SMILIES!!

More kittens.

Pop-culture reference meant to be insulting to the OP/posters in thread/players of other game/*enter minority here*.


Some monkeys for good measure.

Sentence that has nothing to do with the topic.

Some more Ramblings.



Internet meme.


And an ending about one of the OP's topic points, but doesn't really say anything.

New Badges: Along with adding badges for 500 Badges Earned, 750 Badges Earned, and 1,000 Badges Earned, we are adding new exploration badges to city zones, almost doubling the number of exploration badges. You can learn new Accolades for finding all of the exploration badges in each city zone.



Increased Mission Count: You can now have seven active missions (previously three).


I'd start frothing at the mouth, but I'm watching a curling match... which just makes me apathetic to all of humanity.

Hang up your coat, kick off your shoes...



and leave your sanity at the door!

Those who are in the EoJ should recognize "Blah" as my way of saying hello.


And occasionally when I'm broadcasting that I'm LFT, I use "Awesome/Awesome" instead of the character's powersets.

"Hello, you've reach Vanessa DeVore. Since you are calling my phone, it means I am not yet psychically linked to you. So if you would leave your name, GPS coordinates, and bust size, I'll make sure to get right to you..."

-------------------------------

*In an obviously fake deeper voice* "Hello, you've reached a secret government phone line. We are currently tracing your location using our amazing spy satellites."

*Second person*"Hehehe"

*Regular voice*"Ssh man, this is hard enough as it is!"

*Deep voice*"If you would please stay on the line, we will be able to find you and..."

*Regular voice*"Hahaha, I can't do it. You've reached Frostfire, leave your name and message after the tone."

-------------------------------

"HeythisisSynapsesorryyoucouldn'treachme.Leaveyour name,number,message,andanythingelseafterthetone."

Who knew the Wicked Witch of the West had such nice legs?


-OR-


"Sally? SALLY!!! No... why, why did I tell you to take teleport!?! I, I was just being greedy, wanting to be Recall Friend'd everywhere... no..."

"SAAAAALLLYYYY!!!"

They're also spawning in "Corporate Culture", given by Phillipa Meraux, a 30-34 arc. Wasn't my mission so I didn't bug/petition it, but needless to say we went back to radio missions.


And that AE building bug is annoying as well, been on two teams now where the leader pulled that bugged spot for a mission.

I would be all for this, but I'm sure one can run both Hover and Combat Jumping at the same time, thus keeping the suggested +Def without the downside of landing and losing it, which would make a pretty big boost to a character's overall Defense.

The Reaper piece under Detail 2...


It just goes good with everything, and I simply can not stand how heads attach to torsos in this game. It looks unnatural. So nearly every costume (I think I have costumes that doesn't follow this rule) has a Reaper, Ninja mask, or Spiked Collar from the shoulder options.

Nearly all of my characters have had tragic events happen in their lives, but for the most part, they've all come out on top. Heck, for two of them, their major tragic event is that THEY DIED... but they pulled themselves up and cling to what they can do for others now.

But not for one of them... Not for Fullblade. Bear with me, long story will be long.


Justice Reaper, and his younger sister Fullblade, are the current Siblings of Destiny, children born whose lives prophesize a time of tumultuous change in mankind. Though born of human parents, SoD are not quite fully human. They are much more resilient and durable than a normal person, but are not considered Mutant, because all SoD during the course of history have been born like such. The clincher in being found a SoD is, well... twins born without lower jaws.

Almost immediately following their births they were taken in by the Order of the Four Winds. The Order raised and taught them their purpose of existence. The SoD are "entwined with fate" as some say. Around their coming of age (16 years old) is when the events that rock the very foundations of humanity start. And like clockwork, the day after their 16th birthday was May 23, 2002... the start of the first Rikti War. It however, was not their time, and they continued training with the monks for a few more years.

Most people make their fate, their destiny, through their own actions, or the actions of others, but it is different for the SoD. From childhood they knew the ending to their stories. Justice Reaper would be killed uncovering an unseen plot, and Fullblade would lead the charge in avenging his death, and ultimately stopping the world shattering plot, but dying herself. This was fact, was how it was going to happen.

Justice Reaper came to Paragon City in late '05, and started helping anyway he could, making friends, and even joined a supergroup, The Justice Strike Force (which, now that I think about it, nearly all our characters are tragic past central). He foiled villains, saved lives, and was... happy.

Fullblade followed him a few months later, and did her part to keep the city, and the world, safe. But she was always searching for inklings of what may be the unknown threat. She lived to find her "Moment of Glory". And it came and went without her realizing it...

July 23, 2007 was a slow crime day, and JR was helping the caseload of some newer heroes by investigating a suspected Vahzilok base in the sewers. He cleared it out easily, but the auto-port badge things they give out to transport criminals to the Zig weren't working, and he could feel a slight pulsating vibration coming from nearby. He trekked deeper, and came across Rikti scientists attempting to break back through to their dimension. He watched for awhile, having been to other dimensions through Portal Corp. before, and it always awed him that such acts were possible. After observing for a little more than an hour, his blood ran cold... they had broken through.

