Genesis Man

Like all other weapon sets, you get to pick one weapon model per costume slot. The models are the same as the plasma rifle set PLUS a few new ones that are pretty amazing looking. No laser pistols though.

"I need a horse!"

This thread doesn't contain double-rainbows, as I was expecting.

Ran this just the other day with SG mates. As frustrating as the encounter is, that just adds unneeded insult to injury. An airstrike hitting underground makes NO sense.

So... am I the only one completely thrown by this statement?

"The trick is to travel in single file, to hide your numbers from the scaling AI."

Wait, what? There's not been a SINGLE trial I've been on that has mentioned this technique. It doesn't even make sense. Anyone have light to shed on the subject?

The closest actual set to Iron Man might actually be a human-only Peacebringer. The problem with that is their complete lack of power customization... makes for a hard time in "RPing" a new/different origin. That said, PBs really do have the necessary melee/ranged/armor mix.

On the other hand, a Traps/Energy Corruptor or Defender might also work. The tech-based primary sorta fits (and might be just different enough to help avoid a mod-smack) and I've always thought energy blasts best fit his repulsors.

My 2 cents.

In the southern reaches of Kenya, the cry, 'Cabio Sile Shango' has been echoing from the hills more frequently than superstition or even the most violent thunderstorm should warrant. Gone nearly unnoticed by those dwelling across the ocean, a new and powerful entity has arisen that threatens indiscriminately... and is on the move. The children of Africa all celebrate his departure, but know that it can only mean someone else's demise.

Azuria has been tracking the Africa-born man (if he still is a man) and has grown ever worried. Though agents of the M.A.G.I. have not recovered much information, they do have three facts in hand. First, the man appears to have tapped into a path of the Incarnate some time ago and gained great power, unchecked in his home land. Second, the source of his power appears to have subsided and he is on the hunt for more. Most likely he seeks this power in and around Paragon City where the recent influx of Incarnate power is most tempting. Third and perhaps most chilling of all, his people had named him the "Honey Badger." It is a moniker chosen to reflect his relentless, nearly sociopathic quest for power, with a seeming absence of fear.

Incarnates both hero and villain alike should be wary, for a hunter of Incarnates is at their doorstep.

I'll post a screenshot of the costume when I get home from work If it's not clear, BTW, I envisioned the Honey Badger as an Incarnate of the African god Shango, who has taken his power, consumed all there is to find in Africa and has now become a hunter of young and comparatively weak Incarnates.

Here we go. I actually hopped on Test to use the Animal Pack that was being tested there. Here are a couple of action shots as I was playing around:



I'm not sure the lion head is really the best head to use for the concept, but those teeth do seem indicative of "ruthless." I really wish there were more tribal-style themes available, as I would have happily/easily made a costume surrounding the tribal shield.

The pet was also added before the cottage rule was really on the scene. Wormhole also used to be single target... (back when I rolled my grav/storm)... now imagine THAT power set.

I like the idea of an "area of chaos" but feel that intangibility shouldn't be in there at all. I know it's probably there to exploit a "loophole" in the cottage rule, but... the only thing worse than an AOE intangibility power is a random AOE intangibility power.

Really do wish I could make this... especially the Pocket D/giveaway bit. Who would have thought getting a job in CA (originally from VA) would have actually made events like these harder to get into?

Hrmph.

Honestly, I've given up entirely on GMs. I remember getting prompt response for emergencies back "in the day," but now... there just isn't that kind of in-game presence anymore.

Exactly. I saw this and instantly thought, "Why is Google allowed to do this exactly?" I mean, it's not Google, but functionally wouldn't it be doing something very similar? I don't see the technical marvel here.

Yahtzee has never been one to delve into all that makes a MMORPG tick, but has mentioned WoW and CoH in passing before. I think his previous reviews have all have more touched on the issues of MMORPG's in general and have little to do with the actual strengths or weaknesses of a given game, though I could be wrong...

Now, he's reviewing one of the more recent additions to the MMORPG arena and (shockingly) rips it a new one. Not having checked out this new game, I don't know if it's a truly accurate assessment or not, but... his reviews are at least good for a laugh. Check it out here.
