Scientists at the LHC recreate cosmic conditions following the Big Bang

I know the actual title of the article says that they created "a mini Big Bang", but that's not accurate.

Freakin' sweet.

Ah, DBZA Vegeta ... how I love your magnificent bastardness.

Yes, yes ... aside from playing CoH.

I'm actually not doing that much at all this year. In getting an early start in preparing to move back to the U.S. early next year, I've kinda canceled holidays for the remainder of my time abroad. Besides, Halloween still isn't as big a deal here in the U.K., so there really isn't much impetus to go all out. I am about to sit back and watch the 4-hour Nightmare on Elm Street documentary, "Never Sleep Again". That, and start planning out construction of my costume for next year:

I must say, the gradual shift in this thread from "Arrogant, ignorant-of-many-facts OP gets told" to "Genuine F2P discussion" to "Dissection of somewhat draconian forum rule policy" has been most entertaining.

Thanks, y'all!

I demand a Howard the Duck/Duck Tales crossover! NAO!

Can anyone confirm or deny whether costume powers and Zombie Apocalypse enemies are now counting toward their respective badges?

The Ghost Rider design needs to be used for a relaunch of Ghost Rider 2099. I'd buy a ka-jillion copies.

To get into a few key specifics:

Actually hitting an enemy doesn't matter for the sake of building Fury; how often you attack and how often you're being attacked are all that matter.

Fury decays faster outside of combat than it does in combat. While you're in combat, it decays at the rate of .75 points a second. If you're neither attacking nor being attacked for 5 seconds, the decay rate will increase to 2 points a second until you once again enter combat.

Part of the recent Fury re-work has made it impossible to completely fill up the Fury bar on your own. No matter how fast you're attacking or how many enemies are swarmed around you, Fury will max out at between 75 and 85 depending on the situation. This is still doing quite a bit of damage, mind you.

You CAN completely fill your Fury bar via Frenzy, the Villain alignment power. If you remain a Villain for 7 days after completing a Villain morality mission, you gain this power. Should you become a Rogue, however, you'll lose it in exchange for the Rogue alignment power.

When fighting AVs, Monsters, or other players, Brutes gain an additional 5 points of Fury for every attack that hits their opponent, up to 70%. Since this is on top of normal Fury generation, it's fairly easy to hit your maximum when fighting these tough enemies.
