    Oh yes! I've run into a few of the nazi players. I was on a black character at the time.

    They were rpers.

    It... ugh.
  3. Wondering if you guys know anyone who does good human (and not just cheesecake for women, the character's sixteen) and ALSO mecha.

    I want a picture of my character Lucky Dragon bashing a giant robot with another giant robot.

    I find the idea of people emailing the art department complaining about Diabolique's costume and begging for it to made gender-neutral [or whatever the cause du jour is] annoying to a very high degree. There are PLENTY of NPC costumes I absolutely hate; I'm hardly lobbying the art dept. to change the game to meet my specific criteria of good and bad.

    The costume is beautiful, don't touch it.
    Naw, no one wants that. This gender neutral dystopia you fear is not in the cards!

    EDIT: not that gender neutral pieces aren't attractive. I gave a little OH GOD YES at the new Pocket D shirt with loose tie for women.

    He is the goose that lays the golden hami-os.

    hm, that sounds promising.

    I'm just hoping I can use my mindrays to convince them to use the profits to write more tip missions somehow. It makes sense. I think it does.

    I hope it does.
  8. What Mr. Morbid said. I don't mind a bit of comedy in my coh coffee. It's like using hazelnut creamer.

At some point, the powers that be decided to reverse this policy, which detrimentally affected not only the PVP community (hello, spies!) but also the RP one. CoX never had a chance to see the difference that policy would have made.
    I can safely say if CoH had gone with that policy, that would have been the most incredibly irritating thing ever.

    Yes, Bad_Influence. That is exactly what I want. I want them all as ugly as possible, because attractiveness is directly related to how much improbable skin is showing. Plus I hate the female body.

    Can we switch all the pc and npc female costumes to tiny hamidons? That sounds ideal. I think that's my new campaign. These hamidons should also be wearing gunny sacks*.

    Issue 23: Hamihoneys




    *not sure what that is, but it sounds hot

    So you kill your most iconic hero in franchise to remove him from game, then honour his death with a login screen?
    Sorry this doesnt make any sense.
    I hope someone dies for real in the SSA or Im going to kill someone myself
    MUA HAHAHAHAHA!!
    Hope it's not Citadel and they pull a Star Trek: Nemesis. "Your android died, but we picked up a new one at the shop" "Yay!"
  13. What the title says. Similar to baggy, but without the lines, can take a pattern, and with blaggy or loose long sleeves.

    A very minor suggestion! But I think it'd be a nice addition. Right now I'm doing what I can to imitate it on my hero costume with tights top, and sleeves, but it doesn't feel right. I'd use baggy, but there's no matching sleeves for it.
  14. Ugh, I hope they're cheap at least. I want to do the early arcs and switch before I'm twenty on one character.

    JESSICA! Be still my heart!

    Yes, I WILL join you.
  16. Eventually we're all just gonna be called putzes.
  17. I'm sure DDR means something else, but I'm going to pretend it's dance dance revolution and you protect yourself with the power of dance. Which, as dancing movies have shown me, is the most powerful thing of all.
  18. Thrust at us with extra justice, Zombie Statesman!

    The elemental set looks so good, so we know he can design other stuff.

    I saw someone saying that they're dressed that way because they're empowered. Nyet. They're dressed like that because Nakayama designed them. It's good that you can find a story reason if you twist yourself, at least.

    The hat is amazing, I'll give it that. Her whole head is excellent.

    Actually, I think they mean it's offensive to people who don't like trivializing nazis into a game.


  22. A screencap I took to show off the new phoenix wings on my character August Rooster.

  24. Well, the power stuff looks nice, I like the new costume stuff, a new lower level trial is awesome, and I like the team up teleporter stuff as well as the teleporter pads.

    I just wish my first reaction upon seeing the new DA caps wasn't 'why are there that warring world place screencaps here?' (I actually do feel bad about it, especially since everyone else seems to like them)

    I'm not really upset, though, since there'll be an echo of DA that I can visit for photoshoots and ghost story fun.
  25. All these costume pieces make me very very happy. And the Chinese New Year concept looks *amazing*.
