Sadness. BaBs has played a huge role in the development of this game and I'm sorry to learn that he has moved on. Hopefully it was by choice.

Now I'm left to wonder, will someone else take up the avatar of Brawler on the forums and in-game? Or have we lost one of the last remaining phalanx members to actually play? Heck, I still miss Manticore.

As a long time Altoholic I salute you sir!

We have a new anthem indeed.

Jim really does need a disguise of some sort if he continues to be a superhero.

I'm not exactly wanting bright spandex colors or anything, maybe something more along the lines of Bruce Willis' character in Unbreakable.
Just enough of a disguise so Cho wouldn't have recognized his broad shoulders and bald head from 50 ft away. Yet still allows him to walk the streets without looking out of place.


Now I'm even more curious as to the origin of power. I lazily assumed it was just the CEO using them as test subjects in the real world. As others have pointed out though, he doesn't seem to be aware of Jim or anything else for that matter. Maybe he is but a puppet in a bigger picture.
Since it wasn't the water, which was a long shot IMO anyways, the natural assumption would be on the flower. Yet all the workers in her lab were handling the specimen... Wait, were they all wearing gloves in that scene?

Hmmm...

I can't believe nobody has mentioned that she's also a Regen!
Secondary powers ftw.

Don't tease us!

I still don't see why they had to change that. It's not like that paint scheme on a big rig can be trademarked.

From what I hear, that other hero MMO has been delayed until Spring 2011.

After all these years I still look forward to Trick or Treating in Paragon!!

This has always been my favorite event and I'm so glad to hear we're getting new stuff. With all the work done this year for GR and Incarnates I fully expected it to just be the same one from last year.

And I would've been pleased as punch all the same!


Maybe I'll finally complete the clothes badges on most of my main toons.
Nah, probably not.

Very ninja like indeed.
Still I would've preferred if he'd made it easier to tell it wasn't coming from me.
Or better yet actually make a post so most readers don't miss it entirely.

Still, good point Mod08.

Thats all well and good but we aren't talking about the busy as ever Dev's. I'd prefer it if they didn't post when under deadlines and all.

We're talking about Our Community Representatives, the 'too busy with other things' excuse won't fly here because communicating with us is the main part of their jobs...

Killing false rumors is part of their job.

Even commenting on false rumors can strengthen them. Nothing in working directly with people is ever cut and dried. -Mod08

We're all Vets here, the majority of which aren't trolls, have been ardent supporters of the game for years and are only concerned with it's future.
A future that (for the 1st time) doesn't seem so rosy.

I've avoided other MMO's for all these years because I felt confident that NC was giving it's full backing to our IP.
I didn't even glance at CO thanks in part to the feedback I read here and the numerous posts from OCR letting us know the future was all laid out.

Now we've reached that 'Future' and we're looking to make sure that the company support will still be around in 6 months.
All we get is silence though. Which might not mean anything.
Or it could mean the support is being transitioned to a new endeavor.

1. Male

2. Blasters - My 1st creation was a blaster, my learning curve was on a blaster and since then all other AT's pale in comparison. I have great damage but I also have to be constantly aware of my surroundings. Using tactics and skill that other AT's don't have to worry about. It made scrappers and the like so boring for me.

3. Blueside

4. Don't have any favorite Arcs

5. I love anything that has to do with superhero mythos, I like the idea of helping others.

6. Old school SNES/N64 or PS2 games. Only other PC game I play is Black & White 2. (this question might get us in trouble btw)

7. Since April of 2005 with one 6 month break due to money issues.

8. 3 1/2 servers full and counting, 16-20, I have only 1 50, my original creation. Another has sat at 49 for 2 years.

9. No, mostly cause I don't play highlevel often enough. Depends on the AT. Usually +1x1 for most, Masterminds and Brutes get jacked up to +2x3 though.

So I take it the drunken Gameday celebrations caused the villains in Sharks to go nuts and nuke the zone!

ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Um...

You do realize that there is no nudity in Sport Illustrated, Maxim, and any gossip or womens mag featuring workouts for flatter abs for the swimsuit figure, as well as any ad for Dove bodywash or Axe deodorant.


It's just skin.

Nudity is defined as: The state of being without clothing or covering of any kind.

So a NSFW warning would be incouraged. Since some workplaces would frown on bikini' and such, but unless the images are showing nipples and or uncovered crotch shots the disclaimer of Nudity is misleading and will end up getting this thread nuked from orbit before it has a chance.

Just saying you might want to edit the title to save the thread.

EDIT: Just looked at your gallery and I see nothing dangerous there. I do see a lot of great work though! I love the Juggy one.

I'll be here after they shut it down.

I plan on making a small fortune so I can buy the defunct IP and run my own solo server forever!!!

I mean, I've got so many alts there's no physical way I can complete them all.

Oh I forgot, yes /Regen could use something else.

Super Strength as a primary!

I don't anticipate any fix soon. No word from on high, then again word from on high has been... lacking lately.

The scuttlebutt is that they had to break the AI in order for Demons to even be usuable. Since Demons were such a big part of GR they made the choice to do it.

I'd hope it was only a temporary 'fix' and they are hard at work repairing the code but that's just me being optimistic.
We're more than likely stuck with the new behavior.

Lawlz!

That was perfect.

Regin makes it all bettah

I'm still waiting for the sweet remote controlled helicopter Arnold promised us in The 6th Day...

As an aside:

The 'pets now die when dismissed' bug has made a certain power in Necromancy a great deal more useful.

I proposed something like this years back. Granted it was a bit simpler than what you've presented.
I just wanted to add a 5th power to each travel pool

Afterburner - Max flight speed for 2 minutes. (The arguements against this consisted of the ability for everyone to reach the speed cap easily enough with slotting and the fact that it can't be increased past what it's capped at currently due to engine limitations.)

Vertical Speed - Ability to cling to vertical surface while running at SS (Arguements vs this consisted of the fact that it's not possible with this engine.)

Ground Slam - AOE knockback attack (No arguements against this I can recall)

Instant relocation - Click on any point on the map and teleport there for all your endurance, with inability to re-port for 2 minutes.
(this one caused the most debate. Those saying it would be overpowered and or not possible with engine and those saying it could be balanced and achieved with a reworking of mission TP)



With Fitness becomming inherrent, now is the best time for these suggestions! Looks like you gave this a great deal of thought.
Looking forward to the debates now.

It's when anyone that has ever subscribed to the game gets to play again for free.

This is however, the first reactivation weekend that I haven't been able to get any of my friends to even care.

The AI broke with the release of Demons. I've had to stop playing my Bots because it's just so frustrating.

On the flip side, the 'run straight to melee' bug has finally made Ninja's playable for me.

Lose one gain one.

At least my Necro hasn't noticed, as his pets thrive in melee.

We don't want the Dev's attention back on /Regen.
Trust me.

Everytime they look at the set it gets nerfed, not buffed.


Its somewhat of a meme around here.

That said, Regen is a lot more reactive than WP. With Willpower you can turn on your togs and go to town without micro-management.

With Regen you've gotta constantly pay attention to spikes and DP to drop, etc etc.
My Regen scrapper feels far superior to my WP Brute. This could just be my perception though. I just find that WP can get quite boring when I'm just click, click, clicking attacks without fear.
At least with Regen I have to be 'in the zone' to do that.
I like being challenged.

Probably because the playerbase gets utterly and openly disgusted with him being the Big Bad for every holiday event other than Halloween.

I'm afraid just the mere mention of Snaptooth makes players cringe at this point. Could be why he wasn't included.


Or.

Could just be an oversight.

How bad is it that I almost suggested Nurse Joy as a name change?
