    The kawarimi no jutsu or body replacement technique is a variant of the shunshin no jutsu or body flicker technique. While using the shunshin no jutsu to move at unbelievable speeds for just a moment the user places another object in his place. A side effect of body flicker is you leave an after image which allows a master to make it look like they were hit.

    This would not work for something you weren't expecting since you have to actually be able to doge the attack...so no get of free cards for razor cuts or stubbed toes.

    So, Black Scorpion and Tim Sweeney need to get their act together and come up with a straight answer.*




    *They're the same person.
    It's almost like when they are doing beta testing they are adjusting things to make the game more enjoyable before they go live!

    Jedi's are natural origin if they were master martial artist before they used the force and still concentrate on their martial arts.

It insinuates that a smart character is not, in fact, smart, but is actually receiving some kind of divine knowledge. I prefer to leave skill and smarts as being a character's own achievements, rather than some kind of meta-power.
    I don't see how being smart as a super power is insulting...

    I'm calling it a retcon because it went from 'incarnate of a deity' to 'mysterious power source that can be many things and that was just one of them.'
    Incarnate of a deity might be a side effect of fast power.

    The well gives you immediate overwhelming power and takes root in you bending you to its whims.

    Previous gods where probably men and women who drank too deep.

    If you feel the need to say this you should just supply your evidence and be done with it.

    Why would they care if they die?

    Can't they just lay there till it's over?
  8. I'm relatively confident my husbands account has this code already applied, but since 2 boxes is still cheaper then one month after shipping I took a gamble.

    Seeing multiple codes flagged as simply "retail" is so ******* lazy though.
  9. It makes sense.

    You are either flagged as beta or not.

    Someone has to turn that flag on or it is turned on when your account is chosen by a filter to fill open slots.

    If you have the flag removed (no need to invite people who might never know and therefore be of no use) it would have to be rechosen either by someone again flagging it or it be being auto flagged by the previous mentioned filter.

    Checking to see what codes have been used on our accounts as soon as I can get the password from MNP.


    ---edit---
    Oh wait that's right.

    The account page was organized by idiots who don't want to properly label anything.

    If that is what you wish your religion to be like, so be it.

    Get ordained on the internet and start a church.

    But I think we've crossed the moderator line on this with that picture...and any response to it.

    We'll see on Monday I suppose.

    My Natural guy does NOT run at 40 mph. That's a game mechanic which I ignore. He does NOT get a boost from IOs, he's in top physical condition. Now, in Paragon City, people are more fit than they are here on our world, but my guy is still Natural. Shoving a Magic suppository up his bum isn't going to happen: the Incarnate stuff is just going to be him firing on all cylinders and having a better-than-usual day, end of story.

    Watch this: here's what people can do in OUR world. See this video, too: despite the one "running on water" thing which was a fake video by a shoe company, that's an example of the Natural origin. There are dozens of such videos of incredible athletic abilities people have. Look up Cirque du Soleil or Billy's Balls (ping pong ball tricks) or business card throwing... there are all sorts of gifts people have.

    So yeah, my Natural guy can go head-to-head with demons and gods because he's just that good. That's how I play, and it's not wrong.
    mmm yes...you can tell yourself whatever story you like but it's a bit foolish to get upset at others who don't want to play along when you ignore the game story.

I don't think the devs illicitly shot down more models/skeletons (I think it was even brought up in one of the surveys when you deactivate your account or maybe one of the Art threads), but it was commented how much work it'd be.
    You are right. The only thing stopping the creation of animal models is the amount of work to reanimate everything for them. There is no engine limit in place for this one.

    Oh and redoing/creating costume pieces for them.

Personally, I can't imagine why anyone would take fly now other than for a concept character. Why would you waste a perfectly good slot to get somewhere far away in 21 seconds instead of 24? I know some people who don't have a travel power at all, and they suffer very little.

    I get what BlueRaptor is saying, and to some extent, I agree. The pool powers have pretty much all become blah, and the only real differentiation is in your primary and secondary powersets.
    I think fly needs to be buffed myself.

  17. I was jumping from one dress up flash game to another and MNP told me I could play with the City of Heroes character creator while he was at work.

    We shared an account until I had a system that could play the game.

    If it's the latter then we may never know as it's possible that they'll never be effective in Atlas Park.
    From my understanding they apply as long as you don't get leveled down below 50.

    Do you think being shifted to 51 will effect the range you get while throwing minions around Atlas?
  20. If you can afford 200+ plus for the game code you think you could have gone to the convention.
  21. Has anyone who keeps re downloading tried running the updater with the -mp option so it goes straight into major patch mode?

    The game will see you as 51 so you don't have as much of a level penalty when fighting 54s but you most likely will not see a stat boost.
