    The last part of your statement betrays some of your assumptions. See, when I say a set is bad, I'm not trying to discourage anyone from playing it. I'm just informing them it doesn't perform to the level possible with other powersets, and what they do with that knowledge is up to them.
    Actually, I do wonder what's the point of doing that.

    Apparently words and phrases are used to mean different things there than they are here.
    I googled 'Arth'. He's from Switzerland? He hardly seems very neutral.

    Anyway, for my part, I'm a huge fan of the Hollows. I like to swing by for a visit and a few arcs every few characters. The incidental npc talk is pretty funny, too.

    I nominate my ss/invuln brute Lucky Dragon! They totally bonded during Faultline arcs.

  7. Wait, based on my last post. Advice to players: Please don't hit on/try to cyber with your teammates just because they are (or you think they are) women. Because no.

    It's not actually a problem I've had with roleplayers, who only ever sent me 'Do you ERP?' requests and then left me alone. I'm talking non-rper dudebros straight instant trying to talk 'sexy' too me, hitting on me, and in one case sending me pictures of their genitalia. All because they seemed to think that's acceptable to do to someone who appears to be a woman.
  8. Gosh, I'd love some more feather pieces. Feather tights textures, feather tails, feather shoulder pieces, feather gloves, etc, etc. Not a feathered headdress, unless you can make it like a cockatiel crown and not a sacred object. It'd go well with the bird pieces we already have!

    Could we have a single horn? Like a unicorn horn? There was a character in a book I read, called Acorna, who was a girl with unicorn traits, and I always think of that for costume concepts when I start with magic, but I just can't do that.

    More hair! Please more hair. I made a suggestion in the suggestion forum for new hair textures (here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=288019 ) which would increase the use of the hair without needing new meshes.

    Nice dreadlocks, please. Like what Marauder has. Um. Kind of an anecdote here. See, I suggested the exact same hairdo Marauder has now, back before he was revealed. For player characters. And then it became a signature hair.

    Anyway, I was very very sad. I would appreciate dreadlocks that look like real dreadlocks and an electric attack. Please. Pretty please.

    Let me just say that those "staves" aren't just for ladies.
    Yeah, but theirs has the most accessories.

    Anyway, my wizard is a girl because there's no 'estro-wizard' option for DnD.
  10. UPDATE! New piece by Doubleleaf@Deviantart:



    Lucky Dragon with her big brother Nightdragon (His name's Cong). Unlike her, Nightdragon has no superpowers. But then, she's adopted.
  11. I try to live up to the Canadian stereotype, mixed with following instructions and being generally friendly.

    This has backfired when a guy I calmed down from a fight brewing started pointedly going on about how he could *really* use a girlfriend at me. D:

    I will try to make your team experience pleasant, but I will not be your girl is what I'm saying.

    Uh, not that I can be anyone's girl.

    You'd be surprised. Heck, there's a whole industry devoted to better and fancier 'staffs' for women.

    Sexist! Are we not enlightened? Can't ANYONE use a big staff?

    That, and wizards aren't real and there's no actual rules. Unless they're KKK wizards, at which point let's not talk about that.
  14. Oh gosh no.

    I actually use the market more with /ah, since I can do it while flying from mission to mission, instead of a large detour, and well, it's a perk I paid for. I don't wanna be penalized for it.

  16. I chose 1, but it's a little weird how Shadowhunter's face has so much detail and there's like, almost none on Penny's in comparison.

    ..see what I mean?
    My god, I love that picture. Thanks for the laugh!
  18. I agree with the victorian decor thing. I was all 'wtf is this, even' but since then I've seen some gorgeous costumes with it, as well as found a good use for it myself.

    I wasn't wholly clear. Making it better than the in-game version is a really bad choice. I'm just lucky I had another goal in mind.

    I would probably cry. I haven't really recovered from the creep who sent me pictures of his *****.
  22. I just wanted the whole set and its bonuses, I don't really give a damn about the proc's frequency.

    Dark Astoria

    Yeah, I'm enjoying it too. The KoV are a little 'oh my god' with their powers, mind you.

    All I've ever experienced was someone doing some weird werewolf thing beside me with sexual innuendo.

    Since it was local, I solved the problem by walking a few feet away.
