  1. I'd just like to know what drugs those old ladies are taking to be able to hold on to their purse, not to mention what kind of Wunda-Fabric its made of...

    I tell ya, these 'citizens' seem to put up a better fight than some of my 'heroes'!


    As an aside, will Paragon city ever be safe enough to allow all the children outta hiding? Penny must be really lonely.


    OP, I wouldn't mind having the NPC's interact with the enviroment more, though I don't really think it'd be a good idea to make shops unavailable due to enemy incursion. What would happen if you were standing in one of those shops staring at the enhancement screen? Not to mention the ones that go /AFK in stores.

    Bye guys

    This saved my GF a ton of cash, by not buying all those expensive textbooks she'll never use after this semester! Rent them instead!

    Bye guys

    Good luck at college! Always sad when a Hero turns in their cape but at least this is for a good cause.

    Hurry back now, ya hear!
  4. I cast my vote for either;

    A. Restore it to the way it was

    B. Give us a page that combines them so those that want to can still read them (without the tedious click on every post deal)

    C. Remove it entirely.

    I too, enjoyed signing on and seeing a new comment. Be it bad/good, Silly or profane. Now I won't know that I've even gotten anything, without searching out one of my posts and looking at the bubble.
  5. Just imagine the influx of subscribers we'd get if a movie was ever made.
    I seriously doubt it'll ever see the light of day but you never know when it comes to Hollywood.


    I can only imagine what Atlas would look like once the buzz machine started up for COH: The movie.
    Not so sure it'd be a good thing either...
  6. I'd like to chime in and mention that
    Fire/Ice was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had playing blasters.
    Not to mention he was the fastest to 50 for me.

    The firepower combined with Ice Patch and Shiver is amazing.
    After 1 application of Shiver not even bosses could make it to me before going down! I actually prefer it to Power Push for mitigation.
    Not to mention that with Ice Patch the previously situational Rain of Fire gets lots more use!

    Personally, the only secondary I'd avoid on a fire blaster would be Devices.

    My Fire/Ice is the only toon I've taken to 50 without melee attacks! Ice is that good at keeping them at bay.
  7. If I remember correctly its not on the crystal, talk to the warshade looking guy in the corner of Ouro.

    Edit: Just checked the wiki, it looks like its a mission given out by Sunstorm to Kheldians.
  8. I generally use music to soothe my soul as well.
    I often find I can only listen to certain types/genres of music when I'm in the right mood.

    Heres a fairly new song that always puts a smile on my face, it's just feel good music with a nice techno beat.

    Love the video too.

    Owl City - Fireflies

    Also, this one's more blues than jazz but still a good one.

    One thing that always bothered me with that. I can understand someone like The Flash or Aquaman having a hard time swaying the public opinion.
    But Superman, thats another story. The people have such a trust in him, his persona in general that, if he were to come on CNN and state that he has had numerous tangles with Lex, that his corporation is diabolical and evil, but Luthor is so good at hiding the evidence.
    Well, I can see the people demanding for investigations. For that matter, why doesn't Supes just head to Starlabs or radioshack even, set himself up with a hidden camera and then go get Lex to monologue for a while?

    Airing that might start to unravel the web of lies.

    Yeah, Crey getting away with everything they do has bothered me. You'd think Synapse of all Heroes would have a personal vendetta against them.
    Still, I think it's a needed enemy group within the structure of the game. I'd just like a little more explanation on how they get away with it. Maybe some form of mind control on a massive level. Perhaps Crey comercials all have subliminal messages.
  10. "Guys, I'm afraid my redbox isn't working right. I can't seem to find the 'E' or 'i' keys, all I have is a few letters and some numbers. Where's the rest of the kit?"

    Whadaya mean I have to use leet speak, whats that? Is there some kind of manual or something?

    ***gets handed L337 101***

    "Yeah, that'll work! Just don't expect much communication from me, busy building that top secret device for you know who."
  11. I've got a Sgt. Elemental who was in charge of a platoon of soldiers during the 1st Rikti war, he was rebuilt bionic man style.

