Yes - anyone cvan become a permanent Hero or Villains - or even a pewrmanent Vigilante or Rogue - once you've reached an alignment, you can stay there as long as you like.
The Tip and morality mission system made every alignment open to everyone, but it also got rid of "forced" alignments - everyone now chooses their alignement, even if it's just be not doing anything to change the one they have. -

Quote:What's that got to do with anything?It is also unmanly to be under 6 feet tall. The standards of masculinity in our culture are arbitrary, constricting and occasionally contradictory.

I'm just saying that guys should be more into horses, as they've been into them in the past - and it'll also score them bonus points with a lot of girls

Quote:A pony is just a size classification - and at the top end of the scale it overlaps with the size range that was often used for cavalry horses.Horse =/= Pony.
In "the old days", men rode horses to hunt (killing helpless animals is fun!), for transport (they might as well be inanimate objects... like a car), for farmwork, for war (which is generally an entirely different stock from other horses, with the catchall name 'warhorse'), etc.
Ponies are cute little pets. And there is a difference between a pony and a foal/colt/filly/yearling.
Several breeds, like Arabians for example, lie across the cut-off point, so some of them are ponies, and some of them aren't.
The difference between horses and ponies is the same difference as the one between humans who are over 6 feet and humans who are under six feet. -
Quote:What's with the ponies/horses = girly thing? Manfully manly men used to ride horses all the time in the old daysThat's right. You saw it with your own eyes. A guy who mentions guns in his sigfile loves him some Rainbow Dash and the rest of the Ponies.
I believe that makes "security in manhood" stereotypes balance out to zero, right? Lol.

I'm kinda neutral about it - a villain is a villain

Quote:Justice doesn't have a "current" status - something is either just or unjust, and that never changes - freedom of expression is always just, for exampleCurrently, discussing or referencing other video games on the board isn't just.


What you mean is that it currently isn't legal - and as Tyrant and his loyalist stormtroopers have shown us, the law and justice aren't always the same thing

Quote:From that statement, I'm guessing you've not actually played GR?I honestly can't blame the devs too much for thinking the majority of the playerbase just doesn't care about the story anymore. It still isn't a good reason for them not to care though.

And don't forget that one of the main reasons the Alpha slot was cut from GR was that the beta testers were asking for a more lore-based unlock for it, rather thna just buying it with merits

If I want to install the Euro Test server via the NCSoft Launcher, what should I add to the "[space]/LaunchGame=CohTest" part?
-
If the people call on you to let them mention other video games from time to time, do you develop a hearing problem?
-
They really should add a proper riding helmet to the costume creator - and maybe some proper boots too, although we can make a pretty good copy of forml riding wear already - apart form the hemlet
-
I wonder if Batman knows his cape is actually a clanket?

So you do like horses - that's good - we need more horsey people around here

Quote:But those two things go together - the new tech that the game has now is an important part of any discussion about updating older content.this thread should really stick to what storylines should be picked up again, not quite what goes in them.
The way the clone arcs, the Roy Cooling arc and the entire 1-20 Praetorian experience have been created opens up so many new ways to tell the stories in the older content.
Apart from Boobcat's Cheezburger Adventures, I can't really see how anything in GR is in any way less serious than anything done before in the game.Quote:I want to chime in on saying that it does feel like the writers no longer take themselves seriously. I know the obvious argument - how can you take comic book storylines seriously? But that's not true. You CAN write fantastical stories and still write them as legitimate fiction, as some of the greater comic book writers in the past have done. This is, in fact, how the original writers of the game treated it once upon a time - as serious fiction.
These days... I don't know. It feels like slapstick and laugh tracks. Corny, zany, campy stories without much of a semblance at a serious plot, cheap laughs instead of good writing, jokes instead of plot points... This does not make for a universe I can care about, because very little seems to matter.
Praetoria is a setting that's drips with misery and suffering from just about every mission, along with an overall atmosphere of relentlessly bleak desperation - we need the occasional Captain Castillo to balance things out. -

The Launcher isn't showing my Euro version of the game - it's only showing the American one, and the American Test and Beta servers, and is telling me I need to install a Euro verison even though it's already installed.
