  1. That's scary Troy...

    Do you have some magical pants that alert you when your name is invoked? Or do you just search for yourself?
    Maybe it's even more supernatural and it operates on the Candy Man principal. Forcing your appearance reagardless of your own desire.


    Anyways, yes this show has lots of promise. More than the new season of Glee in my opinion. At least so far. I hate when shows go into a sophmore season by forgetting key elements the characters already learned...
  2. On a few of my toons the windows are all messed up. Either the top or bottom has been 'snipped' making it look like something took a bite out of every window. Not game breaking but odd all the same.

    I've only noticed it on 2 toons, all others have no graphics issues.
  3. I want now please!!

    I'm weird about wearing shoes. I only take my shoes off for 4 things, and they all start with S.
    Not only that, I've gotta have them laced tight as can be all the time.
    So, I'm tying my shoes a good 4 or 5 times a day, just to re-tighten them.

    If I could get these and they actually stay as tight as the first time I tie them for the whole day I'd be ecstatic!
  4. And it lives!! Thanks Mod12.

    I love seeing the creativity of this community. So many amazing outfits and bios.

    I came here looking for inspiration on my newest concept.
  5. Not just the mom and daughter. They all got wish fullfilment.

    The Dad: Feared he wasn't strong enough to keep his family together. That he wasn't tough enough to protect them during the crash.

    The Mom: Felt like she was always having to run to keep up with everyone else.

    The Daughter: More than anything she wanted to know what her boyfriend was thinking. Was he going to leave her if she didn't put out.

    The Son: Just wanted to fit in. To prove he wasn't a moron like everyone thinks.
    So really they all got wish fulfillment powers.

    Now to the only thing that puzzles me, as I've already set the season pass for it.

    Did anyone catch the names? Are we going to be calling them mom and dad and sis for the series?

    Also: So happy to see Conrad from weeds as Dad's confidant!

    DBZ Abridged 18

    Man I needed that smile! Thanks.

    Still laughing at the "Now I know what it feels like to be Krillin."
    "Yeah, sucks don't it" Lines.
  7. Staff sets have been one of the most requested sets since the game launched. Personally I would love to have a bo staff scrapper.

    Capoeira is near and dear to me. I've trained in it for years. Even got most of the acrobatics down. Though to be honest the no handed cartwheel nearly broke my neck a few times. So I've stopped doing the really flashy stuff. My forum name is in part based off being a Mestre or Master.

    Nowadays I mainly use the Ginga to build up momentum for powerful kicks... anyways I'm going off topic here.

    Yes, when I saw what they could do with Kinetic Melee I really hoped to one day see that kind of fluidity carried over into a Capoeira style set.
    It would be visually stunning and would give streetfighter types another set to choose from.
  8. Yeah, I skipped Howling at 1st because I was playing solo. That particular MM never teamed from 1-50 for concept reasons. So I skipped howling since the rez wouldn't work on my pets.

    Then I was clued in around level 35, as I came to the boards and discovered my error.
    I quickly vetspecced into it and OH WOW.

    I can't imagine his build without it now!

    Except the aren't. They aren't saying anything. They would appear to be nothing more than Announcers now. Even PM's are being ignored. Allowing the continuation of numerous problem threads while simultaneously locking productive community building ones. This is what irks me.

    I couldn't care less about the Party pack fiasco at this point.
    I couldn't care less about the Culture change drama at this point, though it has all but killed the sub-forums.
    I couldn't care less about the randomness of rules enforcement. If I could just get some clarification from ONE of them. Any of them.
    This increasing trend of our community reps actively hurting the community is quickly making me want to wash my hands with this entire forum. A community I've grown to admire and looked forward to growing with the launch of GR...

    Bueller??
    Bueller?


    EDIT: To add from Bionics comment. The French forums did get that exact statement from a redname, apparently we didn't get the same consideration.
  10. I play my Necro/Dark as an ambusher.

    I'll set my cadre of cannibals in a corner and then run out and use Darkest Night to pull. I'll then run back to my minions and right as the mass of the group rounds the corner I'll lay down the patch and hit Howling.
    A quick Fearsome stare keeps everything locked down while my guys chew em up quick. Rinse and repeat.

    With AV's I usually adopt a more aggrssive posture, using tankermind skills to distract and whatnot. Occasionally I'll sacrifice Dark Servant to soak up an alpha, but that's rare.
  11. Respites and Aid Other. Or Triage Beacon if it's a stationary fight.

    The joke is, if you reduced scrapper HP by that amount then the highest HP would be
    1337

    Or in other words. Leet speak nonsense.
  13. My Necro/Dark is bar none the strongest AT I have. Considering I have 3 servers full and multiples of every AT thats saying something.

    I've got a Ninja/Thermal that is struggling at 22 right now. Just trying to fine tune the diff. settings after leaving Praetoria. But from what I can tell so far he is much weaker at this level than the /Dark was.

