/agrees with this.

Personally, I think it's rather bad that someone wanting to run something this way would have to specifically set something up (much like someone set up what they called a "smell the roses" ... think it was ITF... a while back, since they were tired of everyone speed running it and wanted to actually see what was going on - reading off the contact dialog, etc. into the team channel, etc.)

The power, it's been a creepin' for a while. *shrug* I just wonder if it's becoming a crutch for people, even just looking at IO builds. Half want to challenge people to put out just a decent SO build for something and see what happens.

Kelly Uqua, among others, show there's some flexibility in body form.
See "Traditionalist" vs "Restructurist," or "How we got suckered into fighting a war (and how we learned the truth.)" - aka the RWZ arcs. With the Rikti rift, as well as fairly obvious diplomatic ties, there's quite a bit of story that could be delved into with a Rikti EAT that wouldn't necessarily make sense to do with a normal AT (assumed human.)

Oh? Hmmm.... So how about:

"Without Hitler and the Nazi party's support of the scientists (von Braun, etc.) that developed the V2 and proposed variants, what would spaceflight look like today?"

Or:

"Holocaust and the other atrocities of the Nazis aside, given the funding and advanced designs their aeronautics industry was looking at (see Sanger, among others,) would our place in space and aerospace technology have been farther ahead had WWII not prematurely started? (The Germans were initially expecting a mid-40s start to the war.) What would aerospace tech look like today?"

I can weave them in legitimately.

Fortunately, all the servers have people on them and none of them are ghost towns. Some people, unfortunately, have this idea that if they're not lagging out because of the number of people in a zone, there's nobody there. However, teaming isn't difficult on any of the servers, plus they all have their own 'personality.' Part of the fun is finding one that fits you. (Or more than one - I'm happiest on Pinnacle and Victory, for instance, but have characters everywhere. Can't stand the Freedom server, generally.)

One thing to realize, as well, is this - while other MMOs have a lot going on outside (basically a lot of hunts, kill 30 bats to get 5 bat nose hairs for one person, etc etc) a fair bit of what goes on in COH are instanced missions. Appropriately, much of what happens happens *inside* buildings and warehouses (and caves.) (That, and we have a LOT of zones to spread people out.) This is part of why going with global channels is so handy.

Also, the "Top 100 supergroups" thing is a misnomer. All it lists is the amount of prestige (think "Super group cash") they've accumulated. It tells nothing about the group itself - for all you know, they're doing nothing but farming for that total. (Think of it this way - is a complete jerk with 100 million dollars better than the guy who hangs otu with you, picks you up when your car breaks down and is fun to hang around, but only makes 30k a year? No. Cash - real life or in game - means nothing when looking for good people.) Plus, the registrar is fairly useless - it gives you no information on what the group's about or how to contact anyone, unless the SG leader has deigned to put in (and update!) that information. Which is pretty rare.

A far better way to find a supergroup is simply to team, frankly. Find people you have fun playing with, and join them. That way you get to know about them, and they get to know you - you get to see if the group's a good fit for you or not before hand. Alternately, head down to your server forums when you're settled in, and ask around there.

Um....

Walk leaves you on both feet. You can use powers while superjumping (barring those that require you to have your feet on the ground.) You can use them while sprinting, ninja and beast running and superspeeding. Nothing about Walk is so far gone from any of those other poses that anything should have to be reanimated. We're not talking the "I want a motorcycle" that comes up from time to time, which WOULD have all of those issues.

Two feet on the ground, one moving in front of the other. Which pretty well any animation is already dealing with (aside from rooting and having their own starting stances.)

Can't buy that argument. And even if it WERE the case, it wouldn't and shouldn't have anything to do with locking out combining of enhancements - which has no animation at all.

*nod*

Frankly, I hate the way the uber-shininess looks on some pieces (Tech Sleek, I believe, is the one I'm thinking of. if I could just get back the not-so-shiny... the really reflective version tends to look worse, IMHO.)

"The" old skirt bug? For a while it seemed any time someone so much as mentioned "costume," skirts would get twisted. Led to some interesting patterns (and I'm pretty sure I have 1-2 that use the Leather skirt like that - side seam off to one side of the thigh. Looks interesting. None of the girls needed air conditioning badly enough to want their skirts to have vents front and back, though.)

Maybe, but that's boring.

*nod* And I highly doubt we'll see redside Kheld and blueside VEAT arcs - after all, we're restricted from making either in Praetoria now, so we'll have to see what happens with the new tutorial. It's a lot of work to come up with specialized stories for four ATs. (And given how the VEAT arcs turned out... er...)

The old Pointy ears face was removed, as well. (And I believe Malaise had a top, too, but not 100% sure on that.)

This guy has both:


... but can never take that outfit to the tailor (no matter how much it needs it.)

Depending on how old the "old" costumes are, the various skirts and suit jackets will have vanished from the character model while in the tailor (from the I5-ish era remake, as well as various reorganizations since then.) Fortunately, we also tended to get a *lot* of free costume change tokens....

If it's been a fair while, I'd say take a screenshot (outside of the tailor) and reference it when remaking the costume.

People are going to look anyway, attractive or not, pretty much regardless of what's being worn. It's called being human. Is this a difficult concept? There's nothing "ugly" about it. And it applies to men as well as women.

That said, there's a difference between, say, checking someone out as he or she walks past and getting up and following them around making comments. The first happens, don't sweat it. It's silly to get offended or outraged about. The second is when you get security (or make sure there's not toilet paper stuck to your shoe or something.)

Because that's who she is and what she does.

Tried them here as well - works fine.

See if you can download and run Malwarebytes, if nothing else. Just to check things out.

Paging Techbot ALPHA.... >.>

He's been pushing for that for years.

So the people that come up and post the same thing that's been posted a few hundred times before and start complaining "Don't tell me we know the engine can't handle this, or that it'd take a lot of work, my pie in the sky idea should be put into the game NEXT WEEK!" when the flaws are pointed out are the forum cartel? Or those that insist it's somehow evil to point out flaws or do anything but agree?

That's a new application of the term.

The Orenbangans *may* have a *slight* issue with Mu-descended anything...
