Quote:So you beat up witches and get a badge called "Malleus", and that's not evoking the witch killing book called "Malleus Maleficarum"?Originally Posted by UberGuy
The word in context is not honoring the awful historical deeds of which you speak, nor is it intended to evoke them. -

Sorry.... no 2XP in AE this time around.
But then again, that makes sense.
They already hate users that use AE for the purposes of leveling. AE is supposed to be artistic expression...
That's why when you go there.... you can hear the lovely background sound of chirping crickets and dust storms....

Quote:And my position is based on that horrible book helping the murder of thousands and thousands of women over several centuries.Originally Posted by UberGuy
I find this position objectionably politically correct, and oppose its influence over the game on these grounds.

Quote:None of those are on quite the same level as the "Malleus" badge - it's a reference to a very speciffic evil thing, not just a generic bad thing - it's not morally ambiguous - it's pure evil.Originally Posted by Autonomous Prime
Wanna go with the "moral objection" route? Let's dance.
- http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Shark_Hunter_Badge The number of sharks killed by humans is astronomically higher than the number of humans killed by sharks!
- http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Cap_Buster_Badge Innocent people get caught in the crossfire of gang shootouts every day!

- http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Homewrecker_Badge Sleeping with someone else's husband is a bad example for young women!
- http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Assassin_Badge Do I even NEED to say why this isn't heroic?
I somehow doubt that's what you want. Plus, the witch hunts you refer to were indeed a very regrettable part of human history, but they occurred about 3 or 4 CENTURIES ago.
The passing of time doen't make anything less evil - bad things are still bad, no matter how many years ago they happened.
Also, a homewrecker is a term for a man just as much as a woman, so you should say that it sets a bad example to young men too

Positron's message said they're going to fix it during the weekend, so my guess is it'll be sometime tomorrow evening.

Quote:So far, only Martial Arts and Super Strength have alternative animations, but it's quite possible they'll roll this out to other power sets sometime.Originally Posted by Ironik
What are you guys talking about? I re-colored Ironik's attacks and they all looked the same. Are you saying we can choose the animations now? Can we do that with other powers besides Martial Arts?
Edit: ohhhh.... I see them now. Cool.
And what about other powersets? -
I'm looking forward to these

Interesting to compare that poll for new CoH zones, and the zones in CO
-
We're the good superhero MMO - that's a big enough difference
-
It's not really a confusing name - CoV has been dropped, and the whole game is just called "City of Heroes" now - like the GR marketing stuff shows.

Quote:The problem is that it's a badge for Heroes that has a title that's taken for a horrible and evil book that helped in the murder of thousands and thousands of people, mostly women.Originally Posted by Shadow Wail
I am Wiccan and I have no problem with the Malleus badge...the name fits the action that you are doing to get this badge! I don't see the big hooplah?
It's not a religous objection - it's a moral one. -
That's not so acceptable

Quote:Capes available at level 1?Originally Posted by MaestroMavius
I'm curious though, if they do open it will the cape mission be altered?

"Bust" is also acceptable

Quote:And referring to them as a "rack" won't do you any favorsOriginally Posted by Twisted Toon
Depends on what you want from me. Directions, no problem. $1, sure thing. A night in a hotel room? Most likely not. Personality does a lot more for me than a nice rack. The nice rack, however, with catch my eye as you approach.
A rack is something you keep clothes or towels on - the correct term is "breasts" - it's not that hard a word to say

I'm always looking down anyway, so it'll be harder to tell where my eyes are aimed at anyway

Like badges?

Well, it's around the time a lot of people are expecting the first wave of GR closed beta, so there could be some sort of Praetorian clue in the capsule.

XP doesn't concern me, Admiral. I want those badges, not levels

Quote:And while it would obviously be beyond even the baddest taste to have that, it'd still be on the correct side of the fight between heroes and villains, becuase we'd still be fighting agianst the evil - but the "Malleus" badge is putting us on the evil side, because it's presenting an evil thing as being somehow good.Originally Posted by Dispari
This is a pretty wild thing to say. Nobody's trying to deny history. But there's an ocean of difference between a history book and throwing something like that into a game, which is just for fun. There's no reason for it to be used, and plenty of healthy alternatives. There's a difference between trying to burn history books and saying "Hey the 5th Column should have concentration camps. That'd be fun, right?"
