Breaking off the swinging iron gates in zones like IP and Faultline and then kicking them down the street, into the river, trying to prop them up against NPCs, etc. Nothing like Sister Psyche with a gate balanced on her head.

I thought I was the only one who did Sniper Hunting. Even more fun with my AR blaster where I can play "Elite Assassin" in my mind.

I once used my 48 Earth controller to fire off Stalagmites on a group of 5th Column in Steel Canyon and they wandered back and forth in a dazed row for what felt like an impossibly long time. Naturally, once they finally came to I had to do it again. And again...

People watching in Atlas Park is relaxing sometimes. I also enjoy costume contests (even if I usually don't win) just for the social atmosphere.

Running along the monorail lines for as long as I can before I slip off.

Sometimes when I see a GM, I get the urge to fire off a snipe at it and then run like hell, giggling to myself

Lovin' Tally-Ho (commented more on your DA)

Now I'm gonna need more "main" characters or somethin' A full color digital of each character? Heheh... maybe once I win the lottery

I kind of thought the grocery thing was a bug they'd be fixing but, if that's the case, it must not be high on the bug fixin' list.

Agreed, that's a pretty nice job for a robe and the closest I expect to see for a long while (if ever).

Running around last night...

Try to match the window interiors with the buildings. At least kind of. In Skyway, I looked at a block of buildings were the music store had a "Take Out" sign hanging in its window, the barber shop was filled with racks of books and the book store next door had what looked like frozen food racks filling it. And there was another music store a block away with yet another "Take Out" sign in the window. I wouldn't have guesses saxophone rental/chow mein businesses were so lucrative.

And why are the lights on in zones such as the Hollows? If the idea of a hazard zone is that the authorities have been forced to give over the area to the criminal element and just try to keep them contained, why do all the lights come on at night and why are there lit neon signs in the windows. If anything, it should look all boarded up like some of the RWZ buildings.

Afraid so. A lot of people have asked for full length robes, skirts, dresses, etc in the past but I believe the stock answer is no because too many powersets (especially martial arts) would clip horribly or just look really bad*. You may say "I don't care!" and I'd agree with you but we don't get to make these decisions


*Mobs who have robes such as Circle of Thorns members or Tsoo sorcerers were animated around their original design. Full length robes on PC models would require extensive reworkings that they're apparently not up to doing.

She's lvl 48 now... I should probably get her on a Hami raid one of these days

Once you're all done here, I need to locate a Fusionette costume wearable by a 6'1" male.



what?

Around level 15-20 for me. By then I know if the character has the right combination of name, concept, costume and playability to keep me interested.

When I fail to "feel" it for a character, it's usually pretty soon and I drag just to get to level 10-12 or so. Either I'm interested in the powerset but I just can't find a concept I like or vice versa and eventually I scrap and start over.

Croatoa is supposed to be a suburb of Paragon City although it looks as cookie-cutter as the city proper. No single family homes, restaurants, gas stations, etc -- just block after block of apartments with a university and a monorail station.

I would love some "major" municipal type buildings such as a grade/high school, library, museum, etc but I understand that unless it comes with a unique interior map, either we'll never enter the Paragon Museum of Fine Art or else (worse), it'll have Ridiculous_Office_Maze03 as the interior.

So, scaling back, how about a building labeled as an employment or welfare office? Community center? Cultural center? I suppose you don't want an explicit church but how about charitable organizations? Just stuff to make the city look lived in rather than block after block of identical office buildings, indistinct apartments and the same couple of blurry store windows.

Speaking of building interiors, can we get a few new bulletin boards and whiteboards? As much as I appreciate the notifications of for used college books in the police stations and the sales figures listed in the RWZ Vanguard base (complete with the "We care about customers..." mantra), I think they could be slightly more appropriate to the setting

If you pop onto 606, you can probably get someone to go red side and invite you even if there's not a villain on at the moment. Depending on how many people are on 606 at the moment, of course.

Yeah, visual distance is the biggest thing for me. I don't care how realistic the shadows look, they're not going to pull me in or out of the game as much as watching some boulder 100' away come into existence as geometric chunks as I fly towards it.

You mention Euros so I don't know if you have the North American or European client. They have different servers so if you're on European, you won't see Virtue or Freedom. I don't know which is the heaviest populated European server but when you log on and see the server list, it's arranged with the last server you played on on top and then in rank of population from least (top) to most (bottom).

Technically, I think they're ranked by server load but it's as good a calculation of population as you'll get.
