    Who Will Die?

    This arc has really gotten better as I've gone so far. I felt like the starting mission was a bit weak, but man the villain stuff just gets better. The entire Sister Psyche stuff is just awesome. The throwback to the Dirge of Chaos artifact was a nice touch, but man Johnny Sonata is a horrible song writer, the song didn't even attempt to rhyme. I've also had a another thought that makes me all the more sure that Statesman is going to die. We're going to kill Tyrant, the Praetoria stiff is coming to an end and it would be symbolic if after the defeat of Tyrant that his good counterpart would also fall. Or they could just be leading all of this to one big tease and kill someone else off at the last second.
  2. NPC world is the most frightening of all. Your powers are worthless against them! They can push you around with ease. Truly we can only hope they never gain the technology to make it to Primal Earth or we'd all be doomed.
  3. Plenty of those worlds were peaceful until you show up. Were the Paragon Protectors doing anything bad before you show up and beat them up? Now yes, they did kill every other thing in the world, but they were still peaceful after that.

    It was an early video, and I can't find the exact one I saw now, but I've seen some more recent ones now and wow, that set is looking fun now. I do believe I've sold on it totally now.
  6. Just curious on who's looking forward to Titan Weapons when they go live? I never got a chance to try them on Beta, so anyone out there that tried it out and just didn't like it? I've been watching it and one possible complaint I'd have is the attacks don't look like they connect. Saw one vid where someone was beating the snot out of some Council and they barely flinched. I don't want to buy a giant rocket hammer that doesn't feel like a giant rocket hammer when I hit stuff with it.

    Well in all fairness, things have been trending towards pretinting, and we have to foresee doom to make sure things aren't too far along later to make any changes to it. Besides I need to make sure these helmets are awesome, so I can swap costumes and wear Recluse's helm when I stroll up to him at the end of the Destined One story arcs. Can we get a special dented/damaged version of it, so it'll look more authentic when I show Recluse who's boss?
  8. That contact is in St. Martial by the Giza pyramid. Her name escapes me, but she is there now. Maybe Contact 5 will be there?
  9. A place where we can run normal story arcs with small teams instead of waiting for a full league to form up? I'm all for that. Sure the trials may get you more rewards in one go, but the time it takes to get them going sometimes will make it a less efficient way then just going somewhere and kicking stuff. Hell if they ever get the copy tool fixed I can't wait to send an incarnate over to the Beta to be ready to try this out.

    The incentive for Heroes to help people is helping people
    Spider-Man's incentive to help people was guilt over his Uncle Ben's death. Batman's incentive was vengeance and to overcome his feelings of helplessness at the time of his Parents' death. Superman knows that if he acted anyway beside altruistic he would be utterly ostracized by the only place he has to call home. Helping people is normally just a side effect of Heroes dealing with their own issues. The biggest difference between a Hero and Villain backstory is typically something guilting the hero into being good. It's the reason people accept that someone would put their lives aside to help others. Now I know I'll never change your opinion on this matter, but you really only take the most shallow interpretation of things. We look up to a hero not because of the feats he preforms but the things he sacrifices to preform them. Hell, City of Heroes has proven anyone can save the day, and that doesn't make them a hero. It's what people give up that makes them a hero and no one gives up everything without a good reason to.
  11. No, you're right, choice is the real issue.

    The issue there is I don't think everyone sees those two things as mutually exclusive. It really feels like people don't think both of those things can happen at the same time. Now that may just be because the dissenters are more outspoken. It's like with the Mercy content, people complained that you're were too villainous even though it gave Rogue options in all the dialogue I saw. It seems like the second a villainous option appears in anything people attack it.
  12. Villains will always get the short end of the stick in terms of the co-op stuff. What's made that fact so much worse is the awesome villain story lines we've gotten like Dean, Vincent, the tips missions, and the Mercy content now. They've shown us that they can really make us feel like villains if they put their minds to it. I'd be willing to bet that any villain Incarnate paths stories will probably rock, but the trials and everything else will always be the put aside everything about yourself and do something out of character. It's just never the Heroes that have to do it.

    Miss Liberty had retired from Super heroing and gave over the source of her powers to Ms. Liberty. The names with them confused me for a while too. We killed his daughter who had no powers at the time because her powers come from a magic girdle that she gave to her daughter, Statesman's granddaughter. So the Miss Liberty we killed isn't the one who trains in Atlas, that's his granddaughter.

    Summer Event

    Well that's awesome. Didn't think I was clever enough to have been the first one to think of something like that. I thought of something for it, a summer event should definitely involve fireworks! Well I suppose it's a matter of waiting and hoping they find time.

    Who Will Die?

    I was curious of everyone's opinion of the Signature Story arcs so far. When I ran the first one I had a bit of a groan at the fact that it's a "steal the hero's powers" story. After all the great stories from the new content, to go back to such a basic superhero plot like that really disappointed me, but it got me thinking on who is going to die, and I think it will be Statesman. We know there is one more obelisk in play and a hero is going to die, but which hero would you have to take their powers away to kill them, Statesman. The majority of the Phalanx are human and powers or no can be killed. Aside from the one who is already dead, and the robot. Now Sister Psyche may be one that would have to be rendered powerless to stop her from mind riding away, but these obelisks were made to take power from the gods themselves, and why would you settle on any powers but the cream of the crop? Now, I know Statesman is the face of the game, but his death would make the perfect starting point for something else, The Coming Storm. What else would trigger a catastrophic world ending event resulting in our characters stepping up to god-like incarnate powers than the death of one of the greatest heroes of Primal Earth? Now of course I know there is the more likely possibility that Citadel will "die" and just be replaced, or even if some title character goes they might just get replaced by some other world doppleganger, but I'm trusting the story crew to give us something awesome like they did in the other new content. For now, anway.

    Summer Event

    With the Halloween event in full swing and the Winter Event right around the corner, I noticed that we're missing a season, Summer. We have Spring, Fall and Winter, but no summer event. Has this ever been suggested? Have a summer themed event. With the LFG tab we could have a special event where we save a beach from some attack. We have Lusca just bobbing about in Independence Port, why not let let her loose on some unsuspecting beach goers? Outside of the that though I'm stalling on what would be the outside event for it. Halloween has ToTing, Winter has Presents, and the Ski Chalet. Not sure what would be good for Summer. Maybe an extra-dimensional beach area accessed through Pocket D? Have a seashell collection salvage for trading in for Summer emotes like beach ball, or a surfing slide prestige sprint? Anyone else have any thoughts of what would make a good event or missions for a Summer event?
  17. Anyone want to bet that the trolls are going to have a field day talking crap about a dead man they never knew?
  18. I can see everything fine. It looks like the Beta server's fixed version to me now. I was even able to sit there on there without crashing and didn't have to do the trick to log back in. So for me it's fixed as far as I can tell.
  19. You Sir/Madam are a wizard! I can only hope you use your powers for good! Or Evil I don't really care. Worked like a charm, thank you kindly.
  20. Yeah Victory is mess up too. My Bane may as well have been standing there twirling his mace for all the good I was doing that run. Could barely move, could barely attack, if not for a pet heavy league we probably would have never made it out of the escape phase. Lambda is having some issues, the temp travel powers were blinking on and off. Was flying with my pack one second and falling the next.
  21. Sounds really cool, isn't there plans to make a booster for all origins, Tech, Magic, Science and so on? I would love a Science booster.

    Sexy death

    lol, dirty thoughts abound. I can't talk, after getting fed up saving Fusionette for the billionth time I ended up making this screen shot.

    Fusion Says thank you

    Never Understood why she didn't just get beat and use her medicom teleporter.