    I've got a Sgt. Toxic who was with the PPD, before his 'accident'.

    I kinda just used sargeant because I like the abbreviated look.
    Now I'm kinda curious what the differences are between military ranks and police ranks.
  12. With the advent of issue 16 I decided to finally make my football hero.

    His name is Bama Brawler

    His powers are Elec/Elec tinted crimson and white

    His bio states that he used to play for the Alabama Crimson Tide, until his mutation activated. After that he found Tuscaloosa to be to boring and, craving action, he moved to Paragon to fight the good fight.

    He was a running back.
  13. I'll admit that I occasionaly forget that Defiance was changed. I'll be dipping in the red and think here comes that boost....
    Oh wait, nevermind.

    Not that it was ever useful, the new defiance (can we still call it new?) is far superior!
  14. Your coming back for GR though right?


    Right?


    Have fun in you future endeavors if not!
  15. Finally got to complete a banner event this afternoon.

    Tried around 2am in Talos but 1 team of 6, mainly tanks, wasn't even able to make the banners vulnerable.

    This afternoon however, we had no trouble. Started off the same, I'm the only one standing at the green banner, doing my best (on a level 22 blaster) Managed to kill 3 Lts and a handful of minions before hitting the nearby hosp.
    Rinse and repeat.
    After the 3rd death I started thinking, here we go again. I can't do this alone...

    When I got close to the banner again I saw I wasn't. Another team had swarmed it.
    They became vulnerable shortly there after and we all set out to work left to right.

    I must say, it was a blast. Hopping from one banner to the next. Flying overhead with heroes superspeeding below me, one teleporting just infront of me, then vanishing.
    Gave a real feeling of.... urgency. Like we were really saving the world.

    The Aspect(jurrasic in this case) folded like a wet noodle though. I had time to BU and go through one chain before the reward screen popped up!

  16. Ah, that makes sense, I have been ToTing with him pretty much exclusive. Just made me pause when I saw it and realized I was still getting new costumes awarded.

    Glad I didn't bug it.
  17. Lucky you!

    Been playing for years but have yet to encounter a single signature/Dev character in game. Must have been a 'Whoa! Holy Moly!' moment, and thats the best kind.
  18. Something odd just happened.

    I was playing my level 22 Rad/Fire blaster, ToTing away, when I saw the badge earned message.

    I got Ostentatious!

    But wait a sec....

    I only have 27 costumes so far on this guy, he was made less than a month ago so it can't be carry over from last year.

    Are the costume badges awarded account wide or is this a bug?
    If it is a bug should I bother to bug it or would that just clog up the system?

    Pick 1, list 3

    Would you rather have?

    A. Superman's powers for 1 month.

    B. 5 million in cash

    C. Love potion #9 that actually works

    Pick the one you'd choose then list 3 more for the next person.

    Guilty pleasures

    Hmm, guilty pleasure, something I enjoy but wouldn't readily admit?

    It'd have to be the VH1 'Of Love' shows.
    Got hooked with Flavor Flav
    Then came Rock
    Real and Chance

    Something about watching those makes me feel.... dirty, like I'm losing Man Points or something.
    Still, it's like a train wreck you can't look away from.

    Also, So you think you can dance.
    Mia Michaels makes me cry.
  21. I've lived in the deep south my whole life. Odd thing is, my accent isn't that strong.
    Unless I'm singing, then no matter what, my voice always conjurs up the most campy country twang imaginable!

    Even when it's church songs. Heck, I even make White Zombie sound southern...

    besides, black magic, witches and stuff, it's all supernatural.

    MAGIC...

    take care and be safe out there, run from zombies if you're by yourself
    Was just about to ask this myself. I haven't recieved anything but Tech SO's from the 'Supernatural monsters'
    Seriously!? What's a zombie doing with a targetting eye device anyways?


    Not complaining, I love this event, just find it odd.
  23. Yeah, but can you take on U'Kon Gr'ai solo?
