  1. But Forbin, what do you do if it's at Starfleet academy? Or Earth?
    Who ya gonna call?

    EDIT: Aren't the Borg the zombie equivalent in Trek?
  2. I figured it'd be more like the Redside Arc plays out.

    The 1st tier clones are incomplete or failed copies, resulting in a mix of powers that don't follow the MM's.

    2nd Tier clones could be Replicants with toned down version of the MM's powers (Secondary)

    3rd Tier would be a perfect Clone. Only without the ability to clone. Can't have copies making copies.

    Just how I'd imagine it though.
  3. This thread made me think of This scene.

    That said, I never got the impression that the History Channel show Life after people was in a tone of humans good/nature bad.

    Then again I did just watch it so I could know what to expect a few years into the zombie apocalypse.

    I don't wanna kill all of humanity...
    Just 80% or so.

    I do have a minor question or two.

    Haven't we had parties and heart felt good byes to lighthouse and others? What was different in this case I wonder?



    Regards,
    -C.A.
    Only difference I can tell is Lighthouse was OCR and not a Dev. I was a tad upset that we got stonewalled with the official statement, as I recall having good-byes from Rednames. Then the more I thought about it, I realized that I can only remember for certain hearing about changes and good-byes from OCR and can't recall a single Dev, save Jack being singled out when leaving. Months later we get told that such and such is the new blah blah but...

    Yeah, I think it's because OCR directly relates to the forum users and that's why we get told about Lighthouse, Exlibris, Cuppa and the rest.
    But not for Manticore, BaB's, Recluse etc.

    I could be wrong, this is what I'm going with though.
  6. I figured it's just the 1st one all the Praetorians coming over can run. So they just jump right in.
  7. Yes.

    You've struck Casual MMO paydirt here!

    A huge difference in CoX vs WoW is that over here it's all about the journey to 50. Instead of the mad dash to the cap. Take you time, enjoy the sights, roll up some alts! Not much action PvP wise though. Be on the lookout for Incarnate information, as this is the new endgame coming with the next free issue.

    Paragonwiki.com will be your friend in times of need.
    Cohplanner.com will be your guide once your learning curve is over.


    Not only do we have a very solo/casual friendly game, we also have the absolute best community of any MMO around!

    Happy Hunting Hero!
    Or
    Go.B.Evil.
  8. So...

    Whens the Southern/Gulf M&G?


    Being stuck in the heart of Alabama means I'm flat out of luck when it comes to getting to the coasts. This year.


    Hope it goes well though.
  9. I'm sure it's bugging them more than us as well.

    I'd much rather them protect the company though. Rather than have the lights turned off due to another lawsuit.

    In the long run. I'm positive Chris has seen our words and knows how we feel.
  10. Thats cool, don't pay me back though. Make sure it goes to someone else once your comfortable with everything and its all good!

    Yep our community is why I've been here for 6 years and don't plan on leaving.

    Way back when I 1st started playing, a great guy by the name Temp_Extremes gifted me about 20,000 influence, just cause he liked my costume. This was a great deal back then (long long before we had inventions or a market) I never could've afforded DO's without it!

    Every since then I've enjoyed being on the other end. Since I don't bother with Sets I've got millions to spare.
  11. Welcome to the game!

    Some quick links to help you on your journey.

    paragonwiki.com - This is a wonderful site, updated often, with most everything you could ever want to know.

    Mid's Hero Builder - This is a wonderful tool that allows you to fully plan out your build without being in game.

    Also, I've got a full server on Virtue so I don't play there much at the moment. Currently running Praetorians on Liberty. However I would like to help you with the learning curve. Send me a PM with your @Global address and I'll Glemail you a quick million or so in cash! Just pay it forward down the line.
  12. While it is obvious that the communication with us has recently become a great deal stricter, this might have more to do with legal issues than at 1st appears. For all we know there is some internal conflict and BaB's has requested a hush hush.

    If that is the case then removing Jay's post was 100% understandable.

    Also, the recent slamming in court that NCSoft recieved may be playing a bigger role in why this new policy is being held onto for dear life. It very well could result in the closure of the game we all love, if they had to deal with another one.

    While I wish things could still be as open as they used to be when it comes to Dev coming and going, I respect that there are bigger things at stake here.

    Once I started thinking about it in depth. We've never really been informed formally when a Developer leaves, except for Jack. We are however informed when OCR has a changing of the guard, as they are they ones directly in contact with us.

    Easy, this is comic book land. You added an ecto-plasmic polymer to your webnade.

    To the OP. You owe my workplace a new monitor for that Blinding Powder comment. I shouldn't laugh so hard before swallowing my coffee next time.
  15. No, that would require seeing George in a white moth suit...
    Not a picture I want really.


    Now his wife as American Maid on the other hand.

    Bruce is Back...

    Grrrr....

    I read the title of the thread and got all !! Thinking it was all just a big mistake and BaB's was still with us.

    Then I realized it was about Batman and I sighed .


    You may carry on with your discussion now.
  17. One of the things that I always liked about Lois and Clark: The new adventures of Superman was how Clark didn't go straight from Smallville to Metropolis. He wound up there after having travelled the world writing stories for small papers like the Borneo Gazette.

    This gave Clark a better sense of the world and his place in it. It was Metropolis, and it's large population, that gave him the idea to use a costume to conceal his indentity. As he'd been able to use his powers here and there without much fear of being recognized but the 1st time he uses them in Metropolis he realizes he's being stared at by passer-bys.

    Thus the suit is fasioned by Martha using material from his ship. Mainly his baby blanket.


    That said. Sounds like a horrible plot for a movie. We've been force fed his origin story how many times now? I'd much rather it jump straight in like Captain Foamerang said. Maybe not so far in that they are married but atleast have him established in the city with some meta's to fight.

    I think Paragon was just as caught off guard by this announcement as we are and unfortunately now with the leak they may not be able to say anything because of labor laws.

    Good point, I forget that we only know about this because of a leak. That could change things.

It's a bit silly to leave it behind a confusing wall of corporate speak.
    Correct. In the past we would have gotten a good-bye announcement from either him or the OCR. At the very least we would be informed that a popular Dev is no longer the one to look to. It's obvious that this policy has since been amended to a much stricter 'HR approved only comments'
    type relationship. No clue why, I'm just trying to roll with it.

    Afraid not, thanks though. I ran through it enough times in my head, trying to silence the Brawler part and it finally came to me.
    It's we love you birdie from Bye Bye Birdie.
  21. For some reason, I now have a long long forgotten melody running through my head and I need some help IDing the original.

    In my head it's a song but the words are replaced with

    We love you Brawler... oh yes we do.
    We love you Brawler... your always true.

    When your not with us we're blue
    Oh Brawler we love you.

    Now, what on Earth is that from? I know I didn't make it up as I have a melody to go with it.
  22. *Quietly shuffles legal paperwork into a drawer* Red tape sure is messy aint it.
  23. I still recall the days of limited respecs. When the Dev's weren't even sure they wanted us to have the ability so they created the Trial.

    The only reason we even got respecs for free was changes to powers making certain builds obsolete. Even then they were only handed out once right after the changes went live.

    Slowly this stance changed and once the respec recipe was available it became expected that we would get a free one with each issue.

    Of course, I have so many Vetspecs at this point I stopped paying attention to it long ago.
    I personally don't see the problem in removing the 10 enh cap now. Though this stance might be harder to change than the other.
    With Glemail and the markets and all, it really wouldn't be game breaking as far as I can tell.
