Well.... I live in Maine... which is trapped between Boston and Canada...
Still... I AM an American so I guess I should cheer for the Bruins...
On the other hand... I've always loved a solid underdog story....
Wait a second here...
I don't even like hockey!
Bah to your clever Canadian hypnotism techniques!
"These are not the athletes you are cheering for."

I still intend to swap to a sleeveless dress and use the Witch gloves when that becomes available, however.
"Feeds on human emotion," does she? Well, if she routinely switches from human form to that in front of folks, she should have a Great Big Helping of "AAAAAAAAAAAAH, HOLY CRAP WHAT IS THAT?!?" whenever she wants it!

I present the diabolical Professor Infernal, whose battle cry is "FOOLS! I'll show you ALL!"
"FOOLS!" is a classic line, so it fits well with a classic villain!
What wonderful motivation!Quote:Recently decanted from decades in his Presevator Chamber, he's quite angry with the fact that no one remembers him at all. Well, he's going to make them remember him, yes he will...
Then again, there is a REASON they don't remember him...
they're FOOLS, you know??

WW: Is the terrible writing necessary?
Posi: YES.
For crying out loud, why IS the writing so bad? The rationale behind everything seems to be having most everyone who plays just agreeing to ignore it. The sentient, insane, all-powerful Well and its schemes just keep getting weirder and weirder.
It is not as though Troy Hickman is A) not known to the Devs or B) not available to make this a pleasant experience. And it would make his probation officer SO HAPPY for him to have more work!

There's actually a reason the CoX version has an e at the end; this product predates GR by quite a bit.
Yeah, like that extra E will save you from the hammer! Enjoy your rename token, Cole!

Quote:Can you alternate between them, then?Originally Posted by Ukaserex
Well, I think it's ridiculous to even have a timer on these boost travel powers. If I'd known Steampunk was going to be the same thing as the GvsE temp, only a different animation, I'd have saved my money. Again, I realize I'm stupid for not coming to the forums first.
You can really move along with the GvE JumpPack using Hover. If the timer becomes 30 seconds cooldown for both, then you could alternate between the two and pretty much fly right along.
Naturally, it is highly dubious this will work out like that.

Quote:And a vast improvement over the originals, I must say. That Shakespeare was sooooooooooooo depressing. How much more cheerful when Romeo and Juliet live, get married and have kids named Bart, Lisa and Maggie!

Are you not aware that many theater groups rewrite play to put their own take on them?
I was a bit taken aback when the French won at Agincourt in Henry V, but hey, All Is Fair In Art, hey?

Mlle A., I think the only heroes who have not stood in vain at the exit Waiting For The Train have been those that were warned about it, in person or on the forums, by one of The Train's Many Victims.Oh my. You certainly went Above And Beyond The Call Of Duty there. Fortunately, all the folks I tutored asked, "What's the deal with the blue hand?" (My initial story about the Smurf with a hook who showed up to look for it was scoffed at) and they did not have the same fate befall them.Quote:Originally Posted by Arcanaville
I was standing at the entrance, not the exit. And I was throwing myself at the train, trying to time it for when the doors opened.
In light of all of these great stories, we should have one of these to honor our well-intended but callow selves:

The train is my canonical noob glitch as well...The sad part is that I specifically recall being there long enough for several other players to come and go, probably all wondering just why the heck was someone in the train station basically trying to molest the train doors.

Quote:My Ice/FF, who was my first Controller, was built to team all the way, and usually I could get on a team as I was very diligent about double-bubbling, etc.Originally Posted by Oedipus_Tex
Later on the Ice character got trapped in a holding cell and had to log out of the game because he couldn't do enough damage to break out.
But one day, nada. So I solo a mission and realize that between Block of Ice and Brawl, I have no other offense whatsoever (this being i3, Back In The Day.)
I think Clint Eastwood dug out of Alcatraz faster than I finished that mission. It was agonizingly slow.
The only Good News was that when I hit 32, I could squeeze out 3 Jack Frosts to help me pretty much full time. Then four days later, ED struck and Need I Say More?
Yeah, I later took the Fire Epic Pool so fast folks got whiplash. Thank Heaven, I finally had damage.
PS I will skip the bit about how easy young heroes have it; whenever i3 or earlier is mentioned, that pretty much is a given, right?

Heh, what a coincidence. That's almost the same as the story behind my main villain.

I would have difficulty with anything other than "Astoria Goes Dark, Heroes Restore It, 50 Years Later Rikti Invade, Restored Astoria Goes Dark Again."
After one bout of Darkness that the heroes dispel, folks might venture back if they had ties to the area and it had not been dark TOO long. After a decade or two of peace, the Darkness would be viewed as a one-time run of bad luck, like a natural disaster, and there would be no impediment to living there with it gone. Consider that in our present state of affairs in DA, even once the Darkness is dispelled again, very few folks will likely ever venture back to a place that went dark, came out, then went dark again and featured a festive massacre of the inhabitants. I know I wouldn't!
If the zone had gone dark several times in the history of the city, my take is that hardly anyone would have been living there at the time of the Rikti invasion.
The only possibility is if Astoria was completely inhabited in 2002 by graduates of Buffy's high school. (Why on God's Green Earth anyone other than Buffy would ever return to a school that had regular vampire sightings and attacks is beyond me.) So if the zone is populated solely with Buffy Alumni, then I guess multiple darknesses are possible. Otherwise, it is just too contrary to human nature for me.

First off, I am yet another Waiting For The Train Club member. With that out of the way...
CoH is the only MMO I have ever played. I knew folks, however, who played Ultima Online, and heard about how players were pickpocketed and otherwise stolen from. So on my second day or so, I was ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED when a "Someone wants to trade with you" window popped up. I tried to run, but they ran after me and persisted, hollering at me to agree. I finally figured I should take a chance and agree. I utterly panicked when the trading window opened up. I had no idea what they were trying to do. Alas for the good-hearted hero trying to show this Newbie some kindness! Eventually I got it right. As a result, I explain to Newbies how all that works when I am laying some funds on them.
And about a week into my career, I was standing in Atlas when BING! a lvl 44 Range SO popped into my tray. I looked at it. Man, that did a LOT of enhancement, especially compared to my pitiful Training enhancements. And Lvl 44s had to be REALLY expensive. My unknown benefactor had really given me something that would be very useful!
So I held on to it.
For 15 levels.
And then I figured out that I was supposed to have SOLD it and used the funds to bankroll my starving hero.
As a result, I always give lowbies pure Inf. (There was no way I could have gotten to an Atlas store alive to sell my treasure back in the day, even if I HAD figured it out.)
There were many other silly things, and my thanks to those that took the time to 'splain things to me Back in the Day.