    Maybe it's the Ninja vs Necro that makes it seem this way but the utility in /Dark is far superior to the shields and heals in Thermal at this level.

    Now, once I get a bit higher and can play around with Melt Armor and Forge, that opinion might change. But as far as ease of levelling goes I'd have to hand it to /Dark any day of the week.
  14. This thread just became so much Epic with all the slick references of geekdom.

    That kid is BACK on the escalator again!

  15. Yes!

    I love Pandora.

    I lucked into finding it days after it launched, it's been bookmarked ever since.
  16. “Hello, ladies, look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me.
    Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he was exposed to radioactive waste and genetic testing, he could be like me.
    Look down, back up, where are you? You’re flying through the air with the man your man could be like.
    What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s a magic oyster with two tickets to that AE arc you love.
    Look again, the tickets are now for Double XP.
    Anything is possible when your man wears tights instead of pants. I'm doing emotes."

    Npc's...

    I didn't think we'd complain about power customization either but you'd have thought it was the second coming of ED for some.

    I felt so bad for Positron at that time. Here he is giving us something we've wanted since launch and all we could do was moan about not being able to have blasts coming from our chests and whatnot. Same thing with AE. We just kinda slapped them in the face with that one.

    I still think that led to his saying F this and passing the lead position off.

    Personally, I'd never complain about the city getting more lively. Hence my earlier post about all the funny little things. I don't really think we'd have that kind of myth spread again, was merely adding it for flavor.

    The only reason I said I'd prefer new sets and arcs is because they have more 'bang for the buck' as it were.
    Spending 3 months overhauling the city and adding interactive NPC's and such would be a great QoL addition. Would probably keep a few subs longer than they would've otherwise too.

    Spending 3 months on a much requested new set or zone (like the oft suggested, never happening Moon Zone) would keep subs as well as bring in new ones. If only for a month or so.

    Now if we could get both I'd be even more stoked. But since the resources would dictate one over the other...


    It's all just a matter of perspective though.

    Why scrappers?

    Frenzy is a new temp power you get for running alignment missions.
    Check out Paragonwiki.com for all the new temps.

    As for the OP's question, I think
    This thread
    sums it up best.

    Npc's...

    Until the return of the Palladin fiasco that is.

    Back in the day the myth was, if you camped out any of the construction spots in Kings, that he would never spawn. Which was bogus.

    But it didn't stop the bickering in broadcast whenever someone would notice campers.
  20. Thanks to a great Satelite radio station called Octane I've recently discovered quite a few new bands that kick it like old school.

    Avenged Sevenfold - I initially didn't like them.... Then I heard Nightmare at full volume! It's my current favorite song.

    ANew Revolution has some choice stuff, Head against the wall and Done most notably.

    Five Finger Death Punch - Never Enough
    This song makes me want a tattoo for some reason...

    Clutch - 100011 Robot Hive Exodus Not your typical metal but it still rocks!

    Npc's...

    I just wonder what happened to all the buses. I mean, we have tons of bus stops but I haven't seen a bus ever.

    Then you start to notice that apparently the entire population of Paragon and the Rogue Isles are sterile. As there are only 1 or 2 kids in the entire City and no schools below college level.

    Then you might look up at that wonderful blimp floating high above Atlas and ask yourself, "Where does that thing land?"

    One of the more interesting things about Paragon City is the fact that it has disbanded the Fire Dept. and sold all the fire trucks and hoses in favor of having one Chief and asking any Hero in the area to use an extinguisher... Those Warwalls weren't cheap you know.

    Another might mention the fact that, unless you want to go out to eat your just gonna starve, as Supermarkets are forbidden by Positron. Unless you like GNC products that is.

    Another may note that, Heroes aren't really even needed in the City. Since even little old ladies have enough super strength to hold onto a purse for literal hours while it's yanked on by a super strong troll. Not to mention the fact that every citizen is strong enough to push super-powered people out of the way like tissue paper, yet no matter how much power you have, you can't move them an inch.


    Yeah, NPC's getting in an out of cars and such would be a nice little touch but I'd rather the time be spent on new powers and new arcs and new zones and ad infinium.

    Pets Autolevel

    The change to pet upgrades to be AOE instead of ST was an EPIC QoL change!

    It never bothered me before, buffing each pet individually. But after the change I realized just what a pita it was.
  23. Wow. I have no clue what you guys are talking about. I must've missed a patch note or something.

    I haven't noticed any change in mob behavior at all. Granted I've been playing in Prae mostly since it launched and haven't touched any of my Primals. Run the Nance arc blueside with 2 Praetorians so far.

    I haven't noticed anything new in the mobs behavior.
    Then again it might be the AT's I'm running. MM's, Blasters and Brutes mainly.
    I usually mow everything down before it has a chance to notice I'm there.


    Is this more noticeable at higher levels? If so I might have to log some in and see this new mechanism in action because frankly it sounds ridiculous.
