  2. All you young whippersnapper heroes and your fancy travel powers at level 4.

    When I was a new hero, I had to walk through 5 zones to get a travel power, at level 14. And I needed a prerequisite too. Want to fly? Better get hover or Air Superiority. And we didn't even get those until level 6.

    You think you have it rough? Imaging needing to waste 3 power slots to get Stamina by level 20! You get Stamina, Health, Swift AND Hurdle, at level 2.

    Dang Kids.

    We had to level the hard way too. We ran missions. We did street sweeping. And we LIKED it. You young kids and your Sewer Trials and Mission Architect.

    Edit: We miss you Pluto!
  3. Thanks, I didn't notice the new thread (or notice them on live).
  4. I hopped on test after the update, and noticed some new costume pieces in the character creator.

    First of all, it did show the Bats aura, which is awesome.

    as for the rest.

    AWESOME!!!!! I like the two new heads (and all their options), the new wings, gloves, and boots.

    Well done devs.

    Don't know how to get it yet.
    Well, the power icon points to the Veteran Reward Pet icon, similar to the Vanguard MVAS non-combat pet.

    I'm betting it'll be a store item.

    The dogs. They were awesome. Actually the entire map looked good. The Dogs. I liked the return of the old CoT Defender costume. The Dogs.

    Oh, and I liked the dogs. Want.

    Being exemplared to level 29. That really sucked. I lost most of my powers for the trial.

    Experiment 9 was perfect in difficulty. The Abomination was hard. Without our main heavy-hitting powers, we just couldn't take down him AND 99 zombies in time. We tried several times.

    Not really. About the only time there was confusion was right at the start.

    Just right for length. Not too short, not too long.

    Unfortunately yes.

    I can understand their business decision to do this (that is NC Softs), and while it is frustrating, as we are all gamers here (duh), we should respect that they do not want topics about any competition popping up.

    I did a comparison between the COmpetition, Distinguished Competion, and City of Heroes.

    I would love to post it in the forums, but I know I can't. Despite the fact the CoX won, it is not fair to NC Soft or Paragon Studios to put any sort of commentary on other games.

    Now, I could just as easily compare CoX to WoW, Rift, Starcraft, Angry Birds, Scrabble, Monopoly, Dungeons and Dragons, Mutants and Masterminds or any other sort of game. This is why they make their rules. They make them strict and tight to prevent people from trying to find loopholes or saying "well so-in-so said this about that, so why can't I say tit about tat?"

    So they say No to everything and say "That's it, that's all folks".
  8. See my issue is ... I don't have hair. I am bald. Perhaps he could trim my beard....
  9. Already rolled up my SJ/SR Brute with a Boxer theme.

    Love this set. Totally awesome melee set.
  10. Quite Obviously we are getting Zero Wing Backpacks.

  12. Now, I understand that we are not entitled to compensation, and the EULA states that we are not entitled to any, Paragon Studios is a business.

    Business only stay in business by making money, and angering your customers is NOT a good way to do that. Now, I'm sure PS understands that many people are angry at all the constant downtime (and another 8 hours is scheduled tomorrow).

    If PS wants to continue to keep business, they will consider compensating the playerbase. They don't HAVE to, but it makes sense for them too.

    Should they give money back or add more game time? No, I don't think they should. That would hurt their bottom line. Giving everyone something like 80 Paragon Points or a free costume piece or something sounds like a MUCH better idea.

    A free costume piece, like an aura or a new CoT Pope hat or something would mollify some of the player base, and show goodwill, and understanding that all of this downtime is NOT something that the players should expect as a regular thing.

    Also, a little more clarity on this topic would also be appreciated. While we don't need to know technical details, keeping us in the loop is not a bad thing either.
  13. Normally I support the devs, but in this case, I simply can't. Way to drop the ball Devs.

    Now, MARTy, imho, is a good idea, however, as is currently seen, it is currently NOT working as intended. MARTy needs to be taken off-line and re-tooled. This is a serious issue fellows.

    When people log in and are not allowed to get rewards, or are (like me) choked after doing REGULAR GAME CONTENT, then MARTy is simply NOT functioning as intended.

    Take it off and FIX IT!!!!

    Also, We are a very understanding community, please, be honest and frank with us, and we will support you. Evade and cover things up at your own peril.
  14. Yay! Finally a contest for one of my toons I specifically modeled after a historical figure

    Also, Freedom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
  15. MCD for Panthro for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is not true. When you get the code, at the bottom of the picture, on the right hand side there is an EU Code button with the flags of the UK, France and Germany.

    Click on that and you should get a code good for a EU account.
  17. Is there a list of powers and the like for the Praetorian AV's from the Trails. I know about their Praetorian profiles on the Paragon Wiki, but I was interested in their actual Incarnate Trial powers.

    Thanks in advance.
  18. *hoorb*

    It would be very jubilant if the one whos air sounds say Dillo is the leader.
  19. I find it interesting. I rarely use Ms. Liberty to level up in the Beta. Mostly because of the crowding. I use BaBs instead. I actually do use the Atlas Icon, but that's because I want a super tailor, and don't feel like making the trip to SC/IP/FF/Pocket D or RWZ to get it.

    Yeah, BaB's in the Police Station is still a trainer. Ms. Liberty no longer stands alone.
  20. And here is Eisenmann, a Super-Strength/Invulnerability Tanker:



    and his artwork, this time by PlayWorkArt:

  21. Next up is Mdula, a Force-Field/Mental Blast Defender.



    And the artwork, again by John Becaro (Note: I actually wanted the leaf and spear added in to the artwork):

  22. OK, I should point out that I am not that good of an artist. I have commissioned all the pieces in my gallery.

    First, my main character Syn Apsis, an empathy/electric defender:



    and here is the artwork, done by John Becaro
