What's the end-goal behind badges? Just for bragging rights?

[/ QUOTE ]

No.. it just fulfills the obessiveness of compusive players like me.

[ QUOTE ]
Now that being said, I rolled up my character last night, got him to level 6 and saw someone with the Tutorial badge and went "Doh! I forgot to get it!"

[/ QUOTE ]

And his reputation grows...

Keep this up Posi and you might replace Synaps as the FP member everyone picks on.

Yes.. I was disappointed there were no Rikti Monkeys to be had...

[ QUOTE ]
afterall, they want good/evil to obvious on sight (cause that always works in the movies) in the PvP zones.
'zomg look! a hero you can tell by the bland costume! geddem!'

'lookit 'em skulls on that sucker! It must be a Villian! It's Coming right for us!'
BLAM!

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.. you certainly can't tell by name after all...

Give us the capes at very least!

[ QUOTE ]
Mantid, pick the answer that is most appealing to you and then fantasize it as the truth until release.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oooo... a new defender inherent....

[ QUOTE ]
Once I6 hits test the patches for CoH and CoV will be almost the same so the patch back and forth from test to beta will not take the huge amount of time it does now. It will (supposedly) be much smaller.

[/ QUOTE ]

So would that mean those of us in Beta don't really need to worry about pre-downloading the patch or what?

Welcome to our insanity _Nomad_!

I hope CuppaJo warned you about me... errr.. us....

[ QUOTE ]
You know what's funny? Issue 6 is being pre-downloaded already, and we've barely discussed (whined about) it at all!

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously! I wasn't nearly done whining about Vigilance when they popped ED on us!

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
I wonder how that will be received.

[/ QUOTE ]

With a double helping of d00m, sprinkled liberally with "it will kill the game!"

[/ QUOTE ]

You forgot the "I quit" on top!

Interesting though that it just sprung up! Statesman did say that they were goign ot get ED up sometime this week but I didn't think this is what he ment!

[ QUOTE ]
Nothing fixed here. The problem with Defense and To-hit is still here and very real. It is a shame that we have a give-up instead of a real fix. An opportunity lost.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's the bigger problem perhaps, but not the one this will fix. This just addresses the problem of certain pool powers offering absolutely (or at least next to no) value to certain powersets.

It doesn't really touch the bigger problem at all, it was just making sure that the power pools were effective to all.

As for the bigger problem, it can still be addressed.... will it? Somehow I doubt it will be anytime soon, but this small fix hardly closes the door.

[ QUOTE ]
In my opinion, changed stacking rules would be preferable.
This also has the added side-effect of giving all those powers effective defense against many AoE attacks.

And what about powers such as Steamy Mist and Shadow Fall?

And will Fortitude be given Positional (melee/ranged/AoE) defense to stack with Super Reflexes defenses?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it seems like any power that grants defense to another needs both Postional and Typed defense on it in addition to the pool powers... but that should cover all of it.

[ QUOTE ]
According to the winner, the CCG developers added Blood of the Black Stream to his entry.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well.. I'm guessing that "egyptian villain group" That Statesman "kinda" confirmed was in the works if related, it not the same, as the Blood eh?

Sure.. give me a nice easy link to it two days after I hunt this one down!

[ QUOTE ]
BTW why'd this topic finnally get resurected, no one's really posted in here for months I was about ready to take this off my fav. list till yesterday.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because someone posted a link to it elsewhere...

At any rate, the generational heroes get confusing.. Ms. Liberty and Miss Liberty, Hero 1 and Hero-1...

[ QUOTE ]
Also - after much pushing and shoving - we were told that there will NOT be data mining for TF badges. So if you did a TF before I5 - when I5 goes live you will not get a badge for it auto-magically.

[/ QUOTE ]

*foams at mouth*

[ QUOTE ]
As for the Woodsman...wasn't he Numina's mentor in life, before he died and Numina moved up to the Phalanx and became Infernal's mentor? Or am I dreaming that?

[/ QUOTE ]

Hmmm... I don't think so... Woodsman just cared for threats to nature (Aquaman style!), and Numina was a member of the Midnight Squad. As far as I can tell, Scout is the only sidekick that Woodsman is ever mentioned as having...

[ QUOTE ]
Can I call this Necromancy? I can? Good.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah.. this is why I should stop posting links to old thread and tempting the young to go astray.

Mwaahahaha!

Back Alley Brawler's SK is Blue Steel, the King's Row trainer. Not absolutely sure on that one, though.

[/ QUOTE ] From what I know all the members of Statesman's SG have AV counterparts (Tyrant, Dominatrix, Ect.) and sence Blue Steel has no counterpart he can't be Back Alley Brawler's SK.

[/ QUOTE ]

I still wonder what Woodsman connection is too the Freedom Phalanx. He isn't really mentioned anywheere in relation to the others... anywhere I can find at least...

AASQ #1 is causing all sorts of nasty browser problems so - it must die.

Is it TEOTWAWKI? (The End of the World as We Know IT?)

[/ QUOTE ]

A: For some people it will be.

Q: Did I get first reply?

[/ QUOTE ]

A: No you didn't....

[ QUOTE ]
q) Is this the new AASQ?

[/ QUOTE ]

A: No! We must start with te correct question!

Q: Where are the Lost in Kings Row?

[ QUOTE ]
He said the reason they did it this way is so that people who are around level 20 group can get a base. If influence was used to pay for the base, a level 20 group couldn't pay for it. So they decided to make a new system so that lower level SGs could afford a base.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, it makes sense. Still... there are some screwy things about it.

[ QUOTE ]
I agree with Yin, and if the SG colors thing is really that big of a deal, go into SG Settings, change the colors back to your actual colors and leave the damn mode on. When the time comes that you need ACTUAL SG colors, change the settings again. It's not that difficult people.

[/ QUOTE ]

hmmm... I think we went over that already...

The question I do have, having thought about it, is if prestige is earned just like Influence.... in that oyu have to be actively defeating villians?

I could just stand in SG mode inside a mission all day (or anywhere while on a TF) where there is no Auto-Log out just to earn time based prestige... which really would make the whole idea absolutely ridiculous!

So basicly all this means is that my chest symbol will always be my SG's and I can say good bye to my straps and bandoliers....


[/ QUOTE ]

No, it means you have a bit more of an opportunity to roleplay. Do you wear the gimpy Supergroup colours and add to the fame and prestige of the team or at this time do you feel more like an individual who wants to look cool and dress as you like. Conform and benefit the team or go rogue and look cool.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who said anything about changing colors?

The new comic is set in the past, right? So does that nix any chance of cameos? I hope not; it was a nice prize, even if the odds were pretty long.

[/ QUOTE ]

They have already had one offical contest for cameos in the Top Cow comics, and I've heard that there have already been Player Heroes in the TC comic already...
