A Storm/Water blast defender named...The Bronado. Superpowered fratboy extraordinaire. -
Two big wishes...
1) Kevlar/ tactical vests. We've got plenty of high-tech chestplates in-game, but nothing for a more normal soldier.
2) Scally/newsboy/flat caps. Basically, hats like these:

(Note: the char name is actually Le Quebecois; a supersoldier in the Canadian Forces and his presence with a Battalion of Princess Patricia’;s Light Infantry at Armbruster AFB in Paragon is just a cover- they’ve all been working with Vanguard. His identity as LE Q is heavily classified, and is the primary reason for his occasional ‘Whoops, gotta go, duty calls!’ moments. I rotate through a sizeable stable of characters, so send me a mail or tell, no matter which char I’m on, and I’ll work with ya!) -
Now, if this is a nemesis sytem they're impletementing this leaves me with one key question: is Lunar Eclipse's nemesis going to be Lunar Wrath...or the Rick James A.I.?

Hey...not my cuppa tea,but I wish you the bes tof luck with the recruiting drive, dude!
Out of curiosity...why are wakies banned when you allow self-rezzes and outside rezzes from other characters? -
Some, but not all of them.
Lunar Wrath is the praetorian equivalent of Lunar Eclipse. Wrath hates Loony because he thinks he’s a slovenly, underachieving slacker who besmirching his good name. Loony hates Wrath because Wrath tried to kill him….and ‘cause Wrath is a douchenozzle.
Traceur has never met Loony, but he knows OF him. He thinks he’s a dweeb.
DJs Castor and Pollux had BETTER know one another: They’re identical twin brothers. They also work together in their non-DJ job: they’re intergalactic and interdimensional explorers for their homeworld’s science ministry.
Arc Charge has seen some of Traceur’s movies. He thinks he’s cool. Traceur doesn’t even know AC exists. -

...I, er, work in Marketing.
Research, specifically. Just not for Paragon.
We don't hate you! We simply want to exploit your psychological weaknesses to sell you crap you don't need! Is that *so* wrong? -
Traceur woudl be hesitant, but ultimately join the Omega Team- he can be hilariously self-certered and convinced that he's god's (specicfally Hermes') gif tto mankind...but he really is a decent sort and would jump at the chance.
Plus, he loves defying death and taking wild risks, and well...a mission like that is too much to pass up.
I do agree with Tony on the alpha team thing (and incidentally is why a lot of my blue-side characters are willing to cut States a break and defend him when the argument crops up- the guy has, is doing and likely will do a lot of good work, even if he can be a stick in the mud sometimes). My main, Lunar Eclipse, wouldn't hesitate: He knows he's not a big hitter (He's more of an investigator, really), but he will do every little bit he can to help people. -
Wow. It's like she pissed off a Tzimisce or something.

So, any idea what's going to happen in 11 days?
And then we'll die. -
As a life-long Montrealer, I cuncur with the furstration expressed in general by the OP of this thread...but choose to blame the province and its general back-asswardness rather than NCSoft/PAragon.
It blows, but c'est la vie.
At least we get poutine at will, so there's the tradeoff. -
The Rectifier.
Think about it.
Note: No offense is meant to anyone who might actually possess this name for their char. It's jsut a name that could be considered so very, very wrong if taken a certain way *g*. -

A couple hundred bucks? I hope you're talking about system price - which itself is false, unless you're looking at a new system anyway. Windows 7 = 32 and 64 bit in the same package. Same product key. Every windows 7 box you get (retail, not sure about OEM) = both versions.
I'm Canadian, our software prices are a tincher higher than down south.
The basic upgrade backage for Vista to 7 here is 130 bucks plus tax (Thus, 150 bucks). Thus I exaggerated a bit, but not hugely.
Still, I'd rather buy DJ Hero for that kinda bank. *g*
Edit: Now, just to elaborate/shore up my position here: I'm not saying that GR is likely to take a monster system, or that it'll break the bank to get a system that'll run it properly. I'm arguing that it's not in the best interests of the devs to create such a richly-anticipated feature that REQUIRES a monster system to run, and thus would only be available to a small number of players. I'm reasonably sure my existing system will be able to run MOST of the GR features just fine. -

