    I like this.

    Nothing. Why not give them both a reward, perhaps? Surely Batman isn't going to complain if Superman defeats the Riddler?
  3. What's the most common scene in a movie? Probably the chase scene! So where is this aspect of hero-ness in City of Heroes?

    I would suggest that one way you can add this is when a villain escapes from a safeguard mission, then you can spawn a van on the map with a HP bar and have faction enemies shooting the heroes from nearby rooftops as you try to beat the van up. For City of Villains, you could do something similar, I guess you're beating up a potential victim's van.

    This could also be added into the game as a triggered event or even a spawned event. It would be neat if the van could zone, too, perhaps.

    I can see the barriers that would prevent this, but if all you do is think about why something cannot be done, it'll simply never happen.

    Got any thoughts that might make this idea better? Please state them!
  4. It appears there was an issue with the operator of the computer.
  5. This has been suggested SO many times, it's a wonder the devs haven't read any of the posts concerning it!

    In my opinion, there should be a certain amount of this type of thing going on in most zones anyway, rather than static mob "spawns".

    When I read about Going Rogue it just confirms to me that they're happy to have the same old ancient standing-in-the-same-spot mobs and npcs. Quite disappointing, really.

    I think this is a good effort, but I also think that once people start to get, as you said, beaten down by so-and-so, they will stop going there. Again. Even though the reward is improved, the risk will still be too high. It's my opinion that this measure would simply provide fodder for existing PvPers for a short time.

    Nerd Powerset

    I would be interested to see how the community would react to the notion of a "nerd" powerset. You know what a nerd is, so fill in the blanks yourself.

    I crush your head,
    X-Ray glasses,
    Tin foil hat,
    etc

    etc, you get the idea.
  10. I'm a little disappointed that someone else did the Arithmetitian before me, but on the other hand, I'm happy that my idea was good enought that it was put into another game.

    hey all on union

    Learning to use the chat tab interface is helpful. Begin by right clicking on a chat tab ...
  12. IMO the game should show which bosses you still require, rather than a 5/10 style display. Perhaps this is asking too much...

  14. I think that the D&D system is wrong. Rather than "evil" it should be selfish. As such I guess I'd want to see myself as chaotic good, but I have to say I'm probably neutral lawful.

    I'm not reading 12 pages to make one facetious comment, so please add me to the list of people saying that now we truly can run before we can walk.
  16. This is a great idea! Yeah, go numbers!

    I was reading about Harvest Festival on Wikipedia (no, I don't have anything better to do) and it said (it being the new bible, inaccuracies and all) that Thanksgiving was a version of Harvest Festival and WAS about thanking God for whatever the harvest has been like. So if you want to do it, call it Harvest Festival, but avoid all the dodgy God nonsense.

    Mind you, there's no such thing as ACTUALLY permanent. "Permanent" pets just have a duration of 99999 seconds, which comes up to about 27 hours.

    [..]
    Phantom Army decoys are summons from a control set, but they are still temporary, and on a rather short timer, as are the Creeper Vines, I believe.

    So there are exceptions, but for the most part, the rules hold true.
    So is the reason my fluffy and sentinel vanish after 4 and 1 minutes respectively, afaik, that I am a defender? The equivalent pets in controller last until killed/zoned?
  19. Well, my lancastrian (English) accent came out as:

    You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."
    I don't get asked those questions. Mostly I get asked to repeat what I just said.

    There are many reasons why it might happen, and the truth is probably a combination:

    It possibly harks back to the 1950s when americans were seen as cool and exotic because of Elvis and/or movie stars like Marlon Brando/James Dean.

    There are plenty of musicians who sound regional, but it's also worth bearing in mind that all the pop that gets into the American market comes through people like Simon Cowell. If he doesn't like regional accents (or thinks that americans won't like/understand/buy them), then you don't get to hear them.

    You should also recognise how lazy (not an insult) the american accent is, the words are like pebbles worn by the sea, the rough edges which you find in the accents of other countries are rubbed away. It's easier to say "gonna" than "going to", for example, and this is usually allows for a better flow of words which is important when singing.

    I believe that it's significant that a lot of americans came originally from south-western england, where the accent is very rounded. Think pirates. A lot of americanisms appear to originate here.

    Yeah, it's a shame that a lot of powers are utterly crap, but I suppose that's what happens when "devs don't care"(tm). Do you think they do a search for that? Hmm. Anyway, I'll delete the toon - electric (ranged) seems rubbish and I don't like dark anymore.
  22. Left/Right Leg/Arm accessories. That is all.