He was trapped in a Rikti base, out of communication range, and his medical transporter badge was being jammed. He panicked, for a moment. He was up against insurmountable odds with no way out. But he calmed... this was it. This was his time. He attacked, and took down countless Rikti before falling himself. His world went white...

But he never felt Death's cold hands, he had been saved, by his guardian angel no less (or at least a servant of something that calls itself god). Alexis was the most pitiful angel in heaven. She lost all her wards within weeks of getting them, so she was determined to make sure JR lived. The problem is he was right, it was his time. If he had died there, Fullblade would have led an onslaught with a multitude of heroes to wipe out the portal and all the work done there, the Second Rikti Invasion would have never happened, and the Rikti on Earth would have probably signed a peace agreement.

Alexis was kicked from heaven, and missing their time to die, Justice Reaper and Fullblade are essentially immortal, stuck in time, forever young. JR and Alexis, who has taken the name "Feathered Reaper", are married, and spend their days helping new heroes and running the JSF. But Fullblade resents how the events played out. Her purpose in life was to die, to go out honorably... she missed her moment of glory. She's been drifting between depression and taking her rage out on the criminal elements of Paragon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!


/end kermit

I'll give a whack at this...


War I see as a Scrapper or Tanker... any set but Ice would fit.

Death... hmm, no Dark Miasma? Well, how about... man, this is hard... maybe a Warshade?

Pestilence I see as either a Rad or Trick Arrow, though TA fits better due to having no buffs at all.

Famine fits great into an Elec/Elec Blaster... the enemies won't be able to do anything when starving for endurance.


*edit*

Ah, one character? That, my friend, would be Chaos!

And I have just such a solution... a Gravity/TA Controller... don't take Crushing Field, Dimension Shift, or Gravity Distortion Field, as they'll only add Order to the mix. Wormhole will be your friend.

*goes off to play their Grav/TA/Primal Controller... mmhmm, Chaos*

Hmm, when it comes down to just handling large amounts of enemies so the team can take care of them... I'd bet on a Plant/Trick Arrow Controller.


My Plant/Emp can handle four groups of OVER aggro while my team finishes off the first one. And my Gravity/TA only has the single target attacks, Wormhole, and Singularity from Grav, yet still controls just fine using Entangling, Glue, Ice, Poison Gas, Oil, and EMP Arrows (she has the other two as well).


Plant/TA would definitely be able to to control the battle field.

Yeah, from what I can figure out the few times I get an Orenbaga Prison map, there's 5 spawn points in that room, not counting any special spawns that might be for a single mission.

You've got the two as soon as you come in the door, that's were alot of team have trouble, because they're spaced just far enough that it is split aggro. There's another up the walkway on the right. Another spawn down in the water (don't their robes get soggy?). And finally another set up inbetween most of the cells.

Though I'm not certain on that last one, it could just be that's where a lot of hostages and patrols end up when I fight them...

Welcome to the city!


If you feel like giving the Justice server a try, I co-lead a newbie friendly Supergroup called the "Justice Strike Force" (I didn't name it!), and we'd be more than happy to help you through learning the game. My global is @Justice Reaper

Unless you're playing a trial account, then you can ask someone to send the tell for you. I don't mind answering any number of questions you (or other new players) have about the game.

Though my friends say my namesake, Justice Reaper, is the coolest, I also get kudos from others for some of my other names.



Psycote, the chaotic/psychotic coyote girl.

Roze

Arctixite, my 0 Kelvin infused Cold/Ice defender.

Bracer (actually saw a 50 Peacebringer in Jan '06 with the name "Bracer." that got sad when he saw her running around Atlas at level 2 or so).

How are the Super Booster packs unbalancing?

With Self Destruct you die, and an ally can not rez you nor pass you a self rez, and everyone has the ablility to carry awakens.

Mystice Fortune is decently powerful, but you can not use it on yourself, and it's a random buff. Not to mention once you have your fortune read, you can't get a new one for 20 minutes. I once got "The Fool" card 5 times in a row, on a speed-freak Blapper no less.... felt like the game was trying to tell me something.


The only add-on powers that are remotely unbalanced are the Pocket D/Mission Teleporter, and Jump Pack/Game Card Rocket Pack ones. And even then it's nowhere near as bad as you make it sound. The teleport ones shave maybe a few minutes off of your travel time, and all characters can gain a Raptor Pack as early as level 5.


But additional enhancement slots for sale?!? Do you realize how inconceivably broken that would be? It's more likely the Devs adding a auto-level to 50 purchase before adding buyable enhancement slots. I can see maybe.... maybe 1-4ish reward slots on a medium difficulty task (not LRSF/STF level), so that everyone has a chance at them, but it would still be an idiotic move. Castle and his crew would have to balance a game where some players have more slots than others, and it could heavily affect how a character plays...


If the was ever a need for JRanger, it's now.

I know it wouldn't work right storywise, as the FP were able to finish the job themselves, but....

I really want to Ouro back to Brass Monday.

Wait'a'second!

If they pulled off that all the great stuff we got after being downsized to 15.... just think what we could get if it was only 2 people!


SexyJay on costumes.

And someone to make sure the servers are running.


/endcrazy


In all seriousness though, you guys rock.