So, so true.
But what foo' buys their system straight from Dell? Like I said, Ultra mode is for ULTRA players. :P
Er. Me.
Becuase frankly, A) While I can upgrade individual components within my PC (and do), actually building one from scratch would make my head spin. B) I don't have the TIME to do that sort of shopping and assembly, and 3) Because well, it's a helluva lot easier.
As a result, I'm not exactly willing to drop another couple hundred bucks to pick up a 64-bit OS when my current one seems to run just fine for pretty much everything I chuck at it.
...there's a strange undercurrent of elitism running through certain members of this thread: "Ultra mode should only be for teh hardcorez gamerz who have loads of cash to spend on their system to keep it bleeding edge"...which frankly, isn't good business for Paragon, 'cause that is NOT where the majority of PC gamers are.
I'm hoping my vid card can support most of the innovations, but we'll see. I may yet need to upgrade. -

And that's where my Disbelief-O-Meter starts going off.
There are a number of heroes that don't care about such things as Civil Liabilities (...or Liberties...) in the face of Right, Truth, and so forth. At LEAST one such hero would keen on to Crey. At LEAST one such hero would spill the beans, upset the applecart, and trigger a landslide.
Maybe not Superman, f'instance. But Batman. Or, god help us, Lobo.
But the world of City of Heroes (and that's part of the fun of an MMO, the ongoing world) should eventually reflect this / these changes. And maybe periodically, new content along these lines. Instead of an alternate dimension. Just, you know. Progress. At home.
IMHO, I think, in my opinion, Contents under pressure, No warrantee expressed or implied, offer void where prohibited.
Ah, but are any of said people TRUSTWORTHY?
Seriously, who the heck would beleive anythign coming out of Lobo's mouth? Maybe Bats, but he's so cloaked in mystery and danger to the general public that they'd be leery of him, too. A little bit of media pull really can go a long way *coughFoxNewscough* and Crey can always use said pull to make said heor look like a nutjob
Plus, if they DO say it and lack the real proof, the lawyers will likely win and guess what? Then they're bankrupt, in debt to Crey, or somehting along those lines. -
Quote:In this case, poor BaBs would get this *** sued off by Crey's lawyers because, without hard proof, they'd just call it libel or slander, even though it's the TRUTH.Originally Posted by ThatGuyThere
So, in my head, I see Back Alley Brawler (I strongly suspect there are far more anti-Crey heroes - I choose him because I remember him, 'cuz I'm new, remember) rescuing, say, an orphanage, from the path of a burning something-or-other. And the media runs over to him, to generally bask in his Awesome and broadcast it on the 6:00 news for everyone else to bask a little. And they say, "So, Back Street Brawler, now that you've saved all these innocent people, anything to say for the kids at home?"
...why *doesn't* he say, "Yeah, never, ever, EVER, buy anything from Crey. They're an evil megacorporation trying to rule and / or destroy our planet."
...because, like, that's a media *FRENZY*, right there.
Such is the power of a stable of high-priced lawyers. -

The moral of this thread is: those who Mary Sue should just be given a gentle pat on the head - and then you can return to regularly scheduled programming.
Now if you get Count Logan'd, then my advice is find a thesaurus and beat him at his own game. If you construct a decent sentence using the words alacrity, vociferous and "in situ", he'll generally leave you alone.
Don't sweat him calling you soppy apeth, he does that to everyone, even those clearly worth more than a half penny.
If you're fluent in a foreign langugag,e that's not a bad method either. It's happened to me once to ym conspiracy theorist char. As it happens, he was speakign french to someone at the time...so all his thoughts came through in french. Well...french versions what is below:
My response tends to be along the lines of the 'My Humps' strategy earlier. Except it's Bananaphone instead.
If they pry deeper, they'll get grocery lists, thoughts of if he remembered to set his recorder to tape 24, if it's garbage day, whose turn it is to make dinner, etc. the best defense against observation after all, is sheer mundanity.
If he keeps prying even FURTHER....he gets Rickrolled.
