.

Quote:Tarantulas are cyborgs, it's the Arachnobots that are completely robotic. Tarantulas require an integration process which many subjects do not survive, though the mortality rate isn't so dire in the case of Fortunatas that volunteer for the program (perhaps some combination of their power, their willingness to have the procedure performed, and the altered suit for Tarantula Mistresses helps). But it's certainly not so simple as lying inside the suit and using your limbs to operate the spider digits; Arachnos often recycles severely crippled soldiers into the Tarantula program to make them useful again.Also, it's likely that the Tarantulas are an extension of the technology, with the person "inside" lying prone, and using the legs (with his arms as the front two legs) to walk around. Of course, some are robots, but the Mistresses obviously aren't.
Biff! -
Quote:Yeah I guess I never thought about it but that does sound rather anti-climactic.
On the other hand since it seems almost certain that there will eventually be two-way travel between Primal Earth and Praetoria I'm thinking there's going to be a more formal portal between the two. Maybe the no-frills drop off in Talos is just a "placeholder" for the way people are going to be moving between the two worlds for "real" later on.Quote:I think it's entirely appropriate and in-genre for you to make your incursion into this dimension in a vacant alley or parking lot. The only way to make it better would be adding some lightning FX and the new costume-change power that makes a spherical pit in the pavement under you. -
I know I've seen a photo of someone standing outside the King's Row tram, with his game spanned across three screens. It's definitely possible, though without such a setup available to me, I couldn't begin to tell you how.

Quote:I did the same thing to the file, and uploaded the new version to the google sites page right after seeing your initial postI have a copy of the current QuickChat menu here. Just cut and paste it into the relevant file (see first post).
It's cleaned up with proper tabbing (at least the left side is, the right side columns may or may not line up depending how big one's tab stops are) and all the spaces removed. -
So... where's Smurphy's 6-slotted Hecatomb Brawl?

Quote:There are 15/30/60-day NCSoft Time Cards, and there is a 30-day CoH Game Card.As far as I know you can't get CoH Game/Time Cards anymore. You have to get an NCSoft Game Card.
The Game Card is markedly different from the Time Card (even the 30-day one). For one, the Game Card costs $5 extra. It can also be used to start a new account (where Time Cards may only add time to an existing account), and for the duration of the card, all of your characters have an exclusive flight pack. -

Quote:In fact, every set of 10 levels has their own level-up fireworks (with level 50 having yet another one). Ms. Liberty DemonstratesThere is. The level up, um, fireworks are uniquely ostentatious when you hit 50.

Quote:What are you talking about? Bile shows up in Tina's arc. (Okay, it's a version of Bile from Omicron Zeta 12-20, but it's still Bile.)Bile as a violent nutcase and even Upstart, who NEVER SHOWS ANYWHERE as somewhat of a sinister conspirator.
Quote:Too dark for the game? Hardly. Just look at the simple murder of a sympathetic character that Nemesis soldiers commit. That's dramatic. Or what I'm doing right now, which is trying to save an exec from an assassin, only to find her with her throat slashed very deep. Ouch! Now I want to find that guy and beat him senseless, and I didn't even know the lady. Hell, she was probably in the Syndicate. Or, again, the murder of Mike Swartzwald for no reason other than because he found out too much. -
Your trial time and paid time will combine. It may happen that your account remains flagged as a trial until the 14 days are up (at which point you'd change to your full account status), but you should have full priveleges immediately. If that's not the cse, you should contact support.
