Quote:It'd have to be a female member of the Resistance getting Sister Silicone, because she totally gives off a not-interested-in-boys vibe.Originally Posted by YippeeGo
Of course, they're not going to tell you that, or even discuss it amongst themselves. Because they have to feign disinterest in order to make the others let their guards down so they can swoop in, save the day, and nab the girl. -
The GR website says:
"The Resistance attempts to awaken the populace to the reality of what's going on in Praetoria, and it does everything in its power to get would-be Heroes and Villains educated and out of Praetoria as quickly as possible."
Which means revealing that Boobcat and Sister Silicone have enough natural elements in them to make one normal woman. -
I'm just exposing loyalist lies - it's what the Resistance does, according to the GR website
-
It wasn't about her outfit - Bobcat made the reply in response to suggestions that Neuron had enhanced her too.
-
Bobcat actually confirmed in Pocket D on Thrusday that Sister Silicone's look involves plastic - so it's not just a rumor - it's been confirmed by a red name.
-
Well, exposing how fake the loyalists are is a major part of GR.
-
I didn't see any text from Sister Silicone in any of the zones I was in - but I'm sure she must have been do a little trash talk someplace

No, you can't.

I've hardly used the e-mail system - can you mark mails as read like you can with normal e-mail accounts?

Retcons are a big feature of comics, Foxpaw, because comics were never intended to have much continuity - they were aimed at teenage boys, with the expectation that they'd only read comcis for a few years before moving on to something else, which meant that the writers could reuse storylines and situations several times, as well as ignoring what early writers had done with characters, because it was assumed that the current readers would be new to comics, and wouldn't know about the earlier stories or events.
The major continuity problems started when teenagers began to continue with comics when they were adults - fans began to appear who'd been reading comics for a couple of decades, instead of the assumed couple of years, so the wirters were forced to come up with all kinds of wacky ideas to explain how the casual throw-away stories and series were actually all linked together - which caused a massive amount of retcons, which are still continuing today. -

I am also hoping you guys stop attaching Praetoria to our path to becoming an Incarnate. Give us some OTHER events/factions etc. Hopefully that is the plan for some of the Incarnate slots....

Quote:Wouldn't you just delete the mail after you'd claimed the stuff in it?Originally Posted by Snow Globe
So let me get this straight: You are using the gleemail system to send vouchers and certificates which means that if I unlock a voucher, the email notification will be an annoying red until I claim it on a character, and it will be permanently red if I get something account wide?
All I have to say is who wasn't thinking when they approved this? -
Quote:I've been dissing him and his fascist friends on every sever since the surge event startedOriginally Posted by Bittovan_Odduck
Golden - girl got the Cole'd Shoulder toward the end but I missed just how she dissed him.
But it seems like it was this picture I made yesterday just before the start of the Freedom invasion that finally made him crack:

Hmm, which War Witch showed up to defend is my question
.
None of Dominatrix's chat from when she was in PI is in that log either - unless it was censored - the broadcast/help channel replies to her got a little near the line for a T-rated gameQuote:Originally Posted by Xaphan
I kinda noticed it when I was passing through Kings Row at one point, but it seems like the devs have two types of Admin channels they can use. One is only zone wide, while the other is server wide. So, if there's some stuff in there you didn't see, it's probably because you weren't in the same zone as the OP.
He's been untargetable on each server for the whole surge event - he usually just stands there drinking tee while we smash his forcesQuote:Originally Posted by JKCarrier
Yup, I saw Cole in Atlas Park. He was wearing his old Tyrant costume, rather than the white military uniform. I'm pretty sure he was flagged as unkillable, but my powers were lagging so much it was hard to tell.
I'm going to claim half the credit for making the actual picture that provoked TyrantQuote:Originally Posted by Inazuma
Face it, none of us were necessary. Null the Gull beat the invasion all by himself!

Quote:A selectable salavge drop would need to have at least a week-long time gate on it - so it'd be better to have it only be available as a random roll, just like the Trial rewards - there couldn't possibly be a system where someone could run 4 solo arcs in 4 days and choose 4 very rares, compared to running Trails for those same 4 days and only getting commons from the random reward roll.Originally Posted by CactusBrawler
While they might not be able to time gate the arc, they could do so with a reward option.
You complete the arc and recive your token (lets say i dunno a voucher of the well?) you then take this to an NPC to either turn it in for a random roll (With 20-24 hour cool down) or you turn multiple of them in for a particular reward (again with a shared cool down of 20-24 hours). The same way hero/v merits can be turned in.
The Incarnate system is team-focused, and based on the Trials - so the Trials always need to be the best and fastest way of getting what's needed. -
Quote:One possible way would be to make a challenging solo arc that would have the same random reward roll at the end like a Trial, but time gate it to be available only once every 20 hours or so.Originally Posted by Dispari
Any new system they introduced would naturally fall somewhere between "laughably fast" and "unimaginably slow." Which is to say, it would be somewhere between the two current options.
Granted the trial method can go slow if you're unlucky, but it can also be laughably fast. The devs could literally introduce an option that gave you 1000 threads a day and it would still be (potentially) slower than grinding trials. And still cost more inf (since the trial method inf costs can easily be negative).
On the other end of the spectrum, the devs would be hard-pressed to make a solo option that's worse than "earn shards and make them into threads" option we currently have, which is unimaginably slow. At a reasonable pace it would still take 2.7 years and cost literally billions of inf. You could reduce the amount of time you take -- by drastically increasing the billions of inf you spend and the hours you grind shards a day. A time-locked system that only allows you to earn one common component a day would still be faster and more attainable than what we currently have as an alternative.
In other words, it's nearly impossible that any system they introduce wouldn't be an improvement for solo players. -
The Praetorian Hamidon Trial should be quite interesting then

So.. everyone who logs in this weekend is a D.O.P.E.
Did anyone at Paragon Studios think before naming the badge or is this a not so subtle hint about the developer's feelings towards the people who play this game? -
Quote:I think it's only for this period - but they can do Praetorian invasions again in the future, so you could get it again then on any new avatars made after this weekend.Originally Posted by Blood_Beret
Is this one of those, we have to login all toons during the time period to get the badge, or is it flagged for all future characters?

Quote:These stiff-armer types can't stand being mocked - and vowing revenge then running away doesn't really make me think he's more dangerous than any of the other supervillains we've fought so farOriginally Posted by Yydr
I think your insults upset Emperor Cole as much as him minions bickering, GG.

I like how Tyrant slowly fell aprat during the invasion - from all the stiff-armer nonsense of his opening speech to ranting about seagulls at the end
-
Tyrant seemed tp be loosing his temper near the end - in spite of his claims of victory

Solo Incarnate content is fine - but people need to be prepared for it to be a lot less efficient at making progress than the core Incarnate content of the Trials - the system simply isn't designed or intended to have a solo option be anywhere near as fast as the normal Trials option.

I'd just rather them use a more plausible contact.
