I don't see why you would have problems with it being a habit. Go to your personal information, select the roleplayer tag, press backspace until it is gone. Bam, habit broken.

The NPCs still need to render on PC screens though, but this is definitely a valid argument, AND an argument against custom MM pets.

I guess I just lost my D virginity, eh?

What about the ability to create 8 man Thugs/Traps MM teams with Gang War? You can easily go over the "max NPC draw" limit with all that. If that's possible to accomplish I don't see why there'd be a problem with performance issues.

Why not toss in a graphics option to disable cape systems, then, or limit the amount of cape systems visible per character? The cape systems blocked by the limit would be replaced with "placeholder" sort of things, or much lower quality ones, like what you would see when you have character detail lowered.

I completely 100% agree with this. If it is established that a certain method of communication is OOC by the majority of the users, it shouldn't be necessary to put OOC tags around your posts. The "LOL IT'S A HABIT LOL I CAN'T HELP IT" argument is invalid because it's not a habit, that person is just using that excuse to act like a jerk. I've been roleplaying ever since they still had user chatrooms on Yahoo Chat and I've never once fallen to such a habit.



The game is rated T for the content that already exists within the game. The online content and things people can say or do is impossible to be rated by the ESRB, or else every single multiplayer game would have an AO rating. The ESRB deliberately does not rate online content, and all online content is entirely up to the people who are running the service to decide.

Buying power or enhancement slots from the store? Unless it's a one time only thing, that is a recipe for disaster.

Player models don't have the thigh attachment points, sure. But I'm pretty sure you could use the chest detail or even the "wings" to put on backpacks or such.

I don't get why that occurs. I can understand clipping issues, but that happens out the *** with player model costume parts anyway...

This has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the thread, which is emotes that there are currently animations for in the game but are not actually emotes.

The attacker creates the action, the defender causes the reaction. My previous post was there to prove that the defender could not create an ideal reaction unless a specific set of criteria were met, and there would be absolutely no possible roleplay-based way to escape what would logically happen if you did not meet said criteria.

The vehemence with which I argue with is forged by a lifetime of arguing, and being correct in said arguements. If you don't like people making sound, reasonable arguments then maybe you should go play Runescape.

Nobody is going to have the ability to jump back from the claws, which extend out instantly (if not semi-instantly), and still be in one piece.

If you are carrying an unborn fetus, and your body is suddenly moved with instant or near-instant acceleration, then your baby is going to be hurt. To successfully dodge the activation of a point-blank claw extension will involve two things: one, being able to discern intent and/or the exact precise point in time the claws begin to extend, and two, the ability to accelerate yourself instantly to a greater acceleration than the claws are extending at. The former would require extreme precognitive or reflexive superpower, the latter would involve ultra reflexes or super speed.

When a car is travelling at two hundred miles an hour and comes to a complete stop instantaneously, the passengers inside are still moving and need to be stopped. This is usually accomplished by the car itself. Further down on the scale, the organs inside the passengers need to be stopped, and are stopped by the outer walls, the bones and the skin of said passengers. Severe internal damage can be caused by organs smashing up against the skin, muscle, and bone - this is how people get concussions, when their brain smacks against the inside of their skull.

The same applies to an unborn fetus. If a mother moves at two hundred miles an hour to avoid claws being extended, that fetus is going to be subject to the equivalent force of being slammed into a human body at two hundred miles an hour. This will undeniably result in the death of said fetus, and, if the mother is not superpowered, the mother as well, due to the extreme G-forces at work. The argument "They're superheroes, it doesn't count" is invalid. In the City of Heroes and City of Villains worlds, heroes and villains take damage from falling. This is completely unavoidable in almost every case. Since the act of impacting a surface after a fall is essentially an abrupt change in acceleration, the same physics can be applied in this scenario.

If the mother is a mutant, the baby will share superpowers. However, it is an implied fact that powers do not develop in the fetus. This is why mutant mothers are able to successfully bear children and not be burned/frozen/shocked/shredded to death from the inside out. The only feasible way out of the situation once the claws have begun to extend that leaves the baby alive, is for the mother to have the ability to completely mitigate the damage done so that the claws do not even penetrate the skin. This requires invulnerability.

In summary: It is completely logical to assume a mutant invulnerability tanker will be able to avoid having her stomach stabbed through and her baby killed, but pregnant female mutant invulnerability tankers are few and far in between. Unless precise forces have come into play, if a claws or spines wielding person has their hand pressed against an pregnant mother's stomach, and then extends said claws/spines into the womb, there is no logical or feasible method of mitigating that damage unless you completely ignore the roleplay and play it off as having never happened.
