Clarification request - do you mean to charge the million for publishing the arc, or for playing it?

Out of curiosity, and strictly to form a point of reference, which enemy group or groups in this game would you consider to be a challenge without being overpowered?

Whatever I said would be pounced upon and torn apart still screaming, not necessarily by you but by others; I would not touch that question with a ten-foot pole. No offense, but not going there.

I can tell you that Malta used to be one of 'em. Not anymore.

[/ QUOTE ]It's cool. It looks like I may have actually skimmed past an answer to the question in the first place, so it didn't really need to be asked.

Whoops. Thought this was set for today. I'm good for the 11th, but now I know not to log in tonight and start asking where everyone's at.

Pretty much anything with Hit Points that was summoned by a power has been in there. Though, it could be considered new if the default for Controllers was switched to 'on'. Haven't checked that yet, though.

That's not that new actually. if you go in the menu you can turn the pet window on for all ATs. Usually helpful for the temp power pets and the like.

I'd hold off on that one until you run Johnny Sonata's arc. There's a bit of interaction between the player and Hardcase that makes the one in Virandi's arc much worse.

I liked that Arc it was one of my favs.

[/ QUOTE ]Oh, the arc itself is great, don't get me wrong. However, there's one line from Hardcase which really gets under my skin, especially considering his actions in the other arc.

Here ya go

Hell, I can't miss one of these. Since Zengief is already called, I'm bringing Balrog!

Aren't the costume contacts, outside of the Facemaker herself, meat Doctors without the gear, though?

So...who is the current voice actor?

Huh, so this is why there's been a sudden jump in Arena announcements?

It was broke for me while it uploaded the patch, but it fixed itself as soon as the application part was done.

I dont get why so many people are bashing this guy just because he wants a server pop limit increase. Or why you're telling him to go play on another server.

The hospitality on the coh forums is so charming now days.

Perhaps you should read the points he's so happily ignoring, like how the cap was put in place for a reason, that the extra hardware, etc. would be useful for only a few days a year and the like.

Or perhaps you should read the "Let me in for more money, hey, kick someone else off so that special ME can get in."

Telling him to play on another server? Well, that's easy - of course, it's also been covered (in the long cut and paste reply, among others.) Read that, as well.

And the attitude he's getting back by now is purely a reflection of that he's brought in.

[/ QUOTE ]To add to this: There's also another, possibly unintended, benefit from the caps as they are. Ever since Freedoms started hitting the Pop locks I've seen folks actually start to dissuade new folks from 'the most populated server'. The lockouts are teh very reasons given, "You could go there, but you risk not being able to play your character at the busiest times."

Even with this, there are still a lot of folks that are running like lemmings to 'the only server that's not dead' and swelling there numbers further. The original post, and all suggestions in that vein, are at best a step and a half from just saying 'merge the servers and move them all to Freedom!' And I think we all know how well those suggestions go over.

Swiped this from a thread about the Super Science pack.

Right, meant the GM.

I've got no pics, but I will say that having the AV spawn on top of the raid party may need some rethinking. Got to see a Hami-esque sea of orange names.

Still rather have a Rikti invasion. Though I think that's when my mom will be in town, so I won't be doing much gaming anyway.

Ah. Yeah, that is a possibility.

Not sure about that. Since the components of the Lost Cure aren't tradable, do they show up on the market?

Well, whenever the previous recipe expansions (purples, PvP, bases, etc.) came out, I saw folks complaining that the current salvage was already stretched thin enough as is, without the new stuff making the demand even higher. As such, I can easily see the devs adding new salvage, specifically for new recipes, so folks can have more options, and they don't have the same 'scarcity' complaints. Of course, I'll leave it to others as to whether this mind set is valid, but it's certainly one way to look at it.

Which one is the new one Sooner?

M I Abrahms: I found Boisterous Bruiser which overs his outward behavior, and I just saw the Stephen Ulysses Perhero one a few minutes ago. That one would be a subversion, though since his SuperHero name (Michael Ian Abrahms) was chosen because he's too damn BIG to have a plausible secret identity. However, the trope I was really looking for was that the Boisterous Bruiser was really just an act, and the character actually has a good grasp of tactics, and a solid intellect, and is plying teh Big is Dumb mentality to catch his foes off guard.

Professor Nutronious: Another easy one; Mad Scientist. He was a relatively mild scientist who specialized in artificial intelligence, who became a bit to attached to his creation, and viewed them as his children. He had two prototypes which he brought to a Science Expo, which was assaulted by Paragon Heroes. The Prototypes were smashed, and the Professor arrested. During Break Out he was promised the chance to build new robots, a chance he lept at. He is now a Zealot servant of Recluse, serving him loyally for the chance to eradicate the Heroes that took his first children from him.

Operative McGavin: I have to say this first, just for clarification: This character was created when the extra damage was added to Sniper Rifle when Targeting Drone was running. I laughed my hind end off when the Villain Epics were announced, and again for Going Rogue. He is an ex-Arachnos Wolf Spider, who decided that Arachnos' principles were sound, but it's current leadership (Recluse) was sorely lacking. Unfortunately, all who find out what he has learned are usually so compromised that they are now willfully following Recluse instead. As such, McGavin has decided that the entire structure needs to be torn down and rebuilt, without the Spider Lord's corrupting influence. In order to attempt this, he has crossed over and now a card carrying Hero, that fights crime in his old uniform.

Thin Line: Again, a few easy ones; Axe Crazy, Chaotic Evil, The Unfettered Honestly, I'm just taking the opportunity to explain this one because I like him. You could easily use any of the crazy/evil tropes to describe him. When I first created him, I realized he was a thematic clone to another player's character from my home server. The character had become known as a fairly popular anti-villain, and was very close to crossing over into Anti-Hero territory, even though said character was a Stalker. So, Thin Line became the Villain For a Villain. Like Bullseye for Deadpool, he exists to show the anti-villain everything that character wants to deny about himself. Along the way the character developed into an amalgam of the Joker, Carnage, Bullseye, and Deadpool himself at least unconsciously. (he can see the fourth wall, but he doesn't realize he can)

I guess I need to spend more time on that site. I keep looking for what I think would fit my characters, but apparently it's under different names or something, because I keep coming up with nothing.
