Indeed! Evil cannot possibly triumph over the power of the Woofers Cannon!

On the Skulls, it could work, at least on the Gravedigger initiates. At that level, they should look like what they are: a ragtag group of jackasses who think they're hardcore because they're part of a gang. In fact, I could see the Death Heads throw barbs at the Gravediggers over it.


Stuff like that.

Now, as for the accents, I'd rather that stay restricted to the higher ranks. The Gravediggers and Death Heads should be your average punk, with MAYBE some Slavic mannerisms slipping through from hanging out with the higher-ranking Skulls. Perhaps have a few of them say something in a Slavic language, as though to keep passing heroes from overhearing their plans.

But to give them all this accent? No.

In Batman: Arkham Asylum and its sequel, the Detective Mode function basically gives Batman an X-Ray view of the world around him, allowing him to scan clues, spot enemies, etc. If you need any further explanation, go do a search for it on Youtube. There are dozens of videos showcasing it.

While my idea wasn't quite the same thing, it does bring up roughly the same result.

Semi-transparent textures and objects in CoH filter out certain particle and effect textures. These particles and textures could be used to hide certain mission objects, which the player would reveal by viewing them through a semi-transparent prism or screen.

This goes in line with a common trope in superhero media where the hero must look through a special lens or artifact to see some invisible and/or supernatural whatsit. I used Batman's Detective Mode vision as a reference, since that's pretty much what Batman uses it for in the games.

In CoH, the effect could be accomplished using simple item placement or by applying the transparency texture to a screen-texture overlay. The latter could be used for navigating an obstacle course of invisible deathtraps, for example.

No, I mean "detective." If you've ever played Batman: Arkham Asylum or Arkham City, you should know what Detective Mode is. And if you know what Detective Mode is, you should have an idea of what I'm talking about.

HERE LIES AN HERO
WHO FARMED HIS WHOLE LIFE AWAY
HE BOUGHT THE FARM

HERE LIES AN HERO
WHO DENIED HIMSELF HIS REST
HE RESTS IN PEACE

YOU ARE A HERO
WHOSE LIFE IS NOT YET OVER
PLEASE GO OUTSIDE

I'll try and cut out all the Incarnate crap for you.

Twilight's Son works for Mender Silos. Mender Silos has been revealed to be a future version of Lord Nemesis.

There doesn't need to be a Well involved to explain this. It's Nemesis. He fired the shot that started the Rikti Wars, and half the game's content tells us how THAT played out. So he's done this sort of thing before. If throwing an entire race of living beings into a furnace will suit whatever agenda he's cooked up, Lord Nemesis will find a way to throw those beings into that furnace and come out with clean hands and the world none the wiser.

That said, the only character in the CoH mythos that knows what REALLY happened to the Kheldians is going to be Mender Silos, until a future issue lets us beat the truth out of him.

Yes. You're working with Ouroboros, which is all about time travel. Whenever you insert time travel into the equation, chronology quickly becomes a big mess of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey...stuff.

And unfortunately, this particular Doctor did NOT have a TARDIS.

EDIT: Every time somebody posts that reference, take a shot.

Here's how I get around that issue:

1. If I'm not using my pets for combat or RP, I don't have them active. Your MM is not going to burst into flames and die if he walks through a zone without pets trailing him.

2. I summon pets after I zone into the mission. It's easy enough to catch up and make up for the time spent. Which WILL be shorter than if I had to /release and resummon them.

3. If I DO have to /release them...I have it set as a macro slotted right next to the one for "dismiss all" in the tray.

All that said.../unsigned, on account of having solved the problem myself.

My pets don't work for me. I work with them. So far, that's worked out well for us.

It took *WHAM!* extra time for me to *WHAM!* read all that *WHAM!* with my *WHAM!* head banging against my *WHAM!* desk.

I've heard quite a few "Team (name)" based on the team's makeup. Usually teams with 6 or more of the same AT will be dubbed Team...

• Smashy-Face: Brutes
  • Forth Eorlingas: The Brutes all have weapon-based sets, i.e. Broadsword, War Mace, Battle Axe, etc. Shield Defense considered a plus.

• Seafood: Kheldians

• Firing Squad: Blasters and Corruptors
  • Sunset Riders: ...with gun-based powersets in general (Assault Rifle, Beam Rifles, Dual Pistols).
  • Reb Browns: ...with rifle powersets (Assault Rifle, Beam Rifles)
  • John Woo Gun Fu (JWGF): ...with Dual Pistols.

• Zerg Rush: Masterminds
  • Robot Zombie Ninja Rush (RZNR): Each MM has a different pet type.

Ah, yes. The Special Agent Sharpshooters. The point at which you realize that CoH's "OH, F*** YOU" moments do, in fact, happen outside of missions.
