  1. Do they have any effect on Incarnate XP? I just finished the DA arcs and it just occurred to me that I should have looked into that.
  2. I was watching Cheers on Netflix and wishing they had Happy Days.

    New Dance

    One of the things I love about CoH dance emotes is that they are completely stupid. They are all really dumb dances that nobody would ever actually do in a club. They look stupid and make anyone doing them also look stupid. I like that.

    Please, for the love of all that is good and right in the universe, no line dancing. Ever.

    Your DXP Plans

    Spring cleaning around the house all next weekend. House, yard and garage all need a complete workover. I'll be able to get on in the evenings to enjoy some double XP and try to get a couple more levels on Frosty Femme. One day I might even manage to hit level 50 with her, but it's doubtful. She's been around for 7 years and hasn't made it past 32.
  5. I would have to say that side switching is what ultimately brought my "main" into line with what I'd always pictured. She's a Bots/Traps MM, I got her to level 50 as a villain, but never really saw her as a villain, and wrote her back story to make it clear that if she could ever switch sides she would do so without a second thought. Now she's a Hero and about to finish up the Dark Astoria arcs. I finally managed to slot an Incarnate power in her Alpha slot last night. I don't know that it's really doing her much good, but I feel better about not having my one and only Incarnate slot sitting empty.
  6. Maybe introduce a couple of different kinds of respecs? A Partial Respec that allows you to respec one power at a time starting with the most recent and a Slots Respec that automatically resets all your slotting to one per power and then allows you to redo that portion of the respec.
  7. I had to design a version of my costume that did not include the steampunk backpack because the combination of low light, fog in the missions and smoke from the backpack made it very difficult to see anything. There were multiple times where I actually ran right past mobs that I couldn't see. Luckily, on my Bots/Traps MM an ambush just means I actually have time to shoot my laser gun a couple times before everything dies.

    It's a cloaking shield built by the 5th Column to hide their base on the dark side of the moon. Any day now they'll be launching space zeppelins to come home and rebuild the Reich. They come in peace.

    Because it (or something very similar) has been asked (and by "asked" I mean "begged") for by the community since there was a community. My very first thought when I saw it in the market was "OOOOOH! BIG RED BALL!" I don't know if an actual big red ball will ever be possible, but this is close enough for me. I'm ecstatic about this. The time was not wasted even a little bit. It just shows that they listen to what the community wants. We've wanted a completely nonsensical item to pass around for no purpose other than happy fun good times since before the game was released. We finally got something. It's not what we specifically asked for, but, I, and many others, have always seen The Big Red Ball as more of a symbol for what we wanted, rather than a specific item.

    I'd love to see a version of the "tights top" that's a little more like this real world cosplay example:

    I'll be in my bunk.

    Crab Legs

    Even made sure a red name looked at it, got back to me saying they'll look at the options.
    Awesome. Good to know someone is looking at it.

    While the ability to use chest symbols in place of the Arachnos symbols would be wonderful, I think there are tech issues that would keep this from being feasible. I'm willing to settle for just having an option that does not include the spider.

    Crab Legs

    I don't know if this has ever been brought up before, but having recently gotten my first Arachnos Soldier to 24, my attention has been brought to bear on our nifty crab legs. I love them. With all my heart. But, if there was anything I'd like to change it would be to add an option for crab legs with no Arachnos symbols on them. Especially now that we can switch sides and be all heroic. I brought my nifty new Crab Spider to blue side and even have a snazzy patriotic costume for him. Luckily, because I'm using red as the primary color the Arachnos symbol mostly blends in, but on his steampunk themed costume it sticks out like a sore thumb.

    Any chance of getting a third option in the drop down? Custom Without Symbol? We can already remove the Arachnos chest symbol so this is thematically consistent from where I'm sitting.

    OK. Let me know if you happen to find it. I really liked that sketch. It was just naughty enough without going overboard.
  16. Nobody is getting kicked for using knockback powers now because there's no alternative. What's being proposed is to provide an alternative. I've been around MMOs long enough to know that no matter how special, unique and open minded the game's community thinks they are...they aren't. What Doctor Roswell says is spot on. The devs add this to the game and it will become a standard for teaming no matter how many people come into this thread and say they would never kick anyone for not using it. This is already a mildly divisive subject, let's just leave it as mildly divisive instead of throwing fuel on the fire.

    Myself, I would leave my KB on no matter how many teams I got kicked out of.
  17. As a serious reply, I cannot count the number of times I've dropped a low health runner while my bots were otherwise occupied. I honestly cannot imagine playing Wrecking Gear without being able to shoot stuff. I think I actually have most of her attacks, too. I have a great deal of fun using my wide area web from the Mace Patron Pool (or whatever the hell it's called) and then hitting the whole group with a Photon Grenade while my bots unleash their lazery, flamey, missiley fury upon their immobilized butts. Not to mention the number of times it has saved me when my bots got bugged and stood there doing nothing while I got pounded on. I practically soloed all the last part of WWD 4 without my bots because they were bugged. I wouldn't have been able to do it with just my Nemesis Staff.
  18. And then there's Sony's track record for handheld gaming devices...
  19. I'm so glad you're back, Alex. I've really missed your work. Do you happen to still have that ultra sexy sketch you did of American Dreamgirl way back when? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

    This does not address my irrefutable "PEW! PEW! PEW! LAZERS!" argument.

    This.

  22. I've been hating on Robotic's Pulse Rifle options ever since they started adding weapon customization to the costume creator. They've never had decent choices there and I'd be very surprised if they ever added any. Porting over the options they have for Beam Rifle would be a good start, but I'm not holding my breath. I gave up on this a long, long time ago.
  23. My oldest character, a seven year vet I created barely a month after release, and my forum namesake is only level 32. I plan on getting her to at least level 33; maybe even 34.
