    Ms. Liberty is the granddaughter of Maiden Justice and the daughter of Miss Liberty. Her first name is Megan, not Jessica. More information about her connection to Statesman will also be found in The Web of Arachnos

    Of course, according to the novel Freedom Phalanx Ms. Liberty's name is, indeed, Jessica; and she is Statesman's granddaughter. Her mother, the original Miss Liberty, is Alexis, daughter of Statesman and Maiden Justice.

    And who do you think is correct? Manticore, the man in charge of CoH story continuity, or an author who's book has already been ridiculed and criticized by every CoH story lover on the boards, hmmm?

    Posi stated on w00t radio that Incarnates will be the next New epic AT.

    Yeah, how many months after I made that statement?

    Gesh, you guys aren't going to make me thread kill this thread again are you?

    A fix for Group Teleport will be coming in I8.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Oh? So you're finally replacing Group Teleport with something useful?

    Pets, for instance, do slightly less damage than Minions, but have greater Hit Points.

    Heck, some pets have more Hit Points then Lts.
  5. Well... what did you all expect from a web site named "Girlz Game Too"?

    War Witch posted?

    I have to check my list, but I think it is one of the things that I have listed that means the end of the world is near.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    WHAT?! How come I didn't get that memo??

    Now that I've posted again, does that mean everything is cool again?

    Nope, but we do get our slice of DOOM (tm) that much faster.

    Wait... does that mean the apocolypse will be a double-ender? Have we seen enough posts to get the cell number for the contact that gives the end of the world?

    I would love to see some objective oriented missions, but I would hate if they did away with Faultline's unique architecture. I have to agree with the earlier poster; I just wish they had placed in some real world physics so on some of the steeper buildings you slid a lil; or had a few windows you could climb in and gain access to the interiors of the buildings.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Faultline is one of the more unique zones from the original game. Perhaps the developers will keep this in mind and re-develop the zone as a series of terraces to keep the spirit of the original zone while allowing it to function as an active city zone.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Agreed! The unique look and feel of the hazard zones are why they are some of my favorites. The last thing I would ever want to see is for the crevasses and the tilted streets to be done away with.

    Really the hazard zones need something in them, zone contacts, missions, and stories like the Hallows and Striga, a reason for street hunting, and some lenience on level limits (the #1 reason I hate hazard zones). Faultline, itself, needs something to fix the near insta death that can happen if you fall down the the cracks into the waiting arms of some CoT though, not to mention the poor superspeeders.

    I should just tag it and a couple other gifs on as Misc items on my emote guide.

    Can you do this with demo playback and have them all doing the cancan in one big show girl row?

    Hmmm... I'll have to makesome improvements then.
  11. I keep telling everyone, the Dev have forbidden the bases to ever be of any real use to anyone. They are time wasters, fluff, and SG destroyers and nothing more.

    While an expose on the Knives would be interesting, as of now, there really isn't much to this group. There are only three types of enemies (one of each rank), and they all have the same powers (with higher ranked ones having additional powers).

    [/ QUOTE ]
    By powers, you mean caltrops right? Lots and lots of caltrops. The defining feature of these fems are their tendancy to stack a bazillion caltrop patches on you. If they have any other power, I can't see it throught the haze of red 2's or 3's that fill up the screen

    [/ QUOTE ]

    They aren't that bad! (Don't want to imagine how many I'd have it I had team mates at the time!)

    To play a specific boombox song, just add the song's title (found on the Quickchat menu) to the emote. For example, /em bbrave to play the "rave" song. Be sure not to put a space between "bb" and the song title.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Yep! Just didn't include them since they all look the same. Maybe I'll record the songs some day and put them up... but don't count on it.

    In case it went over your head, Shadow Queen's mask IS Vanessa De Vore's mask. We can only assume in the 15 or so years between the book and the Rikti War Azuria lost it and it found it's way back to Italy to be found by Vanessa.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Although it seems like that, I don't remember anything stating that it was the case.

    In either case, the presence of the mask really annoyed me. If it was the same mask Vanessa has, then it mucks up the backstory a heck of alot. And even if it isn't the same mask, it destroys the freshness of the Carnies and plops Vanessa into the same old returning villain catagory.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    C'mon, it talks about visions of 17th century carnival figures in Italy. They did everything but use Scaldi's name.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    And the Carnies only have one such mask? I think you need to go look up the Carnies in game.

    The backstory gods have been largely ambiguous about who (if anyone) Ms. Liberty's father is - all that's been said about him is that we wouldn't believe it if/when his identity was revealed.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Personally, that sounds to me like her father was/is possibly a villain of some kind. Would be a typical comic book mythos twist.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Well, let's not forget Manticore's last offical words on the subject:

    "I am not ready to reveal the identity of Ms. Liberty's father just yet but I can assure you it will be shocking!" (HoC chat)

    Psyche had to be in the book because she's in the Freedom Phalanx, but her powers would have pooched the plot so she had to be sidelined. Arguable Laws could have used a different plot, but he didn't.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Blah, blah, blah! There are still hundreds of ways to keep on the sidelines without demoting her to some pathetic bondage fantasy.
  18. Yeah, this one.

    It was there before, but when I went to add Ghost Widow in I accidently used a older version of the page, so a bunch of them got dropped off.

    Thanks for catching that it was still missing though.

    We did complete the bank robbery with only two or three minutes to spare, but where unable to complete the jail side mission with those scant few minutes remaining.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Mantid.. We didn't even have time to GET the side mission much less complete it.

    You only get a side mission if you defeat zone related villians. Atlas park only has one side mission, and you need to find and defeat a small group of skulls to get it. When you defeat them you get a key for a mission in that zone.. or a clue. I think the side mission is randomly generated. It isn't always a jail break. My Atlas park mission was an arson.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    *Shurg*

    We still didn't complete it, now did we?

    I don't know.. maybe not even having the time to start it is even worse!

    Edit: I had thought you had mentioned we has the Jail mission during the mission. Eh... oh well, wouldn't be the first time I misunderstood what you ment.
  21. [ QUOTE ]
    mayhem missions are really much easier to solo than they are to group, especially if you're playing an MM or a brute. when i did them on test, i initially did them in a rush because i was worried about time constraints. however, the more i did them and became used to them, the more i slowed down and became less worried about running out of time before robbing the bank.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    WEll granted I was in a full 8 man team. We revieved several tiem bonuses for defeating cops, but not a since bonus for destroying objects. We did complete the bank robbery with only two or three minutes to spare, but where unable to complete the jail side mission with those scant few minutes remaining.
  22. [ QUOTE ]
    Though that wasn't my intent when I made the thread, I have to agree with Miss Kitty's general statement - there's too much rushing around in those missions. I don't mind timed missions, and I don't mind perpetuating timed missions as we do in mayhem missions. But I also don't like to rush, especially since Stone Armour doesn't yield itself to rushing.

    [/ QUOTE ]

    Having just run my first Mayhem Mission, I certainly have to agree with you an Miss_Kitty. I was expecting to have fun in it, but it ended up just being a rush to get things done. Yeah, I smashed a few things along the way, but there really wasn't much behind it other then "OMG we need more time!"
  23. Just a heads up. Issue 7 seems to have removed the "custom icon"ed macros from some characters. They can still be created and used as outlined above, you'll just have to recreate any old ones if you happen to have lost them.

    me thinks Mantid needs someone else to worship aside from Miss Kitty. He seem to have too much time on his hands.

    No... she just needs to start paying more attention to me!
  25. Oh, right. Those I have randomized... so they get a random one when they click it.

    Now I am missin the specific Boom Box song emote commands...

    Haven't heard any complaints about it yet though!
