Fleeting Whisper

Right, BAB was essentially talking about gambling for better rewards; and gambling's no fun if there's no chance for loss. (Or, rather, if there's no chance for loss, it isn't really gambling.)

I think the best assumption to take with the in-game storylines is that you the player are the main character. There's other supers around you, but they're just incidental. On SuperMcVillainDude, Silos is only ever assigning his task to SuperMcVillainDude (or SuperMcVillainDude's team). On DarkDarkittyDarkMan, Silos is only ever assigning his task to DarkDarkittyDarkMan. On HolyPaladin of Justice, Silos is only ever assigning his task to HoloyPaladin of Justice. Each of your characters is in his own universe, and you're always the main character. This explains why each of your characters saves the world or screws everything up the same way each time.

Or, if you don't like that interpretation, the letter sender is right, you shouldn't trust Silos, and he's just messing with everyone using alternate timelines. (Actually, this second interpretation is supported by the Paragon Time article September 27, 2007.)

No, Silos is Nemesis. It's not even a question any more. And neither Manticore nor Protean are Nemesis, considering Nemesis was born generations before either of them.

Yup. The Striga volcano is already occupied by a giant robot. No room for a giant death ray or rocket ship.

*cough* FYI... the Rikti aren't space aliens.

I'm not sure I understand. City Hall is just a building in Atlas Park, just like the AE buildings everywhere, or the Police Department, or the hospital, or Recluse's tower in Grandville, or... or... or... etc. There's nothing special about City Hall.

(Okay, the floor inside the main entrance to City Hall is special because of faked reflections, but City Hall itself isn't special.)

Look, I'm really sorry about this, but... Peregrine. It's a bird, a falcon specifically. The fastest diving bird in the world (>200 mph).

No, several of your suggestions are in fact difficult within the current game, based on previous comments by the developers. In particular, #2, 3, 14, 16, and 17 would be somewhere between "difficult" and "downright impossible" without essentially a rewrite of the game's core facilities (which is about as costly as making a new game, at which point... why not make a new game and stick it on store shelves?).

Similarly, #6, 7, 13, and 15 would be possible, but require a significant investment of time and/or resources; most probably far more significant than the outcome is worth.

The rest of your suggestions are closer to what I would call "simple". Tedious or not isn't the question here. (I do make distinctions between 'simple' and 'trivial'. Something 'simple' can still take a month or more to work on.)

Big masks keep on floating
Fly me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the graveyard
I miss Astoria once again
And I don't think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Ventiir sing about her
Well, I heard ole Baako put her down
Well, I hope mask Ventiir will remember
A graveyard man don't need him around anyhow

Sweet home Dark Astoria
Where the skies are so gray
Sweet Home Dark Astoria
Lughebu, I'm coming home to you

In Salamanca they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Eastgate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

Sweet home Dark Astoria
Where the skies are so gray
Sweet Home Dark Astoria
Lughebu, I'm coming home to you
Here I come Dark Astoria

Now Muscle Husks has got the Bonnies
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lughebu they take my head off so much
They pull me down when I'm feeling alive
Now how about you?

Sweet home Dark Astoria
Where the skies are so gray
Sweet Home Dark Astoria
Lughebu, I'm coming home to you

Sweet home Dark Astoria
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so gray
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Dark Astoria
Lughebby
Lughebu, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea M'teru's got the answer



THANK YOU TIKI ROOOOOM!

This, so much. Dr. Q has several missions which are identical with no real reason. The duplicate missions could simply be deleted without any real change to the story at all, and that would probably cut the time down to 3/4 of what it is now.

And BAB said that (paraphrasing) if the challenges gave rewards, failing the challenges should have similar punishments (eg: succeeding the time challenge gives +X influence, failing the challenge costs you X influence). He also said that it was his personal opinion, not the general opinion of the development team, particularly since he wouldn't be in charge of such a task if it were to be implemented.

But Neuron (Praetorian Synapse) is! He built the Silver Clockwork

Only if "Becky" is Becky the Tarantula Mistress

*snrk* hehee, bus...

To be fair, that's not really true. Each time Lusca pops up, there's one tentacle far enough away from the head and the other tentacles that you can kill it off just like any other GM. So long as your team can kill a GM, you only need 1 team to fight Lusca.

Of course, it still takes a while.

Well you're on the EU servers. Nobody plays there, duh!

But that's assuming every person is both adding to and taking things out of those bins. Even when everyone has access (which isn't always the case), that doesn't mean they use the access. Malicious Multiplicity has an Inspiration bin for each insp type, generally large inspirations only. I've contributed on multiple occasions, but I've never felt the need to use them. RO also has an IO Donation Center and, well... the name kinda explains it all.

I'm going to be frank and, honestly, probably rude. But assuming you act the same way in-game as you do on the forums, it may not be your sleep schedule that turns people away from your SG.

Check the underground parking garage. There's a road to the east of Mirror Spirit. Follow it underground.

I'm afraid to... she's got a really toothy grin D:

I'll bet against that. How much? I think I can afford to put up $1000 at the moment.

These things.

The devs made a few changes to Assassination (AoE tohit debuff and Terrorize if the target doesn't die, among other things), and now there's little mechanical reason for Stalkers to be unwanted. Snide remarks, &c. are the result not players not realizing the change and/or lingering memories and/or experience with bad Stalker players who just stealth to the end of the mission without helping the team.

The changes that need to happen to make the closed-minded people to accept Stalkers is to make them open-minded, which... well... um... yeah...

So? My highest level Empathy Defender doesn't even have Heal Other. Healing isn't what makes Empathy a powerful set, and if you just try to use the healing, you're going to tire yourself out playing whack-a-mole instead of playing City of Heroes.

Debuffs have nothing to do with your teammates, and there are several sets composed entirely of debuffs (or close enough)

Couldn't you monitor your stealth radius instead?

Edit: And hold on, Cloaking Device, Mask Presence, and Hide don't reduce your Threat multiplier, anyway.

500, actually

The combination of your defense and their tohit is floored at 5%, just like every other entity in the game (including players). However, the floored tohit is multiplied by accuracy. AVs have a rank-based accuracy of 1.5, and +4 critters have level-based accuracy of 1.5.

1.5 * 1.5 * 0.05 = 0.1125 = 11.25% chance to hit with floored tohit.
